More Renga headcanons because I'm big dumb - Swearing Edition
Also I will be writing more of these and these do appear in my fic, though this is a lot more explicit (yes, a shameless plug)
Langa swears like a sailor, but exclusively in English. He will somehow slip in English swears into his Japanese without it sounding weird
He also swears in front of his mother (mostly when he hurts himself or does something dumb or messes up. Not swearing at his mother). The first time Reki hears Langa say fuck in front of his mother, he is convinced Langa had a death wish. Nanako does not care, as long as her son remains polite in front of others. Reki does not get used to it
Reki, however, does not swear.
Sure, he'll say things like shit and hell and ass, but never real swears. Only playground swears. And fuck is out of the question. Reki is a good big brother and he has the duty of being a good role model in some way. He's already a horrible influence when it comes to school and being careful, so if at least he can be good with his language, then so be it.
The first time Langa hears Reki say fuck, his heart nearly stops
They're at work and it's a slow, but really bad day. Reki was in a bad mood when he got there, looking a lot more tired than usual, his usual sunshine glow completely gone
Reki snaps when he drops a box of wheels on his foot, the first fuck (at least around Langa) escaping him, not that he seems to care that he just swore really loud
Langa freezes, almost dropping the pen he was holding. It's shocking to hear Reki swear. Also a little hot but sh. And he has no idea what he should do. Should he leave Reki alone or help him out?
He ends up cautiously approaching Reki to see if he's okay. It's like approaching a bomb just waiting to explode, but Langa can't think of anything else to do
Without warning, Reki falls into Langa's arm, face nuzzling into the crook of Langa's neck
Langa tenses. He feels his face burning up because Reki is so close. Reki is pressed against him. Reki is legit leaning into him. And Langa has no idea what to do
"What are you doing?" "Recharging. You're warm."
Langa is 100% gone at that point, but he does manage to hug Reki back. And they stand there, hugging, for a good 10 minutes until the door is chiming and someone is walking in and Reki is back to his cheery retail worker persona, greeting them, ready to help them.
Langa ends up locking himself in the backroom until his heart calms, but he didn't miss the slight flush of Reki's cheeks when he jumped back from Langa
