reki's greatest distraction >:0 for some reason, langa's been really into strawberry lollipops (experts wud argue its bc it reminds him of a certain someone's hair color) 🍓
- Kojiro makes "joe mama" jokes (get it? because joe?) that only Langa appreciates because it only works in English (Kaoru can speak/understand English, too, but he does not appreciate the jokes)
- Reki is not ticklish– he's trained himself to be in order to survive his household
- Langa, on the other hand, is extremely ticklish and Reki takes advantage of this often (it's a win-win for him because he gets to see Langa laugh, and he gets to be in close proximity to him/touch him)
- Miya will claw your eyes out if you try to tickle him
- Hiromi owns a cat. She scratches the shit out of him but he loves her nonetheless. Her name is Slasher.
- Nanako has known Langa was not straight for many years, but acts all surprised when he comes out to her because the internet told her that saying "I knew it!" was wrong. (Langa can see right thru her, but appreciates her support regardless)
- Reki gives the best hugs, everyone in the Sk8 gang agrees with this (Kaoru won't say it out loud, nor will he ever talk about the circumstances in which Reki hugged him, latching onto him like a parasite)
- Reki can be very smooth with his flirting... once in a while. There's like a 20% chance that what he says comes across as cool and effortless as he wants it to be.
- Miya wants to get a cat when he's older and living on his own, and he's already done the research on how to take care of it and has name ideas based off of what breed he ends up getting (he plans on getting a shelter cat).
- Hiromi is a college dropout, and he was not expecting to like his job as a florist as much as he did (and it's not just because of his cute manager).
- Because Reki has experience making skateboards, he's just good in general with woodworking. He'll make little figures, shelves, etc.
- Reki used to not be good at drawing, but he got better with practice and art classes. He wanted to be able to paint boards, so he was really determined to improve his skills.
- Langa is not a creative person. Anything artsy isn't exactly his forte. While he excels in English class at a Japanese school, he wasn't great at it in Canada since everything was all vague metaphors. He liked math and sciences more since it's straightforward.
- Reki makes so many typos when he's texting Langa... which doesn't help since Langa hardly understands Japanese kanji anyway (this is why they prefer to just call each other, Langa's way better at conversational Japanese)
- Kojiro knows Japanese, Italian, French, English, and a little bit of Spanish (since it's similar to the other romance languages he already knows). Is he perfectly fluent in all of these? Nope! But he can generally carry on a conversation if the other speaks slow enough and is patient as he figures it out in his head. Japanese is his strongest, obviously, since it's his first language. Italian is pretty good since he spent so much time in Italy. French and English are okay, sometimes he doesn't recognize certain phrases but he's somewhat fluent. Spanish is his worst, he can hardly converse in it.
- Kaoru knows Japanese, English, and a little bit of Italian (Kojiro taught him some!)
- Langa doesn't like the taste of mint
- Kaoru could hack everyone's phones if he really wanted to, he taught himself a bunch of coding/hacking stuff in high school in order to mess with the school technology
- Every time Reki passes someone walking a dog, he just says "doggie!!" under his breath and Langa tries to encourage him to ask the owner if he can pet it
- Reki has looked up his zodiac sign's romantic compatibility with Langa... he was not disappointed
- meanwhile Langa doesn't even know what his sun sign is
- Langa's the time of person who plays minecraft survival mode and dies the first night
- Reki likes creative mode, but he also likes the challenge of having to gather the materials for the stuff he wants to build
- Kojiro hardly drinks tea ever, but he has like four different boxes in his kitchen cabinet just for Kaoru
- alternatively, Kaoru doesn't drink coffee but he always has some in his cabinet for Kojiro (it's labelled "Joe's joe")
- Miya despises cold weather with a burning passion
- Oka chooses not to say anything when Miya starts hanging around during Reki and Langa's shift
- Oka is kind of an all-knowing being when it comes to the Sk8 gang? Since Reki and Langa work for him, the others will sometimes visit/hang out and he pretends not to notice but he listens to EVERYTHING
- Langa curses in English
- Reki doesn't understand what Langa's saying and he doesn't know the letters to type it out into google translate so he just waltzes right up to Kojiro and goes "hey, what does 'fuck' mean?"
