IT’S ALL ABOUT THE YEARNING
It takes Reki by surprise ; the statement, the question, the sudden realization that perhaps he wasn’t the only one who couldn’t quite chase the insecurities away, that Langa wanted to hold onto Reki for as long as he could, just as badly as Reki wanted to hold onto him. It’s too much at once, and Reki finds he can’t hold Langa’s blue gaze. So he averts his eyes, glancing to the side as a hand nervously moves to tug at his headband.
“ .... I dunno.” ( a shrug ). “If you’re selfish, I’m selfish.”
Except he was, wasn’t he? That’s what he had been telling himself all this time — that it was selfish to want things to stay the same. That he was ultimately holding Langa back.
Maybe —. If they were both ——.
“ And I do. Uh. Need you, I mean. I do.”
( it was okay to be a little selfish, right? )
