This takes place a week after episode 7.

Reki POV
It's been a week since me and Langa had that argument. We haven't talked since then. He's given me some space, but would occasionally come by my place and ask if I'm alright.

JOE has been teaching me some new tricks. Turns out JOE used to feel how I feel, he felt like he was going be left behind too. Until he started training and learning new tricks.

Today I decided to go find Langa. I don't know what I'd say to him. Do I apologize? Do we just pretend that whole night didn't happen?

I already knew where Langa would be, so it didn't take me too long to find him. I was skateboarding towards the skatepark, where I taught Langa how to ride a skateboard.

When I got there I saw him sitting down on one of the ramps, he was looking at the sunset. I got of my skateboard and was prepare to be yelled at by him. I mean I did take everything out on him.

He was so lost in thought he didn't hear me coming. I coughed to make my presence known, and he quickly looked up at me. I saw a smile form on his face when he saw me, that same smile he only gave to me.

I was about to start talking until Langa quickly got up and pulled me in for a hug. I wasn't expecting this.

"Langa? What's this for?" I asked my eyes started to tear up.

"I just thought you needed a hug," He replied back, his arms were wrapped around my neck. He one hand on my back and the other in my hair.

I didn't reply after that. I was crying. I wrapped my arms around his waist and cried into his chest. He rubbed soothing circles on my back and ran his fingers through my hair.

We stayed like that until the tears stopped coming. I let go of him and he let go of me. But he grabbed both of my hands and looked at me.

"Reki, I'm sorry for not noticing what you were going through. I was so focused on pushing pass my limits, when I should've been focusing on you." He was rubbing my hands with his thumbs.

"No, I'm sorry. I took everything out on you. It wasn't even your fault. Besides, I probably should've told you how I felt and communicated better with you." I chuckled towards the end, another smile appeared on Langa's face.

"Reki, you're amazing! Don't listen to what everyone else says, they don't know what you can do." Langa tightened the grip on my hands a bit. I looked down at the ground.

"How?" I asked my voice was very quiet but Langa heard me.

"You made a board specifically for me, you taught me how to skate, you even noticed when Miya wasn't enjoying skating and got him to enjoy it again, you can notice when my board is acting up just by watching me skate and you've always been there for me!" I looked up at him, he had this huge smile on his face and his eyes were sparkling.

"You really think so?"

"I know so. Don't listen to any of them! They don't know the real you, they don't know about everything you've done and they certainly don't know all the talent you have." Langa let's go of my hands which made me frown, he noticed and pulled me in for another hug.

"Thank you, Langa. I needed that." I replied wrapping my arms around his waist as he wrapped his around my neck.

"You're welcome. I really missed you.."

"Me too..."

This whole oneshot has literally been my dream after I watched episode 7! I literally wake up and think this happened, I WANT IT TO HAPPEN I NEED IT TO HAPPEN.

Also I really hope JOE teaches Reki some new tricks. Because I feel like JOE can relate to Reki, with the feelings of being left behind. I mean he was friends with ADAM. And is friends with CHERRY. So he could've felt like they were improving more than him. UGH IF THIS HAPPENS IM GONNA SCREAM!
