Always Exhausted

Just read the fluffiest renga cuddles. I'm gonna cry. Anyways I wrote this just because of that super fluffy renga cuddles. I need more. Also Langa has a pet cat in this because I said so. Anyways, expect a lot of cuddle oneshots. I'm obsessed with writing them rn.

Langa always felt exhausted. No matter how much sleep he got or what he did. He somehow made it through the school day without dozing then could fall asleep in an instant when he got home. That's how it never plays out though.

It was 1:48 am when Langa fell into his pillow. He was tired, but not tired enough to fully fall asleep. It felt like he laid there awake for hours, he felt like he didn't close his eyes, not even blink. He could hear the fan next to him blowing air.

Every time Kenzi, his cat that his mom named, licked him, bit him, walked over his somewhat-conscious body to get to the other side of the bed and when she laid right next to him. He could hear and feel. If he were actually asleep, he would be dreaming. But all he could see was darkness.

Though, it was a Saturday, he still got out of bed at the ass crack of sunrise. He was supposed to go to Reki's today, Langa doesn't think he can. He can barely keep his eyes opened, he felt floaty. Everythi-ng around him was light; he wasn't actually there. Maybe he was an Angel or a ghost now. Langa walks down the stairs and into the kitchen, where his mom is, about to leave for work.

"Woah! Baby are you ok?"
She asks, stopping him in his tracks.

"M'fine. M'going to Reki's."
Langa sleepily mumbled, walking out the house
and getting on his phone to message his bubbly boyfriend. He didn't care that his words
seem to have mushed together and how
slurred those words seemed to be.

When he gets to Reki's he knocks on the door, nothing unusual; they had a special knock though. Langa laid his head on the door, waiting. Until the door opens, he falls into whoever answered, luckily, it was Reki.

"Woah ok. Hello to you too!"
He greeted.

"Hey."
Langa grumbles, his head still
against the boy's shoulder.

"Let's go to my room, nobody is here so
don't worry about waking anybody up."
Reki explained.

He let the redhead drag his body to the bedroom. Langa was already falling asleep.

"Are you ok? You seem sleepy?"
He asked out of concern. Langa liked
how Reki always said 'sleepy' instead of 'tired'
or 'exhausted'. That word made him feel
more floaty, which was just perfect for him.

"M'fine. Just feel like no sleep."
Langa summarized, too tired to get into the
details about him being surrounded by darkness
and hearing the fan that was blowing in his
face and feel Kenzi licking or biting him.

"Did you not get any sleep last night?"
Reki asked.

"M'did!"
He replied, slurred, whining and mumbling

"It felt like I was awake the whole night though."
He added, trying to explain without saying much.

"Do you want to cuddle and watch some skate videos? I found new ones last night!"
The redhead asked. Does he ever? He
loved cuddling. It may not seem like
that though.

"I'll be big spoon and I'll hold the phone."
Reki added. Oh my god. Langa just wanted
to marry him now. This is what he needed.

"I'll hold the phone."
Langa suggested.

Reki was sitting up a bit, Langa laying on his chest, holding the phone. He was practically asleep already. He almost dropped the phone on several occasions, Reki grabbing it before it fell off the bed.

"I can hold the phone now."
He said. But Langa would shake his
head 'no'. His phone was about dead
anyways. He forgot to charge it last night.

"Hold onto me!"
Langa demanded, whining and slurring, trying
to snuggle deeper into the boy below him.

"I am! You always get to whiny and
demanding when you're sleepy!"
Reki complained

"M'tired."
He groaned like Reki had no clue.

"Ok, to sleep for you."
The redhead said, taking the phone out of
Langa's hand, he was about to drop it anyways.

"Heyyy! I was watching that!"
Langa whined, his voice high pitched
and raspy. Reaching to get the phone
back, he looked at Reki with puppy eyes.

"Ok, I could usually not resist you
but you really need sleep, man."
Reki claimed, putting his phone on the charger.

"M'not tired!"
He denied, giving up on the phone and
laid on top of Reki, sulking.

  They laid in a comfortable silence. Sleepiness and drowsiness filled the air. Now this time, Langa for real fell asleep. The blue haired male shifted in his sleep, laying on his stomach instead of his side, he wrapped his arms around Reki the best he could. Reki played with his hair and kissed the top of his head, and his forehead. Langa snores a lot, especially now since he was in a deeper sleep than usual. Reki didn't mind. He was still a little sleepy too.

"You know, being with someone you love
can make you sleepy? It releases serotonin or melatonin? I don't know. But it makes you
sleepy. And that's what you're doing to me
now, especially just sleeping on top of me."
Reki thought out loud; yawning. He looked
down at his sleepy face, his hair covering his
eyes. His mouth just barely opened and his breathing so even.

"I love you."
Langa slurred, replying to Reki's rambling
and aloud thinking. He never said just 'love you'
or 'I love you too'. Reki was used to that by now.

"I love you."
The redhead responded, yawning again
and closing his eyes and attempting to sleep as
well.
