Theres something beautiful about strangers becoming regular faces that you recognise because you get the same route to work every day

There are exceptions to this unwritten ‘home’ rule, however: anywhere that is completely private is also acceptable.

Which really only serves to put the bathrooms at school on the table, because heaven forbid Reki has to go an entire 8 hours without kissing his boyfriend. He thinks attempting to do that might kill him, actually.

Other than that, there are no exceptions.

These rules were created in Reki’s mind for safety. He saw how those two boys were treated.

And home is where the heart is, after all.

Due to a force-of-habit error, Reki ends up joining Langa in Canada for Christmas, and he finds homesickness harder to deal with than he initially thought. Langa does his best to make Canada just as much of a home to Reki as it is for him, but no road home comes without its cracks and bumps.

(or: home is where the heart is, but Reki's unsure if his heart is even home to begin with)

info: fluff, light angst, established renga, lots of smooching but no mistletoe, they're just gay
