Give me 5
Reno scowled at his phone before looking up and around at the other people on the bus. No one seemed especially suspicious or interested in him, however.
Kandi
Do I have anything on schedule tomorrow?
No, please do send in the most recent updates on the track listing, though
Great, can do
Streets clear. Should be fine for the night but be careful.
With a sigh, he thanked her then put his phone away and rested his head against the bus window, watching as familiar streets rolled by. When they got to his stop, he thanked the driver and stepped out onto the street, pulling the hood of his hoodie up to hide his hair. He took the stairs up to his flat two at a time and as soon as he was inside, he lay down on the fluffy rug in front of his TV with a tired sigh.
He still needed to eat something, exercise, practice violin, shower, and get ready to go out with Luka.
Luka. His stomach warmed immediately, remembering that he had a date tonight with Luka. He pictured him in the shower, how he’d left him, and let out a frustrated groan, pushing his torso up with his hands to stretch his back before he moved off the floor and grabbed his violin to tune.
He could do it; he had the motivation. He just had to make it through the next few hours, then he would have the best reward in the world—time with Luka.
Luka

Reno stretched his hands, flexing his fingers against each other before forcing himself to stand up from his practice stool and put his violin back on its stand. He pulled an arm over his head, arching his back with a sigh and feeling his spine pop in several places, before dragging his focus entirely away from music and into the present.
It always took him many moments to switch his attention from practice and creation into reality again, but he found it slightly easier tonight because he knew he was getting ready to see Luka. He was glad to hear that Luka had spent the day walking around and seeing London instead of being cooped up indoors. He admired the bravery Luka seemed to have, going out into the world alone to explore without letting anything hold him back.
It reminded him a bit of himself, the headstrong way he attacked anything in front of him without flinching. It made his stomach warm pleasantly, thinking he’d maybe found someone who could match his want, his need to go further than he’d been before.
It made something itch under his skin, though.
Reno knew his life was chaotic, that he wasn’t home often, that he could go months at a time without sleeping in the same bed longer than a night or two. If Luka really did share a familiar taste for exploring, but had limited ability to do so, how could Reno expect Luka to wait for him? He needed to talk to Luka about it, to ask him how he felt about the distance, about Reno’s busy life, about the stark independence Luka would have to employ if he stayed in Reno’s life. But he’d promised Luka he wouldn’t pressure or pester him for answers or decisions for the next two weeks.
