"Don't wake her up, she's barely had any sleep this month" Bokuto said as Atsumu barged into his room howling at the top of his lungs.

"I got Onigiri from my brother's restaurant" he smiled setting the boxes down on the table beside him. Bokuto was home and almost healed, he was advised to rest for the week before he could finally go back to practice.

"Thank you" he smiled gratefully.

"BOKUTO SAAA-" Hinata slapped his mouth shut when he saw Seikan fast asleep.

"Hmm?" She stirred awake with all the ruckus.

"It's nothing, love, go back to sleep" Bokuto whispered, his calloused hand gently caressing her hair.

"I heard someone-" she sat up "Hinata san?" She then looked at the blonde. "That's- what are you two doing here?"

The two gave Bokuto the 'You haven't told her??' look and he sighed.

"Sei chan..." he took a deep breath "they're my teammates"

"Team... mates?" She looked at him in confusion.

"I joined MSBY." He smiled "I'm sorry I couldn't tell you soone-"

"Ah!" She softly exclaimed "Really?" She was barely sleepy anymore.

"Y-Yes" he had a small hue of pink forming on his face.

"Congratulations!" She gleefully said like a five year old "Oh, that's so nice"

"I got Onigiri for all of us!" Atsumu glowed.

"And I got tempura!" Hinata smiled.

"I'll make some ramen" Seikan said, heading to the kitchen.

Bokuto couldn't have been happier. "Thank you for coming" he said.

"That's okay" his friends said "Itadakimasu!"

He picked up his chopsticks but couldn't get his fingers to move them. His fingers trembled and they just dropped from his hold.

"It's okay" Seikan whispered, helping him eat "We'll work on it" she said and Bokuto couldn't be any more disappointed in himself.

"How do I play like this?"

"It's okay" she reassured, "you're trying your best. It'll be alright." She gently massaged his fingers as he watched her with a pout on his face.

Atsumu looked at them weirdly, "HOW DID YOU..." he pointed at Bokuto "...MANAGE TO LAND HER?? You're as chirpy, noisy and as moody as one can get."

"Haaaah?" Bokuto's brows furrowed.

"Yeah, she's too quiet and you're so noisy" Hinata said and Seikan giggled, "but he's the nicest person I've ever met".

"You see that?" Bokuto said as she continued to massaged his fingers "she's the best! Oh, Sei chan that feels good."

"Okay, I'm gonna leave before this turns into something else" Atsumu joked and Hinata burst out laughing.

"My, what chaotic energy" Seikan laughed to herself as she went to bring glasses from the kitchen. She was glad that they came to see Bokuto, he seemed so down after coming back home. His fingers trembled every time he tried to pick something up and he was so annoyed with himself. He'd come running to Seikan every five minutes after another failed task and she comforted him every single time.

"But, honestly..." Bokuto said as he eyed the chopsticks he held, before looking at her pouring juice into the glasses in the kitchen, "...I don't know what I'd do without her" his chirpy self had mulled down as Atsumu just watched him look at Seikan with a small smile on his face.

"You'll be fine before the season starts" Atsumu said, "your doctor seemed very positive. He said you're recovering fast."

"He'll be fine by next week" Seikan said placing the juice glasses on their respective coasters as Hinata helped her.

"Next week??"

"Yes." She deadpanned "next week"

"A-Are you sure?" Bokuto asked her.

"I'm confident." She smiled at him "you're doing so well, Kou san"

And his heart hurts into pieces as his face carried the most beautiful smile she'd ever seen "well, I can't disappoint you then".

"You two are so wholesome, I could cry!!" Hinata was so excited for Bokuto to return.

After they left, Bokuto helped her clean up. He held her as she did the dishes, his face in her neck, nuzzling her, taking in her scent, "I love you so much, Sei chan".

"And I love you" she placed a small kiss on his face.

Every time his hand trembled, her heart broke for him. He tried so hard to get better and by each physio session, he did get better. He wasn't content but she kept assuring him that slow progress was still good progress.

"You're my beautiful boy" she said after every physio session and his eyes teared with how good he felt.

After his session, they visited his grandma who was busy knitting a pink shawl for Seikan, "oh, you look so much better! Oh, my Taro!" She hugged him, "did you bothered Sei a lot?"

"I did. But she hasn't complained... yet."

"He's been trying his best, Obaasan." Sei sat next to his grandma and leaned into her shoulder "I missed you."

"I missed you too, my child", she hugged Seikan. "Ah, I made hot soup for you. It's simmering on the stove. How about I season it and bring it for you two while you do the usual on this poor couch of mine?" She laughed heading inside.

Seikan covered her face in embarrassment as Bokuto laughed at what she said. He swiftly moved towards her, pinning her down on the couch before she could even uncover her face.

"Kou san!"

"You heard what she said" he kissed her face.

"That's not what she m-"

"That's exactly what she meant" he kissed her and she couldn't bring herself to stop him "thank you, love. I couldn't have done this without you." He said between kisses.

"Kou san!" She gasped as he peppered kisses down her neck.

"Nothing she hasn't seen before" he smiled as her eyes met his bright ones. The ones she'd fallen for, years ago.

"Oh, god! I can never get used to this" his grandma walked in with soup bowls in a tray.

Bokuto's tremors had gotten so much better as the week progressed. He could eat and write without help. "You're doing great" she softly nudged him as he ate a spoonful of rice. She looked so proud.

"Sei chan..." he put his spoon down, his fingers fidgeting with what he had to say.

"...the season is starting soon. Will you... come cheer for me?"

"Of course I will, Obaasan and I will both be there".

"You mean it??!" He asked and she nodded.

"I-I" he stuttered before taking a deep breath "I'll win the match for you, Sei chan"

"I hope you do, Kou san. I'd love to watch you play again."

"And if I win..." he swallowed the lump forming in his throat, waiting for his breath to grow steadier "PLEASE MARRY ME!"

That's not how Bokuto wanted to say it. He got way too excited.
