the shifted // a haikyuu x aot crossover

wake of the freaks.

POV: KOTAROU BOKUTO.

Titans. Chasing me through the forest, I held on tight to the reigns as my horse sped through the trees. At this point, I didn't even need to make it gallop. It wanted to live as badly as I did. I felt like we mutually understood each other as horse and rider that neither of us wanted to die at that moment. So we took off.

I can't find Akaashi. Where the hell is Kuroo? Kenma? What about that Eld guy? Shit, am I going to die?

Before I knew it, other Titans seemed to catch a whiff of my tasty human flesh pass by, and began chasing me together. With each one joining, I felt a portion of my life flash before my eyes. One leaped forward, barely missing the tail of my horse as we kept going forward. 

Crap, what do I do?

I know I can be dumb sometimes. I sometimes don't make the best decisions either. I get frustrated easily and tend to bring others down with me because of it. I've sorta hated that part of myself, whether or not I would admit it out loud. That's why when I first joined Fukurodani, it was the biggest blessing in my life.

It was then that I realized, I didn't need to do things on my own anymore. I was so used to having to be the one carrying my team, I didn't realize that they were all standing behind me. I wasn't alone anymore, and they let me become the best ace that I could be by supporting me and standing at my side. I didn't need to be the only one fighting.

That's also why I'm so grateful for Akaashi. Now that I think about it, he's the only person who I can really say saw how awesome I was. At this point, I'm surprised that he doesn't hate me entirely. At the same time, what can I say? I'm the best! 

But, I didn't become the best on my own. I always had someone right there beside me, or someone right behind me. Whether that be Akaashi or the rest of my amazing teammates.

So here I am. Left alone in a life or death situation. If this happened to me about three years ago, I probably would have thought this would be the end of me. As the Titans came inching closer, my life flashed before my eyes. I probably would have died.

But I'm not alone.

"Kotarou you little shit, don't die."

That's right. I can do this. There are people who can help me, I just need to find them.

I pulled the reins of my horse, turning off the path and into the forest. A Titan nearly pulled me off my saddle, but I narrowly dodged it.

Holy shit!

There were three things on my mind at that moment.

1: Get to Captain Levi.

2: Go fast.

3: Don't die.

With the thumping of Titans behind me and the fast pace of the horse, I could feel my heart about to burst. My head was spinning, and I felt like I would faint right then and there.
