As I walk to school, I can feel how nervous I am. It's the first day of your second year at Fukurodani. There was nothing to be nervous about. I mean I know where I'm going and basically knew most of the teachers since I do a few too many favors for them.
But it means another year of being too scared to tell Akaashi about how I feel.
Don't get me wrong, there was no competition for him (even though he is so gorgeous. I have no idea how he doesn't have a partner). But I was too scared to ruin our relationship with each other. I don't want to mess it up.
"Good morning, (Y/n)."
None other then the devil himself.
"Good morning, Akaashi." You respond.
Everyday, without fail, we walked to and from school together. When he joined the volleyball club, so did you. Although it was kind of the other way around.
As we walked to the train station, we lightly conversed with each other. But our calm, peaceful atmosphere soon changed when the 3rd years showed up. Especially Bokuto.
"Hey hey hey! Akaashi! (N/n)!" Bokuto shouted.
Both Akaashi and I waved in response, too tired to say a reply.
"So are you guys excited for Volleyball Club after school? I'm so excited."Bokuto asked.
After the train arrived, we all got in. Sadly, it was as packed as ever, and I was squished against Akaashi and a few strangers.
"Sorry. There isn't much space here." I say to try and break the ice.
"Oh it's fine, (Y/n). I don't mind. I'd actually rather be in this situation then anyone else." He monotonously said.
I was very uncomfortable though. Me. THIS close to MY crush. How am I supposed to not concentrate on my arm touching his chest.
I look away to try and hide my blushing face, but because of the crowding train, I was unsuccessful."Sorry if I'm make you feel uncomfortable. We just have two more stops to endure before we get off..."Akaashi trails off.
I look at him and see that he looks a bit sad by my reaction. Wait.... does he like being this close with me?
"Oh no! I'm not uncomfortable being this close to you it's just a little embarrassing..." I mumble out the last part. Thankfully Akaashi heard me.
I saw his cheeks dust with pink.
We get off the train and head to the gym to start morning practice. I play as a middle blocker since I've got decent blocks and can spike pretty good.
Bokuto came up to me in the locker room while we were changing.
"So.... I saw you being all lovey dovey on the train with Akaashi.... are you planning on confessing any time soon??" Bokuto whispered to me while wiggling his eyebrows.
"You look like a weirdo doing that. And I still don't think I'm ready to tell him about that. I don't even have a clue if he feels the same way Bokkun..." I trail off.
I really don't have any idea. I mean he did blush earlier, but I can't be sure just because of that one little thing.
"Tell who what?" Akaashi asks, which scares me back into reality.
"Ah....uh.. nothing! Nothing!" I spill out.
Akaashi shrugs and goes back to changing.
"Wow. Real smooth (N/n)~" Bokuto mocks.
"Oh shut up Bokkun!!" I yell, throwing my deodorant at him.
"What? All I'm saying is that I think you should tell Akaashi how you feel. I mean it's so obvious he feels the same way about you." Bokuto says. I immediately blush.
"What? No he doesn't." I deny.
"He totally does! Every time he does something amazing, he always looks in your direction for praise. And don't even get me started on the way he looks at you." Bokuto rambles.
I look at him in disbelief. Good thing Akaashi left the locker room already. He would have flipped out hearing Bokuto say this stuff.
I look over to the rest of the team for confirmation and they all nod in agreement.
I feel my face heat up even more. How did I not notice this?
"Well have fun with that information. Hope I see you guys together because you guys would be so cute together!" Bokuto says.
Him and the rest of the team leave. You are alone in the locker room now.
How can I go out there now? When I know all of this? I won't be able to concentrate!
I finish and slowly make my way out to the gym.
The team and I warm up and start practice. As we did practice matches, I started noticing all the little glances Akaashi sends me whenever he does an amazing set.
Bokkun was right?
