Monday was crazy. Oikawa was more obnoxious than ever and even at morning practice, Iwaizumi seemed jittery. The whole school was abuzz, wondering what had occurred that weekend and heightened their spirits. Kuroo shook his head. He knew exactly why his friend was practically bouncing off the walls; it had something to with the painful four hour call he had endured the other day.

Oikawa went on and on about how amazing his date with Iwaizumi was, grinning from ear to ear. Bokuto was happy for him of course, but he still couldn't hold back the tiny bit of jealousy he felt when hearing about their outing. He wanted to take Akaashi to a cool restaurant and look at the stars. Now he couldn't do it, otherwise, Oikawa would complain about him being a copycat. He would have to come up with a new idea- something that would outshine Oikawa's by an entire galaxy. Unfortunately, this is what resulted in Bokuto being unable to focus on Akaashi trying to help him with his work. All he could think about was going on a date.

"Bokuto-san, please focus. This is due tomorrow." They both looked down at the half completed worksheet that lay on his desk.

"But I can't," Bokuto whined.

"Why not?"

"Just because Agaashi."

Akaashi frowned. "Keep working." Bokuto opened his mouth to complain but shut it again when Akaashi sent him a swift glare. He sighed and picked up his pencil. Once the work was deemed "good enough" the two headed upstairs to the kitchen for a snack. Bokuto was surprised to see that it was dark outside even though this is how it had been for the past month. It was getting colder in Tokyo, a perfect time to drink hot chocolate and sit by the fire. After Akaashi made them their beverages (because Bokuto couldn't be trusted to boil water), they made their way to Bokuto's bedroom. Bokuto flopped onto the ground. Beside his bed, there was a fluffy carpet and a fireplace. "Agaaaashiii! Sit down." Outside, a fresh blanket of snow covered the ground.

"You are very fortunate to have a fireplace here, Bokuto-san." Akaashi gestured to the gas fireplace encased in stone. Not many teenagers could say they had their own fireplace in their room.

"Right? Thank you for the hot chocolate 'Kaashi."

"You're welcome." It was when Bokuto was down to the last drops of hot chocolate he remembered what had purchased at the mall.

"Akaash!" Bokuto exclaimed. Akaashi jolted in surprise.

"Yes?"

"Okay, so you know how I went to the mall last weekend right?"

"I remember. What did you get? More shoes I presume." Bokuto blinked. Darn, Akaashi really did know him like the back of his hand. It was kind of disappointing because the surprise wouldn't have as great of an effect but he still thought Akaashi's mind reading powers were cool.

"Wait here." Bokuto set his mug down on the carpet and rushed to his closet. Conveniently, the two shoe boxes were still on the counter so he didn't have to go digging for them. He ran back to the fireplace and plopped down on the carpet.

"Check it out." He set the boxes down beside Akaashi. Akaashi eyed the boxes suspiciously and took a sip from his mug.

"Ah, I knew you bought shoes."

Bokuto fiddled with his hands. "Yes... Um, you know how I like Jordan 1's a lot?"

"Yes."

"Well look!" Bokuto opened the first box to reveal his new shoes. "I got a new pair. Retro, Obsidian, Jordans. Hey hey hey!"

"Very cool Bokuto-san. I thought you had these before."

Bokuto carefully slipped on the shoes and laced them up before replying, "Nope! But I've always wanted a pair of these. They've been super popular lately so they were hard to get." Bokuto walked back into the closet to take a look in the mirror. They didn't really match his current outfit but they looked so fucking awesome.
