{IT WAS ALWAYS YOU} Akaashi x Fem!Reader

𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠

Your first day back at school went smoothly. As soon as your class is dismissed for lunch, you walk briskly to the front of your building waiting for Akaashi and Bokuto. Even though something felt odd you shrug it off. The moment you see the pair of them appear in your vision, you run over.

"Kou!" you exclaim as you run up to Bokuto and jump into his arms.

Bokuto hugs you back, but not as tightly as he usually does.

"Uh, Y/N, I didn't mention anything about it before but why do you keep calling me that?"

You pull yourself away from him, confusion in your eyes as you look up at your friend.

"S-Sorry is that weird? I just thought I remembered something about calling you guys by your first names."

You look over at Akaashi who's giving you a seriously frustrated look.

"I can stop!" you quickly defend as you see his face.

Bokuto laughs and tells you that it's fine and the three of you begin walking to where you usually eat lunch.

"So do you remember anything else?" Akaashi asks curiously.

You think about it for a moment, wondering if you should tell your friends about what Atsumu told you. However, you figure it would be better if you didn't, remembering that Akaashi and Atsumu don't really get along and you are still confused about the situation.

"I don't think so," you tell them as you focus down at your food, feeling a bit bad that you're not completely telling the truth.

The rest of lunch was a bit quiet. You assume it's probably because you don't remember anything that you usually talk about.

"I'll be right back I'm just going to throw something out."

You continue to make sure you don't make eye contact with either of them as you stand up. On your way back you notice Akaashi's giving Bokuto a death stare.

"No! We have to wait to talk to her about it," Akaashi growls.

"It's alright," you sigh, "I'm sure I'll get my memories back soon."

Both of the boys notice your sad demeanor and decide to change the subject.

"You wanna hang out after school?" Bokuto asks.

"It might help with your memories," Akaashi adds.

You feel your face heat up from embarrassment over the fact you have other plans already with Atsumu.

"Sorry I can't," you reply nervously, "I've got something to do after school."

"What is it? Maybe we can help," Akaashi smiles weakly.

"Uhh, no!" you burst out in your defense, "It's nothing I've just got to do something with my... mom..."

I feel like I've told this lie before.

"Hm are you telling the truth?" Bokuto asks skeptically.

"What would I lie about? It's my first day back from the hospital it's not like I've got extravagant plans!" 

"Whatever," you hear Akaashi hum from the other side of the table.

You look over and see a dejected look plastered all over his face. You feel your body begin to ease as you try to figure out what emotion you were feeling.

"Keiji we can study tomorrow after school together if you want. Like we always used to do."

Akaashi looks over at Bokuto before looking back at you.
