Past & Present - Keishin Ukai x Reader

Chapter 8.

It's been a week since I've seen him. As promised, Ukai and I have been talking everyday, even FaceTiming when possible. But the truth was, I missed him. God I missed him. I always found myself checking my phone multiple times a day to see if I missed a call or received a message from him. Was I being too obsessive? It's only been a week after all. Maybe I should just let him be..

"Helloooo?! (Y/N)! Are you listening!" I shook my head as I looked to my cousin. "Sorry Bo. Just..preoccupied I guess.." He slightly smiled at me as he grabbed my hand. "You haven't spoken to him today have you?" I shook my head as I sighed. "This is ridiculous! It's just a day! Why am I like this?" I whined as I rested my head on Bo's shoulder. He chuckled as he kissed the top of my head. "You know..I heard Kuroo mentioning that Karasuno is looking to practice with us again for a few days before their tournament. They may just be heading back this way soon.." I smiled to myself at the thought. "I also..wanted to ask you something.." I looked up at him concerned. He sounded strict yet unsure. He took a shaky breath as he focused his attention on his hands. "Do you..maybe..I was just thinking.." "What is it Bo?" He sighed as he sat up straight, looking me dead in the eyes. "I think..you shouldn't stay here if you're meant to be with Coach Ukai.." I looked at him with wide eyes. "Bo. Wha-" "I just..I know you tried. You tried for a long time to be happy but we just couldn't make you as happy as he could. I know me and Mom aren't enough. Hell I know you being an assistant coach isn't enough. I just want you to be finally happy (Y/N). Even if that means you moving back." I felt the tears well up as I cleared my throat. "Bo. Listen. I love you. You and your mom helped me get out of such darkness. I thought I was all alone and I'm so grateful to you and even the boys for showing me that there's more to life. And to be honest..I love my life here. Yes, me and Keishin have a lot to discuss but..I don't know if I'm ready to just get up and head back to my old town just for him. I have a life here. I have a job here. And I absolutely love my job. Joining as your assistant coach was the best decision I made in a long, long time. So please don't think that I would just up and leave you." I hugged him tightly as tears left his bright eyes. "You're the only family I have left. I would never just leave you so suddenly." He nodded as he sniffled. I smiled to myself as I held him. Bo was always one to make sure he motivated everyone around him. He always wanted to make sure others around him were the happiest they could be in that moment. That's why he's so special. But something he doesn't realize is he also has to find his happiness as well. Bo needs to know that it's ok to cheer on others, as long as he's also cheering on himself and those others show him the same kindness. "I love you (Y/N)!" I giggled as he tightened his hold on me. "You're crazy, kid. But I love you too." He let go, sighing slightly. "Come on. Let's have a family night. Some pizza, popcorn, hot cocoa? What ya say? Wanna invite the guys?" He beamed as he grabbed his phone calling Akaashi.

I smiled at his excitement. Yea I was obviously a worried wreck that Keishin hasn't called today but..that's bound to happen sometimes..right?
