"So. How's whatever going to happen later supposed to happen?" Suga questioned, opening his bag.
Akaashi sighed. "He's going to be here soon. Apparently he wanted to study at his house since it was a bit quieter today."
"Mm..." Sugawara pulled out his lap top. "So you're leaving me here by myself while you hang out with the idiot who got you in trouble? I don't know how to deal with that."
"It was either I tutor him for math or get detention for two weeks for being an accessory to crime." Akaashi mumbled. He adjusted his glasses. "Honestly it was just some paint but of course he's an idiot and decided not to use the paint for art."
"What did he even paint?"
The ravenette fixed his sleeve, picking off the lint. "Some sort of smiley face thing."
"Ooh. Dumb things for dumb people."
Akaashi shrugged. "At least he dresses himself properly."
Sugawara nodded. "He's here to get you." He glanced up. "And wearing a pink beanie."
"Oh my God you're kidding..."
"No I'm not kidding you dingus."
"Wow very mature."
"I know right."
"AGASHEE!" Akaashi flushed. He composed himself before turning around and waving. Bokuto grinned at him. "Come on!"
"Wish me luck." Akaashi whispered. He got up and headed over to Bokuto. "Hello."
"Hey hey hey!"
"Mm. Do you have your things ready?"
"Yeah!" He hummed. "Oh, your books look heavy."
"It's okay." Akaashi reassured.
"You sure? I could carry your books. Or you. Either one."
Akaashi internally started kicking himself for getting flustered.
Bokuto gently took Akaashi's books. "Come on."
Akaashi followed Bokuto out to the parking lot to a car, getting in. The only trash was a plastic bag full of gummy worm wrappers. He smiled.
Bokuto's jean chains jingled as he got into the car and situated himself. "Sorry about the backseat. I gotta keep the car seat back there for my sister. She's still tiny."
"It's alright." Akaashi whispered.
Bokuto started the car and drove off down streets that Akaashi was sure they weren't supposed to go down. It was supposed to be far apart houses with yards full of toys.
That's what everyone said. They said he lived in a run down area, that's why his jeans were so ripped up and why he was so dirty sometimes. "Um…"
"Hm?" A)Bokuto picked up something from the center console. He stopped at the start of a gated neighborhood. Bokuto put in a code and then the card.
The gates opened and Bokuto went through.
Akaashi closed his mouth. They got to a house in a col de sac and got out. Bokuto grabbed Akaashi's things and hummed, heading into one of the houses.
Akaashi walked slowly behind him, nervous now.
"Mama! I'm home! I brought Akaashi!"
A dark haired woman walked into the entry way, hand on her hip.
Akaashi internally panicked. Was he the reason for that?
"Koutarou. You need to finish this in here up."
