Chapter 6

(Another Long Chapter!)

Third Person's POV

Both individuals froze on the spot, one was overcome with shock and slight jealousy and the other from embarrassment. The raven head was first to snap out of his stance. He quickly called for a staff, pointing at the infant milk can he will purchase before leaving towards the cashier.

Bokuto frowned and was about the approach the younger when a lot of crowd passed in the front, blocking him from reaching Akaashi. Crap what is this? He asked himself.

The worker gave him the capsules "here it is sir" he told, handing the medicine. Bokuto claimed it with a fierce look making the staff shiver. Where was the jolly man I talked with a while ago? He thought with a nervous smile. Bokuto reached in his wallet, giving the cash more than enough from his receipt. "Keep the change, take it as a tip" Bokuto mumbled.

Akaashi swiftly got his paper bag and swiftly left the store, Bokuto hastily following behind him. The raven head was having a hard time speed walking considering that he was carrying a child, at the same time carrying many paper bags.

"Akhaseh! Slow down!" Bokuto screamed from behind. Yet the younger didn't bother to listen, too focused to go home without getting involved with his crush. Bokuto's frown deepened. He then sprinted towards Akaashi, after all he is an athlete.

"Oi!" Bokuto exclaimed, feeling so confused and jealous. Akaashi finally came to a stop, facing Bokuto with his usual emotionless expression. "Good evening Bokuto-san" Akaashi started, as if he wasn't running away from his senpai earlier.

Bokuto eyed the baby in Akaashi's jacket, in his red scarf. The infant was facing towards the busy streets, probably attracted to the colorful lights. Akaashi cocked a brow "Bokuto-san, if there is nothing you want to say, I must be going then" he turned his heel but was stopped by Bokuto holding his hand.

"Let me help.." Bokuto offered with a low voice, unknowing that he made Akaashi shiver from the tone. "O-okay.." Akaashi stuttered, finding it pressuring being around the older. Bokuto took all Akaashi's groceries, noting that most of it was baby necessities.

They walked down the pavement in complete silence. "Aren't you going to ride the bus?" Bokuto asked, staring ahead of them. Akaashi blinked "I think I would rather walk" he looked at Aito in his chest, curious about the scenery displayed. Akaashi smiled not knowing that Bokuto took a glance.

"He is having fun that is why.." the raven head finished. After minutes of walking in silence but somehow heavy with.. tension? They reached Akaashi's house.

The raven head entered his home, securing Aito on the couch, blocked by pillows before he hastily returned to Bokuto, getting the things he bought. Bokuto just stared there. Usually he would enter, inviting himself to someone's abode.

But now, there's someone making him feel so weigh down. It was the baby looking Akaashi. About to open his mouth but was stopped when Akaashi placed his slender index finger on his lips.

"I will explain soon. For now, go home because it's late. Thank you for helping me a while ago. Take care on your way Bokuto-san" Akaashi told in a very fast speed before giving the owl looking boy a bow and shutting the door close.

Bokuto blinked, slowly processing Akaashi's words before he widened his eyes. He knocked on the door "hey, why can't you explain it to me now?!" Bokuto exclaimed but was replied with no answer.

He was taken aback. Is Akaashi ignoring me now?! He knocked on his harder this time "Akasheeeehh open up!" He begged. Whilst Akaashi inside was busy making Aito's milk, but he heard those pleads very clearly. He felt bad but his instincts told him it's okay.
