Hey, Stranger

Chapter 1

"Seriously? C'mon you have to get up, Akaashi!" Akaashi's friend, Kaori told him pulling him up from the bed barely getting him to stand up.

"No! No way, Kaori! You know, I don't like socializing with people," he replied to his friend ever so shaking his head.

"That is exactly the reason why you can never get a hold of your social anxiety!"

"Just leave me alone in my bed." Akaashi sighed.

"That's not happening!" his female friend smirked and finally got him to stand on his own feet.

"That was some work out!" she commented.

"Geez."

"Now, go and change or do you want me to be the one to change you?"

"Are you my friend or are you a thief?" He said in disbelief and face palmed.

"A thief? How am I going to be a thief?"

"You stole my TIME to rest and stay HOME!" He replied, irritated.

"Just this once. Please Akaashi," she begged.

"Fine! Fine! But just this one time!"

Akaashi slowly walked towards his closet and took out a set of new attire for him to go out. He went in the bathroom to change and tidy himself up.

"Yes!" Kaori shrieked in joy before Akaashi could even go inside the bathroom.

"I heard that!" He shouted.

The loud music around the party was a sick joke for Akaashi. The smell of alcohol, cigarettes, and different colored lights around him felt like he just welcomed his death.

"Welcome to your first ever pool party, Keiji Akaashi!" Kaori shouted to overcome the sound of music booming around them.

"Why are we here? I thought we're only eating dinner outside, " Akaashi grunted.

"This is my friend's party!" Kaori said and pulled him closer to her and twirled him around, "Besides you need a little fun in your body system."

"No, I don't. All I need is a comfortable pillow, my blanket, my bed, and my phone. I can't believe you got me to come here with you in this loud party."

"Pssh! You're over reacting, Akaashi! Stop being a kill joy for once and just have fun!"

Kaori grinned at him and she went to greet her other friends. After a few moments or so, Akaashi found his friend dancing like a lunatic in the middle of the swarm of people in this party.

He didn't want to go near so many people so he went to the bar in the area and sat at the stool their.

"One apple juice, if you have one." He ordered and scratched his neck.

"Alright, sir." The bartender smiled sheepishly at him and soon handed him his choice of drink.

"Thank you," Akaashi stated. The man just smiled again and nodded before going back to his job.

"Iwaizumi, one mojito!" a stranger ordered beside him. He had white spiky hair with black tips that him look like an owl. A loud owl.

The stranger sat beside him and smiled, "Hey. Is it your first time here? I've never seen you here."

"Umm...yes," He mumbled. He sipped on the rim of the glass of his juice and looked at the pool in front of him taking his eyes off the human owl.
