THIEF // BokuAka

Chapter 5

Weeks have passed by, and feelings are getting tangled in the air. Bokuto and Akaashi have grown closer, way too close for two strangers in their young age. Bokuto's wounded thigh has healed, though not completely yet but the thief has the strength to jump from roof to roof. There were a few times where the wound was opened up again which made it bled a little because he forced himself to climb down from the window to do whatever errand he has been doing these few past months. While inside each other's arms, their heads would perk up by the sound of police's sirens on patrol around the neighborhood - Then after it disappears, Bokuto would climb down off his window to discuss it with his friends.

Akaashi never asked, it made him look thoughtless but he was scared of the explanation that the thief is going to tell him once he asked. The perks of being the most sensitive in between the two, Akaashi knows he won't be pleased by whatever Bokuto is going to tell. In conclusion, he never asked. Bringing the healed-thigh back, Bokuto always came back from the window from Akaashi's bedroom and sometimes with souvenirs of dresses for Akaashi to try. The emerald eyed lad is above the clouds as he saw more dresses and felt a lot confident in wearing them in the house with or without Bokuto in the house. He feels pretty, he feels beautiful, most importantly he feels free.

Ever since the accident of the encounters between Akaashi and his father's friends, he is getting more cocky and snarky towards them. Whenever they tried to lay a hand on him, Akaashi would brush them off with smarting words which caused them to leave the house immediately. The thief has a friend who is a genius behind the internet, a few back-up plans to help Akaashi to stand up from being cornered. Nobody wanted to be blackmailed by an 18 year old highschool boy, did they? The emerald eyed lad didn't respond to his father's outrage towards his friends becoming less friendly to him which affects his position, but he won't comment on that.

Besides, by helping Akaashi with the perverts, the pretty lad helps Bokuto from being found. He isn't sure when is his grand opening and his pals would start, Akaashi isn't even convinced if Bokuto has other ideas instead of staying around the house. Not when his mother almost caught him when he was at the school, his big boxer was presumed that it was Akaashi's father's. It was a long night of scolding for the thief, for being irresponsible and reckless. He has lived here for approximately a month now, but that does not mean he can just throw out dirty underwears on the floor as he pleases. Bokuto was so ashamed, he hid under Akaashi's desk half of the day - Soon Akaashi joined him while doing his homework.

"Where's Keiji?" Bokuto heard the head of the family ask at the front door early that morning.

"I think he left early today. He stayed really late last night," his wife answered his inquiry.

The thief peeked carefully from the upstairs to check on them. Then the father says, "That boy... By the way, I need you and Keiji to come home sooner than before. I heard those scumbags are on the run again,"

"Of course, dear. I'll let Keiji know," she kisses his cheek with a smile, the same tender smile that Akaashi gave to him. "Be careful on your work and be safe,"

"You too. I'm going now," they locked the front door before parting ways to their different occupation.

And when he couldn't hear any more steps, it was a cue for him that the coast was clear. Letting out a satisfied sigh, Bokuto freely walked to the kitchen and hunted for some food. He will never understand this family who has no snacks in the house. Sometimes Bokuto would accompany Akaashi to the grocery store in order to have lots of snacks in the house , then the only child in the house would be asked questions by the sudden appetite but Bokuto didn't care because they really needed to have some light snacks in this boring house. They don't have game controllers, much to Bokuto's surprise, they didn't have newspapers either. The tv channels were mostly subscribed for local news and drama serieses. This family looks like they live under a rock or something, Bokuto swore his political opinions are better than this family. Their son has terrible scores in history! How can they live in such a place like this?
