"wow.. that's a lot of unpack" akaashi said and kenma clicked his tongue and nodded

"why don't you text him, and listen to him. maybe there is a reasonable explanation" akaashi suggested and kenma huffed and looked up at the ceiling

"you think i should ?" kenma asked, his gaze not leaving the ceiling

"i mean yeah, what do you have to lose ?"

"my dignity el oh el. but eh i guess you're right, but what if he lied and there wasn't a good reason. and what if i give my heart to him just for him to break it, and besides he has a girlfriend" kenma said and akaashi sighed

"i don't know, it may not be my place to state my opinion. but i think you should hear him out but it's your choice"

"fine i'll think about it, now what's with you and bokuto ?" kenma asked, knowing he didn't want to know.

akaashi immediately blushed and covered his face with his hands

"w-what do you mean" akaashi said as he took off his hands out of his face and looked at his lap

"do you like him ?" kenma asked and akaashi face turned a darker shade of red and sighed

"i-i think i do.. i feel fluttery around him" kenma furrowed his eyebrows.

that's how he felt around kuroo, but with akaashi.

he didn't feel fluttery, maybe it was physical attraction ?

"and i don't know, i normally wouldn't go for loud guys at all but it's just something about him, makes me feel happier.. he makes me feel happier you know ?" akaashi said and kenma shrugged

kenma felt happier with kuroo when he wasn't being a bitch towards him so he could somewhat understand.

"yeah i kind of do understand, you should ask him out" kenma said and akaashi shook his head

"n-no i couldn't possibly do that" akaashi stated nervously

"and why not ?" kenma asked curiously, tilting his head slightly to the left

akaashi averted his gaze into the wall and sighed "he wouldn't like me, im to quiet and shy for someone like him" kenma slapped the back of akaashis head

"listen here, he obviously likes you, i mean the way he looks at you. it's a given. and besides you're literally the prettiest fucking person i've ever laid eyes on. except kuroo but that's beside the point. so get your head out of your ass, and go and ask bokuto the fuck out. besides i'm almost 100 perfect certain, that owl looking bitch feels the same" akaashi felt himself tearing up

"y-you think i'm pretty ?" akaashi asked and kenma rolled his eyes

"i mean obviously, have you looked at yourself ? literally i'm jealous" kenma said and akaashi giggled

"i don't know, i've never thought of myself as pretty but thanks kenma, i needed that. and you're right" akaashi stood up and took a deep breath

"it's about time i set myself straight and ask him out on a date, i got this"

one minute later

"no i don't got this" akaashi started walking back and forth

"what if i stutter ? for fucks sake i always stutter around him. i mean how could i not ? and what if i say the wrong words and it comes out wrong ? and i make a complete fool out of myself a-and what if-"

"SHUT UP" kenma yelled then took a deep breath, he stood up and grabbed akaashis face and made him look down

"stop panicking akaashi, he's gonna say yes. believe me, he likes you not stop overthinking and go to his dorm. right the fuck now" kenma said as he took off his hands from akaashis face

akaashi slapped his face and nodded "okay i'm going before i regret this" akaashi was about to leave when he stopped

"thanks kenma, you're a great friend" akaashi said and kenma smiled.

once akaashi left the dorm kenma sat down on his bed and looked at his phone.

kenma:
what did you mean by the truth ?
