"Bokuto-san is everything ok?" I asked. The boy who's looks were similar to a horned owl stood with me in the hallway after classes.
Lately his mood has been different, i sensed something was wrong but now I'm just plain worried.
Not even my sarcastic jokes or a speech had helped him with his feelings now, his mood has been low all week and I haven't been able to help in anyway.
Though most of the time when his mood drops I tell him I'll buy him ice cream and that he'll be fine and the captains mood goes back to normal and we talk about it to prevent it from happening again.
This time not even calling him 'Bokuto-senpai' helped and that normally worked like a charm.
Bokuto-san stopped and waiting for me continue "what's the matter Bokuto-san?" the captain forced a smile at me, "Nothing 'Kaashi! don't worry about it"
Bokuto-san turned around and continued walking, leaving me by my classroom door. Normally he watched me until I sat down but I guess he was in a bad mood.
for some reason I felt guilt in my stomach for my senpai's behavior, I'm not exactly sure why or if I have done anything that might've bothered him but he's obviously hurt about something, I just need to figure out what.
At lunch I grabbed my bento box and three cans of soda at the vending machine not too far from the roofs staircase.
I walked up and opened the latched door revealing the same familiar scenery as always and sitting in the same bamboo bench hidden away with Bokuto-san.
He wasn't talking to himself or me when he noticed my presence, something is definitely wrong.
deciding against asking him for a fifth time today I handed him his normal two cans of soda and placed my bento between us so he could eat my shrimp.
We always had the same routine but for some reason he's been saddened or more emotional than usual.
As much as I'm terrible at being comforting he tells me I'm very empathetic and can read emotions easily, during lunch if he's upset I normally ask and if it's something that's uncontrollable he normally tells me.
But stuff like him getting bullied by younger students, or even a mean customer at his parents store he never tells me because he hated feeling "over dramatic" I never once felt like his feelings were dramatic.
He always would say "Akaashi you're reading too much into it" whenever it was something that got under his skin.
Which when he says that it's obvious there's something I'm reading into so just tell me what's wrong.
I sighed and he glanced raising an eyebrow at me, he had rice all over his face which made me laugh as soon as I noticed.
'Ah. Not even my laugh made him feel better' bokuto let go of his chopsticks wiping his mouth with his sleeve "Sorry 'Kaashi"
"There's nothing to be sorry for Bokuto-san" he nodded a bit hesitant, seriously what is going on?
"Bokuto-san -" "Bokuto, I told you not to be so formal 'Kaashi" I acknowledge it and continued "Bokuto, you know you can talk to me of somethings wrong" I smiled.
He sat there silently before sighing and nodding at me, he still had pieces of rice on his face which made him look more adorable but I let it slide as he replied to me.
"Can I- No never mind it's dumb" I raised an eyebrow "Can you what? and don't say that your feelings aren't dumb"
"Can I have a sleepover with you tonight 'Kaashi?" he asked, I gave him a friendly nod and finally wiped the rice off his cheek.
