" You have insomnia?" Akaashi felt as if he had stepped right into hell. He Felt this lump in his through and no matter how hard he swallowed it didn't seem to disappear." Bokuto, how far through are you? What stage are you on? Can you still sleep?" Akaashi asked through speed he did not care for. Only the answers he desired. Can you still sleep at least... a little...?" Akaashi asked softer and voice barely there. 

" Akaashi, Akaashi! I'm fine! I've had FFI for like a month now, maybe. And the last time I've slept was maybe uh... 2 weeks ago, maybe? yeah, Two weeks ago!"

"And how am I only just now finding out about this?" Akaashi coked a brow and now wore a stern yet concerned facial expression. 

" I-" Bokuto started proudly, Only for his voice to trail down to a whisper."Didn't think" Quieter.   " You'd care." Bokuto looked down onto the bed.

" Bokuto! Of course, I care! That's nonsense!"

"Really?"

"Do you really need me to say it again?" 

Bokuto smiled pleasantly. He signaled his hand for Akaashi to come and so Akaashi did. They sat there watching the film - actually - Bokuto watched the film, Akaashi watched Bokuto as his eyes beamed at every action scene and watched as his eyes narrowed in confusion, misunderstanding the situation. Akaashi would always have to explain it to him. " I know what happened you don't need to explain!" Bokuto would always bounce back. Akaashi would chuckle slightly at this, now confident in laughing in front of Bokuto who's eyes would do that thing when it beamed at the sight of Akaashi's laugh. 

"Wow! I didn't think I'd see that again." Bokuto would say. 

Akaashi wouldn't say anything usually, until this time." You say that every time." Akaashi shot back with a smile.

" And every time it's special." Akaashi blushed and felt his cheeks heat up.

One hour into the film Akaashi fell asleep. One hour later, he woke up." Wha-?" Akaashi groaned. He looked to the side and saw Bokuto and his heart flutter. " You fell asleep. you've been out for about an hour."

Deja vu. 

" I'm sorry." 

" Why? It's your house, after all. You can sleep whenever you like."

" Not if I have a visitor over."

" It's not as if I'm just some visitor. I'm your friend! Best friend if I take a stretch that far!"

" You are my best...friend." Friend of course. What else would we be...

" Aw! Agaaasshiii!" Bokuto had the largest grin on his face that stretched from ear to ear. Akaashi smiled slightly at this, though it was barely there, Bokuto noticed it. But what Akaashi noticed forced his smile to fall slowly transforming into a frown as he noticed Bokuto's tired bags around his eyes. "Bokuto, you- we should probably try to get to sleep while you can." 

" What do you mean 'while you can?'" 

"Nothing. come on."

"Akaashi, it's not that easy having ins-"

"Try."

"Kaashhiii!"

"For me?" 

" I didn't realize me being awake was too much for you." Akaashi twisted his mouth 

" No, I'm sorry I ju-"

"I'm just kidding! Haha! Nice to know you care 'bout me though!" Akaashi rolled his eyes.
