prom night - bokuto x fem!reader

before thanksgiving

I made sure to wake up extra early to apply my makeup to my neck. The bruises are almost gone since I've been icing the marks every other hour. As I finished putting on my makeup, I took one more look into my vanity mirror and the marks disappeared like nothing ever happened.

"Kotaro, can you see any marks underneath? Kotaro? Wake up already!"

Bokuto was still fast asleep in my bed. I go up to him and gently shake him awake.

"Hmm? I don't want to get up. 5 more minutes."

I sigh and go downstairs to make some breakfast for myself. It's almost time to leave for school so I go back upstairs to try and wake the sleeping owl.

"We're gonna be late. Wake uppp!" I lie horizontally across his back and stretch.

"Owww my back!"

"Your back hurts again?!"

"Yes! And I have a crick in my neck too! Massage it out pleaseee?"

"Fine. Sit up first."

He sits up and goes to the edge of the bed. I go up behind him and sit on the heels of my feet. I start working on his shoulders until he asks me to try and get the crick out of his neck.

"Here?" I ask, working on the right side near his ear.

"Yeah. A little bit towards the front though."

As I'm massaging his neck I don't even realize my right hand's fingers are wrapped around his throat. He gives out a small moan and I pause.

We're both afraid to address what just happened.

"Do you have a choking kink or something?" I smirk.

"Ok I think I'm all better now! Let's go to school!" He leaves my room and takes a quick shower.

When he's all dressed he comes downstairs and bolts out the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I need the exercise! I'm walking to school."

"Just get in my car." I hand him a few of his favorite granola bars and lock the front door.

"Your aunt is coming back tonight, right?"

"Yup. I think she got a promotion at her job! She might have to start working in their building's office."

"Cool."

We make it to school and walk to our first class.

"I'm thinking about getting my car windshield fixed before Thanksgiving. Um... my mom called before I came downstairs. She wants to see how I'm doing since my dad is in prison."

"That's good isn't it?"

"I guess so. She makes the effort to send money sometimes, but after all these years, it took my dad being taken away for her to come back."

"She's staying for good?"

"I don't think so. She probably feels guilty that I don't really have close family here anymore."

"Well, you have us now, so there's no need to worry when she comes." I say, grabbing his hand.

He intertwines our fingers and a soft smile plays on our lips.

"We can invite her to dinner and have a normal holiday."

Bokuto scoffs, "Or as normal as it can get."

I roll my eyes and release my hand. We go to class and the rest of the day is pretty chill and normal.
