" Thus, the kaleidoscope has taken on a new meaning for me. It represents the initiative we all must take to sustain beauty in our lives and land in the right place, as life continues to change and we are continuously challenged."
" What do you know...
Y/n's childhood friend, Bokuto came to her, running, eagerly wanted to show her what he has found. Y/n have known Bokuto for a long time since her first year in Elementary school. Living together as a neighbour, she and Bokuto shared a mutual feeling of wanting to protect and being there for each other. Bokuto was like an older brother to her since he is one year older.
" What is it, Kou? " she stood up from her seat and accepted what Bokuto held out to her. " Eh? A cylinder? " she inspected the small cylindrical instrument, about the size of her palm..
" It's a kaleidoscope!" he exclaimed.
Kaleidoscope is interesting. It is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces tilted to each other at an angle, so that one or more objects on one end of the mirrors are seen as a regular symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to repeated reflection.
Y/n closed one eye and looked inside it. She saw a beautiful reflection of colors projected into her iris.

But, for some reason she started to feel a little dizzy which she decide to stop looking into it. Trying to shake away the dizziness, she blinked her eyes for a few times.
" It's pretty, right? " Bokuto tilted his head to see her reaction. She nodded.
" I wonder if we can find more... " his eyes started to scan around the river bank again. " I found it by the river. It was shining and I can't help but-- " Bokuto didn't managed to finish his words when he was cut off by her giggle. Somehow, her smile brings happiness to him. " Why are you laughing~? " he whined and made his usual puppy eyes at her.
" Do you really need to pick up everything you see pretty, Kou? " she raised an eyebrow.
" Well, there's nothing's wrong to pick up something that you can still use it."
" Kou, come on! You're 16 already! " she laughed and ruffled his hair making him flustered for a while. Well, that was her first time seeing him blushing. " Oh. My God. Are you blushing? You're definitely blushing! " she teased him by poking his red cheeks.
He pouted. " I am not! I just feel embarassed that you pointed out I'm already-- " he paused. His eyes went comedically wide. "WAIT! I'm 16?!"
Y/n can't help but to laugh her heart out after she saw his expressions. " Kou, oh my god, did you really forget that you're old? " she let out a hearty chuckle. Bokuto joined in, then he sighed. His eyes were glued to the beautiful pale-tint of orange sky.
" How time flies. How long have we known each other, y/n? " he turned his gaze towards her. Both of them locked eyes for a few moment before she smiled to him genuinely. Reminding the old days where she first met him.
" Almost 7 years. " she shrugged. He nodded without saying a word. " Sometimes, I'm afraid what future holds for us." She unintentionally speak out her mind. Bokuto once again turned his gaze towards her and smiled. He placed his hands on her shoulders, making her turn around to face him. She tilted up her head and witnessed that very smile she's been seeing for the whole 7 years of friendship.
" Don't be afraid of the future, y/n! Remember our promise? Whatever-- "
" Whatever happens, I will be by your side. Forever. " she giggled after she cut him off by finishing his lines. Bokuto dazed for a moment before letting out a laugh, tapping on her shoulders satisfyingly.
" There, you really got that. Haha. " he then slides his arm around her shoulder pulling her closer to him as they watched the beautiful sunset in peace.
" Do you really mean it, Kou? " she mumbled but loud enough for Bokuto to hear it. He pulled away a little to take a good look at her, with his eyebrow raised.
" Of course, I do. No matter what happens, I will never let you feel sad. " he flashed a smile at her, bright and encouraging. Yeah, she saw that many times. He surely never let her down. Y/n raised her pinky finger to him.
" Promise? "
"Promise. " He intertwined his pinky finger with hers, without hesitation.
'A promise is a commitment by someone to do or not do something.'
For this chapter, y/n has not meet with Akaashi yet. She has been friends with Bokuto for almost 7 years and they are already comfy with each other. I won't give spoilers for what happens next tehee xD
But in the next chapter, y/n will meet Akaashi since y/n will be entering her first year of highschool in Fukurodani Academy. Ah, before I forget, starting from this chapter and so on, I will be writing y/n as a first year along with Akaashi. Which means, in this timeline, Bokuto is a second-year. Yes, I will def mention the progress of the timeline.
I will try my best to write a good story. Please feel free to comment or give ideas so I can upgrade my writing skills.
