Criss- Crossed Love Affair (BokuAka)

Slowly Moving Forward

I went back to my apartment just to see Asahi and Noya panicking their heart's out.

Noya run towards me knocking us down to the floor. He is rubbing his face into my sweater while saying

"Akkkkkaaaaassshhhhiiii!!! Where on Earth have you been!!!! We've been looking for you like everywhere!"

Asahi helped us get up but we can't.. We just stayed on the floor for a while .

I looked at Noya. Seeing him like a little child tickles my thought.

Asahi's POV
Both, Noya and I, are so shocked as we saw Akaashi started laughing.

What on Earth happened to him when he was outside?!

"Noya, you looked like a child, come on, let me help you wipe those dirt on you ..." Akaashi said as he brush dirts from Noya..

He keeps on laughing while tears are flowing down.

"Akaashi, are you okay?" Noya asked as they both stand.

"Yeah, kind of... I wish to see Kenma so I went there, but I decided to just go back. I want his happiness, too. I shouldn't be selfish because I love him .... I still do..." Akaashi smiled brightly.

This is the first time... we have seen him smile so genuine after their break up.

"Let's start preparing for school, Noya, Asahi?"

Akaashi's POV

This is the first time, I felt good after our break up... What runs inside my head is simple.. Kenma's happiness would always be my priority ...

So even if I wasn't part of it, I would love to see him living happily.

Everything's fine... until we saw the message in my locker.

"You and your boyfriend broke up? Ohh, I think you deserve that."

Noya almost punch my locker but I stopped him. I grabbed the paper and crumpled it.

This person... is mocking me... but I won't give in to him/ her... I'll soon find out whoever he/she is..

I breathe and exhaled.
"Noya, let's go upstairs... Let's not bother ourselves with this shit..."

Today, everyone is busy for the upcoming festival on Friday. Kenma is absent again... I hope he's okay...

The day ended with a bang.... (like literally)

"KEIJI AKAASHI!!!! GO ON A DATE WITH ME!!!!!"

I blinked multiple times as I stare at Atsumu Miya in front of me.

Noya is busy practicing for their coming game so I am alone here dealing with Atsumu ...

"I... What?"

"Keiji... I like-" he fell into the ground as Osamu kicked his back.

"You IDIOT! Akaashi, I am sorry for this idiot ...."

Osamu kept on kicking Atsumu in the ground. Atsumu is laughing slightly trying to stop his brother..

"You scumbag!!!!" Osamu said as he is being held by Suna who is trying to hold his laughter...

I couldn't help it... I started to giggle and laugh and they looked at me with shock on their faces.

"Akaashi, you okay?" Osamu came closer to me .

I wipe the tears forming in my eyes due to too much laughter...

"HEY!!! FOXY!!! WHY DO YOU MAKE AKAASHI CRY!?!?" Noya said approaching us. He stand in between me and Osamu and glared at him

"You are mistaking me, Noya... I'm not Atsumu!"

"Ohhh... right..." He faced Atsumu this time.

"FOXY!"

"SHORTY!"

"FOXY!"

"SHORTY!"

"WILL YOU SHUT IT!!!!!" Osamu smacked Atsumu's head .

"Hey... Why hit me, Samu?"

"You're noisy!"

"Bleeh..." Noya teased.

"What are you Kindergarten?" Suna commented.

"Bleeh.." Noya and Atsumu responded together.

"You two got the same braincell, don't you?" Suna commented...

"Don't compare me to him!" Noya and Atsumu said together while pointing each other.

"You seems to be more compatible as twins.. You're both idiots" Osamu said

They started laughing.

"I..." I stuttered...

"I just want to say thank you!"

They stopped laughing and smiled at me.

"Thank you for cheering me up..." I continued.

"Thank you for the jokes and the laughter..." I bowed my head

"BUT... AKAASHI, I AM NOT JOKING! WILL YOU PLEASE BE MY DATE ON FRIDAY?!"

I smirked.
"I am sorry, Atsumu... It is so sudden, and I am not ready for another commitment just yet..."

Atsumu pouted.

"But we can all hang out together, if you like..."

"That will be the best option, right Samu?" Suna agreed.

"Right!" Osamu replied

"Let's do our best in the festival!!!" Noya exclaimed.

"OH YEAH!" We all shouted in chorus.

I haven't moved on yet, but this is better than sulking and letting Kenma feel bad about our break up. I have to stand on my own and show him that what he did is for both of us- for our own happiness.

I loved you, Kenma... You'll always be part of the story I will always tell as I slowly move forward.
