Criss- Crossed Love Affair (BokuAka)

Chapter 41

I saw him sitting in the porch of the house. He's staring at the starry sky and I assumed he didn't noticed me as I sat down beside him.

"Akaashi... Hey..." I called him as I looked at the sky, too.

"You know... the sky right now... is like your eyes... It's full of wonder, full of untold stories..." I continued without looking at him.

"I would want to be a listener to those stories, Kaashi..."

I closed my eyes and exhaled. He may not prefer to listen to me right now... but I want him to feel that I am here...

"Kaashi... There will always be no doubt in my mind or in my heart, that I... I love you..."

"Then... why?" he asked as he turned his body towards me.
"Why wouldn't you want anyone to know about us? What are we anyway?"

I faced him and smile a little.
"We are... lovers... But, I want to keep it private for now..."

"Are you.. ashamed of... dating someone.. like.. me?"

"Honestly, no... I am actually thrilled and happy... Really happy.  But let me just prove to you my worth, okay?"

"What do you mean by that, Bokuto-san?"

"Just wait for it, alright? Will you be willing to wait until the right moment?" I asked him

"Bokuto-san.. I don't really get it.. But if I have to wait forever, then, forever's gonna give up first before I do ." he looked at the grassy garden as he relaxed his shoulders.

"Please, I don't want seeing you this upset...Kaashi..."

He gazed at me and curved his lips a little. He's expression isn't satisfied with my answers but he is trying to understand me....

I held his left hand, and intertwined our fingers. I leaned closer....and...

"Ahem...."
"Someone have forgotten to tell Akaashi, that we are waiting..." is that Suga?

I froze and leaned back. Akaashi giggled and cover his mouth to suppress his laughter.

I slowly turned my head to the door to see Sugawara with his hands on his hips while his right foot is tapping the floorings.

I grinned while scratching the back of my head.

"COME ON! WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG, SUGAWARA-SAN!?! I'M STARVING HERE!!!!" yelled Noya as he peeked behind Suga.

"The food is getting cold... Let's go.. This kid needs to eat already.. Come on Noya... Hurry up and get your asses here!" Suga commanded as he dragged Noya back inside the house.

Probably, Suga would be a strict Mom.. I could really imagine that.

Akaashi stood up.
"I don't really get what you mean, Bokuto-san... But I will always trust you... So... I will try my best to understand you...."

He offered his hand and I took it. As I stood, I pulled him closer for a hug. He embraced me back.

"Let's get inside... Noya is a little monster when he's hungry.." he whispered into my ear.

M... Mon.. Mons.. Monster? I shivered.
The idea of Noya being a monster gave me goosebumps.. My imagination runs wild... A monster!?!?!

"Hey, Bokuto-san... I'm kidding..."

"Hah?"

"Come on, let's grab dinner with the others...."

"Right"

I smiled as I looked at my Akaashi..

"I love you, Akaashi."
He looked at me and whispered "I'll always love you, Bokuto-san" and we entered the house to celebrate the engagement of Suga and Daichi.
