Criss- Crossed Love Affair (BokuAka)

Chapter 49

"I really hope it's not like that, Kōtarō"

"I assure you, it's not like that, Dad... We are just friends.. close friends... and he is my tutor so we spend lots of time together... that's it... nothing more...Besides, he's smart and responsible, why would you think that?." I confidently said as the sweat is forming in my forehead.

I swallow the lump in my throat and continued eating dinner.

"Well, I guess you have some right reasons after all. Akaashi is a decent and reasonable person..." he responded monotonously.

He is acknowledging other people... But he never did that to me.... Am I getting jealous? insecure? Why is he like this?

Akaashi and I continued hanging out together... Oftentimes, we spend the night at Noya and Asahi's house. We sometimes have study sessions at their house, too..

Some of our few friends come as well. Atsumu usually brings Sakusa over. Since Sakusa is a friend of Asahi, he started to feel comfortable with us.

It is also a wonderful circle of friends. Daichi and Sugawara oftentimes scold Kuroo for causing troubles during our get together. It's refreshing actually having mature people in the group.

However.....

I never mention to anyone what my father said that day...

I don't want to pressure and discourage Akaashi about our relationship..

I love him... I love him so much, that I couldn't bear to lose him....

"Are you okay, Bokuto-san?"

Every time he would ask me, I'll just say I am fine. But deep down, I am having my doubts... not about my feelings but my relationship with my own father.

"Hey, Bokuto-san" Noya whispered to me as we reviewing some lessons.

I looked at him.
"Yes?"

"Do you have a moment?" he stood and lead the way to the porch

I followed him. There, I saw Suga and Daichi.
"So, how's the plan?" Daichi asked

"It's well- prepared already..." I replied loudly.

They hush me down.

"That's good... We know, you're getting nervous, Bo... But, we will do our best, okay?" Suga said as he softly smiled.

"Well, we already contacted the-" Noya stopped as soon as he saw Akaashi walking out of the house.

"What's going on? It's cold here... Oh hi, Sugawara- san, Daichi-san.. What time did you arrive?"

We looked at him.. Did he hear anything?

"Is there something on my face? Are you talking about something I shouldn't hear?" Akaashi asked

"No, Akaashi... Noya... and Bokuto are just kind enough to welcome us..." Daichi said nervously.

I gulped.

"Ohhh.. okay... Anyways... It's better to talk inside, the December breeze may bring colds you know..." Akaashi said worriedly.

December, ha... I hope everything works according to plan....
