We decided to start working as soon as possible, which meant right after class at the café where we got our coffee's this morning.
As we were walking there Kenma joined us eyeing the man I knew was now named Bokuto.
"Who's this 'Kaashi?"
"Oh this is Bokuto Koutaro, we'll be working together for a project at the café."
"Oh ok, I still have something to do so I'll be going home, ok?"
"Yeah no problem I'll be back in about- how much free time do you have?", I turned to him hoping i could be in his presence as long as possible. He checked the time I knew that it was around 12:20AM.
"Roughly 2 and a half hours.", I guess that's enough time for us to get to know each other but also work.
"Then I'll be back around 3PM. And if you're going to film something put up your note on the door as always.", I was talking to Kenma again.
I didn't want relive his rage when I came into his room while he was filming. Lots of people thought we were a couple and it really annoyed him, though I get it.
"Yeah don't worry."
"Then see you later.", we waved at each other and then we were on our way to the café.
At the café (again)
You look inside and turn to the door
We got ourselves a few pastries and as usual I got myself a black coffee while Bokuto got himself a tea.
"Wow how can you drink that?", he asked me after we sat down.
"It's nice and bitter I don't like things that are overly sweet so the bitterness is nice."
"Oh, I'm the completely different I like sweet things a lot and can't handle bitterness in black coffee."
I chuckled a bit it scared me a bit how easily he made me feel comfortable though I managed to cover it quickly. I didn't want him to be put off by my smile. He easily changed the topic.
"You don't have to tell me but I'm pretty sure your friend is called Kenma, isn't that a very famous YouTuber?"
"Yeah, he's my best friend and roommate. We've known each other since high school.", I made sure that he knew that I'm not taken.
"I think I mentioned Kuroo he's kind of my roommate. We've also known each other since high school."
"Kinda?"
"He's at apartment so often and sleeps over that he's basically living with me."
I smiled a bit, again I managed to cover it with my hand.
"Again, stop doing that.", I was taken aback by his forcefulness.
"What? What am I doing again?", what did I do? I was scared I wanted Bokuto to like me.
"Covering your smile with your hand. Stop doing that I bet your smile is gorgeous.", I'm pretty sure I blushed a bit.
"People tell me I smile too much so I try not to smile but sometimes I forget to do so and then I cover it with my hand.", I'm so ashamed of myself.
"Whoever said that must be blind."
That got a smile out of me, he's so nice, could you call this flirting? This time I decided to not cover it with my hand.
"That's way better! Why don't we get started on the project?"
"Yeah let's start."
It's now shortly before 3PM but I don't want to leave his presence, I feel so at home and happy when he's there.
"Oh look at the time! It flew by, you have to go now right?"
"Yeah, I already have my bag so I'm not in a rush to get to practice."
"Practice?"
"Yes I'm the wing spiker of our volleyball team."
"Oh that's why I was so sure I've seen you before! I sometimes come to watch you practice or play against other teams."
"Really?!", oh no, I just outed myself.
"Yeah, if it's ok with your team I'd like to watch you guys closer, it's easier to analyze everything."
"Oh so do you play volleyball too?"
"Yes I was the setter in my high school team. I'm not good enough to be a professional player, but I've always wanted to study literature anyways.", this was true.
"Sure you can come watch us, let's go!"
"Ok I'll call Kenma while we're going to the gym."
"Oh yeah I need to call Kuroo too."
Drag your feet along the floor
That's how I ended up at the gym and I was glad they didn't mind me watching them on the sidelines.
I saw Bokuto coming over to me after they stretched.
"Come set a few balls for me!"
"Me? I'm not on the team and I'm not good enough."
"We're short one person today, just a few really!"
"Ok.", I was a bit hesitant to come onto the court.
He gave me his spare gym clothes. He's not that much bigger than me so his clothes fit just fine.
I went onto the court and into position.
"Are you not going to stretch?", he sounded surprised.
"I'll be fine maybe a bit rusty but I should be fine."
"Okay then.", he threw the ball to me as I jumped up to set it up for him to spike it down. He was already there in position and spiked it down on the other side of the court.
"That was great 'Kaashi! Next one!"
I ended up setting more than 'just a few' balls for Bokuto, but I'm not mad I enjoyed myself even if I am a bit tired.
"Practice is over guys! Thank you Akaashi-san for setting for Bokuto over there, I know he can be a handful sometimes so I really appreciate you setting for him!"
The praise was a bit much so I denied it: "No no, Bokuto was just fine. I'm glad I got to play again, I'm happy to have setted for him.", out of politeness I also bowed a bit.
We cleaned up, changed and the gentlemen he is he ended up walking me back to my shared apartment.
"I'll see you then Akaashi.", he told me somehow still having loads of energy as we arrived at my doorstep.
"Ah wait!", I gave him my phone so he could write contact info into it. He quickly did and bid me farewell.
"Good night 'Kaashi. See you next Tuesday.", his nickname for me which Kenma also used made my heart flutter a bit.
"Can we maybe meet up before that?", why am I so shy? I cursed myself mentally.
"You would want to?", there was a bit of hope in his voice.
"Yeah I enjoyed you company so maybe at the café to work on the project again and just hang out?"
"Yeah I'd be delighted. Goodnight."
"Goodnight.", I closed the door and the rest you already know.
