Two weeks later, winter break finally approaches. You're about to have the whole week off of school, and you're probably going to spend most of your time working at the diner with Bokuto. Not that you mind. You quite enjoy being there. And Kenji does, too, now that he and Akaashi both have actual jobs there together.
On Sunday, you approach Bokuto with some good news. Since you have the whole week off, you'll be staying at your house for the week. And you finally have the whole house to yourself.
"Hey," you smile as you walk into the kitchen with an order from one of the last tables of the night. "Got a sec?"
"Are you really asking me that while giving me an order?" he chuckles, accepting the paper and reading it over quickly.
"It'll be quick, I promise."
"You two need a minute?" Al asks, turning around.
Bokuto smiles sheepishly at the old man who he considers family. "Only if you don't mind..."
"Nah. I gotta take a mean piss anyway. I've been holdin' it in for a good hour. Gives me an excuse to go," he shrugs before walking out without noticing how Bokuto's jaw hangs on the ground.
"So, uh, what's going on?" he then asks after collecting himself.
"I wanted to ask if you'd stay with me for winter break. My dad is god only knows where and my mom said she's going to be staying at her girlfriend's house for a little while," you smile.
"So you're inviting me to stay at your empty house instead of staying at my empty house which is right next door..."
"My mom just went shopping and the fridge is full," you smile.
"You're pretty good at negotiating," Bokuto hums as he wraps his arms around your waist. "Consider me in."
With a smile, Bokuto kisses you softly. Your eyes flutter close at his gentle touch, sinking into the moment. Well, until Al comes back and makes his presence known by clearing his throat loudly and saying "I'm going to walk in now! There better not be any shenanigans going on back there! This is a business you know!"
"We know, Al," Bokuto replies, smiling down at you and rolling his eyes teasingly. "It's safe to come back."
"Mind if I head back a bit early tonight?" you then ask him. "I just wanted to get a few things from my dorm super quick. Then I'll meet you at my house if that's okay."
"Sure, just be careful. Al told me before that it's going to snow."
Later that night, after pulling a few things together from your dorm, you drive over to your house. You make sure to drive carefully, snow is starting to fall for the first time this winter. And when you arrive, you pull your car into your empty driveway. Then, just as you're about to get out of the car, you notice Bokuto approaching from his front yard.
"Hey," he waves with one hand, seeming to be carrying something heavy in a plastic bag in the other hand.
"Hey," you smile back. "What've you got there?"
"Essentials," he replies vaguely as he holds up the bag.
"Essentials? Mhm, okay. You know it's snowing, right? What're you doing standing out here in the cold?" you chuckle.
"You happened to be driving past just when I looked out the window so I grabbed my bag and came out," he answers with a shrug.
"Okay, well can we talk inside? It's cold and I still want to know what's in the bag."
Bokuto agrees and follows you into your house. "Hello!" you call out, just in case of the off-chance that maybe your dad is back from wherever he's been. However, nobody answers your call.
After you take off your shoes, Bokuto makes his way into the kitchen. You watch carefully as he sets down the bag on the table and takes a step away from it.
"Since you're so curious," he grins, pointing to the back, "Look."
With a smile, you approach the bag and pull the sides down to see what's inside- two white styrofoam boxes. Gently, you pick up one of the boxes and place it down on the table. And when you open it, you see a slightly messy hamburger inside.
"Did you make these?" you ask him while trying not to foam at the mouth. "God, they look so good."
"After you left, yeah. I figured since I was in a kitchen I'd make us some dinner. Are you hungry?"
"Starving!" you answer as you pass the hamburger in his direction. "Here, you take this one I'll grab the other."
Bokuto smiles to himself as he sits down. However, you hardly even notice the look of happiness on his face as you devour your food.
Once it's all said and done- which pretty much happened in the blink of an eye- you quickly clean up your things and make your way over to the couch.
Bokuto wraps his arm around you and you lean your head against his shoulder. Together, you both look out at the window, the snow softly falling down.
"I heard we're going to get a snowstorm," Bokuto thinks aloud as he stares off into nowhere.
"Hm, maybe we'll get stuck here overnight," you chuckle, knowing full well you have no intentions of leaving either way. After all, you do have the week off from school.
"I don't think I'd complain if that happens," he answers, nodding while side-hugging you closer to him. "Especially since I've got you here."
