Prying much?

You were eager for the school week to come to an end. To pass the time, you kept yourself occupied and when your teacher asked for someone to maintain the school register, you volunteered. However, the task turned out to be more difficult than expected. You spent your entire lunch break in the computer lab organizing and reorganizing the data. Your teacher was not satisfied with your work and asked you to redo it multiple times, causing you to feel frustrated and on the brink of tears. It took at least five attempts before she finally accepted your work.

"Thank you Y/n who knew you'd be such a lifesaver. Do you want something to eat?", she asked.

"Thanks, I'd like some coffee", you replied.

She handed you some money and asked you to buy something to eat along with coffee. You bought dark chocolate and a can of cold coffee. Even though lunch break was over you sat on the stairs and ate your lunch before going to class. Akashi was coming upstairs after practice. Upon seeing you he asked, "Is that supposed to be your lunch?" 

 "Yeah," you replied in an awkward tone. Akashi sat next to you on the stairs. He was awfully close but you didn't complain. "Do you want some?", you asked waving the bar of chocolate around his face. His eyes followed the chocolate's movement. He suddenly grabbed your wrist and took a bite from the bar. The cracking sound of the chocolate filled the silence. He left your wrist and looked away to hide his blush. His grip left a red rim around your wrist like the ones you get from wearing a rubber band. You were astonished not because of his blush but at the size of the bite he took. You weren't expecting him to take such a huge chunk. 

"Hey! How could you? this is all I got for lunch", you cried. Akashi was still chewing with his face turned away from you. You grabbed his shoulder and kept shaking him back and forth to make him turn towards you. You kept on repeating, "HOW COULD YOU?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?".

He swallowed the gulp and turned to you. His eyes were still glued to the floor. "Sorry", he apologised softly, "You shouldn't have tempted me. I'm an athlete I haven't had chocolate for ages."

"I said it just for formality plus you took such a huge bite", you cried.

"Well if I'm about to cheat on my diet might as well do it  properly." 

"You owe me one now", you demanded. 

"Fine but then you owe me one for the time I brought you groceries" Akashi replied.  

"call it even?"

"no way!" he exclaimed

"fine" you signed.

"Do you always practice during lunch break?", you ask him with genuine curiosity.

"No, of course not but I do have to train the first-years and the inter-high tournament is around the corner ", he replied.

"Oh it must be stressful"

"No, my team is strong. We know we'll win" he casually stated.

You weren't surprised at his confidence after all he is the best basketball player in Japan in high school level. "I'll come to Tokyo to see you win at the finals then," you pouted. 

"We could go together",  Akashi suggested.

"Yeah, it'll be like our little summer trip, just the two of us" You didn't realise what you had just said. "I mean there will be other people too"  You started panicking and stood up, your face steaming red. Akashi stood up too. He held your hand and started walking ahead of you with his head down. You could see a slight blush form on his cheeks 

"Let's go back to class. We can't miss the whole period," he said looking at you with a gentle gaze. 

 You liked holding his hand even though his fingers were mostly covered in bandaids and his palm had a rough texture to it. You could feel every scrape every cuticle on his palm it told his journey of becoming the best.
