Unexpected Spike (Bokuto x Reader)

Chapter 7

In Fukurodani High School...

The sun streamed through the windows as Bokuto walked through the hallways, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of Y/N and his sudden realization that he likes her. He hadn't told her about his feelings yet, but he was starting to notice them in every little interaction they had. Even when she smiled at him or laughed at his jokes, his heart would speed up and he found himself lost in the warmth of her presence. 

Today, though, something was different, again. As Bokuto made his way toward Y/N's locker to meet her before class, he saw a few groups of boys whispering and staring at her. Y/N didn't noticed any of them as she was busy cleaning up some stuffs in her locker. 

His eyes narrowed slightly towards the direction of the group of boys. He could see the way they were ogling her, and it didn't sit right with him. With a low growl, he straightened his posture and let a dark, intimidating aura emitted from him. The air seemed to grow heavier, and the boys' laughter faded into uneasy murmurs. 

One of the boys, gulped as Bokuto's intense gaze locked onto him. The boys' confidence wavered and their eyes darting around as if searching for an escape route. Bokuto took a step closer. 

"You guys got a problem here?" he asked, his voice cold.

The boys quickly shook their heads, some mumbling apologies, while others muttered excuses and began to back away. 

Geez, I think it's her boyfriend.

We're screwed, man.

Let's just stay away from that girl.

As they dispersed, Bokuto's attention shifted back to Y/N. He approached with a more relaxed demeanor, a warm smile replacing the intimidating glare. 

"HEY HEY HEY, Y/N!"

Y/N looked up and smiled brightly as she heard a familiar voice coming from her favorite person (crush).

"Oh, hey, Bokuto!"

Before Bokuto could continue, their conversation was interrupted by someone. 

Oh great another intruder

"Hey, Bokuto!"

It was Yumi- again. 

"Do you want to hang out with me after school today? If you don't mind" she asked, completely ignoring Y/N's presence. 

Y/N raised an eyebrow, looking a little confused by the sudden invitation and again she felt a pang of jealousy.

Bokuto's eyes widened. He felt like he was being pulled in another different directions. He could see Y/N watching him, and a split second, he noticed something. 

Was that a flash of jealousy in her eyes?

Before he could respond, Y/N spoke up.

"Actually, I think Bokuto has practice today, right?"

Bokuto blinked in surpise at the unexpected rescue-again. 

"Uh, yeah! I have practice today." he answered. 

Yumi looked slightly disappointed but masked it with a smile. "Oh, okay. Maybe another time then. But, I'll come and watch your practice! See you!" She waved cheerfully and disappeared into the crowd. 

There was an akward silence between Bokuto and Y/N as they continued walking toward their class. Bokuto rubbed the back of his neck nervously. 

"Sorry about that again. Yumi can be a bit...persistent"

Y/N shrugged, though there was a hint of tension in her voice. 

"It's fine. I just didn't know she was that interested in hanging out with you."

Before Bokuto could say anything else, they had arrived at Y/N's classroom. 

"Well, I guess I'll see you during practice" she said and walked into her class leaving Bokuto at the door. 

He wasn't sure if he was imagining things, but it almost felt like Y/N was jealous, like that one time when she spoke up to Yumi during lunch.
