Kenma was going towards the place Akaashi sent him in a fast peace, he knew something wasn't adding up with his close friend behaviour but he couldn't point out a reason for this, however Kozume was done with acting that everything was alright so he would ask his friend what is wrong with him today.
Or so he thought, yet the moment he arrived to his destination he saw his Akaashi in a curled up on the floor with broken sobs that surprised Kenma. It wasn't like his friend was emotionless or something like that but he honestly couldn't remember the last time he saw akaashi crying, nevertheless he ran to hug and comfort his friend in silence which the crying boy took as a chance to hug his fellow cat friend tightly.
They were in a comfortable position for some time; Keiji trying his best to stop crying and Kozume to calm his anxious friend down. After a while Akaashi's breath got even and clearer which Kenma took as a sign to untangle himself from his friend's now soft grip.
They sat on an uncomfortable silence until — "mhm.. could you tell me what happened? or at least what's been going on with you for a month now? and don't lie to me saying it's nothing because we both know that's not true" Kenma softly said looking at Akaashi's hesitant expressions.
"I just..don't want to tell people what's going on because i don't want to make this a big deal where people choose sides when it's actually not that deep and i'm just being dramatic about everything" Kenma just frowned at this, did his behaviour have something to do with any of their friends? "You aren't dramatic Keiji, your anxiety may make you react differently to certain situations but that doesn't make you dramatic—" "But i am Kozume! I should be more mature but here i am skipping and weeping over a boy acting distant with me? Am I serious?"
Kenma really was conflicted on how to answer him, he knew Bokuto has been acting weirdly towards the pretty setter like not answering his text for days, ignoring him completely in the last training camp to hang out with the '3rd gym squad' or acting strange mid practice and Akaashi couldn't be more done with the situation but he also couldn't bear to confront him and maybe find the reason he didn't want to find.
'I'm just not attracted to you like that 'kaashi, i'm sorry i didn't tell you before because i was afraid or your reaction"
The possibility of receiving that answer from the owl ace was an unbearable thought that made the setter panic, was Bokuto just done with him? why does this always happen to him? is he just not made to love? So many thoughts and insecurities ran through his head.
"Stop whatever you're thinking, you aren't dramatic or unlovable you just have a horrible taste in men which is not even your fault" Akaashi laughed at his best friend response because even if he didn't fully agree it was true his taste in men hasn't been exactly the best. "Okay okay no need to attack me now, let's get some food and go to your house?" "Sure if we play mario kart together.." "Fine, Kozume."
