(authors note: i cried heavily whilst making this- also, i started writing at 12:57 am, ended at 1:30 am, so sorry if it's really rushed.

-xo liv)

as the hot summer air seeped through the open windows of bokuto's room; he rolled over and slowly stirred awake. he checked the time on the electric alarm clock on his nightstand.

3:27 am.

he groaned. then he sat up, wiping a few drops of sweat from his forehead; his hair now flat and damp with sweat. the summer heat in japan was absolutely insufferable at times. and it was definitely showing right now.

he got up, stretched out his arms and legs, then put on a plain t-shirt and random hoodie to go with his baggy shorts. he decided to take a walk.

as he exited his apartment building and started walking down the sidewalk, he pulled his phone out of the pocket of his hoodie. he looked down at his lock-screen. it was a picture of him and akaashi from one of his MSBY games; akaashi was in the stands as bokuto played. when they were done playing, and won, akaashi came down from the stands and kissed bokuto. and then, bokuto proposed to akaashi; who immediately said yes; the whole crowd cheering. that was when they took the picture. that was one of his favorite and best moments.

akaashi had seen him at his best and worst, bokuto wasn't very subtle about his emotions.

back in high school, he always used to help him study for major math tests; and laugh at his dejected attitude when he got a 41%.

his laugh.

akaashi's laugh was absolutely gorgeous in bokuto's eyes. the way he would cover his smile softly, and his face would soften ever so slightly; it was like it was piercing bokuto's heart. sometimes he would even purposefully act upset just to see akaashi smile or laugh.

on their first date, they decided to hang out together and watch movies all day. bokuto was so hungry he barely even remembered the movie, just the sheer amount of popcorn he absolutely demolished.

that was the day they had their first kiss. akaashi's lips were soft and sweet. bokuto's were salty and buttery from the popcorn he was eating.

when their lips locked together, bokuto never wanted it to end. he was so happy. he always was whenever they kissed.

that night, they became officially boyfriends. akaashi spent the night. at one point, bokuto awoke at around two from a nightmare. he vividly remembered akaashi waking up to bokuto shaking and silently crying, amd singing 'Lovers grip' by Them & I to him. his voice was amazing. like waves of water crashing over the shoreline at the beach on a warm summer night; almost like tonight.

eventually, bokuto sat down in front of akaashi's grave, reverently caressing the top of his marble headstone. marble had always been akaashi's favorite stone. it was the same stone bokuto and akaashi had planned for several nights that they would put in their house together after their wedding. they had spent those many nights on pinterest; looking at designs; and laughing with eachother in pure bliss.

his laugh.

the laugh he missed more than any other sound ever.

"hey kei-kei. i just wanted to tell you that i r-really missed your laugh. and your voice."

bokuto shakily spoke to the grave in front of him, tears steadily flowing down his cheeks down to his neck and to the collar of his hoodie.

he would do anything to hear that laugh one more time.

if only the last time he heard it wasn't when akaashi sent him a voicemail mid volleyball match saying he had gotten in a small car accident and probably wouldn't make it to his match.

unfortunately, he would never make it to one of his volleyball matches ever again.

unfortunately, the doctors never caught the internal bleeding.

"alright, i-i'm going to head home now 'kaashi. i-i love you. maybe i-in another life, y-yeah?"

and unfortunately, akaashi would never be able to say 'i love you' back again.



as bokuto and kuroo walked through the home depot looking for different carpet and counter designs; colors; and patterns for bokuto's new house and complain, they accidentally bump into two people. one was facing away looking at some marble counter patterns; and they other was facing them.

"sorr- KENMAAAAA!!"

*kuroo immediately blurted out, seeming as he just spotted his boyfriend randomly.*

"shut up kuroo, it's to early for this."

*kenma says as he's playing random games on his phone. bokuto recognized kenma from the nekoma volleyball team, which kuroo played on. he also recognized him from kuroo's phone lockscreen- it was a picture of his boyfriend and him. well now, he could put a face to the name at least.*

*bokuto takes his phone, and holds it up to where kenma can't reach. the person behind him turned around due to the sound of bokuto and kuroo laughing, and kenma yelling. the boy behind kenma started to laugh.*

*that laugh.*

*akaashi's laugh.*

*it was like time froze.*

*as blue eyes met amber; they knew.*

*they found eachother.*

*when bokuto meant 'in another life', maybe, just maybe, was he correct.*
