1st Encounter.
The first time you saw him was when you and Atsushi were walking on your first day at middle school discussing which clubs to join.
"You should join the Gardening club." You suggested, putting a hand over your mouth to stop yourself from giggling.
Just imagining the violet haired giant wearing a green apron while holding a tiny shovel and a watering can on both hands with his deadpan expression was enough to sent you into fits of laughter.
"Why __chin? Are you joining that club?" He asked as he chewed his snack. He wouldnt even think twice of doing just that if you were planning to join that club and ask him to come.
"Nope." You answered skipping as you walked beside him. The petals of the cherry blossoms floated around due to the soothing wind of warm spring.
Noticing this you smiled to yourself and imagined that you will meet your destined one under the blessing of the cherry blossoms. The wind will sent the pink petals in every direction as you let your [hair color] hair flow in the wind. He would approach you and tuck your hair behind your ear under the pretense of removing a rogue petal that has stuck itself on your hair. He will put it in your palm and...
Of course you really didnt imagine that because that would be too cheesy. Instead you had another scene inside your mind.
"Senbonsakura... SCATTER." You couldnt help yourself as you stood in front the gates of the school and posed as if you were holding Byakuya's katana.
Murasakibara obliged and fanned the cherry blossoms to your directions creating the effect. Other passing students looked at the two of you as if youve both lost it completely.
Just as you finished your little episode you glanced at your left side. Akashi's red hair was hard to miss so you couldnt help but stare at him as you walked. He got off on a fancy car talking with his chaffeur.
He asked not to be taken to school anymore saying. "Let school at least be somewhere i have freedom."
It was a shock to your years of living in the human world. Never. I mean NEVER had you considered school that way. You always saw school as a torture penitentiary where adults have an excuse to drain and suck the life force of any student. Specially Math Class.
Math class is the door to hell.
Just what sort of life is he leading to think that school is a place for his freedom? You cant even begin to imagine that as you looked at him with sympathy. When you did that your eyes met for a mere second.
"This is too troublesome." Murasakibara said as people from the volleyball club crowded him. He turned to look down at you and asked "What do you think __chin?"
You were snapped away from your thoughts and gave your friend a shrug. You then noticed the cherry blossoms on his hair so you tiptoed and dusted it off.

2nd Encounter
You never felt luckier to be friends with a titan.
Atsushi Murasakibara who just happens to be your personal titan (you swear the guy is gonna turn into a titan if he doesnt stop growing) slash childhood friend is in the same club as Akashi. Ever since you saw that peculiar red hair you couldnt help but be mystified by him. There was something with the guy and you could smell it from miles away.
You're fond of weird things and somehow found him weird so you ended up observing him whenever you can.
When you had convinced your friend to join the Basketball Club you were more than ecstatic, specially when he was included in the first string.
