QUICK NOTE: This is literally just "trying to have plot in smut" so yeah the plot is prettt messy + might seem just overly obvious and screams "fUCK EACH OTHER ALREADY" so yeah. Also they're in highschool. Skip this if you dont want to cringe a few times gah.

Akaashi Keiji was someone you considered your best friend. Well, your best guy friend, at the least; Considering your female friends might just choke you if they heard from someone that you apparently prioritized him over them.
However, you simply couldn't help yourself from being drawed to him; Ever since you entered Fukurodani Academy in your, as well as his, first year. He was just so, natural. Nothing about him seemed forced or fake, and the first time you talked to him, a wave of calm splashed into your body.
The introductions weren't awkward, rather blunt and polite if anything. The two of you had both exchanged names, sat beside each other in class, and proceeded to talk normally.
He was straightforward, and honest; And perhaps those admirable traits of his became of the reasons why your cute and innocent crush on him bloomed into something more foreign; Actual, true love. You've never experienced it before, so at first, you were confused.
You've always thought Akaashi was kind of attractive. What, with his messy black hair that was soft to touch, and those piercing yet enchanting eyes. You never did know what color they were. Were they black or grey or a dark brown? As soon as you leaned in close enough to look properly, you would be reduced into a flustered, red stained cheeks state with his hot breath against your face and his lips an inch or so away from yours.
He was rather fit too, thanks to the intense work outs and trainings courtesy of the volleyball club. You've seen how hard he, as well as the rest of the team would train; The sweat and all that. And you admit to yourself, you would probably like to see the results of that training to his body.
Okay, so perhaps you found him extremely gorgeous. But surely that wouldn't be enough to cause such a loud and fast thumping in your heart. No, this love was so sudden and unexpected. You were both second years and all he did was greet you a good morning, yet your heart was already a beating drum.
You asked one of your female friends what it could have meant. "Every time I see him, my heart rate just goes up so fast.. I don't understand." She laughed at your obliviousness, or was it some kind of denial you had, she didn't know. "What do you think of him? Is he attractive to you? What else is there to him that you like?" Explaining your situation, she laughed, and smacked one of her beloved mangas at your face. "That'll give you the answers."
That night, not only did you start to ship the male and female protagonist so hard, but you figured it all out.
The reason to your fast heart beat. "It's not just a crush anymore, huh." You groaned into your pillow. "I'm in love with Akaashi Keiji, my best friend, great."
You really should have expected it coming. After all, those romantic comedies and cliche love stories have this trope where in the main character figure out that they have been slowly falling in love with their best friend and that they are the one meant for them.
And in this story, you are that main character. "How am I even going to face him now?"
---
It's the present time, and over the past few months, your feelings for Akaashi have not decreased by even an inch. In fact, your feelings have gone and bloomed into beautiful flowers. You're still in love with him; And the so called casual, accidental actions he did around you were not helping your situation.
