•akaashi keiji 🌎

  everyone loved your personality - loud and cheerful, and a little mischief. you were really mischievous and energetic, and somehow you would always get away with all the pranks you did to others.

  not to mention you were bokuto's cousin, that great horned owl. like him, you had dyed your hair silver because you thought it was cool, and it turned out really well. also, you had those moods bokuto had now and then. but unlike him, you are smart.

  that day when you enrolled into fukurodani, bokuto introduced you to his friend - akaashi keiji. it was then you realized he was the one you wanted. the pretty setter, his hair, his eyes, his lips. every feature and small detail of him, was something that you loved. he is a masterpiece.

  ever since then, you have been obsessing over him. you would walk to school with him, ditching bokuto halfway because you dragged akaashi to the ice cream shop. you spent lunchtime with him and walked home with him, and ditching bokuto again.

  you joined the girls' volleyball team as a libero, and would often pester bokuto to spike at you, which you could receive almost every ball perfectly.

-

  "hey, [first name]!" bokuto barged into your room, startling you and you quickly shut your laptop, your heart pounding against your chest.

  "knock before you come in, bakato!" you growled and jumped up to bonk his head. he clutched his head and pouted as you deflated his hair.

  "sorry, sorry! i wanted to ask you, if you have any crushes?" you froze at the question and millions of thoughts ran through your mind.

  was I being too obvious? did they find out? what??????

  you shook my head and pushed him out of the door, him yelling some question related to akaashi and some of his team mates behind the shut door.

  you could not even explain how flustered you felt right now, your eyes were wide and blinked in confusion. what's with this topic anyway.

-

  it was one of the days when you would pester bokuto to spike some balls to you. he did, but today he was spiking extra hard. the ball left bruises on your arms but you still continued anyway. it was when akaashi came then he spiked the ball really hard, sending it flying towards your face and hitting you.

  you fell on your bottom immediately, and you lay on the floor, panting. bokuto was so shocked and the ball landed on his head, the ball bouncing away and rolling off afterwards.

  he gasped dramatically and ran towards you, his arms flailing everywhere. akaashi soon sprinted towards you, kneeling down beside you and stared at you with worry written on his pretty face.

  "[f-f-first name]!? are you alive!? damn it! i'm so sorry!" the ace yelled in apology, and you opened one eye, the first thing you saw was the setter, his eyes staring deep into yours.

  "i'm fine," you sat up and began walking away, leaving a dumbfounded bokuto wondering how could you play it cool so well.

  "i'll bring her to the sickbay, you guys continue practicing," akaashi simply said before running out of the gym, finding for you.

  then there you are, sitting on the green grass with tissues, wiping off the blood that was oozing out from your nose profusely.

  seeing the raven haired boy walking towards you, you tensed and kept your eyes on the grass, still applying pressure on your nose.

  "i think you should go to the sickbay, let's go?" he offered and i gave him a nod, feeling my heart thumping from all these feelings for him.

  "you should really stop working so hard you know, look at you now, you're having a nosebleed," he sighed and you nervously chuckled, feeling your face heating up.

  "this is the time when I should really do it," you muttered after a minute of silence.

  "did you say something?" akaashi looked at you in confusion before you pulled him down to your eye level.

  there's no turning back now.

  "you know, keiji, you're the best human being on the earth. like seriously. have you ever looked in the mirror and just go like 'since when did i hang a masterpiece here'? you're so pretty, it hurts. every time i look at you i just have this feeling, like i want to be with you forever. i like you, that's all, bye!" you quickly rambled before dashing off, your face in a deep shade of red.

  "i regretted that," you grunted and pout your lips, mentally strangling yourself for that cheesy and lame confession.

  sitting by the gym doors, you fiddled with your shoe laces before bokuto came out and sat with you. "hey, hey, hey! how did that go?" he asked childishly, a little too excited.

  "man, i fucked up," you simply answered and buried your face in your hands, wanting to dig a hole and die right there.

  "oh? did he reject you?" he slung his hand over your shoulder, and you swatted it away before shrugging.

  "i didn't even give him time to reject me, i just ran away." the owl's eyes seemed to have a flash of sympathy before he carried on. "you know, I could always introduce kuroo-"

  "no."

  "okay," his shoulders slumped and you gripped his arm upon seeing akaashi returning to the gym.

  "[first name]," he called and you gulped. "can i talk to you? just you and i?" he asked, and gaze the third year a glance before he skipped back into the gym, leaving me and akaashi alone. this is very awkward.

  "actually, i have an answer to that confession just now," he started, and you were shaking, your teeth chattering.

  "i think you're a really fun person to be around with, and you'd always compare yourself to the other girls, and say how inferior you feel. well, you're really gorgeous and that smile never fail to brighten up my day. those eyes are the color i love the most. i love everything about you - your clumsiness, your laughter and your overly lame jokes. those are what made me fell for you so don't you ever change that," he went on and on.

  by then, your eyes were already filled with tears and they threatened to fall. You hopped onto akaashi and wrapped your limbs around him like a koala. You buried your face in the crook of his neck, inhaling the smell of his hair and giving him a peck on the cheek.

  "i really thought i was going to be rejected," you cried out and he smiled, his hands wrapped around your waist.

  "why would i reject someone so perfect like you?"
