Summer was over far too soon. Bokuto tucked the final box into his jeep and turned to say his goodbyes.
"Congratulations, Koutaro. Don't forget to call every once in a while. Do your laundry at least once a week and make sure you don't skip meals. Also-."
"Honey."
Bokuto hugged his mom tightly, placing a kiss on a cheek that was damp from tears.
"I'm proud of you, Kou," his dad said, clapping him on the back.
"Thanks dad."
He waited for his parents to retreat to the porch, giving him and Akaashi some privacy for their goodbye.
"You'll call?"
"And I'll visit every chance I get."
"You better. You are only on the other side of Tokyo. It's not that far. " Akaashi hid his face in the crook of Bokuto's neck. "I'm going to miss you so much. I love you, Koutaro."
"I love you too, Keiji." Bokuto kissed him, then one more time before he, reluctantly, climbed into his vehicle and drove off toward the next part of his life.
