"akaashi! im worried! what if i don't hit any straights in?!" bokuto grimaced at his black haired friend who sighed heavily. "you will, don't worry about it bokuto-san." akaashi said in attempt to reassure the spiker.

bokuto was very uneasy. fukurodani was placed on the second day of the tournament however that meant the crowd was significantly smaller. bokuto, always wanting to be the center of attention was very displeased with this news.

"what's the matter with you bokuto? you seem down." konoha peeked over the bus seats in front of him, noticing bokuto's rather sour mood. bokuto let out a loud shout and pouted, "this sucks! all of this! the crowd is nothing like yesterday's! there's like, twenty people watching me!" bokuto angrily grumbled, crossing his arms.

konoha glanced around akaashi who sat beside bokuto. akaashi let out a sigh and shook his head and konoha nodded, there isn't anything they can do about it until the tournament starts.

the fukurodani team was unpacking their stuff, getting their bags ready to go before the match. bokuto was still sulking about the fact that the match today will have significantly less people and akaashi tried his best to comfort the team's captain.

"bokuto-san, it's okay. im sure everyone's eyes will be on you." akaashi said in attempt to reassure bokuto who was pouting, a sigh escaped his lips as he threw his bag over his shoulder and waved for the team to follow him to the locker room.

"ah shit! i left something on the bus! one second!" konoha exclaimed, turning back on his heels and ran towards the bus. bokuto's eyes followed him before sighing loudly and turning the corner- suddenly, there was a loud thud and in the blink of an eye, bokuto's bag was knocked to the floor.

"o-oh geez im so sorry! are you hurt?" bokuto rubbed his shoulder lightly, where the collision had happened and he turned his eyes to you. you were running around the corner where you and bokuto collided and you fell to the floor. bokuto's eyes widened at you, his jaw slacked as he uttered a quiet, "wow."

"i-im alright. im sorry i didn't mean to run into like this..." you scrambled to gather your stuff, a blush dusted across your face. bokuto helped you up and you flashed a smile. "o-oh you're a-alright!" bokuto gave you a toothy smile before you gathered up your things and headed off. his golden eyes followed you as your figure disappeared into the crowd all heading towards the balcony seats.

"bokuto-san! we have to go to the lockers!" akaashi's voice snapped bokuto out of his trance before a very apparent blush appeared on his face, "crap! yeah sorry guys!"

"oooh does bokuto have himself a little crush~?" konoha returned with a smirk on his lips, sneering at the fukurodani captain. bokuto scoffed and rolled his eyes, "shut it konoha. as if you'll be ever able to score a girl," bokuto snapped back as an irk mark appeared on konoha's forehead. "why you-" konoha raised his voice before akaashi pushed himself between the two of them, "SHUT UP AND LETS GET TO THE LOCKER ROOM JESUS CHRIST."

bokuto was rather quiet for the rest of the time. he didn't argue much more after that and actually seemed completely focused compared to his previously sour mood. akaashi took this, noted it and assumed it was because of your encounter with the team's captain.

as the fukurodani team readied themselves for their match of the day, akaashi walked up to bokuto who was warming up by the side lines and tapped the wing spiker's shoulder. the boys were in the center of the larger gymnasium with a crowd of a hundred or more watching. they were stretching and warming themselves up on their side of the court, readying for a hard match.

"bokuto-san, there's someone who's watching you." bokuto's eyes lit up with excitement as he spun on his heels and looked at akaashi, "who?!" he said with giddiness, almost jumping up and down like a child.

akaashi turned around and pointed at a rather empty part of the balcony benches and there you were, smiling and cheering. a giant smile appeared on bokuto's lips as he waved at you. you realized that the boy you had ran into earlier waving at you which caused your cheeks to turn red as you shyly waved back.

ringggggg

the loud whistle of the referee signaled the start of the game. the rotation for fukurodani was a bit different then usual, with bokuto as the starting server. compared to earlier, he was much calmer, relaxed and less worried. another whistle signaled for him to start the match- it was almost silent in the gymnasium as bokuto tossed the ball up, and ran towards the court before he leaped into the air. his vision was clear and could see clearly as to where was the best place to hit the ball to- and he did just that.

bokuto smashed the ball with frightening strength between the libero and the far left player of the other team. it was silent for a moment before everyone cheered loudly, the commentators going crazy and the fukurodani team loudly cheered and jumped up and down.

"that was amazing bokuto-san!" akaashi complimented, in awe of bokuto's powerful serve before bokuto laughed it off. "nahhh it was no big deal."

akaashi chuckled at him, "i suppose not to you but your admirer up there seems quite excited for you." bokuto's eyes trailed to you where you were clapping happily, jumping up and down for him. a wide smile appeared on bokuto's lips as he winked at you and waved at you. you smiled at him and blew a kiss which sent his cheeks to a bright scarlet. akaashi pointed out the change of color on bokuto's face before bokuto loudly declares that nothing changed.

"bokuto-san, your face is red."

"NO ITS NOT AKAASHI! SHUDDUP!"

"HAHAHA BOKUTO'S FACE IS RED- HOW EMBARRASSING-!"

"SHUT UP KONOHA!"
