While walking back to the Ares cabin Bokuto hears a cabin from the other team talking.

"How did they know where the flag was? No one was near there until the ambush!" One says.

"Oh hey guys... That was completely my fault," Nishinoya pipes up.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU PIECE OF CRAP!"

"Again, Noya? Why do you have to do this to us?"

"I'm sorry, Azumane!" Nishinoya falls into the arms of a tall boy with long, brown hair. "I just can't help it! And I got like ten people onto their side without Bokuto-san noticing!"

"Yeah and they all got wiped out soon enough. Bokuto wasn't the only strong player on that team, you know," the tall boy says. Nishinoya sticks his tongue out at the guy and then the latter kissed the short boy on the forehead. That must be the boyfriend Nishinoya was talking about. Bokuto thinks that he has seen that guy go into the Demeter cabin few times, so that is probably where he lives.

Bokuto sighs. Does he really have to ask Akaashi out now? The more he thinks about it the more he wants to, but he doesn't know why. Anyway, will Nishinoya really come in to check on Bokuto? Probably. Whatever.

After lunch, Bokuto runs around camp trying to find Akaashi. Eventually he finds him, all the way up the climbing wall. He is talking to a girl in his cabin. She is relatively tall and has long blond hair. She has been here ever since Bokuto can remember. ((If you've read the Percy Jackson series you know who I am talking about))

"Akaashi!" Bokuto screams at the top of his lungs. "I need you!" Akaashi makes some movements with his hands and then shrugs. She waves goodbye and smiles, he does the same. He ropes his way down and looks at Bokuto as his feet hit the ground.

"What?"

"Let's take a walk," Bokuto suggests. Bokuto's hand is extended out in front of him, signaling Akaashi to take a step forward with him. Akaashi sighs and looks at Bokuto with an exasperated look. As they begin to walk, Bokuto has a million thoughts running through his head. If Akaashi says no, is Bokuto allowed to say Nishinoya made him do it? He must be. And what if Akaashi says yes? Does Bokuto want to go out with him?

Bokuto looks at Akaashi, admiring his grey-green eyes. Nishinoya was right, the boy really is beautiful. His black hair is messy enough so that he looks relaxed but not like a complete slob.

"Um, so Akaashi. How has your life been? Any new friends? How is everyone in your cabin?" Bokuto tries to act casual but fails miserably. Since when is he one to ask somebody about their life?

"Life has been fine," Akaashi says apprehensively. "My cabin mates are fine. You know the girl I was talking to? I've been talking with her more recently. She has been on a ton of quests. I think you met her boyfriend during the game. He was the guy who did the thing with the water."

He doesn't know why, but he would rather have Akaashi not date anybody. Well, maybe except him. A worried look forms on Bokuto's face, was is Nishinoya's fault he was thinking all of this or did he secretly have feelings for Akaashi before?

"That's good." Bokuto's voice comes out higher than normal. His eyes widen in embarrassment and he clears his throat. "Yeah, he seemed like a nice guy."

They continue to walk around camp and Bokuto ponders his predicament. Eventually it becomes time for dinner and Bokuto has made his decision.

"Akaashi, do you think you would meet me at the dock after dinner?"

"Uh, yeah sure..." Akaashi's eyes roll upwards as he goes through his schedule. "Yeah, I don't have anything directly after dinner. See you then." Akaashi walks over to the Athena table and Bokuto makes his way to sit with the rest of the Ares cabin. He is fidgety all through dinner, not eating as much as he usually does.

"Hey, man, you okay?" Tanaka slaps him on the back. "You aren't eating as much."

"Yeah man, I'm good. Just not that hungry. I ate a big lunch."

"Cool. Good game today, right? I got like five of those guards. It was great! I was totally the MVP!" Tanaka exclaims proudly.

"You always are."
