You run out the door of the cafe to see Bokuto walking back in the direction of the school and begin to follow him. He seemed to be lost in thought and... crying. It hurt your heart to see him like this. You tried to call out to him, He didn't hear you so you said it louder. You saw him flinch slightly and quicken his pace. You sped up to catch him and grab him by the shoulder.
"Bokuto! Hey, look at me."
You say as you turn him around. His face was stained with tears, and he looked at you in surprise. You couldn't stand seeing him like that so you just hugged him. He tensed up as if not sure how to react.
"What happened?"
You asked, on the verge of tears yourself. You could feel him start to tremble,
"It's just been a bad day..."
He said. You felt him cry into your shoulder. You pulled him closer and he hugged you back tightly. You two sat in silence for what felt like hours, you held him as he cried and comforted him. This was nothing like the Bokuto you knew. It was hard for you to believe that he was the same happy rambunctious 3rd year you've gotten to know over the past 2 weeks. When he finally got up, you just stared at him. You wanted him to say something, but nothing came out so you decided to speak up first.
"Do you feel better? We can walk around a bit if you'd like."
You say, trying to help as best you can. He nods silently as you pull some tissues out of your purse so he could clean himself up. You guys continue to walk towards the school when he turns towards you,
"Why did you come after me?"
He asked confused. You paused and thought on it a moment.
"Well, on the first day we talked, you came after me when I was feeling down. So I decided I would do the same for you..."
You trailed off, you weren't going to tell him that you thought it was something you did, that would be kind of a bitchy thing to do.
He shrugged,
"Eh, that makes sense."
He said with a small smile on his face. You remembered that there was a park nearby so, without thinking, you grabbed his arm and dragged him in the direction of the park.
"There's a park nearby, let's stop there for a bit!"
He was surprised, but didn't protest. You realize what you did and let go.
"Sorry about that,"
You say as you laugh awkwardly. He laughed a bit, and said it was fine. You both make your way to the park and find a bench to sit on. You feel your phone buzz and pull it out to see a text from (bff)
[CookieMonster🍪: Yo what happened? Everything aight?]
[Reader: Ye, everything's good just chillin 😎]
[CookieMonster🍪: Aight.]
You put your phone away and just relax. Bokuto sighs and leans his head against the back of the bench. He looks content, and definitely looks happier than before. You decide to do the same, and the two of you just listen to the sounds of nature around you. It was still nice out, despite it being the middle of autumn. You didn't know how long you'd both been there, but all of a sudden you feel a slight itchy feeling on your nose. You flinch, and open your eyes to see Bokuto trying to tickle your nose with a leaf. You smirk before finding a leaf of your own and trying to do it back to him. You barely even touched his nose before he sneezed. You jumped back a bit startled, then started to laugh a bit. You tried to do it again, but he blocked you and attacked full force with his leaf causing you to sneeze. As he was laughing you got him again. This went on for a bit longer until you both couldn't stop laughing. When you both finally calmed down, you decided it was probably best to make your way back to the school to grab your bags. As you got up, you got another text. This time it was from who you originally thought was Kenma.
[NekoNintendo: Hey its Kuroo! I stole kenmas phone, how'd everything go??!?!?!?]
[Reader: Why didn't you just text Bokuto? -_-]
[NekoNintendo: OH YEAH I COULDVE DONE THAT!]
[Reader: -_-]
Not even 10 seconds later, Bokuto's phone began to ring. He looked at it and and grinned before he answered.
"Hey hey hey! Whats up bro?!?"
You couldn't hear what was happening on the other end, but you didn't really care. You continued your walk to the school when you saw the rest of your group heading back as well.
[Reader: I can see u! 👁👄👁]
You sent it to (bff) who you saw look at her phone and then visibly cringe. You couldn't help but laugh when she texted back.
[CookieMonster🍪: DUDE WTF I WAS HAVING A GOOD DAY!! 😡😱]
She turned to look in the direction of your laugh and you waved her down. You both caught up with the rest of the group and continued your walk together. You got back to the school and gathered your things, saying goodbye to Kenma and Kuroo, before heading home for the night. As you lie in bed, preparing to fall asleep, your phone buzzes again.
"Wow I sure am popular today..."
You mumble to yourself.
[CoolOwlDude: hey thanks for helping me today! It was fun! We should hang out more often! 😁]
You chuckle a bit, before responding.
[Reader: haha yeah it was really fun! Well I'm gonna go to bed cuz I'm tired and lazyyyy, gn! 😴]
[CoolOwlDude: gn!!]
You smile at the message, and then fall asleep.
