Perfect (Akaashi x Reader)

Reunited

(Your POV)

I open the door, peeking inside and then walking in. After getting back from America, the first thing I want to do is see my childhood best friend, Bokuto Koutaruo. I didn't tell him I was coming back yet, instead I texted his mom, asking where he would be this weekend. She had said the Fukurodani training camp was this week and gave me the address for it.

"Who are you? You're not a manager here?"

I look up, and I mean up at the voice. I see a tall blonde with glasses gazing down at me.

"Uhh- I'm here for a friend," I say quietly, staring at him with wide eyes.

"Tch, whatever. Not my business," he mutters and walks away to a boy with green hair and freckles

I sigh and look around the Fukurodani team, they're not playing right now, just resting on the sidelines. Smiling, I spot Koutarou easily, he hasn't changed his hair from middle school at all.

I guess you're wondering how exactly I know Bokuto, and why I was gone for some years, well, let me explain.

(Age: 5)

"(F/N), meet Bokuto Koutarou! He's a year older than you!" My mom calls to me as she points to a boy with black hair.

"Hi!" I say, waving at him.

"Hey! Do you like the slide?!" He asks in a very hyper voice, pointing at the playground.

Smiling at him I say, "It's fun but I think the monkey bars are the best! Once I went all the way across them without falling!"

"WOAH! Really!? Come play with me!" He yells, grabbing my hand and dragging me over to the sandbox.

(Age: 8)

"When I grow up, I'm gonna be an owl that plays volleyball!" Bokuto exclaims suddenly as we eat breakfast.

Our moms are close, and we're neighbors which often resulted in us staying over at each other's houses.

"Don't be silly Kou! You can barely hit the ball!" I laugh, completely ignoring the fact that he said he was going to be an owl.

"Just you wait! I'm gonna be the ace! And you'll play volleyball too!" He says, shoving cereal in his mouth.

"YEAH!" I cheer happily.

(Age: 12)

"Hey, hey, hey! (F/N)! Look at my hair!" Koutarou comes running up to me at the beginning of the school day.

"Woah! That's so cool! It's all spikey and grey! You look like and owl!" I laugh, poking it.

"I know right! It's pretty awesome!" He brags, "Oh, you're gonna join the girls volleyball team right?"

"I dunnnnooo. I'm not sure if I should," I rub the back of my neck awkwardly.

"You have to! You're so good at blocking though!" He says, shaking my shoulders.

"Okay!" I nod happily.

(Age: 14)

"Don't toss to me anymore!" Bokuto exclaims dramatically in the middle of a game.

All his teammates sigh and I groan from the stands.

Now? You have to be kidding me! This could be his last game of middle school!

I watch as his setter passes to other people and clench my fists.

"Give me that," I snap, grabbing the megaphone out of someone's hand.
