X Won't Be Fine

"Will you wait for me to be worthy of you?" his question made you breathless for a second.

"Akaashi." you mumbled his name. It haven't sink in on you yet, but you are sure that the guy in front of you now is sincerely showing his feelings to you.

"I'm a nobody. I want to be a guy whom you can be proud of because a lady like you deserves so much better; that's why I'm asking you to wait for me. I want to be that guy [Y/N]-san."

You think lowly of yourself Akaashi. You said to yourself.

You totally like Akaashi by what he is right now that is for sure but you totally understand his point. You know also for yourself that you don't deserve such a guy yet and you're still not ready to be committed. If he is willing to be a better man for you, you would do the same for him.

You stared at your hands as it was wrapped around his. "I will wait for you Akaashi." You said to him tightening your grip.

Surprised by your answer his cheeks flushed almost looking like a tomato. "Th-thank you [Y/N]-san." he said.

You gave him your warmest smile. This has been a very tiring day but you would never regret coming over to Tokyo to watch his game today. You are genuinely happy. I'll be better for you Akaashi. Let's meet again.

The train arrived in less than an hour and the two of you eventually have to say goodbye. This made you a bit sad but Akaashi assured you he would keep in touch a lot more than the usual.

"Oh, thanks for lending me your jacket Akaashi." you said to him as you were about to take off the jacket you have been wearing since he put it on you. You didn't mind it on though it was big for your size as it made you warm and cozy.

He moved in more closely to you and pulled the zipper up before giving you a tight hug. "Keep it." he said before touching his lips unto your forehead.

You shivered for a bit as his gentle and soft lips stroked your temple. His scent found it's way to your nose as you burried your face on his chest; sweet and calming. You looked up and met Akaashi's gaze. "We'll meet again." he said before finally letting you go.

"Hmmm, Wakatoshi [Y/N] dear said he would be late." Tendou said right after reading the text you had sent to him.

The team have already gathered around at an expensive restaurant Ushijima himself reserved for this celebration. You had no idea about this but the team wasn't just celebrating their victory; it's a celebration for Ushijima's birthday as well.

"Hmmm." was his only answer.

"I don't get it. Why would you keep this a secret from princess-sama Ushijima-san? Don't you want to receive something from her? I'm sure she would have prepared something for you, if she knew today is your birthday." Goshiki said.

"Well as Wakatoshi's bestfriend I will speak for him." Tendou interrupted. "You see Wakatoshi right here is..." he paused for bit looking at the ace who was on his stoic expression as usual. "he's just shy, you know he has a crush on dear [Y/N] right?" he said.

"Gah, what a lame answer. And you call yourself his best friend, huh?" Semi groaned unsatisfied with Tendou's words.

"Don't be jealous Semisemi, you're my best friend number two." Tendo laughed.

"I don't even want to be your best friend yet I am number two? I don't even know anymore." The others laugh at semi's remarks. He always say he doesn't like Tendou yet it was evident that the two of them are close.

"So uhm, Wakatoshi. Any plans on confessing to [Y/N]?" Reon asked out of the blue which made the boys go silent as they wait for their captain's answer.
