will you be my star? (Bokuaka, star tear au)

Chapter 5

"I'm listening Keiji."

Bokuto helped him on his feet only for them to sit down on a couple of flap chairs that were stacked for storage. Akaashi was quiet for a long time and so was Bokuto. The owl boy put his hand on his juniors shoulder but Akaashi flinched and pushed it away.
Feeling dejected Bokuto put his hands back into his lap, the feeling of being hated by his best friend overwhelmed him making him cut the silence wuth a painful cry.
"Agaashe! I'm so sorry if I did something, I didn't mean to! You're my best friend and you mean to world to me okay?"
Akaashi turned around and looked directly at him. He still couldn't see the colour of Bokuto's eyes; he cried the same twinkle sound rushed around the room. It was intense because it was his crush and him only in the room. Bokuto felt like he was in a galaxy, the stars flooding around him like an endless maze.. however the maze was filled with traps and thorns that could cut him and leave him to bleed.
"B-Bokuto san.. it's not you ,it's me! I.. I have something to tell you.." keiji you can do it! Tell him you like him. Do it....No scrap it just tell him about the disease
Bokuto leaned closer.
"Do you.. have star tears?" He asked. Akaashi immediately shot his head up, he wondered how he knew and if he knew it was him.
"I'll take the silence as a yes then.."
Bokuto's voice was serious but soft, Akaashi could tell that he felt guilty.
"It's not your fault. It's mine."
"Who is it?"
"Huh?"
"Who's your crush?"
Both boys were flustered, Akaashi tried calming down.
"I can't tell you.."
he hoped he begged him to ask again but that wasn't the case.
"that's fine..." the voice trailed. "I won't beg you. Tell me when you're ready!" He started getting up. "Well we still have practice-"
"I'm gay." He blurted out,it was the least he can do. They're best friends so might aswell tell him.
"Ah,, I see. Is he from the Volleyball club?"
He slightly nodded but not enough to give it off.
"I'm bisexual!" The black and white spiked haired boy replied, his smile was massive. This smile made Akaashi's heart throb. It was very loud.. and that's when he realised. He didn't have that much time left.

Akaashi could feel the heartbeat throbbing throughout his body, like an endless echo of wave. He clenched the shirt brim while trying to get up.
"B-Bokuto san..!" He called out, Bokuto immediately turned around and sat him on a chair, Akaashi calmed down after Bokuto left but practice was wasted and cut short. Bokuto and the rest of the team walked in the changing room.
"You okay Akaashi-kun?" Washio asked while unzipping his duffle bag, Akaashi replied with a soft but weak nodd.

"Hey hey hey Agaahhheee!" Bokuto said while jumping into Akaashi, embracing him into a large hug. Akaashi needed it, he was thankful he had Bokuto, however, he cried when he hugged him. "Thank you,,thank you I'm sorry.." the rest of the team just softly smiled at the long awaited interaction.

Bokuto decided to walk Akaashi home, he was worried that something would happen to him again, he was texting kuroo for advice.

Bokuto sighed and put his phone on his side pocket of his school blazer, the night was cold and damp, it was eerie but Bokuto felt safe because Akaashi was there.. well Akaashi WAS there..

"Agaashe?!" Bokuto called out, he could've sworn they were walking side by side. He started frantically spinning in directions of where he could've gone. There were no traces. He tried calling him but no one picked up, it rang but no reply. His phone was still in range so it didn't mean he was in danger right?

Akaashi ran, he ran far and faster than ever before. He couldn't breathe it was an aura from Bokuto that just struck him. He loved him dearly to the fact that he thought he needed to let him go. His eyes stung and his vision was getting blurry, he decided to drink the remaining half of whatever was left in his bottle, which was the bare minimum to keep him going. He came to a valley and sat under a Sakura tree. He took his phone out and saw that he had 45 calls from Bokuto and 16 texts asking where he was and if he was okay, Akaashi slightly smiled but then the texts started dancing. He winced and decided to ignore the texts. Opening google he searched up star tear symptoms.
