Akaashi liked the quiet. He liked being able to listen to the surroundings. The sea bird squawking around him. The distant chattering of people on the pier. The faraway music of ice cream and arcades. He liked being on his own. He liked walking down a beach, shoes in hand, feeling the sand between his toes, the freezing water splashing against his legs.

His only worry would be that his trousers would get drenched, no matter how high he rolled them up.

Akaashi liked the quiet. Therefore, the only way he could get quiet with Bokuto is walk away without him noticing. So far, he’s gone unnoticed. Akaashi left Bokuto at the arcade to amuse himself.

Akaashi just really needed to think and thinking is almost impossible when Bokuto is near.

For some reason, Akaashi always yearns for Bokuto’s voice whilst he’s alone in practise. He wants to hear Bokuto pestering him to tell Bokuto that he is amazing. He wants to hear the victory ‘hey hey hey!' when Bokuto does something right.

It was almost too quiet in the volleyball gym without Bokuto, no matter how much Akaashi liked the quiet.

However, no matter how much he misses him, he could only spend a certain amount of time with Bokuto without getting annoyed. He feels slightly bad about it though. Ever since Bokuto graduated, they -the inseparable pair- haven’t really had time to hang out like they used to.

Akaashi forgot how boisterous Bokuto is.

Akaashi strolled down the beach side, wondering whether to go back to Bokuto. But then decided not to because he could hear the brash voice of Bokuto calling out his name.

“Akaashiiiii!” he whined, “Why did you leave me!?”

“Sorry, Bokuto-san,” Akaashi's apology was empty, of course, he wasn’t sorry for leaving Bokuto at all.

“Are you alright, Akaashi?” Kotaro asked, a heavy concern in his voice, “You’ve been really distracted since we came here,”

“Yeah, I’m fine,” Bokuto answered, kicking the sand beneath his feet, “Just thinking about something, I guess.”

“Wanna share?”

Akaashi shrugged, “Just thinking about the future, since I’m graduating soon.”

“Are you worried ‘bout it, ‘Kaashi? Cuz if you are, you’re really smart so you don’t have to worry.”

“It’s not that,” Akaashi responded, “I was thinking whether I should continue volleyball after I leave,”

Bokuto stopped in his tracks, “What?” he mumbled, his eyes wide in shock, “What happened to joining a team together?”

Akaashi fidgeted and shrugged, “I don’t know if that’s important to me anymore, Bokuto-san,”

“Are you saying I’m not important to you?” Bokuto scowled, “I thought we were going to continue playing volleyball together like we were before,”

Akaashi remained silent, thinking of a way to phrase what he wants to say without hurting Bokuto even more.

“I can’t keep looking at you from behind, Bokuto-san, you’re going to keep getting better and if I’m not fully committed then I’m going to fall behind,”  

“But, Akaashi, I thought-“

“Bokuto-san, please,” Akaashi begged, “Volleyball has always been a hobby for me, not a career.”

“Akaashi, I want to keep playing volleyball with you,” Bokuto whimpered, Akaashi tried his best to keep a straight face.

“Please respect what I decide, Bokuto-san,” Akaashi replied, “You are going to be amazing no matter what, even if I’m not there,”
