🌙 k. bokuto || strangers

You were walking home on a cold, brisk night from your night job. You buried your face in your soft scarf and clutched your arms. A shiver racked your body.

Your apartment wasn't far. Just about two more blocks. Suddenly, dull footsteps appeared behind you. The got louder, and you just kept your eyes forward and assumed they were in a hurry.

Within a matter of seconds, they were walking beside you. Their breaths and steps matched yours. Your curiosity got the best of you and you glanced at the figure beside you.

It apparently male, wearing all black with a hat, sunglasses and a mask.

A disguise, perhaps?

He inches closer to you until your shoulders were touching. Your heart was racing now. You were terrified. What did he want?

You had your apartment complex in sight. You picked up your pace but he kept following.

Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my-

Suddenly the man stood in front of you and pulled down his mask.

"Come on, girlie~ come to my place and we can have some fun~"

Your eyes widened as you clenched your fists. Bokuto... please help me...

Your boyfriend would be sound asleep by now, exhausted from the weeks worth of practice.

His hand inched to your chest as he wore a smug smile. You were frozen. You had read about such situations before but had never encountered one. You didn't realize how horrifying it was. Alone on a cold night, and no one would hear you scream. It would take about 20 minutes for police to show up, anyway.

You shook your head, a desperate attempt to recollect yourself. You pulled a small red can out of your purse and flushed it in his mouth because he was wearing sunglasses.

"L-leave me alone!" you said as you nailed your foot into his crotch.

"You whore..." he said as you ran past him towards your apartment.

You ran as fast as you could up the stairs and frantically unlocked the door with violently shaky hands.

You unlocked the door and as you assumed, Bokuto was fast asleep on the bed. You quickly set down your purse on the counter and changed into pajamas. Your mind was reeling with worry and fresh fear.

Your shaking body crawled into bed. You nestled yourself in Bokuto's body. You hid your face in his warm chest.

It was only a matter of minutes before tears began streaming down your face. You covered your mouth with your hand, not wanting to wake him up. You whimpered a little.

Your cold, shaking body plus the crying noises gently woke Bokuto up. At first he had a hazy gaze and didn't know what was going on, then he looked down at you and realized you were crying.

His eyes flashed with worry as he widened them.

"H-hey, Y/N, what's wrong?" he said sleepily.

"Oh, Bokuto." you choked out. "T-this man was f-following m-me for several blocks a-and he tried t-to take me to h-h-his house." you said as you sobbed.

Oh my god, poor Y/N. Bokuto thought.

He wrapped his big arms around you and engulfed you in his love. "I'm so sorry,   Y/N. That sounds terrible. But everything's okay now, I'm here." he cooed.

"Bokuto," you said, messily wiping your face, "I was so scared. It was truly t-terrifying. I wish you were there, I really really do."

Your hand gripped his shirt. Bokuto felt guilty for being asleep and not knowing what had happened to her. He was asleep, so he couldn't have known anyhow.

He stroked her hair. "I'm so sorry." he kissed your forehead. "I really am. I'll walk you home from work from now on, okay?"

He cupped your cheeks as he turned your face towards his. Your watery eyes blinked in reply and he hugged you again.

"I won't let anything happen to you."
