🍄 k. bokuto || sad

Bokuto has his... well... mood swings. Often times his energetic and smug attitude would be replaced with a depressed one almost instantly. He would be more clingy, emotional, and just downright sad.

One day as you were vibing in your shared apartment, Bokuto cane home from volleyball practice. His hair seemed a little droopy and his eyes were dull. His head was tilted downwards, as if he were shameful.

"Hey, Bo!" you said, trying to cheer him up. He was in one of his 'emo-modes'.

You went towards him to hug him but he simply walked away. He dropped his duffel bag at the door silently and walked to your room. You two shared a room and a large bed.

You knew he needed to be motivated, he needed to be cheered up. He needed to be comforted.

You sighed as you walked to your room quietly, and as you peeled in, you saw him sitting on the side of the bed, gazing out the window. His eyes still seemed dull and lost in thought. His eyebrows were bent in a way that made his expression look crestfallen, and his mouth was open ever so slightly.

The sheen window glared at you and you softly sat beside him on the fluffy white covers.

You put an arm around his side. "What's wrong, Bo?"

It took him a moment to respond.

"I'm so... so frustrated. I've been in a sort of a volleyball block recently and it sucks. I can barely spike and we have some really important games coming up."

He hid his face in his hands, when he brought them down, his eyes were teary and a few droplets fell down his soft face.

"Hey..." you hugged him, and he hugged you back, his teary eyelashes brushing against your thin neck skin.

"It's so hard, Y/N. Being the ace. When people depend on you, *sniff* and you let them down, it's the worst feeling in the world. *sniff*"

"I know, baby." You kept rubbing his back and slightly rocking him, like an infant. His hands clutched your shirt.

You eventually lay down on the bed, and you gently pulled his arm, beckoning him to lay beside you.

He obeyed, and he was behind you, cradling your body with his arms around you, his face nestled in the crook of your neck.

You rubbed his hands. "I love you, Bokuto. Please don't ever forget that. You're doing your absolute greatest out there, and sometimes everyone experiences hardships." you paused before continuing. "It's like writers block. It's just another boundary to overcome, y'know? When you finally jump that hurdle, you will be stronger and more experienced than before."

His grip tightened on you. "How did I end up with someone as amazing as you? What on Earth did I do to deserve you?"

You chuckled, bringing his hand to your mouth to briefly kiss it. "Just take it easy, okay? You're the greatest ace out there."

You felt him nod. You spent about an hour just laying together. Suddenly, you felt a chuckle behind you. It then turned into a booming laugh. He sat up, his face contorted into a large smile with light blushing.

He continued to cackle. "What's so funny?"

"I'm the best! I really am!!" He said, pumping his fists.

He stood up and picked you up bridal style on the bed. He held you over his head. "Hey hey hey!!" he boomed.

"P-put me down, Bokuto!" you said, half playfully, half fearfully.

He smirked and then he fell to the bed crossing his legs, still holding you.

He gazed into your e/c eyes. He grinned as he tucked a piece of stray hair behind your ear.

"'Hey hey hey.'" you mocked playfully.

He brought you in for a kiss, it was full of emotion and happiness.

This was the Bokuto you knew.
