Watermelon Sugar - Bokuto Kotaro X OC

Trust

When she realised what she was doing she instantly stopped, covering her mouth with her palm so he couldn't see her laugh anymore.

Bokuto was still in the clouds "You're so pretty" he flashed all his teeth.

"I'm... I..." Seikan struggled to talk. She'd never slipped like that before "I can't do that very wel-"

"It's perfect" he said holding her wrist to pull her hand away from her lips. "But honestly, you look so cute when you laugh!" He chuckled and saw a slight pink hue dust her cheeks, that's when he realised he was still holding her hand. But he liked it so he didn't let go. He even took her back to class like that not caring about all the people dropping dead at the sight.

"I'll see you after class, okay?" He softly said and she took a few seconds to think before she shook her head.

"Sei chan..." he said "Are you studying at the library?"

She nodded

"I'll come study too then! Obaasan would be so proud of me!" he smiled before going back to his class.

Akaashi saw the dirt on her hands.

"Are you alright?" He asked and she nodded. He began to worry when she weirdly fidgeted all class. "Seikan chan, should I call Bokuto san?" He asked and she shook her head. He thought he was dreaming when he heard from literally everyone how Bokuto took her to play with the bunnies.

"He never took me there!" Kiara said.

"Me neither!" His other ex scoffed. "I wonder what's so special about her, she's literally the freak of Fukurodani"

"I know she is..." Kiara watched Bokuto follow her like a puppy after class.

He studied with her at the library, not daring to disturb her because he knew she liked studying so he let her be. The smile on his face, however, never went away. He had to sadly leave when it was time for his practice and the girls team had their day off. "I'll see you later, Sei chan..." he smiled "Don't stay back too late"

He left as soon as he saw her nod. She didn't realise the time go by. It was already seven.

"Seikan..." Kiara said in disgust but managed to mask her envy. Seikan did what she did best. She ignored her.

"Seikan, Bokuto told me to get you" she said and her ears pricked. Kiara disliked how she only responded to Bokuto's name.

"Let's go?" She asked and Seikan sat still for a whole minute before getting her things from the table.

Seikan followed Kiara quite far from school. As skeptical as she was she wouldn't doubt if it was Bokuto who called her.

"Stay here, okay?" Kiara said "I'll go call him"

Seikan waited for Bokuto to show up. It was almost half past eight. She jumped in fright when the sky cackled and it began raining. She ran under the nearest tree since there were no buildings in that road. Her heart was going cold along with the weather. She thought Bokuto tricked her. He did what she thought he would right after stopped anticipating it from him. He was so nice to her all the time she never thought he'd do something like that.

She stood there in her soaking clothes, freezing in the rain, clutching her bag close to her body to avoid the glares from people passing by.

Akaashi was going home on his bicycle after practice. When he saw Seikan under the tree he hit the brakes so hard, the tyres slid off the road and he fell along with his cycle. He soon recovered before running towards her "SEIKAN CHAN??!!" He quickly pulled his raincoat out and wrapped her with it. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE??"

She didn't answer him.

"I need you to talk, please! Do you want me to call Bokuto san??"

That was the last thing she wanted.

"He told me to... come here" she shuddered because of the cold.

"What?? That's impossible! Practice just ended and he's still practising serves" he said but paused when he realised something fishy "Did he tell you that himself?"

She shook her head "Kiara" she whispered.

Akaashi looked away because he didn't want to scare her with the look on his angry face "My house is a block away. Come on" he pulled her to his cycle and she pulled back.

"It's okay." He said but he knew she wouldn't listen.

"It's not him. I assure you that." He said "Please let's go"

"I can go-"

"I'm cold" Akaashi used the guilt card to take her to his place.

"I'll call him as soon as we get home, okay?" He pedalled faster, occasionally looking down to see the pink haired girl trembling in his jacket as the wind hit her face with how fast he was cycling to get home asap.

"SEI CHAN!!" Bokuto saw her sleeping on Akaashi's couch draped with a ton of blankets.

"She has a fever" he said stirring the hot soup the kitchen. "I gave her your clothes"

"Oh, Kami. Why would you do this?" He kneeled before her and touched her burning face.

"All I know is Kiara told her you'd see her there" Akaashi came out with bowls of steaming soup. "She didn't even say anything else"

"Akaashi, arigato" he sighed.

"Bokuto s-"

"I'm glad you found her before anyone else" he caressed her soft face.

Bokuto heavy heartedly woke her up so she could drink the soup and when the blankets dropped, so did his heart. He almost took a picture of Seikan in his clothes because of how nice it made him feel.

"Sei chan..." his hand cupped her cheek and she hesitated. "Did Kiara tell you to wait for me?"

She looked at her fingers and his blood began boiling. "I'm sorry" his thumb gently rubbed her cheek "I'm so sorry... why didn't you call me?" Akaashi couldn't believe how tenderly he was talking to her. He never lowered his voice below a few hundred decibels.

"I don't have you number" she barely spoke.

He let out a long sigh in defeat "I can't believe I'm friends with you" he mumbled taking her phone from the table and entered it for her.

"Did you tell your parents?" He and she nodded.

"I called my sister" Akaashi said "She's a doctor she'll be he-"

"KEIIIJIIII DID YOU FALL SICK AGAIN?!!" The door almost fell and Seikan looked like a terrified chicken.

"Kiyomi Senpai!" Bokuto greeted her.

"HEY! BOKU BOKU!" He ruffled his hair.

"Neesan, this is Bokuto's friend, Seikan. She's really-"

"PRETTYYY..." Kiyomi looked at her eyes.

"I was going to say sick" Keiji scoffed.

"Oh, is she?"

"You're the DOCTOR!"

"Yeah... okay I'll get to it" she smiled slyly, sitting before Seikan to examine her "So, tell me..." she said

"Why are you wearing Bokuto's clothes?"
