Into A Fantasy! (Bokuto X Reader)

Chapter 4: I Knew It

As expected, the hyper Owl Boy was hyper throughout practice. You learned that his name was Bokuto and that he was the Captain of the team. The team educated you on his 'emo mode' and his moods. Akaashi and Bokuto were finishing up with sets and normal attacks. Bokuto was strong with Quicks and Cutshots but, he needed to know the basics too.

You watched and talked with the libero about the Manager position. He told you that being the manager was going to be a handful. Even though, most of the boys can take care of themselves, Bokuto was already a handful in himself. You reassured him that you could handle it, if you wanted the job that is.

He smiled, thanking you for even considering it. Running back to join his teammates in cleaning the gym, he sighed with relief.

"Maybe...just maybe...Bokuto can get a hold of himself."

Sure. Akaashi handles Bokuto most of the time but, he REALLY doesn't want to do it all the time. He dislikes the fact that Bokuto still acts like a child when he is almost a full grown man.

"Hey, Y/N! Can you help me with something?"

You hear your name being hollered from the opposite side of the gym. Perking up and holding three Volleyballs in your arms, you tilt your head.

"B-bokuto, right?"

He nods and grins excitedly.

"Right! Now, come on! I need help with the net!"

You look from him to the net, to the balls in your arms, to the rest of the team and back. You look at Akaashi and he gets the hint almost immediately.

"Bokuto-san, let me help. She doesn't even know if she wants to be the team manager yet."

He nodded to you as the libero walked towards you to help you with the Volleyballs.

"He means well, he's just a knucklehead. Don't worry too much."

You nod and take the balls to the storage closet. You heard Bokuto and Akaashi following in behind. Bokuto was humming and skipping with the net in hand. Akaashi only shook his head and gave you a soft and subtle smile. You could only watch and giggle at Akaashi as he struggled to keep from getting crushed by Bokuto. You joined the rest of the team. They talked about how you were possibly they're saving grace. You were a little confused by that statement. Didn't they hear what happened in the hall earlier in the day? Don't they know the rumors that have been spread throughout the middle school and high school?

Maybe this is your paradise.

You giggle when Bokuto rejoins the group and starts making jokes. The team thanks you for staying with them during practice. Akaashi walks over to you and tells you to wait outside the gym while he grabs his things and changes into different clothes.

Some time passes as you scroll through your phone, looking at dumb cat memes. It was quiet and dark. The only light being the light from your phone.

"That's a cute kitten."

You jump at the voice and hold your phone close to your chest. You look up when you hear laughing from behind you. Bokuto. How long had he been there?! He was changed and smiling brightly at you.

"Well?"

He chuckled and down next to you.

"Y/N...? Right?"

You nod, still startled.

"I'm Bokuto Koutoru! Nice to meet you!"

"I know who you are."

He stiffens at your response.

"You do?"

You only nod.

"Yeah."

He looks from side to side.

"Who am i then..?"

Nervously, he twiddles his thumbs.

"You're Fukurodani's Male volleyball team captain. You're a third year and you are the 5th most powerful wing spiker in Tokyo."

His amber eyes, looking more of a golden color, seem to shimmer. He's speechless for a few heartbeats before he decides to find his voice.

"That..that's right.."

You smile triumphantly and square your shoulders, making you look taller. He shook his head and smiled at you. The first thing that came to his mind was a simple question.

"Are you going to stay with the Volleyball team and be our manager?"

His eyes shimmered again. You felt a slight tug at your lips. Feeling your head nod, you look at him for his reaction. Almost immediately, you were pulled into his warm embrace. He squeezed you tightly before jumping up to tell his fellow team members.

"Bo-"

You cut yourself off with a smile. He was jumping off the ground, practically flying from his joy. You sighed and stood to follow him.

'This..will be fun.."
