Akaashi and I kinda got closer which automatically meant so did Bokuto because where-ever Akaashi is Bokuto is there. Like a little puppy. It's sort of cute. Not in a romantic way though I don't see him like that.
If I'm honest he creeps me out. His stares are just so intense. His mood changed so quickly as well from what I've noticed is when his mood changes so does his hair and when his mood does change you need to try and cheer him up otherwise he won't perform as well as he should.
"Hey, Hey, Hey!" I hear from a distance "Bokuto. Hi" I wave looking to see if I can spot the second year but alas, he is not there today "Is Akaashi sick or something? He never misses a day" his hair immediately deflates "Why are you so worried about Akaashi, he's fine he can't go to practice today but you're still going to watch me aren't you?"
Is he sulking?
"I'm sorry bud, I have to practice this morning. I'll watch you after school though. You have a match with Nekoma don't you?" "You're really going to watch me play!" I nod and he smiles like he's never smiled before.
I hate doing this, I just want to be left alone. But I made a deal.
"Hey y/n-Senpai can I speak with you for a minute?" I turn around and it's the guy from earlier in the volleyball club. "Hurry up, I need to go to the rink," he nods, catching his breath. Did he run here? "I know it's too much to ask but Bokuto performs better when you're there-"
"So you want me to act as his friend and watch him play during live matches?" his face seems shocked. It was so obvious he was going to ask "how did you know?" chuckling I look him in the eyes "It's obvious. What's in it for me?"
"I'll get him to stop watching you practice" mm I mean having him watch could give me the knowledge I need to improve myself "How about we watch each other practice. I can't guarantee I'll be there to watch every game as you know I'm on a tight schedule. However, I could use feedback that isn't always shouting. You got yourself a deal"
Like I said before I hate this. "Bokuto-san" One of his team members call out "Their cleaning the sports hall practice is cancelled" all of a sudden you could practically see sparkles in his eyes. "Y/N I CAN WATCH YOU NOW!!" I nod opening the doors to my designated area "Wait... if the sports hall is closed, how can you practice" "Because they clean after I'm done for the day"
"You need to sit a bit further than Bokuto, what if I fall? You might get hurt." he nods scooching back a bit. Ugh, that was cute. Why was it cute? "Bokuto can you choose which song for me to practice there's a playlist on my phone there should be a playlist called '2013 country finals'" it takes a while for him to respond with a song "Romeo and Juliette"
"Good choice, I wanted to practice that one anyway" he smiles whilst I get into the starting position. Once the music starts I start.... Obviously but it's like I've known this piece all of my life if I take one element at a time then I can get this down. The quadruple circle is coming up. And the landing wasn't perfect. I'll need to practice that more. Quad turn, I know I can nail this down so it won't be an issue.
The transition into the flip will it work this time? I've always had problems with it... I made it. The next stunt is going to impress him for sure. An L turn into a what I call spine breaker because jeesus christ it hurts my spine.
Fast low spin, leg goes up and if I can just hold the skate I can do this. Triple Alex is next. I can do them. A triple toe as well. Why aren't I landing these?
My weight is in the wrong place. There are no more jumps after this. Emotions, come on y/n show some emotion. Coach would hate me if he saw what I just did. The music stops and I can finally catch my breath.
"Y/N THAT WAS AMAZING LIKE YOU WENT WOOSH AND WAS SO MAJESTIC!!" really? Was it amazing? "It wasn't that good. I messed up the landings on some of the jumps and I didn't convey enough emotions. I couldn't expect to win like that" he frowns and just stares. This is what I hate when he just stares at me. "Don't be so hard on yourself, you also shouldn't expect to win all the time then you put more pressure onto yourself."
"If I don't do it my manager will and so will my coach. I have to get it perfect. Who knows what will happen if I don't. What time is it?" I ask as he passes my water bottle "It's 10:50" we have about half an hour left until class. "I need to practice my jumps. Specifically, the one's I fell on" for the next ten minutes it was me failing and failing.
"Why can't I just land this bloody jump. For fuck sakes I'm sick of it just practising jumps all the time. That's all I do when I'm in the rink so I have to practice my routines on this shitty fake ice." plopping down next to Bokuto I rest my head on his shoulder "Do you want a hug?" nodding he takes my body and engulfs me into a bone-crushing hug.
"Y/n... you're really light. How much do you weigh? 45kg, why?" he stays silent for a moment. "And you're 5'7 right?" I nod into his chest "Y/n, I mean nothing by this but I think you're underweight. You should at least be about 55kg as a figure skater"
"That's what my manager told me. He told me I need to be 45kg otherwise I won't look pretty and I wouldn't be taken seriously if I was above that. I'm sorry if that inconveniences you"
I get off of him and pack up getting ready for the day.
