Phone Call From Heaven

Akaashi heard those stories where people's phones would randomly ring and when they picked up, they got a phone call from their loved one in heaven for half an hour and it was a one time thing.

To Akaashi, those stories were just bullshit. They weren't true whatsoever. Besides, how could someone even get a phone call from heaven in the first place? Akaashi doubted if there even was a heaven in the first place, there would be wifi or connection. He didn't believe that was possible.

If it was possible though, he would've wanted his now dead boyfriend to call him. Too bad that would never happen, is what Akaashi thought.

Around December 5th, Akaashi's birthday, the former setter woke up to a bunch of notifications from his classmates in college, former volleyball teammates from Fukurodani, Bokuto, Kenma and family members. As much as he appreciated all the birthday greetings, it hurt knowing it was his first birthday without his boyfriend.

He already suffered celebrating the 17th in honour of Kuroo who died from being a victim of a car crash after a drunk driver swerved off the road and rammed into Kuroo who got crushed between the wall of a building and the car. It was obvious he wasn't going to make it judging by how much blood was shed, the position he was found in, and the way he wouldn't wake up by the time Akaashi reached the hospital and saw him being rushed into an emergency room. The sight itself made Akaashi nauseous. The accident happened around the start of the year.

It was a Saturday, so Akaashi could just laze around, relax, maybe go out with friends as a small birthday celebration if any of them didn't have plans that day. He just stayed in bed instead, moping about how lonely he was feeling. He missed waking up to Kuroo's nasty bed hair beside him, that lopsided smile he gave Akaashi in the morning and that husky voice as he mumbled a good morning to Akaashi. Akaashi would like nothing more just to see Kuroo again.

His phone started ringing all of a sudden and Akaashi snapped out of his depressing day dream and reached over to his bedside table to pick it up. He frowned, noticing as it said 'Unknown Number'. Akaashi was debating whether to pick up or not. He was pretty terrified to pick up if he had to be honest. He did eventually pick up the phone, making sure to be careful if it was a scam or if they could get his phone information. "Hello?..." He spoke into the phone as he held it to his ear, careful to get rid of the panic he felt in his voice..

A laugh could be heard over the phone as static sounds can be heard. Akaashi tensed up at the sound and could feel himself panicking internally. Eventually a voice could be heard over the phone. Akaashi almost cried when he heard the "Hey 'Kaashi, happy birthday" in a voice that sounded so much like Kuroo. Even the sentence itself was practically dripping in Kuroo's charm.

"Who are you?..." Akaashi had to try and stop his voice from shaking and a noise was heard over the phone. "It's me Akaashi. Is it not obvious?" He asked, surprise lingered in the question as Akaashi was in massive denial. "No, no, no you're not Kuroo, he's dead" Akaashi whispered in an attempt to not let out a sob to this so called stranger. "Yeah I am dead, but have you never heard of that thing where people who died call their loved ones for 30 minutes but it's like a one time thing? Unless knowing you while I was still alive, you think it's just a bunch of shitty stories that probably don't exist but do anyways seeing as I called you just now" He said in that familiar cocky tone he liked to use on Akaashi when he was alive.

Akaashi blinked with surprise at the accuracy but still wasn't fully convinced. "If you really want me to believe you, tell me something only the two of us would know". Akaashi wanted to see if 'Kuroo' was really him.
