Ch 9: Notice Me

"Bokuto, Are you okay?"

".. Yes, I'm alright. I'm just..panicking I guess." Bokuto replied to his worried mother's question as they get comfortable on their seats in the airplane.

"Well tell me if you need water or anything okay?" His mother said while buckling his seat belts like a big baby and kissing his forehead to calm him down.

"okay thank you mom"

That's it.. I'm actually leaving this country for good. I don't think I'm ready at all.. Even though most of my friends went to the airport to say goodbye, the person I was looking for didn't.. Come.

What was he thinking? He wouldn't answer any of my texts and calls! Agh that stupid handsome face of his!..

Though I haven't thought about an answer after he confessed out of the blue like that.. I never knew Akaashi felt that way about me. I mean he usually calls me idiot after I do something idiotic.. Which I don't find idiotic at all! It's just being smart in my own way. And also, he barely even texts me! If he does, he texts really short stuff like 'hey' and 'ok'. Like it wouldn't kill you to make them a little longer right Akaashi??
...
But oddly.. I love that side of him. He's just really.. Lovable. I wouldn't want Akaashi in any other way.

So do I like the boy too?

Holliperfume? I've heard that before. It was something.. Akaashi mentioned to me.

..
Ah right! It's his favorite perfume brand. I borrowed it from him like a few weeks ago and it smelled so good, no wonder he liked it so much..
Should I buy one of those and deliver it to his house? Maybe then, he'll notice me and reply to my texts..

"are you sure you want to buy one of those and not actually bring them with you?" His mother asked, concerned about his son's sudden decision.

"yes please, I'll be using my own allowance mom." Bokuto proudly said, giving his mom a bright smile that he hasn't given her for a while. This made his mom immediately buy a pack.

"huh? That's too much! I only wanted one mom!"

"it's okay honey, seeing you smile is so much more valuable than my coins. I see this perfume is very important to you or the person you're giving it to.. So I'm allowing you to send these off to that person.. Or should I say him" His mother smirked and giggled after allowing his son to send the branded perfumes to his special someone.

"I guess you know hm?" Bokuto said after seeing his mom giggle.

"well, it was pretty obvious."
