March 13th

"That's odd, Agaashi! Usually, I'm the one who calls you first!" A cheerful voice exclaims through the other side of the phone.

Uncomfortably, Akaashi scratches his cheek while chewing on his delicious lunch. "W-well... it's because I need advice--"

"You! You need advice from me?! That's a first, Agaaashiiii!!! Yes, come to your senpai for help! I shall help ya!"

Akaashi's face goes deadpan and now he's really considering hanging up and just giving up. However, swallowing up his pride, Akaashi just nods his head.

"So what is it that you need help with?"

Taking a gulp, Akaashi looks down at his hand playing with his fork.

"It's Hikari--"

"You finally realize you have feelings for her?!!?!"

Akaashi's eyes almost pop out of their sockets and he chokes on his saliva.

"W-what?! Why would you say that? I don't have feelings for her!" Akaashi defends as a scarlet blush is present on his cheeks.

"Ehhh? But why not? You guys are married! You're supposed to already have feelings for her before marriage!" Bokuto whines through the phone.

Akaashi is put to silence, knowing that Bokuto was right, but he continues.

"W-well, that's not what I was going to talk about. What I was going to say was, I think Hikari's mad at me."

"Heeeeeeh??? What did you do, Akaashi? Hikari-chan is very nice!"

Akaashi was about done with Bokuto's whininess, but he wasn't entirely wrong with this statement. Akaashi knew himself that he had messed up really badly.

"W-well, yesterday was our... first a-a-anniv--"

'Why am I having a hard time saying it?' he thinks to himself and flushes. "We were going to celebrate the day we got married yesterday, but I forgot and didn't come to dinner. I was wondering how I should apologize to her," he finishes.

Bokuto goes silent and it scares Akaashi. He would prefer a nagging and whiny Bokuto rather than a quiet one. If Bokuto was quiet, it totally meant Akaashi was in deep trouble. Sweat was starting to fall down his neck and into his button up as he waited for Bokuto to speak.

"Bo--"

"Did you really just forget, Akaashi?" Bokuto seriously asks sending shivers down Akaashi's spine.

Swallowing his saliva, he nods. "Yes, I forgot."

"And she waited for you?"

"P-probably. She always does," Akaashi whispers.

Sighing, Bokuto rubs his forehead in distress. "You really, really messed up this time," is the only thing Bokuto says. "Knowing Hikari-chan, she's probably already forgiven you; that's just how she is, but it doesn't mean that she is not really hurt." Thinking back, Bokuto remembers a conversation he had with Hikari and sadly smiles. "If you don't like her, Akaashi, then you should tell her and maybe cut off this marriage," Bokuto suddenly suggests.

Akaashi's eyes widen and he almost drops his phone. Bokuto was also surprised by his own statement, but it was true. He always knew how torturing it must've been for Hikari in the relationship. A girl who was deeply in love with someone who neglected those feelings.

"W-what?" Akaashi forces a laugh. "Are you joking, Bokuto-san? Did I really do something that bad that it can't be fixed?"

A weird sensation starts boiling in Akaashi's body and he feels his entire body shaking.
