Stars Align (A Trans!Bokuto x Akaashi Story)

Stars Align

Bokuto was a bit strange. Akaashi knew that.

Those moments where he had extreme mood swings and sudden trips to the vending machine, and the times where he had to sit off practice for reasons he couldn't explain. What the silver crowned captain often told him was because of stomach pains, but something about that seemed really odd.

He didn't take much notice, though. Bokuto was an oddball, sure, but he was a special oddball.

Well, Akashi liked him. From the tips of his hair to the soles of his shoes. And everytime he called out his name, his heart fluttered, like Bokuto was the shooting star that would grant his wish. As cheesy as that sounded, he liked him, and cared for him deeply, even if Bokuto was always beaming like an enthusiastic child.

However, today, something was definitely off.

This time when Akaashi walked up to him, Bokuto seemed uncomfortable, constantly taking breaks to drink water and bending over, holding his lower stomach. Akaashi placed a hand on his shoulder, feeling the former flinch and looked at him, a pair of bright golden eyes meeting his metallic deep teal ones.

"Bokuto-san, are you alright?" The taller man blinked at him, and then grinned, tilting his head. He took both of Akaashi's hands, not minding that they were bigger than his.

"Aww, is good-ol Akaashi worrying about me? Don't worry, I'm fine." He opened his eyes and looked into Akaashi's. He hid a blush that threatened to tint his cheeks. "Actually, I was wondering, you wanna come over? Like, you wanna sleep over?"

Akaashi's heart fluttered as Bokuto's smile beamed giddily. He's been to Bokuto's many times, his parents are really nice and caring for him. He wouldn't dare invite the perfect boy to his home, though. He hesitatingly nodded, blushing slightly and tilting his head. If anything, he picked that up from Bokuto's owl moves, he wasn't quite sure.

"Of course. Why though?" Bokuto shrugged, still looking at Akaashi with a sparkle in his eyes.

"I just want you to sleep over, I want to spend the night with my Akaashi!" His blush deeped. Damn Koutarou- why is he so cute? If anything, the fact he wanted to spend time with him only made Akaashi fall more in love with the man.

Sighing, Akaashi smiled at him, nodding. This led to Bokuto smiling widely, his eyes beaming happily and purely while patting his shoulder, and taking his arm to the side where everyone was close to or already leaving.

After a quick shower and dressing in a light pair of clothes, Akaashi waited for Bokuto, who was- once again- taking a while getting finished. Akaashi waited patiently, fiddling with his hands. Another thing he noted down when he first got close with Bokuto; he always dressed and undressed away from the others, in a stall, next to Akaashi.

"Bokuto-san? Are you ready?"

"Mmmm yep yep! I'm done!" The silver crowned captain rushed up to Akaashi, his hair down and still a bit wet from the shower. Akaashi smiled, turning around and letting him catch up. It took all his might not to pat his head to feel the wet strands of hair around his fingers.

They began walking out. Akaashi told Bokuto that he'll meet him at his house after getting his things, so they parted ways in a corner- after a bit of Bokuto's whining. Once there, he took off his shoes and walked in trying to make the minimalist amount of noise. After a while, however, they heard him.

And by they, he meant hell reincarnated as parents.

"Keiji!? Is that you?" He heard the yell from the corner, making him flinch, already breaking into a cold sweat. "Y-yes, I'm home, but I just have to get my stuff because-" before he could reply, his father yelled again.
