Everything's Changed. (Akaashi X Reader)

07

It's been a couple of weeks since you talked to Akaashi that late night, you continued your days like normal and even gotten quite a few messaged from Bokuto to make your move.
You ignored him.

One morning you woke up that morning, feeling happy it was the weekend. The sun shown down on your face as it came in through your window.
You went to sit up but started in a coughing fit.
It was bad this morning.

As you kept coughing and coughing, you felt your throat tighten, and your lungs burn.
You knew...it was time..

You quickly called Bokuto and didn't even bother to try and talk as your coughing wouldn't stop.
More and more you were gagging for air and trying to catch your breath.
You couldn't breathe and you vision was starting to get blurry.
You just hoped that Bokuto answered your phone.

Soon enough, he came knocking at your door, you tried to walk over, only to fall down in the mean time, you were grasping your chest as it hurt so much.
The short breathes were not helping.

You finally got the strength to open the door and Bokuto came flying in.
He grabbed you in his arms and started to run towards the elevator.

Your vision was slowly staring to fade, and darkness was washing over you.

Can't.. Breathe..

But you held on.

"Akaashi call 911!"Bokuto yelled.

Your eyes darted over to a very worried Akaashi who was on the phone.
You gripped your chest again, and the burning sensation wouldn't stop.

Thankfully the coughing stopped but you still couldn't breathe. Only small breathes. At this point you'd pass out soon from lack of oxygen to the brain.

Then soon enough.. You were out.

🍂🍂🍂

Your eyes opened and you noticed you were in a hospital room.
You took a much needed deep breathe as you sat up.

You looked over to see Bokuto and Akaashi talking in the corner.

Akaashi was the one to notice you were awake, he tapped Bokuto's shoulder.

Your eyes met with his golden ones. He smiled.
"Y/n, you're okay!"
He ran to immediately hug you.

You returned the hug weakly.
"I'm okay Bo.. Thank you.."

"Give her some space Bokuto.." Akaashi said, coming up next to him.
He also held a worried look on his face.

"Bokuto, can you give us a minute..."

He nodded and proceeded to leave the room,leaving you and Akaashi alone.

He looked at you. "Bokuto told me...something about a lung disease?"

"COPD.. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.."

"I've heard of that before.. Although he didn't say that much, only said lung problems.."

You chuckled. "Yeah sounds like him..."

Akaashi took a seat in the chair next to you. "How long have you known?"

"Since I was ten, the doctors said it must of been from genetics as one that young doesn't contact it.. But I wouldn't know the real answer.."

He raised an eyebrow at you.

You shook your head remembering that you actually never told the two that you were a foster child.
"I was put up for adoption when I was baby, I never knew my parents.."

He looked away from your e/c eyes.

"Sorry to hear that..."

You shrugged. You sighed as you now realized how cracked your voice sounded. Your throat killed from all the coughing, you searched for water, Akaashi handing you a cup, noticing what you were looking for.

You gave him thankful eyes, as you chugged the water.

"So that explains the stairs.." Akaashi spoke.

You furrowed your eyebrows. "Huh?"

"The first day of classes, I watched you descend the stairs really carefully and slowly.. Well until you fell."

Your cheeks flushed at the memory. "Heh.. Yeah.. Stairs and I don't really mix well.."

"You look good though."

You shot a look to him. "I-"

"I mean for someone who just had a near death experience..."

You shrugged, smiling weakly at him. "Actually this happens a lot... But this morning was the worst it had been...i should of listened to my doctor before..."

"About what?"

You smirked. "Lugging around an oxygen tank.."

He nodded his head slowly. "Why didn't you before?"

"I wanted to feel normal... Look normal for as long as I could..."

He raised a hand to touch yours. He looked into your e/c eyes, he looked as if he was looking beyond you.
"I think you look be-"

"Don't."

He pulled back and looked at you weird.

You shook your head at him.

"Just don't.."

"You didn't even know what I was gonna say.."

"That I look beautiful.. Or some corny shit like that?" You smirked.

Akaashi slouched back in the chair, crossing his arms.

"You can't think of me that way okay?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"You can't fall in love with me Akaashi.."
