Everything's Changed. (Akaashi X Reader)

32

Two years later.

Bokuto's POV.

Today I was on a roll with my spikes. I was landing awesome line shots but as well as cross shots. I felt good.

It's been two years since the passing of my best friend but also my first game being with the MSBY Black Jackle's.

As I landed another spike I heard the crowd cheer my name. It felt great.

I looked up into the stands and caught eyes with Akaashi, he was cheering and I couldn't help but smile as I saw his engagement ring around his finger I gave him gleam.

I continued the game giving my best and landing every spike with every ball that came my way. I couldn't be more happy.

We just won our first set and were taking a break. I took this moment to look around and scope out the people.

I smiled when I saw Yakeru wearing a copy of my jersey. The twins also wearing the same one. They waved to me as we locked eyes. I waved back and gave them a thumbs up. They never missed a game since Y/n passed away. Even if it was just my college games, they were there.

Akaashi and I had stayed close with her family like she asked us to. I played volleyball with Yakeru every chance I got, and now he's going to the same University as I did, playing on the same team I did. I loved the kid like he was my own brother.

Akaashi had become an editor in a Shonen Jump Magazine and had accomplished what he promised Y/n.

He would still watch the video she made for us to say her goodbye and he was always visiting her grave. He missed her and I know that he still loves her. 

I guess the loss of my best friend had opened my eyes in some way. I don't let my emotions take over me and effect how I play anymore, and when I feel like I'm about to explode, I take a breather. She had helped me in so many ways that she didn't even know about.

I missed her too. I missed her smile or when she'd roll her eyes when I'd make a stupid joke. She will always have a special place in my heart and I'll never forget her. 

Her death took a piece of me, as well as Akaashi but in the end, crying and moping around won't bring her back. So instead, I chose to strive like she asked, and become the best ace in the entire world!

The next set was coming close to an end with my team winning. When I jumped up higher than I ever had before and scored the winning point, I felt her presence.

'That one's for you Y/n'

I took a look in the stands one last time as I clenched the Pin on my shirt that Y/n had given me on my birthday. I always wore it to every game I played no matter what. When I did, I always felt her with me, I could still hear her voice cheering me on in my head. That's what made me continue to play.

As I looked up into the stands my body froze. I swore that for a split second, she was right in front of me cheering me on while wearing my Fukurodani number four jersey.
