You rustled through your pocket, trying to find your keys to get into your apartment. As you pulled them out of your pocket, a small piece of paper floated to the ground. At first, you thought it was a small piece of trash you forgot to throw away, but you quickly noticed how it was folded neatly.
You picked it up, unfolding it to see a phone number written on it.
You stared at it, confused. When did this fall into your pocket?
You hadn't worn this jacket since your night out, and you hadn't checked the pockets except for when you took out the good luck charm Bokuto gave you. But you hadn't noticed this being there, despite it being the same pocket. You figured you could've missed it since it was such a small piece of paper.
As you entered your apartment, you typed the number into your messages and sent a 'hi it's y/n' to whoever left you their number. You were sure it had to be Bokuto by default. You had no reason to think otherwise. But it had been a few days, so what were the chances he was still in town.
You slipped out of your forest green midi skirt and your off-white turtleneck, leaving you in only your under garments and stockings. You release your hair from the tight ponytail, and gently started to brush through.
You then heard a chime from your cellphone. Your heart skipped a beat, excited as to who it could be from. You still hadn't heard from Akaashi, either.
You checked to see that the message was from the unknown number.
xxxxxxxxxxx hey! i was starting to think you didn't want to talk to me
y/n ... and this is?
You felt like playing dumb for just a second, on the off chance that your gut feeling was wrong.
xxxxxxxxxxx bokuto :(
You giggled as you threw yourself on your bed. The little sad face emoji was adorable to you, almost childish. You hoped you didn't totally offend him.
y/n thought so :) what are u up to?
You rolled over onto your back and entered Bokuto into your phone. You pushed yourself off the bed and changed into an oversized t-shirt and pajama shorts.
You check your phone as another message comes in.
bokuto just finished practice. you hungry?
You stood there, staring at yourself in the mirror. Was he asking if you wanted to get something? You responded with a 'yeah why' and immediately started to rummage through your drawers for something to wear. On the off chance he was asking, you wanted to be ready.
You threw on some high waisted leggings and tied your shirt in a knot in the front, and a sweater cardigan over it so you didn't look too underdressed. You tied your hair back again, and touched up what little makeup you had on.
As you looked at yourself in the reflection, you wondered if it'd be all for nothing and that you got your hopes up. Deep down, you were hoping to see him again.
bokuto wanna get food?
Your heartbeat picked up it's pace. You immediately responded yes and waited for a meeting spot.
Maybe your lucky talisman was working.

His laughter was contagious, and you could feel your sides hurting from laughing so much. Bokuto was telling stories on his teammates, and all of the insane shenanigans they get into, while he walked you home.
You met up with Bokuto at a local ramen shop conveniently not far from your apartment. The conversation was never dull, and it was almost exhausting keeping up with his energy. You couldn't believe how animated he was after spending hours before playing volleyball. You had to imagine that he would crash the moment he hit the pillow, because you knew you would after a night out with him.
But, you could honestly listen to him all night, rattle on about volleyball or complete nonsense.
As you neared your apartment, you noticed that Bokuto's enthusiasm has died down a bit. You caught a glimpse of Bokuto out of the corner of your eye. He looked up at the night sky, admiring it. It had been the first night in a while that it wasn't cloudy.
Suddenly, you felt a light touch on the back of your hand. Slowly, Bokuto intertwined his calloused fingers with yours.
As usual, you could feel the heat rise to your cheeks. You turned your head slightly to not let Bokuto see. However, before you realized it, Bokuto slowed his pace down a bit, and pulled you back, turning you around to face him. You felt his other hand find your hip. He brought his lips inches away from yours. His eyes, only slightly open, explored the features of your face before fixating on your eyes.
You knew if he kissed you, it would be the end for you. When you fell, you fell hard, and it wasn't something you were proud of. You wanted to keep Bokuto around as long as you could, you didn't want to ruin it with stronger feelings than you already had. Even though, your desire for him was intensifying. Each thought fought in your mind as to what you really wanted. You knew your want for him would end up winning.
"I had fun tonight," He whispered, before delicately placing his lips on yours. You could feel your body tense slightly, before completely letting go.
The kiss lingered, but never deepened. It was almost restrained, like he didn't want to ruin the moment. As he broke the kiss, a sigh slipped out from between Bokuto's lips, as though releasing the anticipation he felt before he made his move.
"Good night, Y/n," Bokuto said, his hand lingering in yours before ultimately letting you go.
