Today was the final day. 

We began packing up everything in our bus as I was helping the managers with loading the drinks and bags in, while the others were getting cleaned and showered before leaving. 

I went back to the gym to get my sports bag and noticed a letter on top of it. "Huh? What's this?" I asked myself as I tilted my head and picked it up and examined it before opening it and reading the note inside.

'Y/n, 

There is something I want to tell you that is really important before you go, please meet me under the cherry blossom tree, just on the left courtyard outside the building.'

"hmmm... Maybe I should meet them.." I said to myself. Wouldn't want to disappoint them..." I stuffed the letter in my pocket and picked my bag up as I headed outside to the bus. Everyone was going inside the bus by now as I walked to Coach Ukai, informing him that I was going back to the dorms to make sure I didn't leave any of my belongs before walking off. 

Now... which Cherry tree was it?

Ah, who cares, I'll just wait under one of them... I walked down the path to one of the school courtyard and waited under the biggest cherry tree as I hummed to myself, watching the pinkish leaves and petals fall from the bright colored tree. It was beautiful really, I never really got a chance to see these during my trips to Japan before in my real world...

I perked up a bit as I heard footsteps behind me and stopped just a few meters away. 

"You're the one who wanted to meet me-" I stopped in mid sentence from the moment I turned around to see who it was. "...here.."

Bokuto stood there fidgeting and fiddling with his fingers. "N-No?! I-I mean y-yes! I-I mean!! P-probably?!" He stuttered and having his voice crack somewhere in his sentence.

"Oh... well, your letter said you wanted to tell me something important?" I said holding the letter for him to see as his face turned red. "What was it you wanted to talk about?" 

"I-I.. well!! You see! I-! Hmmm!" Bokuto shouted his words as though he was struggling to find what he wanted to say. I stood there with my arms crossed a bit.

"Bokuto, if its something not important, we're just wasting time on getting back to our buses, the others might start looking for us and-"

"I LIKE YOU Y/N L/N!!!" He yelled out so loudly I actually flinched from his yell before I began to process what he said. 

Did he just... confess?

"... Que?" I asked blinking in confusion.

"I don't know what you just said but... Y-Y/n! I-I really like you! Like... SUPER Like you!! Extraordinary like you!!!" Bokuto blurted out as his face continued to go even more red as though he wasn't giving himself time to breath in air. 

"Bokuto-san," I began.

"S-Sorry!! W-Was it too sudden?! I-I'm not really the best in expressing my f-feelings to someone without feeling embarrassed!!!" He interrupted.

"Okay, but can you let me spe-"

"I-It's understandable you wouldn't like someone as loud and obnoxious like me!!! Er... K-Kenma's words not mine ehehe!!" 

"Bokuto-san let me-"

"S-Sorry to waste your time like this Y/n-chan!! I'll just-!"

"BOI IF YOU INTERRUPT ME ONE MORE TIME, I'M GONNA SLAP THE THAT DADDY BOOTY OF YOURS TO A FLAT BOOTY.." I said as Bokuto suddenly clamps his mouth shut. "..Thank you. Now... As I was saying, I appreciate your honesty Bokuto-san, I really do... but I'm just not ready for those things at the moment while I'm still thinking about romance."

"...Oh... is that a... you know... rejection..?" Bokuto asked as his usual loud and very optimistic tone suddenly lowered down to a quieter tone. his spiky hair slumped down a bit, exaggerating and showing his current emotion.

Oh shit, Bokuto's emo phase...

"Bokuto-san.. that's not what I.." I began as guilt swarmed my heart, "It's just... It's just that I... never really had a romantic relationship with anyone.. or even actually care about romance since my focus had always been in my studies and sports..." I explained in a better term, hoping that this one will help him understand my current situation about others chasing after me as well. 

If I pick Bokuto now, I'm sure some of them are confident enough to try and ruin the relationship if I get together with Bokuto. 

"You understand right?" I asked again as we looked at each other in silence.

He stood up straight once more and his hair went back the way it was before grinning at me. "So you're not gonna reject my confession?!"

"I..." Well shit I'm in a hole now. 

Before I could speak, Hinata came running up to us, yelling my name and telling me, that the bus is ready to leave. 

"Oh, would you look at that! I should really get going Bokuto-san," I said to him as I walked pass him... though I stopped for a moment and looked back to him. "And... don't worry, I won't be rejecting your confession... but I will have to think about it. Time and patience Bokuto-san, time and patience."

With that I gave his a korean heart gesture and sent it flying to him before jogging over to Hinata as we ran down the path to get back to the bus.

Third Person POV:

Bokuto stood there for a moment before the blush crept up on is face. "...A-At least he didn't reject me right..? No! I can't think that! I'll make sure he won't reject me! I'm going to impress him with a lot of things and sweep him off his feet!!" 

He was very well aware that the others in training camp had their eyes set on Y/n. Especially his own team... Though he can't blame them, everyone was trying to impress Y/n with so many things, even tried to show off as well like he does too.

"I'll be sure to make him fall for me and me only!" He yelled to the sky.

"Bokuto-san, the bus is leaving.." Akaashi said as he had just appeared out of nowhere beside Bokuto, causing the boy to jump in the air.

"A-AKAASHI!!! Don't scare me like that!!" He complained.

"You were too caught up yelling incoherent words you didn't hear me the first time." Akaashi said as he walked ahead and Bokuto following behind him.

They walked in silence as Bokuto seemed to notice Akaashi had his hands behind his back, creating hand gestures and signs... 

Bokuto only picked up a few of them since he studied Akaashi's gestures and sign language most of the time during practice or matches.

'..Know....winner... heart..' Bokuto thought to himself as he watched Akaashi repeat the gesture. 

He doesn't have a big brain when it comes to thinking... but just now, he seemed to understand what Akaashi was trying to tell him in silence.

We know who the winner is to Y/n's heart..

Bokuto's golden eyes gleamed a bit as he looked at the back of Akaashi's head. "Just you wait, I'll make sure Baby owl is mine~"

Akaashi continued to walk as they reached their bus as he stepped inside first but stopped on the second step to look at Bokuto square in his eyes. "....We'll see Bokuto-san.. we'll see.."
