    Summary

    Summary

    If Koutarou thinks about it, really really thinks about it, it probably starts something like this:

    "Thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview with us. Now for the last question, your fans wanted to know if you are currently dating anyone?“

    "No.“
    "Not…really, I guess?“
    "Dating? Hm no I haven’t dated anyone in a really long time.“
    "No dates for this one. Everyone! I’m still on the market.“

     

    "But mostly…“
    "To be honest…“
    "Currently…“
    "Just kidding…“

    "I’m focusing on volleyball.“

    Summary

    Akaashi froze, chopsticks hovering midair. His heartbeat stumbled. Oh no.

    The realization didn’t creep in. It slammed. No dramatic music. No epiphany. Just one clean, catastrophic truth dropping into his brain like a brick: I am in love with him. He glanced sideways. Bokuto was laughing again, bright and unbothered. His energy filled the air like sunlight: loud, impossible to ignore, a little too much, but warm in ways Akaashi could never admit.

    Akaashi cleared his throat, focusing on his miso soup with the intensity of a monk contemplating enlightenment. It’s fine, he told himself. You’ll move past it. You’ll compartmentalize, repress, and die peacefully at age 87 having never mentioned it to anyone.

    But then Bokuto nudged his elbow. “Akaashi, you didn’t laugh at my joke. You okay?”

    Akaashi turned, and the sight of Bokuto smiling, made his stomach swoop traitorously. He forced his expression neutral, voice steady. “I was… conserving my energy for practice.”

    Bokuto blinked, then laughed, easy and bright again. “You’re so serious all the time!”

    Akaashi smiled back, betraying nothing. Inside, he was unraveling at a molecular level.
