    Summary

    Slowly, dejectedly—because even the brightest starlight gets run over by clouds, sometimes—Bokuto raises his head and looks him in the eye, a beaten heart on his sleeve. “I want to win, Akaashi,” he says, voice strained with bubbling frustration, “I wanted us to crush Kawahori and advance to Nationals, and then I want to win every single match there, too. I want to have fun on the court. I want to give our team my best possible performance ever, and I also want to be good enough to show the world just what we can do, everything we can do. I want all that and more, Akaashi, but it’s just— It's just so damn hard," he continues, "And you know I messed up, multiple times. They learned very quickly to block my cross shots, and apparently, I can’t do anything else other than those.”

    He lets out a small laugh, gloomy and self-deprecating and wrong. “Some ace I am, huh, Akaashi?”

    “Yes,” Akaashi replies, blunt as always. “You are some ace, Bokuto-san.”

    In which Bokuto hides under the table after a loss, and Akaashi decides to join him.

    Summary

    Maybe desire is not a variable at all, but more of an event horizon. Maybe desire is something that occurs in the dark heart of a collapsed star, and maybe you do not notice it until you are atomizing and being ripped apart into nothingness. Maybe Akaashi is flesh and statistic and volleyball and sticky tangerine juice clumsying his hands, and maybe Bokuto is a black hole. Maybe Akaashi never had a choice, and he is better at wanting things than he thought.

    Summary

    He leaned over, kissed Bokuto on the cheek, and smiled bitterly, eyes watery.

    He will never remember. Not now, not ever.

    What they were will now forever be forgotten.
