    Summary

    Akaashi was only human. And Bokuto loved like a human. Too much, always bigger than what they could handle, until it was a need rather than a want.

    “I could be with you forever,” was Akaashi’s confession, her sworn oath to this star. Her lips pressed to the calloused hands that had given the heaven’s every thread of colour they have ever desired. It was here, she had made it known: that Akaashi would not be going anywhere. That she was here for Bokuto and Bokuto alone.

    For her faith, Akaashi was made divine, in all her selfishness, in all her human-like faults and flaws, and it was love that made her so. It was Bokuto’s love. Only hers.

    On the seventh day of the seventh month, the story of Orihime and Hikoboshi was uttered along with prayers for clear skies, in the hopes that these two cosmic lovers could be reunited on the only day they were destined to meet.

    Akaashi was not among those that prayed. Instead, she was waiting, still kneeling at the foot of the shrine where her one true love resided.

    Summary

    Akaashi took a breath, willing the rest of the words to come out. He’d been on the opposite side of this conversation enough times to know how it was supposed to go. Those words, spoken by Bokuto at seventeen, nineteen, twenty-two, had hurt enough to linger, timbre and pitch and intensity all burned into the worn-down edges of his memory: Akaashi, I’m seeing someone!

    “Bokuto-san,” he said, his own voice hoarse and cracking. “I’ve been seeing someone.”

    --

    When Akaashi is pursued by one of his literary idols, he wonders if it's finally time to move on from his unrequited love for his best friend.

    Summary

    Outwardly, Keiji is sure he looks as composed as always. Inwardly, Keiji’s at the peak of a rollercoaster, suspended indefinitely before the drop. His insides feel taut: he’s waiting for his stomach to give out, his heart to jump to his throat. In a moment, the piano and violins in the corner will begin playing and everyone will quiet and the officiant will make his way to the altar, followed by Kuroo, followed by—

    And well, this is what Keiji has been bracing himself for.
