Chapter Text
Meet Akaashi Keiji, or how the world knows him, Kaashi. A popular singer who is only 21. He gained his fame from his first album called Open 24/7. Since then he has released many other songs that the public have thoroughly enjoyed. When asked about his fame, he gives credits to his good friends Tsukishima and Yamaguchi, his manager and music producer, he said the two have always been there for him and he wouldn't be anywhere without the pair.
Right now Akaashi is sitting on his couch, waiting for a friend to come online. On his computer he has a voice chat open, on his TV minecraft was running. He wore a simple black sweatshirt and his black hair was slightly tousled. On the coffee table next to him where scribbles of songs that either didn't sound right or didn't feel right, hopefully he would think of one soon, he was supposed to meet with Yamaguchi soon to talk about possible ideas for the music in his newest song, and Tsukishima had said it might be good to think of a new one to have too. Akaashi really didn't know what to do and had decided to take a break and hang out with a friend.
Sooner or later his headphones gave a buzz and a familiar voice filled his head. "Hey hey hey! It's nice to play with you again!" Akaashi smiled, the voice belonged to one of his friends he had made online, "Hello Bo, how are you?" Not knowing his really name Akaashi started to call him "Bo" after hearing part of his name yelled from inside his apartment, soon afterwards when Bo wanted to know what he should call Akaashi, he said just to call him "A" not wanting to give way the fact that he was Akaashi. He relished in the fact that Bo was his friend, not because he was famous or anything, but because they happened to meet on a minecraft server around a year ago and had been friends ever since.
"I'm great A!" Bo's loud and energetic voice filled the dark haired man's ears, "I had a great day in class today! The assignment was to do action shots that displayed teamwork without showing any faces so I asked my roommate who was on the volleyball team if I could take pictures of them!" Akaashi had heard about Bo's roommate, a player on his school's volleyball team. Just from being friends Akaashi had learned that Bo was a college senior who was a photography major, his dream job was to be a concert photographer, he also had played volleyball in high school but had always loved photography. That made Akaashi happy when he first learned that, there was a small hope that he would get to meet Bo in real life one day, he had always wondered what it would be like to meet online friends. He had told Bo that he was a songwriter, but nothing more. There was one thing that Akaashi was very grateful for, the fact that Bo had yet to mention that he sounded similar to the artist Kaashi. Bo had said that he listened to some of his songs, but thankfully the microphone helped mask the sound of his voice. So for right now Akaashi was just "A" to Bo.
"That's really cool. How did you do?"
"I haven't gotten back from my professor yet, but hopefully I did well!"
Akaashi smiled, it was nice to hear Bo talk so passionately about something he really enjoyed. It was almost cute, though Akaashi had told himself multiple times that even though he did know Bo online, he really didn't know the real Bo, so no falling for people online. He knew how that went. Akaashi's previous boyfriend was utter hell. It turned out that, one, He never truly loved Akaashi, even though Akaashi thought he did, and two, he was only in it for the money. So Akaashi had swore off dating anyone until he really, truly knew why the person supposedly "loved" him. Turning back to game, the dark haired man spoke,
"So, what do you want to do today? I don't really have a plan."
"Oh! I had a great idea! What if we did a build challenge! I can ask my roomie for a suggestion then he can choose which one is the best!"
Akaashi smirked, "Oh you're on, what's the first one?"
Bo called his roommate who suggested a castle. Soon the gears in Akaashi's brain started to turn. Skimming through the blocks in his inventory he chose cobblestone to give it a more dated feel to it. Soon later Akaashi had a skeleton for the castle, he panned the camera over to see what Bo was doing and his owl avatar was working on a more stereotypical castle with high triangle towers and a moat. It looked pretty good. Turning back to his own design Akaashi went inside to work on the interior, adding a second floor and some lighting. As the hour slowly went by Akaashi and Bo talked about how life was going, Akaashi told his friend that he was working on a song right now but still really didn know where to go with it. Bo jokingly suggested the title of Broken Hearts and Minecraft Bees, his reasoning? Well he said that the minecraft bees are cute and deserve the world, to which Akaashi spawned a whole bunch of bees over by Bo that he somehow made angry and was trying to run from them.
"AH! Ohmygod A! What the hell man!" Bo said in his whiny voice that he would use when something inconvenienced him in the game.
Akaashi laughed, "Still think they're so cute?"
"Yes. Yes I do, they’re square and friend shaped."
The two laughed and went back to building, soon Bo's roommate came back and looked at the two buildings. He ultimately chose Akaashi's because of what the interior looked like, Akaashi heard Bo mock gasp and say something along the lines of, "Betrayed by my own roommate! How dare thee!" and laughter come from his friend.
The two played for a bit while longer until Akaashi had to leave. The two said goodbye and signed off, before picking up his phone to call Yamaguchi, he jotted down a few words.
