Summary:

Anonymous asked: what's your most painful injury?
Bokuto_Ace: unrequited feelings 👍

"Bokuto and Akaashi are cowards", there, Konoha has said it. But then again, maybe "cowards" is too harsh of a word, maybe he could use "shy" or "hopelessly in love with each other to the point where anyone who meets them immediately knows except them". After a whole year of seeing them pining for each other, Konoha finally has an idea and perhaps Bokuto's CuriousCat fame might work against him.

Notes:

things to know before we start!
- socmeds used in this au are twitter (that i turned into their messaging platform as well) and curiouscat (with the same usernames as their twitter for easy reading)
- mainly focuses on fukurodani with mentions of other haikyuu characters since they are on twitter y'know?
- it's one half konoha's pov and one-half bokuto's pov

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Shit, shit, shit! Bokuto thinks as he races into Fukurodani Academy's gates, the bag slung across his torso bounces harshly with every step he takes, his phone is in his hand showing him the conversation he had with his longtime crush—a year is already a long time, Bokuto decides, especially when he has spent volleyball games and practices trying so hard not to be distracted with Akaashi setting or doing drills, it was a long and harsh year—but when Akaashi took a few seconds too long to type out a response that night, Bokuto rolled over on his bed, staring up at the ceiling in his room wondering what the other boy would say. But then his eyelids drooped, drowsiness pushing them down until Bokuto had relented.

Needless to say, when Bokuto woke up the next morning his mother was already calling him downstairs for breakfast and rays of sunlight were peaking from his curtains. He got ready for school quickly, forgetting breakfast, and hastily bidding his confused parents goodbye as he heads to school.

Where is he? Bokuto thinks, looking down on his phone. He's already added apology after apology and lines of explanation in his and Akaashi's conversation. Bokuto waits outside a second-year classroom where Akaashi's class is, it's still early and clearly Akaashi still hasn't arrived.

Bokuto switches his gaze from his phone when he hears the familiar, "Bokuto-san?" the volleyball team captain turns behind him so fast he almost trips and Akaashi quickly extends his arms forward to help but Bokuto sees this and just as quickly as he turns, he grabs Akaashi's arm and pulls the younger boy towards him in a hug.

"I like you, Akaashi. I like you." He says like a mantra. Says it with his eyes closed hoping he really didn't dream anything up and that he had Akaashi in his arms, his hair tickling Bokuto's left ear reminding him that yes, this is real!

Akaashi chuckles in Bokuto's ear, something Bokuto didn't expect but definitely would remember, Akaashi's arms snake around Bokuto returning the hug, "You fell asleep on me."

"Y-Yeah and I'm sorry! I really am!" Bokuto tries to pull away, to really apologize but Akaashi's hold around him tightens.

"It's fine. But you're going to have to explain that to Konoha-san and the others."

This time Bokuto really did pull away, "You told them?"

"Well, you did fall asleep on me, Bokuto-san. I had to tell someone, y'know?"

Is Akaashi pouting or am I going to heaven? Bokuto thinks.

"Bokuto. Just call me Bokuto. Or, or... Kotaro, if you want."

Akaashi smiles and brings his hands up to Bokuto's hair, his fingers splayed along Bokuto's nape and scalp, "Okay, Kotaro."

Heaven, definitely heaven, Bokuto decides. He's standing in their school hallways holding the most important person in his arms and well, he supposes he has Konoha—anonymous—to thank for.
