Work Text:
"Come on.. pick up.." You groaned, staring at your surroundings having found yourself lost after ditching your Uber, the driver was a creep.
"Hey, Hey, Hey! I can't talk right now! Trying to play some ball, record a message after the tone hey?"
You deadpanned, first of all that voicemail was literally the worst thing to enter your ears and second, the little fucker was most likely playing volleyball instead of pay attention to his phone. Why couldn't he be a normal teenager and attach himself to his phone instead of playing games; You growled and called him again, "Pick up your damn phone." You glared at the road in front of you.
"Hey, Hey, Hey!-"
"Gah!" You hung up and started to pace back and forth on the side of the road, crossing your arms while muttering like a psychopath. Panic started to flood your nerves until your phone rang, you made a noise in surprise and glanced at it, starting to calm down when you saw Bokuto's contact come up on the screen, quickly picking up the phone you rubbed the bridge of your nose in stress.
"Hey, I saw you called like four times, what's the problem?" You heard talking in the background and sighed.
"I'm stuck on the side of the road, can you please come pick me up." You pleaded, he seemed to pause.
"Why are you on the street?!"
"I- I left my Uber, the driver was literally chucking red flags at me-"
"Damn it, Y/N!" He was upset, usually he wouldn't but recently you'd noticed how much more protective he would get of you than he used to. "Just.. stay where you are and text me." He told you, you made a sound in agreement and he hung up the phone, the ride home was due to be a long one. You thought about that while texting him just where you thought you were, the fact he was with friends made you feel sick at how he was going to have to leave them or bring them with, you didn't want to be the reason for ruining his time.
You sat down and waited, worried at just how angry Bokuto would be with you, to be fair your driver was crazy, maybe he would understand that. When the car pulled up you looked up, the door slammed shut and Bokuto walked around the front, he stared down and then helped you up, he didn't need to say anything. "..I'm sorry-"
"Don't apologize, come on, lets go home." he helped you in the car and went around the other side, getting in then starting the drive back home.
"He was being a creep.." You muttered.
"I get it Y/N." He says, not looking at you, he took a left turn, paying attention to the road. "..Look. I'm not trying to control you, I just want you to be careful. I care about you a lot." He tells you, finally glancing over, "He was being a freak and you took care of it, but maybe next time try not to get stuck in the middle of nowhere." He breathed, on a regular day, in a regular situation with regular people he wouldn't be this reasonable, but Bokuto was smarter than he let on, he wasn't just some dumb headstrong volleyball player.
You smiled, "I know that Kou." You crossed your legs and put your arm on the console between the two of you.
"Honestly, you're really important to me, if anything happened to you I would lose my shit, no joke." He insists, "Promise me you'll be more careful?" He softened his look even though he wasn't looking and you sighed.
"Yes, I promise." You glanced up seeing there were no buildings, cars or anything really around. "Bokuto?"
"Yep?"
"Look at me." You told him.
"I'm trying to drive Y/N."
"You're fine driving straight, just look at me please?" He sighed and tried to, he would look at you, then at the road and back at you. You reached your right hand over and took his cheek, leaning over and kissing him. He was surprised and continued to look at you for a quick second even after you moved away before glancing at the road and back again.
"What was-.." He kept shifting his gaze to the street and to you, "What was that for?" He was beyond happy as he'd been in love with you for a while, you know how they say after four months it's no longer a crush, it's love? He knew he was in love even before then.
"For taking care of me when you don't need to." You mumbled to him. He was confused and tilted his head a bit at you before looking back. You laughed, "I mean, the past couple years you didn't need to all the time, but you still did." It got silent as he tried to process what you told him. "Okay.. remember when I got hit in the face with a ball and you came over to help me with my nose? You didn't need to, you didn't do it, Komi did." You told him.
"But-"
"But you cared enough that you wanted to help anyway Kou." You stared at him while he drove. It was silent again, you could tell he was about to get emotional. "I really appreciate everything you do and have done for me Bokuto."
"What are you saying...?"
You let out a breathy giggle and leaned back against the seat. "I'm saying I like you, I'm saying I love you and all you do for me... I'm saying I want you to know I'm interested in you." You tell him, he's in shock and pulls over the car suddenly, he put the car in park and shifted to look at you.
"Be my girlfriend?" He offers.
"Wh-what-"
"Sorry- I.. Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked you, he was nervous and clearly anxious stumbling over his words. You blushed and leaned over again, this time climbing over the middle of the car to straddle in his lap, hugging him around his neck tight. He froze and had his hands lifted up, as if he was afraid to touch you. "So.. is that a yes?" He wondered.
"It's a yes Koutarou." You told him, hugging him tighter, he wrapped his arms around your waist and pushed his face into your shoulder. Both of you sat in silence for a moment before you lifted your head and kissed the top of his head, then his forehead, both his cheeks and his lips affectionately, holding his face in your hands. He smiled stupidly and kissed you again, clearly forgetting you were in the car and were supposed to be on your way home until he got a call on his phone from Akaashi. He picked it up and put it on speaker for you.
"Bokuto, where ARE you! You should be here already!" Akaashi rushed him, you laughed nervously and glanced at the phone, then at him.
"Haha- Whoops-"
