Work Text:
Today was Friday. Friday. For some people meant the start of plans. Partying, eating, drinking 'till their hearts content. But for Akaashi, Friday, specifically this Friday meant only one thing: sleeping. As soon as Akaashi got home, he took the longest, warmest bath ever —water bill be fucked!—, moistened every part body —Bokuto loved to comment on the smoothness of his skin—, put the comfiest pijamas he could find, and lay down on his side of the bed, putting his glasses on the nightstand. Finally, he sighed content and closed his eyes.
"Keiji"
Oh no.
"Psss, Keiji!"
Oh, no, no, no.
"Baby..."
This can't be happening.
When he lay down next to his furnace of a boyfriend, he hoped to catch up with the, oh so much, needed sleep. The reviewing of this week manga's chapter was brutal, to put it kindly. He was basically functioning until this very moment with only 3 hours of sleep per day. Akaashi didn't even bothered on doing the math of how many hours in total that was, he could only handle one horror at a time.
Now, the actual horror was that his beautiful, gorgeous boyfriend, was currently dragging him out of Morfeo's arms and making futile all his plans of sleeping soundly.
Well, maybe Akaashi was exaggerating.
It wasn't like tomorrow he had any obligation of waking up early, but still! For him, right now, every minute lost in being awake made the difference.
Although annoyed, he wasn't really mad at Bokuto for wanting attention. Apart for being a normal trait of his personality, Bokuto's off season begun just a few days ago, and the grey-hair man traveled to Tokyo to be next to Akaashi during his free time. But, because of Akaashi's hectic schedule, they weren't able to interact much more than Akaashi crashing in bed at ungodly hours, and in the morning when Bokuto got up to his daily run —"Keiji, being off season doesn't mean I have to slack off!!!"— and made Akaashi's food for the day while the younger one got ready—God bless Bokuto, if he weren't for him, Akaashi knew he wouldn't bother with eating—, only giving each other a little goodbye kiss so Akaashi could run back to his office.
So, Akaashi was actually glad to be accompanied by Bokuto and to be able to sleep by his side all these nights, specially today.
That's it, if Bokuto even let him sleep.
Bokuto had an habit to simply to pillow talk his heart away. Not often enough to be annoying, but often enough to keep Akaashi on his toes at night time.
Akaashi usually found it cute... when he wasn't as tired as right now. His limbs and eyelids felt so heavy that he didn't even flinched to his name being called by Bokuto. If he just pretended to be asleep, maybe he...
Akaashi sighed loudly. No, he couldn't. He wouldn't. He loved Bokuto so much, that the thought of ignoring the love of his life on purpose made his heart ache. For Akaashi, even the most banal information that Bokuto could say to him, was something that Akaashi would hold near his heart. And also, Bokuto would never, ever, ignore him like this either.
"Hmmm, Bokuto-san....?", he mumbled against the pillow, the words barely coming out of his mouth, and felt Bokuto flinch next to him.
"Keiji, you're awake! I almost thought you were asleep with how still you were!", Bokuto explained happily.
Akaashi sighed again. Yeah, he almost thought it too.
"What happened...?", Akaashi inquired lazily, turning around a little bit to have a better look of his boyfriend. His gray hair was down and a little damp, Bokuto liking to shower before sleeping. He was wearing one of Akaashi's ratty t-shirts as pijamas and a pair of black boxers, today was laundry day, and near everything decent was either drying or waiting to be fold. He looked so relax and comfy, that Akaashi even in all his sleepy state felt his heart flutter.
"So", Bokuto started, "on our last play, after the match, Atsumu, Shouyo and I were talking about random stuff, right?"
"What stuff, Bokuto-san...?", Akaashi asked on the hopes of making the conversation go faster.
"So, Hinata saw a news article about this male goose and two black swans that were in a poly relationship! The two swans had lots of babys swans and the goose take care of them like their own!!".
Oh dear, Akaashi did not like the sound of this at all.
"Yes...?", still, he encouraged Bokuto anyway.
"Yes, I looked it up, like, I didn't know that animals could be gay!!! Or lesbian!!!"
"Really?", Akaashi obviously knew this —haven't Bokuto saw any male dogs on the street humping each other...?—, but didn't have it on his heart to cut Bokuto's excitement, sounding so happy to be sharing this new piece information to him.
"Yeees, and listen! So, you know bedbugs right?"
"Yes, Bokuto-san, I know bedbugs"
Akaashi didn't open his eyes, he physically wasn't able to anymore, but felt Bokuto's moving hands, explaining everything in the grandous way he always explain himself.
"So, bed bugs practice 50% of the time homosexuality between males. And they don't have genitalia like ours, nu-uh, bedbugs dicks are more like a needle. Would you imagine having a needle instead of your normal dick??"
"That would definitely make things more complicated between us, Bokuto-san..."
Bokuto laughed loudly, making Akaashi worry slightly about the possible complaints of the neighbors because of the hour.
"So true, 'Ji!", he agreed, snorting and clapping. "Anyway", Akaashi celebrated a little inside him, glad that Bokuto didn't required his help to direct the conversation to the actual point, "sooo, since they have these needle-like-dicks, male bedbugs inject the semen into the females' bloodstream!!!! Isn't that amazing????"
Akaashi could say that he never expected to be at ungodly hours of the night, talking about the reproductive system of bed bugs, but being with Bokuto this long, he could safely say that this wasn't his first rodeo in these kind of... diverse topics.
"Yes, it is really amazing, Bokuto-san...", he whispered, feeling his attention giving in little by little.
"And that's not all, Keiji. Going back to the gay stuff, when a male bedbug injects semen into another male, their semen gets mixed, and if the second one injects a female bedbug, he injects the semen of the two of them into the female's bloodstream!!! It's like, the baby bedbug would have two dads or something!!! Isn't that SO awesome and weird???"
"Hmmm", Akaashi mumbled, not quite following what his boyfriend was saying to him anymore. He heard the word semen thrown around a lot, though.
There was a pregnant silent, and Akaashi, all the most insecure one, thought that maybe Bokuto was mad at him, seeing that he was not paying attention anymore. But instead warn arms wrapped around Akaashi's torso and put his body closer to another. He felt Bokuto rubbing one of his cheeks against his dark hair, and holding him even closer.
"Are you listening, baby?", Bokuto said in the softest voice ever, lips touching lightly the skin of his forehead everytime he moved his mouth. Akaashi felt even more sleepy, but he nodded anyway, cuddling into the natural heat source that was his boyfriend.
"Alright, now, about gay howls..."
Akaashi wanted to say that he indeed listened to every word that came out of Bokuto's mouth that night, but between the arms of his boyfriend, with that incredible soft voice beside his ear, it was impossible to not fall asleep. And oh, how deeply he fell.
