Chapter Text
☆~I never understood the enemies to lovers trope 'till we hit high school. You're an asshole, Bokuto Kotaro, why did you make me fall for you? I don't even remember when I started seeing you differently. Just... let me be the one that makes you smile every morning and every night... Please Kotaro?~☆

"Come on (L/n). What's your problem with Bokuto? You two have been like this since our first year." Konoha Akinori, a third year and a volleyball club member.
"We've always had a problem with each other, Been like this since we were kids. Nothings gonna change." (L/n) (F/n), also a third year and the volleyball club’s personal medic/manager. They weren't lying when they said "Nothings gonna change '', but the universe had other plans for the two childhood enemies.
Konoha was ready to speak again then the lunch bell rang and (F/n) was out of there within a second. They happily walked to Akaashi Keiji's classroom. He was a second year and the volleyball team's setter.
"A-KAA-SHIIIIII!!" That was the only warning poor Akaashi had before being jumped by (F/n). Thankfully he caught them, but quickly placed them back down.
"Hey (L/n), you seem very energetic today. What's the occasion?" Akaashi was very proper while (F/n) wasn't as proper. You two still became rather close as friends, very quickly too.
"What I can't be energe- Oh... Hey." The mood quickly changed from Happy-go-lucky to Thanksgiving with your Homophobic family.
"(F/n) Hey." Bokuto Kotaro. Asshole.
"Wipe that smug smile off your face. Akaashis mine today so back off would you, bird brain?" They weren't lying when they said Akaashi was theirs for the day. Akaashi had promised that he would have lunch outside with them.
"I'm not here to steal Akaashi and I'm NOT a bird brain. I'm just here because the coach wants all the managers to head to the gym after lunch." (F/n) was stubborn and wasn't gonna say 'thanks'. Even if they did, Bokuto is just as stubborn and wouldn't say 'you're welcome'.
"Thank you, Bokuto. Let's go (L/n) we wouldn't want to miss lunch." Akaashi was their bridge. That's how it's been since Akaashi's first year and that's how it will stay. At Least for a bit longer.
~~~~~~~
"You two can't keep this forever. One day someone is either going to fall or hurt the other one so badly it will be an unfixable damage." Akaashi was right on one thing. They couldn't keep it up forever. He couldn't keep it up forever.
"How would one of us fall? We don't care about each other. We make each other's life a living hell." (F/n) was 100% sure Bokuto hated them, but Akaashi makes it hard to be 100% sure anymore.
"The enemies to lovers trope is only in manga and shows. It doesn't actually work like that Akaashi..."
Akaashi has been trying and trying to make them not hate each other. He often tries to find ways for them to all hang out outside of school. It works sometimes, other times Akaashi just gets to hang out with one of them individually.
"You never know (L/n) things can change without you even noticing... I should get back to class before the bell rings. I'll see you at practice." And just like that Akaashi was gone from sight.
"Stop saying things like that Akaashi... I know this can't stay like this forever but I don't want to be the one to hurt him."
~~~~~~~
"(L/n)! How's our favorite medic doing?" I was immediately attacked when I entered, by Suzumeda Kaori. I could see Shirofuku Yukie out of the corner of my eye. She was still snacking on her lunch.
"Im fine im fine. So do either of you know why the coach wanted us here?" Shirofuku let out a rather loud sigh and Suzumeda rubbed her temples.
"Bokuto really didn't tell you... Well anyways All the new uniforms have arrived and the coach wanted us to get them and hand them out. He said he didn't want to waste practice time handing them out."
Shirofuku, despite being the foodie she is, was very clean and mature. Just as she had stated the box came with all the uniforms and jerseys. We took ours out first and then carefully made sure we had everyone's uniform and jersey. Shirofuku and Suzumeda placed the things into 3 boxes,so we could all carry them easier, as I placed our uniforms in our little unofficial manger area.
"Here. I'm pretty sure most of these are the 3rd years minus Akaashi's" Suzumeda handed me a box and I headed towards the main building.
'To Akaashi’s class first, then I'll go up to 3rd years.' As I finally reached his classroom, I knocked and slid open the door before speaking.
"Excuse me, Akaashi Keiji, I have your Volleyball uniform and jersey." The teacher motioned for Akaashi to take his things. He had thanked me and asked no questions even though you could tell he was quite confused on why he was getting them now. With that I made my way upstairs.
"Those girls gave me more than them... I should've known. At Least I don't have to go back right away."
Washio, Sarukui, Komi and now him. I did the same thing as I did for everyone else; Knock, slide, speak...
"Excuse me, Bokuto Kotaro I have your volleyball uniform and jersey." and just as every other teacher did before they motioned for Bokuto to grab his things from the box. Unlike everyone else he had to be the one to ask questions.
"Why are we getting these now? Are we not having practice?" I had to cut him off before another question was asked.
"Yes we are having afternoon practice. Coach doesn't want to take up practice time handing them out. Is that good enough?" He said nothing. He just walked back to his desk and with that I left to go to mine and Konoha's class.
"I'm sorry, excuse me" I said as I entered.
"No need your coach told me you would be helping please take your seat." They continued teaching the lesson. I walked to Konoha's seat, placing the almost empty box on his desk then walking to mine.
'You ass' Is what Konoha mouthed to me. In response I stuck my tongue out at him and turned my focus to the lesson.
~~~~~~~
Final bell rang meaning it was time for practice.
"Here it's the notes you missed from the first half of the lesson."
"Konoha you are an angel sent from above" I wiped a fake tear before placing his notebook in my bag and standing up.
"You can praise me as we walk to the gym. Come on, I'd rather not have the coach yell at us again today." He walked out the room I followed close behind.
"It's your fault you woke up late this morning. I was being a good friend and waiting for you. Where's my praise???" That earned me a punch on the shoulder and a laughing fit broke out between us as we walked to the gym.
He headed towards the locker room and I headed inside the gym to grab my new uniform. I got dressed in the bathroom near the gym and headed back to the gym. Thankfully practice hadn't started yet. Everyone was in the gym except our coach, he always was the last to enter.
~~~~~~~
Practice was almost finished, but it ended just as quickly as it started when the coach entered. Bokuto had hurt himself while spiking. Now he sits with you as you tape his fingers. He spoke words (F/n) had never heard from him before...
"Thank you, (F/n)."
☆~Akaashi said this can't last forever but I'm not ready for it... I'm not ready to find out how we end... Bokuto Kotaro please don't be falling.~☆
