“I’m Bokuto,” the ghost said, as if that meant anything of significance. “And who are you?”
“I’m Akaashi.”
“Akaashi,” he said, seeming to mull it over. “A beautiful name for a beautiful mage.”

He did remember, that the fire he felt on court couldn’t compare to the the all-consuming warmth of Bokuto’s lips on his.

Bokuto smiles. “Never,” he whispers back. “You’ve always been the only one in my heart, Keiji.”

A scowl grows on Bokuto’s face at Konoha’s question. How rude.
“Fuck off, dude. At this point, nothing matters when my brain’s too busy thinking about how badly I want to kiss Akaashi!”

“No.”
“Are you sure?”
“No.”
“Are you sure?”
“You’re staring,” Akaashi says, like a warning. Like it would be so embarrassing to be caught, to be seen staring at him.

Colliding with Bokuto’s aspirations and demands, however, broke him into pieces and rebuilt him into someone new.

Akaashi didn’t have the energy to refute that claim when all his essence was fixated on Bokuto Koutarou. The entire world was about to understand how cool Bokuto was, the whole world was about to love him. It was about damn time.

“You think I don’t love you?” It was the first time he heard Akaashi’s voice crack, the calm façade fading. “Do you think I won’t love you because you’re in pain?”

Bokuto snorted, typing both his and Akaashi’s names into it. “Of course I know what AO3 is. And Wattpad. And Fanfiction[dot]net.”
“Your poor fans.”

Bokuto shakes his head. With adoration, he gazes at the Ravenclaw. With devotion, he reaches for his hand, and intertwines their fingers.
“Not anymore.”

“Whoops, sorry, got carried away. I like handshakes.” Idiot, what a stupid thing to say, Bokuto thought to himself.
Akaashi’s lips twitched. “So I can tell. Well, see you around.”

"No, he's—" Akaashi stopped. What was Bokuto? His student? Not exactly. His friend? Maybe. Something undefined and terrifying? Absolutely. "He's a friend."

“I accept, Bokuto. I’ll see you next week, and you’d better have a nice ring ready for me then.”

“Thank you for tonight, Bokuto-San. My name is Akaashi.”
And with that, he escapes.

He feels warm, cozy. Akaashi’s voice has wrapped him up and made him feel safe, secure, calm.

“I will kiss and marry Bokuto-san,” Akaashi said flatly without thinking at all. “I will kill the rest.”

Keiji had to laugh. He wished he could be so blunt. He allowed his hand to settle atop Koutarou’s as he took a seat, and it felt remarkably familiar somehow, as if he was always meant to be here.

And they say romance is dead.

Akaashi shook his head. “We’ve got a practice match in the morning,” he said regretfully. “I’ll miss it if I don’t leave tonight.”
“You don’t need any more practice, you’re already perfect,” Bokuto muttered.
