AWWW HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! i hope you like it and have an amazing day š
akaashi keiji x gn!reader. fluff!!
you didnāt want to make a big deal out of it, but you were very excited for your birthday.
unfortunately, it fell in the middle of the week that year. your sweet boyfriend keiji had to leave early, but he stirred you with a good morning kiss and left your favorite breakfast laid out in the kitchen when you emerged from the bedroom.
it was delicious, of course, but you couldnāt help but with akaashi was there with you.
your phone dinged with little check in messages and cute images from him all throughout the day. unbeknownst to keiji, heād even provided you with a new phone wallpaper (a cute selfie that he snuck at his desk, his lips tucked into the collar of his sweater and his glasses slightly skewed).
to each one, you spammed heart emojis and āi love yousā that he would heart in return.
a little after lunchtime, you were about to fall asleep on the couch while watching your favorite show when the doorbell rang. after opening the door, you found delivery from your favorite restaurant waiting with a note on the receipt saying āhappy birthday. i love you.ā
when you texted your boyfriend, he feigned innocence for two texts before giving in and asking you to enjoy your meal.
you promptly fell asleep after finishing the first season, completely missing the soft sound of the door opening and closing. you only came to at the gentle brush of akaashiās fingers against your face, tracing lines and dotting features.
āgood morning,ā you mumbled with a sleepy smile, giggling when your boyfriend kissed your nose.
āitās almost time for dinner. iām cooking your favorite. want me to wake you when itās done?ā
shaking your head, you let him pull you up and toward the kitchen, when you wrapped your arms around his chest and leaned into his back. you started dozing to the sound of food on the stove and the warmth radiating from keijiās back before he shifted to transfer the portions onto plates and bowls.
carefully, he shifted to take you into his arms, your chests pressed together now. āsleepy?ā
you hummed, smiling when he kissed your head.
together, he walked you to the table and helped you sit before bringing the food and drinks over. as expected, it was delicious.
you ate quick, leaving plenty of time in the night to cuddle up together and start the second season of your show, when akaashi suddenly reached across the table and grabbed your hand. when you looked at him, you caught a shy blush spread across his cheeks.
he gave your hand a squeeze. āwait here.ā
you waited as he jumped up and rummaged around the kitchen, hidden behind corners and cabinets. not a minute later, he emerged with hands tucked behind his back.
raising a brow, you asked again. āwhat is it?ā
without another work, akaashi placed a small cake, perfect for two, in front of you. as you were admiring the beautiful frosting work, he carefully dropped a present bag beside it, along with a small bouquet of flowers.
you took the flowers, your favorite type and color, from him with sparkles in your eyes as he said, āthey were supposed to be delivered here after you ate breakfast, but i accidentally forgot to change my location to yours. iām sorry.ā
ātheyāre perfect!ā you exclaimed immediately, and they were. āi love them. thank you.ā
blushing, akaashi gestured to the table next. āi picked up that one you mentioned a little while ago. the one we tried at bokutoās? iām not sure if youāll like it, so i have emergency cupcakes in the fridge.ā
giggling, you took his hand and placed a loud kiss onto the back of it. āyouāre too good. this will be perfect!ā
when he still hovered, you looked up again and pulled his hand to your chest. ākei?ā
āum. i want you to open the giftā¦ā
raising a brow at the continued shyness, which wasnāt necessarily common for your boyfriend, you gently placed the flowers to the side and picked up the baggie.
it wasnāt heavy; if fact, you may have assumed if was empty if not for the abundance of tissue paper inside.
removing it, your fingers froze when they brushed against what felt like a piece of paper wrapped in plastic. tugging it out, your jaw dropped to the floor with the package as you stared at the drawing inside.
it was a small series of images, all hand drawn, all by your favorite mangaka.
flipping through, you quickly realized the story it depicted was the one of you and akaashi. the story of how you met.
of course, in typical manga fashion, expressions were exaggerated and important events were decorated with stars and sparkles, but you read it over and over until your vision began to blur with tears.
at the first sniffle, akaashi had your head against his stomach, arms around your head and fingers in your hair. ādo you like it?ā
you placed the story delicately into the table to hug him back, twisting so that you could bury your face into his shirt. āthere better be a ring waiting for me in the bedroom, akaashi keiji.ā
his skin flamed beneath his shirt, and you used the position to pat his butt twice. āi love it. today was absolutely perfect, i promise.ā propping your chin on his stomach, you pursed your lips for a kiss. āi love you.ā
keiji didnāt hesitate to take your face between his hands and crouch down enough to meet you. āi love you too. happy birthday.ā
