he could think of so many more things he could be doing other than mundanely chatting with acquaintances and friends-of-friends. the loud music and shitty drinks make him want to puke his guts out; being sociable was never one of his strong suits, after all.

yet, just as he’s about to leave, he comes across the girl of his dreams. the girl he had been crushing on for the longest time, the girl in his biology class, sitting on a beat up sofa. 

his friend noticed his lingering gaze on you and interrogates. 

“looks like someone’s caught your eye.”

he turned around, his ears tinged with a blush.

“it’s nothing like that.”

his friend snorted and walked off, presumably to talk to another group of people. with his friend gone, his gaze returned back to you. your face glowed despite the darkness of the room. fluorescent lights danced across the room, and chatter is amongst the crowd, yet all he could focus on was your beauty. 

the thought of leaving the party has been abandoned, not when the girl of his dreams is right before him! he gathered himself up, realizing he was staring at you for far too long; long enough for you to possibly notice him. he turned on his heel and decided to get some water. 

with a bottle of water, he returned to the same spot he was at, looking down at the floor, the ceiling, anywhere but to you. as he was fiddling with his hands, he felt a tap on his shoulder. 

to his utter surprise, it was you, in the flesh. a shy smile was on your lips as you waved at him. 

“hey, you’re in my biology class, right?” 

you started the conversation, noticing how he froze up at your touch. he cleared his throat before responding. 

"um, yeah, i think so." 

he regrets his response immediately. 'i think so?’ what was he on about? he practically noticed you every time he walked into the lecture hall, your face radiant as always. 

you smiled at his response. 

"i was hoping you'd remember, or this would have been weird," you laugh awkwardly. 

the silence between you two was eminent, and he was desperate to break it. before he could speak, though, you started.

"uh- how's the party going for you?" 

he played with the water bottle in his hand. 

"it's alright, i guess. i'm not a fan of parties, my friend just dragged me here, so..." he trailed off. 

you nodded knowingly, agreeing with him. 

"i'm the same as you too, i'm here just because my friend," you point over to the couch, "brought me here." 

you softly laugh and lean closer to his body, your shoulders almost grazing. though the party is as loud as ever, and the lights are blinding, all he could feel was your arm leaning on his, your voice like a melody to his ears. 

maybe he'll start going out to more parties, if it means you'll be there.

you smile, petting his head. "nothing, jus' wanted to kiss you."

"plus, you're so adorable when your glasses get all foggy after i kiss you," you breathe out.

he'll sit outside the fitting rooms, watching you go through handfuls of clothes. you'd walk out the curtain and do a spin, asking how he likes it !

"alex? how do you like this skirt? i like the color, but it might be too short..." you trail off.

ness couldn't care less what you wear tho !! his pretty girl looks good in whatever she wears <3

"i think it's just fine baby!" he'd smile with a lovesick gaze in his eyes, and this cycle continues.

truthfully, he doesn't know the slightest about what colors match your undertone and what type of jewelry suits you, but u manage to pull off anything !!

eventually, the two of you walk out of the store with a bagful of clothes, all paid by ness, ofc !! and, late at night after a long day of walking, you'd waltz into your shared room with a pretty new set on, a little gift for the bestest boy <33

as you were putting on your final touches of makeup, sakura walks into your shared bedroom.

"we got 20 minutes until togame's party, we should probably head out now," he reminds you.

you turn your head towards him, motioning for him to come closer.

"c'mere haru, wanna show you something," you say.

he walks over, grumbling about how you need to hurry. he looks down to your sitting form, waiting. you turn back towards the vanity, grabbing a tube of shimmery lipgloss, and apply it to your lips. sakura watches you turn back towards him with a grin on your face.

"bend down to me," you tell him. sakura rolls his eyes before complying; he'll do whatever you say, though he won't admit it >_< ! he bends down to meet your eyes, only for his lips to be met with yours.

you bring your arms up to his neck, pulling him closer to you, your tongue slipping into his mouth. sakura can feel his entire body burning up, his face practically letting off steam. you finally let go of him,slightly out of breath. sakura opens his mouth first.

"wha-what was that for!?" he exclaims, exasperated. you giggle at his flustered state, admiring how his ears turned a bright shade of pink.

"bought this new lipgloss a couple days ago, and i wanted to see how u liked it!" you smile. he turns his head around, embarrassed.

"it... looks good, i guess," he utters out. you laugh once more before standing up from your vanity, reapplying your lipgloss. as you gather your purse and walk out your shared room, arm in arm, you speak again.

"d'you know what flavor that was?"

sakura falls silent for a moment before responding thoughtfully.

"...cherry?"

you laugh, responding. "it's kiwi, haru."

sakura rolls his eyes, his ears still tinted pink as he squeezes your hand.

"whatever. you taste way better than that stupid lipgloss anyways."

ft. bachira meguru

"i love you" is a special phrase.

it's something said between those who share a deep emotional bond. it's the three words that bachira desperately wants to tell you.

the phrase isn't something that can be thrown around lightly, in bachira's mind. it's something so meaningful, so emotional that he can't bring himself to say it. it's something that's never been said to him besides from his mother.

and don't get him wrong, he doesn't not love you. you're his first and last love. he knows it. he knows he loves you and that you love him. yet the three words have never been uttered by either of you.

because in a corner deep in his mind, he's afraid. he's afraid you'll eventually leave him, like everyone else does. he's afraid that once he shows exactly how devoted he is to you, you'll say you'd had your fun and leave.

he hopes you won't.

bachira has been seeking for the perfect moment to say those three words, "i love you." to you, and he's figured it out now! once he gets out of the bluelock facility, whenever that'll be, he'll take you out on a nice date.

he'll take you out to a nice cafe, then take you on a stroll. he'll bring you to a nice garden, sit down on a bench beside you, and pull you in, finally telling you. he thinks it's the perfect plan, and it really is!

yet, here he is, ruining his ideal plan at the end of the bluelock vs. u-20 game. he's running up to you, who is coming down from the seating area to the field, holding you in an embrace, and whispering into the crook of your neck.

"i love you. god, i love you so much."

the words repeating. he couldn't care less about his plan when you're here, in his arms, saying it back to him.

"i love you too, meguru.”

1:06 PM. you swung the door to For Your Heart open, the soft chime on the door ringing. you half-expected your manager to start chiding you for being 6 minutes late to your shift. instead of your manager’s grating voice, you were greeted with akaashi’s soft voice welcoming you. 

“hey yn,” he smiled, making your heart flutter. you smiled back, making your way to the changing rooms. you collected your thoughts scattered by akaashi’s smile; god, had he always been that pretty? no time to linger on your feelings, you needed to hurry and get to work ! 

you put your bag into your cubby and hurriedly tied your apron walking out the changing room to help out akaashi. by the time you came out of the changing rooms, akaashi was already taking orders. “alright, so one hokkaido milk tea and mango passionfruit green tea?” akaashi asked, confirming your customers’ orders. 

you rolled up your sleeves and got to work, pouring ice into two cups. the couple thanked akaashi, sitting down at a table. “sorry i’m late,” you started, “my lecture ended late, and i was trying to grab lunch on the way but–” akaashi took a cup from you, pouring milk into it. 

“don’t worry, yn. that couple’s the first customers of our shift, it’s no problem,” he assured. “besides that, you said ‘trying to grab lunch’? you didn’t have lunch yet?” he asked.

you laughed nervously, reaching toward the green tea. “not really… it’s fine though, really. i miss lunch all the time anyways…” you trailed off. you focused on making the drink, not noticing akaashi’s worried gaze on you. akaashi finished making his drink and looked over at you finishing up. he was worried, he really was. akaashi had known you since high school, he knew you’d skip meals whenever you were busy. he mentally noted to treat you to lunch every so often.

you ringed up the two drinks, smiling bye to the couple. as soon as the couple left, you sighed to yourself. you’d managed every day you missed lunch, but you’d have to work until 5. maybe a 10 minute break in between, but that was it. you couldn’t wait for your shift to end. akaashi’s ears picked up your sigh, concern in his eyes. “you okay yn?” he asked. 

you looked back at him, giving him a tired smile. “yeah, ‘m just fine,” you replied. “should we turn some music on?” you asked, changing the topic. you could get used to akaashi worrying about you. akaashi smiled back, responding, “yeah, why not?” 

you grabbed your phone from the changing rooms, connecting to the shop’s speakers. browsing through your work playlist, you decided on valentine by laufey, hoping it would lighten the mood. “you like laufey?” akaashi asked. he noticed a light glimmer in your eyes, the topic intriguing you. 

you responded, “i do. her music’s so good, the way she incorporates jazz into pop is so fascinating, and she’s the one that brought jazz into the modern spotlight!” you said, the glimmer in your eyes bright. 

“sorry… i rambled a lot,” you laughed nervously when akaashi didn’t reply. 

akaashi merely gave you a small smile. to him, your voice was dulcet and soft; the sweetest thing he had ever come upon. “i don’t mind. you can talk to me about anything. i like listening to you,” akaashi said. heat rushed to your cheeks, your entire body feeling tingly. akaashi might have seemed like he was keeping his cool, but he was internally freaking out. 

the words spilled out of his mouth before he could even think about it. he hated having to act subtle about his feelings towards you when all he wanted to do was shower you with compliments and keep you close. akaashi’s face was burning up; he had practically told you he loves you ! 

the silence between the two of you was palpable, though not uncomfortable, with both your faces burning and hearts pounding.

3:51 PM. you and akaashi had just finished up a big order, and you bid your customers goodbye. checking the clock, it was almost four ! just one more hour until you could clock out, and even less until the UTokyo volleyball team arrived. 

speaking of them, UTokyo volleyball team consisted of… well… characters. although they were all friendly, they were still quite intimidating. (most of) them being 6 feet tall or over didn’t help. these were the times you were glad your brother, bokuto kotaro, was on the volleyball team, as well as your friends. 

you’d been checking your twitter every few minutes because of the live tweeting of the volleyball match. they were on their last set, UTokyo only needing a few more points until they won. it didn’t matter if they lost, anyways. they had won 3 sets so far, and the opposing team had only won one. it seemed the match would end soon. 

with the volleyball team coming over soon, you mentally combed through everything you had needed to do during your shift. you had cleared and cleaned the tables, restocked the straws, and fed mii… it struck you. mii, For Your Heart’s resident cat hadn’t been fed yet. or that was what you thought. 

once you looked out the shop’s windows, you saw akaashi crouched down putting a bowl out for mii to eat out of. you hurried in front of the main counter, opening the front door of the shop. before going up and talking to akaashi, you snapped a quick picture of him petting mii. (maybe to use for advertisement)

“you were out here, akaashi?” you crouched down behind him, practically startling the poor man.

“uh–yeah, i didn’t think anyone fed her today, so…” he said, his words quiet. 

you smiled. “i’m glad. i just remembered to feed mii, i was worried i was starving her,” you joked. 

akaashi smiled quietly, looking down at mii nibbling at her food. “should we go back in?” he asked, standing up. you reached your hand out to pet mii on her head, smiling. 

you responded, “we should, at least before the volleyball team comes over.” he nodded, watching you stand up. you walked to the door and  held it open for akaashi to walk in, yet he abruptly stopped walking. you looked behind, only for his gaze to be fixed to the ground.

“...keiji,” he murmured. 

you cocked your head to the side. “hm?” his eyes met yours, gleaming with adoration. 

“you can call me keiji, by the way,” he said. your heart swelled with happiness, a shy smile gracing your lips. 

“i will.”

“HEYYY!!! YN!!! KEIJIIII!!!” 

the tender moment was abruptly broken by your older brother’s exclamation. behind him was a group of seven others. you waved to the group with akaashi. kotaro ran up to you two, beaming. “whaddya doin’ outside?” he asked, full of excitement. “oh! you guys know, we won our game today! we won 4-1–isn’t that super cool?!” he exclaimed.

akaashi smiled, nodding. “that’s great, kotaro. we should talk inside, though,” he suggested. kotaro followed promptly, beaming. the rest of the group filed into For Your Heart, the quiet boba shop bustling with excitement. 

in the crowd you saw familiar faces; your brother and his friends kuroo and oikawa, shoyo and his boyfriend friend/your colleague kageyama, your friends and roommates hitoka and kenma, and… some blond guy. you thought you recognized him somewhere, his name was miya atsumu, you recalled. 

half the people in the shop you were barely acquainted with, yet the atmosphere was able to make you feel comfortable. after what seemed to be an eternity, the eight were able to decide on their drinks.      

there were multiple orders of peach green tea, making you smile. ‘maybe i should ask shoyo to advertise our drinks more,’ you thought. what made your smile drop was the next drink on the order list. 

plain milk. no toppings. just plain milk. you immediately knew who ordered this. “looks like kageyama's ordering plain milk again, aka–keiji,” you laughed.

akaashi looked over to you, smiling. “don't judge him for that, maybe he wants strong bones, yn,” he joked. he picked up on your slip up–accidentally calling him akaashi, smiling to himself when thought about how you still called him keiji.

“you done with your orders keiji?” you asked. akaashi nodded, sealing his last drink. 

“almost. getting these drinks done was pretty quick with you though, yn,” he said. 

“yeah, it was,” you replied. 

the drinks were sealed, and you called the eight up for their drinks. you heard multiple “thank you yn"s and “thank you akaashi”s from the group. you smiled, “i'm glad i'm with you, keiji,” you whispered. 

akaashi didn't seem to hear, much to your relief. you grabbed another cup to make your own drink, hurrying so you could tell hitoka everything. you whispered into her ear, “hitoka…” making her jump. 

“yn… don’t sneak up on me like that,” she whined. you let out a laugh before motioning her towards you.

“i’m sorry hitokaaa,” you apologized, “but i need to tell you stuff!” hitoka smiled and turned to survey the room before leaning in. akaashi was on the other side of the room talking to kotaro and kuroo. 

“is it about your little crush on akaa–” you shushed her before she could finish her words. 

“yeah, it is,” you whispered back. hitoka giggled, dragging you to small table with two seats, motioning you to talk while sitting down. “he was so nice to me today hitokaaaa,” you said happily. “oh! you know how we were outside a few minutes ago?” 

hitoka nodded, “yeah, i saw you two,” she said. you took a sip of your drink before continuing. 

“we, well he was feeding mii, and i was about to get back in here, right? you know what he said to me?” you smiled. hitoka gave you a look that told you to continue. you whispered into hitoka’s ear, “he told me i could call him keiji.” hitoka pulled away and smiled, “you guys are too cute.”

“that’s not all,” you told her. she leaned back in, itching to hear more. “i was talking about laufey to him, right?” you continued. “i said something like, ‘sorry for talking so much,’ and he told me it was fine, and that he liked listening to me,” you cheerfully said. 

hitoka’s smile widened impossibly, giggling. “he’s totally in love with you,” she teased. 

you straighted your posture, asking, “you think so?”

“obviously not,” another voice chimed in. it was kenma, one of your best friends, and your biggest hater. 

you frowned, retorting, “shut up, kenma. you don’t get how nicely he told me that!” kenma rolled his eyes, replying, “cool story yn.” he began to walk off to talk to kuroo, before stopping in his tracks.

“tell me more later, ‘kay?” 

hitoka just smiled. “he acts all mean, but he’s rooting for you and him just as much as me and shoyo are,” she reassured you. 

you sighed, shaking your head. “i know, it’s just… why can’t he be nicer about stuff sometimes?” you frown. hitoka pats your hand reassuringly. she smiles, saying, “i can’t wait ‘til the day you two get together so you can prove kenma wrong.” you laugh with hitoka, the conversation drifting away from akaashi. 

on the other side of For Your Heart, kenma moved to another corner of the shop with kuroo, leaving kotaro and akaashi by themselves. kotaro was the one to stir the conversation about you up first. “so… how was your shift with yn?” he asked. 

akaashi fidgeted with the straw of his drink. “uh–normal? i guess,” he hesitated. kotaro pushed, sensing akaashi was hiding something. 

“c’mon, keiji! i know basically everything, you know i don’t care about who yn dates–” kotaro was shushed by akaashi who was looking for anyone who heard. akaashi sighed, looking defeated. 

“if you really want to know,” he started, “we were outside feeding mii, and that’s what you saw. nothing more.” kotaro frowned, looking disappointed. 

“that’s really all you two did? really?” he questioned. akaashi hesitated. should he tell kotaro about what he said? he seemed curious, and akaashi couldn’t let his best friend be deprived of his love life’s details. 

“well, we didn’t do anything physical–not like that,” akaashi clarified, just so kotaro wouldn’t get any thoughts in his head. he continued, “but, i did tell her she could call me keiji. and i accidentally told her i liked her talking…” 

kotaro’s eyes widened impossibly, shaking akaashi by his shoulders. “whaddya mean you told her that!?” he exclaimed. thankfully, the rest of the group was too engrossed in their conversations to hear kotaro’s rather loud interjection. 

akaashi jumped, quick to shush kotaro. “please,” he said, “don’t shout like that, kotaro. everyone will hear.” kotaro apologized, lowering his voice. 

he smiled, patting akaashi on the shoulder, saying, “you two are fit for each other.” he held akaashi firmly by the shoulders, lecturing him. “listen here, keiji. it’s weird saying this about my sister and you, but i think you two are a good match. don’t ever give up on her, ‘kay?” akaashi smiled and nodded. 

“will do, sir.”

“the guys are going out for dinner today, by the way. you’re coming,” kotaro declared. 

akaashi let out a laugh. “of course.”

the ticking clock now read 4:51 PM, almost time for the shift change, and time for you and akaashi to clock out. you two slipped out of your conversations, telling your friends that it was time to tidy up. kotaro and hitoka, as well as the others each filed out of For Your Heart. 

as the new shift came in, you and akaashi packed up your respective cubbies and bid each other goodbye at the front door. you waved to akaashi, smiling, “bye keiji. i hope we get to work together again.” akaashi smiled back, nodding.

“i’ll see you around, yn,” he said. with that, he turned and walked towards the group of guys waiting for him. you walked to hitoka, kenma, and shoyo, turning around to look at akaashi. his gunmetal eyes met yours, looking back at you as well. you stood surprised before giving him a small wave. 

he waved back before turning his back again. as he walked away, you turned once more. the summer breeze was cool on your skin. the breeze made akaashi’s hair flutter as you stood to admire him.

“hurry up yn, or we’ll leave ya behind!” shoyo yelled out. you turned to shoyo and your friends, smiling back at them. 

“i’m coming!”
