{IT WAS ALWAYS YOU} Akaashi x Fem!Reader

𝐾𝑒𝑒𝑝𝑠𝑎𝑘𝑒

The next day at lunch was a bit awkward. Akaashi kept his distance from you and, although he's typically quiet, kept his mouth shut unless Bokuto continuously bothered him to answer. 

"Hey Ke- Akaashi?" 

Akaashi looks up at you with a hint of anger but waited patiently for you to speak since it was one of the only times you talked to him today.

"Can I still come over after school to study? I don't want to be pushy if you rather not it's fine I can-"

"Yes," he replies abruptly, making the rest of your words freeze from exiting your mouth.

Your stomach begins doing flips internally at his words. You aren't really sure what's going on but you're glad Akaashi still wants to be around you.

"Bye Kou!" you wave to your friend as you walk off the school's campus with Akaashi.

As the two of you begin walking, Akaashi doesn't say a word. You're sure that he's having an off day but it's still difficult for you to figure out why. Possibly something about him not liking you dating Atsumu for whatever reason. You don't blame him though, as you feel something is off about the Miya boy as well. You then look over at Akaashi and see him staring disappointedly at the ground. 

"So thanks for letting me come over you're seriously the best tutor ever," you brightly exclaim to catch his attention.

Akaashi still doesn't respond so you stand in front of him and start walking backwards, immediately catching his attention.

"And you don't go into any emo modes like Kou does," you say while putting on your best impression of Bokuto's pout.

While your friend is looking at you now, he still keeps up his sad look without a response.

"So what is it that's bothering you?" you finally ask.

Akaashi stops walking, causing you to do the same as you awkwardly wait for an answer.

"What's going on between you and Atsumu?"

I guess before my memories were lost I never told him I was going out with Tsumu.

"Well I dunno he's my boyfriend I guess but there's not much to say about it," you shrug.

You watch as Akaashi's attitude shifts back to pure rage like when he caught you with Atsumu yesterday.

"What's your deal with Tsumu anyway?" you ask bluntly.

"Do you have feelings for him?"

"Huhhh?" your voice squeaks as you respond.

You look at your friend, trying to figure out what he's getting at and confused as to why he even cares. 

I know I used to have strong feelings towards Akaashi but nothing happened so I guess I'm supposed to have moved on to Tsumu.

"To be honest Ke- Akaashi, Tsumu said he loved me but I didn't know what to do so I didn't say it back."

You feel Akaashi's eyes burn into your own as he hears the words come out of your mouth. You watch as his lips part, almost about to say something, but then resume his usual sad mood of the day and walk past you.

At Akaashi's house the two of you study for awhile, trying to ignore the tension between the pair of you, until Akaashi's mom calls for dinner. Like the rest of the day, Akaashi keeps quiet and you pick up small talk with his parents who are already aware of your situation.
