~Akaashi~

He was lying in bed, staring at his ceiling as his mind went about a million miles per hour. He had nothing to be worrying about, really. Bokuto had gotten out before the sun rose. His parents were acting normal. Everything was normal.

Yet he couldn't really shake this annoying ass nagging feeling that was making his heart beat a little faster than it should be. Maybe it's just because he's keeping something from his parents. He's not lying to them, they haven't asked him anything he hasn't answered truthfully. There is no specific rule about having people over late at night—there aren't really rules in general.

Yet Akaashi couldn't get rid of the feeling and he couldn't not focus on it. Well, that's not technically true. But if Akaashi decides to focus on something other than this anxious and slightly guilty feeling he has, he'll be completely panicking over tonight.

He's never really planned a date before.

He's never felt this way about someone before.

He's not sure which feeling he prefers at this moment but he doesn't get a chance since then his phone is buzzing beside his head where it is resting, face down on his mattress. The sudden noise makes him jump a bit, the anticipation of the notification he might be receiving definitely not helping.

God this is really really bad.

He hates how quickly he is reaching for his phone to check. And he hates how his heartbeat stutters as the boy's name on his Lock Screen.

Fuck. Fuck.

He opens the message before his brain has a chance to think. Whether that's to contemplate how utterly fucked Akaashi is or coerce himself into doing something idiotic, he doesnt know. He doesn't let his mind decide.
