two

- middle school -

y/n! wanna come over to my house to do our homework?" bokuto asked the girl while she was putting her books into her bag.

"yeah sure!" and they started to walk to bokutos house. they walked around in a comfortable silence which surprised y/n. usually, bokuto would have started to talk about something irrational or silly.

they reached his house and he took out his keys and opened the door. "i'm home! y/n's here with me and-" he cut himself off when he realized "oh yeah they said they'll both be working late oops" he chuckled. "anyways, y/n make yourself at home like you always do, i'm just gonna go change, grab some snacks and come up to my room" he says as he starts to walk up the stairs.

y/n was familiar with the house layout since she used to come here almost every day when they were little. she entered the kitchen and grabbed some snacks and drinks to have while they work on homework together. they both weren't exactly smart, but they weren't dumb either. they were both pretty good students with definite weaknesses in certain subjects.

she trudged up the stairs and saw bokutos door slightly open. she opened the door to see a shirtless bokuto facing away from y/n trying to put on a sweater over his head. y/n's eyes widened and stared at his back for a while looking at the toned muscles. she was impressed since he was still only in middle school. she has seen him without a shirt plenty of times but for some reason, she felt a strange feeling in her chest that she hasn't felt before.

ignoring that feeling, she coughed, getting the boy's attention as he turned around "oh shoot, sorry y/n didn't see you there haha" he laughed awkwardly pulling down on the sweater.

"it's fine, not much to see anyways" y/n joked,

bokuto looked at her shocked "not much? excuse me young lady but i must say that my body is pretty impressive if i do say so myself" he grinned. y/n laughed.

"okay, okay, whatever. let's just get this over with" they both took out papers and books and started to work.

the two worked in silence only asking questions or clarifying answers. y/n couldn't help but look up every so often to stare at bokutos face as he worked. the way he was so concentrated, his eyes very focused on the work at hand, his rested smile that was plastered on his face. y/n couldn't help but admire him. she felt that strange sensation in her chest again. her face started to feel hot and her breath quickened. she excused herself and went to the washroom.

'gah! what am i thinking? bokuto is just a childhood friend why are you so worked up about it? sure he's cute but-'

y/n snapped herself out of those thoughts and stared at herself in the mirror.

'tch, like he would like someone like me.. he's way out of my league. i'm fine with only being friends with him anyways'

her last thought stung her chest.

she walked out of the bathroom apologizing to bokuto as they continued to do homework. bokuto noticed that y/n was more fidgety ever since she came back from the bathroom. he could see her biting her lip, almost to the point where it bled. he finished the last problem around the same time as y/n.

the male got up and yawned. "man, school sucks..." he pouted and started to stretch due to him sitting down for a long time.

"yeah i know right?" she giggled, she checked the time and gasped "oh jeez, i gotta go home, i still need to do my chores or else my parents will kill me.." she said as she got up and started  packing everything in her bag.

bokuto helped her and lead her downstairs. he stood at the doorway watching y/n walk next door, he waved and shut the door closed.

❀❀❀

y/n walked home alone after school today because bokuto had volleyball practice. she told him that she would wait but he refused and told her to go home. she knew bokuto was a good player but she never really seen him play.

sighing she arrived at her house and headed up to her room. she changed out of her uniform in  a f/c sweater along with black sweats. she went downstairs to grab a snack and ent back up to start on her homework.

an hour later she finished and started texting her friend, konoha. besides bokuto, he was the only other one that made her feel happy inside. she was laughing at a debate that started between the two when she heard her door ring. she told her friend she had to go and headed downstairs, curious as to who was at the door.

she opened the door to reveal bokuto, on the verge of tears, still in his uniform with his gym and school bag slung on him.

"b-bokuto? what happened?" y/n asked cautiously. she knew bokuto wasn't the type of person to break down like that. to everyone, he was always a ball of positive and happy sunshine.

"y- y/n... can.. can we talk?" he says, she agrees and lets him in. he takes a seat on the couch rubbing his eyes. y/n hand him a tissue box and a glass of water. he thanked her.

"bokuto... what's wrong? you can tell me.." her voice was soft, the boy took a deep breath and he spoke "y/n... am i bad at volleyball?".

"what? of course not, i mean i never seen you play a game but from seeing you, practice you are amazing at it!" she exclaimed trying to boost his spirits.

"i was at practice and i kept failing my serves.. when we were playing practice games they wouldn't set to me. as hard as i tried they just don't like me... y/n am i that unlikeable and bad at volleyball?" he trembled.

y/n brought him into her arms and he started to cry. "hey hey hey... don't think that bokuto, i'm sure everyone loves you, you know how to bring everyone's spirits up! as for volleyball, maybe today was a bad day for you, i know that you're the best volleyball player in this school so don't bring yourself down about this okay?" she pulls him away to look at his face, hands on his shoulders.

he looks at her with dejected eyes "y/n... thank you. i don't think i'll survive without you" he smiled slightly.

the girl felt the heat rise onto her cheeks but stayed composed. "of course, anything for you"

after some time, bokuto left to his own home. when she shut the door, the same strange feeling in her chest was present when she was at bokuto's house for homework.

she didn't understand what it was, but it made her feel good? in some way, she smiled and continued with her day.

'what am i gonna do you you bokuto koutarou...'
