Pretty (Akaashi x Reader)

chapter eight

contemplation

akaashi sat cross-legged on his bed with his back against the cool wall, staring down intently at the phone in his hands. his thumbs fidgeted above the keyboard, as he watched the familiar line in the empty text box flash in and out of view. he glanced at the number at the top of the screen, he had yet to allocate a name to said number. it felt like whatever name he typed wouldn't be fitting, like he be tied to that name forever. he sighed heavily and rested his head back against the light blue wall behind him.

he was way, way overthinking this but he couldn't help himself. there was no certainty that (y/n) even wanted to talk to him and she didn't even have his number so he didn't want to seem creepy or obsessive. he lifted his head back up and swiped off the chat with (y/n) and opened up a different one that was filled with years worth of messages. akaashi typed out his message but then paused, he may seriously regret the message he was about to send. but what other choice did he have, he would probably end up never texting (y/n) if it was left up to him. wincing slightly, predicting regret, he pressed send.

to bokuto-san:
can you help me talk to (y/n)?

a reply pinged through almost immediately.

to AKAASHI🏐:
What's The Magic Word?!

akaashi rolled his eyes accompanied by another sign before typing out a quick reply.

to bokuto-san:
please?

to AKAASHI🏐:
OFC Ill Help You!!!!

akaashi smiled slightly, bokuto would do his best to help him even if his advice was not coming from a place from any experience. he swiped off the messaging app and onto a game, expecting another message to pop through from bokuto containing some sort of elaborate and preposterous plan that eventually would be dialled down into a usable one so he could actually speak to (y/n). his phone vibrated as he swiped away at the game, but the notification that popped up at the top of the screen was not one he had expected. it read:

"bokuto-san has created a group chat with you and one other"

akaashi froze and a buzzer sounded from the game he was playing as 'WRONG MOVE' illuminated his screen in big white letters.

a/n little chapter to get back into the flow of things 🙈
