To the garden out in the back.". I'll see you soon.]. Akaashi watched curiously as Bokuto's lips quivered into a wide grin, and as the light captured his features, Akaashi realized just how embarrassed Bokuto actually was. His eyes gave away just how much he missed his friend. Kuroo echoed the words in agreement. "I know." Bokuto only complied and stuck his entire arm out instead, watching as each individual snowflake passed around his limb, as if none wanted to touch him. Akaashi's eyes widened slightly, and his eyebrows knit together in surprise. And so he continued to try and grasp sleep, expecting nothing from the noise. Akaashi couldn't help but almost smile back, his lips barely twitching. Akaashi literally found nothing special about Bokuto. Akaashi.". They go back a couple of years.". "I was drowning." It was the weakest sound Akaashi had ever heard. Bokuto stared at the screen with interested eyes, wondering what the content would consist of. Bokuto smiled wide to those words. "I was the team captain, and the ace." Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. It reminded him of his home Bokuto nearly bumped into Akaashi as he stopped to enter his room. All he wanted was to see Bokuto again, even if just for a second. I think you'd better leave 'em both alone.". Akaashi didn't want to bring up the fact that Bokuto probably would no longer possess the ability to walk by the time any snow did get a chance to fall, so he kept his mouth shut. "Of course. Bokuto's answer was delayed. When he'd finally found him, those shining eyes of his lit up just a little more than usual. Akaashi snorted softly and leaned back in his seat. Things could be worse. He made his way up the same path, walking swiftly and without pause. Akaashi watched him and zipped up his jacket. Akaashi's parents were intent on having him intern in a hospital nearby, so that he could stockpile more things that would look . "What used to be your position back when you would play?" ", Bokuto snorted. "The three hours!" He reached a hand out and touched Bokuto's forehead. Despite him being the one who asked, Bokuto held onto it tightly. No one. His yellow eyes stared at the screen intently. His movements were uncoordinated and slow, and the only sounds he could manage were meek and most of the time inaudible. When you're around him, you help him forget.". Again, he felt the light tapping against his arm. I thought it was what you wanted". "Get inside." He just didn't want to accept it. All I have to say is that this fucking broke me. Stuffing his phone in his pocket, Akaashi shrugged. Why did he lack the understanding of just how serious his condition was? Anything is fine." Akaashi continued to read on. He forced those words away and replaced them with new ones. Pulling his laptop close, Akaashi smoothed his finger along the mouse pad. Pretty much the only thing wrong with me is that I can't sleep!]. He turned around. The movie was well over two hours in, nearing its end, and Bokuto lay on his side, curled up and clutching the blanket with what little strength he had left. He dreamt of nothing in particular that night. He swore without a filter. "Why are you standing? "Give me a break here." My last memory of Bokuto will not be of him sharply dressed, pale, stiff, and stuffed in a casket, surrounded by a countless amount of people who did not care for him at all until the day they heard about his death. Akaashi reached his hand up to rub the back of his neck roughly, administering a feeling of discomfort to one area in order to ignore the pain that threatened to swallow his heart. "Come." Managing a miserable smile, Akaashi roughly rubbed his palm with his thumb. "I've been cooped up in this place for too long. ", Bokuto pulled away to face his smirking friend. "I said come." Lying next to Akaashi, a ghostly pale Bokuto smiled. He drags you back in. Akaashi had nothing else to say. stardustcrusader28 i would have to research more about the disease, but bokuto was probably suffering all that day, slowly decaying more and more until he couldn't sustain himself anymore and passed away. There was only blackness. Before then, he would normally lose several pounds a week, but ever since the night he'd snuck out, his weight loss could only be described as alarming. It had been sent two hours ago. Did you just Say that to yourself?". They settled there, deeming Bokuto one of them for the remainder of their frozen lives before they eventually melted or fell away. "Yeah, I'm-," He turned his head, "Is there someone in there?" I was in tears for most of the hours it took me to read it, and when I finished, I legitimately sobbed so hard I woke up sick the next morning. An embarrassed chuckle escaped him. He waited for an answer, but did not receive one. Kuroo." Akaashi shifted in his seat, now timid. His voice was full of excitement as he proceeded to enter the name for his new contact. Hunter's new YA thriller about a girl who learns that she may have been kidnapped as a child, and must race to uncover the truth about her past before she winds up a victim. Bokuto didn't allow him to finish his sentence as he embraced Akaashi suddenly. It took all of his power not to flinch when he'd felt the unfamiliar touch. Pursing his lips timidly, Akaashi ceased to speak. I can still walk around and get to where I have to go! With what little strength he had left, Bokuto beamed. Out there, the sickly one trembled like a new born animal, even with the extra jacket that Akaashi had offered him. I recommended this book to my friend Sophia, and she cried too. btw, HERES THE DISCORD SERVER!! "Didn't that come off as remotely funny? Everything was neat and placed perfectly here and there, giving Akaashi's house a warm atmosphere to it. He said in a hushed voice. His quiet chuckle was louder than Bokuto's wholehearted laugh. i'm in spain but the s is silent. Akaashi watched as one of Bokuto's hands twitched involuntarily, and to his dismay, it wouldn't stop. Feeling that it would be rude to interrupt Bokuto's conversation with whoever the other person was, Akaashi strode over to the seats and sat one chair away from the gaming stranger. Akaashi exhaled quickly through his nose, making a sound that was almost like a laugh. Akaashi groaned softly and covered his face. I'm not sick, but this place makes me feel like I am." ", "Kenma is fine." It would hurt if he did. For every time Akaashi would witness this, his mind would repeat one phrase, whether he wanted to hear it or not. You shouldn't be-". i'm internally SOBBING. He understood where Akaashi was coming from and didn't even think of holding his icy tone against him. i literally have never watched a single episode of this anime nor do i have any emotional connection to these characters but wow this is a really pretty and well-written fanfic. The light that came from outside reflected off of Bokuto's teardrops, lighting his face up in the most gentle of ways. "Yeah." He faked a smile. They felt mandatory now. He was wasting time, asking for something that he did not want in the least. He didn't want to. He pressed pause on his PSP and tapped one end of it against his open palm. And with that glint came his smile. It had been so long since he'd heard something so loud. He jogged downstairs, slipped his shoes on, and was out the door in seconds, making his way down the familiar route to the hospital. i dont normally include fanfics but i read this one months ago and every time i remember it, i sob uncontrollably so i felt like it deserved a place on my profile, T-T. Is it weird to say that this is my comfort fic?? Bokuto whispered. Then I'll have to walk you to the hospital before the doctors find out you're missing and lose their minds. Bokuto resisted, standing firm in place. This did not faze him, however, as Bokuto only closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, allowing the burn of the winter air to fill his lungs. I'll be sure to bring my laptop when I visit. I was actually thinking of taking my leave soon, as well-", "What? His eyes stared forward, uninterested in the information desk several meters from him. "No, no, no, no-" He pulled away from the windowsill and ran out of his room, straight downstairs and to the front door. "You're too loud, be quiet." And here he is". "Akaashi?" "Of course I don't. "Come on" Akaashi reached a hand out to help Bokuto to his feet. Bokuto's laughter died down and he closed his eyes. After a moment of trying to gather himself, Bokuto choked out two simple words with quivering lips. It was the longest minute he'd ever been forced to sit through. He figured he would tell his parents that the people in the hospital were too occupied with everything else to tend to him. He nudged the bridge of his nose against the cool skin. He entered his number swiftly, and then handed the phone to Bokuto, the name section empty. He started on his way without so much as a second glance in the other's direction. Akaashi shrugged. They made him feel nauseous to a point where he had to sit up in bed and swallow deep, slow breaths in order to cool himself down, and he did just that, reaching his hands up to rub at his eyes before taking a tense look around his room. It lit Bokuto's face up just enough for Akaashi to take in those healthy features that were staring back at him. You like volleyball too?! This is one of the best fics, no, pieces of writing full stop that I've ever read! But even so, Bokuto still suffered from trembling spells, and they would come in small, short bursts and last only several seconds before his body became too weak to keep it up. This time, a weak sound left Bokuto's throat through a closed mouth, and he nodded. Healthy. He swallowed thick, and turned his head to stare out the window again. Once there, Bokuto pulled his hand from Akaashi's and leaned it against the windowsill. There was almost a hint of sarcasm in his voice. more depressing than the outsiders. He lost the ability to walk a little more than a week ago. "Okay." Bokuto's smile never left his face, and his tired eyelids contradicted his facial expression. He kept himself against Bokuto and held onto him with what little strength he had left in him. They asked him questions. Bokuto reached up a cold, frail hand to wipe at the mess that was his face. He held his breath, then proceeded to ask again. In no time, Bokuto was standing in front of Akaashi, eager in every way to make it to the gymnasium. Whole. Very happy to have met you. While we've done our best to make the core functionality of this site accessible without javascript, it will work better with it enabled. I would like that. "I spoke to Kuroo most of the time, so it doesn't count.". The main cause was identified as animal feed including meat and bone meal (MBM) from rendered, and in some cases infected, cows. He exerted more force into his arms, getting Bokuto to take a step back. Bokuto found himself smiling. He could feel Bokuto's chin rubbing against the top of his head, like it always did. Reading it at 3am didn't help either because I was just crying in front of my phone screen until the sun rose. Feeling an amount of guilt build up within his chest, Akaashi pulled out his phone just as quickly as he'd hid it away. "Well now you have. People with dissociative disorders escape reality in ways that are involuntary and unhealthy and cause problems with functioning in everyday life. their spirits found each other again as they moved on to "another life". Akaashi frowned deeply. "I'm going straight to sleep.". Left.". The sky was already black. Akaashi blinked slowly. It was one of those "White days", as Bokuto liked to call them, so he paid much more attention to the world beyond the glass than he did to his own confined life in the hospital. Akaashi was glad to have made it in time. Very long. His frustration was unmasked. Everyone came to an unspoken agreement after the one sentence. He feared he wouldn't be able to pull himself out of this state, but then it occurred to him that he was not alone in this. So he didn't care anymore. He couldn't face him. externally i'm smiling probably because i'm trying to hide all those FEELS. His face glowed the quietest shade of red, and he tried to hide it from Akaashi. The practice of. My face was the only thing sticking out." Why the hell did this have to happen to him? He looked at the message Bokuto had sent him the night before. With a heavy heart, he spoke. Akaashi spoke in a calm, slow voice. "I don't Want you to Watch me decay. He stared at him intently and watched every move he made, to the point where this had captured Akaashi's attention. He spoke just loudly enough for Bokuto to hear him. ", Shrugging one shoulder, Akaashi grabbed his phone. Stretching out a trembling arm, Akaashi took hold of Bokuto's hand. He squeezed Akaashi, mashing him closer until he could barely breathe. Akaashi closed his eyes and heaved out a sigh, feeling more and more hopeless with each passing second. and inhaled with frailty. "You've had two panic attacks this week already, and your hallucinations are getting worse. Sometimes when I blink you aren't there anymore" Bokuto rubbed one of his eyes, then the other, and let his hand drop to his sides. Bokuto lay there glass-eyed, his welled up tears glinting in the dim lighting of the room. He must have looked it up at some point, right? He'd never heard of that disease before. Bokuto looked exhausted beyond belief, yet there he stood, excited to make his way to the gymnasium. He said lightheartedly, his fingers trembling around his phone. He didn't seem like one to say goodbye or hello for that matter, so both Akaashi and Bokuto didn't pay any mind to it. The drastic weight loss was awful enough, but as if to add insult to injury, Bokuto's worsening condition also made it increasingly difficult for him to walk, move, and speak. Akaashi leaned his head on his hand, chin resting in his palm. He wanted nothing more than to push him away, throw away the forms, and never set foot into that hospital again, but for some strange and irritating reason, Akaashi found it difficult to deny Bokuto. He started down the hall, sighing heavily, intent on rushing home. "Alright." Akaashi grew silent and knitted his fingers together on his stomach, his head relaxing into his pillow. He gripped his phone in his hand and took in a deep breath, filling his lungs with all the air that he could before he exhaled through his nostrils. I can.. B-arely speak. He intended on closing his eyes and falling asleep for real afterwards, but after having felt his mattress shake for the fourth time, he opened his eyes. I never said that I was.". Akaashi stopped in his tracks, in front of Bokuto's room. Akaashi stood from his seat and walked to the windowsill. "Hello. ", "I Don't know." He watched the window quietly, paying no mind to his visitor, or so Akaashi thought. How old is Bokuto and Akaashi? "We're going back to the hospital right now. But as he thought of it, he figured he couldn't be blamed for it. "You were out for about an hour.". He studied the back of Bokuto's head, eying the messy strands of black and white hair that overlapped each other. He watched as Bokuto's smile faded instantly, his eyes having gone from half lidded to wide in a second. They meet, and they cherish their memories until Bokuto dies. It took every fiber of his being to keep his voice from trembling. I read 5 sad hq ff cz I'm a broken idiot and the galaxy is endless and in another life hurt me on such a deep level. He walked home that day with a balled up blanket in his arms, a burgundy scarf around his neck, and nothing more from the hospital. I was so weak, and it'd gotten to the point where I could barely breath. It caused him to open his eyes and look in Akaashi's direction, astonished. Posted by: Category: Sem categoria . ", "It's not." His undivided attention was on Bokuto. "What's it called?" ", Bokuto stared at Akaashi. Unconsciously, his hand grasped Akaashi's own, and he dragged it down with his lack of strength, causing both of them to startle. Akaashi picked this up quickly, and he pulled his phone out for Bokuto to use. He wanted to rid himself of this feeling, rid himself of this silence, so he searched his mind in haste for any word that came to mind. He placed it on the counter near his bedside and buried himself into the blanket that he had so openly shared with Bokuto. "I know you aren't going to ask, so I'll just let you know. Staring down wide-eyed at the floor of the hospital room, Bokuto fought to find words. a while back in the story when bokuto was still alive, he told akaashi that he hoped that in another life, he'd be able to find akaashi again so that they can be together forever, hence why he said "i found you" :((, So i think there r two possible meanings of the ending so. "Don't cry over it." Akaashi never received another message in the remaining hour that he was awake. I've got time.]. Akaashi scowled. The way his lips curled at the corners, the way his eyes squinted just enough so that only a glint of green could be seen. Several flakes had gathered on the outstretched limb, but they were not quick to melt. Kuroo? His head was down and his fingers moved swiftly over the buttons on the gaming device that he held in his hands. "What? What was he to say? "Just breathe with me.". Indifference morphed into curiosity, and said curiosity was what drew Akaashi closer to his new friend. I mean, will they let you out of the hospital? Akaashi heaved a sigh. It was Akaashi's way of letting Bokuto know that everything would be alright, and this would always comfort him, no matter the situation they were in. It doesn't make any sense.". He wears a white shirt and blue trousers, and is also seen wearing pyjamas in the movie when it is his bedtime. Bokuto's voice rang out from the room this time. He looked around. He couldn't bring himself to read over the last four words of the text again and ultimately shut off his phone. It took quite some time for a message from Kuroo to arrive, but when it did, Akaashi realized that he'd sent a video instead of what was initially asked for. "Insomnia." "Don't be sorry." "I don't Know much about this Disease. Kind of confusing, but good. He sighed. "I would stay if it were up to me. I'm not just some visitor, after all. But he only swallowed and kept his composure, just as he'd been doing since the day he met Bokuto. Standing still, Akaashi remained in place for quite some time, his legs refusing to carry him further. Akaashi would also murmur quiet things to him from time to time, to keep up a small, often one sided conversation. Akaashi lifted his head and looked to his side. by hatsumix. "Likewise.". There, he parted the glass slightly. Akaashi almost smiled. never reading fanfics again (probably will), *gestures vaguely* idk what to do with my life anymore i won't ever recover from this , I've cried so much, I really loved it, it had been a while since I don't cry with a book. He shook his head again, stronger this time. Kuroo finally left the room after four minutes or so, having forgotten that he was supposed to leave in the first place. Kuroo's the bigger one. Statistics Chart The other spoke in a quiet voice, low and brooding. He stared up at Akaashi with that smile that never seemed to fade. He thought the video had gone by too quickly, but it had actually lasted a little under thirty seconds. Bokuto chortled quietly and placed his head back on Akaashi's shoulder. Akaashi stirred in bed slightly and let out a weak grunt. "Hey- Akaashi, right? Mentally, he was more than ready to spike, but not so much physically. The air was bitter and cold, and it hit Bokuto like a slap to the face as another gust of wind forced its way into the hospital room. Kuroo was just as bitter. Hesitantly, Akaashi barely managed to wave back before he heard his name being called from that all too familiar room, by that all too familiar voice. "I am. He motioned for Bokuto to come closer. "And nothing you say will make me leave.".
