A Couple of Owls

by RY16

"Did Kuroo put you up to this?" Bokuto whispered, covering his mouth with his hand, taking glimpses at the cats as if suspicious of them. "Akaashi! I can't believe you!" Bokuto stepped back with his jaw dropped. "Did you forget about our promise to someday have a pet owl?" "I remember no such thing." [Day 2 excerpt] [BokuAka Week]

1. Day 1 - Library

Day 1: Library

The sound of flipping pages and a pencil scribbling down on paper filled the library. Akaashi was reading his book… well, he was trying to but he kept taking glimpses at Bokuto's homework and he couldn't stop himself from noticing how hard Bokuto was trying.

Bokuto scratched his head, with the back of his pencil, frowning at the numbers. His lips pressed into a thin line and he tilted his head to the side, squinting at the exercise.

Akaashi's lips quirked up at the corners. "Bokuto, if you want my help you can just ask," he hinted. Bokuto glanced at Akaashi and blushed, dropping his eyes to his homework immediately. "No, Akaashi, don't help me," he said. "I'm going to do this by myself!" Akaashi's smile widened but he didn't say anything else, trying to actually read his book now.

After a while, he noticed he didn't hear the sound of Bokuto's pencil. His eyes lifted from the page and found Bokuto staring intently at him, his hands clasping at his knees. "Bokuto, have you finished?" He nodded quickly.

Akaashi marked the page he was on and set his book on the table, sliding the math sheet across the table and grabbed the calculator. He could feel Bokuto's stare on him, watching his every move, and he was silent about it too, which only made Akaashi more uncomfortable.

After losing count of where he was at in the fourth exercise for the fifth time, Akaashi abruptly spun in his chair and grabbed Bokuto's cheeks and pulledg him closer. The ace froze, letting the other do as he pleased. Akaashi leaned in, and they were so close Akaashi could feel Bokuto's warm breath on his lips. Bokuto was squeezing his eyes tightly shut, his cheeks burning bright red and hot under Akaashi's touch. "Bokuto," Akaashi murmured and the ace slowly opened his eyes, gazing at Akaashi's lips. "Please stop staring at me like that I can't concentrate."

Akaashi's fingers caressed Bokuto's cheeks, his index finger outlining his chin as he straightened back in his seat. "Bu- ugh- hum- Akaas—

"Shh," Akaashi clasped his index finger to his lips, interrupting the other boy. "Let me finish this," he asked and blew the red, stuttering mess a kiss. Bokuto's eyes widened and his gaze dropped to his hands, clutching at his pants so tightly his knuckles were white, nodding.
