Akashi x Reader
You sat on the bench when you arrived. You looked around the floor and watched four of the regulars practice. But where was Rakuzan's captain?
"You're late." You smiled at the sound of his voice and looked up at your red haired boyfriend.
"I told you I would be a little late."
"I know." He lightly smiled down at you and patted your head and walked back on to the court to start the next drill.
You loved being their manager. All of them are good to you. You've also been held in a higher regard ever since after the Winter Cup. Even Sei-kun practices now. You watched the boys play. You studied their movements like a pro. After they finished, Sei talked with the coach while the others took a shower. By the time the others finished their showers, Akashi was just heading in. One of the basketball players a year older but on the bench due to Sei-kun's' ability and skill. He came over and started mindlessly chit chatting with you. The two of you talked for awhile it seemed and it was nice…until he started flirting. You started to get uncomfortable; the crownless kings started snickering for some reason and Chihiro looked sorry for the second year. You tried to excuse yourself but he grabbed your wrist. And that's when you understood the looks from the regulars.
You heard a cold voice, "What are you doing?" You turned your head to see your boyfriend standing next to you but he was solely focused on the boy who was flirting with you a moment ago. Sei-kun said something that you couldn't hear. His voice was so low but you could take a guess as the second-years' face paled. Even after the scared boy left, probably never going to talk to you ever again, Seijuro still wouldn't turn to look at you as his eyes glared at the others.
You turned your attention from the boy back to Seijuro. "You can let go now." You tried removing his arm from around your waist but he had a vice like grip on you. You sighed in defeat. "Shall we go?" You asked.
He leaned down and whispered, "If I don't keep an eye on you, someone will come over and will become…'bothersome' like him just now."
You responded by resting your head on his chest. "You know Sei-kun, you'll never lose me." His breath stalled as You spoke those words to him.
He brought his head down onto your shoulder. "Thank you." he said in a hoarse whisper. You understood his insecurity of you abandoning him though you never planned on leaving his side. Though he would never voice it, he too got jealous and was protective of you.
You nudged him and he looked up. "Ready Sei-kun," you say with a soft yet bright smile.
He returns with his own smile and nods his head as he leads you out of the gym and towards his car. Akashi has made the habit of either driving you to your house or bringing you to his own home after basketball. You didn't mind since it gave the two of you time to be alone for awhile. As he followed you into the back seat, you placed your head under his chin and closed your eyes. Drifting off slowly to the beat of his heart as he relaxed by stroking your hair. The both of you enjoying the peaceful car ride home.
