[y/n] was a pretty young girl. Childish as she may be, no one could deny that she was a cheerful and talented pretty girl.
Akaashi always knew that sooner or later, she would attract countless guys and it would be his job to make sure these guys wouldn't do anything stupid.
Making sure they stayed proper, that was his job. Not to chase them away. But why does he wanted to kick the guys surrounding her desk away when they're not doing anything improper and were just talking with her pleasantly?
With his hand closed into a ball, he glared at the sight from where he was standing which was the door of [y/n]'s classroom.
[y/n] laughed at what one of the guys said and accidentally glanced to the door where he was standing.
"Ah! Keiji-tan!" [y/n] stood up, picking her lunch box and the of boxes of chocolates the guys probably gave her . "I have to go now. Thanks for the gifts, guys."
[y/n] run towards him and smiled brightly. Akaashi however were in a foul mood.
"Why did they give you chocolates? I don't think today is the white day." he shot grumpily and walked.
[y/n] followed him. "They said it's a gift for getting well from the fever."
Akaashi's frowned more at that. Getting well from fever his ass. He was sure they were just using it as an excuse. "Don't just accept gifts from men." he said.
[y/n] pouted. "But I like chocolates. And they were nice enough to buy it for me. It's my favorite brand too." she whined.
"If you want it too much, I'll buy you some everyday. Just don't accept chocolates from the people you don't know well. Who knows what they put in there." Akaashi said, voice uncharacteristically louder than nornal.
[y/n] already picking up on his mood, frowned. "Keiji-tan? Did something happened? You sounds angry."
Akaashi's steps became a lot more faster and [y/n] struggled to follow him.
"I'm not angry." he said.
[y/n]'s eyebrows knit. She was positively sure he was angry.
"Don't lie. You're angry." she said.
"I'm not." Akaashi still denied.
"You are! Tell me what happened!" [y/n] persisted.
He sighed in annoyance. "I said, I'm not angry."
"You're lying! You are angry! Tell me why?!"
"STOP BEING ANNOYING! I SAID I'M NOT!" Akaashi shouted.
Everyone on the hall looked at them in surprise. Akaashi seems to realized his mistake but the damage has already been done.
Wide eyed, [y/n] stepped back.
"[y/n]-san, I'm sor-"
[y/n] run away before he could say anything. At loss of what to do, Akaashi just stood there and watched her disappear in distance.
Asai raised an eyebrow as she saw [y/n] lying down under the bench when she entered the gym. Kawaguchi and Eguchi were trying to cheer her up but it doesn't seems to be working.
It has been a while since she saw [y/n] crawl under there making her wonder what depressed her this time.
Asai silently stepped beside their captain, Hirano. "Hey, what's wrong with [y/n] this time?" she whispered.
Hirano glanced over [y/n] and turned to Asai. "[y/n] and Akaashi fought." she whispered back.
"Eh? That was kind of hard to believe." Asai said in surprise. "What exactly happened?"
"I'm not really sure. But from what I heard, they argued and Akaashi yelled at her."
Asai looked over [y/n]. It was really hard to believe that Akaashi lost his temper. If there was someone she knows who has incredible patience over annoyances, it was Akaashi. She know [y/n] was handy but her older brother Bokuto was a lot more troublesome and Akaashi never lost his temper at him. So what have made Akaashi shout at [y/n]?
"Have you asked Akaashi about this?" Asai asked.
Hirano nodded. "He didn't really explain well." she sighed. "He said he tried to apologize but she runs whenever he tries to approach her."
Asai shook her head. [y/n] was a serious pain in the ass, honestly.
"Hey, Akaashi. I heard you and [y/n]-chan are fighting." Suzumeda Kaori said as she sat beside the captain.
Akaashi sighed as he was reminded of his problem. "We're not really fighting. I just lost my temper and accidentally yelled at her. It's my fault."
Suzumeda looked at him questioningly. "What happened?"
Akaashi hesitated. He wasn't sure how to explain it, really. What should he say? That he got angry that she accepted the chocolates from those guys? That she was being overly friendly with them? Or what?
Seeing the expression on Akaashi's face, Suzumeda became more confused. "Akaashi?"
"I... I'm just warning her about those guys who seems to have hidden motives trying to get too close on her." he said. That was closer to what exactly happened but not quite. Still, that was all he could say.
"And?"
"And well... She wasn't listening, she keep insisting that I am angry instead and so I got pissed and before I knew it, I yelled at her." Akaashi sighed. Actually, he really might be angry and [y/n] sensed it from the tone of his voice. But he didn't want to admit it and blew everything up.
Suzumeda stared at him blankly for a while but suddenly, she grinned. "Are you jealous?"
Akaashi's eyebrow knit. "What?!"
"Aren't you just jealous that she was entertaining admirers now?" Suzumeda pointed out.
"I'm just trying to protect her from them." Akaashi argued.
Suzumeda however was sure of what she believed it was. "No. It's jealousy, Akaashi. Think about it, all this time, her world revolves around you and then these guys came, threatening your position as [y/n]-chan's number one, making you lose your composure."
Akaashi looked away, refusing to admit it. Suzumeda chuckled and patted him on the shoulder before leaving him on his thoughts.
Now alone, Akaashi thought of everything that happened. From what he felt when he saw her surrounded by those guys to the look on her face when she run away. She looked so devastated at that time.
Sighing in frustration, he grabbed his hair. "I may be jealous."
