Akaashi Keiji (Haikyu Chatfic)
Beauty Queen
Host
And the winner for our Miss Tokyo- Teen Edition is none other than.....
You stood with poise in front of the wild crowd as you held hands with the two other candidates.
The aquamarine thigh high slit gown you were sporting was glimmering and definitely an eyecatcher.
A sash was already hanging on your chest that reads 'Best in Gown'.
You giggled as the crowd on the right side of the venue went wild. Your hands extended to wave at them before their screams grew louder.
Bokuto
IF NUMBER TWO DOESN'T WIN I WILL BOMB THIS PLACE. GO COUSIN! GET THE FCKING CROWN!
People laughed as your cousin's scream dominated the place. Obviously, you're the crowd favorite.
Host
Let's give a big round of applause for our winner.... CANDIDATE NUMBER TWO! MISS (Y/N)!
A squeal of delight escaped your mouth. The two other girls hugged and congratulated you as everyone cheered and clapped for your winning moment.
You did it. Again. You weren't even surprise anymore.
The judges shook hands with you as they put the crown on your head.
You waved one last time to the crowd before you finally walked your way to the backstage.
Bokuto
(Y/n)! You did it! Congratulations
You
Thank you so much, Koko! You guys are so supportive
You gave everyone a hug. Your parents, friend, and other family members were there to cheer for you. Like the usual tradition, a long picture taking happened.
Everyone wanted to have a photo with you and even though, your jaw was already hurting from smiling, you were still happy to pose for the camera.
You
Thank you, Aki. You're the best!
Aki is your best friend since grade school. The two of you didn't start good but eventually, gets along as time passes by.
You
Akaashi-san! I'm really sorry. No one in the family is camera shy. It seems like everyone is born to pose
The guy laughed at you before he dropped his camera to his chest.
Your father asked him to be your official photographer for the event. He declined at first but well, your cousin, Bokuto was very persistent.
Akaashi
I'm paid so no worries. Congratulations, (Y/n). I will email the photos to you tomorrow
You
Uh... sure. Thank you so mu-
Aki
Akaashi-san! Are you coming to celebrate on (Y/n)'s house? Her mom ordered a lot of food
Akaashi run his fingers through his messy black hair, smiling apologetically at your friend before he turns to look at you.
Akaashi
Sorry, I couldn't come. I'm going to finish a project tonight
You nodded in understanding but Aki seemed really disappointed. It wasn't a secret to you that she has a crush on the older guy.
Akaashi
I have to go. Have you seen Bokuto-san?
Aki
Oh! He went to the comfort room. Do you know where is it? I can accompany you on the way there
Your brows knitted. Once your cousin's friend is out, Aki will hear some words from you.
Akaashi
No... it's fine. I know where the comfort room is. I gotta go. See you in school, guys
Akaashi smiled at the both of you before he finally waved goodbye.
You
You might want to tone it down
You removed your high heels as you slipped into a comfortable slipper.
Your mother arrived right after to call the two of you. The van was already waiting outside.
Aki
What do you mean by that?
You rolled your eyes at your friend.
You
You're literally drooling in front of him. You're gonna scare the guy
Aki
I wasn't drooling! Can't you at least be supportive of me?
The two of you sat together on the van.
You
If you want him to like you back, you gotta like him a little less
Aki stared at you in confusion before her shoulders shrugged.
Aki
As long as he stay single then everything is fine
You
How are you even sure he doesn't have a girlfriend?
You rolled your eyes once more. Well, you couldn't blame your friend. Akaashi is one hell of a pretty boy, anyway.
Email
You
Have you decided which club to join yet?
Aki
I don't think I'll be joining one. There isn't a club for dancing here. What about you?
Back to school. You and Aki are now first years in Fukurodani Academy.
You aren't in the same class with her so the two of you decided to just meet up in the cafeteria for lunch.
Aki
Right. Hey, I've heard Bokuto-san is the team captain of the volleyball club now?
Aki
And Akaashi-san is the vice captain
Your forehead creased. You didn't know about that.
Aki
Do you know their practice schedule?
You
Huh? Why are you asking?
Aki
Of course, I want to see Akaashi-san! So...do you know?
You
Even if I know, you wouldn't be able to sneak in the gym. Only members are allowed in there
Aki
What? That sucks! I enrolled here because I want to see him a lot
You stared incredulously at Aki. You couldn't believe what you just heard.
You
So you're telling me you didn't enroll here to learn and study? Would you like me to tighten up the screws on your brain?
Aki
If it wasn't for him I would have gone to Itachiyama High instead
You
You're a hopeless case...
You continued eating your lunch as you engrossed yourself on the manga you had borrowed from Bokuto. Aki on the other hands, was busy browsing on her phone.
Aki
Oh my god! I'm so jealous
Aki stomped her feet under the table and your brows shot up at her. She glared at you before shoving the phone on your face.
You grinned at her. Aki's face was red and you can see the imaginary smoke coming out of her nose.
Aki
I wish I joined the pageant too!
Akaashi had just posted your pageant pictures on his Instagram account.
It doesn't really mean anything. His IG was actually more like a photography account rather than a personal one.
Aside from his icon, there isn't really a picture of him.
Aki
I so hate you right now!
You
What are you whining about? Go ahead and ask him to also post a picture of you
Before she could even speak again, a hand already slammed loudly on your table. You jumped on your seat, completely startled.
You glared at your loud cousin.
You
Koko? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?
Behind your cousin was the pretty faced setter of the volleyball club. The guy waved at the both of you with a warm smile on his face.
He looked like a brilliant student wearing the school uniform while your cousin looked like a delinquent to your eyes.
Bokuto
How's your first day, ladies?
Bokuto sat beside your friend; to her dismay, leaving Akaashi with no choice but to take the seat beside you.
You
Good. I'm joining the art club
Akaashi
Really? I've seen some of your drawings on Instagram. You're good at it
Aki
What about me, Akaashi-san? Have you seen my videos where I was dancing? What do you think?
You shifted your gaze away from Aki. She's so aggressive and obvious, it's embarrassing.
Akaashi
Uh....yeah. I saw some of it. You're very good with dancing
Your friend giggled and for some reason, you wanted to smack her with the spoon on your plate. It was so awkward seeing your friend flirt with her crush.
Akaashi
Have you seen the photos, (Y/n)?
You
Huh? Uh....I haven't check my email yet
Akaashi
I already sent them this morning. And uh...I posted a picture of you on my Instagram. I hope you don't mind, I just thought it was really a good shot
You
No... it's fine. I've seen it and it was indeed good. I would be angry though if I looked stupid in that but it's okay. You're really good with photography
Bokuto
Hey send my picture with you, (Y/n). I'll post it too
The three of you looked inquiringly at Aki. She seemed to have something to say.
Aki
I....I actually don't have a club yet. I was thinking if the managerial position in the volleyball club is....vacant?
You frowned at your friend. Manager? She's actually willing to take care of sweaty tall males just to get close with Akaashi? Cringe.
Bokuto
Oh? I don't think so....We already have two managers at the moment
Aki
D-don't you guys want three?
She looked at Akaashi with full hope. You glared at your friend which she totally ignored.
Bokuto
Nah....If you really want, I can ask the girl's volleyball club. Maybe it's vacant in there
You held back a laugh. Aki looked defeated that she opted not to reply anymore.
Once the volleyball players left, Aki immediately threw you a suspicious look.
Aki
Check your email, (Y/n)!
You
Oh...you wanna see our pictures together? I'll just send it to you later
Aki
No! Give me his email info!
Your lips protruded as a very unfamiliar feeling crossed your chest.
Take Note
Aki
HE FINALLY REPLIED TO ME! Gosh, I think our love story is about to begin
Aki's eyes was glistening with so much joy. Your friend have been spamming Akaashi with messages on his email for days now using a dummy account.
You
You're so creepy, Aki. Why don't you just go up and confess to him personally?
Aki
It's not the right time yet!
You
What did he said anyway?
You shook your head. You didn't want to hurt your friend's feelings but Akaashi just look genuinely not interested with her.
Aki
Hey.....come on! I'll introduce you to my new friends
Aki, being a social butterfly, immediately gained new friends. Now, you would endure an hour eating your lunch with strangers.
Aki
Guys! This is (Y/n), my best friend
The girls, which you assumed are her classmates, waved politely at you. They looked nice and kind. Aki introduces her new found friends one by one to you.
Aki
.....and this is Mika-senpai. She's a third year
Your eyes stopped at the blonde girl smiling up at you.
Mika
We've been introduced before (Y/n)-kun. Here....you can sit beside me. Did you buy your lunch yet?
You nodded, saying your thanks as you sit beside the girl. Aki also took a seat across you.
You
I'm sorry but....how did we met?
Mika
Oh! Bokuto....he used to date me before
You shrugged. She's indeed familiar but you still don't remember. Your cousin is a serial dater and had already introduced a lot of girls to you.
He dates too much that you can't even remember every single one of them.
You
He has a bad taste for girls
The table grew silent. Aki nudged you and you turned inquiringly at her. Your friend cleared her throat before speaking awkwardly.
Aki
Uh... I'm sure she didn't mean it like that....Mika-san
Mika
Of course she doesn't! Don't mind it.... continue eating girls. I have to go! See you all around
Mika smiled at you before she left but the sarcasm didn't escape your eyes.
Aki
You just said Bokuto-san has bad taste for girls when he literally dated Mika-san!
You
I was just telling the truth. If she took it the wrong way then it's not my problem anymore
Aki
This is why you don't have a lot of friends
Indeed, Aki is your only friend. It's not like you're an awkward and a shy person. You're just very picky in particular. And well, your frankness and brutal honesty was the main problem.
The day passed by quickly and school was over. Aki texted you that she'd be in the mall with her friends after class. Now, you'd be going home on your own.
It's not like you mind at all. Your father picks you up at school everyday with Aki since she lives two streets away from you.
Bokuto
(Y/N)! How's my beautiful- I mean ugly cousin?
Your brows furrowed upon seeing your cousin on the passengers seat of the car. The back seat opened and you got even more shock when Akaashi's calm face greeted you.
You shrugged before taking a seat beside the setter. His perfume immediately filled your nose and you couldn't help but compliment him.
You
You smells nice, Akaashi-san
The guy's face turned bright red. He obviously didn't expect that from you. Bokuto cleared his throat.
Bokuto
That's enough, love birds. By the way, we'll be eating dinner outside tonight. It's uncle's treat....right?
Father
Yes, kids. Do you guys have a restaurant in mind?
Akaashi
Anywhere is fine, sir... You'll be the one paying so we can't be picky
You
Wait, what? Love birds?
The car went silent before your father and cousin started cracking up. You looked at Akaashi beside you whose face was now crimson red.
You
What do you mean by that? Do we look like a couple to you?
You scooted away from Akaashi and the guy noticed it. His lips curved into a smile as he shook his head at the same time.
Father
Why, honey? Do you want him to be your boyfriend? I like this kid, anyway. My vote is on him
It was your turn to get flushed. You shook your head uncontrollably, your arms crossing defensively on your chest.
You
I'm not planning to have a boyfriend yet. I don't want to get distracted with my studies
Bokuto
You heard her, Akaashi. Take note of that
Your brows furrowed even more. The two guys in front laughed as Akaashi shook his head, a grin was still pasted on his face.
