Chapter 5

The first music choice was a simple love song, it didn't entirely focus on the words of love.

The entire card ride was just Akaashi listening to the song and raindrops falling from the dim clouds. Akaashi didn't mind waiting, for he enjoyed the alone time he is receiving. After some time Akaashi had finally passed through the traffic and went to his destination.

A place where he least expected his love one's were and that was the Cemetery.

Before he left his car, he grabbed the pretty flowers wrapped in lovely and colorful paper. He went off and started walking to his Mothers grave, every step he takes was like bringing back their memories together.

Every step made Akaashi smile and chuckle as every memory flashes by, After time he finally arrived.

"Hey Mom, it's nice seeing you again... I hope your listening to me from above" Akaashi softly said to his mothers grave.

He could still feel the presence of his Mother hugging him from behind, he carefully placed the beautiful bouquet. Akaashi didn't leave just yet, he just stood there speaking his mind out. It took him a couple of minutes for him to finish but after he did a teardrop came out of his eye.

"If only I saved you that day we could have been living peacefully together Mom"

He then turned around and walked down the steep stairs after he was done visiting his mother.

The sky was slowly filled with puffed rainy clouds.

"Another rain storm?" Akaashi snickered.

He let out a sigh, luckily for Akaashi he brought his umbrella along with him so him being soaked in rain won't be a problem.

The other grave he was going to was his soulmate, although it was quite far away Akaashi won't bother walking that far just to meet his soulmate. He was willing to do anything even if it means taking his life just to see his soulmate again, it was never a fright for Keiji.

He walked for a good 8 minutes under the drizzling rain, the rain wasn't that heavy but it was heavy enough to make the whole place fog up due to the cold.

He was nearly there, just a couple more steps of walking he'll be able to see him again. Well not living at least.

But as he did he noticed a man standing there looking down to his soulmates grave. He was wearing a long brown coat with jeans paired with a white shirt and a red scarf wrapped around his neck enough to cover the his mouth.

Akaashi was creeped out. " Who the hell would stare at a strangers grave like that, especially in the evening" He mumbled.

The figure became clearer as Akaashi kept walking towards it, he noticed it was somebody familiar. A familiar figure he'd met somewhere like this creeped Keiji out.

However he just brushed it off and went there, he quickly took out the bouquet of flowers and was ready to put in in front of his soulmate's grave.

Took a step and carefully placed the white bouquet of flowers. After he did he shifted his head on the stranger and leaned by the side to get a closer look. Until he spoke.

"The person who was buried here. . . . . . . . . .  has the same name as me . . . . . . ."

Akaashi flinched on what he said and came to his senses.

"No no Keiji his dead, the corpse is in front of you... he can't be alive... Right?" He thought.

The stranger slowly shifted his head towards Akaashi and at some point in time their eyes met. The gold and shinning eyes of this stranger gave Akaashi the feeling of life. Akaashi widened his eyes as he recognized this person.

"B-Bokuto-san?" Akaashi stuttered.

The stranger blinked and by his surprise a stranger he met who never exchanged names somehow knew his name.

"You know me? I'm sorry but. . . . . . . . who are you. . .?"

Akaashi sighed and looked at this person whom he addressed as "Bokuto-san" and voiced.

"I finally found you. . . Bokuto-san"

"You found me. . .? what are you talking about?"

Akaashi realized that Bokuto had never met him before, well not in this life to say the least.

"Nothing, it was nice talking to you. . . I'll see you around I guess"

Keiji turned around but got stopped on his tracks when he was grabbed by the arm of Bokuto. Akaashi looked up and had a questionable expression planted on his face. Bokuto immediately let go and asked.

"Since you somehow know me, can I get your name as well?"

"Bokuto-san I doubt we will be meeting again so I guess saying my name is unnecessary"

Akaashi immediately left but wondered why he did. He said to himself that he will do anything just to met his beloved soulmate once again, but now that he did he's avoiding to be with him.

But it turns out he was afraid, he was afraid that he'll fall for him again and just seeing him miserably die. He didn't want that, he'd prefer falling in love with him even if they were ghost rather than being with him in real life.

Bokuto was a stubborn little man so he followed Akaashi leading to the exit of the cemetery.

"Hey Hey Hey! C'mon just tell me!"

"No"

"C'mon I'll do anything"

"No"

"Pleaseeeeee"

"Bokuto- san why are you following me"

"I'll stop following you if you tell me your name"

"No"

"You know your pretty lifeless"

Akaashi looked at Bokuto confused.

"Your words have no emotions in it, your pretty blank similar to an empty paper with no context" Bokuto responded.

"You should get home, it's nearly 8 Bokuto- san"

"It's kind of weird how you call me " Bokuto -san" while I don't know your name"

"It won't be once we separate and forget each other. "

"No! C'mon tell me your name"

"No"

"Fine then I'll give you a nickname instead"

"You'll be able to use that just in this matter of time Bokuto- san"

"Great! The shall I call you........."

Bokuto took his time thinking of a suitable nickname, he was looking up in the sky as if there were words written in it to help him choose one.

"You know Bokuto- san, all that thinking of yours could waste you a lot of time"

"Ha! I found one"

"Mind telling me Bokuto- san?"

"Apathy- kun"

Akaashi stopped walking as Bokuto continued, Bokuto noticed that Akaashi was behind and shifted his body towards him. He walked up towards him and asked...

"Hey, is there something wrong?"

"What did you just call me?"

"Apathy- kun? Well since your lacking of emotions and your pretty blank I'll call you Apathy- kun!"

Bokuto and Akaashi were standing in the middle of the rain, but for just for the few moments Akaashi started to tear up. The name "Apathy- kun" was given to him by his soulmate and now Akaashi was sure of himself that this was just not a coincidence.

It was faith that bond them together. . .
