Chapter 6

"Apathy-kun? W-why are you crying? Did I say anything wrong?" Bokuto worriedly asked.

Akaashi looking down by the puddle below him seeing his reflection was now added by Akaashi's tear drops, by the time he realized he wiped it off and looked up to Bokuto who was anxiously worried for him.

"Bokuto-san, I'm fine you didn't do anything wrong" Akaashi blankly said to Bokuto.

"Are you sure? then it's okay for me to call you Apathy-kun right?"

Akaashi bit his bottom lip and thought if an answer for the curious owl head.

"It's fine I guess"

"Nice!"

Akaashi had finally reached the parking lot. Their little talk about random topics had been ended. Akaashi bowed down and so did Bokuto leading to their words of goodbye's.

Alas, this might be the last time I am able to see you. Akaashi thought to himself.

Although Keiji really wanted to have a talk with Bokuto a little more but he was afraid that their status from strangers will step up as friends.

Akaashi was just too scared being with him and just ended up loosing him once again.

"I'll see you around Bokuto-san"

"Yeah! See you around Apathy-kun"

Akaashi let out a sigh and open his car door but before he step in his car he slightly turned his head to the side just enough to see Bokuto and said. . .

"Akaashi... Call me Akaashi Keiji. It was nice meeting you Bokuto-san"

Bokuto was happy that he finally knew this strangers name, although it was odd for Bokuto to eagerly to ask for a strangers name but when he did it to Akaashi he felt like they were friends from far back before.

"Well then it was nice talking to you as well Akaashi" Bokuto exclaimed.

Keiji stepped in his car and closed the door, meanwhile Bokuto had left as well his car was parked just a few blocks away from his.

Akaashi sighed and a grin landed on his face and thought about what happened. The more he thought of it, the more he chuckle in happiness.

He could only cherish these memories and think of it again, because he doubted on himself that they would meet again.

Akaashi admitted to himself that it was painful but he prioritize what was best, and that was just making Bokuto become part of his long memory.

The night was getting darker and Akaashi went home by 9. He didn't bother cooking anymore because he didn't have the appetite to eat anything.

He decided to go this room and continue the unfinished work that he left. Akaashi preferred working in the evening as this is where his mind is active the most.

The dark night sky with white glowing clouds and the full moon shining through helps Akaashi to focus more in work. Every star that was shinning brightly at the sky would always leave a sparkle in Akaashi's eyes.

The way of the light from the moon hits the eye of Keiji make's him look like a complete god. His emerald dark green eye is soothing to watch, the way you stare at it makes you think that his eye is really rare. Who would have thought a pretty man like Akaashi is still living in this cruel universe.

And why is that?

It's because he was destined to find his soulmate once again.

"Keiji-chan! Someone is in a good mood today" Sakura bubbled.

"Probably"

"Oh Oh! Can you tell me what happened? I am dying out of curiosity!"

"I... Found... Him" Akaashi whispered.

"Found who? I'm guessing it's a special love one, you're smiling Keiji-chan" Sakura blurted with a smirk on her face.

Akaashi who had found himself smiling, immediately composed himself and cleared his throat for an excuse. Sakura then went back to her desk to finish her work.

Keiji currently did nothing as he realized that he already finished his work last night. He regrets doing so as he preferred working rather than doing nothing in the middle of work hours.

To kill some time he went down the building and asked for an excuse for break, his request was granted and took out his long coat.

Autumn was nearly over and Winter was coming next, the wind had began to grow stronger and colder. And due to the cold every time he breaths out warm air, smoke and fog would form up.

As he was walking he saw a park which he noticed that he had never been to the park he had saw. He was surprised as it was only near by the office building but was never seen by him.

Curiosity grows and he went in, the park was beautiful. Cherry Blossom Tress had started to grown and will surely be drizzled by snow when winter comes.

Children were running round having fun, Families were spending time together, and couples walking down the pathway with matching outfits or perhaps sipping coffee from the coffee shop near by.

The further he walked the more he saw civilians enjoy and spend time together. But what really caught his attention was the court.

It was on open court available for limited sports, it had a basketball ring, a net where it can be adjustable by your desired height, and a table for chess as well.

He walked to the court to observe it up close, he stepped a foot on the concrete floor and walked around the sides of it.

Everything was peaceful until a volleyball had came rolling by him and lightly hit his leg. Akaashi looked down and bent slightly to pick up the ball, he looked ahead and saw a young boy running up to him.

"Well Hi there little fella, is this yours?" Akaashi softly asked.

"Yep! Thank you for getting it!"

Akaashi kneeled down to the boy's height and gave him a warm smile.

"Do you wanna see a trick?" Akaashi once again asked softly.

"Oh? Really?! well... if you don't mind"

Akaashi gave the young lad a pat on the head and chuckled. He placed the ball on his thumb ad balanced it, once he had done it he spun the ball as fast as it could to make it turn as much as it can.

The young boy was left amazed with sparkling glimmers in his eyes admiring how the ball spun on Akaashi's thumb, Some little boys went up and watched up close as well.

"Give me your hand" Akaashi favored.

The boy reached out his hand quickly and Akaashi held it, he gently positioned the lad's hand and placed the spinning ball on to his thumb as well. And by the young lad's surprise it spun on his finger.

Akaashi chuckled as the boy was hyped up to see it spin a couple more times and so Akaashi did. However he was stopped by a man walking by them and calling the lad's name.

"Fuji! Didn't I tell you to bring back the ball?" The man contemplated.

"Well you see this man over here made a trick and it was so cool! It spun on my finger really fast!" The lad cheered.

The man came close and bent down, Akaashi looked up to him just to see a familiar person upon him.

"Bokuto- san?" Akaashi voiced.
