Chapter 7

"Akaashi?" Bokuto Cheerfully asked.

"It's a coincidence meeting you here" Akaashi stated.

Akaashi stood up not wanting to have a further conversation with Bokuto and end with a "Goodbye". But for the faith's sake they were always destined to meet each other.

"Coincidence? I believe we were bond to meet Akaashi" Bokuto chuckled. Akaashi sighed preparing to say his words of farewell.

"I'll get going Bokuto-san, it was ni-" Akaashi got cut off by the young lad's constant pull on his coat.

Akaashi bent down to ask what was the matter, and Akaashi got a surprising answer.

"Uhmm can you play volleyball with us? Bokuto-sensei is here to teach us!" The kid exclaimed.

Akaashi lightly chuckled and thought "Your teaching kids now huh". He wanted to deny and turn down his offer but the young lad put up his pleading eyes. You can't deny a mere child's offer, right?

And by defeat Akaashi accepted and on the other hand Bokuto cheered as well and welcomed Akaashi to the group of kids who were willing to be successful volleyball players. 

"HEY HEY HEY! Meet our guest for today, Why don't you introduce yourself Akaashi- kun"

Keiji was completely flattered if embarrassment as it had been so long since he introduced himself, and obviously he doesn't know what to do.

"Uh... Eto ... My name is Akaashi Keiji, it's a pleasure to meet you all. Please take care of me"

"Alright, you call him "Keiji-san" okay?"

The little kids nod their heads and went to the court. Akaashi trailed Bokuto and by the moment of realization Bokuto was still clueless whether he's able to play volleyball or not.

"Oh I forgot to ask you something, Do you play volleyball by any chance?" Bokuto quizzed.

Akaashi stopped and looked at Bokuto, he lightly smiled and grabbed the ball that was on the concrete floor.

"Setter, you?" Akaashi answered and asked at the same time.

"Ace, wing spiker. HEY AGAASHE! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU PLAYED VOLLEYBALL"

"You didn't ask Bokuto-san"

So even in this life you didn't change your position as well, Keiji thought. The young boy that bumped onto him earlier went up to him and asked a question.

"Uhm... Keiji-san? Can you do that thingy again later?"

"Mhm, can I get your name as well?"

"Yep! My Name if Fuji! Hinata Fuji!" The boy exclaimed.

Akaashi then realized that Fuji seemed familiar, and it turns out he was similar to Hinata Shoyo. Fuji had orange fluffy hair with bright orange eyes. Akaashi e even thought a silly idea on his head that Fuji could be Shoyo.

"Now If a small Hinata is here... then there should be a mini Kageyama as well"

And by Keiji's surprise a boy had met up with Fuji and he looked quite similar to Tobio as well. Akaashi was left in awe and there was a small smile built up on his face.

"Oya? Is Apathy- kun smiling?" Bokuto teased.

 "Was I forbidden to smile, Bokuto- san?" Akaashi sarcastically asked. However Bokuto took it quite seriously and he went into a mood where this was held back on his high school days.

He sighed and counted down to 3 in thought.

3...

"AGAASHE, DON'T TALK TO ME ANYMORE!" Bokuto whined. There it is, Akaashi mumbled.

Out of Bokuto's 37 weakness that can apply in court, his "Emo Mode" struck him.

"Bokuto- san calm down, I didn't mean it. I will toss to you...?" Akaashi hoped that this classical trick would work on him.

"Hmmmm Really?"

"Yes Bokuto-san"

"Then promise me something!"

Akaashi didn't expect a valuable or heavy promise at all as Bokuto only ask for light favors and promises. Back in the days when they were younger they would promise many random things like...

"Promise me... That you wont tell anyone about my math quiz"

"Promise me that you will not get a girlfriend before me"

"Promise me that we will spend winter together!"

Keiji went back to his senses and asked what was it, and unexpectedly Akaashi flinched of surprise.

"Promise me... that you'll never leave me, Alright? Apathy- kun..." 

Bokuto's voice had a quick turn, he was all serious all of a sudden. From his cheerful and joking mood if seemed like a promise that could last a full lifetime. 

Of course Akaashi would be surprised, but didn't expect to receive a heavy valuable promise.

"I promise" Akaashi responded.

That promise had made a shiver on Akaashi's spine, it felt like something was off but decided to ignore it for now. Nothing will go wrong... right?
