Though I imagined him acting this way if he ever has a girlfriend.

Late Night Talks
Akaashi Keiji x Reader

***

You were already comfortably lying on your bed, scrolling through your social media feed as you waited for sleepiness to visit you, when your phone suddenly began ringing.

It was your boyfriend, Akaashi Keiji.

"Hey, are you busy?" he immediately asked the moment you answered his call.

"No," you replied, glancing at the time. It was almost eleven in the evening. "I was just scrolling through my feed."

"Are you about to sleep? Did I bother you?"

"Of course not, Akaashi-kun," you assured him upon hearing a slight hint of disappointment in his voice. "You calling me this late in the night only means one thing. Did you have a rough day?"

"Yeah, we just had a practice match earlier today."

You hummed. "Let me guess. Bukoto-senpai gave all of you a hard time again with his mood swings?"

He sighed deeply. "You know me so well."

"How long do you think we've known each other?"

You and Akaashi Keiji had been dating for almost two years now so you knew him so well. Even though he wasn't the type to openly show his feelings to other people, he was surprisingly comfortable with you and wouldn't mind telling you what was running through his mind.

"I just can't help but overthink sometimes, and by the end of the day I'm already worn out." You could tell from his voice alone how exhausting his day was. "Talking to you like this relaxes me."

"I see," you started in a soothing voice, trying to give him comfort. "You can just call me anytime, I'll listen to you."

Akaashi had this habit of overthinking things, especially when it came to their ace. You already told him to just ignore Bukoto's mood swings but he said he couldn't. He wanted to see their ace perform his absolute best every time.

Seriously though, what would that simpleton, Bukoto Koutarou, do without your boyfriend?

"Thank you, [First Name]-san."

Your conversation with Akaashi went on. You talked about a lot of things aside from their captain; things about your studies, about your common friends, about volleyball. It was fun talking to him that you didn't even notice that it was already almost midnight.

"[First Name]-san," Akaashi suddenly uttered your name in a serious voice, "I'm suddenly getting hungry."

"Oh." You furrowed your brows, wondering why he suddenly brought up the topic about food. "Then go ahead and eat. Make sure to eat something before you go to bed, okay?"

"No," he replied almost immediately, "Umm. Want to go grab something to eat at the convenience store near you?"

Your eyes widened in surprise, but you quickly composed yourself then glanced at the time again. "But it's really late now—"

"You don't want to?" He cut you off, disappointment was lacing his voice again.

Biting your lower lip, you pulled yourself up then said, "Okay, let's go."

"Thank you. I just really want to see you before I go to sleep."

You chuckled softly, but you could tell even without looking at the mirror that you were blushing. "You're too corny."

"I just want a hug from you."

"Jeez. Akaashi-kun." You could feel your entire face burning at this point. For some reason, it had always been easy for him to feed you with such sweet talks.

There was silence for a couple of seconds before, "I'm on my way now."

"W-What? You're fast." You hurriedly crawled out of bed, fixing yourself in front of your dresser. "Let me just go grab my coat."

"Okay."

Akaashi Keiji arrived in front of the convenience store just across the street ten minutes later, hugging you immediately right after seeing you.

You also wrapped your arms around him, returning his tight embrace. His icy cologne tickled your nose, and you snuggled even closer to his chest. "Did you miss me? But we just saw each other earlier during class, you know."

Akaashi slightly pulled away to make eye contact with you. "Well, I didn't see you for hours."

Once again, your face felt like burning. You were so flustered that you were left speechless in front of his loving gaze, unable to find the right words to say.

You swore you were going to melt any minute now.

Akaashi Keiji noticed that, but he merely gave you a smile as he caressed your flushed cheeks with his long fingers. "You're cute when you're blushing like this."

"S-Shut up," you sputtered as you looked away, embarrassed. "You're hungry, right? Let's go inside."

He chuckled at that, kissing the top of your head before letting you go. "That was just an excuse to see you."

Completely stunned, you froze on your spot. "What? I can't believe this. You lied about being hungry?"

Akaashi merely chuckled again, as if enjoying your reaction, then pulled you closer again to whisper on your ear.

"I was indeed hungry. For affection."
