" tell me with your sweet smile "

You steal a glance at Fukurodani's setter, Akaashi Keiji. Everyone first impression on him was a good and quiet guy but boy, were you wrong? He's not that quiet actually but he only become loud with his friends but not too loud.

One thing you love about Akaashi is the way he talk is very gentle.

"Bye, [Last Name]-san!"

"See you tomorrow [Name]!"

"Bye-bye, senpai!"

You wave to people that know you and smile at them. A sigh escape your lips and look at the time.

2:25 PM

Your younger sister have extra class so you have to stay back at school until 3:15 PM for her seeing she's still in the first year while you're in second year.

Great, 50 minutes alone.

From the place you're sittting, you can see the volleyball players are in the gym. Cafe is one of the strategic spot to stalk the volleyball team and there, you can see your fellow batchmates, Akaashi Keiji look hella bored when the coach is talking.

His eyes meet yours.

"[Name]!" your classmate, Nanashima Nozomu jog towards you with a smile on his face.

Akaashi avert his gaze away as a hint of irritation display on his face, much to your confusion.

Akaashi-san, hates me right? He can't even look at me after he found out I like him

"What do you want, Nana?,"

The both of you drop all the formality long time ago.

"Aren't you suppose to be at home now?," he ask, leaning against the table.

"Aren't you suppose to be at soccer practice now?," you mock.

"A few minutes late wouldn't hurt," he shrug. "Say, do you want to watch us practice?," he beam.

"And get attack by your girlfriend? No thanks,"

Nanashima has a girlfriend in a first year and she's very overprotective when it comes to you. She dislike the idea of her boyfriend has a girl best friend who is way well-known at school compare to her.

You didn't ask for the popularity. It's just you join so many things so it's natural for people to know you.

~

Akaashi swear if looks can kill, Nanashima is dead by now. He's fine with you being friends with the boy but the way your best friend constantly have skinship with you is making him a little bit sad that he can't do the same to you.

After he avoided you last year. It's so f u c k i n g obvious.

I MEAN, NANASHIMA IS THE BEST FRIEND SO HE CAN'T DO SHIT ABOUT IT.

"Akaashi!" Bokuto calls out.

The setter toss the ball towards the horn-owl and the latter spikes it nicely.

"Nice one!"

"You're lucky today's practice is only for a while," Konoha comment. "I see Mr Steal-Keiji-Girl is there," he add.

"Shut it. She's not my girl," Akaashi reply almost sounds calmly.

The whole team somehow knows of their precious and beautiful setter's crush because of a little birdi-excuse me, I mean a little owl.

"I heard she actually doesn't like you," Washio say as he cool down.

"Me too. She said her type is basketball player,"

Akaashi frown. His mind wandering off if he should change from a volleyball club to basketball now.

"Akaashi-san, stop thinking whatever you're thinking now," Yukie deadpan.

"Fineee..," he drag out the end.

10 minutes passes by but for Akaashi, it feels like 10 years. A few briefing from the coach and the team are good to go. Bokuto purposely lead the team to the cafe to get some drinks but he actually wants Akaashi to get some.

[ oya? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ]

There, he sees you're sitting alone, focusing on your homework. Both your ears are plug with earphones as you sit cross-leg with no shoes on.

[ sorry but i hate wearing shoes :)) ]

"Tell her, I want to talk to her," Akaashi's voice sounds almost inaudible but Konoha and Komi catch his words.

"Roger that,"

Akaashi's side lean against the wall as his sharp eyes keenly observe his teammates.

As if it's fated, you look up from your book to meet a pair of an eyes looking at you sharply. Averting your gaze away, you quickly scribble random things on your book as your heart is pounding like crazy.

Akaashi-san, don't make my hope high after what you did.

"[Last Name]-san," a tap on your shoulder making you flinch a little.

"Yes?," to be polite, you pause the music from your phone and take off both of your earphones.

"Akaashi wants to talk to you,"

Those six words are enough to make you faint but you, fortunately don't. It's going to be embarassing if you do.

"Why?," your gaze has a hint of warmth and coldness at the same time and your voice come out quite cold.

"I'm not sure," Komi shrug.

Sighing, you place your bring your phone along and walk towards where Akaashi is. You try to make yourself calm and doesn't bother by his somewhat intimidating presence.

"Yes, Akaashi-san?," a hint of mockery clearly display on your voice.

"[Last Name]-chan, I thought we're already get over the formality last year?," the setter frown.

"It's only respectful for me to call you with such honorifics since we're not that close," you emphasize. "Listen, I have 10 minutes left before I have to go home. Don't waste my time," you say.

"[Name]-"

"It's [Last Name] to you," you correct him.

"It's [Name] to me and Keiji to you if we're dating," Akaashi reply.

You stare at him in disbelief before let out a sarcastic laugh. "Wow! What happened to 'i'm not dating anyone until i finish high school' ? Didn't you promise your mom?,"

"I did-"

"You did but yet here you are confessing your love indirectly to me. Thank you for playing with my heart, Akaashi-san," you grit your teeth. "Do you think I would simply accept your confession after avoiding me for 6 fucking months? No explainations, nothing! You even accused me for giving you a love letter when I clearly not!" you bark.

Akaashi knows you couldn't concetrate for the whole year last year. However, the setter doesn't know how much of a pain you handle all alone and fake a smile every time someone ask if you're okay.

"I don't like you,"

A sharp pain.

"[Name], don't lie," he say softly.

"I am not and you have no right to call me by my first name,"

"I love you,"

"Why is this escalating so quickly?," you throw your hands in the air. "Your love is so cheap, I cann-ummphhh!" your words are muffle when a pair soft lips crash against yours as your back hit the cafe wall.

He mold his lips against yours as his hand snake around your waist.

Fuck fuck is this a dream? bOI don't cryyy

Akaashi deepen the kiss when you're not responding. He can feel your knees buckle and if it's not because of his arms, you would slip right now. A grin appear as you kiss him back.

bingo. she's lying

Curse the oxygen, he break the kiss.

"I know you're not into basketball player, [Name]. The kiss prove everything," Akaashi smirk.

Then, you hear Lie by Jimin being play at the background.

Oh My God..

"I'm sorry for avoiding you," his arrogant gaze soften when your eyes become glossy.

You miss talking to him.

You miss teasing him.

You miss everything about him.

And you lose the right to even say hello.

All because of your feelings towards him and make him avoid you last year.

"I'm sorry for lying. I-I just want you to feel like I have move on so we can be friends again," you say.

Akaashi take one of your hand in his and rub it softly using his thumb. "We can be more than that," he smile.

" caught in a lie "
