akaashi took a deep breath before fiddling with his fingers. "uh.." he swallowed. "yuuma-san bullies me."

"what?" both sarukui and konoha raised their voices, akaashi only nodded his head.

"i-it's been happening for more than a year.. when he first met me, he just didn't like me. a-and.."

the two third years in front of him looked impatient for him to continue, but akaashi can only hung his head low and bite his lower lip.

"does bokuto know about this?" sarukui asked.

akaashi shook his head, tears forming in his eyes.

konoha took his phone and scrolled to his contacts, when his finger hovered above bokuto's contact, he stood up. "well he needs to know!"

"no, he doesn't!" akaashi shouted almost immediately, also standing up.

konoha stare at him confusedly. "why the hell not?!"

"because!" he bit his lower lip. "we both know how bokuto-san is like! he's very curious and won't rest until he knows why i'm being bullied!"

"well why are you being bullied?!"

akaashi took another deep breath before he answered. "because i'm colorblind!" he shouted.

akaashi had figured out he'll has to tell these two boys any time this moment, but it still surprised him enough for him to broke into tears.

"akaashi.." sarukui started.

"and i tried my best to hide it, okay?! i don't need any more people to use it against me. and.."

akaashi contemplated whether he should continue or not, he couldn't believe how many words had spilled from his lips.

"it's been a long time since i last made friends. bokuto-san has been really nice to me," he paused, before looking down, tears falling to his shirt. "i feel like.." akaashi said in a low voice, barely whispering.

"he finds me interesting.."

akaashi didn't know why, but he smiled at the thought. he starts to wipe the tears off his face with the side of his hand.

he heard konoha sighed and sarukui stood up to place a hand on his shoulder. "okay.."

sarukui and konoha both share glances at each other. "i should drive you home."

sarukui opened his mouth to asked, "why should he go-" but was cut off by konoha again.

"cause he's hurt. if we go to the school's infirmary, the news will spread. he gotta go home."

akaashi gave a small smile before nodding his head. "okay."
