"You're not going to drink?" Suna asked when I declined the beer, he handed me in the kitchen.
My friends started the drinking session right after they ate dinner and I need to make some food for Kita-san and Akaashi who just came here. My friends wandered why Akaashi is with Kita-san but they didn't ask even further after he explained that Akaashi's currently vacationing in Hyogo that's why they came together that they believed right away.
"I'll be going somewhere later so I can't drink." I said to Suna who looked like he wants to ask something but don't know where to start.
"Samu..."
I looked at him after I turned off the stove and get a glass of water instead.
"Hmmm?"
"Is Kita-san cheating on Karasuno's former captain? And does that Fukurodani's former setter cheating on Bokuto?" Suna asked in a whispering way that almost made me choked on my drinks.
"What the hell are you talking about? They're not! You dummy!" I said that made him gestured me to keep quiet.
"Well, you can't blame me. They never had an interaction before but they seemed pretty close now. And as far as I remember, he's Bokuto's boyfriend, right? Knowing how possessive that owl is, how come he let his lover stay in someone else's home without him?" Suna asked that made my brows creased.
Possessive my ass! That owl doesn't even give a damn to Akaashi when they're still together!
"They broke up already and that two are just friends." I said to end this annoying discussion and walked to the table where Kita-san and Akaashi is and placed their food.
Suna didn't ask anything after that and we all just talked randomly. The others got wasted right away because of Suna who keeps on giving them drinks after drinks. And because of that, he and Kita-san went out to get a cab for the wasted leaving me and Akaashi alone with the sleeping foxes. Akaashi looked like he's having fun and it feels nice to see him laugh heartily again. There's still sadness on those pair of eyes but, it's not the same as before.
"This feels nice." Akaashi said that made me smile sweetly when he voiced out what's on his mind.
"It's good to know that you're having fun." I said after pouring him a drink, letting him enjoy this peaceful moment of ours.
I thought that everything will going to the way I planned not until Tsumu texted, telling me that they're on their way to my shop after seeing Suna's group picture that is taken by Akaashi. Before I could even warn Akaashi about it, Tsumu, Hinata, Sakusa, Tsukishima and Bokuto entered the store with a surprised look on their faces after seeing Akaashi beside me.
Bokuto has a blank look on his face while trying to meet Akaashi's gaze who didn't dare look at him or even glance at him. I could feel Akaashi's being uncomfortable so I ready myself to any kind of confrontation that could happen between them. I'm not afraid if we got confronted by him, what I'm afraid of is that Akaashi will get swayed by him again. That's why I'm loathing my twin right now for bringing that stupid owl with him.
"W-why are you here?" Tsumu asked breaking the silence between us. I could see the confusion on his face seeing that his team mate's ex is with his twin.
I placed my arms on Akaashi's shoulder and looked blankly at my twin.
"Why? Am I not allowed to invite my lover to my birthday?" I answered his question that surprised everyone including Akaashi that immediately smiled after seeing me signed to just get along.
"Lover? Since when? As far as I remember, he's mine. He's my lover who run away from home!" Bokuto looked pissed while looking at me and my hands on Akaashi's that for some reason makes me proud of myself for hurting his pride.
Even though, I find it odd that he still calls Akaashi his even after all the six months that passed and it's as if their friends did not know that they're through. The way he looked at Akaashi as if he's the victim is seriously getting on my nerves so I leaned closer to Akaashi and handed him the key upstairs where my apartment is and whisper on his ears.
"I'm sorry about this. Can you leave and go upstairs? Stay there until Kita-san comes back. I'll fix this." I whispered that Akaashi immediately do as if he too, like the other people sober on this room except me, is getting scared to see Bokuto's menacing aura.
"H-hey Samu. Don't j-joke around like that. Ya know Akaashi is B-Bo-kun's-"
Akaashi stood up and smiled.
"I'll go now, Samu. Happy Birthday Tsumu." He cut off Atsumu's words and tap my shoulder. And without clearing anything about our relationship, he walked towards the door and leave.
Bokuto was about to follow him when I stopped him from doing so.
"Can you please stop disturbing my Akaashi? He's doing fine now without you." I said that made the owl looked back at me with rage written on his face after I emphasize the word 'my'.
"What did you say? My Akaashi? When did he became yours?" He laughed in a threatening voice that doesn't affect me at all.
"H-hey Samu. S-stop this nonsense." I just looked at Tsumu blankly to shut him up and stood up on my seat.
"When? I marked him as mine after he left you and choose to come with me six months ago." I said that made them surprised.
"W-what? H-how?" Tsumu asked but I ignored him.
I walked towards Bokuto and looked at his eyes directly without backing down.
"He chose me." I whispered enough for him to hear.
"I filled the sadness you gave him with happiness. And now he's doing great without you. So back off. He's mine." I said that made the owl go berserk and punched me in the face making me thrown off the ground and without a word he went out of the store to follow Akaashi.
Tsumu tried to help me up but I shove his hands and get up on my own.
"Hey Osamu! I know you're madly in love with Akaashi but don't steal someone else's man ya dumbass! I didn't know you'll be this low just because you're in love. Didn't ya know how Bo-kun almost gone crazy because Akaashi went missing?!" Tsumu yelled when I tried to follow that freakin' owl.
The other sober people inside the store all looked surprise on what he exposed about me while the wasted flinched on his yell. I looked at Tsumu with a hurt expression. I can't believe that my twin thinks that way about me.
I smiled faintly. "I didn't steal him. Akaashi ends it with that owl. I just helped him get back on his feet." I said calmly but, in my head, I'm trying to count one to ten so I wouldn't end up hurting my twin for ruining the best time of my life.
Tsumu became silent so I continued.
"You think he's okay? You think he was happy? Well you are dead wrong! Have you seen how he has been six months ago? He looked like a dead doll Tsumu! He lost weight and been sleep deprived but you all believe his lies that it's because of work! Did you know how he ends up coming with me?! It's because I couldn't take it anymore so I asked him to just say that he's tired and I'll take him away. He almost got hit by a car if I didn't see him that night Tsumu! He's in pain but all you see is his facade! So, don't tell me that I'm the wrong one here because if there's one who you should blame, it's that fuckin owl!" I said in rage that made them speechless.
I didn't waste my time and went to the alley next to my store just to get my heart broken when I saw Bokuto pinning Akaashi on the wall who looked like a mess because of how close their bodies are right now.
I already knew that Akaashi still love that fuckin' owl but I won't back down now.
"Let's go-"
Before Bokuto could finish his sentence, I grab Akaashi and hide him on my back making the owl looked at me like he wants to kill me but it didn't scare me even a little.
He might be a horned owl.
But I am a vicious fox.
"He's not coming with you." I declared while holding Akaashi's hand tight.
"Who are you to say that?" The owl said in irritation.
"Me? Did you forget already what I said earlier? Keiji's mine. So back off!" I yelled that made him snapped again and punched me in the face.
But this time, I fought back.
