Osamu 13

"Are you having fun Aachi?" I asked with a wide grin on my face while strolling the now uncrowded theme park we're in.

The grin on my face wouldn't go away because of three things. One, it's our first month being a couple and Akaashi's birthday. Two, Tsumu finally accepted our relationship after we had a serious talk when I called him the same night that we missed meeting them in Kugenuma Beach. And three, I'm walking hand in hand with the person I love right now without giving a damn to other people's scorned look they're giving us.

Akaashi looked at me with a contented smile on his face. "I am. What about you Myaa-Sam?"

I stopped from walking that made him stop too and looked at me. Instead of answering, I pulled him closer and hugged him tight regardless of the people who gives us second glances because of our public display of affection. My heart thumps so loud that I could hear it too while embracing him. It's hard to breathe to be honest. I feel like my heart will explode any minute now because of happiness.

"Can you feel how fast my heartbeat?" I asked before I pulled away a little and looked at his flushed face.

Akaashi nods shyly.

"You're the only one who makes it beats like that." I chuckled when he buried his face on my chest to hide his embarrassed face.

A puff of smoke escaped my mouth when I sighed in contentment. How I wish this day won't end and we'll stay happy like this.

"Happy birthday Aachi-chan. I love you." I whispered on his ear before planting a soft kiss on his forehead and pulled away from hugging him.

"Thank you, Myaa-Sam. For making this day special. I love you too." Akaashi utter in a low voice enough for me to hear when we started to walk again.

I looked at him and smiled when I saw tears clouded on his eyes as he bites his lips to stop himself from crying. We walked towards the carousel and when we saw that it's still crowded, I lead him to a nearby bench to rest for a bit.

"I'll get us something to drink. Wait for me here. Don't leave." I commands before leaving to get my present for him that I asked Suna to bring with him.

It's a large white fox stuff toy and balloons. But my main gift is on my pocket already. I'm not good in this kind of stuffs so I asked for Suna's help since between the two of us, he's the expert in giving surprises. I already planned everything. After I gave him the stuffed toy and balloons, I'll ask him to ride the carousel with me. And of course, I asked for the ride operator's help earlier when I excused myself when we had our lunch, to play a romantic song for us later.

I'm planning to propose. I know we just started dating but I've been loving him for years. And now that I finally have him, I won't let this one chance to slip away. After all, I can't love anyone else anymore. It's him and always be him, who I want to spend the rest of my life with.

I already received Suna's text that he's waiting near the entrance so I hurriedly went there. But my brows creased when I saw him talking to my twin together with his team and Tsukishima who has the same look on my face when he saw me walking towards them.

"Why are you here?" Tsumu asked in surprise.

"It's Akaashi's birthday so I took him out on a date. Why?" I asked back that made Tsumu looked to his team mates with a worried look on their faces.

"Why?" I asked again after I took the stuff toy from Suna who looked worried too.

"Well..." Tsumu hesitated so Tsukishima finished it for him.

"We were with Bokuto-san earlier but we lost him. He already heard the news about you and Akaashi-san and to be honest, he's been in a mess since then so we're kind of worried if ever they meet especially now that he drank a lot-"

I didn't let Tsukishima finish his words and run to where Akaashi is, leaving the gift I had for him to Suna.

Am I afraid?

Yes.

Who won't be? It's Bokuto Koutarou. Akaashi Keiji's first. I know he won't get swayed again but there's a part of me who knew that even now, he will always have this space on Akaashi's heart that I can't take.

I do trust Akaashi...

But...

I don't trust Bokuto.

And his ways of making Akaashi's heart swayed.

I stopped on my feet when I saw them standing in front of the bright Carousel where I left Akaashi, talking seriously but when Akaashi was about to leave Bokuto stopped him by grabbing his hand and hugged him with tears on his eyes.

No...

If my weakness is Akaashi's tears...

I tried to walk towards them even though I feel like I'm dragging something heavy on my feet. Or was it that they feel so far even though they're just a few steps away.

"Bokuto-san I already have-"

"I feel like I'm dying without you Akaashi... I regret all the things I did to you. I regret believing Konoha more than you. I should've trusted you more. I never should have let you go. I never should have treated you that way. I'm sorry, Akaashi. I'm so sorry."

I stopped once more when Bokuto cut off Akaashi by saying those words. Just like how I got froze on my feet, Akaashi looked bewildered when Bokuto kneeled in front of him while holding his hand so tight. I laughed wearily when people start to gather around and watched them. Who won't be when the guy kneeling in front of my Akaashi is a famous volleyball player who played for Japan's volleyball team to conquer the world?

"Take me back, Akaashi...please. I'm begging you. I'll die without you. You're my world...and my life. I don't care if you stay because of pity. I just want you back. I love you, Akaashi." He begged with tears on his eyes that made Akaashi's face soften.

"Samu..." I looked blankly at my twin who followed me with everyone.

"That ass-" I tried to stop Tsukishima when he tried to come in between Akaashi and Bokuto.

I look back to where they are and smiled sadly when I met Akaashi's sad and helpless gaze. I feel defeated when tears fell on his eyes before he looked back to Bokuto who's crying on his knees.

I turn around to leave the scene when Suna followed me, still holding the stuff toy and balloons that is supposed to be Akaashi's gift.

"Are you not going to get him from that owl?" He asked that made me look up on the starless sky to suppress my tears.

"How can I? When he looked at me like that?" I asked as if telling it to myself.

"What do you mean?" I looked at Suna and smiled faintly.

"My weakness is Akaashi's tears..."

I sighed and continue walking to leave that place.

"...and Bokuto's tears is Akaashi's weakness."
