Bokuto saw it was 14;57 so got up, eyes still red and puffy from crying but he didn't care it's not like Kuroo was stopping, he was just dropping something off then leaving. He grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around himself to stay warm and to try have some form off comfort. He wrapped over his nose, getting a waft of Akaashi's scent. He sighed deeply, slowly blinking. He gave Eliza a small head scratch as he passed, smiling a little but not a pure Bokuto smile. A saddened one as the retriever licked the boy's hand as he moved it away. He got up and grabbed one of the two hoodies that belonged to Akaashi and left it in her bed.

"there you go El, he's hoodie"

He stood up, smiling as the dog followed and walked down the stairs and went to the front door seeing something had been in fact posted through the letter box. He walked over and picked it up, examining it. The thing was incased in an envelope and upon opening it Bokuto realised it  a letter that was written to him. He held it with a hesitant hand wondering whether he should open the letter it self up. Bokuto held a hand over his mouth as he continued to read the note.sniffling as he tried to held back tears at what he read.

Bokuto wiped the tears from his eyes as he folded the note and left it in his desk drawers where it would be safe and never get lost. He collected himself and grabbed Eliza's lead signalling to the dog they were going for a walk. He clipped her lead to her collar and headed out the house, shutting the door behind him. The boy made his way down the roads and paths that lead him to Akaashi's house.

He didn't think'd be walking this path again but here he was walking it.

He got to the house and rung the doorbell waiting for an answer. He saw Akaashi's parents and decided to if they wanted him to stay and talk since he didn't want to barge in then leave. Seeing they wanted space he explained why he was there collected the box and left.

He eventually arrived home and took the collar off Eliza and hung it up before sitting himself down and opening it. He looked among the items seeing it was a file of photos from some of their meet ups, a dvd copy of Bokuto's favourite film he wanted to get. Among looking Bokuto found a small owl plush confused as to why it was in the box before remembering he told Akaashi his favourite anatomy was Owls. He chuckled slightly as Eliza came over and started to sniff grabbing the toy off Bokuto and walked off.

"Okay you have it then"

He continued to look through the box finding it was all things related to stuff they did together or was said. Bokuto placed most of it back finding a note as he did so placed it to the side as he continued to put the box away, he again stored it in a safe location going back to read the note.

He opened it with a hesitant only seeing one thing written, nothing else. No words of things Akaashi wanted to say, no notes of feelings or anything just something Bokuto assumed was what Akaashi wanted to say to him before he passed away but couldn't.
