Kuroo blinked multiple of times before saying anything, "Sorry, what?"

Bokuto smiled, "I said thank you."

"I mean yeah, I heard you but..Why? Why are you thanking me? It's not like I gave you a gift or something.." Kuroo said as he start to grip the cloth of his pants.

Bokuto chuckled, "Come on. You've done a lot of things for me, I am thanking you."

"For everything."

Akaashi just watched Kuroo and Bokuto's interaction and was shocked when he saw how Kuroo's eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Kuroo-san is crying...

"Crap. Don't say those things out of the blue! You're making me feel emotional.." Kuroo said and immediately wiped his tears while averting his gaze from Bokuto.

Bokuto grins, "That's new. In my memories, you never shred a tear, not even a single one. It's always me crying." Bokuto said and laughed.

"Dumbass. How could I cry in front of you before? You look so miserable I don't want to add up to your worries." Kuroo said and Bokuto laughed louder when he saw how red Kuroo's ears are.

"What are you getting shy for?" Bokuto teases.

Kuroo clicked his tongue, "Cut it out Bo."

Akaashi chuckled a bit while watching the both of them interact. They're really good friends.

"But kidding aside, thank you really. For always being with me before, and for being my friend. I don't think I'll be able to survive all of that with just me alone."

Akaashi nodded, "True."

Bokuto instantly turn his head at Akaashi direction, "Akaashi! You're suppose to say, that's not true Bokuto!"

"That's not true, Bokuto." Akaashi said by Bokuto's request.

Kuroo chuckled a bit watching Bokuto whining, "And? When you will be back in work? Yuko is really really worried at the same time bombarded with work, because of your absence."

Bokuto scratched the back of his head, "Well...I'll try my best to go back to work in an instant."

A sudden knock was heard at the door so their attention was focused on it, cutting off their conversation.

When the door opened, Bokuto's sisters went in with tray on their hands with food on it.

"Oh! Kiri! Kaori!"

Kiri smiled at his brother, "We brought you food. You should eat."

Akaashi stood up to help Bokuto's sisters set up the food that they bought on the table inside the room. Kuroo also helped on making Bokuto sit properly on his bed, because he can't move that well yet.

Bokuto took the chance to introduce Akaashi to them, even though they already know who Akaashi was even before. Because Kuroo told them.

"Oh yeah, Kiri, Kaori.." Bokuto called for their attention.

"Yeah?"

"What is it?"

Bokuto pulled Akaashi lightly, "I want you to meet Akaashi properly. You probably know him already right?"

Kiri nodded, "Yup. Kuroo-san told us."

"Snitch." Kaori joked.

Kuroo just smiled and raised both of his arms, acting like he's guilty and caught in action.

"So, this is Akaashi Keiji. He's my partner." Bokuto said and smiled widely to them.

"And they are, Kiri and Kaori my younger sisters."

Kiri stood up from her seat and bowed a little to Akaashi, "It's nice meeting you, Akaashi-san."

Kaori did the same thing.

They started eating and conversing with each other, and for Akaashi it was the most perfect moment in his life. Just sitting with Bokuto for a meal, together with Kuroo and his sisters.

It was fun. They did talk about some things that happened before, it can't be avoided. But, Akaashi was glad that none of them ever think bad about Akaashi, nor blamed him for what happened.

They're such good people.

Akaashi is thankful that he met Bokuto, he is glad that the person he fell in love with is Bokuto.

After their meal, Kuroo together with Bokuto's sisters went home. Then later on, it was Bokuto's mother who came to check on him.

"Mom."

Bokuto's mother smiled at both Akaashi and Bokuto, "I talked with the doctor. He said that they're going to check on you one last time tomorrow, before discharging you."

Bokuto smiled, "Great! Then I can go on a date with Akaashi after I leave here?"

Bokuto's mother laughed a bit, "Do whatever you like. But, you two need to take care of yourselves. Got it? Don't be in trouble again, I beg the two of you."

Bokuto nodded at his mom and showed her a thumbs up, "I'll take care of myself. I won't worry you again, Mom."

His mother look at him in relief, "I'm glad. Just do whayebe you want okay? As long you're happy."

"I'll excuse my self for a while. I need to call your grandmother and tell her that you're okay now. She's been worrying a lot." His mother chuckled a bit and left the room.

When Bokuto's mother left. Bokuto held Akaashi's wrist, and pulled him closer to his side making Akaashi sit on the hospital bed.

"Bok-"

Bokuto did not let Akaashi finish calling his name and immediately locked his lips with Akaashi's.

Akaashi was shocked when Bokuto suddenly kissed him but obliged anyway. He can't help but to smile while kissing Bokuto, and clench his fists.

When their lips separated for a moment to breath, Akaashi took the chance to speak.

"Why do we always kiss in a hospital?" Akaashi asked.

Bokuto shrugs then laughed, "Who knows.."

Akaashi laughed and leaned his head on Bokuto's shoulder. "If Inoue's going to do something again, what are we going to do?"

Bokuto leaned his back on the pillow behind him and caressed Akaashi's hair.

"I don't care what he's going to do, we're together and we're going to do this together too."

Akaashi smiled.

"Right. Together."
