Haikyuu One Shots!

Bokuto x f!reader

"You smell really nice." Y/N flushed at his words. She couldn't dare look down at the man who had his head resting in her lap. Not after he said that.

"Kotaro" Y/N whined. "That's so embarrassing."  The young woman temporarily stopped running her fingers through his hair to cover her burning cheeks.

The pair had grown up together. They had been inseparable for most of their lives. Even into adulthood they were attached at the hip. Y/N had been there with Bokuto through every high and low.

No, she wasn't some magical cure for his mood swings. But she supported him no matter what.

"You're so cute Y/N."

Bokuto had been like this for a few days now. Just flooding Y/N with compliments. He loved every one of her cute reactions. He loved everything about her.

Y/N couldn't help but wonder what had caused such a drastic turn in their relationship. Bokuto used to never treat her like this. Hell, Y/N used to wonder if Bokuto even saw her as a woman. But now there was no doubt. And Bokuto very clearly had some sort of feelings for her. Not that Y/N was complaining.

Unknown to her, a simple conversation had sparked this change from Bokuto. Just five days ago, Bokuto met up with Akaashi. At first it seemed like one of their normal visits. That was until Akaashi started asking questions about Y/N.

Normally, Y/N was always apart of these hangouts. But she had plans that day and couldn't make it.

With Y/N out of the picture, Akaashi showed a new level of interest in the young woman. He asked Bokuto all sorts of things. Was Y/N seeing anyone? What's her favorite color? What's her favorite flower? And so on. All questions that he already knew the answers to.

But then he said something that made Bokuto's heart stop. "I think I'm going to ask Y/N on a date the next time I see her." Akashi's words made Bokuto's brain malfunction. Akaashi and Y/N? No, it couldn't happen.

After that day, Bokuto took every opportunity to compliment Y/N. Over and over again, he flooded her with compliments. He showed her a new level of interest than he had ever showed Y/N before.

"Kotaro!" Bokuto laughed at her reaction. He could see the redness of her cheeks from the spots not covered by her hands. Bokuto reached up, prying Y/N's hands away from her face. He wanted to see her. But most importantly, he wanted to see the smile that he could hear in her voice.

"I really mean it Y/N!"

Y/N's eyes finally met Bokuto's, her face completely flushed. He was giving her that smile of his. Looking at her like she was his favorite thing in the world.

There was no denying it, there hadn't been for a long time. She loved him with all her heart. But now, with the way he looked at her, with the way he was acting, she couldn't help but wonder if he loved her too.

"You're always so sweet Kotaro." Y/N smiled and lovingly stroked Bokuto's cheek.

The pair found themselves in a comfortable silence once again. Y/N had refocused her gaze on the clouds above them. Her fingers absentmindedly running through Bokuto's hair. They stayed like this for a while before Bokuto found himself speaking again.

This time his voice was softer. "You're my best friend Y/N."

Y/N's heart stopped. Bokuto had said this before. Of course he had. They have been attached to each other for nearly fifteen years. But this time it was different. This felt different.

Y/N smiled again, leaning over to meet Bokuto's eyes. This time she wasn't embarrassed. "You're my best friend Kotaro." She said it back just as gently. As if one wrong move would ruin everything.

Y/N leaned back, tilting her head back to watch the clouds again. Her smile still present on her face. It was perfect. Everything felt just so perfect.

"Hey, sorry to keep you two waiting." Akaashi smiled when he saw the pair. They looked so close. He could tell that they had just had a moment, and it felt like such a shame to break it.

"Hey Keiji." Y/N smiled at him.

"Seems Kotaro has made himself comfortable." Bokuto frowned up at the sky, mistaking Akaashi's words for jealousy. Akaashi chuckled at the unpleasant expression.

"Hey Y/N, could I talk to you for a sec-" Bokuto immediately flipped over and wrapped his arms around Y/N's waist.

"I love you!" Bokuto shouted.

Y/N's face flushed. "Wh-What?"

"I love you!" Bokuto shouted again.

Akaashi smiled at the scene playing out in front of him. All according to plan.
