Weakness Number 1 [Bokuto x Reader ]

Part 1

It seems like forever ago, but you remember the first time you encountered Kōtarō Bokuto. It was summer before your first year of high school. You had just moved to the outside of Tokyo. It was a hot summer day, you were at your local park, the sun was beating down on you , and yet you were by yourself, trying to practice your serve for volleyball. You goal was to make the girl's volleyball team at your new high school, Fukurōdani Academy, but you knew your serves were  weak. They would barely make it over the net most of the time. So that is how you ended up practicing them almost every day, hitting the ball over (but most of the time into or under) the net, running to retrieve the ball, and repeating.

That's when you met him. All of a sudden, you heard "Hey, hey, hey, you! You're never going get it over the net if you don't follow through with your arm!" You turn your head to see a boy with spiked white-grey hair with black streaks coming your way. He seemed to be around your age.

"Oh um, thanks," you said. You knew this already though. So many people have told you before, but it was hard to actually do. You've tried countless times, but your arm just doesn't want to make it a habit to do continuously. So hearing it again from this strange boy, it just kind of irritated you more that you weren't getting the hang of it.

"Here like this," he said as he grabbed the volleyball out of your hand. With one swift motion, he through the ball up, did his approach, and hit the ball with ease over the net. The ball had a good amount of force behind it too. You couldn't believe it. "Pretty cool right?" he said with a smirk. "I'll help you!"

"It's okay, I'm fine, you've helped me already." You just really wanted him to leave. You hated when you were struggling with something and needed help. You were just stubborn and wanted to figure things out on your own.

But he insisted. In fact, he was just as stubborn as you. He wouldn't leave until you agreed and thus, that is how you learned how to serve properly. It didn't happen right that second, it still took you practicing the rest of the summer, but still, it was thanks to him. If he didn't tell you what to do and fix your approach, you would have been struggling the whole summer practicing.

"See? You're getting it! Keep it up!" He encouraged. "By the way, I'm  Kōtarō Bokuto. What position do you play?"

"My name's [your name]," you said looking into the boys yellow eyes before you continue. "Since I'm lefty, in middle school I was a right-sided hitter, but I would also play setter too if they needed me to fill in. They wanted me to get good at those two positions becau--"

"WHATTTTT YOU'RE LEFTY I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE UNTIL NOW THAT'S SO COOL! " he explained to the whole neighborhood.

You giggled to yourself. Wow, he's kind of oblivious but in a cute way. "Thanks, I'm hoping that it will help me get on the volleyball team at Fukurōdani!"

"You're going there? Me too! I'm a first year there!"

You tell him that you'll be a first year as well, and you guys talk for a bit about volleyball and school starting. You both really loved volleyball. Before you knew it, the sun was starting to set, turning the sky into beautiful shades of red, orange, and yellow.

"Oh man, I gotta go! I'll see you around let's play volleyball again sometime." He said before running off and going home. He seems really nice. I hope we can be friends!  You thought before deciding to head home yourself.

What had brought on this sudden thinking about Bokuto though? The fact that you were outside  the center where the MSBY Black Jackels play, the professional team that he played for. Thanks to your younger sister, Rin, and best friend, Misaki. They had got tickets for the three of you to go without telling you and you were currently waiting in line to get in.
