BOKUTO HATED HIS BODY clock, he always wakes up early even though he wanted to spend the whole day sleeping. He wants to sleep more since it no work weeks for him. But body clock isn't letting him, so with a sad face and in his emo mode he took a shower and decided to hit the gym.
He ate some bread and drank some milk before going out of his penthouse wearing a white jacket with a black shirt underneath and shorts. There's a gym nearby his penthouse and the good thing is, he can use the gym privately, all by himself since he's a regular.
Bokuto wore his mask and cap to hide his identity when going public, and grabbed his medium sized duffel bag with clothes inside. Because he usually takes shower in the gym, after working out.
He went to the basement parking lot and immediately drove his car to the gym. He doesn't like how things are going for him, he want to rest badly but he knew once he woke up he can never fall asleep once again.
When he arrived there are a few people inside, he immediately went to the front desk and when the girl recognize him, her eyes immediately gleamed.
"Owning the gym again? Bokuto-senpai?" The woman asked.
Bokuto nodded. The front desk woman immediately raised her brow.
"Not in a mood, again? It's happening frequently nowadays." She chatted, while motioning to the other clerks to tell some people inside to take their leave.
Bokuto sighed. "Just woke up earlier than I expected, suppose to rest the whole day. But ended up waking up so early."
The woman nodded, and started dialing the gym's owner that Bokuto will use the gym privately.
"Fujinami-san, already approved you can now use the gym freely Bokuto-senpai.."
Bokuto nods and walked through the centre of the gym where all the equipments are placed. The staffs started rolling down the window's cover, to protect Bokuto's identity. Bokuto dropped his duffel bag on a bench and started taking off his mask and cap.
His hair is currently down, because of the pressure of the cap he wore earlier.
He got his phone and composed a message for Kuroo.
6:07
b0kuto:
hey, want to hit the gym?
b0kuto:
are you awake?
b0kuto:
kuroooooooooo?
delivered. 6:08.
Bokuto became more sadder when Kuroo didn't reply. Kuroo is probably sound asleep in his home right now, knowing that rooster-head...he's such a heavy sleeper. Maybe that's why he's in his bed head the whole day.
Bokuto put his phone on the bench. He then proceeds to the dumbbells and started doing his work out routine. He seldom workout nowadays since he got pretty busy with his schedule, and a lot of things have been happening lately to him.
He is not even in his right mood this past few days, he lost his enthusiasm since he got so tired with work. He sometimes think, maybe it's better for him to do pro-volleyball. Than pursuing the field he is into right now.
But for some reason, he really think modeling industry is for him and that he would find something interesting while he's in the industry. He had fun when he was new, but then as time passes it got tiring for him.
While he's working out the staff had their eyes on him and some are even talking, but Bokuto couldn't hear because he's focused on what he's doing.
"Say...does Bokuto-senpai always visit here?" One girl from the staffs asked.
"I heard from Fujinami-san that Bokuto-senpai is her old friend from Fukurodani and allows him to use the whole gym whenever he wants."
"Lately though...he's been busy and doesn't have time to visit the gym more often. I guess that's the perks of being an international model, but hey...he's really well built right? And he's handsome.." The woman grinned while talking to another woman, both of them are staffs of the gym.
"I wonder if he's dating someone secretly.."
"Well since he join the industry there aren't really issues about him dating though...maybe he's not interested at all?"
"Or maybe good at hiding!"
The two girls just giggled and went back to their respective works.
Minutes later the woman on the front desk raises her head when the gym's door suddenly opened, revealing an elegant man with breathtaking features, walking inside the gym.
The front desk woman gulped. "U-Uhm, sir..we're very sorry but the gym isn't available right now.."
The man looked at her with his emotionless eyes. "Why?" He asked in a cold tone.
"Someone is using is privately."
The man sighed and got his phone to call someone. The front desk woman heard the ringing sound coming from his phone, she gulped again.
When the ringing stopped the man immediately spoke.
"Fujinami, your staff won't let me in.." The front desk woman's eyes immediately widen when the man spoke the owner's surname.
The man put the call to full speaker and faced it to the front desk woman.
"Oh! Lei! Please let my cousin in, I already told him someone is using the gym and can't bother him. Don't worry, my cousin doesn't have interest in celebrity so he won't swoon for him!"
Lei nodded her head. The man ended the call.
"Uhm..do you want to register your name?" Lei asked.
The man just nodded and wrote his name on the log and the current time.
He immediately walked away with his small duffel bag on his shoulder. Lei immediately take a look on the man's name.
Akaashi Keiji. What a beautiful name.
Akaashi continued walking towards where the equipments is and starting to hear some noise of someone working out. He remained calm and went inside the room, when he got inside he unconsciously looked at the person running on the treadmill and wearing headphones.
Akaashi's eyes slowly widened. He's here.
Bokuto's music volume isn't that loud so he heard the door creaked opened. And when he moved his head to see the person who went in, his golden eyes started glimmering.
Gunmetal blue eyes! He instantly remembered the owner of this beautiful eyes he had seen back in café, where him and Kuroo met.
His running slowed as their eyes met, and Akaashi couldn't take his eyes off from Bokuto.
He's not wearing some undercover right now.. Akaashi thought. Still surprised.
Bokuto almost slipped on the treadmill because his running slowed, so he immediately turned it off and started wiping his sweat with the white towel that is hanged on the handles of the treadmill.
Akaashi doesn't know what to do and is actually super surprised in the inside but decided to act it out and calmed his expression.
Bokuto removed his headphones and started walking towards Akaashi's direction. Akaashi just stood in place, not knowing what to do.
Bokuto walked passed by him and got something from behind him. Akaashi unconsciously looked at his back and saw Bokuto drinking water from his jug that he got inside his duffel bag, and removing his headphones and shoving it inside his bag together with his iPod.
Akaashi bowed a little.
"I didn't expect to meet you here..." He paused, isn't sure how to address him. "Bokuto-san.."
Bokuto stopped drinking and his heart started pounding loudly when he heard Akaashi's voice. He can instantly feel his mood lightened up just by hearing Akaashi saying his name.
Bokuto turned to him and smiled widely, like how he used too.
"We've met at the café right? Last night?" He asked casually and leaned on the wall and crossed his arms while looking at Akaashi.
Akaashi nodded and gripped his bag's handle tightly. "Yes.."
"Ah...I knew you were that person last night..hehe..I'm really good in remembering people." Bokuto said, praising himself.
Akaashi nodded, doesn't know what to respond. "That's really nice of you to remember me, Bokuto-san.."
Bokuto smiled. "So...what's your name?"
"Eh?" Akaashi asked surprised.
"Hmm? You've been calling me with my name since earlier, is it alright to know yours?" He asked in a very soft tone, as if he's trying to persuade Akaashi to tell him his name already.
Akaashi nodded. "Akaashi...Keiji.."
"So you're Akaashi!"
Akaashi nods and was actually glad that he heard his name being spoken by the one and only Bokuto Koutarou, but decided to act unaffected and remained calm.
"So you workout?" He asked, and Bokuto's eyes unconsciously looked at Akaashi's figure.
He's thin. Bokuto thought.
"Not really, I just wanted to try it out.." Akaashi put his duffel bag beside Bokuto's bag and fixed his things, while Bokuto just watched him while still leaning on the wall.
Bokuto immediately had a bright idea. "Want me to guide you?" He asked with a lively tone.
"I don't mind.." Akaashi responded, not expecting Bokuto's bright personality. He expected it to be so distant and cold, since he's a stranger to him. But surprisingly, Bokuto is actually friendlier than he expected.
Bokuto immediately smiled. "Great! I'm really good at teaching, ya know!"
Akaashi nods and stood up infront of Bokuto again, all set and ready.
"That's great, Bokuto-san."
Akaashi started walking towards the equipment and Bokuto just followed him, smiling and feeling enthusiastic.
Bokuto's phone suddenly beeped so he immediately paused to pick it up from the bench he left it earlier and checked the notification.
It's from Kuroo.
