• notes : the writing in this one makes it feel like you're the one that's saying everything akaashi is saying (about bokuto). does that make sense. idk if you read it you'll probably get what i'm trying to say but this fic is really sweet and the tiny bit of angst is just akaashi being akaashi (read: he loves bokuto so much that he doesn't know what to do with himself and it gets him overthinking) ((bokuto is there to simplify things for him and they get their happy little ending woo))
