Keiji Akaashi, known for his calm composure, felt an unfamiliar restlessness when he met you. You were gorgeous, smart, and friendly—your name was already admired among the first years at Fukurodani. When you became the manager of the volleyball team, Akaashi silently rejoiced at the chance to grow closer to you, though it wasn’t easy with his teammates vying for your attention.

To his surprise, you responded to his subtle attempts. Though your conversations started briefly, they deepened over time, leading to Akaashi's heartfelt confession, which you accepted. For a year, your relationship remained a quiet secret, not hidden out of shame but out of respect for keeping things professional during school and practice.

But one day, Bokuto caught you both in a tender embrace behind the indoor gym. His excited shouts echoed through the halls, leaving you and Akaashi laughing.

Cupping your face with a soft smile, Akaashi said, "Well, he spotted us. He won’t stop talking about this for weeks. Hope you’re prepared."
