Akaashi had always felt a subtle, almost unplaceable presence in his life, like a missing piece he couldn’t define. It wasn’t until he met you that he understood what it was—a quiet, comforting sense of familiarity, a feeling of waiting for someone he hadn’t yet known.

You appeared like a burst of sunlight, filling his world with a warmth that made everything else seem dim in comparison. “You were somewhere in the sunlight, in the corners of my young mind,” he would later tell you, his voice soft with wonder. Even before you met, it was as if you were a whisper in his daydreams, a guiding force he hadn’t been able to recognize.

The first time he saw you, it felt like meeting an old friend after years apart. The connection was instant, almost as if he had known you all along. The small moments with you—a shared laugh, a touch of your hand—felt like fragments of a long-forgotten memory coming back into focus. “I loved you long before I knew you,” he confessed one night, his voice trembling with sincerity.

Your presence in his life was more than a mere coincidence. It was as if the universe had been gently guiding him toward you, preparing him for the love you would bring. You were the missing piece he had been searching for, the hope he couldn’t quite place until he saw your face.

Each day with you was a discovery, an affirmation of the feelings he had sensed but couldn’t fully understand. Even when you weren’t physically present, there was a comfort in knowing that you were somewhere in his world, even if just out of sight. “You were hiding in plain sight,” he mused, a smile touching his lips ad he caressed your cheek.

Now, every morning with you feels like a gift, a reminder of how perfect the universe can be when everything aligns. “Even when you hadn’t found me,” he added softly, “you were right there all around me.”

And even if the mornings run out, the love you share will remain, a constant presence in his heart, grounding him, just as you always have, because now he couldn’t imagine a life without you.
