so, akaashi's sick. yeah. Koutaro is about as bored as an eight year old ipad kid without his ipad. except, unlike them, koutaro has the next best thing! and that’s you.

he asked to hang out, you said ‘i have to go to the grocery store’ and he said ‘well damn i guess i’m coming with you’ and now you’re here, standing in the aisles of a grocery store like a married couple.

koutaro was lounging around lazily, feeling bored. okay, maybe he really was acting like an ipad kid without his ipad. he seemed so drained - not exhaustion, but just a lack of an outlet for his energy.

you’d gone to the bathroom after a bit, leaving him alone to search for ginger garlic paste. that was easy enough, right? but he got distracted when a lady tapped him on the shoulder and asked him if you and him were dating. he almost let the word ‘yes’ slip. uhhh… shit! what do i say? he mentally panicked, freezing up and smiling awkwardly.

“we’reinthetalkingstage,” he says hurriedly. “waitnowe’renot—“ he let out an obnoxiously awkward laugh. he eventually answered with ‘i wish’ and the lady laughed and left him alone with one tidbit of advice: ’make a move soon, then.’

so when you came back from the bathroom, he stood a little closer. he was a little more animated when he talked, and he was more eager to help you search for things. you noticed, but you didn’t say anything. you just smiled a little.

koutaro was now walking you home, carrying all your bags like the gentleman he is. well, really, he was just hoping for a kiss on your doorstep before you went inside and he had to go home. he doubts that’ll happen, though. but he can pray, can’t he?
