Summary
In which Bokuto Kotarou is woefully inept at conveying his feelings, and Akaashi Keiji has a sort-of superpower. Sort of.
Next to him, Komi is chewing his cupcake dutifully, albeit with obvious effort. Washio has assumed a completely neutral expression on his face, although Akaashi thinks that his eyes might be watering. Sarukui, having seemingly demolished the entire thing out of sheer willpower alone, looks like he deeply regrets every single choice that has led to this precise moment in his life.
‘It isn’t too bad, huh?’ Bokuto says, grinning. ‘I made them in our school colours, so they’re like, marbled black and white chocolate swirls! Do you guys want more?’
Sarukui looks like he might pass out at the thought alone. Komi pauses mid-chew to shake his head weakly.
‘I’ll have more,’ Akaashi says, to the general astonishment of everyone.

Bookmark Notes:
objectively speaking, the cupcake is as awful as a cupcake can ever dread to be. and yet - its terrible taste and consistency aside - there is something about the making of the cupcake that seems earnest and genuine, like the person who made it had desperately wanted everyone to enjoy it. the pastry sits snugly in his stomach, and akaashi can practically feel the honey sliding down his throat, warm in the way only bokuto can be.
akaashi works his way through the layers: the meticulousness, the unexpected thoughtfulness. more recognisably: the earnestness, the familiar warmth he's come to always associate with bokuto. a lingering wisp of sadness and nostalgia, for seasons that will never repeat themselves again. and then, right at the end, so subtle that akaashi would have missed it if he hadn’t been subconsciously looking out for it to begin with - the faintest traces of a buzzing excitement; the feeling of a skipped heartbeat; an unfurling, a confession.
