Chapter 9: Bokuaka

                                    

                                          
Time skip: a few weeks: Bokuto's POV
                          
I never really expected Akaashi to accuse people of things. Especially not my own boyfriend. I kind of wanted to believe him, but then again, I also didn't want to believe him. Akaashi was really accusing Riku of using me for my money, calling him a gold digger. There was no way Riku was like that, right? Sure, he asked for expensive things sometimes but I didn't really mind.
                          
Akaashi was acting a little more distant after I had got upset at him over accusing Riku.. and I didn't like it. I didn't want Akaashi to be avoiding me or acting like he was. It made me rather sad.. Right now though, I had the day off and was at home. Riku with me. He was chilling in my lap, watching some movie I rented that he wanted to see.
                          
"Riku?"
                          
"Mm??"
                          
"Can I ask you something."
                          
"Sure."
                          
"What do you think of Akaashi..?"
                          
"Your secretary?"
                          
"Well, he's also my best friend from high school."
                          
"Whatever. I think he's kinda mean."
                          
"Mean??"
                          
"Yeah, I mean one time he got mad at me and kinda yelled at me over borrowing cash from you."
                          
"Why didn't you tell me?"
                          
"Well I knew you guys were friends and stuff, I didn't wanna get him in trouble I guess." Riku said with a shrug, making me look up in thought. Akaashi got mad and yelled at someone..?? Huh, I don't think I've ever seen that happen in my life honestly. Akaashi is always so cool, and calm and collected. He's never gotten mad at me through all the craziness I've put him through ever since high school and college.
                          
I remember one time I got so drunk at a part in college that I accidentally broke a project he had worked on for his class. I felt SO awful.. I knew he spent a ton of time on it, but he didn't get mad at me. Instead I kinda remember him taking care of me, doing his best to get me to drink water and shove me in bed. Maybe its because we're older. Or maybe he's just been in a bad mood since he can't find a girlfriend? My thoughts were broken when Riku turned and kissed me. Messing with my hair.
                          
"You aren't gonna get him in trouble or anything are you? I didn't mean for it to happen."
                          
"Huh? Oh, no I'm not gonna get him in trouble. I'm just surprised. Akaashi's always been a pretty calm person. So I was just shocked he yelled at you over something like that." I said, Riku shrugging with a nod. He went back to cuddling me in my lap, resuming viewing the movie while I just spent the rest of the movie in thought. 
                          
After the movie was over, Riku ended up falling asleep in my lap. I smiled slightly, turning the television off and carrying him upstairs. Laying in my bed with him, playing with the ends of his blonde hair quietly. Pulling him closer to me with a sigh. Sniffing gently at his scent gland. He had a sweet smell to him, it almost smelled like cotton candy or some kind of sweets. Akaashi's scent was closer to an almost fall smell.. like fresh air but at the same time, it was sweet and- wait, why am I comparing their scents. 
                          
I shook the thought away and kept sniffing at the omega's scent gland in front of me. It was nice, almost a little to sweet for me though but it wasn't bad. I gently turned Riku's head down a little so his chin was a bit more tucked into his chest. I began rubbing my chin and cheek against the top of his head, scenting him. Not sure why I did that, but something in my head told me I should be scenting my boyfriend. I wanted him to smell like me, to tell any other alpha he was supposed to be mine. 
                          
Maybe all this was instincts, since I really had like no idea what I was doing. Honestly, I never had a boyfriend or girlfriend before. Riku was my first one. I was nervous about it, what if I was bad at it, or what if I was being a bad alpha somehow?? Akaashi, when I first told him about my concerns, reassured me that I would be a good boyfriend. I kinda wondered how he'd even know, I mean I know he had pretended to be my boyfriend twice by then but still? Either way, his reassurance worked for the most part. Besides, I really liked Riku and he seemed happy.
                          
Once I was finished scenting Riku, I yawned and shoved my thoughts away. Rubbing Riku's back in a soothing circular motion. Purrs starting to come from his throat. Huh, his purrs were rougher almost than Akaa- dang it, I'm comparing them again. I tried ignoring my thoughts, focusing on listening to Riku's purrs. I have to admit, they weren't as comforting or soothing as Akaashi's, but they were still nice. So I closed my eyes and fell asleep with probably way to many things on my mind.
