Chapter 19

                                    

                                          
your p.o.v.
                          
"Oh, that." I shrugged and gently pulled my arm back. I turned to the table and picked up my pen.
                          
"Y/N, what do you mean 'Oh, that'? What the hell happened?" Akaashi's voice was angry.
                          
I furrowed my eyebrows and turned to him. "I said 'Oh, that' because it's not a big deal. A girl grabbed my wrist earlier and she grabbed too hard. Why are you upset?" I tried to keep my voice calm but I could hear the icy tone.
                          
"When were you going to tell me?"
                          
I stood up and sat on the coffee table. He sat up on his knees so we were at eye level. "It's not like I was hiding it."
                          
"What happened? I want specifics."
                          
"Baby, why are you freaking out? I'm fine."
                          
"Y/N, please."
                          
"Stop calling me that."
                          
His face went blank. "That's your name."
                          
"You never call me that."
                          
"Tell me what happened." I rolled my eyes. "Why the hell are you rolling your eyes at me?"
                          
"Why are you talking to me like that? I didn't do anything! I don't talk to you like that."
                          
"And I don't roll my eyes at you." We stared each other down. This was going nowhere.
                          
I sighed and broke our eye contact. "A girl at school was asking me about you. I made a couple smart comments at her and walked away. She grabbed my wrist really hard because she wasn't getting what she wanted."
                          
His eyes went wide. He grabbed my hand and looked at my wrist. "Are you okay?"
                          
"Like I told you already, it isn't that big of a deal. Your thumb just pressed a sensitive spot. It doesn't hurt otherwise."
                          
"Come here." He opened his arms to me, sitting down crisscross on the floor. Hesitantly I sat down in his lap. "I am so sorry for freaking out on you. I was worried and worked up, but that still doesn't excuse how I spoke to you." He pulled me in close. I rest my head on his shoulder. We were quiet for a while. I began playing with the hem of his t-shirt.
                          
"Why were you worked up? Did I do something?" I asked softly. When he was kissing me, his tone was off and he seemed possessive. Not that I minded, it was just out of character of him.
                          
"Baby, no. It wasn't your fault." He kissed my forehead and then tilted my head up to look at him. He looked embarrassed. "I just... I could tell that Kirishima guy has a crush on you. It made me feel weird."
                          
I'd noticed Kirishima acted a bit different around me, but I hadn't thought much of it. Either way, it's not like I was going to leave Akaashi for him. "Do you not trust me?"
                          
"I trust you very much." He cupped my face and rubbed his thumb over my cheek. "I guess it just freaked me out that he could make a move on you at any time."
                          
I stood up and moved to the couch. He followed me and fell into my arms. His back was against my body, his head laying on my chest. I put my hands in his hair. I love you. "I'm crazy about you. You know that, right?"
                          
He was looking up at the ceiling. A small smile formed on his face. "I do. I feel the same way. That's why it's so hard to be away from you. Insecurities start to rise and I get.. scared, I guess, that you'll want to break up and date someone from here."
                          
I continued raking my fingers through his hair. "I will gladly remind you how I feel about you any time you feel like that. I don't want anybody from here. They're not you. I want pretty boy Akaashi Keiji. I want the stoic, blunt volleyball vice captain. I want my amazing boyfriend. I want you. That's not going to change."
