"Yep that's what I got too!" you say excitedly as you go over your answers with your friend.

"Good job let's work on the last page, yeah?"

As the two of you work quietly on your last page of homework your phone buzzes. You pick it up and see a text from your mom.

Mom: Hey honey! I won't be home until after midnight so please don't wait up for me. Love you!

What the hell is that timing? This is so typical. Is the universe trying to tell me something?

You glance over at Akaashi who's peacefully doing his homework. You shake your head to get rid of your impure thoughts and put your phone to charge.

As you're completing your last section of homework, you feel yourself get bored and uninterested in the work. You begin to complain to Akaashi about it and he laughs you off.

"I'm serious," you groan, "I'm never going to need this information in my life."

"You're almost done, Y/N, stop complaining."

"The only way I'll stop complaining is if I get-"

As you mumble the words you instantly stop as you see Akaashi staring over at you.

"Finish the sentence Y/N," he smirks.

Your body tenses up as you slowly shake your head no.

"Nothing!" you squeak out quickly.

Akaashi finishing writing something down and closes his notebook. You watch as he pushes it away and comes to sit in front of you.

"Just repeat what you said," he smiles.

You shake your head lightly once more as you feel Akaashi runs his hand through your hair. He tilts the back of your head so you can face him. He slowly pulls you closer to him, whatever words he was now saying is inaudible for you. He kisses you gently, but you quickly grow hungry for more. Gripping his shirt, you pull him harder against you. Akaashi groans softly and wraps his arms around you, bring your body against him. The two of you lean down on your bed.

Akaashi begins kissing you deeper as he begins craving more. His tongue gently slips into your mouth. Your fingers grip his hair. You sense how greedy you are for him in this moment as you have never wanted him more than you do now. As his body presses against yours, you inhale his delicious scent. You take in the taste of his lips and realize how happy you are to finally be with him.

"Akaashi," you softly speak as you break away.

"Mhm?"

Before you have a chance to tell him what you wanted, you feel your phone buzz violently.

"You should check that it could be your mom," Akaashi says as he pulls away from you.

The two of you sit up and you answer the phone quickly.

"Mom?"

"Y/N?"

You hear Atsumu's voice on the other side.

"T-Tsumu?"

You look over at Akaashi whose face is growing concerned. You give him a thumbs up so he knows you're okay.

"I just wanted to apologize about everything that happened with Maya. I'm calling because I wanted to say that I still want to be with you and ask for your forgiveness of my mistake."

"T-Tsumu, I-," you say softly as disappointment sets in, "I don't care. We've been over this. You and I are just friends."

You look over at Akaashi who's doing his best to pretend he's not listening. You roll your eyes playfully as his gaze meets your own.

He then grabs your notebook and finishes writing the rest of your answer. He sets it down on the desk as Atsumu continues to plead to you.

"Tsumu I'm not interested in talking anymore."

As you go to hang up the phone you vaguely hear "Fine then I'm going to come over."

You groan thinking about how much that Miya boy gets on your nerves.

"Did you mean what you said?" Akaashi asks curiously.

You look up into his hopeful eyes and nod. Akaashi sits beside you on the bed and lays you back. You watch as he hovers over you and once again connects his lips to yours. When he pulls back for air you see a concerned look on his face.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah what is it?" you say breathlessly as you pull him back down towards you.

Once again Akaashi pulls away from you. You take the moment to search his eyes for an answer, still confused by what he's conflicted about.

"Y/N I wanted to know if you'll be my-"

KNOCK! KNOCK!

The two of you look at each other, confused by the obnoxiously loud knocking at your front door.

"Fuck," you laugh as Akaashi gets off your bed.

Akaashi extends out his hand and helps you stand. The two of you walk downstairs to the front door.

The second you recognize Atsumu's face on the other side, you slam the door shut.

"Shit," Atsumu groans.

You look down and see his foot wedged in front of the door. Reflexively you open the door a bit so you weren't crushing him. Atsumu takes the moment to step in.

"W-What the hell Tsumu?" you stutter as he stands in your house.

Immediately you feel him pull you into an embrace. Your eyes widen at his contact and you push him away from you.

"Tsumu we've been over this! I have tried being your friend and it's not working!" you shout.

Then you see his eyes look past yours. You turn to see Akaashi scowling towards Atsumu. Akaashi pulls your arm back towards him.

"Get lost, Miya," he growls.

Atsumu's attention turns back to you. Your body tenses up as he smirks at you. As he takes a step closer you feel his thumb graze against your lower lip.

"I'll win you over eventually," he says sweetly.

You shove past him to open the door and push Atsumu out of your house.

"That won't happen considering I'm never talking to you again!" you shout as you slam the door in his face.

You turn around and see Akaashi looking proud of you.

"Bed. Now," you growl as you grab his arm.

The second you have him in your room you push him down on your bed. Akaashi looks up at you and smirks.

"God I love that my best friend is the sexiest woman I've ever seen."

"Akaashi that was super cringy, especially for you," you tease.

You begin to kiss Akaashi, rougher than it started before. His arms wrap around your back and you run your hands through his hair.

Sooner than you would have liked, Akaashi signals for you to stop. You sit up and straddle him.

"Sorry," you mutter.

Akaashi props himself up on his forearms and smiles at you.

"It's not your fault," he says while using one of his hands to cup your cheek, "I just don't want to rush it."
