♡ BIRTHDAY DRABBLE ♡ FOR  @setgraced​♡  

“Hey, Akaashi-kun!!”

Nariko called out to her underclassman, seeing as he had left his classroom. It was a few minutes before all club activities were to commence. That, along with the Girls’ team practice hours. Of course, Nariko ( and a few other people ) had something else in their mind as well.

Akaashi’s birthday.

Both of their teams were tasked with doing something for the second year setter, and she was assigned to keep him busy. For until they got everything ready, that is.

“Ah, hello, Nariko-san.”

The setter responded, seeing as she paced towards his direction once she got his attention.

“Is something the matter?”

Usually, when they approach each other on a time like this, it has something to do with who is going to use the gym that day or something else practice-related.

“Not really. Besides this one thing.”

She started her response, being a tad careful not to spoil the surprise. And not being too vague to confuse her friend, either.

“We’re going to have joint practice today, is this okay with you?”

At this point of writing, joint practices between the Boys’ and Girls’ teams are quite a frequent occurrence, usually every two weeks. Of course, there are times in which those serve to make up for lost days of practice or turn into an impromptu practice match somehow. The captains are to blame, natch.

“Of course. I don’t mind. Does Bokuto-san know about it?”

“Heh, of course he does. We…planned it while in class.”

Events like this result in Nariko to not care much about behaving properly in class, it seems. Not that it was the first time, either. That’s not something she’s proud of, regardless. Akaashi wasn’t surprised about it either, given that he’s used to dealing with Bokuto’s own antics in and outside of practice hours…AND he’s seen Nariko sneak into the gym from the window enough times to start treating it as normal.

This only caused him to sigh and glance at her as if he wanted to comment on it but didn’t need to, knowing she doesn’t need one. At the same time, the bell rang.

“Oh, before I forget…” The third year suddenly recalled, pulling out her phone to a text message from Konoha, apparently. He was the one that would inform her of what is going on in the gym while she was out. “The coaches will be a little late today. Paperwork, I assume. At least we’ll have plenty of time for warm-up.”

She laughs, moving herself behind Akaashi and gently ushers him forward.

“A certain captain is waiting for you with the others at the gym. Let’s go.”

The way she announces it can be interpreted as being teasing or her simply wanting to see the second year fluster. Given who is the setter dating, it’s not surprising, to say the least.

A couple of minutes later, they reach the outside of the gym. They did attract some attention on the way, but not enough to make a commotion. Akaashi’s shoulder felt a tad sore after tha trip of theirs, though.

“You…didn’t need to be this pushy, Nariko-san.”

“Sorry…But we’re here at last!”

They open the door and march in to the sight of the gym being slightly decorated with balloons and ribbons ( slightly because they’ll have to remove them before practice even begins for real ), a couple of people from both teams being already gathered there, holding party poppers and letting them go off once the setter came in.

“Surprise!! Happy birthday, Akaashi!!”

Is what echoed throughout the gym, right after the small sequence of explosions coming from everyone’s poppers.

What follows right afterwards is a certain captain running for a hug and tackle towards his vice captain and boyfriend, people laughing, the managers showing up with the cake, everyone eating up, then clean the place as the coaches show up. Then, practice ensues, along with the usual accompanying banter. And yes, presents come up but after practice, of course. Even the coaches had something to give.

                                     stick the landing bird boy / @setgraced

                  It’s not a great position for his knees, in anyway shape or form but Hinata does land on his feet. Sort of. It’s nothing like the spills he used to take when he first started but he definitely rolls his ankle in a way that can only be described as dangerous. Still he hops back up. 

                                        ❝ there! i did it! now let me see that spike! ❞

     There is notice of how the first year landed, and that wasn’t something he could just ignore. Landing on that just a bit more off, or had he rolled it just a tad more, this practice would’ve ended much sooner. Still, he sees Hinata jump back up with his usual spring, and hears his comment. Blinking, he stays quiet for a moment, then speaks up.

      “     You did. But be careful with how you land. Had you fallen just a bit differently, your              ankle might’ve made you say something else about now.      “

*:･ﾟ✧      /      NARIKO-SAN‌ :

It was the best and most relatable example she could come up with, as a form of exposition, yet felt a small instance of disappointment aimed towards the Setter’s difficulty to understand such a thing. Still, she couldn’t blame him; there are just some emotions and concepts one cannot simply understand, no matter how they present themselves.

She has great empathy for either group, yet Nariko always chooses to keep it hidden, or at least not act on it, lest she gets hurt, like how she had to feel her own heart break a while ago. 

Times like this are when she despises having such great empathy for others; it simply causes her more trouble than it’s worth in the end.

“C’est la vie, Akaashi, c’est la vie…Anyway, let’s go and do something to kill this doom-y and gloomy atmosphere caused by the whole conversation, okay?? Something entertaining, yet adrenaline inducing…Or something jubilant??”

     He didn’t think the conversation was all that negative, though given how closed off he was with feeling, Akaashi just shrugged. There was a part of him that wanted to ask why this would bring upon a gloomy atmosphere. Truthfully, he was enjoying this dissection of things he couldn’t understand, in hopes of possibly understanding the apparent     ‘ APPEAL ‘        of having such a deep hate-filled rivalry with someone, but of course, a conversation cannot stay so one-sided. So, despite his own desire to continue this topic, he nodded, but shrugged once more.

     “     It depends what you wish to discuss. I wasn’t feeling any sort of mood change in the           atmosphere due to our conversation, but if there were something else you wanted to          discuss, I’m all for it. Nothing that falls under that category you are desiring are coming to          mind, however.     “

     Did that come out to blunt? Or too wordy? Who knows. Akaashi may not be a man of many faces, but he could easily be a man of many words, and that was how he had to get his point across given his “ inability “ to express himself like the others. 

[setgraced]

*:･ﾟ✧      /     TAROU-SAN‌ :

The third year had no reason to hold back his tears…As if he’d hold back any other emotional state he has in stock on a normal day, that is. Moreover, Akaashi is someone very dear to Bokuto; a close friend, partner and they have been through quite a lot in the span of two years, both victories and losses.

He’s also close enough to let the Setter stay at his place when he feels lonely or even just hang out, with Bokuto entering his house anytime he felt the need to talk to his friend from up close. Finally, there was the most recent Training Camp and all subsequent events. Would it be so aberrant for the Ace to worry about his best friend?

He sniffled a bit more, with less intensity as he kept on, until the sound of constant sniffling finally stopped. He also let go of his friend, facing his eyes once more. Everything felt more coherent to his ears and Bokuto was more than capable of hearing what Akaashi had to tell him.

…Including that impromptu confession.

Akaashi likes him? That’s not implausible, since everyone who he hangs out with on a frequent basis like him, but more than as a friend?? Now that would have been a lot more surprising if it weren’t for what Bokuto labelled earlier this month as Akaashi acting weird. Still, it was quite pleasing to hear.

“Are you kiddin’ me, Akaashi?? There’s nothin’ weird about that!!”

He gently smacked Akaashi’s back before wrapping his arm around his shoulders, offering a soft squeeze. He was definitely about to reciprocate those feelings, if his following gesture of moving to grab his shoulders is of any indication.

“And since we’re already makin’ the confessions here…I like you too. Well, ALWAYS did, but I just didn’t know if you felt the same about me. I mean, uh…I don’t know if someone as diligent and reliable would ever like a guy like me.”

He then pouted, gaze facing the floor.

“Sometimes…I can overhear people sayin’ that I’m too much for them. Too loud. You don’t really think of that too, right?”

     His face may not express it well, but dammit...the relief he felt coursing throughout his tired body... Maybe he       WAS        over-exaggerating his worry that the impromptu confession via KUROO of all people in a large group chat would ruin him and Bokuto’s friendship. After all, thinking more clearly and not lying in his own self pity and lack of self worth, even if Bokuto     ABHORED      the idea of Akaashi being head over heels over him, he wouldn’t abandon him cold turkey either. They were teammates, best friends, and were always together. He couldn’t ignore how welcomed he was by not only the Ace, but the rest of his family as well. His own home was so lonely and quiet, and he always felt much more at peace away from here and with Bokuto and the rest of the family... No doubt he’d still be welcome, and Akaashi would’ve just had to fall out of love with Bokuto to keep his heart from remaining broken due to rejection.

          That was, of course,        IF       Bokuto didn’t just confess to him too.

     His eyes widened, and his breath hitched. Was he...dreaming that? Had the dangerous amount of sleeping he’d done these past few days finally get to him? Was he still asleep actually? But no, the other just kept going, and Akaashi felt himself shake a bit because of how in disbelief he was in. 

     . . .     A guy like him? Someone who wasn’t afraid to be as expressive as he was, not afraid to show his soft side, his emotional side, just     ALL      his sides? A guy like him is the kind of guy he wished he could be. Everything some people might have found    ANNOYING    about Bokuto were reasons Akaashi was in love with him, among other reasons. 

      Without thinking, he took hold of Bokuto’s hands, and then moved one to the boy’s cheek, urging him to look him in the eyes. His own steely blue eyes stared deeply, and intently. Were they glassy as well? Maybe. He might be close to tears, but years of keeping those feelings down and under control kept him from allowing them to spill. However, considering what was going on, that was an easy wall to break down. All Bokuto had to do was say a few certain words to make those years become meaningless and irrelevant. 

     “     Bokuto-san... If  you were ever too much for me, would I spend all that time at your           home? Would I stay after practice for extra practice with you? Bokuto-san... Even if you          are too loud for some people, or too much for some people...You’ve never felt that way to me.     “

HEADCANON : CATAPLEXY 

Alright, so quick tw for underage drinking cause that’s gonna spring up! tw: underage drinking

So in this post I talked about Akaashi’s health, as well as his narcolepsy. I touched upon the fact he also suffers from cataplexy, though I’ll admit at the time of that post, I didn’t read too much into cataplexy. Thanks to the discord server I’m in, I’ve went ahead and did more research and read more articles about cataplexy, and aside from the fact it explains more to me about WHY Akaashi is as emotionally quiet as he is, it’s also interesting to try and reason why he’s not only terrified of feeling sudden emotions, but also how he envies quietly everyone else who gets to freely express themselves with a wide range of emotions as they want.

So quick google definition of cataplexy:  a medical condition in which strong emotion or laughter causes a person to suffer sudden physical collapse though remaining conscious.

It looks like a seizure, but the difference is that little tid bit at the end and how it can be triggered: the person suffering is conscious during the attack, and a strong emotion can cause it. He only ever had one attack, thankfully, in junior high. He got over excited and happy about his parents having said they might be able to attend one of his violin recitals, and as a result, had an attack and was rushed to the hospital because at the time, no one even knew he had narcolepsy, or suffered cataplexy as well. Note, you CAN have narcolepsy without having to worry about cataplexy. Akaashi is just unfortunate to have that type of narcolepsy.

Once it was diagnosed he had narcolepsy (something that was always thought he might have, but his parents didn’t look too into it since he didn’t randomly pass out like they thought happened with narcolepsy), he was recommended he take anti depressants to help with any possible attacks in the future. His parents, however, were never fans of that, and figured since Akaashi was brought up in a pretty neutral-emotion home, and how this happened because he got overly excited, they told him to just keep his emotions on a very down low. His parents themselves are very neutral people and don’t express themselves ever. They speak very monotone, and despite working in a field of art, are very casual and lack luster in every aspect outside of their artwork. And since it did work for a few years for him to be how he is seen in the show, he never really nagged about it.

So come his first year of high school, people at Fukurodani just see him as that quiet emotionless kid. However, it made him a “target” for people to ask him about clubs. At that point, he wanted to keep doing music, but considering his parents never went to any of his concerts or recitals, he figured he’d join something else to keep him out of the house since he was home alone most of the time, and something he’d be less disappointed that his parents wouldn’t go to. Low and behold, someone went and asked him if he wanted to join volleyball. He was tall enough, and figured, “Sure why not?” and since then, he was pleasantly surprised he was not only good at it, but liked it. 

He also seemed to like it more because he felt himself feel less paranoid about expressing himself, though he still kept a rather stone face. There was even one match in particular where he let himself scream out in joy with the rest of his teammates. And it brought his guard down immensely when he didn’t suffer an attack of cataplexy. It was the next day where he felt he could be expressive, and thankfully, his parents were home because he was sent a video he actually found funny from Bokuto, and had another attack.

He fell backwards thankfully his dad was able to catch him and gently place him on the ground and let his attack pass. His parents never mentioned him laughing, but they didn’t need to speak. They just had to look at him, and he was immediately reminded why he didn’t get to have the same luxury as his friends and teammates to be expressive like that. All it did was scare him even more about being expressive and laughing, and he just went back and continued to remain stone faced. 

Akaashi is so scared of those attacks that he “chooses” to not let himself feel or express himself, and seem like he’s an emotionless husk when in reality, he does feel really deeply. Due to this, his parents’ feelings about him being on anti depressants for something that isn’t depression, and the fact that most people only know him as the emotionless boy he is, Akaashi internalizes all sorts of feelings, and never looks excited. And this can, unfortunately, be deemed negative around other people, hence why his friend group in the show is mostly his teammates, and even then, his closest friend is Bokuto.

So during a short period of time, Akaashi found himself going through his dad’s stash of alcohol and drinking (he can’t remember what drove him to do it, but he just wanted a drink; most likely being fed up with having to live like this). He found the more he drank, the less paranoid he was about expressing himself and how his mind would make him go, “as long as i’m not gonna crack my head open, an attack won’t kill me....”.

He has drank so much alone at home that he did get black out drunk, and some of those cases, he did have an attack from being overly fatigue, and letting himself get triggered by all the intense emotions he would feel when he was drunk, since he’s VERY flighty and “fun” when he’s very drunk. He doesn’t remember most of the attacks since again, he’d be black out drunk, though there were mornings he’d wake up and find himself on the floor, or with a bruise or cut somewhere because he accidentally got hurt when he lost muscle control.

He drinks to feel, and it only stops and becomes something he does socially and CHILL once he starts going on anti depressants. When that happens is dependent on verses tbh. I’m in a discord server and he’s on it because he had a talk with my friend’s Bokuto about how he shouldn’t have to stop himself from feeling JUST because his PARENTS’ don’t want him to be on medication and would prefer him not feeling emotions.
