Boyfriends dare I say.. They knew what they were doing

[whichuniverseisthis]

Can we please talk about how beautiful Bokuto and Konoha's friendship actually is? Of course BokuAka are Soulmates and there’s no questioning that, and I'm actually a huge WashiKono sucker because of the stage plays, but like. The BokuKono friendship is so subtle and amazing, and chapter 392 is basically the summary of it all.

Because Konoha is the only character that treats Bokuto as a "normal ace" like he wants to be, he literally kicks Bokuto in his butt when he's down and he uses him as a decoy when he's at the top of his game, and yet he's the one seen cheering the most every time the team scores (fun fact, Konoha is also one of the two only characters in the whole manga that imitates the "hey, hey, hey!", the other being Kuroo).

And Bokuto is the one character (arguably together with Akaashi) that treats Konoha as more than just a "Jack-of-all-trades", always asking to him for the ball when the setter isn't available and always cheering for his plays, even when in a slump or after being used as a decoy. And it's made clear when in chapter 392 he tells him how "it was amazing for him to be able to set the ball reliably", which is true because the only other character that comes at the top of my mind who's able to do it without never having played setter is freaking Hoshiumi (Watari from Seijoh and Osamu were both setters at some point). Not to talk about the author’s note on Konoha, about how “difficult to notice his excellence is” (see Cestcirque’s page for it).

Their friendship really blows me away, especially after analyzing it a bit more closely, definitely one of the most underrated of the series. It makes me happy that they put Konoha too in the stage plays after the Tokyo Battle, and I'd really, really love to watch them just for the owl trio.

Relationship: Bokuto x Konoha Rating: Mature (no smut, making out with intention) WC: 7526 Warnings: Manga Spoilers!

Excerpt Below:

He was just one man, indistinguishable from the hundreds of fans surrounding him in the bleachers. Most of them wore MSBY Jackals T-shirts or other memorabilia, but he didn’t bother with it. If he even got the chance to see Bokuto in person, he didn’t want to give him the satisfaction. There’d be no deflating his head if he knew that he had a whole treasure trove of merch for the Jackals back at his apartment.

Konoha frowned and pulled out his keys, seeing the team’s mascot jackal head dangling among them. Shit, forgot about that one. He shrugged and shoved them back in his pocket. Not like Bokuto would see his keys. There was hardly any chance he’d get to talk to Bokuto at all.

“BOKUTOOOOOOO BEAM!” the stands roared around him, pointing directly at Bokuto down on the court. Konoha rolled his eyes but there was no wiping the affectionate grin from his face as he watched Bokuto point back up at the audience with a proud laugh.

That dumbass… he always knew how to stir up a crowd.

He had no doubt that if Bokuto’s career in volleyball suddenly ended, he’d easily make it as a TV personality or a game show host. As hilarious as that would be, he didn’t wish that fate on him anytime soon. Bokuto had finally reached a point where, no matter the ups and downs of the game he was playing, he was thriving as long as he was on the court. Even from the distance he sat, Konoha could see his happiness radiating off of him.

As he watched Bokuto refocus and murmur something to a teammate, Konoha sighed. Six years had passed since he stood on the same court as Bokuto, but it felt like yesterday. If he closed his eyes, he could practically smell the sweat, hear his teammates panting, and the shrill whistle for the next player to serve.

He used to cast a side-eye to Bokuto to gauge his mood, but he was never that good at it, not like Akaashi. Even if he were feeling down, he couldn’t boost his spirit like Komi or Sarukui could. And if what he needed was a resilient strength to back him up, no one could provide that like Washio.

Despite consistently falling short of what Bokuto needed, there were many times that Bokuto relied on him, looking to him to set a ball that Akaashi couldn’t get. More often, Konoha teased and chided him for being a dumbass while hanging out between classes, but it never hurt their friendship. Bokuto always came back to him, throwing his big, meaty arm around him and hugging him close to laugh in his ear. God, he missed that laugh.

He shivered suddenly, looking around at the people around him. They were all strangers. Usually, he’d be watching with Komi and Sarukui who both remained in Tokyo like he did, but both of them were busy. Akaashi was slammed with work, as usual, since one of his artists had fallen behind schedule again. Konoha could have watched the game from the comfort of his apartment, knowing for certain that it would be televised, but that wasn’t good enough for him. Bokuto was temporarily back in town and he wanted to see him physically, even if it was far away. He hated how much he missed him.

Akaashi: So what’s the new rule here?

Kuroo and Konoha: No daring Bokuto to do stupid stuff.

Akaashi: And why?

Bokuto, grumpily: Because I have no regard for my personal well being...

hil this is pepper but i was too lazy to log in: can i ask about the steps of infatuation and tsukiten eventually??

hi pepper~ \(^o^)/  

The steps of infatuation is BokuKono, and it was largely inspired by Konoha’s current concern: He's started to get the feeling that if you look at Bokuto's stupidity from a slightly different angle it's actually kinda genius and that pisses him off. 

The brain of Bokuto Koutaro is a mystery.

Some days Konoha Akinori even wonders if itreally exists or not – but to establish this fact, he would need to open Bokuto’sskull and look at the inside which is, without doubt, out of the question.

“It’s like Schrodinger’s cat,” he comments oneday.

“What is?” Akaashi asks back, slanted eyes notshowing a spec of interest.

“If you ask me like this it feels like youasked out of courtesy,” Konoha says.

“I did,” Akaashi confirms, dropping anothercleaned ball into the container. “But since we have nothing better to do, I canlend you an ear if you need it, Konoha-san.”

Eventually is a TsukiTen story I haven’t updated since January 2017, but the next chapter is 80% done. Here’s a snippet from Chapter 4:

Down in the cafeteria,Semi plops down in a chair in the far end, where the least number of studentscan hear them. Tendou sits right in front of him, scooting as close aspossible. Semi swallows his comments on personal space, readying himself forthe anecdote.

“Wakatoshi-kun says hehas no interest in love,” it starts.

“I’m surprised you eventhought about talking to Ushijima about love.”

“Well, he is so damnapproachable,” Tendou says, “sometimes I forget that he has the emotionalintelligence of a newborn child!”

Thanks for asking!^^

Pick out the title of the WIP that most intrigues you and I’ll post a little snippet of it or tell you something about it!!
