Akaashi’s birthday is Dec 5

And for Bokuto’s birthday I shattered his dreams in my fic Flightless Owl.

What could POSSIBLY happen to Akaashi...hm...

“Wear something warm, I want to take you somewhere.”

“Another date?” Bokuto asked. 

Akaashi laughed, “No. But I think you’ll like it, still.”

(the final chapter - Taking Flight. Epilogue still to come.)

I know there’s all of maybe 6 people who are reading/following my fic Flightless Owl... and I am on a mini hiatus for a few days. I wrote over 20k (plus another few k that got cut before publishing and stuff that hasn’t found a place in a chapter yet) in like two weeks and I’m a bit burned out. Please forgive me, I’m going to take some time and recoop ... but I’m not giving up on the project.

EPILOGUE. It’s over, guys. It’s done. I had a GREAT time writing it and I hope you guys enjoyed reading it. :) Thank you for all your support, it has meant the world to me.

--Akaashi paused, looking back at the smaller boy to find those sharp eyes fixed on him with a shrewd curiosity. He wasn’t asking if Akaashi hoped Bokuto would be able to get back to it. He was asking if his muscles would allow it, if they would simply die out, or if he would fly too close to the sun and destroy himself. Akaashi looked away, uncomfortable because he didn’t think Kenma would like his spitfire answer, yes of course just give it time.-

(this short chapter is simply to keep up with the continuation of time progressing in the story without a giant paragraph of exposition in another chapter. Sorry it’s so short but I’ve got a NICE JUICY LONG ONE COMING UP Y’ALL BUCKLE TF UPPPPP)

If you guys ever wonder why some chapters take longer than others... it’s cause of this big potato. (I call my dog Pup-tato)

-As the minutes trickled by and Bokuto stared out his window, his heart hammered harder and faster as he waited, crawling up into his throat, his stomach turning upside down and trying to punch out of his ribs. When Akaashi appeared at the top of the street Bokuto turned away, too afraid to watch him come closer. He steadied his breath as best he could, despite the shaking, and when Akaashi came in his room, everything fell out of him in a huff.-

(we finally find out what’s been going on with Akaashi!)

The day of the tournament Bokuto took a train to the stadium and marveled at how easy it was becoming. His body was recovering well, and with how much he was exercising his arms the crutches weren’t difficult to maneuver with anymore. Honestly he thought he might need to get bigger shirts because the one he was wearing was awfully tight in the chest and arms. He wondered if he could do that badass thing where you flex and rip your shirt off. Now he wanted to try it in front of Akaashi and hoped he would applaud the feat.
