In Another Life (BokuAka short story)
“Hey.. kaaashi?” Bokuto asked, hesitation covering his words. He leaned back on his hands as he looked at the large glass wall in front of him, the bright lights of the city and stars mixing together to make a breathtaking sight.
Glancing for the white haired teen, Akaashi sent him a confused look before looking towards the large window, “What is it, Bokuto-san.” He questioned, sitting criss cross with his knees touching the cold ground as his hands played with one of his shoelaces.
“Do y- no, have you ever thought about death?” Bokuto let out a deep sigh while he scratched at the back of his neck. Akaashi stared at his captain but before he could answer the question the white haired teen spoke up again, “Not like, you know.. dying but like the after life. Y’know?”
“I- are you asking if i think there are other lives after this one?” Akaashi queried, Bokuto quickly nodded his head up and down in agreement. “Um well, I never really thought about it until now, but I guess there could be another life waiting for me after this one. But i’m too not sure, it sounds rather stuipd if you think about it.” He answered, closing his eyes while he talked, trying his best to give his most honest reply.
“Alright fair enough answer for me,” Bokuto flopped backwards, his back hitting the concrete ground below him, his arms and legs spread out wide as he stared at the ceiling that was dull not like the view outside. “If there are other lives after the one right now, do you think we’ll meet in again? Like in another life?” Akaashi eyes widened at his captain’s words, when Bokuto didn’t hear a response he spoke up again, this time in a more exciting and cheerful tone like he always had. “What if we are owls in the next life!? That would be amazing, flying through the never ending sky with wings!”
Akaashi joined Bokuto’s loud laugh that echoed off the empty room and down the halls, “Bokuto-san what else would you fly with if you were a bird?”
“W-well.. Shut up.” Bokuto puffed out his cheeks while crossing his arms, turning his head away for Akaashi, who was still chuckling at him.
His little emo faze passed rather quickly as Bokuto whipped his head back towards Akaashi, “Astronauts…” He whispered, his gold eyes widened in pure excitement and shock.
“What..?”
“Astronauts, Akaaash! We could be astronauts in another life!” Bokuto beamed, pointing one of his fingers at the stars, that filled the night sky, that were blocked by the window. “If we are astronauts we could be with the stars not just looking at them from below! HA!” He let out a squeak of enthusiasm, just the thought of it brought joy to the big goof ball.
‘I think I would like to just look at the stars right now but maybe in another life.. I could be with the brightest one of all.’ Akkashi thought with a smile on his face as stared at his captain.

(No idea what this is, but yeah. Thought of this because I saw art of BokuAka sitting in front of window that showed a forest and couldn’t stop thinking about if it was a story, so I added another life to it and this is what I got. I would have added the fanart that but I cannot find the artist, but credits because it looked really good. Also I hoped it makes sense, and I hoped you enjoyed this thing.)
