Panic was written in your eyes as you spotted your ex-boyfriend through the glass, sitting at a table among the rest of your friends. You wonder just why he's there until you remember that he is also friends with f/n, the one who initially introduced the two of you.
It’s not like you still have feelings for him - oh hell nah - but your relationship didn’t really end on good terms. You were fine with it, sort of relieved actually, but you wanted him to look at you and see how good you were doing without him.
However, the truth is, you aren’t doing so great. Of course, breaking up with him was a huge improvement in your life, but besides that, not much has changed since the last time you were with him. Especially, in your love life.
You tried, but most of your dates didn’t work out. They were either boring or trying to get in your pants as fast as possible. For a quick moment you believed your ex when he said you wouldn’t find anyone if you left him, but again, it would be better to spend the night with the guy trying to sleep with you than being with him.
You look down at your outfit, a button-up shirt with a lace bra underneath and light jeans. Simple, but the combo along with some accessories and a cute baguette purse looked rather elegant. Yet, it wasn’t sexy, nor ‘I’m doing better without you, asshole”.
You turn back to the street side of the sidewalk and spot a car a few steps away from you. You walk to the window and look at your reflection, wondering how you could fix yourself. You decide to open your shirt, leaning down a bit to not let other people in the street see your boobs, then make a knot with its ends. You fix your hair, apply a little more lipstick, and check your ass out. But you still think something is missing. Lastly, you dig your hand into your bra and pull your boobs upwards. As if all this wasn’t enough you check out yourself one last time.
While at it, the window you were using as a mirror slowly made its way down to reveal one of the most handsome men you have ever seen in your life. For a moment you think you have already seen him somewhere, but you decide it was probably in one of your dreams.
“Hey.” He says, so nonchalant it doesn’t even seem he’s just seen you fix your tiddies.
You keep staring at his golden eyes in complete disbelief. “You... were there... the whole time.” He chuckles at your mortified face.
“Yep, I was. But don’t worry, I closed my eyes when you were, uh,” He motions his hands over his chest. “yeah.”
A deep sigh of defeat falls out your lips, the thought of unliving yourself very strong in your mind. You take a step away from his car and he finally steps out of it.
Just from the sight of him behind the window, you knew he was big, but your jaw drops when his 6'3 figure of broad shoulders, muscles, thick thighs under his slacks, and Dorito-shaped torso stands in front of you. Your brain couldn't comprehend how someone so damn attractive could exist.
“What are you fussing about anyway? You look great!” He points his hands ahead, gesturing for you up and down. "I mean, you already looked good before, so I don't understand."
"You see that dark-haired guy on a table inside?" You nod your head in the direction of your ex-boyfriend.
"The one in a blue shirt?"
"Yes. That's my ex. It's my friend's birthday today and I forgot they're friends, the possibility of him being here didn't even cross my mind."
"And... you want him back or something?"
"Oh, God, no." You shake your head. "He's an asshole. I just want him to see that I'm doing good- no, great, without him."
"Hm, I see." He nods. "Well, you're very pretty, I can't even believe he was able to pull you off. You don’t have to worry about him." You feel your cheeks heating up at the praises and you thank him quietly. He checks the time on his watch before turning to you again. “I have to go meet my friends inside, but it was nice to meet you…”
“Y/n.”
“Y/n, wow, what a beautiful name. I’m Bokuto.”
“Thanks, it was nice meeting you too, Bokuto.”
He gestures for you to walk ahead of him like the gentleman he is. You open the door of the pub when a group of drunk guys also decides to leave, one of them is destined to bump into you but a large hand finds your waist, spins you, and pulls you in, making your front meet a hard surface that you soon acknowledge as Bokuto’s chest.
“Are you okay?” He asks while the men pass by, bumping into his back while they do so.
“Yeah, I’m okay, thank you.”
By now you have no doubts he can see your flustered cheeks.
Bokuto lets you go and smiles.
“Hey, dudes, look where you’re going!” He shouts back to the group that only responds with a shrug of shoulder and mumbles.
“I guess I’ll see you around, Y/n. Have a good night.”
“You too, Bokuto.”
You start walking towards your friend’s table but turn your head back to look at him one last time. Your heart beats faster when you see the dual color-hair man is looking at you too. You smile giggly because of him.
“Oh my God, Y/n, who was that with you?!” One of your friends asks as soon as you reach the table.
As you open your mouth to respond, your gaze meets your ex’s. He looks at you with slightly narrowed eyes, clearly interested in your answer too. The words fall out of your lips before you can even think.
“He’s my new boyfriend.” You answer while taking a seat beside your best friend.
“What?!” They’re shocked.
Not because they don’t think it would be possible for you to be with someone as good-looking as him but because of the same reason you were shocked when you saw him.
“He’s the one you were out on a date with last week?!”
“Yep.” You put all your confidence in your words, to be as convincing as possible.
“Wait, so you’re dating MSBY’s Bokuto?” Your ex asks, genuine disbelief in his voice.
So that’s where you saw him, you think.
“Yes. It’s pretty recent, so we’re keeping it low key.”
“He’s super hot.”
“I’m glad you found him, you've been looking for someone for so long.”
You catch a glimpse of your ex’s mouth curving upwards a bit.
“Yeah, he’s amazing. And super sweet.”
“I saw the way he was looking at you.” Bf/n nudges your side. “You got him wrapped around your finger.” You just laugh away, dropping the conversation.
Soon your friends also let go of it and start talking about something else. Suddenly, you feel your phone vibrating and take it to see a message from Bf/n.
>> since uh when??
you NEVER showed me a pic of him
<< soooo i lied :D i met him outside the pub
>> is this bc of ex/n?
<< yeah
>> god y/n
but what i said was true he was looking at you differently
pls tell me you gave him your number
<< i didn’t
>> i’m gonna kill you istg
“Excuse me, that gentleman at the bar sent you this drink.”
You look up from your phone to the waiter beside you, who put down a Grasshopper in front of you and tilted his head towards Bokuto, who was sitting with three more guys.
His smile grows bigger when your eyes meet and he raises his own cup in a toast, then winks at you.
“Something sweet like you, he said.” You switched your gaze to your friend beside you partly to hide your blush and to see her reaction as well.
“I told you.” She whispered.
Everyone at the table made a big deal out of it and started teasing you, well, not everyone, since a scowl took place on your ex’s face.
The night went on and near the end of it, your friends decide to go to a club. It’s not like you didn’t want to go, but you didn’t really want to, you only wanted to plop down on your bed and sleep till noon. Everybody gathers their things to leave and gets up from the table.
“Won’t you say ‘bye’ to your boyfriend, Y/n?” Ex/n asks, emphasizing the word ‘boyfriend’. It’s obvious he still doesn’t believe in your little lie. “Does he even let you go to the club without hi-?”
“Hey, Y/n!”
Like work from destiny, the player jogs up to you. You turn around in his direction and mouth a ‘please play along’ before putting a hand on the back of his neck and pulling him down for a kiss.
Bokuto’s eyes go wide and he stiffens momentarily, but the soft feeling of your lips on his cause him to kiss you back and hold your waist against him. You hum in the kiss, prolonging it for a little longer than you should then pull away. His mouth moves forward, searching for yours.
The rest of your friends watch the scene in front of them with their jaws dropped and Bf/n almost pulls her phone to record it.
“I was about to go talk to you, Darling.” You say, straightening the fabric of his shirt on his chest. “The girls want to go to a club, you don’t mind if I tag along with them, right?”
Bokuto takes a quick glance at the man beside you and quickly understands what’s going on.
“Of course I don’t, Princess.” He holds you tighter and raises your hand to his mouth to place a chaste kiss on its back. “But you promised me cuddles tonight.” He pouts then dips his head down to get closer to you. “You’ll have to make it up to me later.”
His words make your stomach cold and your breath uneasy. Ex/n shifts in his place, uncomfortable, and cleats his throat, making both your attentions go to him.
“Oh, hey, man.” The ace greets him.
“Uh, where did you two meet?” Your ex raises a brow.
“In a coffee shop. I went there with Tsum-Tsum and she was ordering in front of us.” Bokuto answers.
“That’s funny ‘cause Y/n doesn’t like coffee.”
“I was there for their red velvet cake.” You resort.
“Okay, so you met in a coffee shop on a random day, and just like that you started going out?”
You and Bokuto take a look at each other and start nodding, both in the same place with the act.
“Yep, exactly like that.”
“Hey, you’re her ex, right?”
“Yes, I am.”
“I’d say it’s a shame that you weren’t able to appreciate her as she deserves, but if you did she wouldn’t be with me so, I guess I gotta thank you actually.”
You see a vein popping on Ex/n’s forehead. You hug Bokuto’s torso and get on your tiptoes to kiss his cheek.
“You flatter me too much, Baby. I think you just earned those cuddles.” You turn to your friends. “Sorry, girls, we can schedule the club for another day.”
“Sure! Go have fun with your man.” Bf/n says with a smirk.
“Bye, y’all!”
You take Bokuto’s hand in yours and walk away as he waves to your friends. When you get outside, you stop.
“Oh my God, thank you so much. And sorry for putting you in that situation.” You smile apologetically.
“No problem, I didn’t mind that at all. Especially the kiss. I didn’t mind that at all.” He repeats and you feel your face burning.
“Ex/n didn’t believe me when I lied and said you were my boyfriend so I panicked.” You explain.
“Well, if you let me take you out, it won’t be a lie anymore.” He tilts his head to the side, waiting for your response.
“c’mon, baby, i know you can do this.” bokuto insists, caressing your cheek softly.
you started at the meat in front of you rather scared, there’s still a lot more to go in, and doubts fill your mind.
“kou, it won’t fit. ’s too big.” you shake your head continuously.
“it’ll fit, angel, believe me. just one more, c’mon.” koutarou leans to you and kisses your forehead. “you are my good girl, aren’t you? hm?”
you nod, looking at him with innocent and sincere eyes.
“then be a good girl and do this for me. just one inch, okay, baby?”
“okay…”
you take a deep breath and turn your gaze back to the flesh before you.
you till your head a little to the sides, trying to find the best angle to take it.
“you got this, angel, i’ve seen you do this before, you can take it now, too, c’mon.” he pecks your cheek, the gesture and the words plant a smile on your lips.
“okay, i can do this.” you mumble to yourself.
you angle yourself and bring the meat to your mouth, taking a big bite on the burger.
“yeah, baby!” bokuto cheers, taking a napkin from the table to wipe the ketchup that drips on the corner of your mouth.
“there’s only two bites left, you can do this.”
“kou, baby, i’m full already.” you whine, bringing a hand to your stomach.
“i made a bet with tsum-tsum to see who’s s/o could eat all of this burger, angel, you’re not gonna disappoint me, are you?”
he looks at you with pleading eyes, making it hard for you to go against his request, he just looks to cute with that little pout.
“ugh, okay, okay, i’m just doing this because i love you.” he grins widely.
“i love you more, angel.” koutarou quickly and gently pecks your lips, making his lips red from the ketchup left in your mouth.
even though you had a bellyache later on, you ate the whole hamburger and bokuto sent a picture of you and the empty plate to his setter, earning a frustrated groan from the blond since his partner couldn’t even eat half of the food.
