few months later, and bokuto and akaashi never talked again. when they pass by each other, they both keep their heads down, scared to make eye contact. students have wondered what happened to the two of them. months ago, they were inseparable. eating lunch together. walking home together.
bokuto has never seen the younger smile fully. he's only seen chuckles, grins. but never the sincere smile. and bokuto has never expected that the younger would like him, and confess it that easily. if it was him, he'd never leave alone the person he likes, but wouldn't properly confess.
-
"konoha," bokuto starts. "i got a problem." as soon as he says it, konoha starts laughing so loud that students outside class 3-1 can hear it. "i knew it!" bokuto hushes him, embarrassed that people might hear about his crush.
"he likes me too. but i haven't confessed, and it's been a few months. i don't know if he still likes me." bokuto sees his friend's expression. he looks like a fool, with his wide eyes and opened mouth. "i know, i'm stupid. but i just realized, like two months ago!" konoha shakes his head, from how dumb his friend is.
"just go to him, man. just talk, before he actually forgets you." bokuto nods, biting his fingernails from nervousness.
-
"hey. uh, is akaashi here?" bokuto approaches a second year. "oh, he actually called in sick today. he's not here." the second year responds. "oh, thank you." the third year walks away, only thinking about how akaashi is doing.

"good evening, mrs. akaashi. is keiji around?" akaashi's mom opens the door for the teenage boy and lets him. "yes, but he's sick. he's usually grumpy when he's sick, but go on up, sweetheart. just make sure not to get sick, alright?" akaashi's mom smiles at him. he really looks like his son.

bokuto knocks three times. when he hears the other say, "come inside." with a cough, he immediately goes inside the room. "bokuto-san?" the older sighs when he sees how akaashi looks. lying on his bed, it's obvious he's sick, but still so so beautiful. "akaashi." bokuto calls, with a frown on his face.
"how are you feeling? do you need anything? have you eaten? don't forget to take your medicine." bokuto ignores the look on akaashi's face. "you really are grumpy when you're sick." the older scratches his head. "water. water, please." the older rushes to get water.
bokuto sits at the side of akaashi's bed and fixes his pillow to sit him up. the younger stares at him, with furrowed eyebrows. "i've never seen you like that. you know, with that look on your face. it's like you hate me." bokuto laughs, but it's obvious it's fake. akaashi's face softens. "i'm sorry, bokuto-san." the other laughs, for real this time. "i miss hearing you call my name."
"are you turning red because you're sick, or because you got butterflies from what i said?" the older teases the sick teenager, earning a glare from him. "you're cute." bokuto teases more. "stop it. i'm gonna kick you out of this house."
"i missed you, keiji." bokuto says, now with a serious look on his face, looking directly into akaashi's eyes. "bokuto-san. stop playing with me just because i like you, okay?" akaashi plays with his fingers, coughing once or twice. the other takes his fingers and holds it like it's the most fragile thing ever.
"i would never play with you, pretty." bokuto whispers and kisses akaashi's hands. the younger shakes, a weird feeling in his throat. then he feels the older inching closer. "bokuto-san, you might get sick." bokuto holds akaashi's face, and stares at his lips.

"then i'd get sick. can i kiss you?" they stare at each other, before the younger nods. and their lips meet each other. bokuto moves his head to the right, akaashi moves his to the left. the younger's hold on bokuto's shirt tighten. they're both loving what they're doing. loving each others' lips. loving each other's love.
"i like you. please go out with me." the older whispers, still holding akaashi's face. the younger nods, "yes. yes." he smiles.
and that is the first time bokuto kotaro has seen akaashi keiji smile fully.

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.

Galduta
What seperates beasts from men isn't the language we speak or any such drivel taught to us in school. It isn't the way we walk or our intelligence that sets us apart. Some would have you believe that it is our ability to think and reason that makes us fundamentally different from the creatures that inhabit the world. That way of thinking, my friends, is entirely wrong. What seperates us from them and them from each other, is simply the skin that we all wear
