You did make it on time sweetie! I’m sorry this is two days late (especially since it sounds like you had a stressful day on Valentine’s) but hopefully you can still enjoy this!
Not usually one to get his feathers in a ruffle, Akaashi’s face betrays his wary irritation. Not only has he managed to miss Valentine’s day with you, but it was now two days past and he’d yet to even talk to you!
Granted, both of you had been busy and he’s so thankful you aren’t the type to lay all the blame on his shoulders. Now, despite the exhaustion he feels at the end of a long day filled with school and practice, he’s hurrying to your house as fast as his legs will carry his sore body.
Before he can even knock, the door to your house is open and you’re flying into his arms; you must have been watching for him from the window. A soft smile plays across his lips as he inhales through his nose, breathing in your scent and letting it wash over him like a soothing balm.
“Happy belated Valentine’s day,” you say, breath teasing the small hairs of his neck.
He hums appreciation of your affection, pecking soft kisses to your cheek.
“I brought you something,” he announces. “But I’ll have to let you go to get it.” You shake your head, increasing the firmness of your hold and he chuckles. “I promise you’ll be back in my arms in no time, but I’d really like to give it to you.”
Sighing, you pull away to give him room to reach into his bag. As he withdraws the gift, your eyes widen; it’s the biggest chocolate box you’ve ever seen.
“One upside to being late for Valentine’s day,” Akaashi says with a coy smile, “is that all the holiday specific chocolate is on sale. So I figured, what the heck, go big or go home right?”
Your laughter makes his heart sing. “Let’s watch a movie and gorge ourselves on half priced chocolate,” you encourage, pulling on his hand.
He smiles wider, following you to the den where you proceed to flip on Netflix as he settles on the couch. Nestling between his legs, you open the box, pick up a piece and hold it expectantly before his lips but he skirts around it to kiss you instead.
“Couldn’t wait to have the sweetest piece,” he whispers and you giggle.
Who knew your normally stoic boyfriend could be so sweet and corny?
