[ akaashi keiji ] : admiration

akaashi keiji, a man who doesn’t show emotions but feels too much; the man who prefers to keep everything at an arm’s distance but still make sure to remind his friends to take care of themselves; a man who continues to fight even during peril.

and then there is someone who he admires, aside from bokuto, that is. bokuto is a confident person, determined to win and never gives up, unless he was in one of his dejected modes. 

but you are different.

the way your brows furrowed in concentration as you tried to solve a maths problem that you don’t really get; the way your smile lights up the whole room as you excitedly talk to your friends about the little puppy you saw this morning when you walked to school; the way your confidence and determination that seems to radiate off of you in waves and giving their effect on everyone around you; the way you never fail to make someone smile even during their hardest time; the way you support him and his team during rough matches; the way you comfort him during loses.

you are something akaashi aspires to be. how strong you are even at every obstacle and barrier in your life, you are always ready to fight through it. even when you failed in something, you always picked yourself back up and try again. you never gave up in anything. you are always standing strong, never once your pillar waver. 

akaashi could never admit these thoughts out loud to you, not up close. he was a man of many things, but having to speak up his admiration to someone isn’t one of them.

maybe one day; one day he would be able to. right now, he’ll continue to admire you from afar.
