[hey-got-any-grapes]

Ok so I just had a panic attack at the literal SIGHT of a confederate flag and it was a lot so we gonna write some headcanons about that YAY! 🥰

My comfort character: Bokuto

⚠️ warnings: panic attack, anxiousness, racism, talk about slavery, fear, crying, hyperventilating, uncomfortable themes

Owl Man 🦉:

I want to see my little boy (here he comes) I want to see my little boy

N e ways, you and Bokuto are in America because he’s playing there later in the week.

You feel really good being back in America again because you were feeling kinda homesick in Japan.

There are so many things you want to show him in your home state

As you are walking around and enjoying your day, all of a sudden you see it.

“That” flag is sitting on top of someone’s Ford truck parked on the street.

You suddenly pull him back hard. He almost trips on his feet because of it.

Your breathing gets really hard and your eyes become teary really quickly.

You dashed back the way you came while ordering an Uber to take you back to your mom’s house immediately.

Bokuto immediately runs after you but you are just flying outta that situation.

When you get into the Uber, you realize you forgot about him in your panicked state.

So you decide to have the car wait until he’s caught up with you.

When he finally makes it into the back seat he is so confused.

He’s really dense so he won’t be able to read that you don’t wanna talk about it.

“Why did you run away all of a sudden y/n?”

“What happened?”

No response

He nor you says anything the rest of the ride.

As soon as you walk in the door you start BAWLING

“KO I’M SO SORRY I RUINED YOUR DAY BUT I WAS REALLY SCARED AND I PANICKED BECAUSE OF THAT STUPID FLAG THAT I SAW!”

He has no idea what to do or why exactly you are so upset and full of fear.

Mans is dummy so I doubt he payed attention in history a lot. Much less ANOTHER country’s history.

He just holds you and and starts tearing up himself because he doesn’t like to see his lil owl cry 😢

He goes to you room to cuddle you until you fall asleep.

When you wake up you finally feel a lot better.

You go to the kitchen because you can smell Taco Bell 🌮and you RUN 🏃🏾💨

Bokuto is near the counter unpacking the food for you two.

You don’t say anything until you are both seated on the couch together

You finally tell him why you got so scared earlier and it looks like his heart shattered into a million pieces.😢😞

He knows people were mean to you just because of who you were, but he had no idea that it went back that far into history

You tell him what that flag means and he doesn’t know how to process it

He felt so BAD that he had no clue what was going on before. 😥

Bokuto is a sensitive guy so then HE starts to cry and think about all that you’ve gone through just to survive.

He cannot take that his baby was fearing for their LIFE in a place they grew up.

It makes him sick that people really think in this way about people who look like you, even though you are not a bad person

Bokuto promises to be more aware of things like this in the future and mans REALLY means it

He doesn’t want anyone to feel this way while he’s around.

SO HE CALLS NERD KUROO WHO IS ACROSS THE GLOBE FOR HELP ON THE SUBJECT LMAO 😆

Kuroo also knows jack-shit about black history so he tells Bo to talk to someone WHO IS BLACK!

“Broo I gotta question?” “This better be good that you are calling at 3am bro” “ what can I do to make y/n feel safe because of r@cists?” “Idk hug her, buy food? Bo, talk to someone with her experiences like her parents or Aran.” “ THAT MAKES SENSE BRO THX☺️” “imma sleep now” BEEP

So he talks to your parents the next day about the situation yesterday and they seem really sad but not surprised.

He listens as they explain things that they went through and the severity of the problem in America.

You better BELIEVE he advocates for Black Lives Matter more than ever now. ✊🏾

He wants to educate people back home in Japan, and all his fans across the globe about this topic.

You are really proud that you could get a man as great as this one. ❤️❤️❤️

OK THIS MADE ME FEEL WAY BETTER EVEN THO HE AINT REAL! someone get me a bo-
