akaashi is nothing short of attentive. as perceptive as he’s known to be, he’s the type to pick up on the little cues and can definitively tell when something’s off. the boy has to put up with bokuto’s antics on the daily, identify and counter your mood swings it’s like a piece of cake.

he prolly won’t try to pry at first because he doesn’t want to come across as nosy or pushy. he deems it prudent to give you all the space you need if you’re feeling unwell, after all, he’ll always be there for you as soon as you feel comfortable enough to open up. however, he also knows when to take action and won’t hesitate to confront you if he notices you’re nowhere near of getting better.

he’s very lowkey about it— he doesn’t know how much of a counterproductive effect will ensue if he makes a big deal out of it, so he just says in the lowest, softest voice he has to offer “hey, you know you can always talk to me, right?” and if you're not crying by this point then let me tell you I Am.

have i told you how great of a listener akaashi is? because he is. like. the best listener ever. no cap. look you could be rambling about the dumbest thing in the world like a bad hair day or how your favorite serie had the shittiest ending you could ask for and he’ll just listen. word by word. no interruptions. you could go on for days and yet he’ll stay put and nod along. akaashi believes venting is a good coping mechanism and if all he can do for you is to listen, then let it out. he’s not going anywhere.

it’s really therapeutic because by no means he will try to make you feel less or downsize your pain. even if you consider your burdens to be silly, akaashi will assure you it’s none of the sort and you’re allowed to feel the way you do, because pain is still pain, and you don't need to compare it to others because your troubles are just as important.

sometimes you’ll get distracted because oh akaashi just keeps holding your hands into his large, setter ones and doing gentle circular motions and it feels quite nice— way too nice, to be honest, and you’re feeling a lot of feelings so you try to look up— wrong move, too, you don’t know if you can hold on his dark, piercing eyes looking right into yours for so long, so you hope he’ll look away so you can pull yourself together, but the thing is, he never does it. right now you’re all he can see.

akaashi has never been big on pda, must be said, but there’s no way he won’t indulge to a little physical comfort once you’re done ranting. no words, just him silently holding you closer to his chest and soothingly rubbing your back… you can almost hear him whispering “thanks for trusting me with this”.

he won't talk much afterwards, but when he actually decides to speak up, he never fails to say what you need to hear. it’s crazy. like he just speedread the pages of your heart and picked apart what was making you so upset. you can’t help but tear up a bit and he can’t help but kiss your tears away, which only causes you to sob harder but oh well.

later on that day you get a extremely-rare-yet-subtly-softer akaashi. it’s on the little gestures, like the way his hugs are tighter, his smiles last longer, and how he suddenly offers you a cone of your favorite ice-cream— ok, he’s not that subtle, but there’s no harm in pampering you for the rest of the day, is it?

ok so get this straight: this blueberry lacks emotional intelligence so it’s only normal for him to struggle a whole lot with this sort of stuff. don’t blame him if he has a hard time reacting to your emotional baggage, all he has known to do with his is to ignore and pretend it doesn’t exist.

this being said, tobio is not That Dense. it’ll take him time, but soon or later he’ll notice something is the matter with you. he has no idea what might have caused it, or what is the said matter, but at least he’s getting the general picture.

from now on he’s absolutely clueless as to what to do so he just decides to give you a little bit of space and pray for the best. there’s also the possibility he’s just making things up so he kinda chooses to wait and see but if it becomes too obvious for him to ignore, then he’ll have to do something about it !

“did something happen?” he’ll probe awkwardly but equally concerned. now, if you go and tell him otherwise, he’ll be the one upset, because that’s evidently a Lie, and he doesn’t like when you lie, especially to him. so maybe he starts pressing on it, a little bit bolder. and speaking a little bit louder. and maybe he snaps because you keep denying the obvious and he’s worried !!! bc there’s clearly something bothering you !!! and he knows he’s not precisely the most reliable person but he won’t mind listening if that eases your burden !!!

but now you’re crying, and he’s doomed, because kageyama tobio is no good with crying, and he’s growing anxious because it feels like he’s partially responsible of it, but he doesn’t know what to do to fix it, but you won’t stop crying, and all he can do now is panicking and wiggling his arms restlessly around but without actually touching you because he’s straight up terrified that you might end up breaking if he touches you but he just does not know what else TO DO-

so kageyama goes with that is safe to him, though he isn’t really sure it’s actually safe, but he pulls you in for a hug regardless. a stiff one, but a hug at the end of the day. he envelops your figure with such delicateness— almost as if you were made of spun glass, and you can't tell whether his arms are trembling or not because you’re pretty much a shaking mess yourself, so you just melt into his touch, finding comfort in the familiarity of his awkward hug.

you cry into his shoulder for minutes, maybe hours? who knows, none of you is keeping the track of time, being as hyperly-aware of each others’ presences as you were at the moment. kageyama started to hold in his breath before he could even notice, but in no way he tried to pull away. he just can’t bring himself to do it with you between his arms. so he stills, hoping you won’t find it so uncomfortable, and for some reason, one of his hands makes its way atop your head, carefully roaming through the locks of your hair. it’s not a conscious act, that’s for sure, but it feels right to him so he doesn’t considers to stop.

it pains you physically to be the one breaking the position but you think you stained his shirt enough with your tears, even so, that seems to be the last of tobio’s concerns as he becomes an apologetic and flustered disaster and starts barking apologies left and right as soon as he can and it takes a lot of reassurement and convincing to calm him down. kageyama still makes sure to let you know he’s sorry for being so abrupt, but you wave it away. everything seems lighter now for some reason.

later, you end up venting to him because you’re convinced it would be a crime to deny something to that face of his, and it’s surprisingly healing to have him listening so intently and thoughtfully in spite of the scale of the problem. he doesn’t really says anything at all, mainly because he refuses to mess it up once again, but you don’t particularly mind. you’ve had enough comfort from his actions.

in the aftermath, a carton of milk keeps showing up religiously in your desk everyday after lunch time. there’s no note or sign, but you don’t need such thing to know the face behind it. but you won’t tease him about it, not yet.
