      It's a Friday and school just ended, you go to the usual spot to meet Akaashi before he has to practice. A bench under the tree, on the opposite side of the gym, giving you guys time to talk, before making it to the gym.

After some time you see Akaashi turn the corner, from sitting on the bench you stand up to greet him. Smiling as you make your way toward him. 

"There you are, I was wondering if you ever were gonna come," you say jokingly.

"Sorry, that was my bad I was caught up with some schoolwork," Akaashi says. In reality, he was writing in his notebook about you. He has a notebook, where he keeps specific tabs about you. Your likes and dislikes, also including plans about what he would want in the future, plans like...

"Y/N, I was wondering if after practice today, would you want to come over to my house to study?" Akaashi says walking.

"Sure, our AP test is coming up, and I'll be lucky if I get 3/5," you say shyly, following after him. (Headcanon that Akaashi takes AP classes) *ALSO I SWEAR I'M GONNA FAIL THAT TEST!!!*

"No comment," Akaashi says as he continues to walk.

"Hey why'd you say that?" you ask, confused and a bit offended.

"Well.. what did you think I would say?" Akaashi asks curious.

"I don't know, just not that, maybe something encouraging at least," you say, trying to defend yourself.

"If I say something encouraging either one, you would hype yourself up thinking your gonna do well,  then do just below that, and get all sad and guilty," 

"When have I ever done anything like that?" you ask not believing that you would do anything like that.

 "Remember your Biology finial, you said that you wanted to get at least a 90, I said how you've been studying so your gonna do amazing, but then you got 89. You ended up with a B for that class, you stayed in you room a whole week during summer, all depressed."

"It dropped my perfect GPA," you say defending yourself.

"Or two, you would study all the time till you only do well on that one test and forget about the rest, before you say anything, midterms... Your lucky it was only midterms."

"That only happened once," In your defense you learned never to try that again.

Rolling his eyes he finally says "Or three, if I encourage you right now, you might not take studying seriously and think you can just wing the test, and therefore end up failing."

"Oh yeah.. I do that one a lot don't I," you say embarrassed.

"You have been improvising a lot more than you usually have, now that I think about it, is something wrong?" Akaashi asks concerned.

"Oh.. you've noticed that?" you ask as you stopped walking, looking down ashamed. " I admit that I have not been studying as much as before... I just feel like I'm burning out... or maybe I am burnt out..." 

Akaashi going right in front of you, he just pats your head, it may seem small, but it is your favorite form of affection from him. 

"You know it is normal to be burnt out, the important and most hardest part is overcoming it. I'm always free when you need me. If you want I'll skip practice today, we can just go straight to my house," Akaashi offers.

"That's very sweet of you Keji, but the volleyball team really needs you. You're the only one who can handle Bokuto, and I can't imagine how sad Bokuto would be when he finds out you're not there today." You reassure him.

"You know I care about you, more than I care about volleyball and Bokuto, just say the word and we can go to my house," Akaashi says, persisting.

"Keji, pretty soon is the Spring Nationals, you need to prepare, I'll meet you after your practice," you say as you start to part ways.

Unexpectedly Akaashi follows you grabbing you hand softly.

"Where are you going," he asks. Normally you would wait for him in the gym's girls locker rooms, till his practice is over, since there was air condition inside.

"I thought that today.. I would go stay in class and wait for you, maybe study a bit before.. so that you don't need to catch me up on anything, then we can study faster tonight," you said.

"What are you hiding?" he ask.

"I'm not hiding anything," you said defending yourself.

"You're avoiding eye contact with me, you keep scratching your neck, and your more defensives than normal, I can tell when you are trying to hide something Y/N," he said. After a few more moments of silence you finally confessed.

"Alright fine... one of my friends invited me to join track practice today, I know you don't want to join any sports, but it was just a practice, I'm not going to join," you said admittingly.

"Was that all you were trying to hide?" Akaashi asks, acting surprised. "I'm sorry if you felt like that was something you had to hide from me," his words so soothing, hiding the venom within.

"It was just because whenever I tell you about a club I was going to join you would always turn the idea down, or convince me not to do the club," 

"That is not true-"

"Soft tennis, kyudo, archery, ice skating, and now track and field," you cut him off, apparently Akaashi was not the only one that was keeping tabs on their partner.

"I just don't want you getting hurt, and plus who knows...  what if you get too involved in the sport and fall behind in school, also when you compete would you be willing to do it, all eyes would be on you, I know you get anxious in a crowd, and when you compete your coach, teammates, friends would all be counting on you," Akaashi explains.

"Yeah your right," you say, realizing that you shouldn't have thought about ever joining a sport, there would be no way you would be able to handle the stress and pressure. 

"I just thought I would be cool to have a sport since your in volleyball, I didn't want you to think I was lazy or something," you say timid.

"I would never think that about you, I know how much you study, how much you help your family around the house, I would never think of you as lazy," He says commending. "But just out of curiosity what type of event would you have picked if you were to do track and field?" he ask.

"It would be pole vault," you say. Hearing those words Akaashi was so glad to have convinced you not to. 

Pole vaulter's have upper body strength, and in the emergency of him kidnapping you, with you having some upper body strength it would just be irritating. He would win though. 

"Pole vault?" he asks, hesitantly.

"Is there a problem?" you ask curiously.

"It is just that pole vaulting is one of the most hardest events, and you're just going to jump into trying it," is all he says. 

But that was more than enough. What were you thinking, trying to pole vault, your in your 3rd year. Image trying to practice, how underclassmen will just see how bad you are. They must be way better, the season started 1 month ago. Also there was other events practicing too, image all those eyes on you.

"Yeah your right, it was just a dumb idea, I'm gonna text my friend that I'm busy," you said as you pulled up your phone, and started texting.

As you start to walk towards the gym with Akaashi following behind you.

ohhhh since you've been Bugsy posting, do you have any thoughts about him for your verse?

Outside of a pronouns change ( I believe I said they use they/them pronouns in my au but might change that to they/he?),not much atm! Though reblogging those bugsy posts got me thinking.

1) I genuinely did not know he stated he wanted to become a pokemon professor like Oak, which I think is amazing actually. I can already envision him and Beryl ( oc of mine) getting along great as researchers - especially with Beryl completing the pokedex. I think it would be cute if they formed a friendship.

2) Oh, technically this is something I've always thought: I've always seen him as the youngest of the Johto league: could never find an age that I exactly see him as. Either they're only barely older than Kenji and Aiko ( who's 10 during the HGSS stuff) or just in their early to mid-ish teens. But overall, I do see Bugsy as the youngest.

3) ^ following that point, I think he gets along well with everyone in the league - including Clair! Clair is a bit haughty, but I don't think she has it in her to really be her usual self around Bugsy's ever glowing enthusiasm and politeness. I think he's closest with Whitney and Falkner, by proxy that they are close by. Whitney more so bc Bugsy frequently goes to the bug catching contests.

4) in general, I want Bugsy and the other gym leaders in Johto to feel a bit more involved in the plot, especially given it's their region that's in danger (...."danger". Team Rocket isn't that threatening to me in the Johto stuff. Like....it's there, but the only person who's really reacting to them and doing anything about it is the player and Lance. Silver does shit lmao). It always struck me as odd that Bugsy didn't mention what TR was doing, so again he either wasn't there or he just doesn't care and I doubt it's that. When it comes to involving gym leaders, I get worried about "scaling", as in everything is handled by them and the protag doesn't get to protag ( and get traumatized lol we always gotta do that). But with Bugsy I'm realizing something. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the reason they have a metapod and kakuna during their gym battle is bc he was studying them right? Arguably his strongest pokemon would be his Scyther and even then, it's probably not enough to take on a bunch of grunts at once. So basically I'm saying he could get jumped lmao. Not to say he isn't a strong trainer - he is! I would Argue Bugsy is like. One of the Best bug type specialists around. I'm simply saying he was caught in a moment of being very unprepared. Or! It could have been as simple as him going " I can't risk leaving my post as a gym leader with team rocket around, could you go and handle this for me?".

So whether Bugsy was out doing research, got jumped, or simply asked the player to handle TR as he stays behind to look after his town,I do kinda see a semblance of self doubt in him? Especially with the first two options, I can see him feeling guilty for not being there/being strong enough or prepared enough to handle Team Rocket. God and I'm just realizing Bugsy is basically a prodigy - a gifted kid if you will. This pressure to perform at his best is probably weighing on him, only really overshadowed by the fact that they genuinely love bug types and researching them and just his general positive attitude. But ya know. He's a prodigy and probably has high expectations for himself, even if subconsciously.

Outside of what he could have been doing during the azalea town stuff in the Legendverse, I am not sure if he has further plot relevance. I can see him being called to Goldenrod bc he is one of the closest gym leaders in the area outside of Whitney - if there's still proper communications up, which I think there is. If I go with the " Bugsy got Jumped" route, then it would be a perfect time to show those rockets how powerful he really is~

But yeah! That's all I have for Bugsy, or at least what I can remember. Thanks for the ask, this was very fun!!
