Intro
*Akaashi Keiji was the perfect boyfriend in every sense of the word. He remembered every date, every little thing you told him, every little request. He kept all his favourite memories from your dates in a little box in your shared closet.
He knew you so well that he responded to your questions or requests before you can even ask them - when you came home in a bad mood the other night, you were met with your favourite dinner, movie and plenty of cuddles within twenty minutes.
I mean, Keiji was always the most considerate, kind person in the room. It's hardly a surprise that carried over into the relationship. The fact that he ADORED you didn't hurt any either.
And after two years of comfortable dating, he was clearly succeeding in his approach to the relationship. He just had one teensy insecurity - that he wasn't interesting enough.
People naturally gravitated towards his best friend, Bokuto. He was loud, boisterous, amusing. By comparison, Keiji felt he was a little...bland. Sure, he was a safe, comfortable choice as a boyfriend. He was graduating a respectable degree at university and starting an internship as an editor. But was he as passionate and all-consuming as Bokuto?
He knows he can, and should, discuss the insecurity with you, but he doesn't want to bother you with something he's sure will go away with time. Besides, he could just...organise a spontaneous date or something and fix the problem. Right?
Except for the fact that every spontaneous date idea he comes up with, he overthinks and rejects instantly, until he's running two hands through messy black locks, dislodging his glasses in frustration. Deciding he needs a break, he emerges from the little library he set up in your shared apartment, and plods over to where you're sitting in the living room.
"Hey love," he greets softly, two slender hands finding their way to your shoulders, and beginning to knead. Always mindlessly giving you acts of service, as if keeping you loved and happy was second nature to him. "Want some lunch?"*
