You watched as he leapt, the muscles in his legs rippling, to hit the volleyball served his way. The enthusiastic smile on his face as he did so and the twinkle in his eye was enough to send you higher than the moon, simpering internally over how amazing your boyfriend was. Only Bokuto had ever been able to set your heart on fire this way, something you couldn't figure out no matter how hard you thought about it.

When he landed and looked over to you, eager for your approval, you had to turn your face away to hide the blush that covered it. With your heart the way it was right now, it was just too much to look him in the eye. Unfortunately, when you did so, you somehow managed to trip on one of your shoelaces, making you stumble into Bokuto, at your side in a second. "Thank you..." you murmured, burying your face into his shoulder as he hugged you, refusing to let you go when you pushed half-heartedly at his arms. You didn't have to look at him to know he had that goofy, loving smile on his face that was all his own.

"No problem! You can fall into my arms as much as you want!"

"T-That's not what I meant!" you tried to protest, but you were melting against him too quickly. Grace had never been your forte, and Bokuto's next words just about brought you to your knees.

"So how's my darling doing today?" Even before your romantic relationship with him had begun, Bokuto had called you "my darling," effectively turning you into a pile of goo on the floor. Now matter how much you had resisted his charms and affections, your puppy love for him had only grown until it burst into full-fledged love. It was hard not to love him when you found yourself adoring every little thing he did.

Taking hold of your hand, he led you over to the benches, only letting go to rustle through his duffel bag and pull out a towel and street shoes. You watched as he dried off the sweat rolling down his neck, swallowing and trying to draw your eyes away from the way his back muscles, visible through the white shirt, flexed and shifted. "S-So, have you studied for the math test tomorrow?" A lame conversation starter but it was all you could come up.

"Nope!"

You blinked. "What? But it's a big part of our grade!"

He looked up at you with the same confidence in his eyes he applied to everything he did. "I think I've got it. I'll be fine!"

"You're too relaxed about it..." you trailed off, brow furrowing.

He straightened and wrapped you in another hug, giving your nose a poke. "Don't worry about it, (y/n). You're smart so you'll do great!"

You opened your mouth to tell him that wasn't your point, but thought better of it, shaking your head affectionately instead and saying, "Thanks. I'm sure you'll do fine, too...probably." Bokuto was remarkably relaxed and you were a little...okay, overly uptight, but that difference had only created a much-needed balance between the two of you instead of leading to problems.

Holding his hand, you and he bid goodbye to the other members of the team getting ready to leave before you ducked out the door Bokuto held open for you. A wave of cold air washed over you and you snuggled deeper into your coat, grateful for the warmth your boyfriend's hand provided your own. As you glanced at him, you noticed something at the edge of your vision that made you look down to his feet, clad in sandals instead of cold-weather boots you yourself were wearing. "You're wearing sandals in the snow?"

"Yep!"

"You aren't cold like that?"

"Not at all! Why? Are you cold?" he asked, bringing you into the warmth of his jacket as he held it open for you.

"No, I was just worried about you," you responded but didn't pull away, enjoying the closeness. You really shouldn't be surprised he was wearing sandals in this weather. The two of you were opposites in many ways, including this. He wore sandals in the snow while you still felt cold in July.

There were times when you wondered if you and he were different in too many ways but whenever you did, his smiling face greeting you every morning with "Hi, (y/n)! How are you today, my darling?" was more than enough to drive all your doubts away, warming your heart. Still, you often had a hard time telling him just how much you loved him, how special he made you feel.

Squeezing his hand, you swallowed before beginning, "Hey, Bokuto..."

"Mmm?" He looked down at you.

"You know you...I mean I...Sometimes I..." You bit your lip to keep your mutterings from continuing, cursing how tongue-tied you got when you tried to tell him how you feel. Heaven help you, it was like you had your foot in your mouth, why was this so difficult?

You felt Bokuto chuckle against you, his large hand tousling your hair. "Take your time, darling."

A deep breath filled your lungs and you turned to look up at him, the sparkle in his loving, golden eyes making your knees weak. There was only one thing you could think to say to him, one thing that would convey a tenth of what you felt for him, so you said it. "I adore you."

The blush that broke across his cheeks and the raw happiness that shone in his expression just about made your heart explode in your chest and you couldn't help but smile back as he wrapped his arms around you and lifted you off your feet, smashing his lips to yours in a sloppy, happy, perfect kiss. The way he smiled through the kiss, the way he held you, the way he wasn't afraid to shout how much he loved you when he finally let you go, you adored it all, every little, insignificant thing.
