if bokuto teaching volleyball to little kids can become canon then bokuto and akaashi getting married, living the best domestic life and still loving each other at the tender age of 130 years old can become canon too

LIKE I CAN | BOKUTO K. X AKAASHI K.
notes: timeskip!bokuaka, fluff(?), nostalgia type beat, inspired by sam smith's like i can
lia's braindump: god i could not get this out of my head for the life of me. i felt the strong need to share this bc this prompt absolutely pains me. my heart is in pieces
akaashi plops himself down on his bed, getting ready to bury himself under the sheets and pass out until it was time to get up again. tomorrow was his first day off in weeks, only having finished editing the manga that was supposed to be put out by the end of the month hours earlier. he sighs, sinking into his covers and he unlocks his phone to scroll through his tiktok 'for you' page before finally resigning to bed.
it wasn't a great idea to be surfing through countless videos, especially when it seems as if time slows down when people use the certain application; nevertheless, akaashi mindlessly swipes up and up, double tapping at cute videos of dogs, or some occasional home café video.
he feels his eyelids droop, but one video on his feed catches his eye: it was a video of two best friends accompanied by a sam smith song, freezing at a heartwarming moment simultaneously as the lyrics flashed on the screen.
akaashi smiles as he remembers a friendship that left him with the same impression as the short tiktok did. he decides to put off some sleep and edit one of his own because heck, why not.
he scrolls far into his gallery and finds a good video of him in high school and starts working on tiktok. finally, after some struggling, he finishes, and hits post. he captions it:
@akaashik: miss you ✌ @bokukou_0920 🦉
he wakes up the next morning to find the video viral across the internet, volleyball community or not.
akaashi beams like the morning sun when he sees the top comment on his tiktok:
@msby_bokuto: I MISS YOU TOO AKAASHI!!! 😎😤🖤
he lets a wave of nostalgia hit in the early morning of him and the volleyball player's history. they've been with each other for as long as they could remember, and they've watched each other grow into who they are today.
bokuto has plenty of fans all over the world who love him and his volleyball skills; but akaashi's heart and mind stays true to the lyrics flashing on the screen of his viral tiktok: there may be lovers who hold out their hands, but they'll never love you like i can.
lia's (extra) braindump: the tiktok trend is originally a platonic one, but i tried my best to make it as vague as possible >< akaashi just fits this lyric prompt ok it makes me cry whenever i think about it

not to drop a litle negativity here but I saw a haikyu ship poll to which personally, I don't mind if you like other main ships over bokuaka
if you like iwaoi more than bokuaka? that's valid! because it's your preference
kagehina over bokuaka? also valid! because again that's your opinion and I can respect it and so on for the other main ships
although in the very least, don't downplay/twist the canon material to prove that your ship is superior TvT. Furudate-sensei didn't canonically state that bokuaka were written to be foils to each other, both of them being each other's greatest inspiration in the OFFICIAL character sheet and have a well written dynamic for you to oversimplify what their dynamic amounted to at the end of the series.
for context, the haikyu ship poll that sort of spread caused tension cause they added extra captions like asanoya being a flop ship, iwaoi inventing love over bokuaka and the likes to which they also tweeted this:
Tumblr media
personally I can respect op for liking iwaoi over bokuaka because that's their opinion + I love iwaoi chaotic childhood friends my beloved :'<< but for their argument to not give a proper reason/ water down bokuaka's dynamic is really saddening
so instead of cooking op since the quotes on the tweet are doing it (and I personally don't like starting/insulting anyone cause it just adds fuel to the flame than any actual progress) I'll just drop an actual list of evidence as to why this is wrong:
"They had like 5 moments"
bokuaka had more moments than solely 5 moments as op states and to make it fair I'll be removing bokuaka main moments this would include: iddle fleeting thought, we are the protagonists, give me your 120%.
It's important to note that most of bokuaka's main moments are found in Fukurodani's respective match. However if we remove these 3 pivotal moments than it still manages to disprove they had only 5 moments because bokuaka had a severe number of moments prior to this which would include the following:
a. Training camp arc: naturally bokuaka's introduction, bokuto doing a killer spike and immediately choosing to ask akaashi if he saw it, and of course the most well known moment of bokuto receiving an emo mode and alaashi not only knowing how to solve it but also that he knows bokuto's weaknesses, instills it in his mind
b. Post Training camp arc: albeit briefly, bokuto and akaashi were shown to which bokuto swears that he's been praise and akaashi brushes it off. despite being a brief moment, it shows alone that bokuaka hang out together in lunch or they are each other's company
c. Land vs Sky: it's been a while since I watched this so my apologies if my memory is rusty but I remember nekoma'a attempts of shutting bokuto down to which akaashi noticed + motivated bokuto
d. Nationals arc: this one naturally has the most but to simplify and at least show they had moments would be the little interactions they had throughout karasuno's matches, "THAT'S OUR TSUKI" "He's not ours Bokuto-san", akaashi being worried for bokuto and asking him to go back into the hotel due to the flu only for bokuto to bring it up again later on meaning he remembers akaashi's words, and naturally the entirety of the mujinazaka match that showed their backstories, established firther that bokuto cares about akaashi just as much and is attentive of him and the growth of their characters not solely as a pair but as individuals
With this, tell me then, did bokuaka only have just 5 moments? Even if you take away the moments bokuaka are most known for, there's still a SEVERE number of moments the two of them shared.
And dont get me started on timeskip because that's for the next point-
"bokuto never mentioned that man out of highschool?"
To put it simply, a good portion of the timeskip arc was the msby vs adlers match, this includes bokuto's appearance who mainly is in the story AT THE START OF THE MATCH. Meaning, there wasn't a window of opportunity for bokuto to talk about akaashi because Furudate-sensei had him and his main focus already at the match, there wasn't any slice of life tidbit as both teams went straight into the match after the bathroom confrontation. It would be very out of place if bokuto mentioned akaashi in the middle of a pretty intense match/it wouldnt have made sense for bokuto just randomly bring up akaashi while he's spiking during the match.
bokuto has in fact made a reference to akaashi during the match/post highschool. When hinata and atsumu unleash a killer spike against the Adlers, bokuto shouted "the first strike is always the most lethal!" (or something similar, I forgot the exact quote :'DD) to which is a nod and referencr to the EXACT same thing akaashi said during the inarizaki match. Not only this but mind you that bokuto shouted this WITH akaashi in two very DIFFERENT places. It implies that bokuto still remembers akaashi or references him and the things they tell each other all the way from highschool
the ultimate evidence is of course the post match because bokuto quite literally meets akaashi again when he gets interviewed. how does bokuto react? big smile on his face and invites akaashi to a meat date later on (I don't even mean to write this in a romantic context because the fact that bokuto wanted to hang out and spend time with akaashi in and of itself shows that akaashi is still relevant and important in his life)
There's so much more evidence to simply say that op's tweet is wrong but it would make this post severely long. Simply, it's one thing to choose, disrespect even, another person's ship but it's another to simply discard canon in the hopes of proving another ship is better.
Bokuaka are so much more than what they're iconic moments dictate them for, I mentioned it once but I'll say it again: the fact that they're not even childhood friends or in different years yet still grounded in a dynamic of trust and respect that carries to the years is impressive and just shows why they're a very beloved ship in the community in the first place.
