Barren land stretches out ahead of him. A chill wind howls in the distance, circling dust against Akaashi’s ankles, loud enough to drown out almost all his thoughts. Only one rings loud enough to rise about the noise. Get him back, get him back, bring him back.
He raises his chin, gaze steeled; a pair of golden eyes peer back at him in return. Akaashi swallows the lump in his throat, and tries to sound resolute as he addresses the hooded figure.
“Twenty years of my life.”
Akaashi wishes he could see the person’s expression. That was the first thing he was taught about negotiations; you read the other person’s mood and tie your actions to it, baiting and teasing them until they give you the reaction you want. His interactions with Bokuto had been a constant state of push-pull, tease-tug, subtle hints that could almost be manipulations if you squinted, a lot of Akaashi no and Akaashi why and Akaashi you’re everything to me.
In return, he’d never quite known how to articulate how much Bokuto had meant to him, how to truly encapsulate the gravity of Bokuto’s cheerful, bouncy presence in words. He couldn’t describe quite how Bokuto lingered beside him during practice and after class, sprawled out on his bedroom floor on hot summer afternoons and demanded affection, or how he tasted when they locked lips and Akaashi could feel him smiling into the kiss. How Bokuto had been neon and starbursts, was passion where Akaashi had been taught not to show it all his life; he was down pillows, clear skies and storms, a warm hug.
Some thought that Bokuto couldn’t function without Akaashi. They joked that Akaashi was his handler, his trainer. Two days after his boyfriend’s death, Akaashi can confirm that it is the other way round. He takes a deep breath as the eyes behind the hood narrow. That’s never a good sign.
Akaashi’s hands curl into fists, fingernails digging into his flesh. “Thirty years.”
The figure with the hood smiles, baring their teeth. “This Bokuto Koutarou must mean a lot to you.”
Akaashi nods back in response. The figure chuckles again, reaching into their pocket and pulling two hourglasses out gingerly. The sand in the yellow one has completely drained, fallen to the bottom in a useless heap. The top half of the dark blue one is almost full.
Death snaps their fingers, and Akaashi is enveloped in warm light.
“I’ll return him to you,” they murmur, and Akaashi cannot tell if their smile is sinister or genuine. The light surrounding Akaashi glows yellow for a moment, enveloping him with something that he can’t quite place. It’s like being surrounded with a familiar laugh, or a pat on the back—a firm grip that feels just right, and then it lets go. Akaashi finds himself stumbling backwards, head spinning and body light. Somehow, he manages to speak.
“What… What did you do?” he asks, voice barely a whisper. Death glides towards him, and places a cold, bony hand on his shoulder.
“I’ve tied his life energy with yours. You both have about thirty years.” They lean in, covering Akaashi’s eyes with both their hands. “You’ll find yourself back two days ago. Nobody will remember Bokuto’s passing.”
Akaashi’s vision begins to blur. Death’s voice is the last thing he hears before he passes out.
“Except you.”
