And it's hard, trying to make people happy and being yourself at the same time. Especially when being yourself can be off-putting for one reason or another.
You are a bit of an ass, and I'm a bit too perceptive for most. But you find a compromise when you can. You meet people who can handle you 100%, sometimes it takes a while for them to warm up to you, and sometimes they get you right away.
And Bokuto is a bit much himself; he knows this. And he's already met you and likes you. Relationships are work, and as long as you try, it will usually work out.
And sometimes they don't, true, but that fear shouldn't stop you from trying.
Because they're thoughts I've had about myself. Our situations are similar enough that they apply to both of us.
And I'm very smart when it comes to people. Also, Bo-chan is easy to read. He wears his heart on his sleeve proudly.
The main thing, is that you have to be honest with him. You'll have be patient with him, and he'll have to be patient with you. You'll fight, you'll argue, and you'll hopefully make up. There will be tears, screaming, insults, apologies, stupid gifts, make up sex, and all that stuff.
It wouldn't be screaming. Bokuto doesn't do that. He's loud when he's happy, not upset.
I don't know if you've seen it during a game - He gets _depressed_. Sad. At the smallest, strangest things. Everything's fine until it isn't. Akaashi was good at covering for it. So is his team now.
It takes an ENTIRE TEAM to take care of him.
And I'm one person.
[So. Fine. Maybe Tsukki's been considering this issue...]
Oh, there will be. Everyone has a point where they start screeching sooner or later. I'm not much of a yeller myself, but there have been times that Iwa-chan and I have screamed at each other.
[He pauses, considering his answer, picking up that Tsukishima HAS thought about this.
He's owed two thousand yen.]
It's not a bad thing to admit your limits. And you'll still have his team to help; even you'll take point on it. And he's gotten better at not falling apart as much.
It's possible that a relationship between the two of you won't ultimately work out. It's just as possible that it will work out wonderfully.
I find it's always better to try than to not. Regretting not trying something is worse than the regret of something failing.
[Two thousand yen? Who the hell is taking bets on Tsukki's personal life?!]
You may be right.
[He tries to add in some more details, but nothing fits. It all sounds like excuses. Whining. Finally Tsukki wipes it all. He's having an emotional crisis. Oikawa can deal with single-sentence texts.

[Tsukki reads it over a couple more times.
Digesting.]
I feel like he both gets me and doesn't get me at all. How is that even going to work.
