The day before Y/N found the note in her locker:
"So, Akaashi," Bokuto began, stretching out on the grass. "What are you going to with Y/N, since you like her?"
Akaashi, who was leaning against a nearby tree, sighed. "Well, I don't know. It's true that I like her, but I don't know what to do, Bokuto-san."
Bokuto tilted his head, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "I've got an idea. How about you pretend to be her secret admirer."
Akaashi raised an eyebrow, intrigued but cautious. "Pretend to be her secret admirer? How would that work?"
"Simple!" Bokuto said, his enthusiasm undiminished. "You could write a few notes and leave them in her locker. Just how you've received them before!"
Akaashi considered the suggestion, a thoughtful expression on his face. "It sounds like a playful idea, but won't it be a bit misleading?"
Bokuto shook his head, his grin widening. "Not at all. Trust me, it's a good idea coming from your senpai."
"After a moment of contemplation, Akaashi nodded. "Alright, I'll give it a try."
Bokuto clapped his hands together, clearly pleased. "Great! I'll help you with the notes. Let's make sure Y/N gets to experience a bit more of the secret admirer magic."

Present Day:
A few days later, the school day had ended, and the courtyard was bathed in the warm glow of the afternoon sun. Y/N and Akaashi had decided to walk home together, hand in hand. Their fingers entwined naturally, and they shared comfortable, easy conversation as they made their way to the school gates.
As they walked, Bokuto, who had been finishing up some practice, spotted them from a distance. His eyes widened in delight as he saw Akaashi and Y/N holding hands, clearly enjoying each other's company.
Bokuto ran up to them, a huge grin on his face. "Hey, you two! Look at you, holding hands and everything. I just wanted to say congratulations!"
Akaashi and Y/N exchanged smiles, and Y/N's cheeks flushed slightly. "Thanks, Bokuto. We're really happy."
Bokuto's grin grew even wider. "I knew that you guys like each other and have been following your love story from the start, you know. It's been awesome seeing how things unfolded. And Akaashi, great job on those notes. They were a hit!"
Akaashi chuckled, slightly embarrassed. "Thanks, Bokuto-san. It was your idea, after all."
"Yeah, yeah," Bokuto waved off the credit with a laugh. "I just thought it would be a nice touch. But seeing you two together like this is the best reward."
The trio continued to chat as they made their way out of the school grounds. The sun began to set, casting a golden hue over everything, and the warmth of the day seemed to reflect the warmth between Akaashi and Y/N.
As they parted ways, Akaashi and Y/N walked on, hand in hand, their hearts full of the joy and contentment that came with being together. The notes had been a playful part of their journey, but now they were ready to focus on the present and their future together.
