Happy Bokuaka day!
As for Iwaoi, I decided to celebrate with a fanart of "The Last King" fic (yes, you'll find them too).
Who doesn't love the combo love+DRAMAH???

Happy Birthday Shirabu Kenjiro!
The story behind this is that I was expecting an influx of Shirabu fanart, but the Haikyuu fandom reminded me that they celebrate smth else on 4/5.
( they don't know that I used to draw Akaashi a lot back in my day)
(also also I am rusty; haven't drawn in a month and it shows)

For Bokuto and Akaashi's first Valentine’s Day together, it’s surprisingly Akaashi who goes all-out with the stereotypical gifts and traditions.
He buys Bokuto a large bouquet of red roses, makes a homemade greeting card complete with an original love poem that he wrote, and even attempts to bake a batch of homemade chocolates (those are the least successful, but Bokuto will probably eat them anyway).
They meet up at the train station near Bokuto’s university. The older boy’s face splits into a delighted grin when he sees the flowers.
“Wow! Thanks!” Their fingers brush as he accepts the bouquet. “I didn’t think you’d like any of this super romantic sort of stuff!”
Akaashi blushes hotly. “Well, I don’t,” he admits. “But I know that you do, so…”
Bokuto brings him in for a close hug and a peck on the cheek. “And I barely did anything because I know that you don’t!” He laughs. “What a pair we are. Eh, Akaashi?”
Akaashi chuckles. “Yes, I suppose we are.”
They walk slowly back to Bokuto’s dorm, where Akaashi quickly presents his boyfriend with his other gifts.
“You’re really showing me up here!” Bokuto says, mouth already full of candy. His eyes shimmer with something like wonder as he reads his personalized valentine card for the umpteenth time.
Akaashi rolls his eyes. “It’s not a competition, Bokuto-san.”
“I know that!” Bokuto leans across the couch to retrieve something from his gym bag. “But I mean… compared to all of this, my present really isn’t much…”
Akaashi spots the gift and his heart immediately starts racing.
It’s a box. A small, black, velvet box with silver hinges. It’s the type of box that can only hold one very specific thing.
Akaashi feels his jaw drop. He and Bokuto have only been together for six months! They’re still so young! It couldn’t be—
It’s a ring. A simple, silver ring with a wavy golden design carved through the middle. Akaashi notices the color is a very similar shade to his boyfriend’s eyes. “Bo-Bokuto-san, I…”
“It’s just a promise ring!” Bokuto exclaims, waving his arms around frantically. “I’m not—I’m not asking you to marry me or anything! I mean, not yet… I know that’ll come eventually, but…”
Akaashi chokes on nothing as Bokuto just keeps rambling.
“… it’s just a symbol! Yeah, like, a symbol of our… umm, love?” He raises his right hand swiftly to show off a matching ring. This one has a blue-green design—Akaashi’s eyes.
“Bokuto-san, y-you definitely got me the most romantic gift.” Akaashi is embarrassed at how fast he’s tearing up. “And you said it was ‘barely anything?’ R-ridiculous!” He hurriedly takes out the ring and slips it on.
Bokuto chuckles and grabs his hand. Their fingers intertwine, the two silver bands touching briefly. Akaashi takes a deep breath, momentarily overwhelmed, and Bokuto patiently waits for him to recover.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Keiji,” Bokuto says, and Akaashi feels like he’s floating.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Koutarou.”
