It's hot, bugs are flying everywhere, he's sweating all the time, everyone's sweating all the time, does he need to go on? He doesn't, but he will— it's so humid there's a lot more hair sticking up on top of his head this morning, and he needed ten minutes in front of the mirror with two hairbrushes and other things to finally tame it down—
"Summer's great! You can go bug-catching! And swimming! The feeling of sun on your skin is great, but it's also great to come home and chill and the watermelon is good! Oh, and you can play beach volleyball—"
Konoha hates beach volleyball: it's sandy, hot, and did he mention it's sandy? Watermelon's nice but it's hard to eat with the seeds inside, no he does not like the feeling of sun burning his skin, you can swim in nice warm indoor pool in other seasons too, and why the hell would he even do bug-catching?? Actually why would anyone do bug-catching???
Well, he guesses that's true. As much as he hates summer, he can't deny that he likes summer camp, playing volleyball he likes so much all day, staying over with his friends and talking about everything and nothing until they fall asleep.
"And oh! Oh! Ice cream dates! We haven't gone to one yet, that will change your mind for sure! Beach dates, festival dates! Fireworks! Last year I helped the firework man, and oh I held up the mikoshi! It was super fun, you should join too this year!"
He won't join, no, that's not the kind of festival date he was thinking of— if it can even be called a date at all. It's very Bokuto, though, he thinks, a smile cracking his frown.
Maybe beach volleyball with Bokuto won't be too bad. Fireworks does sound very nice, and who doesn't like ice cream? Maybe the sand won't bother him so much. If he puts enough sunscreen maybe, hopefully, the sun won't burn his skin. Maybe going out and sweating isn't as bad as he makes it to be if he's doing something he likes, with someone he likes.
Maybe it's nice to have someone making the best out of what you expect to be the worst.
