apathy kun

reference to the very sad and tragic fan fiction of Bokuto Koutarou and Akaashi Keiji, In Another Life, by LittleLuxray on AO3. Bokuto does not know Akaashi's name at the start, so he calls him "Apathy Kun" instead.

in other words, if you mention this to someone who's read the fic, please do expect to be hit with a shovel.
A: hey, who is Apathy Kun?

B, trying not to cry: Oh, it's Bokuto

I was reading an epic flame war between Atheists and Theists about the nature of God, and I realised that I simply don't care if it's true or not. I think I've become Apathostic.
