Author's note: Hey guys! So I know I've been gone for a long time, so here's a little something. College!AU, akakuro.
Mistakes are all mine, constructive criticisms are always appreciated.
"You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn't have to go to such extremes." (prompt from: ambiguouslyboisterous)
Ps. I'm not in college yet so I'm sorry for whatever I described wrongly, feel free to correct me and tell me about my mistakes, okay?
I walked down the hallway to get to my second class that day, swaying slightly with every step I took. My head was pounding as I struggled to get to class on time. I knew I should've stayed home that day but how could I when missing one class could mean missing everything there is to learn about the subject?
Exaggerated, I know. But it could happen and I was not about to take that risk. I looked horrible with bloodshot eyes, a runny nose and dark eye circles. Being a college student is hard, being a sick college student is harder, I thought as I went up the stairs two steps at a time. I was almost there when everything suddenly turned blurry and I couldn't think straight.
I bumped into a few people but I didn't apologize, too lost in the fact that I couldn't see or think straight. I blinked a few times even resorting to rubbing my eyes hard, trying to clear my vision but it was hopeless.
I stumbled. I heard a gasp and caught sight of the person in front of me sporting a surprised face, he had fiery red hair. Or so I thought I saw, at that moment I couldn't really tell because of my eyesight. And then everything went black.
I woke up in an unfamiliar place, I sat up immediately and I've never regretted just sitting up until today. My head hurt so bad and I groaned as I held my head in my hands, massaging my temples, trying to soothe the pain.
"Here, take these." Someone handed me some pills and a cup of water. I mumbled a soft 'thank you' before taking the pills, not even asking what they were. I was clearly not awake enough now that I think about it.
"What happened...?"
"You fainted... straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn't have to go to such extremes." someone replied, clearly amused with the situation.
It was then I realised that I didn't recognize that voice and soon I was staring into someone else's eyes. Captivating red eyes stared back at me and I felt as if I lost my ability to speak. Everything started clicking together and I finally realised that he was the same person I saw before passing out. It surprised me how I actually saw him clearly enough to recognize him considering the fact that my vision was so blur back then. But then again, his red hair was very hard not to notice.
He gave me a small smirk and I couldn't help but blush after I processed everything. I fainted into the arms of a stranger. A very handsome one at that.
"My name is Akashi Seijuurou, what's yours?"
"Kuroko Tetsuya."
