Scared
No one had ever seen Kuroko Tetsuya take off his deadpanned mask. One may catch a glimpse of little reaction here and there but no one has ever seen him show emotion.
Akashi Seijuurou is no exception. Though he is better than the others at reading Tetsuya, he had not seen the younger teen show anything other than his usual poker face.
So imagine his surprise when he heard Tetsuya scream in the locker room one day. Their basketball practice is already over, and the others had already headed home. The only ones left in the locker room were Tetsuya and Akashi.
In an instant, the red head rushed into Tetsuya's side. "What's the matter, Tetsuya?" he grab the other boy. It must be something big to make someone as passive as Tetsuya react this way.
Tetsuya imidietely hid at Akashi's back. "Akashi-kun, look over there." He frantically stated and pointed at the ground.
Akashi directed his gaze to where Tetsuya pointed and almost laughed at what he saw. "Tetsuya, it's just a cockroach." He fought off his laughter as to not offend the other boy.
Tetsuya scowled, sensing his captain's amusement of the situation. "Just a cockroach? It's not just a cockroach Akashi-kun, it is a cockroach!" This time, Akashi could no longer held himself back and let out a laugh.
"Sorry, sorry, it's just that your reaction is very interesting." He apologized, seeing that the other begun to glare at him darkly. "But you aren't afraid of cicadas, and cicadas and cockroaches almost look alike." He continued.
"Cicadas and cockroaches are different." Tetsuya pointed out, "cicadas are cicadas and cockraohes are cockroaches. And cockroaches are… well… they are simply disgusting!"
"So, you are afraid of cockroaches." Akashi stated, finally reaching into a conclusion.
Tetsuya's eyes narrowed. "Who said something about ever being afraid?"
"Then should I say scared?" Tetsuya's scowl deepened. Akashi took that as a sign to stop. As much as he love to tease Tetsuya, he knew when to stop when enough is enough.
"I'll stop, I'll stop," he threw his hands up in mock surrender. "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I promise that what happened in this room will only be between the two of us."
Of course it will only be between the two of them, he'll be damned if anyone other than him saw this cute side of Tetsuya.
As they walked out of the locker room, Akashi can't help but contemplate if he should put a cockroach inside the locker room just to see another of this cute reaction from Tetsuya.
