Prologue
"'cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight"
-A thousand miles (Vanessa Carlton)
If he could describe his life, he would pretty much say it was mundane. Born as an only child, he was used to do things on his own. Play on his own, draw on his own, read books on his own, pretty much do everything on his own. He was alone but Kuroko Tetsuya never felt lonely. That was what he believed at first.
He always enjoyed the little things in life. Despite his parents rarely being home since they always have work to do, he was not alone since he always have his grandmother with him. He remembered her making him delicious vanilla cake and bought him vanilla milkshake whenever they are alone. Take him to the park and eat ice cream, give him books to read or she would tell him lots of different stories. Tetsuya loved his grandmother dearly. She was the only thing he had.
Because of her he grew up to be a polite, kind and gentle kid. Though with his small presence, people would rarely notice him. If he won't talk, no one would notice him. At first, he felt frustrated that people didn't notice him but as time flies and he got older, he got used to it. However, because of it he didn't have much friends and grew up as an introverted person but he didn't mind that for he had his grandmother. As long as he has her, everything is alright.
But life seemed cruel. When he was 16, his grandmother died due to a terminal disease. Never in his life had he cried so much. He felt so hurt. So heartbroken. For the first time in his life, he felt so lonely. His parents tried to comfort him but when the mourning was over, they left him on his own again. From then on, he shut himself from everyone else and told his parents he wanted to be home schooled. Since then, he never go out and just stayed in his room. He felt so hollow.
On his 17th birthday, his parents gave him a gift. A laptop from his father and a very expensive smartphone from his mother, both of which were useless to him. He didn't want to accept it but his parents insisted on letting him have it and with no choice, he accepted it.
Kuroko didn't touch the laptop for a month since he got it. He only touched the phone since his parents call and text him every now and then to check up on him. Probably making sure if he was still alive. But one day he decided to open the laptop since he thought it would be a waste of money if he didn't used it.
He read the manual first, figuring out what to do since he had no idea and followed the steps. He customized the desktop and chose a random wallpaper before he clicked an icon. It lead him to a browser and there he started to click randomly. At first, he searched about his favorite authors. He was amazed to read more about them and found out he had not read some of their books.
One thing lead to another as Tetsuya found a lot more interesting things. He learned he could buy stuff online, things that are not sold in his city. He learned a lot of information regarding books. And most of all, he found out that he could also talk to other people online.
Days passed and his unused laptop have now been used regularly. After his lessons and his teacher leaves, he would turn on his laptop and click on a url that he had saved on his bookmarks.
There he would start talking to five people whom he had never ever seen but despite that, he felt close to them. But there's one particular person that he always wanted to talk to and every time they chatted, he felt his chest flutter.
"I think you need to sleep, Tetsuya." He read the line that was sent to him.
"I will Akashi-kun. You need to log off as well, you still have classes." He replied.
"I will log off after you do." He said.
"I will log off then. Good night Akashi-kun." Tetsuya didn't want to end their conversation but as he glanced at the digital clock on his bedside table, he knew he need to sleep.
"Good night Tetsuya. Sweet dreams. I'll talk to you later when you wake up."
"Alright. I'll talk to you later. Good night again."
"Sleep now! Don't let the bed bugs bite."
"Okay, I will. Bye." He smiled as he pressed send and immediately logged out before he closed the window on his desktop. He then shut off his laptop and went into his bed.
The name of the peeson he just talked to is Akashi.
He had never seen him or heard his voice. He completely knew nothing else about him except his name and that he's a thousands of miles away from him. But despite all of that he was the closest person he had ever been with and he made him more happy than any material things his parents gave him.
He looked forward to chatting with him again tomorrow or later, if he taken to account it's already 3 am.
"I hate timezones." He mumbled as drifted off to sleep.
