"I thought I told you."

Aomine gazed in horror as Akashi placed his queen on a space on the chessboard, taking his second-to last piece, a bishop, on the chessboard. All that remained was his king and all of Akashi's pieces minus a pawn or two. But the game was the least of Aomine's worries. Akashi's next words would later haunt him for months to come.

"You lost your chance, Daiki. Tetsuya is mine, and there's nothing you can do to bring him back," Mismatched eyes stare at him, glowing with authority. All Aomine could do was stare back at Akashi in shock. His throat was too dry to speak, not that there was anything to say to his captain. He watched as Akashi opened his mouth, ready to speak once more.

"Daiki," Akashi lowered his gaze to the chessboard. Aomine followed suit and looked at his bishop, lying on its side like a broken doll. Akashi raised his queen once more, not caring for Aomine's pointless turn and places his queen beside Aomine's king, cornering it.

"Checkmate."
