Exactly What I Want

by Axile 'Vion' Raiz

[Well, I wanted to post it earlier, since the first time I finished reading chapter 267 I immediately wrote this. I don't know what's my purpose of writing this and I really do hope Seirin will win. Anyway spoiler for chap 267 in a way] Rakuzan. They won but... Kuroko was content. He may not be able to achieve his promise to Seirin but he achieved his promise to himself.

Rakuzan had won against Seirin and though as devastated Seirin High was they now that their team's shadow felt a a huge feeling of blest deep in his heart over the return of Akashi Seijuurou that the Generation of Miracles once had known. After the line-up Akashi had walked towards Seirin with his teammates behind him giving them a smile, it wasn't a bragging kind of smile oh no but one that said that they enjoyed the competition and would like to face each other again in the near future.

"Kuroko." Akashi called out to Seirin's shadow.

Kuroko stood before Akashi with his usual impassive expression.

"It was a good game." He held out his hand and Kuroko took it for a shake. "I'm sorry for those years, especially when I and the others..against Meikou.." Akashi wanted to bow because he truly knows that the person that he wronged the most was this boy, the one he had found, the one that had tried to keep their team together before turning to another team because they had abandoned him then coming back to rescue them all one by one. "Prototype…you're not.. I mean…" For once in his life he was not sure about what to say, stuttering it felt odd but,

"Akashi-kun?" Kuroko gave him, them, a smile. "There was never a thing that you had to apologize about."

And that was when tears flowed from a pair of pure red eyes with his expression frozen in stupor.

"I'm glad." Kuroko put on a nostalgic expression one that only the Generation of Mircles can read. "That you're all are fine, that we were no longer the monster we once had been. Though I do have a request." He shot a silent look at all of the Generation of Miracles it the whole building. They understood the message. "We're still friends right?" He tilted his head to the side with the happiest smile they had ever seen.

The Generation of Miracles felt so horrible then. Kuroko is just too good of a person to be friends with people who hurted him so badly, they felt so lucky too for acquiring such a kind person as their friend that will never abandoned them no matter what kind of horrendous thing they had done to him.

"No, we are your teammates. The Generation of Miracles." Akashi look back to Rakuzan starters before looking back at Kuroko. "We have our own new teammates that brings out the best of us now but doesn't mean we can't keep our title as the strongest team." His answer is on behalf of the other four of the Generation of Miracles.

"Right, thank you, Akashi-kun." Kuroko felt a teardrop slid down his cheek. "Exactly what I want."

The Generation of Miracles. Back together, to once who they are. Miracles. The monster in them had died out. Monster, miracles. How different they can be you ask? Well, I suppose the answer will come to you by itself if only you see.
