Entry #1:
Rejection
Akashi loves him. Akashi Seijuurou loves him. He can't believe he did not notice what many fanfiction writers have pointed out: How he was the only one with a special treatment in their team back in Teiko; how jealous Akashi was when Kagami and Furihata followed when he called them after the WinterCup opening ceremony; how Akashi had to 'create' a phantom player for his new team as a replacement for him.
But the authors failed to take account something: he is straight, and he is not interested in Akashi Seijuurou that way.
As if on cue, his phone rang, and on the screen flashed Akashi Seijuurou's name.
He swallowed thickly. How should he act around Akashi now that he knows the truth? 'Like normal,' his mind helpfully supplied. That would be for the best.
"Hello, Akashi-kun," he greeted.
"Hello, Tetsuya. Are you free today? I'm in Tokyo right now for the summer break. Ryouta gave me tickets for a movie titled 'Lovers in Edo', and– "
This was it. Akashi was asking him out for a date, and after dinner, he would confess his undying love for him. He shuddered.
But how could he reject The Great Akashi without him being haunted by the sound of snipping scissors for the rest of his life?
"... would you like to watch it with – "
"I'm not interested," he blurted out suddenly, surprising himself and the person on the other line.
"... pardon?"
"I said I'm not interested." Then he quickly hung up the phone.
Oh, now he's done it! Now he has to find a way to avoid Akashi for the rest of his now-become-shorter life. But first, he has to write his will...
Meanwhile, at the other end of the line, Akashi continued to stare blankly at his phone.
"He's not interested," he said at last.
"Who would be?" Midorima said. "It's a chick flick. Just because Kise had a role as an extra doesn't mean we should watch it."
"Then why are you here, Mido-chin?" Murasakibara asked while munching on extra-large potato chips.
"And why are you here, Murasakibara?" Midorima asked back.
"For the free popcorn," the purple giant lazily answered.
"Oh..."
"And you?" Murasakibara asked.
"Because Akashi asked me to," Midorima answered.
"Oh..."
"A-Akashi, why are you being silent?" Midorima asked.
"...Tetsuya just hung up on me," he answered.
"He did? That doesn't sound like something Kuroko would do," Midorima said.
"Maybe he still hasn't forgiven you about what you did to Shige-something's team," Murasakibara helpfully added.
"Stop it, Murasakibaara! That topic's taboo! A-anyway, maybe Kise just did something stupid to annoy Kuroko," Midorima said, now shifting his glasses nervously.
"It's the first time someone hung up on me," Akashi said, ignoring them.
"Kuro-chin's got guts. Only he would think of it," Murasakibara said, remembering his one-on-one with the phantom player during Winter Cup.
"... yeah. Let's just try calling Aomine for the meantime," Midorima suggested.
"I thought you don't like Aomine, Mido-chin?" Murasakibara asked.
"Momoi said that he doesn't skip practice now, so it's all good," Midorima answered.
Akashi just shook his head. "... Tetsuya is really beyond my expectations."
