#1: How He Became His Happiness
"Oh," a surprise gasp coming out of nowhere had him turned his head to where the tiny voice appeared, distracting himself from the book about animals he was reading, "Your hair color is weird."
When seven year old Akashi was about to open his mouth to retort, what he found next was blue. Blue eyes boring a hole on his face and he almost broke his composed expression at how beautiful they looked. Was there even someone like that in his class?
"Speak for yourself." Akashi snapped coldly instead, glancing at the other's matching blue hair. "Yours isn't better at all." Lie. The other boy's sky blue hair was definitely the most beautiful hair color he'd ever seen in his life. The color of his eyes and hair was the most beautiful hue of light blue that reminded him of the clear blue sky in summer. And it wasn't like he was going to admit it. Never.
As if he didn't mind Akashi's way of speaking that told him to go away even a bit, Kuroko Tetsuya touched his red hair instead, earning a scowl making its way on Akashi's face who, in response, quickly back away. He was slightly confused at the redhead's odd behavior, but little Kuroko smiled happily nonetheless. "It's so bright! Tetsuya likes it!"
"I don't care. Go away." Akashi said in a harsh tone, hoping that the boy would get his message and leave him alone, but it seemed like he wasn't going to let him be and instead, took a seat beside him while looking at him in curiosity. Akashi almost gasped at their overly close proximity, but he kept it by himself because he didn't want to be rude. An Akashi had always been taught to be able to keep their composure.
"Why are you alone?" Kuroko asked, leaning his head closer into Akashi, and the latter had to turn his head away because the bluehead was too close.
"I don't want to have anything to do with others." Akashi carefully responded, shifting his position a little in order to distance himself from Kuroko, but the latter kept on following his every moves; Akashi moved away, so did Kuroko.
"Akashi-kun sounds so mature." Kuroko pointed out, and Akashi glared at him.
"Can you stop bugging me and go back to your friends?"
"No. I want to be with Akashi-kun."
"Why?" It wasn't confusion in Akashi's tone, it was more like a surprise tone.
"Sensei told me to befriend you," Kuroko exclaimed, big baby blue eyes staring at him openly, "besides, Akashi-kun looks lonely."
Akashi retorted, "I'm not lonely."
"But Akashi-kun never play with any of us."
"I don't need any friends."
"And that's why Akashi-kun is lonely," Kuroko puffed his cheeks, "Does Akashi-kun not want to play with me?"
"No."
"Okaasantold me to always be good to your classmates."
The redhead only shrugged and went back to his book again, basically avoiding Kuroko's eyes, "I don't want to."
"Akashi-kun is no fun."
After that, there were no more voices that annoyed him, and Akashi thought that the blue-haired boy had eventually gone, leaving him by himself amidst the commotion his classmates had made. Although he felt a little disappointed, Akashi brushed the thoughts off, because his father had told him that he didn't have to have someone by his side if they weren't useful for him.
He was focusing on his book again, reading the description of each animals intently, when the voice appeared again. He spontaneously looked up, eyes met with the other's blue ones in a split second, as he watched him sitting next to him again, this time bringing a book with him. "Akashi-kun allows me to sit here, right?"
"What are you doing?" Akashi couldn't hide his confusion.
Kuroko stared at him indifferently, "Akashi-kun doesn't want to play with me, so I'll accompany Akashi-kun instead."
Akashi didn't even realize he was frowning, "You don't have to..." he glanced at the other's name tag, "...Kuroko-kun."
"It's okay." A small smile formed on Kuroko's pale face, and Akashi couldn't stop himself from widening his eyes at the slight smile. "I don't want Akashi-kun to be alone anymore."
Akashi was surprised upon hearing Kuroko's words. Who was he kidding? Nobody had ever said that to him, not even his own father. It was like his existence was finally being avowed by someone else other than his mother.
Watching as Kuroko slowly drowned in to the book he was reading, Akashi's face softened, "Kuroko-kun, can I smile?"
Kuroko looked at him in confusion, "If Akashi-kun wants to smile, he can do it freely. Why does Akashi-kun need my approval?"
And with that, Akashi smiled a little, causing Kuroko to blink, "Akashi-kun should smile often. He looks less scary when he smiles."
"If Kuroko is with me, then I'll always smile."
"I'll always be with Akashi-kun then."
"Swear?"
"I swear."
His father was wrong. Having someone by his side wasn't a bad idea at all. And Akashi had finally known where did the source of his happiness come.
To him, it was Kuroko.
