I really wanted to write some more NijiAka. Seriously, their interactions in the manga, however brief it may be, is so incredibly powerful for me. Like, there's some serious chemistry between them that can't be compared with other pairings, in my opinion anyway. I feel like with Nijimura, Akashi is more human, more real. Although, I may be romantizing it, who knows.

Anyway, this is more of a drabble-like fic. I'll be writing whatever scenes I can think of and just compile it here or something. Is there a plot? Maybe...maybe not. :D

Forget-Me-Not

Chapter 01: In Which Akashi Becomes the Vice-Captain

Akashi waited patiently as he sat on a bench in the locker room, the other members too excited to go home after a long, exhausting day to notice he was not joining them in showering or changing their clothes. Akashi had one last thing to do before the day ended.

He was the only one left when the door opened and the person he had been waiting had finally come. Akashi stood up, head held high as he introduced himself to the captain of the basketball team. Nijimura Shuuzo, if what he had heard correctly, was a force to be reckon with, but Akashi was confident enough in himself that he could handle him.

...Or maybe not.

Akashi's eyes widened as he felt cold water drip down from his head, his now wet fringe sticking to his forehead. Nijimura's hand hovered over him with a now empty water bottle.

"You're Akashi, right? The new vice-captain?" Nijimura stared down at the redhead, sharp eyes roaming up and down the teen, assessing him.

Akashi clenched his jaw tight, righteous anger filling him, and merely nodded, still processing the fact that someone had actually had the nerve to pour water on him.

"Listen, I don't know why the coach suddenly made you vice-captain but don't get a big head and start acting high and mighty because as far as I'm concerned, you're nothing but a brat." Nijimura stressed, eyes narrowing. "You better prove you're worth the position you're given, got it?"

There was silence, a thick tension in the air as red eyes clashed with silver ones in a staring contest, neither wanted to lose to the other. Akashi had never felt so humiliated in his entire life, he had never had someone blatantly disrespect him like this and as he was about to open his mouth and speak his mind, he was promptly taken aback, the tension dissipating, when Nijimura suddenly broke out a smirk, placed a hand on top of his head, and thoroughly ruffled his wet hair.

"Congratulations, Akashi!" Nijimura greeted with a soft chuckle, ruffled the smaller teen's hair once more before flicking his forehead and leaving him in the middle of the locker room.

Akashi blink before he turned his gaze towards the door where Nijimura just left and slowly raised a hand to touch the stinging spot on his forehead.

Honestly, right now, he was just confused...

Nijimura closed the door softly and chuckled as he recalled the look of utter bewilderment on his new vice-captain's face.

Akashi Seijuuro, huh...

He had a feeling that they would get along just fine...

Honestly, this practically wrote itself out, I might as well have nothing to with it. The both of them just do things on their own.

Hope you enjoyed reading this~ please leave me a comment and tell me what you think! Also, if you have any suggestions, I'm open to it. No guarantees tho!
