A/N: I'm back, minna-san! sorry it took so long. I was working on my new story. A brand new story or sequel I guess...

All of you who read Everlasting Requiem and Butterfly Effect from Love-fades-mine-has-021 story. I welcome all of you to the 3rd sequel! Yay!

For all of those who 'never' read both stories, I prefer for all of you to read those 2 stories FIRST. If you read this now, you won't be able to understand them.

I was about to post my story but I kept having writer's block because my mind is blocking with the sequel XD. It's like saying "Do the sequel. Do the sequel" so I followed my mind and post this story now so I can finally rest my mind.

This is the sequel of Butterfly Effect. Enjoy!

Rate and Review!

Bold and Italicized are flashbacks but when it's only italicized then it means it's the person's thoughts.

Again, please read Everlasting Requiem and Butterfly Effect to understand this story. Sorry if it's too much.

Prologue: Memories of the Past

Images after images.

Words after words.

Tears after tears.

Smiles after smiles.

'I love yous' after 'I love yous.'

Even until now, Akashi Seijuro never forgot his ray of shine who became his ray of shine, his reason to live. For two years he survived knowing that...

He would never see that face again. Ever emotionless.

He would never see that figure again. Ever short. (Although he was so sure Kuroko wouldn't like to hear that coming from someone as short as him.)

He would never see those eyes again. Ever clear and honest.

He would never see those mannerisms again. Ever surprising and unpredictable.

He would never see those smiles again. Ever happy and rare.

He would never see Kuroko Tetsuya again.

Akashi would never see the only person who gave him the reason to live again. He knew that past is passed, but knowing these things didn't make anything better. Especially when he knew that it was as if his heart just turned as hard and cold as ice that would never be able to melt.

As these things register, all he could do were cry and regret.

"Do you really want to love me, Akashi-kun? A broken person. Someone who lives in a world full of lies. Are you sure you want to love a weak person and trash like me, Akashi-kun?"

Akashi looked at the photo at his table, it was a photo of he and Kuroko together playing a video game when they slept over at Midorima's before, and let his lips purse into a very thin line. If he didn't know self-control then his lips would have bled now.

"I love you too, and I know you already know that, but you're beyond my reach. I will never reach you."

Five years...He had survived having these memories back and forth in his mind.

"I'm sorry... I didn't intend to make you worry... I was actually hoping to die, to stop all the pain I was facing, but then I remembered your face... I remember the times that you encouraged me to move to forward... and everytime you told me those three words, so here I am."

Years had passed since then that he had these flashbacks in his mind every now and then... That's how he knew how madly in love he had been.

"Next time you're leaving, please do tell me because I hate surprises." Akashi grunted as he sighed.

The red-head couldn't get rid of the fact that if he was sharper or acted quickly, then the teal-head should still be by his side. If only he wasn't too late back then.

"I missed you, Sei-kun..." He had hoped that it was all a mistake...that Kuroko was still alive. He had hoped to hear this words from Kuroko's mouth as he suddenly popped out of nowhere.

Even until now Akashi still loved him.

It had been two years since he found that that his lover is dead.

And for five years, he survived without seeing him.

Yet he could never forget him.

Akashi turned to his work. He signed his signature to the documents that his assistant gave to him. He glanced at the window and noticed that it was raining. Such a thing that made him remember a sad memory. A part of his past.

When he knew that Kuroko Tetsuya was dead, he fell into depression and never came out of his room. That night, it was raining, because of that he hated it outright. It was the rain that reflected his feelings and the day that he found out that his lover was no longer in this world.

He continued writing. After several minutes he was done. He looked at his watch and saw it was already ten o'clock. He grabbed his coat and went out on his office. He couldn't afford to be late tomorrow morning, tomorrow will be another anniversary. The death anniversary of his loved one. He went to his car and told the driver to go to his mansion and the driver nodded in response.

Akashi couldn't forget Kuroko after what happened to them years ago. He tried forgot in order to move on but his mind and heart wouldn't let him so he hid his memories of his beloved deep inside and locked them, but sometimes he can still remember them.

He stared at the necklace that he gave to Kuroko. The latter left the necklace to Midorima and told the latter to give it to Akashi as a remembrance. He never took it off. He was afraid that once he lost sight of it, it would forever disappear just like what happened with the phantom player, who should really be by his side right now.

They arrived at the Akashi manor. He hid the necklace on his breast pocket and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and felt the coldness the necklace possessed.

'Happiness is just temporary. They can end so easily.' He thought as he readied himself.

The driver opened the door for him and got out off the car, and the red-head proceeded to enter the Akashi Manor.

"There's no such thing as forever." He murmured before slipping inside his room, and tried persuading himself again that Kuroko Tetsuya didn't exist anymore.

A/N: Sorry guys, if it was short. It's just a prologue and not chapter 1.

If some are you getting confused by the 2 years and 5 years, let me explain:

5 years ago is when that Kuroko stayed in Europe and Akashi and GoM went back to Japan while Kuroko and Ogiwara stayed in Europe.

2 years ago is when that Akashi found out that Kuroko is already dead for a year.

Get it? If you still don't then that means you haven't read the first 2 stories, right? Read, cause you can all understand once you read it.

For those who understand. Thankies! And sorry If we have some grammar errors.

Rate and Review! :3

LFMH021 and ALTE

SNEAK PEAK!

He ran again, and went into a right turn. "Tetsuya!" But he wasn't right. There was actually no one inside the male's restroom. No one that looked and called Tetsuya.

He sighed. 'Idiot. He's dead. Stop fooling yourself.' He thought and turned back around with a smirk.

Akashi was just few steps from his not-yet-and-fixed car when something flew into his hands. His eyes widened. It was the most recent photo of he and Kuroko.

The photo only he and Kuroko owned. And he was so sure his was inside his wallet. So...how did this appear here? So neat, and so fresh?
