At a certain train station a teal-head was just about to get out of the train car, he was holding onto a back pack on him and a milkshake on his other hand. The other people passing by did not even took notice of the teal-head as they merely passed by him and the teal-head easily weaved his way through the crowds.
Akashi Seijurou was looking at his window pane waiting patiently for the day to be over, he was no longer listening to his homeroom teacher who was babbling away with a certain topic that the red-head had already learned about. He easily finished all of his duties at their school and decided to go home now. When he reached the gate there were no longer any people there at that time of the day so he was surprised when suddenly his eyes were now covered by warm hands.
"Love, I know that is you", but the hand indicated that it will not release its hold to his eyes so he decided to go along with his lover's antic.
"I won't open my eyes I promise love, just let me at least face you", and the hand slowly removed itself from his eyes. Keeping his promise he looked back eyes closed to face his lover but what he encountered from his lover was a kiss. This kiss unlike the rest this was wanting and urgent, missing his lover so badly the red-head kissed back with the same intensity.
Kuroko Tetsuya watched the scene unfold in front of him, his eyes widened and his lips quivered as he could feel the tears streaming on his face. And he ran, and ran with no particular direction in mind his tears falling as he did.
When he felt himself tired of running he saw the placed where he ended up and saw that he was back at the same station, remembering what had happened he decided. After he collected himself and made sure no traces of tears nor sadness were evident he sat at one of the chairs there and waited patiently and he decided that when the red-head would arrive he would act as if he just arrived.
Akashi Seijurou arrived at the train station on the right time but when he looked he could not see the person he was looking for.
"Akashi-kun, I'm sorry did you wait long?", it seemed that the red-head was a bit shaken so he decided to take no notice of this as his best friend slowly smiled at him.
"It was ok Kuroko waiting for you is always worth it", the teal-head felt a pain at his chest as he heard this.
"Oh you are not with Mayuzumi-san?", the red-head was taken a back by this and he smiled ruefully.
"I told her that I was meeting up with you so I cancelled our date", the teal-head merely hummed at this and inwardly smiled.
They both began walking to the house of the red-head which was nearby courtesy of the teal-head who argued that it was better than to take a taxi.
I'm running down the street, calling out your name
But you're not looking back as it slowly fade away
The teal-head was in his own world when suddenly a warm hand was enveloping his and he was taken a back by the sudden gesture.
"Akashi-kun what is wrong?"
"I have been calling on your name for a while now", the red-head said clutching his hand tighter.
So out of reach but you're just a block away from me
Did we even know what we're fighting for?
"Then you could have just said so?"
"Because you look like you are about to disappear somewhere else and leave me behind Kuroko", the teal-head closed his eyes at this and slightly covered his eyes with his bangs then looked up straight to the red-head..
Are we losing ourselves this time?
Saying things we don't wanna say
"I will never do that to you Akashi-kun, I will never leave you alone", Kuroko said as he felt more pain in his heart.
Only hurting the one we love the most
To the station where we first met
"You are the only who could say that to me with a straight face", and the red-head chuckled at this as he pulled on to his friend.
I won't give up on us, didn't mean to do you wrong
Don't turn your back on love, with me is where you belong
Coz' I would rather fight with you
Than be happy with someone else
No I won't give up on us
7 minutes 'till the train departs
"You know that my heart is already yours right?", and the teal-head's eyes were blank his emotions hidden deep within. red eyes looked at him full of love and caring that it melted his heart easily and warmed him up inside.
"Uhm…Akashi-kun, why are we doing this again?", he asked blankly as the red-head has his hand was below his chin raising it up for the red-head to see him clearly.
"Because Kuroko, you are the only one who will not laugh at me"
"Why would anyone laugh at you?"
"Its out of my character to show…romantic antics..", the red-head looked away a tinge of red on his face and removing his hand off the teal-head's chin.
"Don't worry i'm sure Mayuzumi-san will be delighted to hear those words from you". He gave a small smile and he was suddenly engulf in the red-head's warmth as he was hugged.
"Kuroko you are the only one who understands me afterall", and the teal-head just hugged him back his face covered by his bangs.
I can't take another sleepless night
Are we gonna have a crazy mind?
The tealhead's countless feelings has begun to overwhelm him that he could not sleep that night and he knew that his heart had already decided.
All we need is just one more try...
If we'd only make it through this night
The red-head would make sure that everything will be perfect as he has always planned, all the needed players are now in the board and all he has to do is to begin, with that thought in his mind he drifted off to sleep thinking of his special person.
I promise we're gonna get it right
before the sun will rise were falling, fighting, crying, again for one last time...
That morning Kuroko woke up earlier than the red-head, making sure that he would not make too much of a noise to wake up the red-head he was as quiet as he could be.
I won't give up on us, didn't mean to do you wrong
Don't turn your back on love, with me is where you belong
Leaving a letter at the nightstand, he was about to leave when a hand grabbed his sleeve he was startled at this when he thought that the red-head awoke but only to see that he was soundly asleep.
Coz' I would rather fight with you
Than be happy with someone else
I won't give up on us
Taking the red-head's hand slowly removing it from its grip he kissed each knuckle softly, but he knew he had to stop when he felt tears streaming down his face. He held back a sob as he covered his mouth to prevent the sound from escaping him. And before he left he kissed the forehead of the red-head his lips lingering on the spot, then he leaned his forehead to the red-head.
"I love you", he whispered before he left.
7 minutes 'till the train departs
When Akashi woke up that day and saw and read the letter he ran as fast as he can to the train station the teal-head's words ringing on his head.
I won't give up on us, didn't mean to do you wrong
"Akashi-kun, you reading this means I'm gone and I'm so sorry for that…
Don't turn your back on love, with me is where you belong
..i have been meaning to tell you that I will be leaving Japan and may never return…I wanted to see you before I leave and tell you about it but I was too caught up in the moment….
"No, you promised me!", Akashi screamed back in his head.
Coz' I would rather fight with you
…don't bother following me since as soon as I reach Tokyo I will be out of the country..
Than be happy with someone else
..i have always wanted you to be happy, even if the one to make you happy is not me
"No Kuroko , the only one I want is you no one else", these thoughts ran through his mind as he ran.
No I won't give up on us
..i'm sorry I really am sorry, I was selfish for not telling you this for a long time
"Don't apologize, the one doing that should be me and not you", he pleaded in his mind.
7 minutes 'till the train departs
"I'm sorry for breaking my promise…
7 minutes 'till the train departs
I'm sorry for loving you so much that it hurts...
"Kuroko…", he pleaded to whatever god or fate or destiny that someone would just bring back time or stop it so that his Kuroko would never leave him.
7 minutes 'till the train departs
…this is farewell, yours always and forever, Kuroko "
"KUROKO!", the red-head wailed as he watched the train fade away in the distance, leaving him broken and irreparable.
