It was lunch time, and Akashi was heading towards a small cafe where he was meeting Kuroko and the rest of the Miracles for lunch while he had some time off work. Lost in his thoughts he wasn't paying attention to what was going on around him, however the feeling of bumping up against someone quickly brought him back to earth. Lifting his head to apologize, he caught only a quick glance of someone just slightly shorter then himself with mousy brown hair and his nose stuck in a book walking away.

"Excuse me!" he called out, trying to grab the others attention, but the other young man didn't so much as slow down.

"Excuse me!" he called a little louder, turning and beginning to head in the direction of the other when he still didn't respond. His manners (as well as his pride a bit if he were being honest) would not allow him to continue to lunch in good conscience.

Jogging lightly to catch up to the man before he got much further away, Akashi tapped lightly on his shoulder. Apparently he was quieter then he had thought in his approach because the man jumped and nearly dropped his book. Staring into the startled, but still warm brown eyes Akashi realized that the man before him was one of Kuroko's friends, Furihata if he remembered correctly. Under normal circumstances he would be polite, however he was irrtated after being ignored and having to chase after him.

"Furihata-san," he began "normally it's polite to acknowledge someone when they are speaking to you, and to apologize after bumping into someone." he finished with a low growl, upset at the fact that he was going to be late to lunch now because of this.

Furihata had been watching him intently, and now blinked as if to bring himself back to the world around him before opening his mouth to respond.

"I'm afraid I didn't hear you Akashi-san," he said slowly, almost as if he wasn't sure what he was saying, his hands moving along almost as if he were doing...sign language? Akashi was very confused at this but soon enough Furihata was speaking again.

"I can't hear very well anymore I'm afraid," he continued still speaking slowly however a smirk was now forming on his face. "Besides, you were the one who bumped into me, I had moved out of your path when I saw you coming but you veered into me. I thought you may have said sorry already that I just didn't hear so I kept walking."

Tucking the book under his arm, he moved to the side to go around Akashi who was now staring at him with a somewhat shocked expression, however before he left he spoke once more.

"I have to get to the library now, and you need to meet Kuroko and the others for lunch don't you? It wouldn't do for the emperor to be late now." he teased.

Watching Furihata disappear around the corner, Akashi was in shock. Not only because of what he learned but because he was just sassed by someone who he had always taken to be more on the timid side then anything. He turned quickly, back in the direction he was originally heading.

He needed to speak to Kuroko.

Meanwhile, around the corner just out of sight Furihata was standing, leaning up against the wall and trying to hold back giggles while he texted Kuroko. He had just talked to Akashi, who he has had a crush on for years now, and even caught him off guard. Finishing the message and sending it off, he pushed off of the wall and continued towards the library.

Today was going to be a good day.
