AkaKuro + Prompt No. 40 : "Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?" requested by seitsuna-izayoi96

This is inspired by Enou no Chiririgiri, an AkaKuro doujin I typesetted XD

In this story Kuroko is an author, though his jobs is not really mentioned here


It was a dream.

I know it was a dream.

"Akashi-kun?" Kuroko called the red head who was standing not too far from him. Akashi turned around to face Kuroko and smiled softly.

A gust of wind blew and Akashi's body slowly disappeared. Kuroko outstretched his hands to catch Akashi, to prevent him from disappearing, but it was futile as Akashi's body cannot be touched by Kuroko.

Then, the disappearing Akashi mouthed three words to him. Enough to make Kuroko froze on the spot. Slowly Kuroko's body crumbled down and he found himself staring at his reflection.

He closed his eyes as the wind that hit him turn cold. He felt cold. He felt alone. Akashi's figure who mouthed those three words appeared in his mind.

"I'm sorry, Tetsuya."

The dream has a very surreal,

And a fleeting sense of reality.


Kuroko slowly opened his eyes and assess the room as his room. He felt tired despite just woke up from his sleep.

"Maybe… Because of that dream…" Kuroko mumbled.

"Dream?" Another voice from the door asked. Kuroko turned his head and saw Akashi walking towards him. "Good morning, Tetsuya."

Kuroko hastily pulled Akashi for a hug. Akashi, surprised, just let himself be hugged and return the hug seconds later. "What is it, Tetsuya? Did you had a nightmare?"

"I… Saw a dream." Kuroko said, still hugging Akashi. "In that dream, you disappeared. I'm sorry, I know it's just a dream but… I can't help but feel afraid…"

Akashi smiled as he slowly let go of the hug. "Tetsuya, look at me." Akashi said.

"Akashi-kun?" "I'm here. I'll always be here with you. I'll take away all of your worries and problem. I'll support you and protect you." Akashi reassured. "Because that's what lovers do, right?"

Kuroko seems to be taken aback by Akashi's words and he smiled. "Yes. Thank you, Akashi-kun."

Akashi was mesmerized by Kuroko's smile that he could only stop all of his movement and just stare at Kuroko. "Akashi-kun?" Kuroko asked.

"Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?" Akashi suddenly asked.

"Akashi-kun how could you joke at a time like this!?" Kuroko said, but he's still smiling.

"Because you rarely smile, Tetsuya."

"And why alternate universe?"

"Because most of your works are in alternate universe, my beloved author." Akashi answered. "I already prepared breakfast. Let's eat." Akashi said as he pulled Kuroko and lead him to the dining room.

It was months later that Akashi was surprised when he read a conversation between the protagonist and her lover in Kuroko's newly published book. He couldn't help but to smile as he read it.

"Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?"

"Why did you ask that?"

"Because your smile is so beautiful that for a moment, I feel the time stopped. You should smile more often."

"This is a smile that's reserved for you only. Be it a smile or a world, I'll gladly give them to you and only you. I love you. I can't live without you."

Akashi smirked and unlocked his phone with a swipe. He opened his e-mail and proceeded to write a new mail. After filling the e-mail address and the subject, he typed the mail.

I read your new book today. As expected from my Tetsuya, it was fascinating.

I love you too, and I also can't live without you. The sentiment is mutual.
