Fairy tale

Akashi Seijuurou had always harbored a great hatred towards fairy tales. As a child, Seijuurou had never really enjoyed reading them, he had always preferred classics with a tragedy ending. As a teenager, his preference remain the same. And when he'll become an adult, that will probably never change. He never liked the idea that all fairy tales end up with a happy ending. He believes that it would only make the children who read it hope for their own 'happy ever after' that won't come true.

It is not until he met Kuroko Tetsuya that his whole perspective about fairy tales changed.

Tetsuya is sleeping beauty; he is docile, polite and compliant, but at the same time, he is also dedicated, willful and stubborn. And his stubbornness had constantly led him into countless trouble.

Tetsuya is snow white; other than the fact that he is as pale as snow white, he also has a knack for animals. And it goes the other way around too, he is loved by the animals everywhere he goes.

Tetsuya is Alice; he is always curious. His fascination to his surroundings is comparable to that of Alice's, who found herself lost in wonderland. And like Alice, he is also an outsider among the strong group of generation of miracles.

Tetsuya is belle; he loves books. One would always see him reading a book or two everywhere he goes. If he is not on the basketball court, you would always find him in the library. And like belle, Tetsuya's simple beauty had also enchanted the beast to fall in love with him.

Akashi has then begun reading different sorts of fairy tales. But every time he reads, he is always trying to find the similarities between the characters in the book and the teal haired boy.

But when Tetsuya approached him one day then handed him a letter of resignation and left without another word, the little fondness that he had recently developed for fairy tales turned into a full-fledged hate.

It was then that he realized, he had been reading a fairy tale all along. He was never one of the characters to begin with, his role is neither the prince nor the villain, he is just there to read.

And he will continue to do so, he will read until Tetsuya finds his own 'happy ever after' with someone that is not him.

As he thought, fairy tales only give a false hope that there will be a happy ending.

Akashi truly hates fairy tales.
