Heyyy before we begin this chapter, someone mentioned that there are some misused words within this story (as well as my other ones). Sorry 'bout that, I really suck at checking for typos and awkward word flow. GOMENASAIIIII~ for everything. I'll try my best to type a bit slower and actually not make mistakes. And italics mean thoughts while bolded letters mean things that Kuroko texts, writes or mouths.

Akashi's low voice made Kuroko shiver.

"Talk with me, Tetsuya."

The redhead's body pressed Kuroko into the lockers so that he couldn't move to get his cellphone or a piece of paper to write on.

Akashi stared into Kuroko's eyes and said, "Try saying my name. You can do it. Say 'A'."

The blue haired boy mouthed the syllable but no sound came out. The redhead just nodded in approval and continued, "Next is 'ka'."

Kuroko mouthed that syllable. "Good, and the last one is 'shi'."

When the blue haired boy mouthed the last syllable of Akashi's name, the redhead leaned in and kissed him lightly. Kuroko's eyes widened when he felt that warmth on his lips. He grabbed for anything to keep himself from falling onto the ground. Kuroko gripped Akashi's shirt. The redhead continued to kiss the blue haired boy and then Kuroko pushed Akashi away and covered the redhead's mouth with his hand.

Kuroko desperately needed something to write with. He mouthed the words he wanted to say, "Wait, Akashi-kun. Stop."

The redhead took hold of the hand over his mouth and gently licked at Kuroko's fingers. The blue haired boy stared wide eyed at the sight in front of him. He then pressed his other hand onto Akashi's chest and began to write letters.

"S.t.o.p.A.k.a.s.h.i."

The redhead stopped at the feeling of Kuroko writing letters on his chest with his fingers. "What is it, Tetsuya?"

The blue haired boy continued to write slowly, "I.C.a.n.t.L.o.v.e.Y.o.u."

"And why is that?" Akashi asked.

"I.D.o.n.t.W.a.n.t.T.o.F.e.e.l.A.n.y.m.o.r.e.P.a.i.n."

"You don't want to feel any more pain?" Akashi sighed, "You were hurt before, weren't you? That's why you don't talk?"

Kuroko slowly nodded and looked down at his feet. Akashi hugged the blue haired boy and asked, "Can we try? I'll take care of you, Tetsuya. I can promise you that."

The blue haired boy started writing on Akashi's chest again, "W.h.a.t.I.f.Y.o.u.D.i.e.T.o.o?"

"Excuse me, can you write that again, I thought you wrote, 'What if you die too'." The redhead said.

"I.D.i.d." Kuroko wrote.

Akashi started to understand more about the blue haired boy's past, "Tetsuya…I'm not going to die. Not until I'm over 90 years old at least." The redhead said with a small smile. He gently cupped Kuroko's face in his hand and kissed him softly.

While they kissed, Kuroko gently wrote on Akashi's chest, "I.T.h.i.n.k.I.M.i.g.h.t.L.o.v.e.Y.o.u."

The redhead couldn't make out the sentence that was being written on his chest but he wasn't ready to stop kissing Kuroko to ask. Akashi's hand slipped around the blue haired boy's waist and then under his shirt. Kuroko gasped at the feeling of Akashi's hands touching him. The redhead picked up the blue haired boy and pressed him harder into the lockers. Kuroko wrapped his legs around the redhead's hips and his arms around the redhead's neck. The lockers rattled at the movement and soon Akashi was unbuttoning Kuroko's shirt.

The blue haired boy knew he couldn't do this, he knew that eventually he would get hurt. But he couldn't stop. Akashi's hands danced all around Kuroko's bare chest and then he lightly nibbled on the blue haired boy's ear.

"Aka…!" Kuroko gasped and then he quickly slapped a hand over his mouth in surprise that he had made a sound.

Akashi froze too. He let go of Kuroko and watched the boy run away in embarrassment. When the redhead snapped out of his surprised position, he smiled to himself. He had gotten Kuroko to say the first two syllables of his name.

Kuroko buttoned up his shirt and ran down the sidewalk; his face red. He stopped to catch his breath and collect his thoughts.

I just made out with Akashi-kun… I just made out with the guy I think I love. Holy sea cucumbers, why did I do that? What came over me? Was I possessed by some cat demon? More importantly, I talked! I spoke! I used my voice! What am I going to do? I can't look at him without turning into a tomato anymore."

The blue haired boy returned to his house and lied down on his bed. He turned his face into his pillow, wishing he could just scream into it. Eventually Kuroko fell asleep, but his mind couldn't stop thinking about Akashi.

The next day, Kuroko did his best to avoid Akashi at all costs. Every time he spotted the redhead in the hallway, he would dart in the opposite direction and when they had lunch, he would avoid his gaze. Akashi didn't seem to act any different from his usual self, but everyone noticed the small changes with Kuroko.

When the blue haired boy was walking down the hall with Aomine to take out the trash, they both spotted Akashi. Before the tanned boy was able to call for Akashi, Kuroko dropped everything, grabbed Aomine by the hand and ran away.

"Oi, Tetsu! What are you doing?"

Kuroko panted and pulled out his cellphone, "I can't face him."

Aomine read the message in confusion, "Who? Akashi?"

When the blue haired boy nodded, Aomine laughed loudly, "Akashi is like a butterfly, he's harmless. Actually…wait, forget I said that. He's insane. Aha, my point is that you shouldn't be scared of facing Akashi, he understands things in many ways."

Kuroko typed out, "But…we ended up…making out yesterday, that's why I can't face him."

"Wait…what? Made out?! Okay…well, that's not the point. You love him, don't you?" Aomine asked. The blue haired boy's face turned bright red at his friend's question, then he slowly nodded.

The tanned boy smiled and said, "So then why don't you just tell him yourself? I'm sure he wants to know your true feelings." Aomine leaned to the side and his smile grew into a grin, "Perfect timing as always. He's right behind you, Tetsu."

Kuroko felt a shiver run up his spine as he heard that smooth voice from behind him say, "Daiki, can you leave us for a while?"

The blue haired boy didn't turn around; he was almost terrified of seeing the look on Akashi's face. "Tetsuya…Look at me." The redhead said with a calm voice.

Kuroko shook his head no. They stood there in silence for a moment and then the blue haired boy made an attempt at running away. Akashi quickly caught Kuroko's wrist and pulled the blue haired boy towards him. Kuroko tripped over his feet in all the movement and ended up falling straight into Akashi's arms.

Oh my feathers. No! Why am I so clumsy?! No! Why me? I'm so embarrassed! I can't escape him. What do I do? What do I do?! Kuroko thought to himself.

The redhead didn't say anything, knowing that Kuroko was trying to think straight. Finally Akashi asked the blue haired boy, "Tetsuya, do you love me?"

Kuroko opened his mouth but obviously no sound came out. He tried again and the same outcome occurred. The blue haired boy shut his eyes tightly, wanting to scream his thoughts to the redhead, but he couldn't remember how to use his voice.

Suddenly Akashi let go of him and muttered, "I see. Forget that I asked anything…"

Then the redhead started walking away. Kuroko stared at Akashi's back and tried to speak over and over again.

Speak! Speak! If you don't tell him anything now, he's going to leave you. Speak, dammit! Don't go. Don't leave me. Akashi-kun. Akashi-kun. Akashi-kun!

Kuroko felt tears running down his face, once again from frustration. His desperate thoughts made him want to punch something. He was so frustrated to the point where he almost blamed himself for choosing not to talk. Suddenly, his legs started shaking from the fear of losing Akashi. Kuroko fell to the ground, tightly gripped his shirt and opened his mouth again to try and say something even though he knew no sound would come out.

The redhead seemed far from him, he looked like he was going to disappear from Kuroko's line of sight.

"AKASHI-KUN!"

The name was called out so loudly that it echoed throughout the whole school. The redhead stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face the crying Kuroko. Akashi returned to the blue haired boy's side and asked, "Yes? What do you want, Tetsuya?"

Kuroko got up from the ground and wrapped his arms around Akashi's torso. His voice seemed more quiet than a whisper but the redhead was able to clearly hear the blue haired boy repeat, "Don't go." Over and over again.

Akashi smiled warmly and hugged Kuroko to comfort him.

"I'm not going anywhere, Tetsuya."

See you in the next chapter ;)
