I'm so sorry for the late update. I was really busy making my Literary Research Paper plus I'm a graduating student and all so it would be really hard to update at a fix date. Anyway, thanks to all the reviews! I didn't expect that this would gain such popularity! Thank you!
Anyway, this is AKAFURI! Don't like the pairing? You're missing out, man! XD.
TITLE: The Absolute Courting of Akashi Seijuurou
GENRE: Romance/Humour
PAIRINGs: AkaFuri, KagaKuro, AoSaku, KasaKise (I would put KiseMatsu but it would seem like Kise is the seme, but I really like the sound of it.), MuraMuro, MidoTaka and many more implied. :D
Chapter 2: How It Really Started
Akashi Seijuurou is a very powerful man. His words are absolute, his decision cannot be disobeyed.
The Generation of Miracles knew this. They breathed this fact since they were in their Teiko days, they had always acknowledged this fact not because they wanted to but because they have no choice but to do so.
And now, here they are in his little old mansion—actually, the Akashi's manor is larger than that of the lot where they had played in the Winter Cup , but that's not really important, right?—and talking about trivial things.
Kuroko cleared his throat. This is bad, is he going to finally make his move? mean, he had been stationing some guards outside Seirin. Is he really?
"You have something on your mind, Tetsuya." Akashi's eyes glinted, smile slightly sharpening at the edges.
Kise shivered at the sight. Aomine pretended to sleep.
"Well… I have." Kuroko took a sip from his vanilla shake. "It seems that you have been guarding our school these past few days. What are you up to?"
"Ah. So you've finally caught on, Tetsuya."
Kuroko wanted to point out that seeing extraordinarily handsome men in formal black suit is not really hard to notice, so yes, he had caught on since day one of the stationing of guards in their school.
Akashi calmly stood up and closes the curtains to his living room. The small gesture made the room looks more ominous and dark, like a haunted prison in old dungeons of ancient castles.
The menacing atmosphere was then cut by the uncaring snores of Aomine. Yes, only Aomine could pretend sleeping and end up really falling asleep.
Murasakibara eats his desserts happily, Midorima wonders why he had come at the first place. Akashi ignored it all.
"You see, I have fallen in love." Akashi's words made the Generation of Miracles stop what they were doing. Kuroko tightened his hold on his vanilla shake, Kise paused from stuffing Aomine's nose with tissues, Midorima let go the yaoi manga he was holding (Shut up! This is my lucky item for the day!), Murasakibara almost chokes.
"EHHHHHHH?" Kise shouted startling Aomine who sat right up.
"Yes! Yes, Akashi, you're absolutely right!" He shouted. Is he stupid or something? Wait, he is, never mind then.
Akashi frowned. "Your reactions tells me that it seems me falling in love is impossible."
The others look at each other. "Well…"
"Wait… wait… you're in love?" Aomine's eyes widened before bursting out with laughter. "HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!"
"You better close that loud mouth of yours, Daiki, or it will never get a chance to be loud ever again." Akashi smiled calmly, moving softly towards the choking in laughter Aomine who was trying to stifle his laughter.
"Okay… okay… I will stop laughing now." Aomine grew silent. Akashi's in love? Pffft. HAHAHAHAHA! Impossible! AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
Kuroko pursed his lips. "Akashi-kun, if you tell me that you're in love with Kagami, I would tell you now that I know where you live and that I know how to use your scissor on you."
"Akashi is in love with that Bakagami?" Aomine bit his lips before bursting out. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!"
Akashi's eye twitched in irritation. Of all the people in Seirin that they could assume he was in love with, why does it have to be Kagami?
Akashi sighed. "Shut up, Daiki."
The red head then snaps his fingers before a white screen was brought down from the ceiling and a vivid image of a mousy brown haired guy with an atmosphere that loudly screams 'PLAIN' was projected upon it.
Kuroko's eyes widened. "Why do you have a photo of a sleeping Furi-kun?"
No, seriously, of all the photos he could offer to them, why is it a sleeping Furihata who clearly was only wearing a boxer?
"This." The loving—psychotic—smile that the Rakuzan captain shows scared everyone beyond their wits. "This is Furihata Kouki."
"Yes, I know who's that it, Akashi-kun. He's my classmate and teammate after all." His voice was bland but it irks the red head for some reason. For some reason, he felt that Tetsuya's flat voice had just mocked him.
"That's right, Tetsuya. He is your classmate and teammate. I am aware of that, just like how I am aware that he saw you with Kagami last week in the shower of your school when you thought that everyone had gone home already." Akashi felt superior when he saw Kuroko's poker face twitch and blush a little.
"Good for him then. He might learn a thing or two from us." Blue eyes glinted.
"Well, you should save your lesson for yourself then, Tetsuya. He does not need that." Heterochromatic eyes replied.
"Oh? Why, may I ask?" The phantom offers a soft mocking smile.
"Because I'll be teaching him myself personally." The Emperor's smile sharpened.
The rest gulped. Alas, the mischievousness of their shadow-like friend had come at the wrong time.
"I…" Kise hesitated. "I could help you teach him, Akashicchi!"
The wooden stick on Akashi's hands snaps into two. "Pardon, Ryouta. I thought I just heard you offer your help to teach Kouki."
Kise nodded happily, Aomine inched away from him. "Yes, you heard right, Akashicchi. That way, your work will be easier!"
"Ah… Kise…" Midorima looked at the murderous former captain of theirs.
"You want to help me teach Kouki?" Akashi approached the blond. Kise smiled brightly.
"That's what I said."
"Really…"
"Kise-kun, I think you should probably write your will now. Hopefully, you'll include my name as an inheritor to your will." Kuroko looked blankly at the confused player.
"Eh?" Kise looked at the short man in front of him who was holding a scissor.
"Now, why would you think I'll let you help me with teaching Kouki all sorts of form that lovers are doing behind doors or in Tetsuya's case, in public shower stalls?"
Kuroko's eye twitched. "It was a one-time thing, Akashi-kun, a one-time thing"
Akashi ignored him before trying to stab Kise's pretty, pretty face. It missed only by half an inch. Kise cried in relief.
"Uwah! I didn't mean that way! I thought I'll help you teach Kouki to love you!" Kise wailed as he touched his, thankfully, unharmed face.
Murasakibara stopped munching. "Ah. Aka-chin tries to stab Ki-chin because he's jealous."
Everyone looked at him. Did he just figure that out?
"I think Murasakibara-kun should just eat for now or call Himuro-kun for assistance." Kuroko suggested. Funny how he could mock anyone with that flat voice of his.
Murasakibara paused before nodding. Funny how he could take Kuroko's words seriously every single frigging time. I mean seriously? Who would really believe that sexy flat voice of Kuroko? Oh wait, there's the violet haired overgrown child and the red-headed Kagami dancing upon the shadow's dainty hands. Never mind then.
"Be clear with your words then, Ryouta. There'll be no next time for you if I misunderstood you once again." Akashi smiled before snapping his fingers and the slideshow began.
And for the next two hours, Kuroko learnt a million things about his friend, Furihata. The others felt that they know this boy now even better than when they had met him personally.
'Who knew Furi-kun likes me better than everyone in our team.' Kuroko mused.
'Who knew this guy likes Anime better than hentai magazine!' Aomine shook his head, this poor guy is missing out greatly.
'Who knew Furicchi mostly owned red and blue boxers! Where's the fun in that?' Kise pouted.
"Furi-chin… likes the same strawberry pocky that I like, Aka-chin. He's good for you." Murasakibara said.
Midorima raised his brow. "I liked the same tea-flavoured ice cream that you liked, Murasakibara. Am I good for Takao then?"
The violet haired paused before nodding his head. "As long you like the same thing I like, you have my consent."
Kuroko's eyes twinkled. "Oh really? I heard Himuro-kun likes vanilla shake and you also like that too, right, Murasakibara-kun? . I like vanilla shake too. Does that mean, I'm good for Himuro-kun?"
The giant ripped the chips he was holding accidentally. "No. I don't like vanilla shake, anymore. I like chocolate shake now. And if I did like vanilla shake again, I'll crush you, Kuro-chin. Muro-chin is mine."
Kuroko hid a smile. Good, if Murasakibara-kun forbids Himuro-kun from coming to visit Kagami, Kagami will only pay attention to me.
"Anyway, so Akashi-kun is really in love with Furi-kun. What could we do about it?"
What he really likes about Tetsuya is that he is very perceptive. "Well, I like you all to help me court him. I had already told my parents about it and they approve of him already. Mother says he reminds her of when Father was still young so she insisted that he will be my bride then."
"What kind of fucked up mother do you have?" Aomine yawned.
"A mother who just know how to break relationship between teens as dumb as you are, Daiki. She could make little Ryou believes you're cheating on him. Though you don't want that, right? You don't want him to think that you played with him like how he fears you would and then you'll lose him forever." Akashi paused before smirking. "And then your fear of him running to Shouichi Imayoshi will definitely come true."
Aomine stiffened. "I'll… help you, Akashi."
"Good choice, Daiki. Oh, and Ryouta, I advised you that you should just follow my orders for your own sake." Heterochromatic eyes gleamed devilishly. "Shintarou would definitely help me. He's smart enough to accept the bribery I am offering him."
"And what might that be?" Midorima pushes his glasses upward in I'm-so-cool-with-glasses gesture.
"Only the limited edition of the lucky items you will be needing for the next three weeks. I'll say this now, you could not find this anymore in the market. They're a bit expensive, you see. You're rich but these are limited only."
Midorima shook Akashi's hand in a gesture of he'll be now in short term contract with him. They shook hand like a boss.
"And as for Atsushi, you'll help right?"
"Will there be food?"
"There will be food serve by a scarcely dressed Tatsuya."
Murasakibara shook hand with Akashi. "It's a deal then, Aka-chin"
"And don't think you'll get away, Tetsuya." Kuroko paused from his escaped, turning towards them with as much as dignity he pretended to still have. The man had seen him having sex with Kagami, do you think he still have one?
"I have photos of that scoundrel of yours doing you. It's not really pretty if the public saw this."
Kuroko tsked. "The other two got prizes and we got threats, how's that fair, Akashi-kun?"
Aomine seconded. Kise just stayed quiet, afraid that if he supported the two, he'll really get killed.
"Okay then. I got two tickets to France for Daiki, it will be really useful for him in the future. And as for you, what do you want?"
Kuroko smiled softly. "I want to get rid of Himuro-kun."
"I'll crush you, Tetsu-chin."
"I'm kidding." He was not. Aomine knew that Kuroko is not joking around. The guy practically wants to monopolize that Bakagami to himself, he knew. It was the most traumatic event he had seen in his entire life, more traumatic than when Ryou first rejected him (the only one who could reject me is me! Dammit!) but that was another tale to tell.
"Really, Tetsuya, what do you really want?" Akashi asked impatiently.
"I was just wondering if you could give me two sets of silver rings with sapphire and ruby embedded in it."
"Why?"
"For my anniversary with Kagami." So that I could get rid of that stupid cheap ring he had been cherishing.
Aomine inched away from the bluenette when he had felt the same aura that fated day so long ago.
"Damn. Tetsu's crazier than you are, Akashi. I'm starting to think, you learn from this fucktard." Aomine whistled.
"Wh-what about me, Akashicchi?" Kise whimpered at the gaze of his former captain.
"You can have Kasamatsu." Kise's face brightened.
"Okay then. What should I do now that you all agree to help me?"
"You could kidnap him." It's not impossible, Aomine added in his thought.
"…You could eat him up." Well, it's obvious who suggested that. Of course it's Midorima.
"You could crush all those who stood your way in courting him…" A pause. "What's courting, Aka-chin?"
"How the hell did you even get such as hot as that Himuro guy, Murasakibara?" Aomine glared, doesn't this guy know how much effort he had put in courting Ryou? And now he's asking what's courting as if he never done it before.
"…I gave Muro-chin a chocolate… it was on Valentine's day… he was very happy… then he kissed me…then…" Murasakibara's face lazily reddens.
"I don't want to hear your pathetic excuse of a courting!" Aomine bellowed. This guy is testing his patience! He just gave the guy a chocolate and the man was already all over him? It took him all his six months allowance for Ryou to even be all over him.
Aomine realized he was really pathetic. He kicked a wall and sulked.
"They're all useless." Kuroko shook his head and looked at his captain. "How about you blackmail him into dating you."
Akashi looks at him. "You're useless."
"Akashi-kun, you're not going to make your move if you'll listen to their absurd ideas." Satsuki plopped down besides Kise. "What you need is an advice from Shoujo manga expert like me."
Aomine bristled. "Shoujo manga expert my ass! I've followed everything you said to me and all it did was make Ryou awkward with me."
"And now you're dating, Dai-chan, it all still ended pretty well" Satsuki raised her eyebrow.
"Akashi, if you listen to her, she'll make you run around half-naked just to 'seduce' that poor guy you're going to threaten to date you." Aomine said solemnly, face serious as if a bitter memory had just crossed his mind again.
"Oh. So that's why you went hiding in my house for a while." Kuroko realized.
"They never really stop bothering me… they're still everywhere…those creepy girls… those creepy, creepy girls…" Aomine closes his eyes, lips set into a straight line.
"Shut up, Dai-chan. Ryou was blushing when that happened. It means that your form of perverted seduction is working on him too."
"I HAD NEARLY GOTTEN RAPED BY THOSE GIRLS! ARE YOU STUPID, WOMAN?" Aomine snapped.
Akashi frowned. "This is not about how you succeeded in your courting, Daiki. It's about mine. Satsuki."
The pink haired woman stood and snapped her fingers too to get their attention. "Romance between men is not really rare. You all are the living proof of that. But, why are you all so stupid with advices?"
Kise raised his hand.
"No, Kise, 'because when you're in love you became stupid' is not a valid answer."
Kise brought his hand down.
"You all complicate romance on your own. Why don't we go back to the basic?" Satsuki suggested.
"When you helped me, why didn't we ever go back to the basic?" Aomine deadpanned.
"Because you're stupid. Anyway, as I was saying, the basic. Akashi-kun can start by sending gifts to Furihata-kun as a gesture that you want to court him. If he accepts, you can proceed."
"And if he doesn't accept?" Midorima asked.
"It's from Akashi-kun, his life will be in danger if he doesn't." Satsuki replied.
Akashi thinks deeply. And then his eyes glinted.
"Kouki likes cats."
"So?" Aomine raised his brow. "Everyone likes cats."
"I disagree." Midorima objected.
"So?" Aomine raised his brow again. "Everyone likes to disagree."
"Burn." Kuroko deadpanned.
"As I said, Kouki likes cats. He would really appreciate that." Akashi gritted his teeth. This fools are making things complicated, not him.
"That's a great idea, Akashi-kun! Do you have something in mind for the breed?" Akashi nodded.
"Scottish Fold." Satsuki contemplated his suggestion before a light bulb appears on her head.
"I know where we can find one. One that will remind him of you every time he looks at it!"
"Hmm." Akashi stared at her. Satsuki continued, "Though they will have to go to Osaka."
Akashi stared at them. "You will, right?"
Kise opens his mouth. Akashi stared more intensely. Kise closes his mouth.
"You will, right?" Akashi smiles. Shivers run up and down their back, they all nodded.
"And after that Satsuki?"
"You'll be doing missions, Akashi-kun. Missions of courting."
Akashi nodded.
"And the first one will be?"
"Mission #1: Give him the sweetest thing you could give every time you see each other." Satsuki said.
And thus, Akashi's torture, I mean courting began.
OoOoO
So here he is. In front of the Seirin High's gate, just standing there with all the absolute pride he had within him.
Their school got some school break and he'll be free to do what he wants to in his free time.
"Hey, you, yes, you. Where's the gym?" He asked the boy who walked by him.
"I-it's t-t-that w-w-w-w-way!" The brown haired boy shouted before running away. Akashi raises his brow before shrugging. He can't help it if they're scared of him, he's absolute after all.
"Give him the sweetest thing I could give, eh?" Akashi looks around before calling a girl with long black hair.
"Yes?" The girl says shyly.
"What do you think is sweet enough to give to a man?" The girl's eyes widened before she blushes and covers her face. It's yaoi in action! Heaven! She internally screams.
"Kiss." She whispers.
"Come again?" Akashi's nose wrinkled, he hates it when people speak in a way that it does not even reach the human ear.
"A kiss! You should give him a kiss!"
"Thank you. Goodbye then." Akashi walked hastily towards the gym. "A kiss, huh? Perfect."
When he arrived, he saw the Seirin team practicing really hard. And oh there he is, Furihata Kouki.
"Kouki." He called out before ignoring all the stares towards him and proceeded to walk towards the basketball player he had called.
Furihata drops the ball he was about to shoot. Why is he here?
"Akashi-san…" Before the brunette could continue, Akashi kissed him on the lips.
Well, he knew he had succeeded at his first try. Akashi smirked.
Furihata's face blossomed to a fiery red tomato before he pushes the Rakuzan captain and running away.
Akashi tilted his head.
"Great job, Akashi-kun, you just successfully stolen Furi-kun's first kiss. For a suitor, you have some guts." There's that flat mocking tone again. Akashi's eye twitches.
"Don't think of going after him, Akashi-kun. You're only going to make him more awkward. Should have listened to Aomine then."
Akashi's face darkens.
OoOoO
Furihata hides behind the doors of their locker room. His face is still aflame, his heart still beating fast.
He gently touches his lips before screaming. "NO GIRL WOULD WANT TO MARRY ME NOW!"
OoOoO
(From: Tetsu-kun
To: Satsuki Momoi
Akashi-kun decided to give Furi-kun a kiss.
4:36)
Satsuki face-palmed.
(From: Satsuki Momoi
To: Tetsu-ku
Does he even know that he's still courting?
4:38)
(From: Tetsu-kun
To: Satsuki Momoi
Funny. Because he's trying to stab my teammates who had 'inappropriately' touched 'his Kouki'.
4:42)
Satsuki crossed Mission number one with an irritated face.
"Of all the things he could give… he's more difficult than Dai0chan than I thought…" Satsuki bit her lips.
[Data]
Status: 0%
Mistake: Akashi is also kind-off stupid when it comes to courting.
Need improvement: Common sense. Lots of it.
"Hello, Tetsu-kun? Can you convinced Riko to conduct a training camp?"
TBC
Hehehe. I find it funny that Akashi does not know how to court properly.
Review!
