"Tetsumi!"
The last thing she remembered was someone calling her name and her world turn upside down.
…
It was dark; pitch black.
That was the first thing she thought.
It was tight, as if someone was hugging her.
What was happening?
She felt like she was being shaken.
She wanted to open her eyes but she didn't have the strength to do so.
She only managed to catch a glimpsed color of red.
But who was that?
She wanted to know but she can't move a muscle.
And then, her vision started to get black again.
…
Saturday, 9:30 a.m.
Kuroko's eyes fluttered, opened wide; revealing her unique blue orbs. As soon as she opened her eyes, the first thing that came to her mind was to move. She used her hand to support her body and sat in a proper manner on the bed. She scrunched her eyebrows, feeling a nasty bump was formed at the back of her head. She moved her hand to touch it and winced at the slight contact between her hand and the stupid bump.
Dammit it hurts
Kuroko was already annoyed at the cursed feeling on her head and her shitty hair was not being helpful either. She massaged her temple slowly, trying to cool down and that was the moment she felt large sterile gauze on her forehead. She cocked an eyebrow.
What's with these wounds?
She frowned, not liking a bit of it. She hated this. Who would want to wake up covered in bandages anyway? She let her eyes travelled further of the room that she thought was hers before realizing that it was obviously not.
Uh-oh. . .
Kuroko widened her eyes in pure shock and gasped. One could say she looked like someone who had just witnessed something extraordinary when it was actually not. Her hand covered her mouth in completely utterly surprised. She moved her head toward the door and started to get off bed.
Where am I?
Kuroko brushed off her clothes from dusks that'd been on her clothes and abruptly stopped in the middle of doing it. She froze, standing like a living statue. Right now she really really hoped—silently prayed—that her eyes did not deceive her because the clothes she was currently wearing was absolutely not her clothes. She was wearing a—quite exquisite—white nightgown that had frills at the end of it and black loose ribbon on the waist part.
Kuroko gobsmacked. Many questions bombarded her mind at that moment. Was she been abducted? Kidnapped? Or maybe . . . Kuroko's heartbeat went faster each moment as she gulped big amount of saliva as the last thing surface her mind. . .Human trafficking?! Kuroko shivered. She slumped against the nearest cushions in defeat whilst hugging her body. She can't possibly been a victim of human trafficking was she? Kuroko shook her head and lightly slapped her face; trying to ignore such negative thoughts that were scaring her and tried to think positive.
I need to get out from this place, she decided, looking determined. Kuroko got up from her previous position and started to look for window to escape. Though luck sure wasn't on her side today because the moment she slid the sliding door that lead to the veranda, Tetsumi uncharacteristically let out a shrill of shriek and accidentally slipped, causing her to fall down. Her ankle turned outward and her feet inward.
Apparently, she was being abducted in a penthouse of a condominium. Horrified, she tried to get away from that place but her current condition was not being helpful especially after that fall she just had. Kuroko rubbed her ankle, slightly pouting. Damn, does it hurts.
Suddenly there was a shuffle of approaching footsteps coming to the room she was in. Kuroko was alarmed. She dragged herself to a secluded place, shut her eyes and covered her ears, trembled. She didn't know what happened but the next thing she knew, a pair of arms were grabbing her shoulders tightly as if protecting her. She doesn't feel tense and whatnot. In fact, she felt safe. Weird . . .
Then, the arms started removing her arms that was covering her ears. "Open your eyes." A voice that was too familiar for her owned liking demanded. It whispered—almost seductively—to her ears that sent shivers down her spine. The strange thing was she thought she may have heard the same words few days ago (in the elevator maybe?). It was then did she open her eyes.
Kuroko gasped as she saw the person before her. "A-Akashi-san!" She felt her face grew hot that it was bothering her.
Said person smiled coyly at her. He was crouching down to her. "Yes, it's me Tetsumi." Akashi never thought Kuroko would stutter when she sees him because she always wore her expressionless face. But one thing he knew though, he was definitely enjoying seeing her blushing face.
"What a-are you doing here?" she tried to cover her face but failed. Right now, she may have an idea where she was. In Akashi Seijuurou's house.
Akashi eyed her suspiciously. "That is my question for you. What are you doing here? You were supposed to be lying on the bed to recover." He answered, eyes still staring at her.
Kuroko quirked an eyebrow to him. "Why am I supposed to be there? Where am I? What happened yesterday? How come you're here? And most importantly, what happened to me?" This was surely getting on her nerve. It was upsetting her that she didn't know anything that was happening to her. Her body.
This time Akashi was the one to be surprised. "That was whole lots of questions you have there but Tetsumi, did you or did you not remember what happened?" Surely she would remember what had happen right?
Kuroko frowned, shaking her head in the process. She looked at him in bored stupefaction. "No."
Akashi looked away for a moment, seemingly to be in train of thoughts. "You really didn't remember?" He asked again, making sure.
"Yes, I don't. And would you kindly please tell me." She replied with a hinted of annoyance.
Akashi twitched. No one speak to him in that kind of manner. He was Akashi Seijuurou after all. But again, Tetsumi was an exception. He didn't know why though (maybe she was special?). "I would." He stated, standing up and handed out a hand for her. "When I get you back on the bed."
"Somehow, I feel weird hearing that." She proclaimed, tilting her head upwards to see the redhead that was towering her.
Mischievous twinkled in his mismatched eyes. "My, my, I didn't mean in that way."
Kuroko huffed silently before accepting his hand. However, as soon as she got up, she fell again but Akashi had quick reflect. He managed to catch her from falling. "Are you okay, Tetsumi?" he let her arms draped around his shoulders as a support and he to her.
"I think I sprained my ankle." She murmured in a very soft voice that one could not hear if one didn't pay enough attention. But Seijuurou was Akashi Seijuurou. He heard that soft whispers of her.
"I guess that leaves me no choice." He suddenly said, startling her. Out of the blue, he pulled her up in bridal style. Kuroko stunned, wide-eyed, "Wha—"
Akashi lifted her up easily and brought her inside the room. She was, as expected, as light as a feather. He carefully placed her on a small stool and leaved to get the first-aid or so she thought. Kuroko was sure the tips of her ears were red. She buried her face between her legs, completely in embarrassment. This man . . . has no shame at all!
Akashi came back later with a crutch in his hands. Kuroko's jaw dropped at that. "What are you going to do with that?" she questioned.
"For you, of course." He responded smoothly.
"I don't need it."
"Of course you do."
"I don't."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Ye—we're getting nowhere if we keep fighting." He reminded.
"I do not need that." She stubbornly replied.
"You need to have this." He deadpanned, face turning stoic. His mouth formed a thin straight line. "My orders are absolute." He added.
Kuroko mentally rolled her eyes, her face turning serious as well. Silent overtook the two young adults and there was a tense moment. She stared at him with burning passion and his mismatched eyes looked down to her for he had the advantage of towering her since she was sitting down.
Kuroko was the first to break the silent. "If you don't want to help me, just sit down. I'll get myself a pack of ice that can help me ease the pain. Not a crutch that do nothing to help me." Kuroko tried to stand despite feeling pain at the muscle. She used everything that was near to her as a support to stand (except Akashi, obviously).
Meanwhile, Akashi was watching her silently. He was waiting for the bluenette to give up and let her be. Kuroko's stubbornness was overload that she went overboard. She winced inwardly at the aching pain on her leg. Akashi swore; never in his life did he meet someone as stubborn as her. Even his owned freaking orders and demands she threw it away. Akashi sighed again. He doesn't like nor want to admitting defeat but this girl was just headstrong. (He was turning into a softie now)
"Tetsumi, sit down." He instructed, eyes lingering at her back.
Kuroko came to a halt. She could feel his eyes on her back and didn't dare to turn around. She obliged on his command and sat at the corner of the bed. Akashi went to her. "You shouldn't run off like that."
"You were giving me such thing."
"That doesn't mean I didn't bring first-aid with ice in my hands." He reprimanded her. Akashi was no fool. He knew what to do (and bring) when someone sprained an ankle. The crutch was just for the upcoming what ifs. For example like, what if it's worst? And etc.
Akashi prepared a basin and filled it with water and ices. Kuroko put her legs and flinched as soon as it goes in. "It's cold."
"Of course it is." he said and dumped a blue hand towel inside. He, then, put it around her ankle. "Better?"
Kuroko gave him a timid nod. On the other hand, the redhead could not believe he was doing this. He hated becoming soft. He can't become like him. He wanted to be someone that was worth living. Not a mere puppet to live. "What did you do that made you sprained your ankle?"
"I was shocked when I first woke up. And I tried to leave by the veranda. I thought it wasn't an apartment or condo. So, I just went out and freaked out when I—"she was cut off.
"You were freaking out?" he repeated. Kuroko's face looked as if she had just told him her ultimate biggest secret.
"No—"
"Yes you were. And after you freaked out, you fell and hit the vase right?" he said, wrapping the hand towel on her leg. "You're scared of height." He concluded.
Great. Just great. One of Kuroko Tetsumi's secret had blown off just like that. And to think that Akashi—who was like a stranger to her—was the one who discovered it definitely didn't make her comfortable at the very least. Even Kagami didn't know about it. But then again, sooner or later, someone will find out about her acrophobia. Though, she still didn't want Akashi who knew it first.
"Didn't matter. I just want to know what happened yesterday." She brushed the topic off, and changed it which Akashi delightfully answered it. Akashi told her how he managed to pushed her forward in the naked of time and how her head got hit by the fire hydrant nearby. Hence that explained why she had large sterile gauze on her forehead. He also informed her that he brought her to his home and called a doctor to treat her wounds.
…
One thing Kuroko Tetsumi knew she would regret her whole life if the world were to end. And that is, to thank Akashi Seijuurou for saving her life from death. That is also the reason why, right now, she was literally kneeling right in front of said person. "Thank you so much for saving my life. I'm forever in dept to you. You don't know how sorry I am for how I treated you before. I hope you accept my so-called apology. I don't have enough money to repay you. Just what can I do to make you happy?"
As much as Akashi loved seeing someone beg for forgiveness from him, he could not portray Tetsumi doing it. "What can you do to make me happy?" he said. "Then be the assistant manager of Generation of Miracles." He continued. "That would make me happy."
"Okay." She didn't know by saying that one particular word; by partly agreeing on becoming the manager of MiraGen, could change her entire life.
Kuroko didn't know that the Generation of Miracles members were there in Akashi's house until he brought her in the living room. Aomine, Momoi, Kise, Midorima and Murasakibara were sitting on Akashi's luxury sofas, minding their own business, seeming absorb with their activity.
Kuroko didn't know why, but she felt happy.
No, really. She felt happy. And she didn't know why. Seeing all of the people she barely even knew (excluding Aomine) visited her. There was bubble of happiness inside her heart. Maybe . . . just maybe, this was a right choice after all. All I need to do is to move forward. Kuroko frowned, can she really move on? She had been doing that for a year but failed the moment she saw Akashi.
Akashi cleared his throat, successfully catching everyone's attention including Kuroko's. Momoi saw her and approached her, "Kuroko-san, are you okay? Dai-chan, Ki-chan and me were worried and panicked when Akashi-kun told us that you almost got hit by a truck."
"I'm feeling better now thanks to Akashi-san," Kuroko smiled and she could tell that Akashi was looking at her and she didn't care. "If he was not there to save me, I'd probably be in a coffin. And today's gonna be my funeral."
Momoi giggled at her joke. "You shouldn't have said it like that. You should continue living in this world. There are many things to do before we die!"
Kuroko smiled again. She was about to reply when Akashi's voice beat her. "Tetsumi will be our new manager assistant from today on." He crossed his arms and sat down, eyeing all of the members to see their reaction.
Silent
.

"EHHHHHH?! KUROKOCCHI/TETSU IS GOING TO BE OUR MANAGER FROM NOW ON?!" The sound from two pair of idiots echoed the entire house. Momoi looked excited and was squealing, Midorima fixed his glasses at the sudden news and Murasakibara stopped eating his chips and his gazed fell onto Kuroko who was fiddling her fingers together, standing awkwardly beside the intimidating redhead.
"Ryouta, Daiki, sit down." Akashi offered a sit to Kuroko and she sat beside him that shocked the hell out of Aomine, Kise, Midorima, Momoi and Murasakibara. Akashi offered a sit to her!
Kise and Aomine hastily sat back and were looking at Kuroko and Akashi eagerly as if some animal parade was going on. "Is it true Kurokocchi?" Kise chimed in.
"Yes." Kuroko fidgeted. She wasn't use being the center of attention. People usually didn't notice her after all. She saw at the corner of her eyes that Murasakibara had continued eating his chips again. "Please take care of me this year." Kuroko lowered her head in courteous and self-respect to her seniors.
Momoi hugged her into her bone-crushing hug. "I am soooo happy, Kuroko-san! You have no idea how much I longed for an assistant after all these years!"
Aomine rolled his eyes, "Watch it Satsuki, she's still recovering." He reminded. Momoi let go of her, "Are you alright Kuroko-san? I'm sorry if I hug too tight."
Kuroko tried covered the dizziness that was starting to emerge back. "No worries, Momoi-san," she gave her thumbs up, face expressionless, "I'm in perfect condition—" and Kuroko suddenly fainted that sent all five peoples into havoc panic.
"TETSU/KUROKOCCHI/KUROKO-SAN!"
…
