Hey everyone here is new chapter. Hope you like it. Hope that you like it.

Chapter 4 Please don't

I knew that closing my heart to everyone would have its consequences. I knew that I was the only way that I would not be devastated. I needed to do this for me and the team. I knew it was the right thing to do. But there is that one little voice in my heart and brain saying that if I do this that I cant go back. The only way for my heart to go back to normal would be for someone to spend the time to try and break them. I knew this but I have to do this for the good of the team. I knew that I would be hurting myself because I knew I was going to end up being cold to everyone. I am going to lose all my friends but I made that promise to Kagami. I have to keep the promise. I need to do this. I don't want to but what real choice do I have. I know that there will be no one willing to spend the time to break my walls. I will be alone forever. I wont have friends just my thoughts. At least I can keep my promise to myself along with my promise to Kagami.

And like that the Kuroko who shows no matter how little they were at the time locked away all emotions to where he will not show any emotions on the outside, but will feel them all on the inside. All the pain that he knows will happen when his friends leave him. At least he does not have to worry about his family. he does not have any. Another thing that no one knows about him. All the pain of knowing that no one will spend the time to try and get Kuroko back to normal.

I felt different. That is all I can describe it as. I know that I have emotions but I usually have more when I have my emperor eye out but now I know that I locked up my heart I know that I have an emotionless face and by looking around me I can see that Akashi is staring at me. I think he knows that something is off about me. I might be wrong about that. You know what I take that back that I know that it was just a trick of my eyes. Another thing I noticed is that I still have emotions on the inside but they are dialed down. I know that now I will be able to win for the team, Kagami, the GoM, and Akashi. So what if I have to set my emotions locked inside a safe in inside my head. I know that it will be worth it in the end. I know that Kagami will leave me as a friend, as will the team, and the GoM. Most people would think that this is way to far to go for just a basketball game. For me I feel that if I can male someone happy then it is worth it to have myself drown in my emotions that I will never express on the outside. It will be OK, I am used to be mostly emotionless. Everything will be fine. At least I hope so.

Normal pov

Kuroko kept repeating that in his head. He just wants someone to love him, but he now knows that he ruined his chances but doing this. Poor Kuroko is too selfless, but if you think about it at the same time his is too selfish. Akashi knew this better then anyone else. When Kuroko sealed his heart Akashi looked over to Kuroko and what he saw upset him. He knew what Kuroko did. It had happened before. When Kuroko was a child he did it when his mother and father died. Akashi knew this because he was the person to bring Kuroko back.

Flashback

In the first place Kuroko was a weird child, for lack of better words. He was always caring about others more then himself. He also did not have very many friends. He was shy, but no one knew that. He had barely a presence in the world. When Akashi first saw him, the only thing going on in his head was 'wow he is so cute!' and that was the first time that Kuroko got notice by someone who was not his parents. At the time little Kuroko did not know this. Akashi did not know that no one usually see Kuroko, and he only found out when he went up to Kuroko the next day.

Akashi walked up to Kuroko that day because he wanted to ask Kuroko why he never sat with anyone else during snack time and story time. When he got to him, he tapped on his head.

"Hello I have a question for you." Akashi said in a sweet voice. Even back then Akashi was scary so others were astound that Akashi was being nice to a student, but then when I they saw him they did not see Kuroko. Most of the people there thought that Akashi was talking to an imaginary friend. It made that others happy but also put off that Akashi would have an imaginary friend. The teachers decided that maybe he was on his way to being a more normal child. When Kuroko saw that a child walked up to him and touched his head he thought that it was just someone making a mistake and they were just trying to reach for the toy that he had in his hands. When he looked at the person he saw that the person was looking right at him and not through him, like everyone else in this place.

"Hello what would your question be?" Kuroko said trying to keep his excitement under check. Kuroko was truly happy for once because someone had finally talked to him. It also helped that the boy was lonely. No one cared about him. Maybe his grandmother who now watched him after his parents died. Kuroko had moved in with his grandmother and into a room that felt cold. The temperature of the room was fine, but it was devoid of love that his furthermore home had held. Kuroko could not blame his grandmother she had just lost her husband a week before his mother and father had died. Kuroko was staying with his only living grandmother that is on his father's side of the family. Now both Kuroko and his grandmother are depressed about their family passing on to the next world.

Kuroko now looks at someone and he feels hope that someone will help him from the prison that he put all his emotions into.

"My question is, why do you never play with any of the other kids? Also why do you look really sad in your eyes but on the outside you look emotionally dead." Akashi asked and when he did everyone around him were shocked that he would make an imaginary friend look like they were emotionally dead to the world. It shocked Kuroko as well because he was still shocked that this boy could see him and then to add onto it this boy seemed to know how he really felt and all he did was look at him. Before Kuroko knew what was going on he started to cry.

Everyone in the school were startled when they suddenly saw this cute little blue haired boy crying his eyes out.

"I d-dont play w-with the o-other children be-because they cant see me." Kuroko said while he was trying to clam down. It took him about ten minutes and a very confused Akashi holding the crying boy for him to clam down.

"Also I was like that because my mommy and daddy died and no one talks to me anymore." Kuroko said while he started to cry again.

Akashi looked at the boy and he knew that he would marry him one day. Who cared if he was a boy, they would be together and he would not let anyone get in their way.

While Akashi was having those thoughts Kuroko did not realize it yet but he was starting to fall for Akashi right than and there.

End of flashback

Akashi knew that this time would probably be harder then just talking to him. Akashi made a Promise to himself that he would not give up on Kuroko no matter what happened.
Akashi knew all this just by looking at Kuroko. Nothing had changed. His feelings are still on the inside. A normal person would not be able to see his emotions but if you look in his eyes then you can see then clear as day.

The only thing on Akashi's mind at that moment became : Kuroko I will get your heart unlocked and it will be mine.

OK I know I spend an entire chapter on drama but I hoped that it was worth it. Hopefully I will put action in the next chapter. Right now I am not going to make any promises.

Please tell me what you think
