AN : Akage-Hiba18, I'm glad you like my stories. And I'm glad to find more people who like allxAkashi, especially AoAKa. I love your ideas, and I'm sorry I don't get to write about it in this chapter, but I definitely will! Don't know when yet but that's a really good idea and I love it~ Thank you my dear :D
Repeated loud banging on the door pulls the three seemingly-dead-teens out from their dreamlands. The action is too sudden to the three's likings it gives them minor headaches. The door is soon opened not too gently, the knob hits the wall in result, making another loud noise.
"What the hell is going on!? Is there an earthquake or something!?" Bluenet jolts up to a sitting position, his short hair seems electrified as well as it points to no other direction but upward.
"You three are like dead corpses-ssu! No matter how loud we yelled and knocked on your door, you guys still wouldn't wake up!"
"Corpses are dead bodies, you dumbass!"
"Wow, who died?" Split-eyebrows teen is struggling to untangle himself from the barrier he made last night, it takes him a while to free himself from the evil blanket.
"Did you two sleep in the same bed?" The blond tilts his head slightly, he is well aware of the two not getting along with each other.
"So there's no earthquake? Geez." He isn't pleased to be waken up by loud noises, it puts him in a grumpy mood.
"What did you guys say about someone dying?" Kagami has yet to figure out how to untangle the last bit of blanket that is wrapping his waist.
"Why are you all so loud early in the morning?" Akashi sits up while holding his head and groaning lowly, then coughs a couple times. "I think the smoke is still in my body." He ends his sentence with another cough.
"Akashicchi! What smoke in your body? Wait, where were you guys yesterday anyway? Did you have a barbecue party without us!?"
"I wish. We were working our ass off yester-" Aomine lets out a big yawn before finishing his sentence, he then scratches his head lazily, and lays back down while muttering 'night'.
"It's eleven thirty already! We're all going outside today-ssu."
The bluenet only mumbles 'am good' in response.
Kagami flops back down after freeing himself from the blanket, he chooses to give up to find out what's going on. He is also not in the mood to spend a day outside in the blazing sun after what he went through the day before.
Akashi's answer, however, is a wake up call for the two sleepy lazy bums as they immediately shoot out of the bed and even race to the bathroom to get ready.
When the two are asked what made them change their minds they simply answer "like hell I'm going to stay in the house with him". The blond nods thinking it is a good point and erases his curiosity about their sudden attachment to Akashi.
A short ten minutes has passed and it hasn't been quite enjoyable and peaceful as Aomine doesn't stop complaining.
"Why the hell are we walking outside in this weather anyway?"
"We're going to the game arcade, Aomine-kun." Like shadow and light, Kuroko is walking closely next to Aomine, much to Kagami's irritation because he basically has no one to walk with, asides from the creepy yet alluring redhead, who is strangely staying behind the group, away from his usual companions; sweet tooth giant and oha-asa freak.
"Why game arcade? We've come this far to the beach and we're not even gonna go there?"
"No, you and I are going to the game arcade. Everyone else is going swimming, I guess."
"Hah!? Just us two?" The tanned blunet takes a quick glance at Akashi behind him, by pretending to scratch his head, or at least that's what it looks like to Kagami. Kagami cheers inwardly knowing that he won't get in his way to... he has to stop and wonder what he's trying to accomplish. There is no way he will admit, even to himself, that he's pretty much trying to get to know the redhead a little bit better, or to just spend time with him.
"I really need your help, Aomine-kun. If you already have plans, then I guess-"
"No, it's fine. Besides, it's really rare of you to ask for favors, Tetsu. So I guess it's gotta be important, right?"
Kuroko nods in response, it piques even Kagami's interest. He wonders what is this important thing that Kuroko has to ask for Aomine's help. As much as he doesn't like the fact that Kuroko thinks Aomine is more suited for the job than he is, he can't really complain if it means he's the one who gets to spend time with Akashi.
Kagami 1, Aomine 0
Kagami smirks to himself confidently. Now he just has to think up of something to not let the rest of the group interfere with his plan.
"Gah! What the hell am I thinking about!?" He shakes his head hard to get rid of another strange thought of his, that he's slowly starting to accept more and more easily.
He can't believe Aomine challenged him to anything other than a basketball one-on-one. Of all other things Aomine can challenge him to, and of all people Aomine can have a crush on, it has to be that one person Kagami can't take his eyes off of, and can't stop thinking about.
This person, this evil Akashi Seijuro person, may or may not be his first love - he has to stop and slam his head on the hot sand for a short moment before Kise stops him by pulling him hard, with a little help from Murasakibara by throwing a bucket to his head; he could've splashed him with the water in the bucket, but no, he had to throw the bucket too.
He has never been bothered by such a trivial thing like love, but this time it matters, it's apparently a pretty big deal, probably due to some mysterious love potion that emits from the petite redhead's body because there is no way he's attracted to him this much if it's not because of that.
"Hey, Akashi." No, wait. What the hell am I trying to say to him? Stupid mouth for talking without my permission.
"What is it?"
Shoot, he heard me. Of course he heard me, he's right next to me for godsake. "Mind to, um, come with me for like, I don't know, an hour or so?" He looks around to search any sort of ropes to hang himself later.
"Why? Do you also need my help with something?"
"Y-Yeah. There's a mini shogi competition nearby. I- I thought you might like it, but it's no big deal if you don't wanna participate or anything, you know."
"Hm. A mini shogi competition, huh. What's the prize, I wonder? Is it something you desire?"
The two of them have stopped walking, and without the rest realizing, they have lost sight of each other. Just exactly how Kagami wanted.
"Sorry, I was kinda lying. There aren't any shogi competitions."
"I know."
"How-" He knows he shouldn't be surprised Akashi found out he was lying, but the thing with Akashi is he never ceases to creep him out. "Never mind."
"Something is bothering you, Kagami. You do need my help, don't you?"
Hell no, I don't. Not from you at least, since you're the freaking problem and all. "I just need someone who isn't loud, annoying, and weird. That eliminates everyone, but you. Don't get me wrong, you're still hella weird and annoying, but-"
"You're weird, annoying, and loud as well. Just move on, will you."
"Geez, you really are annoying, aren't you?"
They're walking aimlessly around the beach, looking for nothing in particular. Kagami searches for some place that catches his eyes, then he hears a low snicker.
"What?" Kagami snaps. How dare this guy laugh at him, while knowing he's got a problem.
"I find it interesting that you would ask for my company."
"I told you you're the least worst out of the group!"
"Hn."
"You think I'm lying? Talk more, will ya?"
"Why should I?"
"So people know what you're thinking, sheesh."
"Oh, you want to know what I'm thinking?
"W-Why would I?"
"Let's get something to eat."
"Huh? I mean yeah, sure." He quickly replaces his surprise expression with a straight face and shrugs indifferently. He can't believe Akashi just practically asked him to go on a date with him. It is now the perfect time to impress him and Aomine will be out of-
His thought was abruptly stopped by a painful blow to his nose.
"Damn it, what was that!?"
"You ran into a pole."
"Hah, seriously!?" So uncool, man, so uncool!
"Anyway, you're okay with non-American foods? I couldn't find any and we better stop walking before you injure yourself."
"Are you mocking me!?"
"Not really, I'm a bit worried as well."
How he wish he had a recorder with him and let Aomine listen to it. He follows Akashi into a random restaurant and his stomach soon growls, he forgot how hungry he was until he smells delicious sizzling ribs the waiter is carrying right next to him.
Like damn really though I would love sizzling ribs right now.
Uhm, don't hesitate to review~
Apology for Aomine's absence in this chapter
