"Akashi!"

Akashi snapped out and caught the ball that almost hit his face.

"Are you alright? Akashi-kun?" Kuroko who passed the ball was worried. "I'm sorry, I didn't.."

"It's okay Kuroko, I was the one who's not focused.." Akashi sighed. "Sorry, Midorima.."

"Geez, today's practice sucks! Even Kise didn't show up!" Aomine seated himself on the court.

"I wonder if Kise-kun's alright.." Kuroko sighed.

"You might wanna end today's practice, Akashi.." Midorima said. "Everyone has been unfocused and it's useless to practice like this. And we don't have any match near this period-nanodayo"

"You're right.." Akashi nodded.

"It's not like you to lose focus-nanodayo" Midorima commented.

How to stay focus after being engaged with the girl that the whole team was looking for?!


Then the practice was called off so Akashi got home sooner and found Yuuka was in his house with her mom.

"Ara, Seijuurou-kun.. you're home sooner, was the practice canceled?" Akashi's mom welcomed him.

Hearing practice made Yuuka flinch.

"Yeah, it was called off.." Akashi answered.

"Just a few days ago, Yuuka was also wearing Teiko's uniform, ne.. It was such a waste, but I think I'll find another fitting school for her.." Yuuka's mom said.

"What? Aren't I supposed to.." Yuuka was confused with her mom.

"No, honey.. if you already have a knight here, why running away?" Yuuka's mom giggled. "Not to mention, a handsome knight.."

"Araa.. Kitagawa-san, you're being too kind.." Akashi's mom laughed. "Did you hear that, Seijuurou-kun?"

"Of course.. that would be my pleasure to protect a beautiful princess like Yuuka-chan.." Akashi faked a smile.

Yuuka was staring at him in confusion, in front of her was definitely not Akashi Seijuuroi she knew. The spartan cold hearted Akashi seijuuroi would never pick up some cheeky lines like that!

"Yuuka.. isn't it romantic.." Yuuka's mom patted her shoulder, she's acting like she's the one who was flirted by Akashi and not Yuuka.

"Seijuurou, why don't you bring Yuuka to your room and have some private talk?" Akashi's mom suggested which almost made Akashi chocked his tea.

"Mo.. Mother.." Akashi stared at his mother unbelievingly. What kind of mother suggesting his son to bring a girl who was engaged to him just the day before to his room?!

"Ye.. Yes! I would love to see what Seijuurou-kun's room is like.." Yuuka stood up and glared at Akashi.

Akashi sighed. Women these days...


"Hee.. Your room is spacious and clean.." Yuuka looked around.

"What do you expect?" Akashi closed the door and opened his blazer. "Just seated yourself wherever.."

"Well, Daiki's room is a mess, and full of basketball's posters.." Yuuka giggled.

"You've been to Aomine's room?" there was a slight of unpleasant voice but Yuuka didn't notice it.

"Yeah, but.. It's not what you think!" Yuuka just noticed how her words could have a different meaning. "I was with Satsuki-chan too, it was when I tried to run away from home!"

"So.. what do you want in my room?" Akashi asked, unbuttoning his shirt. Then a little naughty thoughts came by. He continued unbuttoning his shirt and leaned closer to Yuuka.

"Wha.. What are you doing?" Yuuka was startled by the sudden face appearing in front of her.

"Well, you're the one asking me to bring you to my room?" Akashi took some stray of her blonde hair. Yuuka walked back, but her leg hit the bed and she fell on it. She immediately seated herself, but Akashi played with her collar. "Quite bold, aren't you.."

"Wa.. Wait.. Seijuurou.." Yuuka blushed. "I just want to talk.."

"Only talking? Isn't it boring?" Akashi smirked. "We're engaged now, aren't we.."

"Isn't that just what our parents agreed on!" Yuuka keep backing away until her back touched the wall. Akashi managed to trapped her between his arms, leaving no space to escape.

"Do you have any objections about that?" Akashi's face was leaning closer.

"I.. Sei.. wai.." Yuuka clenched her teeth and closed her eyes.

After a while..

"Pftt.."

Yuuka opened her eyes and found Akashi was trying to keep his voice down with his laughter.

"Se.. Seijuurou!" Yuuka blushed. "You... geez! You spartan, idiot! Bakka!" Yuuka threw pillows at him and Akashi was still laughing.

"Your face was hillarious!" Akashi commented between his laughter.

"Shut up!" Yuuka blushed.

"So, what are we gonna talk about?" Akashi asked.

"About this engagement! Don't you have any objections?" Yuuka asked.

"Not that I don't have, but.. Sooner or later aren't we gonna marry the person who our parents pick? Well, we can indeed running away from that now, but once you reach the age, you're gonna marry that person anyway, so it's better just do as they want us to. It's troublesome to raise objections against my parents anyway, and it'll end up with the same results.." Akashi answered.

"But, my mom promised me to never.."

"And now, did she keep your promise? In the you're engaged to me.." Akashi said as he stood up and opened his closet. "This is the world we're born into.."

"But.. I'm not born.. into this kind of world, I'm pulled into this, along with my mom.." Yuuka looked down.

"What do you mean?" Akashi turned around.

"Don't you know? My name was Kise Yuuka before our parents divorced 9 years ago, and Ryouta is my twin older brother" Yuuka looked up.

"I know that you and Kise were relatives or whatever, but I never heard about the divorce thing.." Akashi then, continued changing his clothes.

"My mom divorced and I chose to follow my mom, while Ryouta chose to stay with dad, it was actually a deal Ryouta and I made so that our parents won't be lonely. And we move to America, 2 years later mom was married and here I was.." Yuuka sighed with a smile.

"You and Kise don't have the same fave.." Akashi then examined her face. "Only the color of the hair and your eyes are the same.."

"Yeah, everyone used to say the same thing.." Yuuka giggled. "So, back to the topic, how can you accept that way of living so easily?"

"I don't know.. Right now I don't want to do anything against those, it doesn't give me anything in exchange, in fact it may take all the things I had now.. Including my freedom in school.." Akashi seated himself after he's done changing. "I never had freedom during my childhood, and I when I entered basketball during middle school, I finally found something that I can use to gain my freedom. And it's also something that I like. Playing basketball in matches gives topics that my parents can be proud of, and they gave me freedom for practices.."

"I know it well.. that feelings.." Yuuka replied. "I was also like you, when I got into this family, all of my freedoms were taken, I can't even play the basket ball that I love so much. So, at least now, you can have your freedom.."

"Seijuurou-sama.. the meal is ready.."

"Anyway, let's get down first.." Akashi got up.

"Being so lovey dovey aren't you.." Akashi's father grinned.

"They're getting along very well.." Yuuka's stepfather also grinned.

"Ara, ara.. I might have a grandchild soon enough.." Akashi's mother giggled.

Yuuka blushed hearing that, oi, oi.. wasn't that too soon?!

"Mother, you're embarrassing Yuuka.." Akashi chuckled.

Yuuka glared at how easy for Akashi to handle the joke.

"You two should spend more time together, it pleases us just to see how you to getting along.." Akashi's father smiled. "For us, being able to see our children gets together brings so much happiness.."

"Of course, it would be my pleasure to get along with a lady like Yuuka.." Akashi made another fake smiles that made Yuuka shivering. "I just found out that Yuuka is interested in sports.."

"Ara, ara.. what kind of sports?" Akashi's mother asked.

"Er.. like.. basketball maybe?" Yuuka answered.

"Then, Seijuurou, you should teach her some moves.." Akashi's father chuckled.

"But, for a girl, basketball is.." Yuuka's mom sounded troubled.

"Isn't it fine for girls to play too? And I really want to share one of my hobby with Yuuka.." Akashi smiled like an angle.

"Well.. if you say so.." Yuuka's mom forced a laugh.

Yuuka turned to Akashi with a thank-you-so-much-smile, and once that golden eyes met with his red eyes, he immediately looked away. His heart suddenly went wild and his face turned red.

What.. What the hell..
