Revelation

Why oh why tell me why not me

Why oh why we were meant to be

Baby I know I could be all you need

Why oh why oh why

I wanna love you

If you only knew how much I love you

So why not me

-Enrique Iglesias (Why not me?)

"Why the hell are you wearing my shirt?" Akashi snarled at Akira as soon as he saw her, "Take it off and wear something else, people will get weird ideas if they saw you" Akashi said and lets out his hand, Akira rolled her eyes before she takes off the shirt and gives it to Akashi.

"I'm your fiancée anyways, so what do you care?" Akira said.

"I won't marry you, change into your clothes they're already dry by now" Akashi said, then decided to head to his room, he didn't want to deal with her now, his head is already spinning. Suddenly she grabbed him by his arm.

Akashi glared at her as soon as she makes contact "Do you think it's that easy? What if I tell you that your father doesn't want you to be with him?"

"Do you think I didn't know that" Akashi told her.

Akira just smirked "You can never win against him"

"Do you think I would lose to him?"

"Don't be naïve Seijurou, your powerless against him" Akashi didn't answer and shrugs her off, then she grabs him again, Akashi glared at her, but she didn't care, then she said "Choose me" Akashi just looks at her blankly and didn't say anything and then she continued "If you choose me, you would never have to go through this"

"You're drunk, go home" Akashi said.

"Why? Why does it have to be him?" she asked him.

"You're just tired Akira, go home"

"I love you Seijurou" she said as she hugs Akashi from his back "Please love me too" she cried "I'll do everything just…love me"

"I'm sorry" Akashi said "I can't do that, Go home Akira you're just drunk, close the door when you leave" Akashi shrugs her hand off and went inside his room. Akira just stands there, fighting the urge to cry she wipe the tears that's on her eyes. It was always been this way, she's always pleading for Akashi's love, always chasing him but never reaching. That's why he hates Kuroko so much, he didn't do anything yet he caught Akashi's attention, he didn't ask for it but Akashi loved him.

He has everything she ever wanted that's why she hated him so much.

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+

Ogiwara watch glimpse of Tetsuya as he is driving towards the hospital, it really pissed him off that he left without saying anything and on top of that he had just taken a test, a bone marrow test. What the hell is he thinking? He thought to himself. There's a limit to how much a person can be stupid and it seems Tetsuya doesn't have that when it comes to Akashi, that's what pissed him even more. That guy just hurt him and is avoiding him, yet Tetsuya continue to chase after him.

He must have really loved him so much, Ogiwara thought, he's jealous at the thought and ask himself why it can't be him. If he were the one that Tetsuya loves, he would never hurt him, ever. He knows the pain that Tetsuya had gone through, how he have suffered, and thinking all of those stuff he doesn't deserve to be treated like this.

He rushed to the hospital and immediately brings him to the emergency room. The doctors asked him for several of question to which he answered directly. After thirty minutes the doctors said that he is fine and said he can transfer him to his room, Ogiwara breathe a relief sigh as soon as he knew nothing is wrong with him. However, Ogiwara knew that the real problem is up ahead, the result of his bone marrow test is yet to come. Making sure that Tetsuya is in a deep sleep, he went out from his room and goes to the doctor who took the test.

"Ogiwara-sensei" the doctor said.

"Sensei is the result done?" he asked.

"Kuroko-san?" the doctor asked.

"Yeah"

"Ah, well it's done"

"So how is it?" Ogiwara asked as he sits beside the doctor, he felt quite nervous for the result, he had a bad feeling about it.

"I must say it's not looking well" the doctor started, when Ogiwara heard that he knew that his gut is right.

"What do you mean?"

"The result is positive; it's a non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a T-cell lymphoma" the doctor answered, when Ogiwara heard that he felt a sudden heaviness inside his chest. Then thoughts of Tetsuya suffering from the disease came back into his mind.

"It's a malignant lymphoma" Ogiwara said, knowing that that type of lymphoma could kill anyone if it's not treated.

"Yes" the doctor affirmed.

"No way" Ogiwara mumbled "It can't be"

"Is he an important friend to you?" the doctor asked.

"Yeah"

"Don't worry we can cure it if we treat it early"

"Sensei, please do everything you can, he…he can't die"

"I understand, don't worry we'll do everything we can and don't think negative things, he can survive it" the doctor said. He watched Ogiwara who seems to be in a deep thought, and then he asked him "So, will you be the one to tell him?"

"Huh?"

"You want to be the one who tells him about the result?" when the doctor said that Ogiwara just stress at him weighing the options inside his head, and as soon as he made up his mind he nodded his head.

He didn't know how he did it but he reached back towards Tetsuya's room, Tetsuya is still sleeping soundly when he got there. He sits beside him and he held his hand, it's still cold like before, much more colder than before that it scared him, he didn't want to lose Tetsuya, he won't let it happen.

He'll do everything to save him.

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+

When Ogiwara arrived at Tetsuya's room, he saw that he is awake, he wanted to yell at him for acting so stupid however as he saw him staring blankly in the space with a sad expression in his usually blank eyes, he didn't have the urge to be mad at him.

"Earth to Tetsu" he called to him, when Tetsuya noticed him he was slightly shock.

"You're here Shige-kun" he said quietly.

"Is something wrong Tetsu?"

"No, nothing really"

"I knew it, something happen on that building right?"

Tetsuya didn't answer instead he continued to stare at the blank space, Ogiwara just sigh, he knew he couldn't get through him, that's why he told him "You're result is here", when he said that Tetsuya's attention turned to him.

When Tetsuya heard that suddenly he felt so nervous "It is?"

"Yeah"

"What did it say?" Tetsuya asked with a worried expression, when he did Ogiwara felt like he couldn't speak. He must be stupid to think that he could tell Tetsuya that his illness came back without his emotions affecting it. However as those pale blue eyes stared at him, he didn't have a choice.

"It's as we suspect it…It came back, and unlike before, it's a malignant lymphoma" When Tetsuya heard that he thought he couldn't breathe, there's a heavy weight in his chest that he couldn't take, he fought the urge to cry. Its back, he thought, I'm going to go through that pain again "Are you aright Tetsu?"

"Will I live?" he suddenly asked.

"Tetsuya"

"How long?" he asked.

"Don't be so negative, we can cure it, like what happened before, we can cure it if we treat it fast" Tetsuya didn't say anything "Tetsuya" Ogiwara didn't know what Tetsuya is thinking right now, but he knows he's worried. He had experienced it before and it's definitely not a good one.

Tetsuya couldn't imagine that he would go through it again, thinking about the treatment that he had gone through; Tetsuya didn't like it at the least.

"I want to be alone Shige-kun" he said to him, Ogiwara looks at him worriedly.

"Tetsu"

"Can you please give me some time?"

Ogiwara just sigh and said "Fine, don't do anything stupid again" he said, Tetsuya just nodded.

When Ogiwara left, Tetsuya looks at his left hand and then he takes the ring off, then suddenly tears were flowing from his eyes as he remember the promise he made to Seijurou when they were at the beach and the times they spent together. It felt like a dream, a dream that was shattered in the instant of reality. He thought that everything's going to be fine, that he won't have this sickness again, he thought he might spend a long time with Akashi, that this time they might grow old together and lived a happily ever after. Yet, reality is a harsh thing, his sickness came back, breaking the dreams he thought would come true.

He has thought that this time would be different however it is not. It's like a repetition of the past, only worse. Akashi had abandoned him, he had left him in the cold and is with someone else and despite knowing that, he clings onto him, he still loves him deeply and he wants him to come back to him.

"Seijurou" he said Akashi's name, he wanted to hold onto him now, he wanted to spend this time with him now, he wanted to share the pain inside him, yet he know he wouldn't he couldn't, he's with someone right now. "Seijurou" he cried again as he remembers the memories of the two of them for the past few days. "SEIJUROU! SEIJUROU!" he cried his name over and over again, he can't contain the sadness that he felt. His chest hurts a lot and there's nothing for him to hold on to. He felt so pathetic; he kept calling someone's name that already belongs to someone else. All he could do is cry.

Tears well up in his eyes and his voice is cracking, yet he kept calling his name over and over again. He just loves him so much.

He wanted to give up; however something deep inside him didn't want to, he keeps on hoping the Akashi will come back to him. Though it may seem small but he wanted to believe, he wanted to believe that he'll come back to him. He wanted to believe that Akashi would never leave him.

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.

Akashi woke up with a throbbing headache, the alcohol is taking an effect on his body and he didn't feel like he wanted to go to his office. Unfortunately he have to, there's still a lot of things he have to deal with right now and being absent won't do any good. He made his way to his office as people greet him. When he got into his office, his secretary reminded him that Midorima had called countless of times and that he will meet him today. Akashi just nods off his head and started to read the files that were on his table.

His headache is still throbbing and he had asked his secretary to make him some coffee. As he waited, his mind were on his thoughts about what happened yesterday, he have everything planned out yet it didn't happen, in the end the two of them got into a mess and even if wanted to made up with Tetsuya, he couldn't face him after what he did. He still hated himself after what he did, he takes out his phone if Tetsuya had called him and felt disappointed as he notice that he didn't.

He should apologize, it's the right thing to do, and running away won't do any good. He looks at Tetsuya's number and decides to call him but as he tried to press the call button he felt his body froze. Somehow he didn't know what to do, what if Tetsuya wouldn't answer, what if Tetsuya ignored his call, what if he answers and tells him he hates him.

Akashi couldn't take the latter but he knows that doing nothing won't do any good.

He tried to press the button but his secretary came in "Sir, here's your coffee"

"Thanks" he said, and then when the secretary disappeared to the door his attention went back to his phone. He inhaled deeply and pressed the call button, he heard the other line ring his heart pounding as the other lien rings. He was about to end the call when Tetsuya pick up. He was about to say something when the other line speaks "Hello", Akashi's brows furrowed as he heard the voice, it was not Tetsuya rather than it is someone whom he didn't want to deal with right now.

"Why do you have Tetsuya's phone?" he ask in a cold voice.

"Why does it bother you" Ogiwara said, not wanting to deal with him, he turns off the call.

Akashi's pissed and his head is throbbing, what worse could happen to him right today. Just thinking about it makes his head ache; he sips the coffee and rested his back.

He heard a knock and his secretary came in "What is it?" he asked her.

"Midorima-san wants to see you"

"Let him come in"

"Yes sir" the secretary disappeared and after a few seconds Midorima came in.

"Akashi"

"Shintarou, why are you here so early in the morning" Akashi asked as soon as the greenhead came in.

"I have called you several times yesterday but you didn't answer" Midorima said.

"I'm sorry about that. What do you want to tell me? Is something wrong?" he asked.

"Well it's about Kuroko" When Akashi heard Tetsuya's name, it piqued his interest "Why what about Tetsuya?"

"I thought you might've want to see this, Here" Midorima handed Akashi some papers, Akashi reads it and when he did, he felt like he couldn't accept what was written on the paper that's why he reads it over and over again, when he was done, he looks at Midorima and asked "What's the meaning of this?"

"It's what you think it is. That's the records I have found, it's about ten years ago, I'm not sure but it might be a reason for his disappearance since he's also referred to one of the hospital in America, and this" Midorima handed Akashi another one again "That one just came in yesterday" when Akashi reads it, suddenly he felt like he was punched in the gut. On both paper, it is stated that Tetsuya is diagnosed with a disease called Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

"It can't be" he said not wanting to accept the truth as he reads the word 'Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma' over and over again.

"It's what it is Akashi, when I called to the hospital he was referred to, they have told me that they have a patient name Tetsuya Kuroko and that he was fully cured, and that file that came in yesterday says that his lymphoma came back"

"What made you do this?" Akashi asked,.

"I saw his name on one of the doors in the hospital, I didn't believe it at first but when I checked it, it really is him. I asked why he is admitted and they told me that he had shown symptoms of lymphoma" Midorima explained.

"Wait, when did you see him?" he asked, he didn't remember Tetsuya was rushed in a hospital.

"Three days ago" Midorima replied.

When Akashi heard that he slumped back on his chair, he remember asking Tetsuya why he didn't answer his calls to which that Ogiwara guy butt in, he could tell that they're lying and that they were hiding something from him. But to think that Tetsuya was hospitalized and that he is diagnosed for a lymphoma, there's one question that's been running on his mind, why didn't he tell him?

"Are you okay Akashi?" Midorima asked. Without saying anything, Akashi grabs his coat and went out of his office, his secretary asked him where he is going, he didn't answer and instead told her to cancel all of his appointments, screw all of that, he thought. Tetsuya is the most important, he must be suffering, though he may not know a lot about that sickness but there's one thing for sure, Tetsuya might be dying.

He rushed into his car and drive off towards the hospital, he take the route where there is no traffic. When he reached the hospital, he immediately went to the reception desk.

"What room is Tetsuya Kuroko?"

"Wait for a minute sir" the nurse said, Akashi patiently waited as the nurse checked the computer for records, "He's in room 114" without saying he immediately rushed to the room.

As soon as he got there, he just stared at the name plate outside the room "TETSUYA KUROKO", he felt heaviness inside his chest as he saw Tetsuya's name on that door. He just grabbed the doorknob, however he got scared to open it, he didn't know what sight Tetsuya will be and he can't bear to see him sick and dying.

Akashi turns the knob and went inside the room, and as soon as he got there he saw Tetsuya lying on the hospital bed and he seems to be asleep. When he saw him, he felt like his heart is broken, Tetsuya became a lot paler than before and as soon as he touched his hand, it was colder than before. As he watched his wrist there's still a slight bruise in them to which reminded him of what he did to him, even his lips has an angry red mark on it, and as he remembers what he did, he have loathed himself even more.

He sits on the bed beside Tetsuya, and held onto his hand and brushed away the blue locks that were on his forehead. As he watched him sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, he felt an unsettling feeling inside his chest. He felt like Tetsuya would go away any time now, he felt like he's going to disappear and that scared him.

There are a lot of things that happened between them and now this is the worse, Tetsuya might die, no, he won't let it. He won't let Tetsuya die, no matter what happens he would never let him die.

Tetsuya felt familiar warmth wrapped around his hands, he flutter his eyes open as he felt that warmth and when he did, he saw a flash of red. Tetsuya blinked again and again making sure that he's not mistaken but no matter how many times he did, he saw the redhead that he loves more than anyone else.

"Se-Seijurou-kun?" he mumbled, he couldn't believe that Akashi is in front of him, no, this must be a dream, Seijurou hates me, he thought.

"Tetsuya" he heard him say, he really couldn't mistake that voice from a dream, when Tetsuya thought he wasn't dreaming, his body reacted without thinking and he immediately hugged Akashi tightly.

"You're here Seijurou-kun" he said in a disbelieving tone "You're here" he said as his voice shaking, Akashi felt Tetsuya's hands were shaking too "You're here"

"Yes, I'm here" he said.

"I'm sorry" he heard Tetsuya said "I wasn't cheating on you, I didn't plan on doing it…forgive me Seijurou-kun" he begged him, Akashi sighed and said "Tetsuya you should not apologize, I'm the one at fault, you did nothing wrong"

"Please forgive me…please don't hate me Seijurou-kun…I don't want you to hate me" Tetsuya cried, not listening to Akashi.

"Tetsuya"

"Please don't marry her" he heard him say "I'll do everything you want…just…don't marry her…." Tetsuya cried as tears flowing out from his eyes, Akashi heard him beg over and over again.

"Tetsuya, I've told-"

"Choose me Seijurou-kun please…please choose me…please leave her…I…I…please…" Akashi just let Tetsuya cried on his shoulder, he also held him tight. After a few minutes he felt that Tetsuya stopped crying and when he did, he pulls away from him "Have you calmed down?" he asked him, he just nods.

"You should rest"

"How did you know I am here?" Tetsuya asked, as he thought that Akashi probably knows.

"You don't have to know. Right now you should rest"

"Please stay a while longer… I don't want you to go" he said, Akashi just smiled then he said "Okay, but you should go to sleep"

"I don't want to"

"And why is that?"

"I want to be with you"

Akashi smiled, and then he said "You seem docile today"

"Why? Is it bad?"

"Yeah it is"

"And why is that so"

"Nothing, nothing you need to know"

Suddenly Akashi caught another glimpse of Tetsuya's bruised wrist, then he held it gently, Tetsuya noticed it and said "It's fine Seijurou-kun"

"No its not. I…I hurt you"

Tetsuya held Akashi cheeks and faced him "I love you, no matter what you do…I would never hate you" Tetsuya give Akashi a chaste kiss on the lips then he smiled "Let's just forget about it"

"Fair enough, lie down Tetsuya, you should rest" Akashi said, Tetsuya just nod and lies on his back. Akashi holds Tetsuya's hand then he heard him say "I love you Tetsuya, that's why you should get better okay?"

"Yeah" Tetsuya nods.

Akashi just watched Tetsuya, as he looks really close Tetsuya seemed tired and his complexion is really out of it, he wanted to ask him the questions that he wanted Tetsuya to answer, he wanted to know why he really left ten years ago, was it because of his sickness that he left or there is another reason why he left or it might be a combination of the both. Akashi wanted to ask him but he knows that Tetsuya wouldn't answer him that's why he wanted to be patient; he'll wait for the right time.

Tetsuya slowly drifted back to sleep and Akashi saw his face relaxed, when he saw Tetsuya desperately cling to him like that he felt so happy. To know that Tetsuya didn't hate him and that he's also sacred to lose him, he felt so happy and contented.

As he watched him sleep, he felt his phone ring and when he opens it, he saw Midorima's name flashed on the screen. He sighed and just answers it, he must thank him after what he had done, and after all he deserves it. He let go of Tetsuya's hand and go outside the room.

"Hello"

"Akashi" he heard Shintarou.

"Why did you call Shintarou?"

"Well I have forgot one more thing and this seems to be the important one"

"Well what is it?"

"It's about Tetsuya and also your father"

"What is it?"

"Well I forgot to say to you that before Tetsuya was brought to the hospital to, he collapsed on a train station that came from Kyoto" Akashi was shocked to know that Tetsuya came from Kyoto; he wonders why he didn't let him know.

"What? What's he doing there?" he asked.

"I don't know"

"When was it?"

"Four days ago" when Akashi remembered it, it was the time that Tetsuya had stopped calling him.

"Akashi, are you still there?"

"Yeah"

"Then what about my father?"

"Well I didn't really know the details but ten years ago, when you were hospitalized, I saw your father talking to Tetsuya" when Akashi heard that he felt everything stopped "Well at first I though that it might be a coincidence that they met at that time but it doesn't seem like it's the first time that they meet, since it may seem that they both recognized each other. That's why I believe that your father heave something to do about Tetsuya's disappearance" when he heard Midorima said that he thought to himself that it all made sense.

At that time he had given everything up for Tetsuya and his father greatly opposes it, if his father were to meet Tetsuya and corner him, Tetsuya would probably be pressured into leaving him. Akashi cursed, he have his doubts about his father might interfere with his relationship with Tetsuya but he didn't heed it.

"Thanks Shintarou"

"It's nothing" and with that he hung up.

Akashi should have known his father have something to do with this, he went back inside the room and check Tetsuya if he's asleep, when he seems so, Akashi went out. There's only one place in his mind where he will go, and this time he won't let that old man have his ways anymore.

+.+.+.=.+.=.=+.=.=.=.+.=+.+.+

Ogiwara just watched as he saw Akashi went out of Tetsuya's room, he was worried as he got out since he had this aura that he's ready to kill someone that's why he immediately rushed inside Tetsuya's room as soon as Akashi left.. He felt relieved as he saw Tetsuya sleeping soundly on his room and unlike before, he seems to become a bit more relaxed.

Ogiwara felt a pang of jealousy inside his chest; he knows that its Akashi's doing. They have probably made up and that's what made Tetsuya relieved, he seemed stress free for now.

He heard the door opened and when he turned around Ogiwara beamed "Kuroko-san" he said as he saw the older teal head.

"Shigehiro"

"You came"

"Of course I am, how's Tetsu?"

"He's fine" he said.

Hikaru Kuroko went to his son's side, he sighed at the sight of his Tetsuya, he didn't want to see him in a hospital bed again, and he didn't want Tetsuya to go through that pain again. "So what are their findings?"

"It's a Non-Hodgkin's a malignant lymphoma like before, however its spreading throughout his body"

"Did he decide for a treatment?"

"For now Tetsu told me that he'll take the Anti-Cancer Treatment"

"I see"

"I hope that will stop the lymphoma"

"I hope so too"

"I can't believe this"

"Well it's common for cancers to come back and on top of that Tetsuya is a high-risk"

Tetsuya wakes up, when he heard some people talking and when he opens his eyes again, he found out that Akashi isn't there anymore, he first saw Ogiwara and when he looks around he saw a familiar blue head.

"Otou-san?" he asked as he saw his father "You're here"

"Yes I am Tetsu"

"Otou-san" Tetsuya beamed as he confirmed he's not dreaming, he sits up "You should just lie down Tetsu" his father stopped him, however he didn't listen instead he hugged him and said "I miss you" Hikaru just sighed at his son's reaction and then he said "I missed you too"

"You really came here"

"Of course I am. I can't leave you all alone"

"Thank you otou-san" Tetsuya said.

"It's nothing" he said.

Tetsuya looked around the room, Akashi isn't really there, and he faced Ogiwara and said "Did you see Seijurou-kun?"

"Yeah, he left after someone called him"

"I see"

"I'm glad that you made up with him, I still hate what he did though"

"And who's this Seijurou?" his father asked, Tetsuya suddenly blushed at the sudden thought that his father knew that he liked someone he didn't knew the name.

"Seijurou Akashi, its Tetsuya's lover, the one he left behind" Ogiwara said.

"Shut up Shige-kun" Tetsuya yelled and didn't notice that his father seemed to have paused as he heard the name Akashi.

Tetsuya heard Ogiwara's pager rings "You should go Shige-kun"

"Yes yes. I'll leave you two here" Ogiwara said as he went out. Tetsuya turned his attention to his father; Tetsuya wondered why he seems to be in a daze.

"Otou-san? Is something wrong?"

"Tetsu, don't tell me that that person you're with is an Akashi?"

"Yeah, his name is Seijurou Akashi? Why father, do you them?" his father didn't answer to his question and it made Tetsuya think that he probably knew something, that's why he added "I met Akihiko Akashi-san and he's greatly opposed to my relationship with Seijurou-kun, he told me that I didn't know a thing about my mother. He said that you might know" his father still didn't answer him.

"Otou-san. Please tell me, why does Akashi-san hate me so much?"

"It can't be avoided that he'll hate you"

"Why?"

"It's our fault"

"Eh?"

"Me and your mother, you see, your mother belongs to a family like the Akashi." His father started,

"Like the Akashi?"

"Yeah, she's the youngest child of the Chinose family"

When Tetsuya heard that his eyes widen, he thought about Akira and wonders what the connection might be "Wait Chinose?"

"Yes, well your mother is a rich brat and she's supposed to be engage to Akihiko, and on top of that they were best friends" when Tetsuya's father said that he couldn't almost imagine that his mother and Akashi's father have a close relationship and thinking about those things Tetsuya had an idea as to why Akashi hates him.

"What happened to them?"

"Well Akihiko loves your mother deeply and your mother…loves him too" when he heard his father say that, Tetsuya looks at him with questions in his head but he let him finish first "Unfortunately they had a fight, that depressed your mother and that was when I met her. She was crying under the rain and when I saw her I fell in love at first sight, even though she's soaked with the rain and her make-up is smeared she's still beautiful. Well I offered her my umbrella at that time, she even yelled at me saying I'm stupid for offering an umbrella to someone who's already wet. We become friends since then, however one night, they have a fight again and she got hurt very much.

She invited me to drink and…yeah the rest happened. We both made a mistake, a month later she found put she's pregnant with you. Her family was very mad at her that they disown her; Akihiko was so mad at her and ended their engagement. We lived together and as she bears you she found out that Akihiko got married and that they are also having a child. She had tried to love me but not like she did to him, however I'm contented with that for at least she tried. When she died, not even a single member of her family came, I told Akihiko about her death but I never saw him come into her grave. Up until know it pains me to think about those times"

"Okaa-san suffered because of me" Tetsuya said as the sudden realization.

"Tetsu no, don't you ever think it is your fault"

"But…it's clear because of me okaa-san-"

"Tetsuya, it's never your fault, being born into this world is not a sin"

"But if I wasn't then okaa-san might live a happy life right now"

"Tetsuya…please…don't ever think that. Despite that everything that happened your mother loved you, you became the center if her world. She loved you so much and you know that" Tetsuya just cried at what his father said, and yes its true, even if he only spent a small amount of time with her, he felt her loved. She remembers the words she tells him when she died "I'm sorry I can never be with you Tetsuya. I love you".

Tetsuya cried in his father arms, he still can't help but think that because of him, his mother was left behind by the people she cared about.

=+.+.+.+.=.+.=.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.=

Akashi barged inside the mansion and went straight inside his father's study. When he get inside he receive the deadly glare from his father "Don't you know how to knock" the older Akashi said.

"I don't need to knock, what did you do to Tetsuya?" Akashi snarled at him. His father just looks at him coldly and replied "I don't know any Tetsuya" he lied.

Seijurou glared at him and said "Don't act so naïve it doesn't suit you old man, what have you done to him ten years ago?"

"I just told him to stay away from you" his father said so casually "You're going to be the heir of the Akashi Group and I don't want to hear any strange rumors about you"

"You don't care about rumors, you don't care any shit about that, is it because of his mother, isn't it?"Akashi asked, Akihiko glared at him and said "Don't bring her up in this conversation"

"Why not? I know you don't like him because he resembles her so much"

"Are you trying to piss me off Seijurou?"

"I love Tetsuya and you can't do anything to destroy our relationship. I'll be with him regardless of whether you like it or not"

"You can't be with him, he's a guy and on top of that you're engage"

"I'm breaking it off"

"Don't you dare"

"Oh I dare, I'm going to be with Tetsuya" Akashi said as he turns his back against his father and headed to the door but before he could leave his father said "I'll let you chose Seijurou, if you leave this room and be with that guy then I'll disown you". When Akashi heard that he stopped his pace then he heard him continue "but if you came back and say sorry I'll forgive you. Remember that you're nothing without me"

Akashi sighed and then he went back to his father, Akihiko just smirked as he watched his son came back, however as Akashi is in front of his father he gets the keys of his apartment and his car and puts it on his father's desk, then he said "Thank you for everything that you have done to me, farewell" he said as he turns his back from his father.

Akihiko's eyes just widen at Akashi's act, he wasn't expecting that he would really give up everything, and then he watched him as he disappeared to the door.

He's so mad, he had never felt so mad and humiliated, he would make those two suffer, and he'll make sure of it. He'll make Seijurou regret his decision, he dare mess with the wrong guy.

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.=.+

Akashi didn't know if what he did is the right thing, he knows that his father will be a formidable enemy and he's sure that he'll make him suffer, however he didn't care as long as he's going to be with Tetsuya he doesn't care anymore. He decide to go back to the hospital, he was about to go to his car when he remember he returned it back to his father, he decided that he'll just take the taxi or something to go back to the hospital.

When he arrives at the hospital and arrived at Tetsuya's room he noticed that he isn't there, but it seems he isn't discharged too. He just stand there and didn't know what to do, what if Tetsuya had escaped or something, or got kidnapped, he cursed himself for thing the latter, there's no way Tetsuya would be kidnapped, he was in the middle of his thoughts when suddenly he felt two arms hugged him from behind.

He looked down and saw two pale hands clutching him tightly and as he saw that the left hand with a golden band on it he smirked. He touched the pale hands then he said "Did you miss me already?"

"Yeah, you suddenly disappeared when I wake up" he heard him reply.

Akashi holds his hands and then he pulls them away from him and he turned to face him "You're really lovesick aren't you?" Akashi smirked.

Tetsuya smiled and he said "Yeah, I am, I'm very lovesick" Akashi just smiled, and then he held Tetsuya's cheek with his right hand said "You're really beautiful Tetsuya"

"Are you blind I'm a guy?"

"I know"

"You shouldn't call a guy beautiful"

"I know"

Akashi stared at Tetsuya's blue eyes, something really in those pale blue eyes of him that mesmerizes him, he kissed Tetsuya's forehead, and then he kissed his nose, then his eyes, his cheeks and lastly his lips. Tetsuya looks at him with wonder, and then he asked him "Is something wrong Seijurou-kun"

Akashi hugged Tetsuya, and then he whispered "I love you"

Tetsuya pushed him lightly and then stared at his heterochromatic eyes, then he smiled at him and said "I love you too" then he tiptoed and kiss Akashi on the lips. Akashi's heart is beating so fast as he felt Tetsuya kiss him, he didn't know why but he really love him, so much that his heart burst whenever he thinks about him. He deepen their kiss even more, and dominate over Tetsuya's mouth, even it's just been a week he have already missed the taste of his lips.

Tetsuya let Akashi dominate over him, if it's Akashi he would do everything he wanted, he won't care if it's right or wrong as long as it's him. They both panted as they parted from each other, Tetsuya's lips were already red and his face is flushed red. They both know they have to stop or else they might end up doing something illegal inside the hospital.

Akashi hugged Tetsuya, and he whispered in his ear "Let's escape from here"

"What?" Tetsuya asked him, with a disbelieving look on his face.

"You've been here for many days, let's go out"

"But what if someone catch us"

"Well then we should hide very well. So what do you say?" Akashi asked, Tetsuya just smiled and nod.

Akashi takes Tetsuya's overcoat and then wears it over Tetsuya's hospital clothes, he hold Tetsuya's hand and the two of them went out of the room, they make sure no one catches and without breaking a sweat the two of the got out of the hospital without anyone seeing them.

"My father would kill me if he finds out"

"Your father?" he asked.

"Yeah he just arrived from America"

"I see"

"Shige-kun too, he'll freak out"

"Well then, let's go before they find us"

"Where the hell are we going?"

Akashi smirked and said "Somewhere" Akashi brings Tetsuya to a bus stop. Tetsuya wondered why they are not using Akashi's car, he just said to himself that he probably did it on purpose. When the bus arrived the two of them immediately rides on it.

"This is somewhat nostalgic" Tetsuya said as he remembers that time when they are in middle school.

"What is it?"

"It's like when we were in middle school when we went to the beach"

"Ahh that…you also remembered what we did on the bus?" Akashi teased him; Tetsuya didn't answer and blushed as he remembers the memory. Akashi holds Tetsuya's hand tightly, Tetsuya just smiled at his actions and without saying anything he leaned his head on Akashi's arm. Akashi smirked and instead of letting Tetsuya rest on his shoulder he wraps his arm around him and let him rest on his chest. Both of them just snicker their laugh neither the two of them cared about the people who were watching at them. They only paid attention to each other.

All they think is that the two of them are together and no matter what happens they are going to be together.

Tetsuya fell asleep on Akashi's arm that's why when he felt him shake him up, he wakes up. "We're her Tetsu" he heard him say.

"Huh?" he said as he rubs his eyes with his free hand, since Akashi hand stand up, he also stand up and they went out of the bus. When Tetsuya look around his eyes widen as he saw the place where they're at and the scene that is in front of him.

"The sunset?" he said as he saw the beach with its beautiful red and black sunset. Tetsuya can't stop from smiling as he saw the scenery.

"Yeah, we weren't able to see the sunset when we came here" Akashi said referring to the time when they came here.

"It's as beautiful as ever"

"Yes it is, let's go to the shore" Akashi said and holds Tetsuya's hand. The two of them went to the shore, and watched the waves crashed against the shore. "Too bad we can't play in the water" Tetsuya said.

"Yeah, it's winter already"

"Your birthday is almost up Seijurou-kun" Tetsuya said.

"Yeah" Akashi nods.

"So what gift do you want?"

"You"

"That doesn't make any sense"

"You can just put a ribbon around your neck; that will satisfy me"

"That's not fair, please answer me more seriously"

"I'm answering seriously"

"Seijurou-kun" Tetsuya pouted, Akashi just smirked then he pinched Tetsuya's cheek, Tetsuya cried in pain.

"Anything will be fine as long as it came from you Tetsuya"

"That's a vague answer"

"You can decided on it"

"Okay then"

The two of them continued to walk on the seashore, hands clasping together, then suddenly Akashi stops, Tetsuya noticed him stop that's why he also stops. It's slowly getting dark and the sun is halfway through the horizon, Akashi stands in front of Tetsuya, Tetsuya just looks at him with a puzzling look.

"What is it Seijurou-kun?" then without saying anything, Akashi kneeled on his one knee. Tetsuya couldn't make any sense of Akashi's action, Tetsuya thought that he's like a guy proposing to a girl, then suddenly, he holds Tetsuya's hands and said "Marry me Tetsuya?"
