Chapter 10
Akashi patiently waits, sitting on the sofa on his mothers lap. He played with her long red hair, twirling it around his fingers.
His father glares at him for some damn reason Akashi doesn't know but he was too busy giggling with his mother as they make small jokes with each other.
Then, his ears perk up at the door bell ringing. His father heaves himself up from the red velvet couch and made his way out of the room. Then the sound of the door opening was heard.
"Ah. Shouta. Welcome, follow me." Akashi heard his father say. The sound of the door closed and footsteps were heard.
"This place has really changed, Masaomi." A gentle voice replied.
"Of course, its to impress my childhood friend for sure." Chuckles erupted from his fathers throat. A snort was heard but nothing else was said.
Footsteps got nearer. Then, two men entered the room. Akashi glanced up to get a better look at the other man.
The man had white-grayish hair, he had a fair look which meant the man was probably around his 30's. He has gentle, black eyes and pale skin. He wore a plain t-shirt with a white and dark green trench coat along with blue jeans and black sneakers, which surprised Akashi at how casual he looked.
"Shiori, Seijuro, this is Kuroko Shouta, my childhood friend and the CEO of the Kuroko Co., so please treat him and his son respect." Akashi's father said sternly. Shouta softly punched his shoulder and smiled at the two.
"Domo. My name is Kuroko Shouta and this is my son Kuroko Tetsuya, he's seven years old." Daisuke bowed, and twisted his body around. "No need to be scared, Tet."
Shuffling was heard from the back of Shouta, then a pale boy revealed himself. He was skinnier taller than Akashi by a few centimeters. He had short sky blue hair. His sky blue, doe eyes staring at everything around him. He wore a pair of jeans and a blue long sleeved shirt with a white shirt on top along with blue vans.
"Oh my goodness! He's so cute! Sei-kun is six year old!" Akashi's mother squealed in delight, her eyes brightening.
"Ah. Domo Akashi-san and Akashi-san and Akashi-kun." The boy bowed to each of them. He gave them a meek smile.
Akashi's mother lifted Akashi off her lap and placed him on the ground as she stood up. "How about the two of you go to Sei-kun's room and play with his toys?" She smiled happily before patting Akashi's back and shoved him lightly towards Kuroko.
The red head didn't want to do ANYTHING with this boy. But because his mother suggested it, he had to do it. Akashi slowly nodded before motioning a hand for Kuroko to follow him.
When they get to his room, he turns around to see nobody.
He figured the older boy got lost, so he shrugged and opened the room to his door. When he slammed the door shut behind him, he heard a small 'itte!' outside his door. Confused, he turned around once again and opened the door.
There on the ground was the older boy with red on the bridge of his nose. His eyes shut firmly as if he was bracing something.
Akashi's eye orbs widened. When did he get there? Could he have been behind him the whole time? Who knows? He doesn't know. He wanted to push it away, but he couldn't stop thinking about it.
"What are you doing?" Akashi coldly asked. The older's eyes snapped open and looked upwards to meet Akashi.
"I was following you to your room?" Kuroko said. "Your mother sent you to show me to your room, remember?"
"You can just leave." Akashi managed not to roll his eyes.
"Bu-"
Before Kuroko could say anymore, the door was slammed shut right in front of his face.
"Excuse me?" Akashi jaw dropped. His fork dropped onto the plate with a 'ching!' and the bread stuffed in his mouth slowly slipped out.
"Seijuro!" His father hissed, disgusted at the chewed up and slimy bread dropping onto the plate.
"Yes, Sei-kun. Kuroko-kun will become your mentor!" His mother said happily. Before Akashi could protest, his mother went back to eating and chatting with his father.
Akashi stared at his mother with a scowl on his face. This was absurd. He knew his mother well enough to know that she knew that HE didn't need a mentor. His grades were all A+'s and on every test, he got everything right.
But why does she wan't him to be his mentor?
He'll just have to wait until something happens.
Akashi climbed out of the black limo, and walked towards his mansion as a butler closes the car door and catches up with Akashi. The limo drove away to somewhere else.
The boy climbs up the steps and walked towards the two doors. A maid that was dusting the windows from the outside walked to the door and opened it for him and bowed.
He entered without hesitation and kept on moving forward. As Akashi made his way up the stairs, he heard laughter echoing down the hall.
Suspicious, he quickened his pace up the stairs and made his way down the hallways. As he got nearer he got to the laughter, he began to notice that the laughter was coming from his room.
When he got to his door, he froze, with his handle on the doorknob.
"Sei-kun will definitely like you once you get to know each other, Tet-kun!" He heard his mothers voice.
"Can you please not pinch my cheeks?" It was Kuroko Tetsuya.
"So cute!" His mother squealed.
Akashi grip on the handle tightened. But he slowly turned the handle and opened the door.
There sitting on the couch that sat in front of his bed was his mother and Kuroko Tetsuya, sitting side by side.
"Sei-kun! How was school? Me and Tet-kun here were just talking about you!" His mother turned around to face him, with a big smile on her face. Kuroko gave him a weary smile and a small wave.
It was clear to Akashi that the older boy was uncomfortable.
"Mother, may I have a word with Kuroko-kun?" Akashi gave her a sweet -fake- smile. His mother's eyes became brighter, she quickly nodded before scurrying out of the room.
They stood in an awkward silence.
"Are you going to leave or what?" Akashi said, breaking the silence.
Kuroko eyes looked up from his lap to meet his eyes with Akashi's big, narrowed eyes.
"Well? Don't just sit there. Leave." Akashi hissed at him, impatient.
Kuroko was taken back at how his attitude changed so quickly. His eyes twitched in annoyance. The bluenette tried so hard not to get mad at the red heads attitude, but what could he do? Then an idea popped in his head.
"I'll be more than happy to leave. I don't want to be around someone who has such a cocky attitude anyways." Kuroko shot back at him.
Akashi's orbs widened at the come back. But he quickly recovered.
"What happened to the gentle and 'cute' side of yours?" He sneered, shoving his hands into his pants pockets.
"I was trying to be nicer, but..." Kuroko mumbled. He stood up and briskly walked past. The bluenette turned his head to look over his shoulder at where Akashi was standing.
"Too bad." Kuroko smiled innocently at him.
"Tet! It's time to leave!" Shouta called from downstairs. Kuroko left.
Akashi was left in the room, trying to get the whole thing running through his brain. He could still remember the older boys smile.
It was beautiful.
But he couldn't fall for the boy's tricks.
His lips slowly quirked up.
"Touché"
Akashi slowly opened his eyes. He hissed at the light that shined through his windows. The sound of birds chirping and the warm light of the sun hit his face.
There was a blanket placed over his body. He threw the soft, warm fabric off his body to the side. Still wearing the previous clothes from last night, the red bed ruffled his hair as he made his way towards his desk.
He spotted his red phone and grabbed it, then slicked it open.
8:04 am
Akashi groaned. He muttered 'shit' under his breath, but decided to skip school today. Placing his phone back onto the desk, he went straight to the bathroom.
-
Akashi walked out of the restroom, only with a small towel on top of his head and a towel around his waist. He heard ringing coming from his phone when he was going to his closet. He opened it.
Midorima Shintarou
"Hello?" Akashi answered, surprised that he was getting a call from the carrot man. Usually, he never calls and mostly texts.
"OI AKASHI. WHERE ARE YOU!?" A deep voice yelled from the other side. Akashi leaned the phone away from his ear.
"You dare shout at me, Daiki?" Akashi sternly questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh no no no no, of course not!" Chuckling was heard from the other side.
"AOMINE! GIVE ME BACK MY PHONE NANODAYO!" A new voice shouted, the voice a little distanced.
"HOLD ON!" Aomine hollered, which made Akashi pull the phone away from his ear.
"USE YOUR OWN DAMN PHONE!"
"ITS DEAD!"
"THATS YOUR FAULT! NOW WHO ARE YOU CALLI-" The voice what cut off.
"Shintarou." Akashi greeted.
"A-ah, Akashi. I apologize. How are you?" Midorima greeted back, going back to his normal self.
"AKASHICCHI!? WHERE ARE YOU!? I MISSED YOU! OMG ARE YOU OKAY!?" An annoying voice screamed, a shrilly and girly one.
"Ryouta. I advise that you don't get on my nerves." Akashi sighed.
"O-oh. G-g-gomen..heh."
"Aka-chin~ Where have you been~"
"I woke up late this morning, so I decided to stay home." Akashi said, glad that there was someone 'normal' there.
"Mhm~ Kuro-chin would like to talk to you~"
The mention of the bluenette made Akashi stiffen, but he had to keep composure. He replied 'sure' and cleared his voice.
"Akashi-kun? Domo." The deadpanned voice made both sides of Akashi's lip tug upward.
"Tetsuya..did you miss me?" There was silence at the end of the line. An image of Kuroko blushing popped in his mind.
"..stop playing around, Akashi-kun..." Akashi muffled a chuckled into the palm of his hand.
"I'm serious, Akashi-kun."
"Your always serious." He teased. Kuroko groaned. "Kidding. Don't worry. Your still cute, even though your face is always blank."
"I don't care anymore. I'll be giving the phone back now. Good-bye Akashi-kun."
"I love you~" Akashi said, smirking.
"Wha-! This isn't funny!"
"I don't mean to pry Tetsuya, but are you blushing?" Akashi asked sweetly. He heard the bluenette sputtering and a few coughing in the background.
"GOOD-BYE AKASHI-KUN."
Click.
Akashi threw his head back and laughed. The bluenette always made him laugh.
'Wha-! This isn't funny!'
Akashi laugh grew smaller until he wasn't even laughing anymore. Thats right. The older boy thought it was a joke. They have been like brothers and close friends since they were young, so the bluenette must've thought that he meant it in a brotherly way.
The red head slowly turned to face the window.
Someday, he will confess.
But who knows.
Maybe that day won't come.
He just hopes that it will.
