Akashi never imagined that he would see him again; he knew what he has done was horrible, but now after he had been beaten, he was slowly turning back to his old self. He has an agenda now: make redemption within himself, and make him forgive him for what he had done. You might be asking, who is him that he was referring to? Well, he is the only one who can make him feel like this, he will get him back; because he is always absolute no matter what, he is the only who he can call him as his equal with everything, body and soul.
As to how he saw him again like right now, you might be wondering where he was? Well after bumping into Furihata Kouki, who was still afraid from him, which he will change that in due time, he decided to visit kagami who had defeated him, and see how their practice is going, for some reason, Furihata was fidgeting the whole time. He tried to be gentle but he was getting annoyed. And now finally he knew the reason, he didn't notice him yet; because he didn't make his presence known, he saw him actually practicing and he noticed that there is a new member, he knew him, because after all he knows everyone who he had defeated.
He was snapped back into the reality, when he heard some barking? He turned his head slightly to see a cute dog, and he couldn't deny that this dog is so cute, but he doesn't show it but inside he was squealing in silent too. He bent down on one knee and started to pet this cute creature, he couldn't help but to chuckle softly at the way he was wiggling his tail. And that made the whole team to stop their practice.
He seemed to notice the silence; so he straightened himself, and then smiled. He greeted them politely.
"Hello, I have bumped into Furihata-kun and decided to greet you all"
"Ah, Akashi! How are you doing?!" Kagami asked as he marched towards him, he was beaming with joy that he can see Akashi? Kuroko was confused. He was hiding himself like a coward behind Shige's back and clutching his shirt in a tight grip, it resulted a shaking hands because of his tensed nerves, he tried to block out the flashbacks that's came back to haunt him, flashbacks when he used to be with Akashi. But he broke his heart and his friendships; he is the only one who he doesn't want to see.
Because if he did, he might explode…not from fear no it is worse, the answer is from the anger
Oh yes, he was not only angry for the way he destroyed everything, the way he played with him, and made him believe that he loved him, it was also for making him weak, and he hated to be weak all the time; because of him, he had to quit Basketball, the only thing that was important to him; because of him… he had isolated himself from his teammates and everyone.
But now, he can't deny that he is angry at the moment, how could he be like this again? Where was the real Akashi that had destroyed him, he knows that he is in there, he has to make him appear, but he doesn't care, the chatting between all of them, how can they trust this person? He needs to warn them not to talk to some tyrant person. Who believes that power is everything, everyone was talking about something but he couldn't hear any word. Except this one
"It seems that you have new members?"
All this time, he was not able to look at him in the eye's but right now there is this pull that magnetized his sight towards him, he gasped fearfully about this great sudden anger that wants to explode at any moment so he hid himself behind Shige's back, and tried to calm his beating heart, he couldn't see the that the concern started to show in everyone's faces, Shige knows though, he knows that he is livid.
"I don't think that an introduction is needed, after all, I am sure you both know us, Akashi."
That was Shige's voice, good let them talk and ignore that he exists he needs this now, he doesn't want to face him anymore, but when he said this he couldn't help it, his anger had snapped.
"Tetsuya, why are you hiding? Are you afraid from me?" Everyone knew that Akashi was trying to be gentle, the way he spoke was smooth, everyone knew that he was trying to encourage kuroko to speak up, but they didn't know that kuroko would become like this.
You can see that everyone is startled and their body couldn't move from the shock…he was giving Akashi a death stare, his face was glazed for a split-second and then he frowned, his lips pursed together and his eyes unblinking, at that moment, if his eyes were a weapon, the piercing look in them could have caused serious destruction, like he was a lion and Akashi just went into his territory and he is about to attack.
Kuroko removed himself from his 'safety' that means he is no longer hiding behind Shige's back, he is now exposed and is about to explode.
His anger took control, he couldn't help it. Kagami tried to talk sense into him, but no… he wasn't hearing anything, all what he was seeing… this person who destroyed his life, kuroko can see that Akashi was stunned, Akashi braced himself because he will allow this, he will allow him to do anything; it is at least a payback for what he have done. He was stunned because he had never seen his kuroko this angry before. So he will allow it.
He had never felt like this, of this pain… the punches and smacks on the head, he didn't feel any of them, but he was feeling something else, he now knows how kuroko had felt, with each hit, he stood his ground, he wanted to feel of what he had done to kuroko, maybe then kuroko will forgive him, but now he will take this, he signaled to everyone not to interfere, and no one can disobey his order, so he let Kuroko do this to him.
It seems like it was forever, when Kuroko finally had calmed down, Akashi was bleeding, but he didn't care at all, he deserves this. For now he held kuroko who was unable to stand, it's like he took the beating instead, the way he was panting and in pain, he could see the exhaustion in his eyes. Now it is his turn to speak.
" Tetsuya, I have wanted to say this and in front of everyone, I am sorry for everything that I have done, I still love you, and I know that you hate me so much, but please give me another chance, it is so hard for me saying all of this, but I am trying to fix myself, even if you didn't accept my apology, I will try to fix everything"
Kuroko smiled fondly, but said nothing as he closed his eyes and went into a peaceful sleep for once in his life.
A/N Hi! I know that I am late, but I had a major writer's block and it is so annoying… anyway, I think this is the end? I hope it was not rushed or anything. Maybe I will try to write more chapters about their relationships… any suggestions about the pairing? Or shall I make it EveryoneXkruoko? And slight AomineXTaiga?
