"Kuroko!" Kagami quickened his pace, trying to catch up with his fiance whom seemingly walked very fast even when he are wearing the yukata. He just didn't know how even the shorter even managed to move as fast as this when he had a difficulty to walked wearing this clothes. "Oi, Kuroko!" He clicked his tongue in annoyed. He are slowly getting pissed off at how slow he move and why does it became so hard to catch up with the other. "Stop right now!"
...
"Oi, Kuroko!" He increased his pace and raised his voice as he reached out his left hand, trying to grabbed onto those small and white pale hand which he only succeed grabbing it after the second tries. "I said stop, damn it!" He hissed in anger as he tightened the hold's onto the smaller's wrist and pulled him to stand right in front of him. His heart immediately break at the sight in front of him right now as his anger now already faded almost immediately when he saw that expression. "You.."
"L-let me go, Kagami-kun.."
"..."
"Please.. l-let me go, I-"
"Shut up."
"..p-please, let me-"
"Damn, why would I ever let you go?!" He hissed before he pulled Kuroko into his embrace, wrapping his other hand around him, comforting his fiance. He could felt the figure in his embrace started trembling before he could hear the sobs became louder. He instantly tightened his hold's around the other, bringing them closer together.
Somehow, hearing those words make something pierced through Kuroko's heart. He felt warmth and reassurance, and also pain all together at the same time. He knew why did he felt this way, with no doubt he was sure about it. He are worried about their future, his and Kagami future when his head kept on repeating the elder's words in the room just now. Every words the elder said, stabbed every inch of his heart. He didn't knew whether he are strong enough to face all the threats and obstacles that would appeared in his life after this. He really have no confident in himself. He knew the only way to back away from all this mess are by staying away from Kagami Taiga and never show his existence at the taller, he knew that. But he couldn't do it. How could he even have a heart to do that when he love the other so much? He didn't wanted to be apart with his fiance, not when they already started on a good term and were starting to go somewhere in their relationship. Just no. "I don't want to leave you..."
"Shh.."
"God, what should I do..?" He bit on his lower lips as he brought his hands to gripped onto the front of the taller's yukata, burying his face on the other's chest as he began to sobbed even harder.
"Don't cry.."
"I..I.. K-Kagami-kun.."
"Shh.. let's go back. It's not going to do any good if you cry here and that bastard see it."
"...K-Kagami-kun.."
"Okay?" Kagami raised an eyebrows as he glanced at the smaller in his embrace. He could saw his fiance only nodded and for him, that was already enough response he need from the broken boy. He pulled away just only for him to moved his arms and started to scooped the teal haired boy into his arms, before he marched forwards. He couldn't helped but to looked down at his fiance's face and noticed that the other still had his face buried on his chest, covering his face completely. Seeing this, he could only felt his heart throbbed in pain as he sighed inwardly. His grandfather are really too much today.
"Taiga-sama, where are you going?"
His legs stopped when he heard that familiar voice in this main house. It was none other than the maid that had been served for the Kagami for more than 32 years. The elder were there when he was still young, he could still remembered it. "Home."
"Home?"
"You heard me."
"But Takeshi-sama said-"
"Damn that old man, I won't be staying here. My business here already finish."
"Carrying that boy with you?"
"Of course. He's my fiance."
"..."
"You have no right to look at him that way." He growled lightly when he could noticed the looks that the older woman gave towards the boy in his arms.
"..is that so."
"Grab my things from my room and brought it to me outside." He hissed, trying not to sound very annoyed and commanded the woman as he continued his pace back, heading towards the main door. But after the fifth steps he had taken, he stopped and turned around to looked at the woman, a bit confused as to why did the older didn't even move yet from where she was standing. "Why aren't you moving?" He squinted his eyebrows. "Don't you hear me?"
"I'm sorry, but I have to disobey you Taiga-sama. Takeshi-sama already said beforehand that all of you are going to stay the night here today and are only able to go home tomorrow."
"Huh?"
"That's what Takeshi-sama had ordered before."
He were dumbfounded at those demands, his head turned blank momentarily before he suddenly realized something. "Does that mean.." Automatically his face changed to annoyed. "..you're holding my things?"
"Yes."
"Who gave you the permission to touch my things?!"
"I'm just doing what had been told at me."
"Hah?!"
"If you're-"
"Then I command you to give me back all my things.!"
"I'm sorry, but no Taiga-sama."
"What?!"
"And please stop that unsightly behavior. You're carrying a man, not a woman. Man are not that weak, he can walk by himself."
"What?"
"I believe you understand my words very well, Taiga-sama."
"...!"
"Now if you will excuse me, I still have many things to do." The older woman bowed her head a bit before she stepped back and disappeared into the kitchen.
"Damn it! what the hell is wrong with this house?!" He hissed, totally feeling so mad right now. If it was not for Kuroko being in his arms, he would totally would be throwing a tantrum in this house right now.
"It seems like we don't have a choice but to stay for the day."
He turned around to see whose does that voice belonged to, only to saw Akashi and Furihata were walking towards their direction before they stopped in front of them. For some reason, he could see that somehow the heterochromatic man's style of walking were a bit different from his usually confident and cocky style. But then again, it was not like he were that interested in their matter. He got another matter that he need to face it. "You knew about it?" He raised an eyebrows.
"No. I've only heard it just now." Akashi said at the taller redhead while his eyes fell down to scanned at the figure in the other's arms. "So he's the one Kouki were talking about the other day."
"What are you looking at?"
"Is he really your fiance, Taiga?"
"He is, so what?"
"Interesting. From straight to gay, huh?" He smirked, couldn't helped but to just teased his hot headed cousin. "How will you survive?" He knew it was such a bad move to provoked the other, but he had no worries about anything, because if there were anything to happened to him Furihata would always protect him. He knew he really looked like a jerk right now, but he just couldn't helped it. He didn't purposely wanted to said those things towards the other, but he was just curious about the shorter man as well as he tried to calmed himself down after coming out from the tensed room. He were really out of words when he saw how their grandfather acted when he knew about his cousin and his fiance relationship, and how sharp and cruel their grandfather's words when he threw it on the teal haired boy's face. He was so sure it hurt the other's pride badly. He was scared. What would happened if his relationship with Furihata were to reached the old man's ears.
"If you're here just to add the fuel to the fire, I recommend you to get out of my sight right now, asshole!"
"What if I want to stay here?"
"You-!"
"Akashi-sama.!"
He could saw the brunette's expression from the corner of his eyes and he knew immediately that he should stopped all his words. "I know Kouki, I'll stop."
"Can you both please stop it? This is not the time for us to have a fight." Furihata glared at both of them which he got a hiss as a response from the taller man while the red wine headed just acted like he are not at the fault here. Seeing this, he could only let out a sigh. He were really tired of having to break these two apart whenever they were having a fight.
"Tch."
"You're always siding with him, Kouki."
"I'm not siding with anyone here. I-"
"Oh~! Look who's here! Don't left me behind!"
All three of them, minus Kuroko since he couldn't still brought himself up to pulled away from Kagami's chest, turned to looked at the source of the voice, and all have a same expression on their face. Well actually scratched it, it was different for the brunette. He were the only one who have a hard and tight expression on his face. Akashi, who noticed how the brunette suddenly changed to even more serious and had a scary expression on his face as his hands balled up into a tight fist on his side, immediately took his hand and hold onto it secretly. He didn't know why was the other were acting like this whenever he saw the grey haired boy. He had always noticed this changes whenever both the man are in a one place. "Kouki.."
"Oh Taiga, congratulation on your engagement~"
"Tch, I'm leaving." Kagami hissed in annoyed as he tightened his hold onto Kuroko and brought him to his room, wanting to calmed his fiance down. He didn't have time to deal with them. He just couldn't bear to watched his fiance kept on sobbing and having a negative things occupied his mind anymore.
Seeing both of the red and teal headed boys disappeared into the hallway to their room, Mayuzumi's eyes immediately moved his attention to the brunette and wine red haired boy. He was not that stupid not to noticed the way how Furihata were looking at him, and how Akashi's hand were holding onto the brunette's hand. He could felt his heart were burning in jealousy, but he need to control himself. He are not a kid anymore, he could handle this kind of problems. He didn't wanted to showed the immature side of him in front of the person he love, so the only thing he could do to masked away his pain and feelings are by summoning out a smile on his face. He had always relied on that. "It''s been a long time since we see each other right?" He tried to greet them, but none of them said anything and it hurts him. Especially when he had hope that the heterochromatic boy would greeted him back. But it was okay, it was not like it was the first time he had to masked away his pain. "How are you guys?"
Somehow feeling that Furihata wouldn't even wanted to answered the grey headed, Akashi decided that he would be the one to tried lessened the tense atmosphere in the room right now. He turned his head to looked at the other as he let go of the brunette's hand and let out his usual smile. "We're fine. How about you, Chihiro?"
"Me? I'm fine too! So how's your life Seijuro?"
"Same as usual, handling some of my parent's company works and doing my school's works."
"Must be hard for you, eh?"
"I'm already used to it."
"Akashi-sama, I'll ask the maids to prepare room for you." Furihata cut the two man's conversation, feeling that he aren't welcomed right now and he also didn't wanted to see the grey headed.
"What? Kouki you're leaving? But Chihiro is-"
"I'm busy."
"But-"
"Ah ah, Furihata, aren't you gonna greet your old friend?" Mayuzumi smirked, purposely trying to make the brunette mad. "Take a rest for a bit. Come on, let's hang out like we use to before!" He smiled widely, showing his teeth as he walked towards the other and put his arm around his neck. "Come on, hmm?"
"What are you doing?" Furihata looked at him sharply from the corner of his eyes as he gritted his teeth, but controlled his tone not to make it sound he was irritated by the other and trying really hard not to showed Akashi that he didn't like this act being shown by Mayuzumi.
"I just miss my friends!" The grey headed chuckled once more before he wrapped his arms around the other on his torso. He patted his back and tilted his head a bit, aligning his mouth to the other's ear and whispered. "What are you so angry about huh? The one who should be angry is me."
"Let go of me-"
"Have you been treating him well?"
"None of your bu-"
"Don't think that I don't notice the way he walk, bastard."
"...!"
After they are already in their room, Kagami immediately put Kuroko onto the bed before he goes back to the door only to closed it and locked it. He didn't wanted anyone to disturbed them right now, and he wouldn't appreciated it if there was someone who would barged into their room when they are doing something. He turned to looked at his fiance who were sitting on the bed with his back towards him. He must admitted that he really disliked this sight. He didn't even once like it. He knew it was funny to said that since they had just move step forward in their relationship, but he already talked like they always stayed in the same room. Well, this lately they indeed started staying in his room together. That also were after he had started to developed these feeling towards the smaller pale boy, and those feeling turned even more powerful when he had learned the back story of the other's. The most darkest story he has heard in his whole life. "Why did I just started to treat him nicely until now?" He balled up his hands on his side into a tight fist, feeling his anger started to boiling up again when he remembered every words his grandfather threw toward his fiance and how the old man had humiliated his fiance with everyone else in the room. He hissed loudly at that. "That old fucker.!"
But then again, he knew if he continued to stayed angry at this moment it would not bring anything good for both of them. So for once, he have to held back his anger and comforted his fiance. He have to make the other's stop crying because every times he heard the other's cries, it pierced into his heart."I should have protect him sooner." He gritted his teeth in anger, before he closed his eyes momentarily and take a deep breath. After he had managed to steady his emotions, only then he opened his eyes back and began to walked towards the bed. "Kuroko." He called out for the teal headed as he sat down beside of him on the bed.
"..."
"Hey."
"..."
"Look at me." He grabbed Kuroko's chin and tilted it upward, making their eyes met with each other. And once again his heart throbbed in pain when he looked at his fiance's face. The shorter are still crying, and he could saw how swollen the eyes had become. He clenched his teeth as hard as he could, when he remembered this happened was all because of his grandfather. That old man really already gone too far with his words, and even embarrassed the other in front of everyone else in the room. And that was really disgusting to him. "You're still crying.."
"I...I t-that.. I.."
"Stop crying, Kuroko." He brought up his hands and wiped the shorter's tears away using his thumbs. "Stop." He said again, but this time he used his left hand and put it behind of his fiance's head and pulled him into his embrace. "It's not worth it."
"..."
"The more you cry, the happier he become. So don't show your weakness to him." He waited for any response, anything, but instead of words came out from the other's lips, the other's cries turned even more worse. And honestly, that sight already hurt him many times.
"...b-but..I..it's.."
"I know it hurts your pride, I know it. I know how much it hurts for you, but I don't want him to think that he already got the upper hand in this matter." He stroked Kuroko's hair softly, trying to calmed his fiance down in hoping that he could make him stop crying. They had just started a proper relationship between them, and he didn't wanted it to be ruined in the blink of an eye. He had started to developed feelings for his fiance, and now he were trying to find the love that he had been longed for after all these times. He wouldn't let just because of his grandfather, he have to lost the luxury he get with his fiance. "It hurts me more seeing you like this.." He bit his lower lips, holding himself back not to just screamed in frustration here. No, he couldn't act carelessly, especially when it involved the old man. He have to be smart in this game they are are going to play soon enough. Right now in fact.
"I..Kagami-kun, I really d-don't want to be a-apart from you.." Kuroko began to sobbed again from the overwhelming feelings he got when Kagami brought him into his embrace, closer to him while one of his large warm hand were stroking his hair softly as the other one hold onto his trembling hand. "I really don't want t-that.."
"Don't worry, we won't."
"How..how can you be s-so sure about that?" He pulled away and looked at the red headed in the eyes with his teary one. He was really scared that what if the things would became real? What are going to happened to him if he were to lived apart from Kagami? And then what? go back to his old life? He didn't wanted to go back to that hell. He didn't wanted anyone to touched him other than his own fiance. "I.. I d-don't want to be touch by those guys again, K-Kagami-kun.." He shook his head while his body began to trembled in fear. "I..don't want that.."
"Why are you so quick to think until that part, huh?"
"W-what do you mean?"
"Just what is in your brain?"
"..."
"We're still together right now, isn't? And what makes you think that we were the one going to lose in our own relationship?"
"...!"
"As long as you know me as your fiance, I won't give up easily on us."
"...f-fiance.."
"Do you hear me?"
"..did he really just said that?"
"Oi."
"..I-I hear it right, right?"
"Snap out of it."
"..!" His eyes widen in shocked when he heard the taller's words and when it finally downed into his brain. It was not a shock that he felt or directed to the bad way, but rather he felt shocked and a bit unbelievable when he heard the part, 'fiance ' and 'I won't give up easily on us.' It was hard to believed it, but he knew he aren't dreaming or hallucinating right now. Just the fact that he could felt the warmth throughout his body, he knew that this was real. Unknowingly, his tears rolled down his cheeks even more faster as his heartbeat beat faster. He felt so happy, really happy when his fiance took their relationship to that par.
"O-oi, why are you crying even more?"
"Ah.. I'm really lucky to be having this man as my fiance.."
"Oi, stop crying already!"
"I..I'm s-sorry.. I just.."
Kagami could only let out a soft sigh as he rubbed his fiance's back, trying to calmed him down while he pulled the other back into his embrace. He have no words to say anymore. He didn't knew what words should he be saying to make his fiance feel better, he kept thinking on it but he couldn't even find one. He was afraid that if he used the wrong word and the other took it as something else that would lead them to have an argument, he couldn't held in his anger. So he decided that it was better if he just closed his mouth and instead tried to calmed the shorter down. Hearing the other's cries really break his heart, but then again, he couldn't do anything else except to comfort him. They stayed like this-for who knows how long-, holding this position until he could no longer hear Kuroko's sobs and only then the teal headed raised his head to look at him. "What is it?"
"..t-thank you..K-Kagami-kun."
He almost wanted to break into a smile when he saw his fiance were trying his best to let out a smile with his current crying mess state which he found really cute, but he hold it back. All was because he wanted to teased the smaller boy. Don't blamed him for that because every time he looked at his cute fiance, he would felt the urge wanted to messed with him. "Thank you? then where is the reward?" He pulled with a bit more force but really softly, towards him as he leaned back a little, making half of his fiance's body laid on top of him.
"E-eh?"
"I help you to calm down, right?"
"A-ah.. y-yes."
"So?"
"..s-so?..uh.."
"What will you give me in return?" He raised an eyebrow, purposely putting a pressure on the other. He waited for a minute, but still the shorter didn't even gave any response at him. "If you don't know what to give me, then I'll decide it for you." He smirked. He used his left hand and grabbed onto his fiance's chin and brought it closer to him. "Let out your tongue."
"E-eh.. m-my tongue?"
"Yes. Now, let it out." He used his thumb and touched his fiance's lower lips, swiping it gently, trying to persuade the other to open his mouth. It didn't even took him five seconds to cracked a smile on his face when he saw the other slowly opened his mouth and let out his tongue while blushing hard. "Good. You're such an obedient boy, Kuroko." He let out a smirk, totally enjoying the reactions of his fiance right now. He then leaned down and start sucking the shorter's tongue sensually, as his right hand let go of the other's hand and move downward to squeezed his butt, trying to make his fiance become aroused at his touches.
"Ngghh..ami-un..."
"Don't keep back your tongue. Show it to me." He said in between their 'kiss'.
"Ang..hh..hahh-"
"Try to keep up with me, Kuroko."
Kuroko tried his best to really followed up with Kagami, but who was he compared to the taller. The redhead are an expert in kissing while he were really just an amateur in this kind of things. It was not their first kiss, of course it was not, since he remembered every moments of all the kisses they shared, bad or good, he remembered it very well and if it was a kiss, he could probably keep up with the taller. But then again, this are not a kiss. This was a new things for him to feel his fiance sucking on his lips. Automatically both his hands goes up and grabbed onto his fiance's shoulders. "...ami..Kagami-kun.." They kept going on with it for about three minutes, before he could felt that he couldn't even breathe properly. He shook his head as he tried to pulled his head back away, and he did succeed, only because the taller had also pulled away. "Hah...hah.."
"Look at how much the saliva is."
"Hah...hah..."
"Tired already, hm?"
His face turned even more redder when Kagami smeared their saliva onto his lips as he kept on groping onto his ass while looking at him with an intense stare. He wanted to protest, really. Not that he didn't like it if they would engaged in a sexual activities since he really wanted the taller to touched him all over again, but right now it was not the right place to be doing this. It would be really rude and unmoral of him if he did that. Having a feeling that he couldn't hold himself back if his fiance kept on doing his ministrations a minute longer, he decided that he have to stop this. "K-Kagami-kun.." He reached one of his hand to his bottom and hold onto the taller's wrist, halting his actions. "S-stop it.. i-it's not appropriate to do this here.."
"Why? this is our room."
"I-I know..b-but t-this is not o-our h-house."
"Wait, what?"
"I-it's r-rude for-"
"So you prefer it if we do these kind of things at home?"
"E-eh?"
"You said it, right?"
"I-I... n-no.. w-what I mean is.."
"So can I take you again when we're home?"
He shivered when he could felt his fiance's breath were hitting on his left ear, and how those velvety voice sounds so heavy and full on sexual. He could only gulped his saliva in nervous as he looked down, not wanting to make any eye contact with the other. It was really embarrassing for him right now. "U-uh..."
"Answer me, Kuroko."
"..."
"Oi."
"..."
"If you don't answer me in three seconds, I'm gonna do it to you right here right now."
"W-what?!" His eyes widen in shocked and instantly he lifted his head up to looked at his fiance in the eyes when he heard that threat.
"One,"
"..."
"Two,"
"W-wait..K-Kagami-kun-.."
"Three."
"...!"
"So you really actually want to do it now, huh?" Kagami summoned out his smirk yet again as his hand that were touching Kuroko's ass before, were moving once again, with now much more sensual move. He kept on moving it in a circular motion, giving it a little bit squeeze here and there.
"N-no..no, please n-not here!"
"Why? I thought you want it?" He slide his hand along the other's ass crack, going up and down, before he poke his fiance most sensitive part through the yukata which earned him a moan.
"I-I..d-don't want it!"
"Are you sure?" Again, he purposely trying to pressured the shorter by poking his finger a bit deeper inside of him, making the soft fabric of the yukata also went in just a bit inside of him. He saw the shorter nodded while biting on his lower lips, trying to prevent any more unnecessary moans from coming out from his mouth. "But somehow I can see that this part of you here are saying a different thing?" He continued to tortured the other again and again, totally ignoring his fiance's teary pleas towards at him. "Come on, only the fingers okay?"
"..n-no."
"Hm?"
"..please..n-no K-Kagami-kun. I..I don't like it.."
He could saw some tears were starting to rolled down on his fiance's cheeks, again, and he really didn't like that sight not even a bit. Immediately he stopped all of his doing and cursed at himself for being too into the game he had started out of his lust. "Sorry." He murmured an apology towards his fiance and brought him into his embrace, holding him tightly. "I'm sorry."
Kuroko closed his eyes as he brought up his arms and wrapped it around Kagami's neck and buried his face on the crook of the taller's neck. He shook his head as his way to say that it was not the taller's fault. He didn't knew why did he became so sensitive today. Well, it could be understandable that he would be upset with the old man's words just now, but it was not just that. He felt like, there was something that would always make him become so emotional. He still couldn't forget what did the elder said. Just merely at the thoughts of he have to leave his fiance and they have to be apart really make his heart throbbed in pain, even though his fiance already said clearly to him that he would not leave him. But then again, who knew what would happened in the future? Words are just merely a words, no one could assured that it would be just like the words said. But even then, still, he wanted to believed in those words. The only thing he wanted in his life was to be able to stay beside Kagami Taiga for the rest of his life. That was the only thing he wanted, nothing more. "Please God.. don't separate us."
"I'm sorry, Kuroko."
He could hear his fiance whispered that words again and again at his ears, like a mantra, and he couldn't helped but to let out a small smile. He had noticed that his fiance has changed so much from before, and he really like that. He was really grateful to God for making his fiance had a change if heart to start loving him. "Thank you so much, for loving me Kagami-kun.." He tightened his hold's, wanting to get even more close with his fiance if he could. He didn't know where did his confidence come, but he need to said it. He think that it was necessary for him to answered the taller's previous question. "I.. yes, we can do it w-when w-we're at home K-Kagami-kun."
Sure enough, Kagami eyes widen in surprised when he heard what did the soft voice whispered to him. He really wanted to see what kind of expression did his cute fiance are making, but the moment he tried to pulled the smaller away from him, it was futile. The grip around his neck are really tight. He wanted to asked the other to looked at him, but when he saw how red did the other's ears were, he decided that it was already enough. He smiled at this. "Then be prepared, Kuroko. I'm gonna do it with you all day."
"E-em..yes."
"Hold onto your promise."
(Hours later)
*KNOCK*KNOCK*
"Taiga-sama."
...
"Taiga-sama."
...
"The dinner is already done."
...
"Taiga-sama, are you sleeping?"
...
"Taiga-sama?" The maid, a much more younger one, furrowed her eyebrows together as she started to get worried upon hearing no response from the young man's room. Her heart grew more and more worried when she remembered the teal headed stranger in the house were staying one room with the red headed. Her eyes widen in shocked when her head imagined that thing; "Did he kill Taiga-sama?!". She shook her head in disbelief. "No, it can't be!" She looked straight ahead at the door in front of her as she began knocking with a much more force. At time like this she hate that why did this house were renovated with the modern style for some parts instead of just go fully old traditional. "Taiga-sama!"
...
"Please open the door!"
...
"Taiga-sama-!"
*CLICK*
There could heard the door creaked open from the inside and the one who unlocked the door was none other the stranger in the house. Immediately the woman's face changed to anger. "You!" She raised her voice as her hands automatically grabbed the man's neck as tightly, choking the smaller boy under her hands. Her eyes scanned all over the room and she didn't even see Kagami in the room. The only thing her eyes caught was how the bed was untidy, and the watch that she knew so well that who it belonged to, were laid on the bed. "What did you do to Taiga-sama?!"
"Ungghh..uhuk..it's hurt m-miss..unnhh.."
"Shut up, you whore!"
"..uhuh..l-let..g-go.."
"I knew it that I shouldn't never let Taiga-sama bring you inside!"
"...I-..uhuk.."
"You, disgusting human being!"
"..p-please..uuh, l-let me g-go-"
"Just die!"
"K-kagami-kun..uhuk..h-help m-me.." Kuroko tried to pried away the girl's hands from his neck, but it was futile. The girl were somehow stronger than him
"Miaka! what do you think you're doing?!"
The younger maid, Miaka, immediately let go of Kuroko and backed away from him quickly when she heard that stern voice coming from the hallway. She turned to looked at that person with a shocked face. "M-madam Chiyo!-" She didn't even get to finished her words when there was a slap delivered to her right cheek.
"What are you thinking?! Do you know what will happen if Taiga-sama saw this?"
"I-I'm s-sorry."
"Sorry would not save anything!" The elder maid that goes by the name Chiyo, the one who greeted Kagami and Kuroko as well as the one who told them they have to stayed here tonight, hissed when she saw the younger's unthinkable act. It was not like she sided with the teal hair boy, but she was the one who always act carefully in every actions she would do. "You," She turned her head to looked at the smaller boy and glared at him. Her eyes could noticed that there was a red mark around his neck and she cursed lowly at that. This was very bad. It would be totally messed up if Kagami saw it. Again, he hissed. "Shut your mouth about this incident, kid. Don't let Taiga-sama see those marks.! cover it!"
"..."
"Come on, Miaka." The woman turned around and grabbed the girl's hand and dragged them away from there as fast as they could, fearing Kagami would come and see all those commotions just now.
As soon as Kuroko could no longer hear their footsteps, he quickly closed the door as his tears came back rolling down his cheeks as he cried a silent cries. It was already bad enough that he already got a headache after crying for so long from before, but now he have to go through all of this again? Does his three hours of nap before meant nothing at this point if he have to go through all over it again? He was tired of crying, he really was. It has not been a full one day he had been here, but it was as though as he already fell down to the bottom of hell. "Why me?..w-what d-did I do wrong?" He bit his trembling lower lips, trying not to make any sounds as well as feeling all frustrated. He didn't know what to do anymore. His brain are too tired to be thinking about all this mess again. How he wish he could ran away from here.
*BUZZZ*
He lifted his head upon hearing the phone vibrating against the wooden table, creating a buzzing sound. He walked towards the table at the corner of the room and looked at the phone. It was his fiance's phone that were buzzing. He wiped away his tears, wanting to take a clear look at the name appearing on the screen of the phone.
Chihiro
"C-chihiro? w-who's that?" He kept on looking at the phone ringing throughout the whole room, didn't dare to picked it up. He were afraid that if he picked the call up, his fiance would be mad at him. He didn't wanted that to happened, so he just kept staring at it, until he heard a knock on the sliding glass door in the room. He turned around in surprised, and he was indeed surprised yet again when he saw who were outside at the back garden. The figure looked at him with a smile, and make a gesture, asking for him to unlocked the door and let him in. "That g-guy!" His eyes widen when he registered the other's face inside of his brain. He would never forget that face who saved him from the molesters at the school the other day, and as well as today. He slowly approached the sliding glass door with a cautious steps and stopped two steps away from the door. He squinted his eyebrows in confused when he could saw the grey haired man's mouth were moving, but he couldn't even hear any sounds. "..I..I-I c-can't h-hear you.." He said softly, still aren't sure whether to listened to the other or not.
"Oi, open the door!" Mayuzumi kept on asking and knocking for the shorter to opened the door, but the shorter still didn't even move closer towards the door. He could saw his mouth were moving but he couldn't hear him. "Ah.. I can't hear him." He hissed in annoyed. "Open the door!" He raised his voice a bit, but still he only got a same reaction from the other, and truth to be told, he was starting to get a bit annoyed. He was already sure that his gesture are really easy to guess what he was trying to say even if the other in the inside didn't hear him. "This kid.." He let out a frustrated sigh and just before he could said something more, he could saw the boy inside were holding his hand up, as a sign asking for him to wait for a minute before he rushed towards the table at the corner. He furrowed his eyebrows when he tried to comprehend what did the other were doing, only to immediately get it when he came back holding a notebook and a pen. He then saw the other were scribbling something onto the paper, before he showed it to him.
(I can't hear you.!)
Again, he make the same gesture, asking for the other to open the door. But the only respond he get was another yet question thrown at him.
(W-who a-are you?)
Knowing that he need to do the same thing as the shorter to enable them to communicated on the same page, he unlocked his phone and click the notepad inside. His fingers move fast across the screen, typing on the keypad, the words he had been trying to say to the other.
[Open the door.]
(Why Should I? I..don't know you)
[ You know me. We meet at the school, remember? I save you from those guys the other day ]
...
[Respond to me, please!]
...
[Please just open the door, I want to talk with you.]
...
[Oi!]
(I.. can't.)
Upon reading what did Kuroko just wrote on the paper, he immediately became confused at that statement. He was really curious as to why did the younger said that when he was the one on the inside and clearly could open the door with just a single click and slide the door opened. He typed again in his phone that one word. [Why?]
(Kagami-kun will get mad at me if he saw me with you.)
"Hah?" He couldn't helped but to said that out loud. He just couldn't even get why did the other said things like that. True he knew that Kagami always the person who are short and hot tempered, but what does that have to do with those statement? He tried to linked it with those words, and he could only came out with one thing. "Ah, I get it now." He looked at the teal headed with a smirk on his face. He should have knew it just from the way that red haired were really angry when their grandfather insulted Kuroko, they way he treated him as thought as he was a fragile thing, and the most obvious part was when his cousin had no problem with saying that the person inside of the room right now is his fiance. He should have get it. "Kagami never get this serious, not even in all his past relationship."
(Are you m-mad at me?)
He let out a chuckle when he read the next question. The boy really are cute, to be honest and ,this was what probably lure Kagami to him. He shook his head before he began to mouthed his next words. He didn't wanted to communicate with the younger like this again, he wanted to talk to him directly. He saw the younger hesitated for a bit, on which he later said, [Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for later.] and after a long one minute, the shorter came closer towards the glass door and unlocked it. He immediately smiled at that.
Kuroko slowly slide opened the door carefully, trying to observed the other man on what would he probably do next. He couldn't helped but to have the thoughts of maybe the man was just lying to him and were trying to hurt him too, but when he saw the other only greeted him with a smile, the thoughts immediately go away bit by bit. Maybe the other was telling the truth. He also wouldn't doubt him that long since he already helped him two times now, and he should really thanked him properly. "Uh.."
"Hi there, sister in law."
At that sudden call, his face abruptly turned red while his eyes grew wide. "E-eh? s-sister in law?"
"You're Taiga's fiance right?"
"U-um.." He nodded shyly. He still couldn't actually let that fact sank inside of his head since.. well, they had just started their relationship after months of already being engaged with each other. So it was kind of new to him about this.
"Nice to meet you. What's your name? I have only heard Taiga call you Kuroko, but what's your full name?"
"K.. Kuroko Tetsuya.."
"Ah..what a beautiful name. Perfectly describe the person too."
Again, he could felt his cheeks turned even hotter than before. He never have gotten any compliment like that in his life. Ever. The other were the first person who said it to him, not even his fiance had said it, and somehow that fact make him a bit sad. He wanted Kagami to be all his first, he really want to. But then again, it was just some words so there are nothing for him to be that upset about. "T-thank you."
"Welcome."
"B-but.. uh.. w-why did just now you c-call me s-sister in l-law?"
"Oh, my bad. Sorry for not introducing myself. I'm Mayuzumi Chihiro, and I'm Taiga's cousin. We have a different surname because my mother are the one from the Kagami's, and therefore when she got married with my father, automatically our surname changed."
"S-so you're K-Kagami-kun c-cousin?"
"Yes. And for that sister in law part.. well, you're pretty and look kind of like a girl. I prefer it more if I called you as sister in law than brother in law. Though it really doesn't have anything matter with me, but I already thought Taiga as my younger brother."
"O..oh.. I-I see."
"Therefore, I'm gonna treat you as one too!" Mayuzumi grinned, pulling the corner of his lips as wide as possible. He could noticed how the younger were blushing, and he thought it was really cute. His eyes continued to scanned all of his cousin's beautiful fiance features up and down, only for his eyes to stopped at his neck when he spotted there was a red marks around it. "What's that marks? I'm sure it was not there before." He furrowed his eyebrows in confuse. He kept on thinking about it, but decided that he wouldn't tried to asked it since he could saw how the other actually were trying to hide those marks. He wondered, did Kagami make those marks? or it was from something else. Deciding that he would figured out later, he dropped that thought instantly when he saw how the other were fidgeting. "Why are you still standing? come on, just sit down." He said as he also sat himself on the deck.
"E-eh?"
"Keep your distance if you want, but just sit down."
"Uh..um." Kuroko nodded, before he settled down onto the wooden floor, keeping a safe distance between both of them. He didn't wanted Kagami to get mad at him later.
"So, what do you mean by that?"
"By..w-what?"
"Taiga would get mad at you if he sees you with another man."
"T-That's.. he don't really l-like it if I'm c-close to anyone."
"Anyone? Just anyone? or it apply to certain gender?"
"..."
"I take a guess, only a man isn't?"
"..."
"Right?"
"..Y-Yes." He nodded yet again.
"I see.. heh." Mayuzumi couldn't helped but to summoned out his devilish smirk when he heard that. "He's feeling jealous? that's new."
"S-so Mayuzumi-san d-do you have some business w-with Kagami-kun?"
"Hmm, why?"
"Y-you c-call him just now isn't? I'm sorry, but he are not in the room and h-he didn't bring his phone with h-him."
"I know, I can see that." Immediately after he said that, he could saw the shorter's head hung down and flushed red in embarrassment. "How cute. No wonder that guy treat him differently."
"I-I'm sorry."
Upon hearing those words, it piqued his interest even more to dug more of the engaged couple's relationship as well as tease him for his too naive personality. "Why are you apologizing on behalf of him?"
"E-eh?" Kuroko lifted his head to looked at the grey haired man at that question.
"The one who I'm trying to reach out to is him, and it's also his own fault that he didn't bring his phone along. So why you're the one apologizing though?"
"U-uh.. t-that's because.. um.."
"Because what?"
"Uh.. because it's the c-common thing to-"
"Because you're his fiance, right?"
"Eh?" He were really perplexed to get that kind of statement.
"Say, so what do you think about Taiga? what do you like about him?"
"..."
"Come on, tell me."
"I..like h-him b-because.."
They continued to have a chat for about 10 minutes, before there was heard a click and the door of the room were being swung opened. Both of them turned to looked at the door to look at who was it, and there was Kagami standing on the doorway with a pretty much annoyed look. Kuroko's eyes widen in shocked while Mayuzumi just smirked while waving his hand like it was not a big deal that he had somehow trespassing in their room.
"Yo Taiga."
"K-Kagami-kun..!" Kuroko quickly stood up from there and make his way towards his fiance with a totally scared and worried face on him. There, he could saw it again. The veins on the taller's head popped out just a bit. He knew what does that looks mean and he didn't like it. "I-I-"
"What are you doing here, Chihiro?" Instead of showing any response towards Kuroko, Kagami just ignored him as he closed the door behind of him and walked towards the deck where the grey headed are. But not before he shot a pissed off look towards his smaller fiance. He would deal with him later.
"Just coming to check up on you."
"Hah?"
"Hahaha, just kidding. But it was a bit true though? I want to have a talk with you."
"About what?"
"Stuff. Mind if it's the only two of us? let's talk outside."
"Hn." Kagami agreed to it as he took a step forward to the deck outside and pulled the sliding door close behind of him. "So what?"
"How are you?"
"Fine."
"That's good then. You also have grown up so big since I last saw you."
"Of course. It's been 5 years indeed."
"It's true."
"What is it that you actually want to talk about?"
"Well... actually there's nothing much I want to talk to you since everything I'm curious about, your fiance already had filled in the answers for me." Mayuzumi couldn't helped but to let out a smile. "He's really sweet, you know."
"Don't touch him.!"
At that, he began to laughed. "Stupid, do you think I'll take him away from you when he's so obviously in love with you? I'm not that evil."
"H-hah?"
"Keep your stuttering in you, you can confirm it with him when I'm gone after this. But if one day you throw him away, I'll definitely snatch him away from you."
"Keep your wish to yourself. I'm not gonna abandon and throw him away.!" Kagami growled, hissing at the mere thoughts of Kuroko were in someone else arms. He would never let it happened, not even once for as long as he live. Damn, even if he became a ghost later, he would never let anyone have Kuroko Tetsuya. "Don't you fucking touch him, Chihiro."
"Calm down, I was just joking. I told you I'm not the one who would break you both apart, especially not when you actually show a sincere feelings towards him."
"Tch."
"It's the first time, isn't?"
"..."
"Right?"
"Shut up."
Again, the grey haired man could only laughed at that. Totally noticed how baffled the red headed are at the fact he had just stated. "Well anyway, the things I want to ask is, do you.. know what happen to Seijurou?"
"That psycho? No. What's wrong?"
"Ah.. really.."
"..."
"Oi."
"No. It just.."
"What?"
"Nah, nothing. I guess you wouldn't know it either so I'll probably ask that kid."
Kagami could noticed how the older's voice were getting down to irritation at the mention of that particular person, though he didn't know why. He knew that the older didn't like Furihata that much, but for what reason, he didn't know. Before he could even asked what does he meant by that, the other already cut him off.
"I'll go first then. I've been here too long already." The older stood up from there, dusting his Yukata afterward. He looked up at the other and put his hand on his shoulder, patting it softly. "Don't let go of that boy, Taiga." He take a glance at the nervous boy sitting on the bed inside the room, before he looked at his cousin's face back. "Do your best in protecting him. He already had enough to take it more in his plate."
"I know, you don't have to say that. I will do it even if you didn't say it." Kagami hissed in annoyed. He knew it does not sounds right to be jealous and mad at this time, but he couldn't helped it. The older kept on mentioning his fiance in their conversation, and he didn't like that at all.
"I hope you will hold onto your words, Kagami Taiga. He deserved to have a better life."
"Tch, I told you-"
"Take a look at his neck, there's a red marks around it. You know it really well how and where did he get it if you're smart enough. It was already enough when he had to deal with those guys molesting him when you're not around, and don't let it continue even when you're around."
"Hah? What do you mean?"
"Well then, I'll be going first. It was nice talking to your fiance." With that, Mayuzumi send out another yet his charming smile before he disappeared through the back garden again, probably having a walk to the river behind to cool of his mind.
"Red marks? and what does he mean by that? how did he knew about that incident?" Kagami balled up his hands into a tight fist while gritting his teeth, trying his best to control his emotions right now. "Did he tell Chihiro about it? but why?!" He hissed yet again. He was mad, he knew that, but he wouldn't wanted to take it on Kuroko. He have to cool his mind first before he goes inside, but his effort went down the drain when he heard the glass door were being slide opened and there was a soft voice calling out for him.
"K-Kagami-kun.."
"..." Hearing the voice that he really wanted to avoid at now, it suddenly make his anger flared up. He didn't knew why, by he suddenly felt so angry towards his fiance and this are not good at all. He really didn't wanted to make his fiance even more sadder than he already was. "Ah, damn it! what should I do?!"
"..U-um.. M-Mayuzumi-san a-already go?"
Ah snap, he really didn't like that the shorter asked about his cousin. He really didn't appreciated other guy's name rolling out from his fiance tongue. He hissed as he turned around to glared at him. "Yes, why?"
"E-eh?"
"Why?"
"N-nothing.. j-just I didn't-"
"You like him?"
"H-huh?"
"I've only gone for a moment, and you're already cheating on me with another guy? Even more with my own cousin, huh Kuroko?"
"W-what are you saying Kagami-kun? I-it's not like that! Y-you-"
"I'm what huh?! It's true isn't?!"
"No!"
"Then why did you open the door for him when I'm not around? What do you think you're doing? Have you ever think the consequences of opening the door for a stranger? do you?!" He raised his voice, yelling, letting out his anger towards his fiance.
"B-But h-he's not a stranger. H-He's your c-cousin K-Kagami-kun.!"
"And what proof do you have to make sure that he's really my cousin?! Huh?! WHAT?!"
Kuroko didn't know since when did he had started crying, but the tears already streaming down his cheeks like a waterfall and his vision were all blurry. His lips were trembling in fear. He really don't like this situation at all. This was just all a huge misunderstanding. He wanted to opened his mouth to denied it and retorted the taller's words, but he couldn't even move his mouth at all right now. His heart hurt when he were being accused for cheating behind his fiance back when he clearly didn't. The taller didn't even believed in him, he didn't even trust him on his feelings towards the other.
"Why are you suddenly quiet?!"
He shook his head as a respond, still unable to bring his mouth to move. "No.. please no, Kagami-kun. I..I have only l-love you.. stop hurting me like this.." There was silence between them for about five seconds, before he heard the taller hissed in annoyed and walked passed him, walking towards the door. He turned around, his eyes still following his fiance's figure.
"You know what? Let just drop this subject. I'm not interested in it anymore."
"What's the point trying to talk with someone who's cheating behind my back."
His eyes widen in shocked at the taller's words. Unconsciously his legs started to move forward as his hands reached out, trying to grabbed onto his fiance and apologized immediately at him. "K-Kagami-kun-"
"We're going to have dinner with them." The red headed cut him off.
"W-wait for me-"
"Wear back the yukata if you don't want to get insult more in front of everyone else."
"W-wait for me K-Kagami-kun-"
"Walk by yourself to the dining room."
"W-what?" His pace stopped when the other already opened the door and walked out from the room completely ignoring him. He shook his head in fear. He didn't wanted to have a fight with his fiance, he didn't wanted to be left alone in this house and he didn't wanted to be far apart from his fiance especially in this house where all of the people treated him like a garbage. "Kagami-kun..."
...
"Kagami-kun.." He began to sobbed.
...
"..don't leave me."
...
"K-Kagami-kun.."
...
"I'm sorry.. I-I'm so sorry."
Meanwhile, outside of the room, Kagami immediately stopped his pace at the hallway after his fourth steps and leaned onto the wall. He let out a frustrated sigh as he brought his hands up and buried his face on it, massaging his nose bridge. He was tired of this cycle, he really was. Why did he always would let out his anger towards his fiance when he knew that he didn't do anything wrong in that situation. It was stupid of him to even make an assumption on what if Mayuzumi aren't his cousin, when he was pretty sure his fiance saw the other in the room before. But then again, he just couldn't helped it. He was really scared on what would happened if it was not Mayuzumi and it was someone else that intent to do something at him. He just couldn't forgive himself if that would happened to his fiance, especially not when he already heard and knew about the other's past. He couldn't think straight. "Why.. why do I always end up hurting him?" He looked to his right, where their room was and stared at it.
Of course it was not true when he said at his fiance to go to the dining room by himself, he wouldn't allowed it at all, not in this house. He knew how sly and dirty his grandfather could be to someone, and he didn't wanted to let the old man touched his fiance. It was already enough that his words alone already done enough damage at the shorter. He wouldn't allowed the other to go through another one today. So, unknown to his fiance, he did actually waited for him to get out from the room before he started his pace back.
"Akashi-sama, it's time for dinner." Furihata turned to his right to looked at the figure on the bed beside of him. He could saw the other were tossing right and left before he settled his position by showing his back to him. Seeing this, he could only let out a sigh before he walked towards the bed. He cleared his throat. "Akashi-sama."
"I don't want to eat."
"What?"
"I say I don't want to eat. Now leave me alone."
"No can do, Akashi-sama. Takeshi-sama said that you have to attend the dinner. He want all his grandsons to join him for the dinner." He said sternly, which he earn a soft sigh before the red wine headed turned around facing him.
"Do I really have to go?"
"Yes."
"..."
"Please don't skip your meal, Akashi-sama."
"..."
"And please, get ready. They're waiting for you right now. Don't make them wait for you."
"..."
"Akashi-sama-"
"Kouki, I've told you many times that don't call me by Akashi when we're alone." Akashi hissed in annoyed as he slowly began to pulled himself to sat up. "Call me by my name, Kouki."
"I'm sorry, but no. We're now in the Kagami's house, what if they heard me call you by your name? That would come out as a rude and.." Furihata throw a glance at the sorter man, before he clear his throat in unsure, trying his best not to make the other sad about it. But he knew, he have to reminded his young master that the world are cruel and could be really judgemental regarding about this sort of relationship. ".. they would get suspicious of us."
"That..." At that matter of fact statement, Akashi immediately hung his head low as his mind roamed thinking about it. He knew about that so well, especially when they are in the watch of his grandfather. That old man are really opposed to this kind of relationship, and he could already felt how hard his life would be if he knew about their relationship. Just by seeing how he acted when Kagami presented Kuroko as his fiance already answered all of it. "What should I do at this time?"
"I'm..sorry to bring this topic up, Akashi-sama." Now, please don't think about it too much." The brunette approached him and slowly pulled away the soft blanket over the other, but only to fall onto the bed when his hand were grabbed and pulled. His eyes widen in surprised at the other's action. "Akashi-sama?"
"Kouki..what... what do you think would happened?"
"Sorry?"
"To us. What.. do you think would happened to us from now on?"
He could only looked at the boy with equally sad expression on his face too. He really wanted to comforted him with encouraging words, which he knew he could do it actually, but he choose not to. They are not a child anymore, and he knew Akashi are a smart one so he would not always think of everything would end up good. He knew the discrimination that people who have a same sex relationship would get from the public. The eyes that would stared at them, the harsh words being threw at them, and the internet, the platform which would make their life even more miserable than they already have. He knew all of it, but still he wanted to protect this one and only Akashi Seijuro. He didn't wanted to hurt him in any way. "Truth to be told.. I also don't know Akashi-sama."
"..."
"I wish I know."
"I'm scared, Kouki. Just look at how Taiga's fiance were being humiliated in front of everyone else.."
"..."
"..what if t-they know about us? And what would they think of me when they knew I had been rape-"
"Stop Seijuro." He cut the other sternly. He didn't wanted to heard that. He knew how the society would treat them if they are in this kind of relationship, but he didn't wanted to make the other scared merely on just one person perspective. There might not be many, but there would still be people who supported the same sex relationship and he wanted the other to witnessed that existence as well. He sighed once again as he lifted his face up to met with the other's eyes. He reached his hand and stroked the soft heterochromatic boy's cheek as he assured him that it was all going to be okay. "Don't be scared, I'm here for you. I'll protect you with my life, Seijuro."
"Kouki.."
"Please trust me.. didn't I already said that before? I'll always protect you no matter what, Seijuro."
Akashi could felt his heart were beating faster at the brunette's words and that was making him blushing a bit, before he nodded his head, finally decided to dropped his thoughts about their future fate relationship. They only had just began, so why should he even started thinking about all these kind of things? He let out a soft smile as his hand reached up and hold onto the taller's hand on his cheek, nuzzling onto the hand. "Thank you so much, Kouki."
"Now please, get ready to join them for dinner Akashi-sama."
He couldn't helped but to let out a sigh when he heard the name the other used on him. As upset as he was, he couldn't complained about it at this time. He knew that they should kept their distance especially when they are in this house. "Fine."
*RINGRING*
"Please monitor this patient and make sure that she eat her meal three-"
*RINGRING*
"If there's something wrong with her, I need you to immediately report it to me, understand-"
*RINGRING*
"Ugh, who's calling me at this time?" Saki groaned as she walked around the table and picked up her phone that was ringing and vibrating on the wooden desk. Her eyebrows furrowed in confused as to why did her mother suddenly called her at this time. She lifted her head up and looked at the pink headed nurse, which is her assistant, and nodded to her. "Remember what I told you? do that. You can go now."
"I understand, Saki-san. I'll go now." The woman, who were slightly shorter than Saki, bowed towards her and make her way out of the room, closing the heavy modern wooden door behind of her as she leave.
As soon as the door were closed, the woman in her late 20's take a seat on her chair as she pressed the green button on her phone screen, answering the incoming call on her phone. "Hello mom, what's wrong?"
"Hi Saki. Um, are you busy, Saki?"
"No, not now. I'm taking a break now. Why?"
"Hmm.. alright then."
"Mom?"
"...Saki, are you going to visit your grandfather after this?"
"Visit him? Well, I'm planning to when I've finished my work here, but then again it depends. If I'm too tired, I'll probably just go back home and sleep."
"Hmm."
"What's wrong mom?"
"Nothing, it just.. I'm just worried about Taiga and Tetsuya."
"What to worry about? what do you mean?"
"You do know that your grandfather is a strict man right? I'm worried that what if he know about their relationship? We didn't even tell him yet and everyone else yet since they're still a high school's students. I'm sure he will be really mad and I'm worried if he will definitely ask them to-"
"Mom, listen here." She sighed. She took of her glasses and put it on her desk, before she began to massaged her nose bridge. "We already talk about this, didn't we? I know that grandpa is a strict man, but trust me, Taiga can take care of their relationship."
"But Saki, you didn't know what your grandfather are capable of! If he make up his mind on something, it will remain that way and it's almost impossible to change his mind!"
"But dad finally get to marry you, isn't?"
"That's a different story, my dear."
"What different?"
"I guess you never know, but..actually it doesn't seems like it look. Your dad and me, I mean. Your grandfather will use every things to make sure he achieve his goal, and what did he do to us was..."
Saki just closed her mouth as she leaned back on the chair, listening to her worried mother's words carefully. "Don't worry, mom. I'll call Taiga after this. I'll check on them later."
"Please, Saki."
"Yes, don't worry about it mom." She smiled and they both said their goodbye. She hung up her phone and once again let out a sigh. She looked at the time on her phone, and it was already 8:11 PM in the evening. "I didn't realized that it's already this late." She put her phone down on the desk and pulled her shift timetable schedule from the corner of her desk. She flipped the paper page by page to looked at her schedule, only to find that if it was according to it, she didn't have any patients left for her to check on and her round up trip also already done. "Well.. should I call them right now? but I'm hungry."
"Is everyone here yet?" The old man cleared his throat, as his eyes scanned all over the room. He noticed there was one seat were empty and he frowned at that. He knew too well whose still not here yet.
"Taiga-sama is not here yet, Takeshi-sama." Chiyo bowed her head as she placed a bowl of soup on the table, in front of the older.
"Where is he? doesn't he know how to respect the elder?!"
"Perhaps he's using the bathroom, Takeshi-sama." Cynthia tried to reasoned with the old man, covering for her ex-boyfriend. Right after she said that, Kagami's figure could be seen entering the dining room. Immediately there was a smile on her face. "There he is."
"Taiga-sama, please have a seat." Miaka showed where the empty seat was.
"Why is there only one seat left?"
"Well, there's only you left isn't?"
"What?" Kagami turned to glared at the girl, refused to sit on that one chair.
"It's true, isn't? there's no one else other than you who aren't seated yet."
"What about Kuroko-"
"Who's Kuroko? Oh, that queer?"
"Watch your mouth, Cynthia!"
"Keep quiet both of you!" The elder slammed the table in anger, feeling really annoyed at the ruckus on the table. He hissed, but his eyes looked straight at his red headed grandson. "Look around you, Taiga! do you know only for whom the seat was?"
At that elder's words, Kagami looked around the room and he was really pissed off when he could clearly saw all are already presented and seated on each of the chair, except for the grey headed, since the elder had never been fond of him even though he was in a Kagami's family. He never knew why did the elder didn't like him, and why did his cousin hate the old man so much since he was little. Even Furihata were already seated beside Akashi, so why did only his fiance's seat are the only one aren't available? He turned back to glared at his grandfather. "Are you mocking me?"
"Am I? I'm not."
"What?"
"The chairs are only for those who deserved it, not for a whore like that disgusting creature!" The elder raised his voice as he pointed towards the figure standing right at the entrance of the dining room.
He followed where did the older pointed at, and his eyes widen in surprised to see his fiance already stood there like a statue. He could saw how trembling Kuroko's body were and at how shocked the other are. Seeing this, it only make his anger flared up. He already had enough of the old man humiliating his fiance in front of everyone else. "Shut your mouth, old man. He also deserved to sit in these chair! The one who didn't deserved it is that bitch over there!"
"Mind your language, young man!"
"Stop insulting my fiance then!"
"You don't speak to me like that!"
"Or what?!"
"You really test my patience, Taiga." The old man gritted his teeth, trying to held back his anger.
"Tch!" Kagami hissed loudly before he walked towards Kuroko and grabbed onto his wrist. He could saw his fiance's shocked expression at his actions, but he paid no attention to it as he turned back to looked at the other servants who were standing alongside the wall. "Bring our dinner to our room, now!"
"Stop where you are, young man!"
"If Kuroko aren't going to sit with us, then keep on dreaming. I'm not gonna allowed you to belittle him anymore." He spatted. His anger could clearly seen reflected in his eyes, a fiery flame that was dancing inside the red orbs. "Come on, Kuroko." He dragged the other back to their room. But before they could even take another step further, there was a hard, harsh tug on Kuroko's arms. Before he knew it, there was three bulky man in black suit dragged his fiance away from him while there was two on his side, holding onto him tightly, preventing him to move. "KUROKO!"
"KAGAMI-KUN!"
The two man that were seated at the dining table eyes widen in shocked at the scene they are seeing right now. They couldn't believed their eyes on what was happening right before their eyes. In between the commotion, Akashi could felt his heartbeat were beating fast as his body trembled hard. He was really scared right now seeing what happened at both Kagami and Kuroko. Furihata, being the one who would always throw glances towards his young master, he could noticed how the shorter were trembling in his seat. He had always knew that the red wine headed are not one to enjoyed violence, despite his nature to picked on others. Knowing that he should comforted the other, immediately he reached his hand under the table and hold onto the other's sweaty one. They exchanged looks with each other, one with a worried expression while the other tried to comforted him.
"YOU FUCKER! DON'T TOUCH HIM!"
"Kagami-kun! Help me!"
"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING WITH HIM?! DON'T TOUCH HIM!" Kagami yelled at the top of his lungs, as he tried to struggled to get out from the buff man's hold. "LET ME GO!"
"You old man, what are you trying to do?!" He barked at the elder, glaring at him as though as he would really killed him if only he were not being held this firmed.
"I've warn you, Taiga. You're the one who start this." The old man hissed, before he looked at Chiyo and nodded his head, sending her the signal. Noticing the man's sign, she bowed her head before she could be seen the dining room and followed where the three man dragged Kuroko to. He then looked back to glared at all the people presented there. "Everyone are not allowed to leave this room. Don't even think of leaving your seat." He said sternly.
As soon as he ended his words, the two man that were holding onto Kagami, dragged him back towards his seat and forced him to sit on it. He kept on trying to get out from these guy, but it was completely futile when his hands were being handcuffed onto the rest arm. He growled. "Let me go, damn it!" He kept on cursing at both of them, totally didn't noticed when did they took out those handcuffs.
"Taiga, please calm down." Cynthia looked towards the red headed direction in worried while she tried to calmed the anger man with her sweet words, but the only respond she got was an insult.
"Shut up, bitch!"
"T-Taiga!" She gasped in disbelief, over making her reaction at the three words the other just uttered. She purposely did that, so that the elder would even take his rage at him. It was not like she like it when the tall man get punished or what, but she wanted to see the face the other would make when he saw what would happened at his so called fiance. She wanted to see both of them suffered, she really wanted to see that expression on both of their face. Especially on the teal blue haired boy. She didn't knew what did the old man were thinking of, and she also were curious about the old man plan.
Just before Kagami Takeshi could even said something, there was a loud noise interrupting them from the outside. All turned their heads to looked at what was it from the already opened shoji doors, only to have everyone gasped and their eyes widen as though as their eyes would popped out from its socket. On the outside, there could be seen a small petite figure with a sky blue hair were being blindfolded while he was crying for mercy.
"KUROKO!" Kagami shouted his fiance's name in frantic as his eyes bulge in shocked when he saw the other were being forced to undressed, leaving him with nothing to cover himself with. Not even his undergarment. He balled up his hands into a tight fist as he screamed at the top of his lungs, feeling so frustrated right now that he couldn't do anything aside from watching. And his heart break even more when he heard those heartbreaking pleas and noticed how his fiance's face were now wet with tears.
"P-please, l-let go of me.." Kuroko pleaded, trying his best to struggled, but he knew he were no match for the three buff man. He kept on calling for Kagami's name again and again, wanting his fiance to save him from these guys. He was really scared when his clothes were being ripped off from his body and leave him naked in the middle of outside. He could make it he were outside because he could felt how the grass were poking onto his bare feet. "Ka-Kagami-kun.."
"It was useless calling for him. He won't save you."
" .. K-Kagami-kun w-will save me!"
"Hah, says the one who were sitting on the chair and watching you from the inside with a smirk on his face."
His eyes widen hearing one of the man's statement. His heart throbbed in pain when he heard it, but he knew that his fiance are not like that. They already make love with each other yesterday and they also already make a progress into their relationship much more deeper than before. He wouldn't believed that. He shook his head. "Y-You're a liar! Kagami-kun is not like that!"
"You can't see, so you don't know."
"Yeah, he's enjoying himself watching you suffer."
The three man laughed before they dragged Kuroko towards the large pear tree and tied him onto the tree, keeping his hands onto his side. They make sure to tied him tight enough, before Chiyo came with a jar on her hands. "Move aside."
"Yes, Chiyo-san."
Chiyo looked at the poor boy and couldn't helped but to let out an evil smile. She are not the one who enjoyed punishing other people, but it was an exception for this. She didn't know why but she didn't like the boy, and what's more, he is the young master Taiga's fiance? She couldn't accepted it. "Suits you." She whispered, before she looked down at the jar and stirred the brush inside of it, before she started to spread it onto the boy's body. She make sure to pour all of it and put it especially more onto the younger's inner thighs, closer at his private area.
"W-what are you doing? w-what did you just-"
"It was honey."
"H-honey-"
"With a lot of sugar mix in it."
"W-what?" Kuroko began to felt uneasy hearing it.
"Ah, look the red ants are here."
Before he could even let out another words, he could felt something began to climbed on top of him and were roaming on his body. Seconds by seconds he could felt the amount was multiplying, before it began to bit onto him. Instantly he screamed in pained. "Ahhh! I-it's hurt! Kagami-kun, help me!" He cried. It was really hurt. "Kagami-kun!"
"Fuck! Kuroko! Damn it, what are you doing?! STOP IT!"
"Everyone, ignore the commotion outside and let's start eating before the foods come to waste." All heads turned to looked at the elder that was sitting at the end of the table in disbelief. "Miaka, please close the doors."
"Yes, Takeshi-sama." The girl nod her head while she goes to closed the shoji doors, and couldn't helped but to smirked when her eyes landed on the boy's figure outside.
"YOU DAMN OLD FUCKER!"
The atmosphere in the dining room were really tense, that there was not even one person dare to said anything, except for Kagami who kept on calling for Kuroko's name and cursing his grandfather. Touru, being the reserved one, decided to stand up from there only to give an excuse that she needed to go to the toilet, bringing her pouch with her. After she had passed the dining room, she immediately faster her pace up and go towards where the house phone was, and looked into the contact list book for that someone before she quickly go into the bathroom and locked the door behind of her. She was really glad that there was no one there that could saw her. She quickly put her pouch onto the sink's counter and started to rummaged for her phone. She unlocked the phone and instantly punched the number she had memorized it just now. She knew that this person was Kagami Taiga's sister, but it was only that. She didn't knew her personally. The reason on how she got her contact number was because her family wouldn't just agreed to let her get married with someone before checking their background even when she was supposed to get married with Akashi Seijuro. "Please pick it up."
*RING*RING*
After the second ring, she finally get connected with the said person.
"Hello, who's this?"
"Kagami Saki, right?"
"Yes. Who are you?"
"We're short on time right now, so just listen to me. I'm at the Kagami's residence, your grandparents house, and I really need for you to come here as quickly as you can."
"Hah? why are you there? and why should I-"
"Please, just listen to me!" Her voice unintentionally raised, making her turned towards the door, waiting if someone will knock on the door or not, but there was none. She went back to the phone. "Just believe on my words, this is about your brother and a person name Kuroko. Please.!"
"What?! How do you know Taiga? and what happen to them?!"
"I can't talk too long, I must get going. So just please, come. It would be better if you come here without driving your car because I'm sure your brother can't drive after this."
"Hah, what do you mean by that?"
"Please believe me and just come. I'll end the call now, and don't call me back." She quickly hanged up and kept her phone back inside her pouch. She looked at herself into the mirror with a horror expression. She gulped her saliva in nervous. "This family is a mess."
(15 minutes later)
"Ah, it's already getting late, I should head back." The grey headed stood up from the ground and dust away the dirt on his yukata, before he began to turned around and walked back towards the house. In the amidst of his walk, he could hear something in the distance. "What's that voice?" Mayuzumi stopped his pace when he suddenly heard someone was screaming. He was just going to ignored it, when he sudden;y remembered this familiar voice and tone. "Why did it sounds similar with him?" He furrowed his eyebrows in confused. "Should I check on it?" He asked himself and decided that he should have a go at it. He was just going to used the back road that lead directly towards his room, but he decided to changed his way when he heard the cries.
As soon as he reached the front way, he continued his pace to take a round the pond that he was sure was at the dining room, and his eyes widen in shocked at the scene he were looking right now. He could saw Kuroko were naked, blindfolded and tied onto the pear tree, crying in pain as there was red marks all over his body which some of it already turned into bruises. "Oh my God..." His body trembled in disgusted at the person's doing. Which he knew just who was behind of all this.
"K-Kagami-kun... Kagami-kun.."
"Kuroko.. KUROKO! Let me go, damn it..!"
He could hear how hoarse the shorter's voice has become while calling for his cousin's name while the other also were begging desperately. He gritted his teeth in anger and balled up his hands as he goes towards where the hurting pale boy was. He could only looked away the moment he came closer at the said boy, when he could clearly saw all the bruises. He looked around for something, and his eyes caught the water hose. He took it and turned the tap on, before he goes back towards the shorter. "What did he do to deserve all of this.." He held back his tears that was threatening to fall down. "Hey, Kuroko it's me, Chihiro."
"M-Mayuzumi-san?"
"Em. Listen, I'm gonna pour the water on you to wash away those ants, okay?" He asked, and he got a weak nod as an answer. He kept on spraying the water until all the ants fell down from his body while making his ears deaf on the other's cries. He didn't knew how long did it take for all the ants to disappeared, but one thing he knew that Kuroko was now wet from head to toes and his body are full of red bruises all over his body. After he was done with it, he quickly untied the ropes and instantly Kuroko's body fell onto the ground, weeping. Seeing this, he immediately took off his yukata and put it over the other, and took of his blindfold. He didn't mind since he are wearing a shirt and pants underneath his yukata. He never like to wear yukata with a bare skin, since his skin are sensitive.
"Kagami-kun.. Kagami-kun.."
"Hey, can you stand up?" He hold onto the shorter and helped him to stand on his feet before he slowly lead their way into the house. "We'll get inside okay?" And almost instantly he got a fierce shook and the boy beside of him stopped his legs.
"No..no, I don't wanna go inside!"
"But-"
"No, I don't want it! I-it's scary.." Kuroko shook his head a he began to cried again. "..Kagami-kun. I want Kagami-kun.."
"I know, I know you don't want to go inside back, but Taiga is inside, right?"
"..."
"I'll protect you okay? We'll find Taiga and then we'll get out from this house, okay?" He waited, but he didn't get any replies. He tried to continued back their pace and the other also began to followed his steps which he was really glad of it. They make their way onto the front door and entered the house. He carefully looked around, trying to looked if there was someone nearby, but there was none. He let out a relieved sigh, before he continued their pace back. He admit it was strange that there was no on around, but his feeling immediately rest assured when he heard some voices at the main room. "Now where are you Taiga.."
"Kuroko... Kuroko.."
Kuroko's stopped his legs when he swore he could heard his fiance's voice were calling out for him from the dining room. He looked at the room, but the door were closed. He doubted his fiance are there, but when he could heard that voice again, he immediately move towards the dining room on his own, making Mayuzumi startled with his action, but nevertheless followed where did the boy went. He pushed the door open, only for his eyes to widen in shocked when he saw Kagami were handcuffed onto the chair. "K-Kagami-kun!" He quickly make his way towards his fiance as best as he could with his current condition, and he immediately turned nausea at the sight in front of him. The taller's wrist were bleeding badly and the blood were still oozing out from the cut. The smell of the blood that were hitting at his nose sharply, and the colour of the redness, really are not a sight he like to see.
"Kuroko?" Kagami turned his head to looked at his fiance and the tears he had been held in finally dropped onto his cheeks, down to his lap. He was so relieved to saw his fiance, but when his eyes caught the bruises, he could felt his blood boiling up at that. It was all his fault that his fiance are like that.
"Taiga!" Mayuzumi's mouth opened wide when he saw what happened at his cousin. No wondered he was no where to be found when he was being handcuffed onto the chair. Seeing another yet cruel scene in front of him, really added the fuel to his already burning heart. By just looking at the hard heart Kagami was letting his tears out carelessly like this when he was with Kuroko Tetsuya, he already knew how much his fiance meant to him. It was also the same for the shorter, he could just saw the way how both of them looked into each other eyes. "Tch, damn that old geezer!" As much as he wanted to charged at the old man, he knew it was not a good idea to do that at all. He was scared on what would happened to Akashi if he did something foolishly. He wouldn't let the elder touched the heterochromatic man at all, he would never allowed it to happened. Besides, right now he also need to helped his red headed cousin free from those handcuffs. "Taiga, do you know where the keys are?"
"Chihiro.. you're the one who save Kuroko?"
"Yes, and now can you please don't ask anymore question? You can ask later, but not now. Now we have to get away those handcuffs from you."
"Yeah."
"So? do you know where the keys?"
"I.. I don't know.."
"Tch. It's okay, I'll start looking for it."
"Well well, looking for the keys kids?"
All turned their head towards the source of the voice. It was one of the man that were holding onto Kagami just now, and he were showing the keys at them with a smirk on his face. His eyes then move towards Kuroko and he whistled. "Look at that poor beautiful body are covered in bruises."
"Shut up, asshole! Don't look at him!" Kagami growled.
"Hey hey, are you sure want to talk that loud? what if the others heard it? It will be really hard for you guys."
"Tch!"
"Now, now how about that short guy come here and serve me? Heard he like man, and I bet his mouth will just fit perfectly with my cock."
"The fuck?!"
"Taiga, slow down your voice."
"I swear to crush your face if I free from here.!"
"Try your best then-"
All of the sudden there was someone knocked the man's head from behind, making the tall buff man fell flat on the floor, before there was a familiar figure entered the dining room.
"S-Saki nee san!"
"Taiga, Kuroko what happened to you?!" Saki's eyes widened in shocked looking at both of the boys state.
"Grab the keys, nee-san!"
"O-okay." She bend down and grabbed the key, before she goes towards her brother and started to unlocked the handcuffs. She admitted that she couldn't helped but winced when she saw how her brother's wrist already bleeding and her brother in law's body were full with bruises. "Are you okay?"
Feeling that he was not needed at this time, Mayuzumi excuse himself to dragged the man unconscious body to the side and stepped out from the room, keeping an eyes on which in case there were someone around. He looked to his left and right several times, and when he could confirmed that there was no one, he let out a relief sigh. But before he could be be relaxed, there was a sudden voice from his left which make him startled. He turned towards that person and his eyes once again, widened in surprised. "Y-you!" He gritted his teeth in anger. "What do you want? are you going to tell them about us?!"
"What? tell about what?" Touru huffed. "I'm not gonna meddle with this troublesome family."
"Then what do you want?"
"Here, take this." She handed the grey headed two car keys, which was one of it was his and the other one were Kagami's. "You better get out from this house as soon as possible." She bowed towards him, before she walked out from the front door. But before she could close the door, she turned back and looked at him. She brought one of her hand up and used her pointy finger, placing it in front of her lips. "Don't tell anyone that I'm the one who give you that." She huffed once again before she finally went out.
"Tch, whatever. We have to get out from here." Before he could turned around and called for the Kagami's, they already on the way out from the room. He looked at the woman and handed her Kagami's car keys. "Here nee-san, Taiga's car key."
"Thank you Chihiro-kun." Saki bowed towards the younger, before she looked at both of the injured boys. "Come on, let's go right now." She leaded the way, asking for her brother to be careful with carrying his fiance in his arms. She had insist for him not to do that since his wrists were injured, but being the stubborn he was, he ignored her words and decided to do it despite of his injuries. After making sure that they both are okay, she looked at te other boy. "Chihiro-kun, aren't you going to go back too?"
"It's okay, you can go first nee-san. You need to tend to both of their injuries."
"What about you?"
"I brought my own car, and I have to get Seijurou too. He's still inside."
"But-"
"It's okay. Just go."
"Saki nee-san, go and help Chihiro to get Seijurou and Furihata out from this house as well." Kagami said, and that make the woman turned her attention towards him. "Please. Chihiro already help me save Kuroko and I want to do the same for him. Now give me the car key."
Noticing how serious did Kagami looked like at this moment, Saki just sighed as she agreed with him. "Fine. Wait for me in the car, I'll be the one driving." She handed him the car key.
"I know. And can you get our things from the room as well?"
"Yeah. Now wait for me in the car while I'll help Chihiro-kun."
(Inside the car)
After getting inside the car and putting Kuroko at the back seat, Kagami then started the engine and turned on the air condition, making sure that his fiance could felt it. He get out from the driver's seat and close the door, before he joined his fiance at the backseat. They both looked at each other without saying any words, both didn't knew what to say. Their eyes stared into each other as though as they didn't see each other for so long, trying to conveyed their feelings with each other. They kept on doing it, until Kuroko finally the one to broke the silence.
"You..hurt yourself, Kagami-kun." Kuroko move his eyes downward at the taller's hands and grabbed onto it, holding it carefully, not wanting to make his fiance hurt. "You're bleeding."
"..."
"You shouldn't struggle too much, Kagami-kun.."
"..."
"Now look at this.."
"..."
"What if you broke your-" His words were being cut off when Kagami suddenly pulled him into his embrace and held him tight, stroking his hair. "K-Kagami-kun.."
"Why.."
"H-hurm?"
"Why are you worrying about me when it was you who the one held more pain than me?!"
"...!" His eyes widen at that words while his heart suddenly started to overflowed with sadness and pain when he heard that. Getting the stroke on his hair only make it worse before he let down his wall and broke down into harsh sobbing. He had been waiting for so long for his fiance to held him back, and when the other does, he just couldn't held back his feelings anymore. He knew he needed this touches, he knew himself. Only his fiance are the only one who had this effects on him. "Kagami-kun.." He brought up his arms and wrapped it around his fiance tightly, afraid of being away from the taller anymore. "It's hurt, Kagami-kun.. i-it's hurt."
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Kuroko.." Kagami apologized, while his tears began to formed in his eyes before it rolled down onto his cheeks. "I'm really so sorry.."
"I-I thought you w-won't come and save me.."
"I'm sorry..."
"I thought their words are real.." Kuroko sniffed. ".. I thought you really won't save me and-"
"I'm so sorry that I couldn't protect you, Kuroko."
"I'm scared.. I was really scared if you had come to dislike me and-"
"No.. no, don't ever think that. I would never hate you, Kuroko.."
"I'm so-so scared.."
"I'm sorry for being so weak that I can't even save you.."
"No.." He shook his head in disagree. "You were also suffering inside, s-so don't say that.. "
"..."
"I can hear your voice calling my name.. and just that, I know that y-you're protecting me.."
"Why.. is he so kind? why didn't he ever blame me for something that truly was my fault?"
"It's hurts Kagami-kun.. my body.. it's burning so much. It's hurting more right now.."
"I know, I know.."
"It's hurt!"
"Shh.. we'll get home soon and Saki would treat you, okay? I will make sure that she will tend to you." Kagami assured and comforting his trembling fiance as his hands kept on stroking the other's hair and back simultaneously, while he leave a butterflies kiss all along his fiance's nape. "I'll check on every inches of your body when we get home.."
"B-but-"
"Please. I want to see what did they do at what's mine."
"..."
"Please, Kuroko."
"E-em.." Kuroko just nodded.
"I really won't forgive them for this."
Just then, the door on the driver's seat were being pulled opened, before Saki sat on it. She quickly closed the door and locked it. She turned to her left, making sure the three boys also already safe in the other car, before she pressed the pedal and drive them out from the house. "Tch, mom's words are true." She hissed in anger as her hands gripping tightly onto the steering wheel. "That old man.!"
A/N: Hey there everyone! It's been a long time, isn't? I've missed you~ How are you? So everyone, here's an update for you! ^^ I'm so sorry for updating late since I actually having a bit conflict in the middle of the story since I can't decide what would happened at both our couple, Kagami and Kuroko. I kept on having different ideas on how it would be with Kagami's grandfather plan. And trust me, having so many different ideas of it are really not good when you have to think what would happened next and next and so on. I almost wanted to delayed on updating it even further, but I decided that I've already delayed it for so long. I was supposed to updated this story on May, but I didn't, which I'm really sorry. The reason are just like I said (those conflicts are hurting my brain), and probably because I've started enjoying too much Thailand's BL series already. xD Hahahaha..! I'm so sorry. Please forgive me..*bowing* but you can scold me too, if you want because I deserved it, I guess. Anyway, back to the story, how was it? is it good? please leave lots of reviews ^^ And as always, I'm sorry for my bad grammars and if there's any typos and mistakes. (I'm not good at english,smh seriously.) I'l edit it later. For the next update, I'll try to update it faster, but I can't say much on when it would be, but I'll try okay? 'Till then, let's meet again at the next chapter! Take care~ ^^
