Hello the author here. I was really going to leave this story because I am not feeling it anymore, but then I read the reviews and I am like "I can't do that" then I convinced myself to give it another shot and here I am writing another bad chapter. ^_^ thanks for the reviews makes me feel much confident.
By the way to Imaginewho- I want to say yes Nash is different in this story but not so much as to be like you changed Nash completely. In his description it says the guy is nice off the court, he is polite and all but inside the court he is crazy. Also thank you for the reviews.

"I bet Akashi-kun will call tomorrow"
" Good morning Tetsuya" mother cheerfully calls out my attention from the dining room as she places the plates on the table. I walk over to her and take a seat on the first chair I touched. "Someone called today"
Breakfast went on like usual. There wasn't much to talk about so we stayed quiet and ate in peace. After eating mother went over to the house phone and handed me a paper with a phone number on it.
Gently I take the piece of paper in my hands and on the other my phone lies. I take a deep breath and start to dial the phone number.
Not even after 3 rings a rather calm voice answers sending a smile into my face immediately.
"How nice of you to call me back, Tetsuya" an overly recognizable voice answers. Silently I adjust myself in the bed and place my back in the wall.
"Hello, Akashi-kun" a smile creeps into my face for an unknown reason.
"Tell me, why did you not inform me of such actions" he speaks with a gentle voice but since I've known him for a while I can tell he is in a terrible mood.
"I just didn't know how to tell you, guys" I don't lie because I know he can detect it. He can always tell when I am lying and for some reason I like it when he notices well most of the time I do.
"Tetsuya, why did you move" for once it seems Akashi-kun does not have information about the situation so that means he doesn't have the power. I wonder what is happening usually he knows everything but today he seems off.
"Well my mother and I made a promise back when I was in middle school. That when I become the best player in Japan I would need to come to live with her" I say slowly for him to heard and understand me.
"Is that why you tried so hard?" he asks with a lot of curiosity.
"Yes" I simply say.
"Tetsuya, are you hiding something?" his voice pierces through my thoughts. "No".
I lie.
" Are you sure?" I picture him sitting down in a chair raising an eyebrow in doubt.
"No" I say dryly.
"Tell me what is bothering you?"
"I wanted to see you smile the most" the words escape my mouth catching me off guard. When I notice my mistake I burry my face in the pillows next to me.
"What?" his voice raises a little making me flinch out of surprise.
"N…. Never mind"
"Nonsense, tell me what you said Tetsuya- "before he could say anything else I grab the little courage I have at the moment and hang up in his face. "Now he is going to be mad, why did I have to go and say such an embarrassing thing"
Ding Dong
The bell rings and my heart jumps." Oh no is it Akashi" I say hugging my pillow. I know Akashi has the money and all of that so the chances that its him are very high. Or am I going crazy?
"Maybe I should get that" I walk out of my room and look around the living room and kitchen for a sign of my mother but she is nowhere to be found. "Did she go out"
Once I reach the door, I take a small peak through the door hole to find someone that makes me feel excitement.
"Hello again Kuroko" a pleasant voice speaks up from the door. Taking a step back I find myself staring right into golden eyes.
"Gold-kun, what are you doing here?" my voice comes out higher than usual. Gold smirks and I can't help but feel a weird sensation in my stomach forming up.
"Came to see if you were enjoying your first few days here in New York just fine." He leans forward placing a hand in the door frame. The man towers over me making me feel a bit nervous.
"Of course, me and my mother went out to eat in a very nice restaurant. she introduced me to some of her friends. Then I met this pretty nice girl who seems to love the color blue because she kept touching me and trying to hold a conversation with me-
"Why did you stop?" he asks with a lot of curiosity. I look up at him and lock my eyes in his. The longer I stare the hotter my cheeks get. Then a small noise breaks through my thoughts. When I look behind Gold a small cat passes by a trash can. "I... I thought I was boring you. I shouldn't have said so much…"
"On the contrary I love listening to what you have to say" he smiles and I return it. We decide to walk inside the house because standing out here would only bring attention to us.
"Are you sure?" doubtful I question him again. I worried because I don't want to bore him. But I wonder, why do I feel so free spirited when I am near him.
"Silly of course, plus I came to keep you company" we walk inside the apartments and once I enter nigou come out of god knows where barking at me or at Gold.
"Nigou, what's wrong?" surely he is not barking at either of us because he has met Gold before. Again he barks but this time loud, was he hungry? Was he tired? No, no mother had given him food and he then went to sleep.
"Hmm, what is it" I cross my arms trying to think of a reason why nigou was acting so strange. When the small dog starts running around the house and chewing on his toy it hit me. Turning around I bump into Golds broad chest hurting my nose.
"Ouch, um sorry" I caress my nose and look up to Gold who doesn't seem bothered by it. "No problem, just be careful"
He places his hand in my shoulder when I feel his touch I pull away fast. For a moment that I steal a glance I could see some disappointment in his eyes. "Um, Gold-kun is it okay if we go to a nearby park?"
"Sure, a few streets away from here is a pretty nice park with a dog area"
"Great" I leave him in the middle of my living room while I go to my room and start to change into some black jeans just like Gold and wear a red shirt. Gold was simply dressed in some tight black jeans that suited him well and a long sleeve grey shirt and a black sweater. I grab nigou and head out with gold who seems more than happy to take us to the park.
All along nigou just wanted to get out of the house to play around. The small dog was very active just like Kuroko.
"Hey, want some ice-cream?" I ask kuroko who focuses on throwing the small dog a rubber ball. He shifts his gaze and looks at me with his innocent blue eyes. Everything about this boy seemed to draw my attention to him. Last night in had a hard time getting his imagine off my head. "I guess"
"Okay, what flavor" I ask making a small joke. Kuroko looks at me with disappointed eyes which made me quickly regret it. "Kidding, one vanilla and one chocolate" I laugh a little trying to cheer him up and luckily it did because he returned the laugh.
His laugh was gentle, for a few seconds I closed my eyes taking in the nice sound before I snap my eyes open and awkwardly walked across the street to a deli store.
"How much" I bring the two cups of ice-cream in the counter and ask the Arabic man the price. He doesn't seem to notice who I am because he just tells me "5" with a monotonous voice. I take the ice cream and head to the park. "Here you go."
"Thanks" he takes the ice cream in both of his hand shyly. Ugh he affecting me in a weird way. I open the ice cream to only find myself sending a slap to my forehead in realization.
"Crap, I forgot the spoons" getting up once more I head back to the store and got a bag of plastic spoons. When I sit back down next to kuroko, the boy starts laughing. "You are a funny guy, Gold-kun" he says sending a genuine smile into my face.
We ate our ice cream in peace, when I was about to get up to throw away my empty cup in the garbage I look over to kuroko to see if he had finished but the cup was still half full.
"Oh Kuroko, you got some vanilla in your cheek" I reach for it and clean it off with my thumb. That must have surprised him because when he looks at me his face is completely red. Realizing that I have just touched him out of my own will I back away and hurry up to the trash can. "Shit, that was stupid of me to do…"
Now surely he is going to be mad at me for touching him without permission. Maybe I should stay away from him for a while so I can cool down. Indeed, this little guy is having a negative oh hell a positive effect on me.
Kuroko POV
"Oh Kuroko, you got some vanilla in your cheek" gold voice speaks from behind me making me shift my eye from nigou that play in the dirt with some new friends. When I am about to completely turn my head around gold finger runs through my cheek and wipes off some vanilla. Then out of nowhere he licks his thumb making me turn red embarrassment. He must have thought I am weird for reacting such away because he rushed to what seems the trash can.
"What on earth" I feel my whole body turn red at the scene playing at the back of my head. Now how am I supposed to face Gold without him thinking I am weird or something.
Akashi POV
"Yes, yes… yes" I answer all of Ryota's questions. By the 4th question my min started to wonder back at Tetsuya's words. He has said he wanted to see me smile the most. That made me feel special in a good way. Even if that made me feel better the fact that tetsuya has left japan and gone to America makes me feel bitter on the inside.
"Akashicchi, are you even listening?" Ryota's voice breaks through my head. If it wasn't for him contacting me and telling me about Tetsuya's parting, then I would not have found out.
"Yes, Ryota... Tetsuya and I talked and yes I am going to America" I smirk at the excitement in his voice. Now tetsuya I am going to get you and this time for sure I am going to take you and make sure you don't leave my side.
Until the next chapter!
