Blue. Blue. Blue. Everything is blue. It's so blue. The eyes, the hair, so blue. I need him. I want him. The boy with blue eyes will be mine.
Crimson eyes glowed in the darkness as the boy with hair of fire ran to find him. He was desperate. He needed to find the boy of blue, he needed to keep him by his side. He didn't know why, but ever since he was born, he was obsessed.
Akashi Seijuro went out every night in search of the boy with blue hair and blue eyes. He would examine every blue haired boy closely to see if he was the one in his dreams. But none of them satisfied him.
They were all normal. They weren't even close to being him.
The redhead would chew his fingernails from the stress. He needed to find him. He just had to. Akashi continued through his stressful days until a transfer student arrived at his high school.
A delicate frame, short blue hair and blue eyes; Kuroko Tetsuya. Seventeen years old, lived in the country but moved to the city for his parents had to relocate because of their job. Currently lives alone and is generally calm. Akashi stared at the boy as he introduced himself politely.
The blue haired boy took a seat beside Akashi and looked straight ahead. He didn't seem like the person who wanted to make friends.
The redhead kept an eye on Kuroko. Everywhere the blue haired boy went, the redhead was close behind. The obsession that haunted him was finally right in front of Akashi and he had absolutely no idea how to react.
The redhead's emotions were a mess, all he knew was that he needed Kuroko. He needed him by his side forever.
By the end of the day, Akashi knew almost every detail about Kuroko's personality. By the end of the week, Akashi knew everything about Kuroko's life. The redhead decided to just go with the flow. Whatever he did to Kuroko would happen by itself. Akashi wanted to possess the blue haired boy. He wanted everything. He wanted to talk with him, touch him, kiss him and to love him.
After two weeks, Akashi created a plan. That night, the redhead awoke at exactly one in the morning. He snuck out of his apartment and walked to where Kuroko lived. Akashi thanked the heavens that the blue haired boy lived alone as he was prepared to steal him away. The redhead and Kuroko had become good friends over the past few days as they had every class and club together so knowing details about the blue haired boy wasn't hard.
Akashi had even been to Kuroko's house a few times before and like the smart redhead he was, he memorized everything about the blue haired boy's apartment as well.
The redhead slowly opened the window to Kuroko's room and lightly stepped into the darkness.
The blue haired boy's small form was curled on his bed as he continued to sleep peacefully. The moonlight beamed into the room and covered Kuroko's body. His blue hair shined in the light making it look silver and his pale skin seemed to glow.
Akashi's own eyes glowed at the sight of Kuroko. The redhead slowly moved closer to see that the blue haired boy slept without a shirt on. Akashi's fingers reached to brush over that beautiful skin but he quickly pulled away when Kuroko moved onto his other side.
The redhead winced in pain when he noticed small marks on the blue haired boy's back. Thirty-six marks traveled across Kuroko's shoulders and spine. Akashi gasped as pain continued to enshroud his head and he felt for the thirty six marks on his own back.
What is this? What is he to me? Who are we? Akashi thought to himself in complete confusion.
The redhead shrank to the warm carpet on the blue haired boy's floor and waited for the pain to pass. Once Akashi recovered, he stood up and approached the bed once more. The redhead pulled a mask over his face so Kuroko wouldn't identify him for now and then popped a pill into his own mouth to melt it a bit.
Akashi moved lightning fast. He climbed onto Kuroko, covered his mouth and made sure he couldn't move.
The blue haired boy's eyes snapped open and he tried to scream, but Akashi leaned forward and sealed Kuroko's lips with his own. The redhead pushed the pill into the blue haired boy's mouth and waited.
Kuroko's eyes were filled with fear but eventually his blue eyes closed as he fell into a peaceful slumber. The blue haired boy thought,
Red...Everything is so red. Crimson, roses, blood, everything...red. I need to look for the red haired boy. And then, everything was black.
Akashi grabbed a t-shirt from Kuroko's closet and then carried him back to his apartment. Kidnapping the blue haired boy wasn't exactly the ideal plan, but it was efficient.
The redhead gently placed Kuroko on his bed and tied his wrists to the bed posts. Akashi wrapped a blindfold over the blue haired boy's eyes so that the redhead's identity can remain a secret for now. Then the redhead sat down by the bed and waited. He simply waited for Kuroko to wake up. He had no clue what he was doing, his hands trembled, but what was done was done and Akashi had to face the consequences.
When the blue haired boy awoke, the first thing he tried to do was move. He jolted awake and struggled against the restraints.
"I see you're awake." Akashi muttered.
Kuroko opened his mouth to speak, "W-where am I? Who are you? What do you want from me?"
His voice came out as a weak whisper but there was still a fierce personality behind that fragile whisper. Akashi grinned and answered truthfully,
"I kidnapped you, sorry. I don't know exactly what I want from you. Just think of this as...a way of finding answers."
Kuroko scoffed and mumbled, "So you're this desperate? Desperate enough to kidnap me? What happened to having conversation?"
The redhead leaned in so that he was lying on top of the blue haired boy and whispered in his ear,
"Listen Tetsuya, I've been searching for you for my whole life and when I say 'whole life', I mean since the day I was born, I've had visions of you. I see you everywhere I go, I hear you and now that you're in front of me, there are answers that I must find. There are so many questions I have for you. It makes sense for me to be desperate. Desperate is quite the understatement."
Kuroko shuddered as the vibrations from the redhead's voice traveled up his neck and ear and then he realized something.
"You called me 'Tetsuya'." He whispered.
"So?" Akashi said while raising an eyebrow. The blue haired boy suddenly leaned up as far as he could and buried his face into the redhead's neck.
Akashi flinched away and Kuroko stuttered,
"A-Akashi-kun?"
The redhead seemed surprised and he immediately pulled away. The blue haired boy was smart. He raised his voice and asked,
"It's you, right? Akashi-kun?"
"Why would you think that?" Akashi asked, amused by how Kuroko figured it out so quickly.
The blue haired boy shrugged, "The way you said my name and the way you smell. Your voice is similar too, though I think you're trying to make it sound deeper so I won't recognize it."
Akashi frowned and pulled the blindfold off of Kuroko. Blue eyes met red ones and they stared at each other.
"Care to explain further, Akashi-kun? Is this a joke? How did you get into my apartment?" The blue haired boy questioned.
Akashi sighed and got off of the bed, "I don't understand it myself. Like I said, I just need you."
Kuroko seemed confused but then he said, "Then I'll stay."
"What?"
"You heard me," The blue haired boy stared directly at Akashi, "I'll stay with you for as long as you need. I've had some odd visions before too, although I'm not sure if it's of you or not. I'll stay by your side forever if I have to, but please, untie me?"
The redhead looked skeptical, "You're going to run away if I do that."
"Does it look like I have anywhere to go? Tie me up at night if you want to, at least let me move around a bit." Kuroko mumbled.
Akashi thought for a while and then nodded. He slowly untied the blue haired boy's hands, only to be pinned down by said boy.
Kuroko gripped the redhead's hands tightly as he sat on top of him and growled, "Don't ever think about kidnapping me again. Talking is useful, Akashi-kun, you should learn how to do it some time. I'll stay but only 'cause you're a good friend of mine and I have questions that need answers too."
"I'm sorry." The redhead whispered and then Kuroko let go of Akashi.
The blue haired boy was still angry for a few days and ignored the redhead for a while but he did stay just as he promised. Akashi cooked meals for two and they ate together silently. They didn't have school since they were on spring break so they spent their time around the redhead's apartment.
Kuroko got used to wearing Akashi's t-shirts and didn't mind living with him. He was getting free food after all. After a while, the blue haired became comfortable with Akashi's presence and secretly enjoyed the redhead's company.
"So, have you answered any questions yet?" Kuroko asked sleepily. They both sat on the couch and watched a movie together. The blue haired boy sat on the corner of the couch underneath several blankets while Akashi leaned back into the couch almost a meter away.
The redhead shook his head and said, "I don't know what I'm looking for."
Kuroko was a bit frustrated with this but he didn't pry any further. The blue haired boy simply moved closer to Akashi and leaned against his shoulder. Kuroko didn't know why he did it, but for some reason he felt it would answer some of their questions. The blue haired boy glanced up to look at Akashi's face. Kuroko noticed that the redhead was blushing quite a lot. The blue haired boy slowly began to understand. Akashi's heart was racing and his skin was getting hot to the touch.
Is he...reacting like this to me? Kuroko thought.
The blue haired boy shifted a bit and felt Akashi instantly tense up under his weight.
Kuroko grinned slightly and decided to keep quiet about the fact that the redhead had developed a crush on the blue haired boy without realizing it.
I can use this against him and make him pay for kidnapping me. The blue haired boy thought to himself, his grin growing at the thought.
For the next few days, Kuroko teased the redhead. Sometimes, the blue haired boy wouldn't wear underwear and would just have Akashi's baggy shirts coverings his thin body. Other times, when they slept side by side, Kuroko would press his body against Akashi's. Eventually, the redhead told him to sleep on the couch. But even while sleeping on the couch, Kuroko slept in vulnerable positions just so Akashi can see him.
The blue haired boy could physically see the redhead struggling against his desires and it was pure bliss to be able to control Akashi's emotions like this. The only problem Kuroko had was that he didn't notice that he himself was falling in love with the redhead as well.
One night, there was a severe thunderstorm and the blue haired boy was calmly sleeping on the couch until he was shaken awake by the rumbling thunder. Kuroko didn't have a great history with thunderstorms, especially after being lost in a forest during one when he was younger. The blue haired boy wasn't scared of thunderstorms, he was terrified.
His whole body tensed and the first thing he wanted was comfort and a distraction. Kuroko thought of Akashi and ran to his room.
The blue haired boy knocked as calmly as he could and put on his normal blank face.
"Come in." The redhead said from inside.
Kuroko swung the door open. He looked at the ground, gripping the shirt he was wearing tightly and mumbled, "I was...wondering if I could sleep here tonight."
"Sure, I'll take the couch." Akashi said.
"No. I... I mean I was wondering if I could sleep here by your side."
Both of their faces were flushed a bright red and Akashi simply nodded and stuttered,
"Y-yeah sure. You lie down, I'm just going to finish up some of my studies."
Kuroko immediately hopped into Akashi's bed and curled up under the covers. The blue haired boy tried to focus on the redhead and the warmth surrounding him, but all he could stare at was the window and the lightning that flashed outside.
Akashi noticed Kuroko flinching at the sound of the thunder and staring wide eyed at the lightning. The redhead sighed and closed his books.
I'll study tomorrow, he thought before making his way to the bed.
Even with Akashi standing less than a meter away, Kuroko continued to stare out the window in horror. The redhead slowly covered Kuroko's eyes with his hand and held him close.
The blue haired boy shivered in fear but as he was slowly surrounded by Akashi's strong scent, he began to calm down.
I feel like this happened before, both of them thought, as if...this happened in another life. I know him.
"Shhh, it's okay," The redhead whispered, "I'm right here. It's okay, everything's alright."
After a while, Kuroko melted in the redhead's arms and fell asleep. Akashi continued to rub small circles on the blue haired boy's back and then he whispered,
"I think... I love you. I'm afraid that you won't accept me. I can't tell if I love you or if I love all these visions of you that I have. I know I even went to the extreme of kidnapping you and I'm sure that you were terrified that I was going to kill you. I'm so sorry, I think I should just let you go."
After a while, the redhead was slowly pulled into a deep slumber hoping that Kuroko would want to stay.
In the morning, the redhead woke up early and made breakfast. Then he waited for Kuroko to wake up. When the blue haired boy woke up, he was surprised to see a lot of food waiting for him on the table. Akashi smiled and greeted him,
"Good morning, Tetsuya. Did you sleep well?"
Kuroko nodded slowly and sat down, "What's the occasion for all this food?"
"Just a goodbye present."
"Goodbye?" The blue haired boy questioned, his eyebrow raising in curiosity.
Akashi simply smiled and nodded, "Yes, goodbye. You may leave if you'd like."
Kuroko frowned and seemed upset with the turn of events and like any normal person, he asked, "Why...?"
The redhead took a deep breath and approached the blue haired boy. He quickly picked Kuroko up and pushed him against the wall. The blue haired boy yelped in surprise as he felt Akashi's hands slowly glide up his thighs.
"Because the longer you stay, the more I want to do these things to you. So I need you to leave."
Kuroko gasped as the redhead's hands slid under his shirt and his lips grazed over his neck.
Akashi-kun's hands are so warm... And his lips are so soft... The blue haired boy thought, I want to stay... I want to stay with him.
"A-Akashi-kun... I-"
"Please," The redhead interrupted as he quickly pulled his hands away, "leave."
Kuroko opened his mouth to object but decided against it, knowing that the redhead probably needed time. The blue haired boy grabbed his stuff and left Akashi's apartment, leaving the grand breakfast to get cold.
Once their spring break was over, Akashi pretended Kuroko didn't exist. It was as if nothing had happened between them.
When they walked by each other in the hallways, Kuroko resisted the urge to call out the redhead's name and Akashi resisted the urge to grab the blue haired boy's hand.
The redhead still had dreams of Kuroko and needing him by his side, but he suppressed his emotions and continued to avoid him.
Someone inside the blue haired boy kept shouting at him in his dreams. A boy with blue hair screamed out to Kuroko saying, "Don't let him leave you! Chase after him! Seijuro, don't leave me! Please...Come back."
When Kuroko woke up from these dreams, he couldn't help but want to listen to the voice. Soon enough, the blue haired boy kept stealing glances towards Akashi every chance he got.
Kuroko knew he missed the redhead but he couldn't find the heart to grab his hand until the day before their summer break.
It was a scorching hot day and Kise, Kuroko's friend, told the blue haired boy that Akashi was kicking him off the basketball team. When Kuroko asked why, the blond simply shrugged and said, "I don't know, ask Akashicchi."
Thus leading to a fuming Kuroko walking through the halls in search of the redhead. When the blue haired boy spotted Akashi, he grabbed his hand and pulled him off to the side.
"Why did you kick me off the team?" The blue haired boy asked while gripping Akashi's hand tightly to make sure he didn't run away.
"Because I can't stand looking at you." The redhead said.
"Why?" Kuroko demanded.
Akashi yanked his hand away and harshly whispered, "I love you but I love whoever is in my visions. I don't want you to think I'm disgusting."
The blue haired boy seemed shocked by the confession and all he could think about was the sudden burst of emotions that flowed through him. Akashi was ready to run off but Kuroko said,
"You're not disgusting. I...I love you too."
"You're lying. I was never good to you. I even kidnapped you!" The redhead yelled.
As Akashi began to fall apart in front of the blue haired boy, Kuroko firmly put his hands on the redhead's shoulders and kissed him.
Their lips met in a soft kiss and Akashi's eyes widened when he realized that they were sharing such gentle warmth through a single touch.
"I feel like we belong together." Kuroko murmured against the redhead's lips.
They both winced in pain as their memories slowly returned to them. Akashi gripped the blue haired boy's arm tightly in order to stand through the pain of having so many memories return to him at once. Kuroko didn't seem to have too much trouble this time as he waited patiently for the redhead.
"Seijuro?" The blue haired boy said quietly while hugging the redhead.
Akashi nuzzled his face into Kuroko's neck and muttered, "Tetsuya...I missed you. I'm sorry, my mind was so confused. I don't know what happened."
The blue haired boy smiled, "I guess I should be glad that at least it was you who kidnapped me and not some other person."
Akashi chuckled and then they both went to get their tattoo after school. They were much too young to get married yet so they got rings to represent that they would get married and that it showed everyone that they were already taken. Akashi and Kuroko explained to their parents about their relationship in which there was slight disapproval but eventually their relationship was accepted.
They spent years and years together and never once did they get bored of each other. Even after so many lifetimes, they enjoyed spending the rest of their lives together.
When they passed, Akashi passed away first followed by Kuroko a few months later. Even after witnessing the death of his loved one over and over again, Kuroko knew he would meet Akashi in the next life and the life after.
