Chapter 1

"Kouki-nii, why not go to American?" Kira asked out of the blue. Her drink in her hand, her eyes staring straight in front of her and not even looking at Kouki, who walked silently next to her. "Mother is over and the other two were deciding to move over there anyways. Don't you miss mother?" Kira side glance at him then looked back in front as they walked down the quiet road. "Mother sure misses you too and I think it's best to just start over there in American."

"K-Kira, I'm fine just staying here in Japan." Kouki told her, his hand gripping tightly to his arms and tired not to look down at the ground because he didn't want Kira to know how he felt at the moment though he was pretty sure she did know. "It's okay. I'm fine."

"Doesn't look like it. You look like a zombie everyday." That made Kouki fliched and Kira sighed, sucking in the last drip of her drink before throwing it away in a trash they pass by then she step right in front of Kouki. "I know what you're thinking. It's not cowarding away. It's calling finding yourself. Do it Kouki-nii. I'm tired of seeing you in pain."

"It's okay to start over."

His eyes fluttered open, the bright sunlight peeked through his window and shined into his room, lighting the whole place up. His alarm clock ringed loudly through the whole room before it went silent by a soft touched from his finger tip. He could hear the noises of his family from downstairs as they greeted each other and sounds of the kitchen. His light brown eyes moved to the window where he can see the morning sky view and a smile made it's way onto his lip as he watches the clouds drifted slowly in the sky. What a beautiful view to see in the morning day.

Flipping the cover off of himself, he made his way into his bathroom and freshen himself up before starting his day. His light brown fluttered when he combed it and after he finished, it looked very fluffy like a dog fur. That made him chuckle lightly to himself. Then he would brush his teeth, wash his face and put on his morning make up because as a model, he needed to be bright everywhere he goes.

Then he would make his way down stair where the noises grew louder and the voice become more clear to his ear. The smell of food reached his nose and he smiled. Today breakfast is a light pancake with egg and bacon. Typical morning breakfast but it's always the best when it's made form a mother's love.

"Good morning, Nii-san, Kira-chan, father and mother." He greeted them as he entered the kitchen with a wide bright smile on his face.

"Yo, Kouki!" His older brother greeted, flashing a smirk his way before looking down at his phone.

"Kouki-nii!" His little sister cried out, running around to him and hugged him tightly to which he turned the gesture.

"Good morning, son." His father looked up from the newspaper and smiled at him then went back to looking at the newspaper.

"Morning, dear!" His mother happily chirped at him a greeting without looking away from her cooking.

He patted his little sister on the head before they let go of their hug and the two made their way to their seat at the table. He sat right of his older brother while his little sister sat in front of him and his mother comes to the table with a dish for herself, next to her daughter, finally his father sat at the front of the table. A nice family breakfast morning.

"Itadakimasu!"

"Just like that, Kouki!" The photographer gave him a thumbs up as he happily took Kouki's photo.

Kouki smiled cutely at the camera while posing cutely. The photographer took a few more photo of him in different poses before they were done. Kouki bow, giving his thanks to the staffs that worked with him then left to his dressing room. On the way, his older brother greeted him with a hug and a mess hair for a gift, Kouki laughed lightly at his older brother. The two made their way down the hallway to his dressing room.

Furihata Kouki, age 20, currently working as a model for a small, but raising, company and his life is going greet for him. Right now, he just finished the company "Spring Collection" and is Kouki can say that he did a wonderful job at it. First entering into the company, everyone loved him and he's been the model they used for all their covers. Kouki at first never had this much attention but he can't say it's a bad one. He quite likes it very much.

His older brother, Furihata Kyoya, works as his manger while also working as manger to his littler sister, Furihata Kira, who is the company top actor, their mother, Furihata Kiki, works as the fashion designer and their father, Furihata Kai, is the secretary for the company. Kouki can say they're very well known in the company. Their company might not be the biggest but they get through sometime and it fine to Kouki since he doesn't find the fame that great. He just loves to model and it's been his enjoyment since he started to do it back in American.

Speaking of American, back there, Kouki was quite famous due to his mother being their most famous American designer and to have a son showing off her work, blessing the American world. Kouki found it funny in a way but he also loved it too. Model in American was fun but there are times where he didn't like it, mainly because Kouki just had to work with older women model and he wasn't that comfortable to touch them. Though he could say he gotten use to it a bit though not that much. He tired at least.

"Kouki, you have no more photoshoots so you're free to go back home or do whatever you liked." Kyoya told him, opening the door to Kouki's dressing room for him then followed Kouki inside. "But remember to stay out of trouble okay? Though call Hiro if you do get in trouble and he'll come get you."

"As if I'll get in trouble!" Kouki cried out to his older brother, taking his mother's designer shirt off and looked towards his older brother. "What's on my other schedule?"

"Well you have a photoshoot with some model from another company soon but that's about it." Kyoya explained in a careless manner which made Kouki glared at him but the older male just shrugged their shoulder.

Kouki sighed, "Who's the model?" He finished dressing out of the designer clothes and into his regular ones then walked over to his older brother.

Kyoya looked down at his little brother and hesitated to tell him but sighed, "It's Kise Ryouta."

Ah, Kouki felt his world just got fucked up.

-

"Oh, it's Kuroko's teammate! Hello~!"

"Hey, Furi-cchi today is a lovely day!"

"Furi-cchi, do you like anyone?"

"Furi-cchi what happen back there?"

"Who's Furihata?"

Honestly, Kouki's day could've gone worst. Currently, Kouki found himself inside a clothing store inside the shopping mall because some kid run into him and they spelled their drink on him. The mother apologized to pay for a new shirt but Kouki didn't want to trouble them so he only smiled at her and told her it was fine. Then he finds himself in a clothing store, trying to find himself a new set of clothing. Kouki could only sigh at his misfortune.

"Sir, are you finding everything okay?" A shop employee asked him after seeing him looking for a set of clothing with stern eyes.

"Ah yes, I am. Thank you for asking." Kouki smiled at them and they nodded their head, going away to attain to the new comer in the store.

Kouki shook his head, looking at he set of clothing in front and decided to go with it since it looked more like the less set of clothing in the store and Kouki didn't have his card with him at the moment so he had to go with dollars. Picking the clothing up, Kouki payed for the clothing and asked if he could use one of their changing room to change. The workers were surprising nice to let him use it and he thanks them with a bright smile which caused the workers to flushes red. I mean, he is a model after all, he's bound to make people blush at some point in his career.

Kouki looked at himself after he finished dressing into his new set of clothing and smiled awkwardly to himself. Well, it's not that bad but it did make him look like one of those random kids on the internet with interesting taste of clothing. Kids nowadays have very interesting taste of clothing and Kouki is dressed like one. Sometimes, Kouki feels like he really don't fit those type of clothing. Really.

Leaving the changing room, Kouki finds his eyes catching very familiar people, just a few feet away from him. and Kouki's heart raced a million times as he watched them talked to each other happily. Those people were Kise Ryouta and Kagami Tagia. Kouki cursed inside his head as he locked himself inside the changing room and moved away from the door. Why does he have to run into them?! Those the world hate him or something? He thought to himself, after he heard that he was gonna with Kise Ryouta, that he would only see him during the shooting and after that no where else.

'I thought it would be easier for me but I guess it really isn't.' Kouki thought to himself, leaning against the wall and slide down onto the ground. "I'm scared."

For awhile, Kouki stayed inside the changing room and hoped that the two would be gone in a few minutes. His hand were shaking that he couldn't even stop them at all. He hided his face between his knee and curled himself up close to the wall. It's scary. He's afraid to meet them again. It's been such a long time that he doesn't know how to deal with them. He's scared.

Minutes went by pass and Kouki peeks out of the room, scanning the store and doesn't find them anywhere so he sigh and step out of the changing room. His bag of dirty clothes in his hand, Kouki made his way towards the exit of the door. Kouki didn't want to stay in the mall any longer, he just didn't want to meet up with them or who ever he could meet in the mall at all. Kouki is afraid to face them all. Just seeing them scared Kouki out of his wits.

Kouki made his way out of the store but stopped when someone called out his name. His whole body froze in it's spot while he cursed inside his mind a million times at the person who called out his name. Kouki didn't want to look back at the person nor did he even want to meet them because again he's scared of meeting them. But as much as Kouki wanted to run away, far away from them, he didn't want to be rude after they haven't seen each other in such a long time.

So Kouki slowly turned around to face the person and give them a smile, hiding all his fear away behind that smile and greeted them, "Hello Kuroko-san, it's been a long time."

"Indeed, Furihata-kun." Bright blue eyes stared into light brown ones.
