Chapter 18:
"Agh!"
"Akashicchi!" Kise cried in horror as he saw Akashi throw Aomine to the wall.
"Akashi! What is the meaning of this?" Midorima asked confused as to what is making Akashi lose his composure.
"Ugh~ A-Akashi oy..." Aomine held on to Akashi's hand which was now on his neck.
"Akashi-kun please do not kill Aomine-kun." Kuroko said as he too held onto Akashi's hand.
"Quiet Kuroko." Akashi looked at his straight to his eyes. Kuroko stepped back.
"Akashi listen~ Ack!" Akashi tightened his hold on Aomine's neck.
"A-Akashicchi!!! Y-You're killing Aominecchi!!!" This time it was Kise who was pulling Akashi away from Aomine.
"Stay out of this Kise." Akashi commanded him. Aomine kicked to the front finally making Akashi step back.
"Hah! Hah~" He held his neck catching his breath.
"Damn it! I said listen to me first!" Aomine stood up while Akashi only glared at him.
Akashi charged towards him tackling him down, Aomine being ready with what was coming got away pretty easily.
Akashi was about to land a punch on Aomine's face when a yell came from somewhere.
"No! S-Stop that! Oh god!" It was Furihata Kouki who was running towards them.
"A-Akashi-san, p-please let Aomine-kun go." Akashi looked at Furihata unbelievingly.
He stood up letting go of Aomine before walking away.
"Tsk. You shouldn't have done that Chihuahua." Aomine sat up while Furihata helped him.
"B-But he was in the wrong. I'm sorry Aomine-kun..." Furihata looked down biting his lips to prevent himself from crying.
"I got it. Don't you dare cry! You are too emotional you know?" Aomine gave Furihata's head a light pat. Furihata looked up at him then smiled. Making Aomine ruffle his hair more.
Meanwhile, Kise and Midorima looked at the interaction between the two.
Midorima shook his head before heading out as well while Kise looked at them pain visible in his eyes.
'Aominecchi~' Kise walked away as well dejectedly.
Furihata was heading for Kagami's apartment since Kuroko told him to come when a car blocked his way.
"Are you Furihata Kouki?" A man asked.
"Y-yes~ W-Why--"
In an instant Furihata was thrown inside the car with the men inside holding him down.
'No!'
What happened was seen by a certain blue haired tanned player.
'Oh shit!' He ran to the same direction the car went dialing on his phone at the same time.
"Aomine..." The man on the other side of the line answered.
"Akashi! You need to come here fast! The Chihua-- I mean Furihata! Furihata had just been taken away in a car!" Aomine said still running after the car.
"What are you saying? He's on his way here to Kagami's apartment." Akashi said.
"Damn it! I saw it! Okay? And I'm close by as well! Kagami had told me to go there as well! Shit! They're getting away! Just-- Just--"
"Calm down Aomine. Can you perhaps tell me what the car's plate number is?"
Aomine looked at the car's plate telling Akashi every character he saw.
"Ok. For now I need you to come here first."
The call ended as well as Aomine's chase.
Akashi sat on Kagami's single couch as he waited for Furihata's arrival. Kuroko had already given him an explanation as to why Aomine was with Furihata at his work.
He knew it is very logical for Kuroko to accept Aomine's offer to accompany Furihata on his work, but what he fail to understand is that why is Aomine too concerned with Furihata's well being. He was silently thinking of every possible explanation when his phone rang.
When he saw who was calling he answered it immediately...
"Aomine..."
Kagami's whole apartment was silent.
It was supposedly a night where Aomine explains his side to Akashi since Aomine's been bothered by how Akashi saw him with Furihata especially at his work.
"Ok. First, Aomine tell Akashi whatever it is that you need to tell him and clear all misunderstanding..." Kagami said as he sat beside Kuroko.
"Ok. Listen Akashi, I suppose Tetsu had already given you an initial explanation to why I was with the Chih-- with Furihata last Saturday." Akashi nodded as an answer.
"Well I suppose I should explain why I've come to 'care' for Furihata?" Aomine asked since that's the fastest way to clear all misunderstandings. He saw Akashi stiffen when he mentioned the word 'care'.
He heaved a deep breath before starting to tell his story.
It was a random night during their training camp when Aomine saw Furihata walking by the beach.
"Oy Chihuahua~" He called for his attention.
"Ah, Aomine-san..." Furihata bowed.
"Why're you here? Shouldn't you be you know? Resting or something?" Aomine asked as he walked towards Furihata.
"Oh that~ I-I can't sleep..."
"Hmm? Why is that?" Aomine looked at Furihata who was just looking at the sand.
"S-Sei-- I mean, Akashi-san isn't there... And I can't sleep."
"Akashi? Oh right. You are pregnant~ So? Is the pup looking for its dad or something?" Aomine sat on the sand which Furihata imitated. Furihata didn't got surprised that Aomine knew about his condition since Kuroko said that Akashi told them before.
"I d-don't know... I guess?" Furihata answered.
"I see... Have you talked to Akashi about that then?"
"N-No... A-Akashi-san has been avoiding me s-since we got back from my parent's house."
"Oh yeah, he said something about that." Aomine kept quiet for a little too long, he looked at Furihata's side when he felt something fall on his shoulder.
'Tss, he fell asleep.'
Aomine shook his head before picking the Omega up since he'd be dead if Akashi knew he left Furihata there.
Furihata woke up as Aomine was setting him down his bed.
"Ah! I-I'm sorry Aomine-san. I didn't mean to fall asleep~"
"It's fine. You're pregnant I guess that's normal? Anyway, try talking to Akashi--"
"I-I can't~ L-Last night I-I accidentally heard Akashi-san said h-he-- he likes me."
Aomine fell silent at Furihata's confession.
"He said that?"
"Y-Yes, b-but he thought I was asleep..."
"What about you then? Do you like Akashi?" Aomine asked. Furihata never knew Aomine could be this matured.
"I-I look up to him. But-- I can't tell if I really like him... W-What if it's just because I'm pregnant and it's just the hormones talking?" Furihata said fiddling with his fingers.
"I see, then how about I accompany you for now until you've made sure of how you feel towards Akashi?" Aomine offered. He knew Akashi wouldn't come near the Omega as well until he too was sure of his feelings. With that he knew that the Omega atleast needs an Alpha beside him.
"A-Are you sure A-Aomine-san?"
"Yeah, after all Akashi's my friend and I wouldn't want anything bad happening to my future niece or nephew." Aomine patted his head.
"Oh, t-thank you then Aomine-k-kun..." Aomine just smiled at him before leaving the room.
"You see? There's nothing going on between me and Furihata. He's just like you... You know? Not sire with his feelings and all! I'm being a good friend here! You better have as a godfather for that pup Akashi!" Aomine ended his story.
Kuroko let out a muffled chuckle upon how Aomine behaved.
He had known about it since Furihata had told him the following day.
"Oy Tetsu! Don't you dare laugh at me!" Aomine said throwing a pillow at Kuroko.
"I'm sorry about that Aomine-kun. Anyway, Akashi-kun you shouldn't be jealous of Aomine-kun and Furihata-kun... Aomine-kun only has his eyes on Ki--"
"Shut up Tetsu!" Aomine tackled the Omega.
"Okay that's enough. Now time to discuss Furihata's current situation." Kagami said glaring at Aomine.
A knock on the door was heard as they settled back down their seats.
