Extra chapter: Reds
It has been a month since Tetsuya experience school life again. Since the whole procedure and rehabilitation took almost a year, Unfortunately, Tetsuya must repeat his second year again. Thus he is now a student of class 2-3, same class as Atsushi. Originally, I wanted him to be at the same class as me, but I am still concern about his health. I know he is a fast learner but still I don't want him to push himself to hard.
Overall, I am grateful I can spend the rest of my high school life with him. Walking hand in hand after school, watching his laugh, his warm hearted smile. Making him the most happiest person is all I need. But, I know him better than anyone. Maybe even better than himself. Whenever he watched us play, I can still spot a hint of sadness deep inside his heart
Today, Tetsuya is incharge of the library. So I took this chance to leave early. Leaving the cover up alibi and the team to Shintaro. When he aksed me, I just inform him that I am going to Seirin High, The later nodded without saying anything. I figured he knew what I am gonna do.
I took a train and walk for a few minutes before I reached a new looking building. I walked inside the school normaly. Along the way, I can see that most students are having their club activites. Baseball, Tennis, Archery.
As I walked, A first grader, I expect, almost bump into me because of a huge pile of towels she is carrying. I caught her just in time.
"Kyaaaa.."
"Are you alright?"
"I.. I- I am so sorry." She bowed repeatedly
"It's alright." Then I caught a glimps of her shirt, a basketball logo. "Are you perhaps Seirin baskteball club manager?"
"Huh? How do you know?"
I pointed at her shirt
"That's right. Silly me. Hahahaha... I am a newbie. So, I am still not used to this."
"Mikuni-san, I would like to meet Aida-san. There is something important I need you discuss."
"So, um.. Welcome to Seirin High, Akashi-san. What brings you the Teiko High captain here?" Aida Riko, the young female coach gave a nervous smile.
"Yeah. I would like to know as well." Seirin captain, Hyuga Junpei gave a curious - nervous look.
"I would like to propose a friendly match between our schools this Saturday."
"A friendly match?!" Both Aida Riko and Hyuga Junpei exclaimed.
"And... what do you mean by that?"
I sighed. "I hate to repeat myself, but as I said, A friendly match between Seirin High and Teiko High." I checked my phone and smiled. "Takeda-sensei, your club advisor has approved. Please welcome us next Saturday. See you until then." I bowed.
"O- oi wait!"
I turned as I remembered "Pardon me, I almost forgot. Make sure to bring Kagami Taiga in the game."
"Tetsuya?"
"Seijuro-kun."
"Hey, what are doing here? It's cold outside. You could have gotten sick again." I frowned when I saw him waiting without scarf.
"I am sorry but you are taking some time. I am standing here so I can spot you easier. " He smiled as I cirlced my scarft around his neck and took his hand.
"Should I get the car?"
"No, I am fine Seijuro-kun. Let's just walk home."
"Alright then."
Most of the time, we walked in silence. Sometimes, we had light conversation. Like now.
"Tetsuya, this Saturday we will have a friendly match. Would like to watch?"
"This Saturday?"
I nodded. "You sound surprise. Do you have plan?"
"I planned to ask you out on a movie. " He pulled out two tickets and gave one to me.
I smiled. "Thank you Tetsuya. It's fine, we can make it to the movie. The match will end before noon."
"That's the way, talking about the match, who will be the opponent?"
"Seirin High."
"Seirin High? I never heard it before."
"It's a new established school with only second and first years. However, they made it to Interhigh. I would say they are a quite strong team."
"I can't even imagine there is a team out there that can beat you."
I chuckled. "We just have to see it later, don't we?"
The match went according to my prediction. We won. But I have to admit they are strong. Specially the number 10 player. He is almost an equal match againts Daiki.
Kagami Taiga who is now brickering with Daiki. Equally hot tempered and same perrsonalities, I made a mental note. I took my towel and wipe my sweaty face then stared at the audience seat. Tetsuya. He is still sitting there looking at him.
"Akashi, are you going to get Kuroko?"
"Yes."
"Alright. Get him to the bench at the back of this building. I will make sure Aomine#2 will be there."
"Thank you Shintarou."
"Why?"
"You need to settle this, Tetsuya. I know this has been bothering you for a long time."
"I - I don't know what are you talking about... I am... fine with the way things are now." He said in trembling voice.
"Tetsuya, don't deny it. Deep down, I know you still consider him as your best friend."
"I..."
"Kuroko?"
I patted his back and whispered, "You can do
it. I am always here for you. We are two halves meant for another. Remember that."
They sit in silence. Kuroko stared down while Kagami stole glances of the umpteenth time.
"So... uh, are you alright? Stupid question. Of course don't! You are skinny and pale! But I mean.. uh..."
Kagami was taken back when Kuroko suddenly laugh out loud. Making him look dumbfounded and speechless. "Er... are you ok?"
"I am sorry. I am fine Kagami-kun. I remembered this also happened when we fell down from the bike but only I got bad injury."
"Yeah. That's one hell of a time. I was scolded big time and grounded for a week but you come to my house so I don't feel like being grounded."
"That's right."
After the laughter died down. Once again the awkward moment comes.
"I am...
"I am sorry Kagami-kun... for all the things I did that hurt you... I really didn't mean it." Kagami was suprised to see his best friend bowed.
"Wha? No! This mess is not your fault! It's entirely my fault! I am sorry."
"But, I hurt you back then... in the hospital."
"Hey, it's not a big deals Wait, it's a big deal! How are you? Are you fine now? Are you even allowed out of hospital?!" Kagami frantically shaking the smaller one.
"Calm down. I am fine Kagami-kun. It's been a year. So I am okay now. Besides, how do you even know? Wait let me guess... It was Seijuro-kun wasn't it?"
"To be preciese, it's the glasses boy who brief me the situation. But, I assume its his doing."
"I see..."
"So... uh, are you still playing? Or you played after we..."
"I did play... but with the way I am now, I am restricted for a year."
"I see... I.. miss those time.."
"Yes, me too.. We should play again some time." Kuroko offered a fist bump. Kagami smiled "Yeah."
The heart warming made up session woould have continued if it weren't for Kise.
"Kurokochiiii... Help me out! Hide me! Share me your misdirection or I will die!" Kise shook the bluenette.
"What do you mean Kise-kun?" A hint of annoyance in the smaller voice but the blond failed to notice it.
"Tons of girls are chasing me! What should I do?!"
"Keep running until you reached home."
"Roger!" Kise immediately run until midway when he realized, "Kurokochi, it's 8 stations away from my house! I will die!"
"Kisechin is annoyingly loud." Murasakibara grunted. "Kurochin, want some pocky? It's sushi flavoured."
"Thank you Murasakibara-kun. I will try some."
"Hey, found you Bakagami! Let's have a rematch!" Aomine's fore finger pointed straightly at him while the otehr holding a basketball.
"Huh!? What do you mean rematch? Your team won the game!"
"But you blocked my shot! I want a rematch! Rematch you hear!?"
"What?!"
"Oha-asa is always correct. Good thing I prevent my misfortune. But I might consider getting a bigger one to avoid those idiot twins." He sighed. "By the way, here is your lucky item Kuroko. I accidentaly bought two." Midorima handed a blue glass stone.
"Thank you Midorima-kun. By any chance, may I exchange withh the red one?"
"Hm? Why is that? I thought blue is your favorite colour."
"Not really. Right now red is my favorite. The two reds in my life."
