A few days ago, in that rose filled garden, Seijuurou-kun was crying. I couldn't see his face but I knew that there were tears in his eyes; he was sobbing quietly reminiscing about the days he spent with his mother. It made my heart ache a little seeing his eyes red and the thought that he must have been repressing all this tears and emotion deep within him saddened me. It's the usual day today, Sana-san is probably in the kitchen cooking right now, Seijuurou-kun is working as well, and everyone is doing some sort of work, except for me. I should go help Sana-san in the kitchen again.
"Sa-…"
.
.
What was that? Well she's married to Takeda-san of course they've kissed each other countless of time. I can't believe I ran away after seeing two married people kiss. Not that I was disgusted, I mean why would I be disgusted when Takeda-san kissed Sana-san so affectionately, it felt so warm. Actually, after seeing that, there's this sense of longing that's starting to creep in on me, a sense of nostalgia that I can't recall. It reminded of that dream where that sun like person woke me up and kissed me in the forehead, just like how Takeda-san kisses Sana-san, it felt warm. And now I'm smiling, I'm happy but I don't why, I just am.
"Kuroko-kun? What are you doing here at the living room?
"Takeda-san…uh..er… I'm waiting for Seijuurou-kun."
"Would you like to go with me then Kuroko-kun?"
"Where?"
"I'm going to Akashi-sama's office to give him some documents. Would you like to go with me? I'm pretty sure Akashi-sama wouldn't mind if you come."
"Sure. Of course, I would love to go."
This is so exciting, I can finally go outside again. I wonder what kind of office Seijuurou-kun has. What does he do for a living? This is so exciting, the scenery looks beautiful, and the car isn't moving too fast which is somewhat relaxing. There's some cars the passes once in a while, but they all look like one of those expensive cars. This area must be for the upper classes. Hmmmm…I wonder if I have car, I wonder if can drive, although it does feel like I'm the type that would enjoy walking rather that driving. It's such a sunny morning today, and the blue sky is very calming…ah! a plane, I almost thought that those were real clouds, it's just a cloud trail the plane left. I wonder where it's going, it must be nice to fly. Must be nice fly…must be nice to fly? Sounds kind of familiar, 'must be nice to fly', I must be fond of birds, they fly. What else fly's? Birds, plane, jets, angels maybe-
"Kuroko-kun were here."
"Oh I didn't notice…where are we?
"This is where Akashi-sama works. This is their family corporation."
This building is so big and huge. What kind of corporation is this? It's such a massive building, and Seijuurou-kun's family owns this. I knew that he was rich, but this is unbelievable.
"Kuroko-kun, Akashi-sama's office is at the top. Bring these documents to him and this bentou as well. He didn't eat this morning before leaving so Sana prepared this bentou, it's good for two people so you can eat with him as well. You haven't eaten breakfast yet either right?"
"Yes…wait, you want me to go there by myself? Takeda-san I can't do that…uh-"
"You'll be fine Kuroko-kun. Here, just show this card to the reception area and ask them for Akashi-sama. I need to go."
"Wait Takeda-san. WAIT!"
He left me. He probably set this up, making bentou for two people, he was already planning on leaving me right from the start. And what kind of card is this anyway, why is it black? I need to calm down…okay…one step at a time. Woah! the inside is more amazing than what I had in mind. It's so spacious and elegant just like Seijuurou-kun's house.
"Uhm…er…er…excuse me? Miss? Excuse me?"
I don't think she can hear me.
"Miss, excuse me…er excuse me, miss?...MISS!?"
"AHHH! Huh…who said that?"
"I'm right here, miss. I need to see Sei-…Akashi Seijuurou-kun."
Takeda-san said to show this black card to the reception.
"Here's…Ta-…I mean my card. Here's my card."
Her eyes suddenly got bigger when she saw the card. What is this card?
"Of course, right this way sir."
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Haruhiko's taking too long on delivering those documents, where is he?
*ring ring ring ring*
"Akashi-sama, a guy name Tetsuya Kuroko is here to see you. Should I let him in?"
"Tetsuya? I'm coming there right away, tell him to wait for me."
Tetsuya's here? What is he doing here… could it be Haruhiko's doing?
"Seijuurou-kun! Takeda-san told me to give this documents to you and have you eat this bentou Sana-san made… Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, you just surprised me, and shouldn't I be asking you that you look nervous."
"Well, I didn't what to do. Takeda-san ask me to come with him here but then left me. Beside's it feels like people have staring at me, I feel uncomfortable."
"Sorry about that. Come, let's continue this in my office."
So it was Haruhiko's doing. I knew it.
"Seijuurou-kun here, these are the documents and the bentou, and this card Takeda-san gave me."
"Well no wonder people have staring at you."
"Is it because of this card?"
"No, it's because you're beautiful Tetsuya."
"That's not funny Seijuurou-kun."
"Haha, I can't help it when you look so lost like that. Stop being so conscious about yourself."
Although you do look striking this morning, the way your eyes would shine whenever a sunlight would hit it and your hair that resembles the sky, definitely eyecatching. But I won't tell you that, never.
"Why don't we eat then, you haven't eaten yet either right? Here."
"Am I not interrupting your work Seijuurou-kun?"
"No, don't worry about that. Come let's eat."
"Yes…what are you doing? It's fine I can serve myself Seijuurou-kun."
"No, you're my guest Tetsuya I have to."
"Fine…by the way Seijuurou-kun what do you do here? I heard your family owns this."
"Yes my family does own this, but our main branch is in U.S. We have three branches here in Japan. My father manages the main branch abroad and I'm managing one of our branches here, the other two are managed by my Uncle and his daughter."
"Your family is really incredible Seijuurou-kun, especially you. You're only 25 and you're already managing this big corporation. It must be tough for you."
"It is, but I can manage…Tetsuya? Are you listening?
"Oh, I'm sorry Seijuurou-kun. I was looking at the sky, see…right there, there's another airplane. I saw one earlier while I was on my way here, and I thought how it'd be nice to fly. What do you think?"
"Haha, maybe you were a bird in your past life Tetsuya…"
"It's possible."
"Let's not talk about this now. Why don't we finish eating first and then I'll tour you around if you'd like."
"Ah yes, I would love that…hey! stop putting more food on my plate. I'm already full, I can't eat anymore."
"You know, it will sadden Sana to hear that you didn't finish the food that she made."
"That's foul play Seijuurou-kun. Here, why don't you have more as well, you look so hungry."
"Hey!"
"Hahaha, you deserved that Seijuurou-kun."
The atmosphere's so lively when you fill this room with your laughter. Did you know? I'm starting to get fond of your laughter and smile. All your lost memory, I can replace them all. I'll give you happy memories, so there's no need for you to remember him. I can replace him, give you more…give you more happiness than he could ever give you.
"Tetsuya, you won't leave me right?"
"What are you taking about Seijuurou-kun?"
"No, nevermind. It was nothing…just hurry up and finish eating."
"Why don't you help me finish this bentou Seijuurou-kun? This was originally for you anyway. I really can't eat anymore."
"Fine, here…aaaaa."
"I'd rather eat them all than feed you Seijuurou-kun."
"Hahaha, okay if that's what you want."
"Ugh, I want to throw up. I really can't eat anymore Seijuurou-kun, please!"
"Aaaaaaa…"
"Ugh, fine…why are you such a cunning man Seijuurou-kun?"
"I just am."
"Is that right."
"Uh huh."
"I hate you."
"Aww, I love you too Tetsuya."
"Just hurry up and finish eating."
"Yes, as you wish…Tetsuya-sama."
"Please don't call me that."
"Hahaha, I'm gonna start calling you that."
"Hey, stop laughing, you're gonna end up choking."
"I can't help it, stop making me laugh."
"I'm not even trying to, what are you talking about?"
Just like today, I want us to laugh together more. Share more moments like these and create more memories with you. I'll give you more happiness than you could ever think of. I promise.

"Tet-Tetsuya…wa-a-water, please."
"I told you so."
"I…please…wa-water."
