It was a rainy day when I first notice you. Your teal colored hair, amass the people looking for a place to hide under this heavy rain, was luminescent that my eyes started to follow it unconsciously. I found out few days after that we take the same train on the way to school, how could I have missed that? Somehow my eyes would just unconsciously follow you, and the rare chances when our eyes would accidentally meet were like a wish come true to me. I would smile like an idiot whenever that happens, so you most probably thought that I was some sort of an idiot or a weirdo. However, on that one sunny morning you greeted me "Good Morning" with a smile. I was so happy then that I unconsciously called you by your name, which I heard from a friend you ride with sometimes, "Good Morning too, Kuroko-kun." You were probably shock that a stranger like me knew you. I wonder if I told you that I've been watching you, trying to know you, and that I'm drawn to you, I wonder if you'd think I'm weird, because truthfully I think of it weird as well. I think it's weird that after seeing you on that rainy day, finding out that I could see you again almost every morning made me happy. I find it weird that when our eyes would meet accidentally my heart would start beating like crazy and my idiotic grin would just come out unconsciously. I find it weird that learning about your name and the fact that we go to the same university would put me in such a high spirit that I could hardly fall asleep from thinking too much, "I wonder what I'll learn about Kurokocchi tomorrow."
"Ah, I'm sorry. Ah…er…I learned your name from one of your friend. The one you ride in this train sometimes."
"Oh, I didn't know you and Shige-kun knew each other."
"Yes, Shige-kun. I have a class with him."
"Hmmm, so that's why."
"Huh?"
"Sometimes I could see you smile at my direction, you were probably smiling at Shige-kun."
"Huh, no. No, I was smiling at you Kurokocchi."
"Kurokocchi?"
"Huh…er…look, the train's here. Let's go."
Thanks to Shige-kun, who I didn't even know from the start, we were able to start a conversation. Shige-kun, who saw me as a suspicious person at first, warm up to me and gave me the blessing when I told him that I wanted you to be my lover. However, I didn't know then how to confessed or how to tell you my feelings properly. Dropping "I really like you Kurokocchi," randomly in our conversation became a habit, thinking that if a tell it too often you'd actually consider it seriously and not just as a joke. But it seems that casually saying that wouldn't work, although the way you would always smile and say "I'm happy to hear that Kise-Kun," is another thing that I like.
I decided to show you how I really feel about you, and on that one starry night kissed you on the lips told you "I love you Kurokocchi, not just as a friend but in a romantic way!" The faced you made then made me think that I was probably going to get rejected, but you just walked towards your apartment with a hint of redness in your ear and said "Goodnight Kise-kun." That was stuck on my mind that whole night, my eyes got a bit reddish from lack of sleep.
You avoided me after that. I didn't know what to do then, and it felt like my heart was being torn into pieces whenever you'd avoid my eyes. "What do I do now?" was question I asked myself often at that time, just like a broken piece of tape on repeat.
"I'm sorry Kise-kun, can you give me more time to think about what you said that night?"
"Yes, if that's what you like Kurokocchi. Ne…Kurokocchi I love you!"
"Kise-kun! Were at school. Please stop saying embarrassing stuff in public."
"Does that mean it's okay to say it if it's just the two of us?"
"Huh? Please stop Kise-kun"
"Hahaha, you're blushing Kurokocchi."
"No I'm not."
When you told me that, I realized that you must've been shock when I told you that I love you. I was only thinking about myself that I forgot to consider what you'd think after I confessed. I've been a little selfish, forgive me.
November 7, 2007. That day was when you gave me your awkward yet sweet "Yes" and we started going out, and that day was the official day I can finally call you mine. And we shared many more days together with many unforgettable memories. We cuddled together, the kisses we shared and especially the embraces, where we melted together, all of those unforgettable moments. I'd love to have more of those for the rest of my life, so I decided to buy you a ring and propose to you after you graduate. I heard from one of my senpai from work that guys can marry each other in Los Angeles, California.
I lied and told you that we're going there for vacation but the truth is my proposal plan was already commencing. I asked a few of my coworker in the plane to do this favor for my lover and although they hesitated at first, agreed to my plan. Exactly 8:15 pm, the video, which I had one of my friend edit, with all our memories started playing in everyone's screen. You were so shocked then, I still remember the face you made when you saw yourself in the TV screen, I thought "Ah this is a new expression from Kurokocchi. I'll definitely treasure this moment." And at the end of the video, there I was.
"Ne, Kurokocchi we have together for three years now. I still remember the day when I first saw you, and the day you first talked to me, and many more. I would really love to spend more days together with you. I want to shout to the whole world that I love you. I want to show them how much I love you. So if you please permit me, then I would love to spent more of those days with you not just as my lover, but as my support and as my husband."
You started crying then, and I couldn't help but cry with you as well. "Ne, Kurokocchi. I mean Tetsuya Kuroko, I really really love you. Would you be willing to spend more days with me and create more memories with me? Will you marry me?"
"I would love to, Ryouta-kun."
Ah, the tears just won't stop flowing. I was so sure then that I was the happiest person there is. Everyone was looking at us, cheering happily, yelling "good luck", some "awww that's so sweet" and some who were confused at what was going on.
July 7, 2011 was the day we got married. The two of us was so nervous then, I could feel both of our hand shake. Hey, if I told you that I wanted to see you in a gown then, you'd probably hit me huh. But I did kind of wanted to see you wear one though, hehe. We told our parents that we got married and although both were unsupportive at first, I knew that they would give in anyway, because we're both love.
*ring ring ring ring*
"Ryouta-kun!?...Ryouta-kun…Tetsuya's missing."
"Oka-san slow down I can't hear you."
"TETSUYA'S MISSING."
"What!? Hold on, where are you?"
"I'm at the seminar place where Tetsuya's attending. His colleagues called me and told that his missing. Please come here immediately Ryouta."
"I got it. I'm coming, please wait for me there."
Where are you Tetsucchi? Nothing bad happen I'm sure, they just probably thought that he was missing and then he's just gonna show up out of nowhere like he always does. He's okay I'm pretty sure of that, I mean who would do something bad to him.
"It seem that Tetsuya Kuroko-san saved two teenage girls from a gang of people trying to drag the two. When we arrived at the scene no one was there anymore."
"What do you mean you can't find him, and what the hell are you all doing here shouldn't you be finding him!"
"Sir, he's been missing for two days now. He colleagues didn't notice that he was missing so they reported the incident late. We were able to connect the incident between the two girls when their description of the guy who saved them matched the description that his colleagues gave us. We're doing our best to find him sir."
"Well look harder!"
"Ryouta-kun calm down."
Oka-san kept telling me to calm down while her own tears fell out of her eyes. How could this happen? I sent you with a smile and you smiled back at me telling me to take care of myself. Didn't we promise that we'll always be together, that we'll always say 'I'm home' to each other? What do I do now when I can't live without you. No! I could feel it, you'll still around it's impossible that your gone I won't accept it. I'll look for you to the ends of the earth. I WON'T ACCEPT THIS.
"Don't worry Oka-san, we'll look for him. We won't give up. I won't give up I promise."
I'll won't give up, I'll look for you and wait for you to come back to me. I believe in you because we promise, right? That we'll always be together for better, or for worse, for richer, or for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.
