"Butterfly Effect"
Chapter Six:
"I want you, Kuroko Tetsuya, to never go back to Japan, to stay here…. Along with that, I want you to… to be part of our team, Golden Elites, from now on until forever." Hatori enumerated and smirked.
"W-W-W-W-W-W-What?!" The others reacted as Kuroko just stared back at the gray-head, contemplating the decision he would do any minute from now.
"If you'll deal with it, then approach me and shake my hand. If not, just turn around and slam the door. So, Kuroko-kun? Deal or No Deal?"
"NO. KUROKO, NO!" The others shouted in desperation as Kuroko just continued in staring at the gray-eyed before him.
~LFMH021~
Akashi was separating different documents from one another when panicked knocks surprised him. He took a deep breath and responded, "Come in."
The doors opened and one of his secret messengers, whom he ordered to scatter around that area to tell him news he should know, approached him after securing no one but Akashi would hear and see him. "Young Master, I have news you must definitely know."
"That's rare. Pray tell me what news that could be." The red-head replied and continued re-typing documents on his laptop.
The messenger gulped and murmured it, "Kuroko Tetsuya and some of your friends have arrived in Europe just few days ago."
Now, that caught his Young Master's attention, which caused the latter to halt and look up. "What?" He gasped, and cursed, "Crap."
~LFMH021~
He remained staring at the hand being offered to him. He contemplated the choices being given to him. And he always hated being torn between two tough choices just like this. If he was the old him, he would do something to run away and avoid answering such difficult questions and decisions, but he had changed. He had changed and it was all because of the guy being dealt with here.
Whoever said love isn't complicated to handle and just always use your heart? He can shut his mouth up now.
He took a deep breath and now raised his head to meet the other's gray eyes. He then spoke, "Will you give me time to decide? I'm sure you're not much in a hurry, right?"
It was an unexpected reply, but it was enough for Hatori so he withdrew his hand and bowed. "You're such a clever man. It makes me wonder why you cannot compete against Akashi's intelligence. If you develop that mind of yours you can be smarter than him. Add up your misdirection with that and it'll be perfect."
"If that was praise, then I shall thank you. But I think I'm fine the way I am right now."
Hatori smirked. "Keyword: 'Right Now' my dear Kuroko Tetsuya. I shall grant your little wish and give you time to decide. I'll give you two days then. Just call this number and I'll quickly attend you." He was about to leave right after he placed a business card at the teal-head's palm, but he was surprised when a hand tapped his shoulder. He then turned and found Ogiwara Shigehiro glaring at him.
"I want to ask you a favor." The dark-head blurted out.
"It depends on the favor." He retorted and forced a smile. This better be worthwhile of my time.
Ogiwara stepped forward and blocked Kuroko from his sight. "I want you to take me with you when Tetsu finally chose to be at your side to save that jerk's reputation."
"Take you with me?" He echoed and raised his eyebrow in interest.
The dark-eyed shrugged and explained, "I want you to let me play alongside you guys and let me stay with Tetsu."
"Are you a worthy player?"
"That's the reason why there are coaches and training, right?" Ogiwara responded and frowned.
Hatori crossed his arms before his chest and smirked as a sign of ignorance. "And why would I agree with that favor of yours?"
"Because if you don't I will hunt you and do anything to ruin your plans. You're planning in taking either Akashi or Tetsu, right? And I know some ways how to refrain you from doing any of the two." Ogiwara clarified and smiled arrogantly. "It's nice to know I can use the knowledge my computer genius father had taught me."
He stared at the dark-eyed and the latter stared back at him. After a long moment, he broke the gaze and gave in, "Fine. I'll do it. The way you threatened me was so terrifying I shall not refuse. Well then, I shall take my leave. Good day, fine gentlemen." He bade, went in his car and drove away.
Kuroko turned and found his teammates' and friends' rueful look at him and it broke his heart how much they were worried about him and the decision he would make.
"Sorry everyone…" He apologized and looked up when Kagami approached him.
The red-head grinned at him and lifted a shaking fist. "Don't do anything stupid. You're my shadow. Please don't be idiotic." He mumbled and messed the teal-head's hair. "I know it must have been quite a time now, but you're still special to me, Kuroko, and I don't want you to be involved in any mess. Please, stop worrying us."
With this sad comment, Kuroko nodded and mumbled, "Sorry, really, Kagami-kun." After awhile, he turned towards his former bestfriend and found him staring back at him. "Shige-kun, I—"
Ogiwara shook his head and ruffled Kuroko's hair. "I don't want to be separated from you again, knowing how much you must have suffered already. I'll do anything I can to protect you, so don't feel guilty." He responded and took one of the phantom player's hands. "Let's go back in our room and rest."
In an instant, the two disappeared upstairs.
Kise stared at the staircase and sighed. "Kurokocchi's life sure is dramatic…"
His eyes widened when a calloused hand patted his head. He turned and found Aomine behind him and supporting him. "That's what life wrote for his story. Not like we can write our version of it."
"That actually sounded cool, Aominecchi." He commented and turned to face his partner. He received a smack at the head with his comment, which only made him chuckle in amusement.
"You're really an idiot, aren't you?" Aomine retorted and raised an eyebrow when Kise suddenly enveloped his waist with the blonde's arms. It was not tight, and it was actually comforting, which surprised the bluenette. Instead of another rude reply, he continued patting the copycat's head.
Takao was staring at the couple when suddenly—"ACHOO!" he sneezed. He sneezed again and shivered a little. "Dang, why did it suddenly turn cold? Did anyone lower the temperature of the air-conditioning units?" He complained and sneezed again. "…Shouldn't have worn…sleeveless t-shirt…"
"That's because you didn't take heed my warning that it may suddenly turn cold." Midorima scolded and crossed his arms infront of his chest.
"Ah, it's cold…" The dark-head mumbled and hugged himself. "Just when I want to play basketball outside…Geez…"
"You're over-reacting. It's not like it's that cold." The green-head replied and stared at his partner.
"It is cold, Shin-chan...Geez…"
"You're hopeless." The miracle shooter sighed, removed his overcoat and hung it on the dark-head's shoulders. "Be thankful I wore extra coats today or you will catch a cold later."
Takao sniffed the smell stuck on the leather coat and smiled in satisfaction. "It smells like Shin-chan." He mumbled and happily put on the coat. "Ah, so fluffy and warm."
Midorima frowned at him in exasperation. "You act like a kid."
"Nope, I don't. I just feel so loved." Takao defended and grinned up at his startled partner.
"Takao, you idiot!" was the green-head's tsundere-ish reply which Takao was expecting.
Murasakibara yawned after eating a whole pack of potato snacks. Yeah, he definitely enjoyed the scene earlier. A bit.
Himuro was surprised when a hand was suddenly clutching the edge of his sleeve. He turned and looked up at the violet-head. "Oh. What is it, Atsushi?"
"I'm sleepy, Muro-chin~"
Himuro smiled and patted his head after tiptoeing. "Hm? Where do you want to sleep?"
"The couch's fine, but I cannot sleep without Muro-chin~"
"Eh? Why can't you?" The dark-head mumbled and tilted his head. "Are you feeling ill?"
Murasakibara shook his head and pouted. "It's because you spoiled me so much and made me used to sleeping when you're beside me…Now I cannot sleep peacefully without Muro-chin…"
Instead of being flustered, Himuro felt more pleased with the violet-head's confession. He chuckled and readied the long couch. "Geez, I think I should stop spoiling you." He commented as Murasakibara followed behind him like he's Himuro's tail.
"Why do I have the feeling you're not sincere—" Because of the dark-head's glare, Kagami shut his mouth up.
"Come on, you can sleep now."
After few seconds, the center player was sound asleep as Himuro sat on the floor and laid his head against the former's warm stomach. Both now were asleep peacefully with each other's company. A very cute scene, indeed.
~LFMH021~
"Have they always been that close with each other?" Yahiro Ukama, the one with silver hair and eyes, mumbled in curiosity as Aomine and Kise went to the kitchen to make some sandwiches.
"Geez, Aominecchi, that's so gross! I mean you really tried putting mayonnaise in pizza?! That's gross!"
"No, it's not!"
"It is!"
"It's not!"
The two continued arguing until they entered the kitchen and their arguments turned into laughter as they started making weird sandwiches with odd ingredients as spread.
Hyuuga shrugged and yawned. "Nope. Well, they weren't when they were still First Years but after some time and perhaps because of Kuroko, they've gone close again. As in close."
"Hm, why'd you ask?" Kiyoshi, who placed his chin on top of the former's head, mumbled in suspicion.
Yahiro blinked and shook his head. "Nothing special."
"How about those two?" Sakuma Miroku, the one with indigo hair and eyes, murmured as he pointed at the green-head and dark-head that were walking outside.
Takao pouted and grumbled, "No, he doesn't."
"He does. You're just playing dumb with me and that quite annoys me." Midorima defended.
"He doesn't. Seriously Shin-chan, Miyaji-senpai didn't like me back then. He doesn't even look like a guy who'll like another guy." Takao grunted and sighed. "It's just your imagination."
"Looks can be deceiving, Takao. Remember that. Besides, what are you implying with the 'he doesn't look like a guy who'll like another guy'?"
"Uh…Well, it's true that we're—Ah, Shin-chan! Wait for me, Shin-chan, I was kidding!" Takao added and jumped on his partner's back. "Sorry, really!"
"Fine, get down."
"Nope. I love your smell."
"Takao!"
Koganei peeled off the skin of the banana he got out of nowhere and took a bite of it. "They're really that close since they entered First Year. They're partners. Takao's also –somehow—the shadow of Midorima." He answered and offered an apple at Mitobe.
The latter smiled and took the offer.
Yahiro nodded in understanding and took a glance, once again at the pair. "They're cute together…"
Marukawa Shoji, the last guard, who possessed lime hair and eyes and also the one with a scar on his left eyelid, replied, "Well. They are. But I think those two are cute as well." And pointed at the sleeping pair on the living room.
Everyone grew silent when Murasakibara sleepily opened his eyes and glanced at Himuro. "…Muro-chin?" He whispered and got no reply as the dark-head continued sleeping. "Ah, he's asleep~" He mumbled and ruffled his partner's hair gently. "Nighty night, Muro-chin~"
With a little movement, the violet-head enveloped one arm around his partner and went back to sleep.
"Aw, they're cute." Izuki teased and sighed dreamily.
"Shut up, Izuki." Hyuuga, who became disturbed with the Eagle Eye owner's girly sigh, grumbled.
Tsuchida chuckled and explained, "Those two have been one of the weirdest pair we've seen. A childish with a mature person. Opposites and yet the same. Those two have been partners since they were Freshmen."
"Oh, I see." Marukawa muttered to himself and blinked.
The three guards looked at one another, and then at the ones surrounding them.
"I know." Kagami suddenly blurted out.
They all turned and raised eyebrows in confusion.
"I know." Kagami repeated.
"Know what?" The three replied in unison.
"This villa is filled with homos."
~LFMH021~
After everyone has settled down on whatever he wanted to do, Kuroko slowly sneaked towards the backdoor and quietly twisted its' doorknob.
"Going somewhere?"
He turned and found a sober Ogiwara staring at him in suspicion. "Shige-kun."
"It looks like you're going to sneak out. Do you know how dangerous it could be to be out at this time of day?" The dark-head scolded and crossed his arms. "Whatever you need to do. Do it tomorrow."
"No." The teal-head retorted and stood firm.
Ogiwara sighed and mumbled, "I know what you're in. You're confused and worried at the same time. And surely, your mind's gonna explode soon with all of this, but don't be a moron."
"I'm not being a moron. I just want to think by myself."
"You can't face everything yourself. We're here. Everyone's here. I'm here." Ogiwara reminded and took steps towards his former bestfriend. He smiled gently and patted Kuroko's head.
"Shige-kun,"
"Just from the way you look—I already know what you're thinking and whatever happens, I'm going with you." The dark-eyed mumbled and leaned forward, his forehead touching Kuroko's.
"Shige—" The phantom player was cut off when Ogiwara leaned down a bit more closely and captured his lips. He was about to struggle, but he sunk deeply and couldn't swim into the surface of reality.
Be mine, Tetsu. Just be mine. Forget about Akashi. Return to being my shadow. Return to being my Tetsu.
~LFMH021~
"Who wants some snacks? We made some!" Koga announced as he placed trays of different pastries and sandwiches on the table in the living room.
"For those who are gone missing, please do find them, so they could also eat some snacks." Tsuchida added and placed different flavors of juices on the table beside the trays of pastries.
"I'll call Kise." Aomine, who got awake by the two's shouting, mumbled and sleepily stood up.
He shook his head to clear his fuzzy mind and looked around. That's weird, where's Kise?"
"Oi, Kise, where are—" Aomine quickly covered his mouth and hid behind the curtain as he sneakily peeked on the two familiar figures outside.
"I mean, how long has it been? Ten years? Geez, Yahirocchi!" Kise exclaimed and pouted.
What surprised the blue-head was when the Yahiro Usama laughed and ruffled the blonde's hair. "You idiot, that hurts, you know? I mean I haven't forgotten you and then you just forgot me like that! With how close we were when we were kids, I couldn't help thinking about you at times, Ryouta-baka!"
"Ouch! That hurts! Stop messing my hair, it takes me three hours to fix that!"
"WHAT? Three hours?!"
The two then looked at each other dumbly and laughed in sync. "Bullshit." He mumbled, and then he smirked, clenched one hand into a fist and punched the glass window with all he got. It shattered, but the dark-head didn't even care and strode towards his and Kagami's room.
"A-Aominecchi...?"
~LFMH021~
It shocked everyone when a glass window suddenly crash and shattered into the ground. They all turned and shockingly gaped at the culprit who was none other than Aomine.
Kise blinked. Was it just his imagination or was Aomine glaring at both of them?
He opened his mouth, but the bluenette already turned around and strode upstairs. Probably towards his and Kagami's room.
"A-Aominecchi?" He mumbled in shock and frowned in confusion.
"What's up with him?" Yahiro mumbled in annoyance. "Now look what he has done. He better replace that window he punched."
"Punched?" He echoed. "Aominecchi punched the glass window?"
The silver-head nodded. "He approached the window just a little while ago, looked outside, and then punched it hard. I think I saw his fist bleeding. He's stupid."
"Looked outside and then punched it hard?" Kise murmured and looked at the oblivious Yahiro, who was also staring back at him. That's when it hit –stabbed- him. Outside. Him. Yahiro. They were laughing. They were childhood friends. They were kinda lovey-dovey.
"Aominecchi's such an idiot." He mumbled and turned to his roommate. "Mind if I leave you for a little while?"
With this, Yahiro's eyes darkened. "Going after that guy?"
Kise enthusiastically nodded. "He can be stupid at times." He replied and stood up.
"If he's stupid then why would you go after him?
The blonde smiled. "Because he's super special to me. I'm nothing without him."
An answer Yahiro wasn't expecting. He had no other choice but to let the copycat go after the bluenette because preventing him from doing so would only make Kise sad, and he hated seeing the blonde unhappy.
~LFMH021~
"I'll just call Shin-chan!" Takao announced as he removed his arm covering his eyes, and stood up to find his partner who suddenly ran into somewhere earlier.
"Have you seen, Shin-chan?" He asked to Mitobe, who was passing by. The latter blinked and pointed towards the backyard. "Ah, the basketball court? Gotcha~ Thanks." He replied and ran there. "Shin-chan!" He called and blinked twice as he saw not only Midorima on the court but also Miroku Sakuma. "…Shin-chan…?" He whispered in disbelief.
"Like this?" Miroku queried as he held one basketball over his head.
"No, relax your hands and their angle should be like this or else the ball will not reach the ring."Midorima scolded and demonstrated the right position of the hands to shoot a three-pointer.
The indigo-head imitated the green-head and threw the ball after taking a breath. It swiftly went inside the hoop. "Yes!" He exclaimed. "I got it after five tries. I can say you're a great teacher, Midorima."
"No, I'm not." The green-eyed retorted and shoot one of his special shots.
"WHOA!" Miroku gasped and clapped his hands. "You're amazing."
And Takao just backed off as he realized that he just saw a light blush come out from Midorima's cheeks and he was pretty sure it was not because of the heat. "Well, shit." He cursed and laughed out loud humorlessly.
He then turned and walked back inside the house. "Koganei-san, I want some cupcake please!" And it was on purpose that he shouted that too loud, just enough for Midorima to realize he was there earlier.
~LFMH021~
"I got it after five tries. I can say you're a great teacher, Midorima." Miroku commented with a grin.
"You're a great tutor, Shin-chan! I answered the questions correctly earlier because you tutored me yesterday! Thank you!"
Remembering Takao's sweet grin and adorable voice, Midorima's cheeks burned. "No, I'm not." He retorted and shoot one hoop.
As usual, it went it.
"WHOA!" The indigo-head gasped and clapped his hands. "You're amazing."
"Shin-chan's so amazing!"
With this, his heart started beating faster again.
The feeling he got in his heart subdued when someone suddenly laughed out loud. They both turned towards the wall just behind them which was a turn to make to get back inside the house.
"Koganei-san, I want some cupcake please!"
He was pretty sure that Takao. "Takao?" He mumbled and ran towards the turn and found no Kazunari Takao. "What on earth…?" If he was here then he should have just approached me? And what's up with the creepy laugh just now?
"Don't you dare fall in-love with anyone else, Shin-chan! Or else I'll be so mad!"
"Waah, you just blushed, didn't you? So cute!"
"Shin-chan, don't you smile like that infront of anyone! I should be the only one who knows how beautiful you really are inside and out!"
Casting the memories aside, he massaged his temples in disbelief. "That idiot."
"Mido—Wait, that was Takao-kun just now, wasn't it?"
He nodded. "Sorry, but I'm just going to talk with him for a little while, if it'll be fine."
Miroku dribbled the ball. "He's that special, huh."
"What do you mean?" He asked.
The indigo-eyed shook his head and smiled. "Nah, nothing. Go on. It's fine with me."
With no more replies to give, the green-head sprinted off inside the house and called out his partner's name. They just met but Miroku was pretty sure that Midorima had a heart of gold and a very hard-working personality. At the same time, he's very kind and cares deeply. The green-head was definitely his type.
~LFMH021~
Himuro snickered as he saw what snacks he put on the tray he was holding. It was funny how he was able to get used to his partner's childishness. But it didn't really bother him, it was actually the only way for them to be together.
He was about to knock when he realized that the door was an inch open. Just right when he was about to call for the violet-head—he heard Murasakibara talk, "Maru-chin, what's that?"
Himuro peeked in and noticed the colorful lollipop the lime-head was holding.
"Ah, a lollipop. I bought it yesterday. Why? You want it?"
"Can I~?" The violet-head sweetly mumbled.
Marukawa chuckled, sat beside the violet-head and removed the crumbs of cookies on the latter's cheeks. "Alright, here you go, but brush your teeth afterward. I don't want to see you crying because of toothache later."
"Okay~" Murasakibara replied and didn't complain when the lime-head patted his gently, a gesture only Himuro was allowed to do so.
The said guy silently closed the door and went back downstairs. His smile was now gone and no one could seem to approach him.
"Hi-Himuro-san…?" Kiyoshi murmured.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just so annoyed."
"At what?"
"It's not a thing. But a person." Himuro corrected.
"…At whom then…?" Hyuuga filled in.
"I'M SO ANNOYED AT ATSUSHI BECAUSE HE CHOSE A LOLLIPOP OVER ME!" He yelled in jealousy and stomped towards the living room.
"…Lollipop…?" Kiyoshi and Hyuuga repeated at the same time.
~LFMH021~
He was preparing to go downstairs when he saw the amazing thing his roommate was holding. "Maru-chin, what's that?"
"Ah, a lollipop. I bought it yesterday. Why? You want it?"
"Can I~?" He replied.
He blinked when Marukawa approached him, wiped his cheeks and handed him the lollipop. "Alright, here you go, but brush your teeth afterward. I don't want to see you crying because of toothache later."
"Okay~" He replied and frowned when the lime-head patted his head. He was eating. He hated being treated as a kid by someone else. He hated being patted on the head. The only exemption on the last one was Himuro.
After awhile, they both looked outside the door when they heard a growl, "I'M SO ANNOYED AT ATSUSHI BECAUSE HE CHOSE A LOLLIPOP OVER ME!"
"Lollipop…?" He repeated and they both looked at the lollipop hanging in his mouth.
"Don't talk to strangers, Atsushi!"
"Go brush your teeth or you'll get a toothache. Go, go, go."
"Even if it'll be hard to reach your head, I want you to only let me, yes, me, pat your head and no one else, alright, Atsushi?"
"Well, Atsushi is special."
"Muro-chin~!" He whined, went down his bed and ran downstairs.
It surprised Marukawa but he had no say to it. Not when his roommate already fled and left him. Not when he knew that Murasakibara and Himuro were together. Not when the violet-head was already taken even if innocent and quite childish people were his type. Definitely Murasakibara.
~LFMH021~
Ogiwara sighed and slumped on his seat. "Tetsu left without telling me. Geez that stubborn phantom."
Everyone, who was in the living room, was eating snacks, drinking juice, and watching TV, turned his head to look on the area around the staircase when some ruckus suddenly started to rise up.
"Aominecchi, seriously, listen to me!" Kise grunted and ran after Aomine who was quickly walking down the stairs. "Aominecchi!"
"Shut up. Leave me alone. Don't come near me." The ace growled and slammed the door at the blonde's face.
Kise scratched his head and busted the door open and chased after the bluenette.
"What's up with those two?" Hyuuga mumbled at the sleepy Kagami.
"I don't know." The red-head yawned. "Aomine suddenly stomped inside the room few minutes earlier and then Kise came and called out for that idiot. Then the ruckus started because Aomine wouldn't even listen to that copycat."
"Probably a love's quarrel." Takao teased and took another cupcake. He was about to bite it when Midorima entered the house and glared at him. "Geh…" He gasped, stood up and ran upstairs. "I-I need to go to the bathroom!"
"Takao, come back here!"
"No." The dark-head shouted stubbornly and skipped steps just to reach the second floor.
Midorima did the same and chased after his partner. "You saw it, didn't you?"
"I saw you two, may I correct you." Takao grunted.
"I'm sure you're thinking things again. Come back here so I can bump my forehead with yours in case it'll work as a substation for explanation."
"No!"
"So…what about that pair?" Izuki muttered, fully confused.
Koganei shrugged.
Everyone gasped when gigantic steps almost created earthquake. They all turned and in a blink, Murasakibara was hugging the pissed Himuro from behind. "Muro-chin, I'm sorry. It's not like that~"
"No. I cannot get rid of the thought that you chose that lollipop over me." Himuro complained as he stood up and walked towards the spare room on the ground floor.
Murasakibara sobbed, "Muro-chin~!"
"No. Stay away from me. Go back in your room."
"Muro-chin!" The violet-head whined.
That's when Himuro shut the door and left Murasakibara outside. The latter sobbed and kicked the door open. It did and he stomped inside. "Muro-chin…!"
"No, don't you—"
And then BANG! The door was shut with quite a force.
"Oh, so them too…?" Kiyoshi murmured. "Whoa, what a day."
"Will they be alright?" Tsuchida mumbled in anxiety.
Koganei shrugged. "Don't mind them. Wait a minute then try peeking or eavesdropping. You'll be shocked."
They all waited a minute.
"So, who's going with me to peek or eavesdrop?" Hyuuga offered and led the team enthusiastically.
"I DO!" Koganei shouted, and then grabbed Kagami, Izuki, Ogiwara and Tsuchida with him.
First they went outside and found no idiot couple. They looked around and realized that there was a spare storage room few blocks away from the door. They tiptoed and leaned their ears on the door.
"Ah…Ah…W-Wait, Aominecchi! Mmmnnnn…"
GAAAAAAH! They all mentally screamed and went upstairs next.
They were about to knock on either of Midorima's or Takao's rooms but then heard rustles in the farthest bathroom. They gulped and approached it.
"Ugh, t-to the left, T-Takao…! Ah! Ah….Ha…Ha…Nnnnnnmmmm…!"
SHOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTT! They all gasped mentally and ran towards the spare room the cute pair entered.
"Ah…W-Wait, Atsushi…"
"I'll be gentle, Muro-chin. Here, I'll let you have my lollipop."
"Mmmmnnnn…."
WHAT THE-?!
Only the sound of the television and the others' laugh filled the living room as the six went back on their seat and ate quietly. Their faces flushed and their heart beat faster than normal.
"Shit. This villa really is filled with homos making out everywhere you go…" Kagami mumbled in disbelief. "How am I supposed to take a bath on the bathroom upstairs? My things are in there."
"How about this: You enter and then take your things away and then ta-dah!" Koga suggested.
"AS IF!" Kagami growled and then added, "Sorry."
"I guess the ace won't take any bath today. Don't go near him. You'll be passed on with his germs." Hyuuga teased.
The other laughed with this.
"UGH, GEEZ!" Kagami complained, which made them laugh even more.
~LFMH021~
Kuroko sighed as he let his feet drag him wherever they would take him. Not like he cared anymore.
I miss you, Sei-kun.
"Sei-kun, where are you?"
"I'm right here, you idiot." A voice he wanted to hear so badly replied.
He raised his head and before he could utter a word, he was enveloped within Akashi's warm arms. "I'm not dreaming, am I?" He mumbled.
"Of course not." Akashi responded and hugged him tighter. "I missed you."
Not able to contain his emotion, Kuroko started to silently cry on the red-head's chest. "Sei-kun…"
The Emperor closed his eyes and absorbed the warmth and sweetness he hadn't felt for quite a long time. He missed everything about Kuroko. His smell. His lips. His eyes. His expressions. His weirdness. His smile. His laugh. He missed him. So badly he could almost cry. But he wouldn't. Not in a place like this.
"Next time you're leaving, please do tell me because I hate surprises." Kuroko reminded and clutched his partner's cloth. "I missed you…"
What Akashi wasn't expecting was when the teal-head tiptoed and kissed his forehead. "What—"
"I missed you, Sei-kun…" Kuroko murmured.
Seeing the phantom player's sweet and welcoming smile, all of Akashi's exhaustion and stress faded away…and that's why his tears betrayed him too.
Trying to cover his tears and sobs, Akashi hugged Kuroko tight and whispered, "Tetsuya, the only person who can make me cry like this…Oh, how I missed you…"
A/N: 'I miss you' the words of the day! Hahaha, and that's the end of the Chapter Six.
Hope you enjoyed it, PLEASE REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW!
Sneak Peek:
He was about to leave when Akashi grabbed his hand. "Sei—"
"Don't leave yet."
"But…"
Akashi raised his head and stared at Kuroko with strict eyes. "Don't leave yet."
Taking no heed to the red-head's eyes, he mumbled, "Why?"
"Because…I still want you beside me. Is that bad?" Akashi demanded and that's when Kuroko realized that the former was just lonely. So lonely.
He turned and squeezed Akashi's hand. "Fine. I'll stay."
