Regrets, regrets and regrets.
He was so remorseful. He was so angry. He was so helpless.
Akashi Seijuuro laid in bed staring at the ceiling.
He had finally calmed down. But he was still feeling guilty. Yes he was guilty.
"Where is Kuroko by the way?" he asked with sparkle in his eyes hoping to hear that he was late.
However, he didn't expect everyone's reaction.
Everyone froze and stared at each other.
"So guys, tell me what's going on?" Akashi threatened, a scary aura surrounded him.
They all gulped.
"Don't make me repeat myself" he said once again and the temperature in the hall dropped considerably, even people around them noticed that and knew better than to bother the rainbow haired squad.
Momoi cleared her throat and was about to say something when Midorima interrupted her "Let's go to a private place, people are staring at us-nanodayo" pointing to some patients, visitors and even hospital staff.
"Alright, where should we go then?" the crimson haired man asked coldly and his tone could make someone run away.
"Let's go to an unoccupied room, since it's a hospital there are rooms for night shift employee-nanodayo" Midorima declared leading the way. They were all following him and were unusually quiet.
'What the hell is going on?' Akashi thought 'What happened to you, Tetsuya? They are all so secretive.' He clutched his fist. Worry and anger started to take the best of him.
They checked three rooms and finally found an unoccupied one. Midorima opened the door with his right hand while the other held his lucky item of the day, a dolphin plush, and let the others enter first.
In passing, he still bandaged his hands for precision during surgery.
Anyway, the room was surprisingly bigger than what it looked from outside. It had a medium-size couch with cushions, two opposite bunk beds and a little table. Momoi and Aomine sat in the couch and since Aomine outstretched his legs there were no place beside them. Kise and Midorima sat in one bed while Murasakibara, who had stopped munching his chips since Akashi asked for Kuroko, sat in the opposite. Akashi stood still and waited for the others to start talking. He was growing impatient and anxious but decided not to urge them judging by their attitude.
"Aka-chin, I think you should sit down" Murasakibara said seriously even though he still had a childish tone in his voice.
Akashi stayed still for a moment and gestured Midorima to start. Then he sat beside Murasakibara. Midorima cleared his throat and was wondering where he should start. Akashi was really puzzled upon seeing everyone's behavior. He became really worried and didn't even know anymore if he wanted to hear what had happened.
Midorima cleared his throat once again and finally started to talk.
"Mr Akashi" someone knocked at the door "the dinner is ready" he heard one of his maid announce. When he didn't answer, she decided to enter checking if Akashi was asleep or not. When she saw him in bed and awake, she immediately apologized and bowed. Akashi dismissed her and told her that he wasn't hungry. She nodded and left.
Akashi heard his phone buzz and reached for it. He watched the caller ID and decided not to take the phone call. It was one of his co-worker and he didn't feel like talking about work after this another awful day.
After a while, he got up and went to the bathroom. He filled the bath tub with hot water and immersed his all body and his head into the warm water. He closed his eyes and some memories from high school came back to him.
Akashi and Kuroko started to date after they won against Jabberwock (A/N: I'm sorry for spoiling*bow*). Akashi asked Kuroko out and the latter accepted. He didn't realize at first it was a went to a restaurant and they were walking in the park. That's when Akashi chose to confess to the teal haired teenager. Kuroko was speechless because he liked Akashi too and didn't know how to react. He stayed there with wide-eyes and his mouth opened. Akashi thought he was rejected and was about to say something when Kuroko hugged him and whispered that he only could hear"me too". Akashi froze for a moment to process what was being said and done and hugged Kuroko back, pulling him closer to his chest.
Akashi opened his eyes and pulled his head above the water. He sighed deeply and began to sob. He couldn't hold back his sadness, his anger, his regrets, his worries, his frustration, his guilt, all his feelings and he was in so much despair. Why did he feel so helpless? He should have been there! Yes he should have been there to protect him and to do everything he could to see his smile, to hear his laugh and to stare at his beautiful light blue eyes again. Just one more it's not too late, he still could do something. If there was a single hope, he would take it. Tears were flowing non-stop and were mixed with the bath water. His body shook because of sobs and anger. He was feeling hollow at this very moment. He was so hollow. He felt helpless and for someone who was best at everything, it was the worst feeling ever.
He managed to get out of the tub after he finally stopped crying, he washed his face and started to brush his teeth. His eyes were puffy and red. He hated his reflection. He swore to himself that he wouldn't feel that way ever is absolute after all. He would never feel this helpless and hollow again. He would make his moves. He smirked when he was thinking of what he was going to do.
"Well, do you remember when his grandmother died?" Midorima questioned. Akashi nodded and the guilt in his eyes was obvious.
"He went missing after his grandmother's funeral. His parents were worried sick and so did we." the green haired man continued "We wanted to inform you but your father stopped us from doing so. We had been looking for him without your help since you were unreachable." He stated pushing his glasses in the bridge of his nose.
There was a long pause after Midorima said those words waiting for Akashi to react or to say something. When he saw the latter with a poker face with no reaction, he didn't even arch a single brow.
He continued. "After three months, he reappeared and was not desperate anymore. We were all relieved to see him again like his usual self but didn't realize at that time that something was off about h-"
"Dammit, if only we have noticed something was wrong, we would do something" Aomine cut the megane man off and was standing all of sudden clutching his fists really hard
Midorima glared at him for being interrupted, he didn't say anything though. He was actually feeling the same way as Aomine after all. Plus, he let Momoi calm him down.
"So what happened next?" Akashi asked impatiently and the temperature seemed to drop with his cold voice.
"Where did I stop?"He asked to himself "oh yes, we didn't realize back to this time that something was off with Kuroko"
"Only when he announced that he got married with Haizaki, few days after he came back, that we knew there was something happening. So we tried to reach you again but to no avail." He kept on talking.
"We decided to fix it ourselves, we were afraid for Kuroko but he said that it would be okay and Haizaki was different"
He sighed "After two weeks, he disappeared. Phone number was unavailable and even his parents didn't know where he was. Now, we still have no clue about where he is."
The atmosphere became heavier by the minute after he kind of summarized the whole story. Akashi couldn't shake this feeling that they were hiding something from him.
"If he is still with Haizaki and he cannot be reached, it means that he is isolated and …" Momoi said and looked like she was on the verge of tears "We were tempting to call or even going to America to inform you but your father seemed to have relations so he managed to tackle our plan to reach you whenever we were trying to call you or email you."
Akashi knew what that meant and didn't say anything. He knew everybody was watching him but he didn't care. He just stood up and left the room mentioning Midorima to show where he should go to prepare his father's transfer. The intern was a bit taken back by his behavior. He expected Akashi to scold them. He showed the red haired the ways he should follow. He was about to lead the way but Akashi prevented him from that.
They followed Akashi. After a while, the uncrowned kings and Mayuzumi arrived. They greeted him and all said "Sorry for your loss" one by one. Akashi thanked them and sensing his mood and the tense atmosphere around the generation of miracles they chose to keep quiet. They helped Akashi with the preparation and once everything was done, the businessman left for Kyoto. When he arrived in Kyoto at 10 am, he organized everything out such as the place where the funeral would take place, flowers as decoration and other decorations, his father's portrait and outfit, his outfit, the monk, food and music.
After everything was done, he went to his mansion. He immediately collapsed in his bed and stare at his ceiling. He didn't even have lunch. All the employees were worried about him. Aside from the chauffeur, all of his household employees saw him growing up. But they knew better than to disturb him. They all understood he wanted to be alone for some time.
Akashi was in bed, pajama on and covered with blanket. He wished Masaomi to be there to explain him why he had hind his friends from contacting him. He was puzzled with his father's attitude. However, he couldn't be mad at him. After all, maybe the former CEO had his reasons. He felt drowsy all of sudden. It was normal after the tiring day he had spent and the tears he had shred. He was beyond tired, he was exhausted. He fell asleep. The next day would be his father's funeral. The day after that he had decided to look for his beloved one and to save him. He knew deep inside that the blue haired man needed to be saved.
