Cold wind gently touches Akashi's face. The snow falls above his ruby colored hair. His heart hurts a lot like a great flame burning his insides, realizing he's the one who shall be punished, not Tetsuya.
From the moment he met Kuroko Tetsuya, his empty and cold heart suddenly becomes warm and the emptiness start to be filled with emotions. All of this before his bad side triggered by the pressure coming from his father and his position and capability as a captain has been questioned by Murasakibara Atsushi which he proved wrong. All the changes he made to Generation of Miracles are the reason of Kuroko's sadness. He clearly remember his conversation with Mayuzumi…
~Flashback~ Sai: I hate italicized flashbacks
"Gabriel? What are you talking about?" Aomine is puzzled on what Mayuzumi is saying because he know what angel is but not in names.
"Aominecchi, Gabriel is one of the archangels of God"
"You say that you're Kuroko's brother, so that makes him—" the green head is confused. He's truly aware of that kind of things but he doesn't understand why angels have relationship like brothers.
"—Err… you know guys, angels are God's creation from the start. So he serve as our father, that made us brothers… geez, even though Tetsuya is reborn here on earth, he still my brother" Mayuzumi scratched the back of his head.
"Elaborate, explain it clearly" Akashi ordered, Mayuzumi shuddered slightly feared his captain.
"There are nine types of angels which grouped into three spheres. I'm from the third sphere: Archangels which makes me the guardian of all people and physical things."
"What about Kurokocchi?"
"Well, let's say my position in sphere is nothing compared to Tetsuya, haha. He's in the first sphere and the highest position among angels: Seraphim. There are only four of them and one of them is Tetsuya. They are the closest to God."
"If he is close to God, why did he become a fallen angel, did Kurochin do something bad?" Murasakibara chomp maiubo in his mouth.
"According to one of the Seraphim I asked, God puts him in a mission so he is reborn as a human which is considered to be a fallen angel because once he turned into a human, he cannot go back being one of us. As for me, this is one of my physical form, my human form, to look for Tetsuya and guide him in his mission."
"The hell? And what about Haizaki?"
"Like I said, he do me a favor because he owe me. I don't know the details regarding Tetsuya's soul. Shougo told me it was about his father, Satan. The deal I think. We should ask him personally, I will try to contact him— so don't worry"
"Chihiro"
"Yes captain?"
"Can you help us?"
Mayuzumi's eyes widen, for the first time… Akashi Seijuuro, asked for his help.
"You know I will, and sorry for the things I said earlier on the court. I said those things because I'm angry at you."
"I know" Akashi smiled.
The Generation of Miracles and Mayuzumi Chihiro decided to team up to corner Haizaki tomorrow and save Kuroko's soul from whomever he made a deal with. The hope is not wavering nor fading. They promise to bring back Kuroko's soul and finally able to see his smile again.
Akashi will sacrifice everything he has for the only person he loves the most.
~End of Flashback~
"Good morning you're early Mayuzumi" Midorima greeted Mayuzumi upon seeing him in their meeting place.
"Yoh—Morning, nah I just feel like showing up early" the grey haired teen check his phone "what about you?"
"About me? Well I'm looking for lucky item of the day in the supermarket and I notice the time so I headed here" he sits in front of Mayuzumi. Their meeting place is a coffee shop.
Midorima ordered black coffee since there's no red bean soup available on the menu.
"Ah… It's so nice to be loved by many people…" Mayuzumi said out of nowhere "I know all of you are fond of Tetsuya"
"What are you talking about?"
"Haha… I love him…"
"HA?!"
"Tetsuya… I love him"
"Yeah, because he's your brother."
"No. I really do love him for the past billion years I think… It's kinda exaggerated because I really can't remember when I start liking and loving him."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because, among all five of you, who exactly can be called normal? As for my Captain, he is not normal—on a different level actually hahaha"
"Well that's true I might agree with you on that" he pushed up his glasses "I like him- love actually"
"Hmmm... I know" Mayuzumi smiled and drink his iced tea.
The two chat about what Mayuzumi's relation with Haizaki. Later that, Murasakibara arrive then Kise and then Aomine. The usual late-without-reason captain arrived 30 minutes late. When all of them are finally together, "do you manage to contact Haizaki?" Akashi asked Mayuzumi.
"Nope, I have other plan. We're visiting one of my brother, uhh.. I can say he is one of my workmates…"
"Work mate?" Akashi raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah… Uriel-kun"
