Trapped

A/N: I'm sorry for what is about to happen. It's an angst and I think this will be one of the most angsty chapter in the whole fanfiction depending on what I decide to do next... I'm not sure on what I want to do next so...

Akashi:

"Tetsuya," I say when Tetsuya opens the door and look up. My gaze doesn't fall on Tetsuya but on the muscular, tall and tanned figure behind him. Daiki. My heart stops. What the hell is Daiki doing with Tetsuya? I think back to the sounds and words I heard before I rang the doorbell - the noises coming out from Tetsuya's mouth.

"A-Aomine-kun,"

"Aomine-kun! Th-that hurt!"

"A-Aomine-kun, please stop! That's enough!"

"I won't leave you, Aomine-kun,"

I watch a few of his teal blue locks blow in the gentle breeze. His hair is messy, unlike before when we'd watched Cardcaptor Sakura 2. Those sounds... his hair... it can only mean one thing. They were... Tetsuya was... Daiki...

Instantly, I feel my heart sink and my stomach twist. I can only pinpoint one explanation. Tetsuya is cheating on me.

That would explain his constant lateness, his secrecy, him leaving so suddenly, his distrust in me, those noises, his annoyance with me. Everything has been so obvious, yet I couldn't see it. Tetsuya... is with Daiki. I never expected this - I never thought this would happen.

"T-Tetsuya..." I stammer, my voice giving away every single emotion that I feel in that moment. Hurt, disbelief, betrayal, all in one moment, all in one word, all in one voice. "I-I..."

"Akashi-kun?!" Tetsuya asks in shock, staring at me. "W-what are you doing here?!"

I watch Tetsuya's expression - shock - on his face and in his eyes and it immediately flashes into fear. What is he scared of? Hurting me? He's killed me, he can hurt me all he wants. But hurting Daiki? That could result in something bad. Daiki overpowers Tetsuya any day. He... he could hurt Tetsuya. But then again, he might not considering they just had such a good time.

"Y-you... seemed upset s-so I came to... check on you..." I explain quietly, wishing I'd never let my curiosity and concern get the better of me. I wish this had remained a secret. Maybe then, I wouldn't be so hurt. The hurt turns into anger as the fact begins to sink deeper and deeper. "I can't believe you'd cheat on me, Tetsuya!"

Tetsuya looks taken aback and hurt. How can he be hurt when I'm the one having to deal with the love of my life cheating on me? The only person I ever cared about more than my own self is gone. I feel like there is an empty void in my word, where Tetsuya once used to be.

"I'm not cheating on you!" he protests. I open my mouth to speak but Daiki's voice comes out.

"So, you're cheating on me?" he asks, his voice gruff, his glare dangerous. I watch as Tetsuya's face twists in confusion. His eyebrows slope, he starts to bite his lip and his eyes look so scared. He looks absolutely helpless. I want to pull him into a hug at that exact moment but I restrain from doing so. He belongs with Daiki. He no longer wants me in his life.

"N-no! I-I mean..." Tetsuya trails off and I can sense his frustration. I watch him lower his gaze and his forehead creases as he concentrates.

"Tetsu, did you cheat on me?" Daiki asks, his voice gaining volume with each word.

"A-A-Aomine-k-kun, I-I..." Tetsuya starts off but can't find the words to explain his actions so he shuts his mouth.

"You fucking bastard!" I hear Daiki's voice yell as he delivers a slap to Tetsuya's cheek. I stare at Daiki in disbelief and horror, not believing he just had the fucking guts to lay a violent finger on Tetsuya's beautiful, fragile frame. Something burns inside me - determination, I think, to protect Tetsuya - and I curl my fist. After preparing myself, I launch an uppercut and hit him square just under the chin. Daiki stumbles backwards in surprise and I find my mouth moving without me willing for it to.

"Lay another finger on Tetsuya and I will personally kill you. Is that clear, you fucking son of a bitch?"

Daiki gulps at these words but the fearless look on his face remains. Tetsuya is behind him, trying not to get involved and I notice cuts on his arms. It was either self harm because of Daiki or Daiki hurting him. Either way, Daiki will pay for ever hurting Tetsuya. Tetsuya is my world and if anyone hurts him, they pay the price.

Daiki shrugs and turns away and I reach for his shoulder to pull him back and yell at him about how he can't turn his back on me because I am absolute, when suddenly, Daiki stretches out his left hand.

Everything happens in slow motion.

He whirls around to try and hit but Tetsuya is in the path of his hand and ends up getting smacked in the head. He is flung backwards, into the doorframe of the living room and his head smashes against the wood. He collapses in a heap on the floor, lying in a pool of crimson red. Blood. Tetsuya's blood.

Time speeds up to normal again.

I stare in a daze of shock for a minute before I register that Tetsuya is unconscious. Everything in my body forces me past Daiki and I kneel beside Tetsuya.

"Tetsuya?! Tetsuya?!" I scream, panicked. I pull out my phone and rapidly call 9-1-1. They pick up. "Hello?! 9-1-1, this in an emergency, I need an ambulance now. Please! My boyfriend is unconscious and his head is bleeding. We're at his house. 23-790. Please hurry,"

The phone call ends and I get up and run into the kitchen. I grab a towel, scrunch it into a ball, fall down beside Tetsuya, and press the towel ball to his head. Apply pressure to the wound.

I can hear ambulance sirens nearby. My heart picks up speed. My breathing is laboured. Daiki kneels down beside me, muttering to himself, cursing himself.

"Oh, shit. What the fuck have I done? I'm so fucking stupid. Oh, God. Tetsu. Wake up. Please,"

My mind is hardly registering a thing apart from the fact the Tetsuya could be dying. I never ever thought that this would happen. I didn't think that... Tetsuya... would... die so... so young. A tear slides down my cheek. And after that comes the flood of tears. Daiki puts an arm reassuringly over my shoulder, although I can still hear his angry tone. At himself. At his personality. At him temper. At fate. At the world itself.

Tetsuya's skin is paler than ever, his eyes closed, his lips slightly parted, his head to the side. If it weren't for the paleness of his skin and the dark red liquid oozing out of his head and puddling around him, you'd think he's asleep. At that moment, I wish this was a nightmare. That Tetsuya was asleep next to me. That Tetsuya had never experienced this. That he was alive, well and happy.

Please be okay.

A/N: Oh, God, what did I just write? *sniffles* Well, that's all for now. Next time, it will be in Aomine's point of view. Man... I wonder what is going to happen to Kuroko. /3
