GENERAL POV
"He's asleep now, the shot i gave him should put him out until tomorrow"
it has been 5 hours since Tetsuya's sudden episode, since everyone heard Akashi's ear splitting shout .
stopped what they were doing when they found Akashi sitting by the sandy beach with a restless unconscious Tetsuya. muttering incoherent words in akashi's arms.
the hysterical state in front of them broke their hearts .
knowing about the Bluenette's State is nothing compared to actually seeing it.
-Flashback-
the moment Dmitri arrived holding a syringe containing a suspicious clear liquid. moments after injecting the hysterical blunette, he seemed to settle down though his face was still paler than usual and still crying.
As Dmitri picked up the unconscious man from Akashi. The way he held their Former shadow was as if he was holding a precious being made of the finest of glass that could be broken into tiny little unrepairable pieces. Secured in the Russian man's arms murmuring gentle words of comfort against kuroko's powder blue locks.
At that moment Akashi saw another side of the duos' relationship. Most specifically a glimpse of Dmitri's heart.
It broke everyone's heart. To see a part of kuroko's broken sanity.
-End of Flashback-
Dmitri unceremoniously sups down on an empty chair leaning back and leans his head back and sighed deeply.
&how is he?&, asked an equally tired looking Akashi who is sitting on a a single sofa seat gripping both sides of the hand rest a sign that the red headed CEO is not as calm as he looks.
"Daaahh!", the sound a happy baby lightens the Russian man's heart a bit. he watched an Momoi who has been looking after the growing boy while he tended on Kuroko.
the happy baby began to slap on his chest when Momoi puts Adrian on his fathers chest.
the baby's antics managed to put a smile on the faces of the adults around him.
"Techuu?", the baby began to make grabby hands towards the door where kuroko is.
at this Dmitri chose to just settle his son stomach to stomach getting him comfortable to put him to sleep, it was almost too easy but the baby settles down and rests his little head on his father's waits and pats and gentle rubs his baby's head and back to let the baby relax.
"he stopped crying a few hours ago, but he continued to call out to his mother and apologizing", Dmitri explains
There was a momentary before the older man spoke once more.
"No matter how many times it happens i never get used to it, and i fear i never will. 13 years, 13 year almost 14 i stood by tetsu and supported him so he could be the man he is now, and i will continue to till the bitter end."
Akashi who has been occupied with own thoughts catches a slight tone in Dmitri's last words, something that sent chills right to the very core of his thawing heart.
"What are you trying to say?". Akashi's arctic tone caught everyone's attention, surprising them since they haven't heard this akashi in a while, and one look at their Emperor they all know this is the full blown Gold Emperor sending threatening vibes at the Russian man.
The tension was not left unnoticed by the silent baby who has been lying peacefully on his father's chest securely. This caused to upset the baby, a tiny whimper escapes the baby alerting Dmitri.
Not wasting another moment before his son goes on a full blown crying session, Dmitri stand up securely holding the whimpering bundle in his arms and began cooing comforting sweet nothings again the babys temple, Adrian tucking his tiny head in his father's neck as he strategically place his tiny fist against his mouth and calms a bit.
"Im taking Adrian to bed", Dmitri simply states as he makes his way back to where The slumbering bluenette is, just before he enters the room, Dmitri turns his head slightly to make eye contact with the seething emperor as gears began to move in his mind calculating and strategizing to prevent the inevitable storm.
Looking at Akashi he decided to taking a gamble, it was either shit blowing up in their faces or Tetsu's Demon will finally be put to rest.
Taking a deep breath he lets his pan in motion as he finally speaks.
"Do any of you honestly think, a person who has been through such calamities would simply gather his pieces by himself, and Not go through many more to get to where he is now?".
"Wh-what do you mean", Momoi who is in the verge of tears shakenly ask even though everyone knows she knows what the answer was.
"Lets just say, Tetsuya had to kill his demons using other demons, you know Fire with Fire... and right now Tetsuya is fighting a demon HE can Never hope to beat ... sigh... i never told any of you about it because it was not for me to talk about. It would difficult for him but he has to... good night".
And with that Dmitri entered the room with his son leaving everyone to digest the new information, and the cold hard truth that Tetsuya is no longer the Tetsuya they knew.
But in the midst of the gloominess, burning spirit and determination heats up among the GoM.
'Tetsuya/Tetsu/Kuro-chin/Kurokocchi/Kuroko'
ÑNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
-THE NEXT MORNING- Kuroko POV
I was back.
I was back in the peaceful meadow this time instead of endless trees all around the meadow there was now an ocean on one side.
This ocean was clean, there were big fluffy clouds resting in the sky, it was sunny but the sun could not be seen anywhere the sun was not burning but instead it was radiating a calm warmness to my skin.
I make no move to get close to the ocean a heavy fell of dread was flowing rom that general direction.
Fear was slowly rising within me.
Suddenly my heart drops as my body suddenly began to move its way towards the body of water.
And just like any dream sometimes you just have all the control and just let your subconscience to do what you desire that the regular you would never do.
and by the looks of it this dream is telling me that i want to be able to go into the ocean again.
'fuck you too brain', sighing, i finally reach about 5 steps away from the water, i waiting for what will happened wether somehow my body will just walk into the water and just never submerge ever again or i would stay still and watch as a giant tsunami forms from he distance horizon as it slowly reaches me and get wiped out.
My thoughts caused a giggle to bubble out of me which surprised me considering i was think of ways to die at the beach.
"i've always been jealous of the ocean"
A voice suddenly spoke from behind me, a familiar voice, i fear racks though me once again afraid of what she would look like this time.
Eventualy i turn around, and what greeted my eyes was my mother but this time she was clean, not a single drop of blood anywhere on her body, her powder blue hair was clean, so was her clothes. But what stood out the most was the real heavy duty looking wheelchair she was sitting on.
A rebelious sob breaks out my lips, covering my mouth with both my hands as i stare straight at my mother sitting there, like it was the reverse of my episode, with me standing before the water broken once again while she sat there smiling and watching me.
She patiently waits or me to calm down, eventually i do at least enough for her to continue talking.
"after leaving Russia to go into hiding i would go to the beach near my apartment and take ong walks there and enjoy the calm serenity only the ocean could create, i always loved the ocean, baby, i always thought that it was the only thing that connects me back to Russia and my parents."
I listened intently holding to her every word, it was weird ike any dream i could hear her but at the same time there was no sound.
As my mom spoke i realized hafl way that i have regained control of my body and used that opportunity to get a tiny bit closer, still apprehensive that this dream would turn into a messed up nightmare.
I watched my mother talk, not understanding the words that's coming out of her mouth, but at the same time understand what she's talking about. Fully content on just watching her features, but my dream never letting me forget that this is a dream, by the way the soft breeze blowing doesn't move a single stand of her hair or clothes, how she hasn't taken a single breath or blinked once since she showed up.
Little by little, the words that has been coming out of her mouth seem to decrease until it ended to a full stop.
"Tetsu.", she calls in a gentle demand for my full attention, "stop Surviving", her words shakes my very core, i stare at her wide eyed now that she has a 100% of my attention.
"you need ..to ...start living... again", the vision of my mother seem of flicker and her voice is becoming softer and lower. Indicating that she is about to disappear from my dream, realizing this panic soon builds within me. Not ready to let go of her.
And all so suddenly she was gone.
Panic
Franticly looking around, back and forth even towards the sea i got as close as i could by the waves wit out getting too wet.
"m-mom?!"
I turn back around intending to run back towards the meadow, at this point i was willing to find the night mare version of her, i just wasn't ready to let go of her. As i get closer to my meadow, i see a hint of powder blue amongst the meadow, which has changed, before it had a variety of different flowers now only has, pink flowers, they are soft and simple looking, but for some reason seeing them all around give me a nice indescribable feeling.
And among them my mother seem to lose her wheelchair and now there was more features to her that indicating she seemed more real, there was movement on her now her hair gently waving along the breeze, blinking and breathing. She was sitting among the flowers gently humming to herself her side was facing me just minding her own business, For some reason she seemed like a complete different person from the one i saw before. Seeing her gives me a warm feeling. A feeling only you get when seeing you mom, like coming home after along time away.
I freeze, unable to take another step towards her, she seemed to notice movement in my direction and found me standing there. Her face lights up and smiled happily at me, that's when i noticed she seemed younger.
Standing up she made her way towards me and pulled me towards where she sat pulling me down along where she sat, she sat me down directly in front of her and began rummaging around the collection of pink flowers she's been fiddling with, resuming her humming as she weave the pink flowers into a crown.
Finishing her creation she holds the crown out looking at it with appreciation, shifting her gaze she looks at me asking silent confirmation from me. This version of my mom doesn't seem to be as talkative as the last one.
Startling me she hops onto her feet and pranced around me and placed the crown on top of my hair, like it was a coronation.
I looked up at her contently watching her pure and innocent joy, her freedom, she looked so youthful and joyful. She began dancing, skipping, throwing more pink flowers all around us like everything is alright, and nothing is wrong, like nothing bad will ever happened again.
Like she was Alive.
She seemed to fade slowly into the distance which happened to be towards the ocean , a heavy feeling build within me once again. But this time i don't panic as i caught sight of something .. or someone, standing by the coast peacefully gazing out into the horizon, casually standing there with both their hands in their pockets.
Without realizing i was suddenly a few steps behind him, he also seemed so real, he was taller than me by a head, soft looking red lock, dancing along the sea breeze, he was wearing a soft looking well fitted clean white Button up long sleeve shirt, and green khaki pants that just reaches bellow his knees.
He seemed so familliar, he gives me a nice warm feeling, a different warm feeling my mom gave me.
I make my way next to him where he stood, i continues to gaze upon the horizon just feeling watching, breathing and listening ... Living.
And he looked Absolutely stunning.
I watched his features for another moment before turning infront of me and watched the horizon like him.
The longer i Watched, i noticed little things around me, the soft waves, how it crashes on the shore water reaching our bare feet, mesmerized at the Feeling of the water caressing my toes and feet, the cool feeling it leaves, then i caught the Smell of the ocean, the smell maee me feel like i was Breathing for the first time.
As i digest all these feelings i feel a warm hand affectionately wrap my own.
This caused me to look at the man next to me again.
Who was now facing me fully face unreadable but his eyes speaks loudly, like it could not see anything but me, a almost invisible smile on his lips. Adoring my whole being.
"Live, with me."
A rush of air fills my lungs as i gasped awake jerking to a sitting position, wide-eyed and very much awake, gripping the soft sheets that fell on my lap, awake and not feeling a single hint of grogginess from waking up.
Once i got a grip of myself, i tried to remember what made me wake up dramatically, a Dream.
I felt like i woke up from a dream but i couldn't remember it. But for some reason i felt lighter, like a massive weight just lifted of my shoulders.
Taking a deep breath i look around me and scanned the room i was in. It was dark but judging from the light blue colour of the sky outside the window it was almost dawn.
I caught a figure sitting on the love seat. It was Dmitri's tall figure, sleeping, while keeping a secure hold on the sleeping baby comfortably positioned on his daddy's stomach with his little hand strategically place against in his mouth snoring softly, his head laid against his daddy's heart. A sign that the baby probably had to calmed down to sleep
I decided to get up to go get a drink, my throat was abnormally dry like i haven't had any water in years.
Carefully moving off my bed, careful not to rouse the pair, i grab the blanket off my bed and eased the warm sheet over the father and son. Placing a kiss on Adrian's chubby cheek and one on Dmitri's Forehead a silent thank you for watching over me.
Quietly closing my bedroom door, carefully even though i know the father and son were a pair of heavy sleepers.
Letting out a sigh when i managed to close my door with minimal noise made.
Relaxing, only for my heart to drop when i turned around and was greeted by a view of my cabin living room filled with my friends all asleep. Thank lord i was quiet.
I stiffly made my way to the kitchenette and grabbed a water bottle in my mini fridge. The groaning of my fridge makes me cringe, making me swear silently a mile a minute. I quickly make my way out my cabin since i can't chill in there with it full of sleeping guests. So i opted with the middle island in the camp site.
Making my way to the island kitchen, i unscrew the cap of my water bottle and took a big swig of water. The water felt amazing as i swallow, cool and refreshing.
"well now what?", i ask myself.
I had nothing to do since everyone was asleep and the hotel was 10 minute walk unless i used one of the cars we rented, but if i did that and went to the hotel and one of them wakes up with me missing that will probably give everyone a heart attack and that would be the end of the vacation.
Wouldn't want to kill my long lost friends just when i got them back .. hehe.
Did i just seriously joked about people dying?.
Must be some dream, making me joke about death and be ok with it. Waiting a moment to see if my feelings would change and ... nothing. Huh.
Maybe i've finally cracked and am fully asylum insane.
I feel my stomach growl reminding me that i didn't have any lunch or dinner yesterday, since i snapped and Dmitri Stuck a needle on me. I contemplated on cooking something since the fridge probably has something. But i didn't want to eat alone.
A light catches my attention from towards the ocean, the sun was rising.
I was floored.
The ocean was beautiful.
The smell.
The view.
The breeze.
The dream.
I dreamt of the ocean?... no there was more. But i know the ocean was there.
Without realizing i snapped out of my dazed when i felt water caressing my feet, just like in my vivid dream. And just like my dream ... it felt nice and cool.
The breeze was soft and comforting, seagulls calling from the sky.
I don't how long i was standing there just appreciating the comfort surrounding, because now the sun is already half out and the sun's hear was warming me up.
"TETSUYA!"
Someone shouts my name from behind me and the person was clearly running towards me, as soon as i turned around to check who caused that shout i was suddenly being held tight but securely by a very nicely built body, probably not as built at Ahomine or Bakagami, but enough to be called fit and it felt Yummy against my own body.
I savoured the feeling until i realized who was holding me for dear life ... Akashi.
My face considerably warms up suddenly and my whole structure just goes rigid and stiff.
Akashi seems to notice, and mistakes it as me about to have another break down but really its just me blushing like a school girl. Gripping his shirt with both my hands at the sudden close proximity.
Akashi seem to be lost in his own worry, then i was reminded he was the poor soul that i traumatized with my sudden break down yesterday. He was murmuring soft frantic nothings to me, fully misunderstanding why i was ankle deep in the water.
He maybe overreacting but i totally know where he's coming from and i felt guilty for doing this to the man i secretly yead over heels with.
Then my attention finally clicked on what he was whispering to me. And it just melted my heart in to a puddle.
"... kay, everything is ok, im right here, love, im right here, i will not let anything happened to you, love, don't be scared my beautiful phoenix...TETSUYA", he chanted, out of breath after the sprint towards me.
Once again i was floored and speechless. I didnt know what to do, he was calling me nicknames i've never heard him call me, love, phoenix?. Even when he calls my name it sounded like it held way more meaning .
He plants a lingering kiss on my forehead. He was now rubbing soothing circles on my back with one hand, while the other is settled on my lower back holding me in place.
I held still just milking in all the innocent sweet gestures was the undoing of me.
Raising my head slowly so i wont accidentally headbutt Akashi's chin, which he easy moved allowing me to move, my wide eyes almost instantly locks in with his red ones that looked like they were holding so much emotion than it probably should.
The sight grips me heart and my mind blanks.
The feels this precious man makes me feel was just too foreign, so new to me my brain probably short circuited, because i have no explanation as to why i did what i was about to do.
I reached my hand to grab hold of Akashi's neck, pulled his face down, closing what little distance we had from each other ... and Kissed him.
ÑNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
