This is a roleplay story done by KurokoTetsuya101 and The Lucky Bell.
After the two had fallen asleep, they didn't get much rest before there were some knocks on the door. Used to the sound, Kuroko woke up. He noticed Akashi was asleep beside him and he woke him up immediately. This time Akashi left the room when Kuroko told him to unlike last time where Akashi took too long.
Despite what happened, Kuroko still went to school. He couldn't just forget about school, his parents would be suspicious otherwise. However for the past few days when he's been at school, he noticed that he doesn't see those kids that harassed him anymore. He wondered if something happened to them.
Even if they're gone, Kuroko did not forget at all. He still remembered their hands, their threats, and the boy's rough kiss... It made him sick to his stomach and uncomfortable, no matter where he was. It didn't help that Kuroko noticed how Akashi doesn't kiss him and avoids touching him directly. He knew it was because Akashi was angry with him. Why would Akashi stop treating him as a boyfriend otherwise?
Kuroko tried blocking it out of his head. His basketball test was in about a week or so and he wanted to pass. If he passed, that meant Kagami could play as well. He needed to do this, for Kagami and for himself. For that week, Kuroko tried his hardest despite things being awkward between him and Akashi. He really did need to pass.
Eventually the day of the test did come. This test would determine if he was good enough to join the team, or if he was still worthless at basketball. Akashi, for some unknown reason to Kuroko, decided to walk with Kuroko to the gym after school. Probably so the team didn't make fun of him if they remembered his last test.
"Its time to show the fruits of your effort. Are you ready Tetsuya?"
"I suppose so..." Kuroko mumbled. He was a little nervous. What if he messed up again? What if he forgot his own basketball style? Or what if he just wasn't ready?
Akashi glanced at his date, noticing his nervousness. "Don't worry. You've been practicing for a month now and I've been overseeing your progress. Trust me when I say that you're ready. Of course, I'll be there as well during the test."
"Alright. If Akashi-kun says so..." He still wasn't sure, even if it did come from Akashi. However he supposed he wouldn't know until he tried. "I'll do my best."
"I look forward to it." Akashi said just as they walked up to the doors of the gym. In the distance, the two saw a figure standing in front of the door but couldn't really make out who it was until they got closer. Once the did, they found out that it is Kagami standing in front of the doors, looking as if he's waiting for someone.
The large redhead turned around, noticing his best friend and the captain finally arrive. Kagami walks up to Kuroko. "Oi Kuroko! What's the big deal? Why did Kise tell me to come here? Could it be... one of your tricks?" Kagami looks at Akashi suspiciously.
"Of course not." Akashi crossed his arms as the two redheads exchange intimidating glares.
"No, Kagami-kun. It's not that. I'm... trying out for the team again. However I didn't know that Kise-kun contacted you to come as well." Kuroko admitted. He should have remembered to tell Kagami to come so he could try out as well, but with what happened not long ago, he was kind of mixed up.
Akashi leaned in to whisper, "If you pass, Kagami is automatically accepted as well." so that Kagami doesn't hear before pulling out and walking towards the doors, opening them.
"What's his deal?" Kagami looked at Akashi's retreating figure in annoyance before facing his best friend again. "It's not late to back away Kuroko. Are you sure about this?"
"I'm sure." Kuroko said with a small sigh. He wished that Kagami wouldn't be so harsh around Akashi and jump to conclusions. "I'll do fine. I swear. I'm going to get on the team so we both can play."
Kagami looked at Kuroko, noticing that something really did change about him... he seems more confident than ever. Kagami smiled as he placed his hand on top of Kuroko's head, ruffling his hair. "If you say so partner! Kick their butts!"
Kuroko was a bit annoyed that Kagami ruffled his hair but he wasn't too bothered. The motivation did cheer him up. "Thanks, Kagami-kun. I'll do my best."
"Alright! Let's go." Kagami took Kuroko's hand and dragged him to the gym, excited but also a bit wary of what will happen. Nevertheless, whatever happens Kagami is determined to stand by Kuroko's side.
Kuroko followed Kagami so he didn't end up falling when Kagami pulled him along. "We'll finally be able to play together if I succeed, Kagami-kun…"
Kagami suddenly turned around to face his best friend. "What do you mean?" Kagami has no idea of the deal Kuroko and Akashi made so he doesn't know. Instead, he looks at Kuroko in confusion.
"Ah... Well..." How could he explain it? "Well, Kagami-kun would have been on the team if it wasn't for me. So you can still join whenever you want. So that means if I join, you'll be able to join easily."
Kagami stood in place thinking about what Kuroko said when a light bulb lit on top of his head. "Oh! I get it. Then I'm counting on you Kuroko." Kagami ruffled Kuroko's hair again. The redhead didn't dwell much on it. After all, he's not called 'Bakagami' for nothing.
Kuroko sighed in relief. He was glad Kagami wasn't the most smartest person and could see right through him. "Alright. Let's get this over with..."
"Akashicchi! I'm here!" Kise yelled as soon as he ran in the gym. He was panting just slightly. "Finally here... Sorry, a group of girls found me and chased me for a while." He apologized quickly, not wanting the redhead to kill him for being a minute late.
"Do 10 laps around the school." Akashi said, not even turning around to look at the blonde, instead he looked at today's schedule. But first of all there will be Kuroko's test, and when he passes he will have to join the training as well. It made Akashi extremely happy that he will be able to spend more time with his date.
"Akashicchi! That's unfair!" Kise whined. He was tired and now he had to run more!
Kuroko ignored Kise and headed over to Akashi. "So... When do I start the test, Akashi-kun? What will I do for this test?"
Akashi ignored Kise as well and looked at his watch. Club activities officially start so everyone should be here. "We'll start now. We'll have two teams of three play against each other. The team that wins the first quarter wins the match. You can pair up with Kagami and one other person."
"Alright..." Kuroko didn't know anyone there except Akashi, Kagami, and Kise. "I guess I'll have Kise-kun, if that's allowed."
"Yes please!" Kise didn't really want to run around the school ten times.
Akashi gave Kise the 'glare' before sighing. "Alright. Don't slack off Ryouta."
"Got it!" Kise saluted. He'd do anything to escape Akashi's wrath. "Now! Do your best, okay?" He mostly said it to Kagami but he did glance at Kuroko. He would be killed by Akashi if he was mean to Kuroko. "And you," He pointed at Kuroko. "Show me what you got, alright?"
"O...okay...?" Kuroko didn't know why Kise was being nice but didn't question it.
"Che! Don't get in my way blondie! I'm going for the win." Kagami stretched as he walked over to the center of the court. "I'll jump." He said without even asking Kise if he wants to do the jumping.
Akashi observed from the sidelines, along with the rest of the club members who sat on the chairs behind him. He turned around to face the group. He looked at each one of them, deciding whom to pick.
"You three! You will be their opponents. I expect only perfection in your play understood?"
"Y-Yes!" The three club members stood up, putting on their green jerseys before going onto the court. While the three had green, Kuroko's team had red. Now, Akashi glanced at his wristwatch ready to start the game.
"Maybe I wanted to jump." Kise pouted to himself, crossing his arms.
"Don't mind Kagami-kun. Let's just do our best." Kuroko said, ready to play. Kise glanced at Kuroko before getting ready to play as well. The boy is just like last time, Kise thought. Kuroko was still so determined.
Akashi waited until everyone was ready to begin. He saw Kuroko spare a glance at him, which made him smile and wave to his date. But now that everyone was ready, Akashi took out his whistle and blew on it, signaling the beginning of the match.
"Alright!" Kagami jumped high and caught the ball, passing it to Kuroko right from the start.
Kuroko made sure to remember everything that Akashi taught him. He couldn't let Akashi and Kagami down. He relaxed before focusing on the game. He saw the ball being passed to him and he took action. Just like how Akashi taught him to.
Even though the game just started, it seemed like everything stopped already. Everyone on the court was surprised for a few moments, especially Kise. How did the ball suddenly fly into his hands? Nevertheless, Kise ran to make the basket and succeeded while everyone was still shocked.
Akashi smiled, proud of his date. Kuroko had performed splendidly over the past month, perfecting his technique to perfection. All of the work he did showed in that one pass.
"Huh? Where did the ball go?"
"It curved!"
"No way!"
The opponent players but also the ones on the sidelines blinked twice in surprise. Did the ball actually disappear? All of them asked the same question, much to Akashi's amusement.
Kagami, surprised than ever before, approached Kuroko. "What was that? Was it you?"
Kuroko glanced at Kagami before at the other players. He actually managed to do it and everyone was surprised and confused. It made him feel happy. He succeeded in mastering his skill. "Yeah. It was me. So now that you know, you can pass to me and I'll get it." He looked at Kagami with a small smile.
Kagami scratched his head. "Seriously? That's amazing! How did you do it!? Ehmm.. tell me about it after the match. We got a game to win partner!" Kagami extended his hand for a fist bump.
"Right." Kuroko said and bumped his fist with Kagami's.
"Come on. Let's win this game!" Kise said once he saw the two were still conversing. Even Kise was amazed by Kuroko's new skill but they couldn't worry over it now. They had a game to win.
After that, the three worked hard as if it was a real game. With Kagami and Kise's firepower and Kuroko's new skill, they won quite easily which shocked most people in the gym.
"N-No way!"
"They won? The newbies won!?"
"Well... Kise is with them..."
"But did you see those passes! Those are something else!"
"It almost looked like a phantom was on the court!"
The group conversed, trying to figure out who was making those incredible passes (they still don't know), which made Akashi smile all the more. He stopped his timer and blew on his whistle to mark the end of the game. 20 - 5 for Kuroko's team. The score had make Akashi all the more proud since it was such a huge margin. Well, Kise and Kagami were to thank for that as well but its not like Kuroko's efforts didn't contribute to it.
Akashi crossed his arms as he watched Kuroko's team cheer after their win.
"We did it Kuroko! We're on the team!" Kagami threw himself at his best friend, hugging him from behind while using his signature move of ruffling his hair.
Kuroko, a being who never usually shown emotion, was smiling happily. He was so glad that they could finally play basketball together, the sport they both loved. He wasn't even angry that Kagami ruffled his hair again.
Meanwhile Kise made his way over to Akashi with an amused smile. "When you said you were going to help him, I didn't think you'd be able to do something like that."
Akashi closed his eyes, smirking. "It was there all along. I didn't do anything besides showing him the potential hidden within him." The captain opened his eyes again, this time to see the whole club running towards Kagami and Kuroko. Everyone was excited to ask Kuroko how he did what he did.
"So cool!"
"You have to teach me that!"
"Did you play professionally before?"
Akashi's smirk widened. After all this time of being rejected, Kuroko finally showed everyone his true ability. He deserves all the praise, after all, he had been training non-stop, even with Akashi's constant pleas to rest, the bluenette would always stay longer to perfect his new style.
Even though Kuroko didn't like attention, he couldn't help but feel happy. People were finally looking at him with amazement and awe and not like a mistake. He stood beside Kagami proudly and answered most of the team's questions with Kagami.
"Well they certainly got popular real fast." Kise said, chuckling softly. "So now we got two new members. Which string will you put them on, Akashicchi?"
Akashi gave Kise the 'glare' once again, sighing. "Isn't it obvious? They'll be joining the first string so I suggest you get along with them. Especially Tetsuya. I know you have troubles accepting people so easily." Akashi looked at the happy Kuroko and Kagami once again.
"You should also watch out for Kagami Taiga. He has the potential to steal your place as the ace of the team."
"Alright, alright. I know that if I don't get along with them, Akashicchi will have my head." Kise reassured. "And- Wait, take my place? I don't think so!"
Kise trailed off once he saw Kuroko heading over, Kagami not too far behind. Kise backed up a little so Kuroko could go to Akashi. "Thank you, Akashi-kun, for teaching me." He whispered happily.
Akashi smiled once again. "It's all due to your efforts Tetsuya. I only showed you the right way." Akashi spotted Kagami walking towards them.
"So we're on the team now?"
"Yes Kagami Taiga. You and Tetsuya are officially on the team now."
"Alright! Oi Kise! Even though you're a showoff model, you play pretty good. Nice game." Kagami didn't want to admit it but Kise did play good.
"You aren't so bad yourself~ although if you plan to take my spot as ace, you better pick another dream cause that isn't happening!" Kise replied with a smirk.
Kuroko looked at the two before looking back at Akashi. "I still have to thank you then. I would have given up sooner or later without you."
Akashi put his hand on Kuroko's shoulder. "I'm not sure about that. The stubborn you would never have given up. Besides, just being with you is enough of a reward for me."
Kuroko wondered why Akashi thought so highly of him but didn't ask. He had the urge to kiss Akashi as thanks but... He couldn't so that. Not only because the team was around but because he didn't even know if Akashi would accept his kiss. "I see... Well, I'm glad you think that way."
Akashi nodded, smiling before turning his attention to Kise and Kagami.
"Heh~ Sorry to burst your bubble blondie but the new ace will be me." Kagami said with confidence, and Kise returned the fire.
Akashi sighed before blowing on his whistle, grabbing everyone's attention. "I hope everyone has warmed up. Let's get to work. Ten laps around the school! For Kise and Kagami it will be twenty laps!"
Akashi watched as everyone frowned, not looking forward to the torture practice. Akashi then turned to Kuroko. "Same applies to you Tetsuya. We may be together but I won't go easy on you during practice. You still have to earn your place in the team. Remember, in order for your passes to be more effective, you have to get familiar with everyone."
"Akashicchi!" Kise whined. He really didn't want to run for 20 laps for no real reason.
"I understand Akashi-kun." Kuroko said softly. "I'll try to get along with everyone." Although he wondered if he would be able to survive practice. He heard it was hard.
"Good luck" Akashi said to Kuroko before turning to face everyone. "Get to work!" and with that everyone ran out of the gym.
"Che! It's your fault stupid blondie! Because of you I'm dragged into it as well." Kagami irritatedly said. He didn't even do anything!
"It wasn't me, I didn't do anything!" Kise replied with just as much irritation.
Kuroko just watched after them as he followed the team to do the laps. He could tell that being on the team was definitely going to be interesting.
Whoever said Akashi's practice was hard was completely honest. Kuroko never felt so tired and sick in his life. Even when he was sick! Just the jogging alone almost made him throw up.
However when it came to actual practice, he felt like he was going to die. It was overwhelming but he still didn't give up. Even when he actually threw up a few times which was completely embarrassing.
Akashi did help him through it all but... He didn't really help Kuroko mentally. Akashi still didn't linger with his touches like he used to and tried to avoid touching Kuroko whenever he could. Well, he supposed he couldn't say the whole practice was awful. He did make some new friends in the team.
However as he headed home with Akashi by his side, it was silent except a few words exchanged. Besides that, they didn't speak to each other. It made Kuorko extremely uncomfortable. Usually they always talked and such but it's been like this ever since the library incident. When he got home, Akashi only said goodbye. He didn't give him his usual goodbye kiss.
Kuroko went inside, feeling sick, tired, and now disappointed once more. He did tell his parents that he made the team though, so they didn't know he was upset. By telling them this, they'd think he was happy. After that he went upstairs. He couldn't go on with Akashi if the redhead kept doing what he was... well, not doing. He had to ask Akashi if he really did hate him or something.
He tried thinking of what to do. What do people always do when they had problems with someone else? They meet up with them. But just when and where and how should he do that? Maybe he could put a letter in his bag tomorrow morning and ask for him to meet him somewhere... Yeah. The sooner the better. With this in mind, Kuroko wrote a small and quick letter for Akashi before heading to bed.
Akashi arrived home with conflicted thoughts. One was that his date had made the team, which made his extremely happy that they will be together more, but, the other thing was the incident. Flashbacks of that day still haunt him, making him more and more guilty.
As usual, Akashi went up to his room before being called out by the maid to go dine with his father. Akashi found it annoying but he couldn't go against his father, not now, not ever. And so Akashi went downstairs, did the everyday ritual of eating with his father in complete silence before retreating back to his room. What was the point of eating together if they never talked to each other?
He didn't want to dwell on it so Akashi slumped on his bed, closing his eyes. When he opened them again, he was looking at the ceiling where the images of a helpless Kuroko appeared.
Akashi clenched his fists as he punched his bed as hard as he could. Since he punched the soft surface of the bed, it didn't make any noise.
"Damn!" Akashi cursed at himself for his incompetence. Looks like there will be no sleep tonight.
The next morning Kuroko set out for school early. He hasn't gone to school early in a long while besides needing to practice basketball. Now that he was on the team, he didn't need to practice that much anymore. However that didn't mean he wouldn't stop practicing outside of school any more.
His plan was to get the letter into Akashi's locker before the redhead got to school. It wouldn't be too hard and Kuroko actually got it done easily. He knew where Akashi's locker was so all he had to do was just slip it inside and walk away. He felt a bit nervous but he supposed it was for the better. Hopefully Akashi would accept it and go to the storage room, which is where Kuroko told Akashi to meet him at.
Akashi on the other hand, woke up really early that day. He didn't get even a minute of sleep so he waited until the clock stroke 6:30 a.m. to start getting ready for school. After all, his father would get suspicious if he went early.
Akashi got up, dressed into his school uniform and went downstairs for breakfast. After everything was done, he set out to walk to school until his butler stopped him.
"Young master, your father has instructed me to take you to school." the butler bowed, opening the doors for Akashi. The redhead sighed, having no choice in the matter; he got into the car that drove off.
Finally he arrived to school, the only place he could be free in. He walked inside to his locker that, much to his surprise, when opened, found something falling out if it. Akashi looked at the small paper in confusion.
The redhead sighed. It could be one of those unnecessary confessions again. If so this would be one in many. But before judging, Akashi opened it only to be even more surprised. It's from Kuroko, saying that he wants to meet him in the storage room of the gym.
It confused him even more but he will definitely need to go. What if something happened to his date? Akashi closed his locker, quickly walking to the storage room to meet Kuroko.
Kuroko anxiously waited in the room where he asked Akashi to meet him in. Was this alright? Was it cowardly? Was this a good thing to do or should he have just asked Akashi face to face? It was too late now so be just nervously waited in the storage room. All he knew was that he didn't want them to continue being awkward around each other.
Akashi walked towards the gym, bumping into some students along the way. What if another group of bullies had attacked Kuroko and asked him to write the letter so that he would come? Could it be some sort of revenge?
With those thoughts in mind, the flashback of the incidents flashed before him again, but only with more intensity. Not being able to take it any longer, Akashi ran as fast as he could, not caring that some students even turned around to ask what's wrong. He didn't have the time to stop, he couldn't. He just continued to run.
Finally the gym doors were in sight. Akashi opened them with a thud, then after another pair of doors awaited him - the storage room. Akashi quickly ran across the gym and opened the doors harshly; the sound of the doors hitting the walls resonated throughout the room. However, once Akashi saw the startled Kuroko sitting on a box of basketballs calmly, he finally calmed down.
His heart stopped racing when he realized that this is not an attack of the bullies. Akashi couldn't catch his breath as he leaned on the wall. "Thank god."
"Akashi-kun?" Kuroko asked in confusion and worry. He jumped up, moving over to Akashi. The other really did startle him by rushing in like that. "What's wrong? Did something happen on your way here?"
Akashi still couldn't catch his breath but replied never the less. "I-It's just..." Should he tell Kuroko? No, that would be a sign of weakness and Akashi couldn't allow himself to be 'weak', his whole being couldn't accept that notion.
"It's nothing. More importantly, why did you call me here?" The redhead, uncomfortable, tried to move onto another topic.
Kuroko wasn't sure if he should let that topic go but he supposed it didn't matter at the moment. "I... wanted to talk to you about something." He murmured, looking away from Akashi for a moment before looking back at Akashi. "About what happened before, in the library."
Akashi flinched, his yes opening wide. He grabbed Kuroko by his shoulders. "Are you hurt Tetsuya? Did someone threaten you again?" Akashi's eyes were full of panic and concern.
"N-no." Kuroko said quickly. Why did Akashi get so concerned all of a sudden? "Nothing happened since then. I haven't been seen those people since it happened. I just... wanted to ask something, about you."
"About me?" Akashi tilted his head sideways in confusion.
"Yeah... About why you don't do most of the things you always did." Kuroko said with a sigh. "Like holding hands, hugging... kissing... You always don't look at me that much anymore. And it worries me a little and it makes me think you're trying to avoid me…"
Kuroko's words took Akashi completely by surprise, however, its not like they're false. Akashi did less of those things because... he doesn't deserve it after what had happened. After all, the attack with the bullies is his fault. How can he act as if it never happened. Would he... Would he be able to kiss Kuroko once again?
"I..." the words just wouldn't come out. No matter how hard he tried.
After seeing how hard it was for Akashi to reply, Kuroko sighed as he slowly backed up. "Is it because I let it happen? I did try fighting, I swear I did Akashi-kun! Is that why you won't do anything anymore? Do you... hate me because of it?"
He couldn't have been right all along, right? Did Akashi really hate him because he couldn't stop another boy from touching and kissing him? "I swear, I only like Akashi-kun so... Please don't hate me anymore."
"There's no way I would hate you Tetsuya." Akashi said, almost interrupting his date. He approached Kuroko and embraced him. How can he tell his lover about his troubles? Would it be okay to tell him?
Akashi sighed as he placed his head on top of Kuroko's, inhaling the sweet smell of his shampoo. Akashi opened his mouth but nothing came. The fact that voicing out his weakness was so hard for him to do was frightening.
Finally, Akashi fought off the inner part of himself that told him to never submit to his weak side. At least he could show it to Kuroko.
"Would it be alright for me to tell you? I'm just afraid, because it is a sign of weakness."
Sign of weakness? He didn't know Akashi was so afraid of voicing his troubles because of 'showing weakness'.
"It's alright... You can tell me. I won't tell anyone else." Kuroko reassured, pulling away just enough to look at Akashi's face. "I want to know so I can help."
Akashi looked into Kuroko's beautiful eyes. Really, they captivate him every time from the first moment he had seen them. When he looks at them, its like a whole galaxy is inside them. So beautiful.
So drawn into the eyes, Akashi placed his hand on Kuroko's cheek stroking it, but never breaking eye contact.
"I don't deserve you Tetsuya." He finally said, breaking the first barrier of his wall.
"The incident..." Akashi's eyes looked downwards. "It's my fault. All of it is my fault."
Kuroko watched Akashi, frowning slightly. Akashi's fault? How was it Akashi's fault when it was Akashi himself who saved him?
"Unless you ordered them to do that or something, it wasn't you fault, Akashi-kun... It wasn't your fault at all." He reassured. "And I really mean it. I never saw it as your fault."
Akashi looked upwards again, his eyes full of worry, but also searching... for someone, anyone to tell him that everything will be alright.
"But that was my fan group. They did it because they saw you with me. I should have disbanded them a long time ago but I didn't. Instead I let them cling to their false hope of ever being with me. I'm a horrible person Tetsuya."
"You aren't a horrible person!" Kuroko insisted. "You helped me so much. I mean, I probably wouldn't be in school now if it wasn't for you. Who knows what could have happened to me if I kept getting bullied?"
He sighed softly and gently took Akashi's hands, making sure the redhead looked at him. "You didn't tell them to corner me and you didn't know they'd do that. It wasn't your fault, Akashi-kun. Please listen and believe me.."
Akashi looked at Kuroko in disbelief. It's not my fault? He asked himself over and over again while looking into Kuroko's teal blue eyes. Those... eyes full of trust and honesty.
If it was anyone but Akashi, they would have already been in tears right now, but due to his past, Akashi rarely cried. Even so, tears were not necessary to show how he feels. Something else is.
Akashi leaned in, looking into Kuroko's eyes as if asking for permission. When Kuroko closed his eyes in response, Akashi went in and kissed his date for the first time in two weeks.
Kuroko relaxed in Akashi's arms, telling the redhead that he trusted him. He did nothing for a moment, relishing the feeling, before gently returning the kiss as best as he could.
He didn't know if he was still a good kisser, but he supposed it didn't matter. He was just glad that Akashi told him what was wrong and trusted him.
The kiss had melted Akashi's feelings of uncertainty into passion, ravishing Kuroko as much as he could after such a long time of no kisses. Akashi wasn't sure, but did Kuroko always taste this good or was it something else?
The kiss was passionate and full of love. It wasn't rough but also not fast. On the contrary, it was very slow and long.
After moving his arms around Akashi's neck, Kuroko tilted his head to deepen the kiss. Something he knew Akashi did during their kisses before.
He opened his eyes slightly, looking at Akashi. He smiled a little and closed his eyes once more, feeling content.
The kiss went on for hours and hours. The two most probably missed their first lesson but none of them cared. The kiss represented everything the two felt, everything from the moment the incident happened to today. The feeling of desire and want was clearly visible by the sheer desire they had for each other.
They didn't feel each other's touch for two full weeks. It made Akashi all the more desperate, to touch. Unconsciously, his body moved on its own. His hand wondered off and found its way under Kuroko's shirt.
Kuroko held onto Akashi tighter once he felt the hand. It wasn't uncomfortable and he didn't stop Akashi. He figured that Akashi needed this. That they both needed this. He won't let them get far of course. Definitely not in a storage room.
Deciding to see how Akashi would react, Kuroko teasingly nibbled at Akashi's lips. Akashi did it to him every so often so he wondered how Akashi would react.
Akashi's desire only increased when Kuroko nibbled his lips. The kiss became much more violent in a sense that there was biting and force used to get more from each other. Akashi's hand reacted as well, as the redhead started to play with Kuroko's nipples teasingly.
Kuroko let out a small breath in an attempt to stifle a gasp. He slightly arched into Akashi's hands, refraining from letting out a whimper. Honestly, everything Akashi always did to him felt good.
He knew he should be concerned since they are probably missing class, but he couldn't bring himself to care. His grip on Akashi tightened, wanting the redhead to stay close.
Akashi felt Kuroko closing the distance between them, so he too used his free left hand to push Kuroko forwards, leaving no space between them.
"Akashi-kun.." Kuroko mumbled, pulling away from the kiss slightly to breathe. His breathing was a little heavier since they didn't have a complete break from that kiss until now.
Akashi panted, looking at Kuroko like a predator, still fazed by the kiss. He kept looking at Kuroko's swollen lips, but slowly came to his senses. Akashi smiled as he leaned onto his date, putting his head on Kuroko's shoulder.
"Thank you Tetsuya. I'm sorry I neglected you and hurt your feelings for two weeks. Forgive me." Akashi felt a heavy burden lift off from his chest. Finally he has found a person he can trust... somebody he can face his burdens with.
Kuroko gently held onto Akashi, nodding slightly. "It's alright. I know it wasn't intentional. I'm just glad we talked it over." He softly brushed Akashi's red hair, feeling happy at the moment.
The two stood like that for a while, captivated by each other's embrace and each other's touch. They needed it more then ever after such a long time of deprivation.
After some time, Akashi moved away slightly, cupping Kuroko's cheeks.
"We better go now. I'm sure we've already missed two lessons."
"I guess you're right." Kuroko smiled softly. "People might wonder where we are." He then paused for a moment. "...Just to know for the future if anyone asks, do you want anyone to know about us? About our relationship?"
"Say it. I'm not ashamed of being with you." Akashi patted Kuroko's hair. "However, it might cause some people to hurt you and that's what I'm concerned about." Akashi weighted out the options. "It would be for the best if you told the people you trust first, just to be safe."
"Alright. Thanks." Kuroko said, leaning into the touch. "Now let's go before we miss anymore classes."
