This is a roleplay story done by KurokoTetsuya101 and The Lucky Bell.
Kuroko just barely stopped himself from gasping in surprise. He didn't want to give Haizaki access that easily. He wanted to push Haizaki away but that might anger the other...
It felt so disgusting kissing someone other than Akashi. But it was absolutely killing him, knowing that Akashi was watching him kiss someone else.
When enough was enough, Kuroko placed his hands on Haizaki's shoulders and pushed a little. He needed a breath and he couldn't stand the thought of Akashi staring at them anymore.
Haizaki let go as saliva connected their lips. In front of them stood Akashi, speechless. He is in such a shock that he can't even move. Kuroko and that person had done something only he and Kuroko do. Their shared heated love, the kiss, has been stolen from them. It just couldn't be happening.
"And there you have it~ You're dumped so accept it~" Haizaki hissed as he turned to walk away, with Kuroko beside him. "Haha! Loser!" Haizaki called out as Akashi stood in the hallway at the exact same spot, watching Kuroko and Haizaki's retreating figures disappear from his sight.
As soon as they were far enough and turned a corner, Kuroko stopped. He couldn't believe Haizaki did that. It was one to break up with Akashi, but to do it like that...!
"Why did you do that? I was going to do what you said at lunch! Why did you have to do that?" He couldn't imagine how much pain Akashi must be in. If he were in Akashi's position, he would have been so devastated and confused.
Haizaki stopped with Kuroko and looked at him, amusement evident on his large smirk. He pushed Kuroko onto the wall and leaned towards him, "Shut up. I'm in charge now so you'll listen to what I say." He leaned in to kiss Kuroko again, with as much passion as the last time.
Kuroko didn't want to kiss Haizaki again. He didn't want to feel disgusted or feeling like he betrayed Akashi again. He just couldn't do it. However he couldn't voice these desires. They would just go unheard to Haizaki. The other would just probably laugh then kiss him more to add to his agony. The best he could do was turn his head away from Haizaki, not wanting to be kissed again.
Once the kiss was broken, Haizaki moved away. He didn't want to attend classes... so what to do? Maybe he could sleep on the rooftop? He grabbed Kuroko's hand and started going to the said place, not caring that Kuroko will miss classes.
"H-Hey, wait! Class is that way!" Kuroko said, slightly pulling on his hand. "We have to go back to class!"
"Boring~ We're going to the rooftop. You'll be my pillow to sleep on." Haizaki didn't care at all about school or studying as well as Kuroko's needs. He just does what he wants.
"B-But... It's class!" Kuroko tried to change the others mind but Haizaki never budged. He sighed as he followed Haizaki to the rooftop. Only for today. He wasn't skipping any more classes after that!
They walked up the stairs to the rooftop and found that the doors were unlocked, much to Kuroko's misery. They stepped onto the roof as Haizaki put his hands on his hips and inhaled the fresh air. He then turned towards the bluenette, "Sit down."
Kuroko sighed. "Only for today, okay? After today I'm not skipping anymore class."
"You'll do what I tell you got it? Even if you have to skip classes. Now shut up and sit down."
"I'm not skipping any more classes. I care about my education." Kuroko said as he sat down, looking up at Haizaki.
Haizaki yawned as he sat down next to Kuroko and then put his head on Kuroko's lap. "Just shut up." He said before he drifted into the world of dreams.
Kuroko frowned but didn't say anything. If being with Haizaki meant keeping Akashi safe then he'd do it. However if it affected his education... He sighed and stayed still. He'd rather keep Akashi safe.
He didn't know how long it's been since they've been up there. His legs have been numb for a while and he was starting to feel restless staying in one spot all day. He was about to just lay down and maybe nap like Haizaki was, but a buzzing in his pocket interrupted his thoughts.
He pulled out his phone, curious of who was texting him.
From: Kise
Subject: AKASHICCHI
KUROKOCCHI! Akashicchi looks REALLY upset and I can't do anything to make him feel better! Where did you go? Akashicchi needs his Kurokocchi!
Kuroko didn't bother replying. Akashi was devastated and it was all because of him. He wished he could tell Akashi but that might put him in danger. If Akashi knew, he'd try to stop Haizaki and end up getting hurt. He couldn't let that happen. He'd do anything to keep Akashi safe.
That day Akashi was not himself at all. He couldn't concentrate on the lesson so he stood up and searched the school for Kuroko. But he was nowhere to be seen. He even took Kise along with him to help with the search but no luck. Its like they evaporated from the face of the earth.
However, finally lunch came. Knowing that man's lazy attitude, he will probably be here during lunch, and if he's there then Kuroko will be as well. And as luck would have it he is.
Akashi watched as Haizaki and Kuroko appeared from the hallway. When Haizaki went to take, slash, order his food, Akashi grabbed Kuroko and pulled him into the janitor's room. He put his hand on Kuroko's mouth so that a surprised gasp doesn't alert Haizaki that something is wrong.
Once he and Kuroko were inside the room, Akashi closed it and turned to face the bluenette.
"Tetsuya, what's going on?" he calmly asked.
"...Nothing's going on." Kuroko desperately wanted to run into Akashi's arms and spill out everything that happened, but he couldn't. That would endanger Akashi and he would not let Akashi get hurt. "I-I need to go... before he sees me missing…"
Akashi grabbed Kuroko's hand, but had the gentleness it always had. "Did he threaten you? Did he promise something in exchange? I know you wouldn't do something like that. Not of your own free will. I know you Tetsuya, so please. Tell me what he did to threaten or bribe you."
Kuroko felt a little relieved that Akashi didn't think he really wanted to he with Haizaki. It made him feel more guilty about doing this. "I-I can't. I can't tell you. You'll get hurt if I do.."
"Hurt?" Akashi thought for a while and finally came to a conclusion. What if Kuroko was doing this for him? "Did he threaten to hurt me if you don't go out with him?
"I-It's not just him who would hurt you." Kuroko said before shaking his head. "Please don't get involved. I really need to go before he notices we're gone. He'll know that we are alone together and he won't like that..."
Akashi didn't let Kuroko go, tightening his hold a bit, "We'll figure something out. If it's me you're worrying about then its fine. I can take care of myself so you don't have to do this. Besides... seeing you and him... doing the thing we do... hurts more than anything…"
"It's not fine! If it was just him, maybe, but it's not just him! It's... something way bigger..." Kuroko didn't want to say it. He was scared at just the mention of their name. No matter how smart, rich or strong Akashi was, he'd get hurt by Haizaki's gang. "It hurts me too and I know it's just killing you, but something worse would happen if I don't do this."
He suddenly clung onto Akashi, burying his face into Akashi's chest. "Please... I'm glad you know that I still love you. I know it's hurting both of us, but I can't stop him unless I go out with him.. It feels so disgusting and it's only the first day but.." Kuroko had to stop to breathe. His hold on Akashi was tight and he was shaking hard. With the fear of Akashi getting hurt and the memories of his past with Haizaki combined, he felt like he was suffocating.
Akashi put his arms around Kuroko reassuringly, embracing him. Protecting him from the harm outside. What could possibly scare his lover so much? He'll have to investigate more into this matter and find out who exactly this Haizaki Shuugo is.
"Still, I can't tolerate this Tetsuya." Akashi's eyes almost shone in the darkness, just like ruby emeralds. However, full of anger and rage.
"I don't know what else to do... You'll get hurt. Even if you or maybe even your father did something, you'd still get hurt." Kuroko said with a shaky voice.
Akashi placed his thumb under Kuroko's chin to make him look upwards at him. He smiled at his lover, knowing he must be going through so much worse than himself. But after the incident with his father, Akashi can't allow Kuroko to be hurt again... never again.
He leaned down and kissed his lover passionately. Cleaning the traces that Haizaki left on Kuroko. The kiss conveyed so much, love, reassurance and their bond.
Kuroko felt a little better when Akashi kissed him. He was glad Akashi wasn't afraid to kiss him or hold him close like this. He held onto Akashi tightly and returned the kiss immediately, needing Akashi's reassurance.
The two kissed like no tomorrow, scared of what the next minute and hour may throw at them. Suddenly, they heard an all too familiar voice outside call "Yo! Tetsuya~ Where are you!?" Haizaki called out, not caring that everyone looked at him because of how loud he is.
Kuroko jumped a little in shock before slowly pulling away from the kiss. "...I need to go." He murmured, looking at Akashi sadly. "I love you Seijuuro-kun, okay? Please don't get involved, I don't want you hurt…"
Kuroko took his leave but before he could open the doors, Akashi grabbed him once again. "I'll find the solution. Until then wait for me." He said with a serious look. How would one feel when his lover leaves off to be with another man? Anything but happy.
However, hearing Kuroko's pleas, Akashi will have to do his own digging before taking action. He'll have to do it as soon as possible. Time is precious and he doesn't want Kuroko next to that man any second longer.
Kuroko just simply nodded. He just hoped Akashi didn't get hurt in the process. He quickly left, not wanting to irritate Haizaki by suddenly disappearing. Luckily he found the other roaming a different hall so he wasn't caught coming out of the janitor's closet where he and Akashi spoke. He made up the excuse of getting notes from the classes he missed, something Haizaki dismissed boredly. Kuroko just sighed and thought about Akashi. He was so glad Akashi understood. He just hoped the other didn't hurt himself.
After school Haizaki commanded Kuroko to go with him. Where, Kuroko wasn't sure but he had little choice since Haizaki wasn't gonna have no as an answer. They left the school grounds and walked towards the city.
They walked and walked until they reached the entry of a dark alleyway, hidden from the general public. "Let's go." Haizaki said as he pulled Kuroko with him into the darkness of the dirty street.
"I-I'm not sure about this." Kuroko said as he was pulled along. "Where are we going exactly...?" Being in a dark and narrow alleyway with such a dangerous person was truly terrifying.
"I'll introduce you to my mates~ The gang~" Haizaki pulled as they entered the dark alleyway. The further in they walked, the darker it got.
"N-No, that's okay. I don't have to meet them." Kuroko insisted quickly. Why would anyone want to meet the most dangerous gang in your hometown? "Let's just go?"
Haizaki stopped to look at his 'lover' and turned around. "What I say goes and if I say I want you to meet them then you will. Who knows... maybe we can do more interesting things?" He resumed walking, holding Kuroko's hand tighter.
Kuroko felt a little more frightened when he heard Haizaki say that. What does he mean by "interesting things"? He decided to just stay quiet however he did try to walk as slow as possible, even if Haizaki was dragging him along.
"Come on!" Haizaki pulled a bit more when he felt Kuroko dragging slowly behind him. The two walked when they finally reached a dead end. However, at the end of the road, there was a square like room (but outside), which contained broken, used couches, a table and an old TV used for playing video games.
In the room there were five people. Gang members. All of them wore torn up clothes and most of them were smoking cigars while playing video games, sitting on the large broken couch. All of them were alerted when they heard someone approaching and suddenly took out their guns to point it at the intruders.
"It's just me faggots!" Haizaki said as the gang put their guns back into their pouches, or lazily threw them on the table.
"Yo boss! What's up?" one asked, but concentrated on his game.
Another member tilted his head to look at his boss and... an unfamiliar figure beside him.
"Who's that boss? A newbie?"
Haizaki walked towards another couch with Kuroko beside him. He sat down and pulled Kuroko to sit on his lap.
"Something like that. He's my new bitch~" Haizaki said as he grabbed Kuroko's chin and licked his cheek.
Kuroko shuddered a little in disgust but he hid the emotion from his face. He didn't like being called that but it was even worse being seen as a newbie. He didn't want to be apart of the gang, even if he was just Haizaki's plaything.
"...I've seen your gang so... can we get out of here now?" He asked quietly, glancing back at Haizaki.
"Aww~ He's cute boss~" The gang members laughed after hearing Kuroko's silent plea. They started to make fun of him.
"What? Scared already?"
"I don't think we're that scary~ What do you guys think?"
"Nah~ We're actually little boys just playing with toys~" a member held his gun up in the air, as if its a toy. Nothing more.
"See~" he pointed the gun towards Kuroko before placing it back onto the table lazily.
The game finished, or at least the round they were playing and turned around to look at Kuroko sitting on Haizaki's lap. They all whistled.
"Are you sure you're not a babe?"
"Haha seriously! Boss is it a she or a he? I got bets on a she!"
"Me too!"
Haizaki laughed before suddenly grabbing Kuroko's school uniform and tearing it open to reveal his flat chest.
"It's a he idiots! See!" He said as he put his hands on Kuroko's chest, exploring the naked skin.
"D-Don't do that!" Kuroko said quickly, pushing Haizaki's hands away. It was bad enough he was surrounded by dangerous people who thought guns were just toys, but now that Haizaki not only ripped his school uniform, he was exposing him! To random dangerous people!
Haizaki didn't stop, seeing the struggle as a provocation rather than a plea to stop. He smirked as he touched further, putting his hands deeper into Kuroko's torn uniform. The laughter and giggle of the gang members only drove Haizaki further to continue.
However, suddenly a hand was placed on one of Haizaki's hands. The grey head looked up to see another member of his gang.
"That's enough Haizaki. You're scaring him." The raven haired teen said, making Haizaki frown. He pulled out his hands from Kuroko's bare chest.
"Che! You're no fun Nijimura! Can't you see we were having fun?" Haizaki started but the other members on the couch soon got distracted when 'Start!' appeared on their TV screen, telling them a new round is about to being. They grabbed their controllers and started playing.
Meanwhile, Haizaki faced Nijimura who looked over at Kuroko. "The name's Nijimura. Nice to meet you." He said as he extended his hand for a handshake.
Kuroko just simply looked up at Nijimura for a few moments. Why did someone who seemed nice be apart of this gang? He slowly reached out to shake Nijimura's hand and after he was done, he quickly moved his arm back so he could cover his chest. Being exposed in such a place was really uncomfortable.
"Geez... Why are you always so damn polite!" Haizaki hissed but Nijimura didn't flinch. He looked at Haizaki calmly.
"You're just too rude for your own good." Nijimura spared another glance at Kuroko. And just by the look of things he could tell that Kuroko was not here willingly. But what puzzled Nijimura was the fact that Kuroko is a male. Usually Haizaki would bring a new woman every day just to play with her and then change to a new one. Why did he bring Kuroko here?
Nijimura sat beside Haizaki and Kuroko, taking his gun out from his sheathe, cleaning it.
"Were you out?" asked Haizaki.
"Yeah. I had something to take care of." Nijimura was focused on cleaning his gun.
Kuroko was still curious on why Nijimura was in this gang when he seemed so nice. Was the other just taking it? Or was there a reason behind it?
He hesitantly looked back at Haizaki before glancing away. "Do you... have a shirt I can wear…?"
"No. You'll have to do like this~' Haizaki teasingly said, but Nijimura beside them sighed before standing up. Both Haizaki and Kuroko looked up at him in confusion before the raven head re-appeared with a shirt in hand. He walked up to Kuroko and handed him the shirt.
"It's a bit torn but it's better than what you have on right now."
Kuroko looked up at Nijimura with slight relief. "Thank you." It was better than nothing. He swiftly put on the shirt after removing his torn uniform. He'd have to get a new one now.
"Che!" Haizaki watched annoyedly as Nijimura calmly sat back down. Was he defying Haizaki? He won't have that on his watch! Suddenly he pulled on Kuroko's shirt, ripping it in half out of sheer anger.
"Don't do this shit Nijimura! I make the rules here!" Haizaki hissed.
"Can you please stop ripping the shirts I wear? It hurts you know." Kuroko said with a small frown. As scared as he was, he was starting to get irritated too.
Haizaki grabbed Kuroko's chin tightly and turned it so that Kuroko faced him, "Shut up! I make the rules here!" He said as he slapped the bluenette.
Kuroko felt the sting from the slap but it honestly didn't hurt too much. After what happened with Akashi's father a month or so before, a slap was definitely not going to hurt him. "Good thing that was a weak hit. I mean, you definitely wouldn't want to ruin this face right? Since that's the only thing you care about with me." He quietly hissed out.
Haizaki's eyes widened. He never thought Kuroko would fight back... that nerd in the past... actually had some guts? The boss was fuming with anger but before Kuroko could say any more, Nijimura quickly stood up and covered Kuroko's mouth with his hand. He grabbed Kuroko and got him off Haizaki's lap.
"Don't say any more. It'll only get worse. Realize the situation you're in" Nijimura whispered so that none of the gang members heard.
Haizaki stood up from the couch, not liking what's happening. He folded the sleeves of his shirt, as if he was gonna fight someone.
"Clam down Haizaki. This kid doesn't know his place. Let me teach him how we do things here." Nijimura said as he still held his hand on Kuroko's mouth, restraining him. It's surprising how clam this man can be, a noteworthy trait in this type of business.
"No way in hell! I need to have a word with him first!" Haizaki hissed but Nijimura countered.
"No I'll do it. You wouldn't wanna ruin your relationship with him would you?"
Haizaki stood in place; his eyes glanced at Kuroko, full of rage. The boss didn't say anything as he annoyedly sat back down onto the couch. Nijimura nodded as he and the restrained Kuroko walked towards the hallway. Away from the hideout.
Once the two were a distance away, Nijimura let go of the bluenette.
Kuroko moved away from Nijimura a little, covering his face with his hands. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get angry but..." Haizaki just made him so angry. He's never been this frustrated before at anything, not even Akashi's father. When it was Akashi's father, he was only like that because he wanted to make sure Akashi and his company only had the best. He eventually accepted him. But Haizaki... He was only toying with him. Liking him only for his looks and he'd still hit him and expose him to others.
"Don't do that again, it'll only create more problems." He calmly said as he looked at the bluenette. This is his chance to get some answers, "How do you know Haizaki? Surely he must have forced you into this for a reason?"
"We knew each other when we were really young. He said he apparently loved me back then but he didn't want anyone else to love me." He decided not to mention the whole 'nerd and bullying' thing. "Now he's found me again and he forced me to break up with my lover just to be his plaything…"
Nijimura sighed "That's just like him... Anyway, I have something for you." Nijimura ruffled through his pocked and got out a small, almost thorn paper out of his pocket. He handed it to Kuroko who read the note:
"Hold on Tetsuya. Help will arrive soon.
From Akashi"
"How did you get this?" Kuroko asked in shock. He was so happy yet concerned that Akashi was coming to help, but how did Nijimura get this?
"The less you know the better. You look like the type who can't keep secrets." Nijimura leaned on a wall beside him.
"I'll just tell you this... Akashi will help you so you just have to wait. When everything is solved, you'll get your answers."
Kuroko pouted a little. He could keep a secret! "Okay... Thank you for showing me this. And for helping me back there." He sighed softly. "I shouldn't have said that... Now he's angry with me."
"Just bear with it. I know it must be frustrating having to deal with Haizaki but if you fight back it'll just get worse. He could beat you up or even worse. Trust me, just go along with him and at the end you'll get your revenge." Nijimura said but Kuroko cough a slight expression of sadness in his eyes.
"You don't have to thank me. After all, I'm also a thug." He said before turning around to walk back. "Let's head back. He'll wonder where we are for so long. Act as if I've hurt you or something."
Kuroko watched after Nijimura for a moment. Even if Nijimura was a thug, if Akashi knew him, he must he nice. Right? He quickly followed Nijimura even though he didn't want to go back. As soon as they were back, Kuroko immediately ran to Haizaki and clung to the other before he could even realize. When Nijimura walked into the room next, Kuroko acted like he was frightened and hid his face into Haizaki's chest. He hated being so close to Haizaki but he had to listen to Nijimura.
"What are you doing?" Haizaki wondered but wen he saw Nijimura enter, he guessed it must be due to the punishment.
"Awww! The baby got scared!"
"Haha scary cat!"
The other members who were still engrossed into their game said but didn't take their eyes off the game. Haizaki on the other hand frowned, pulling Kuroko so that he sat next to him.
Nijimura said nothing as he sat beside Kuroko (not close of course) and started cleaning his gun.
Kuroko didn't know what to do now. It felt awkward since he had to act close to Haizaki and scared of Nijimura. "H-Haizaki-kun.." Kuroko started softly. "Am I.. not allowed to wear a new shirt? I'd like to cover up completely since I don't want anyone else seeing... except you of course." He barely managed to hide his disgust when he said that. It felt disgusting but if it got him a shirt to cover up, it would probably be worth it.
Haizaki raised his eyebrow, surprised by Kuroko's sudden behavior. Just what did Nijimura do? Haizaki always found the man mysterious. He didn't know why but whenever he tried to read through Nijimura he just couldn't figure out his motives. He's still an unexpected element in Haizaki's territory. However, seeing how he made his 'lover' obedient, Haizaki guessed he could trust him.
"Of course not. I want to see your bare body. if you hide it under the shirt then I won't be able to~"
Kuroko frowned a little but didn't say anything more. He just hoped Akashi could find a way to help him without getting himself hurt. He rubbed his eyes a little, holding back a yawn. For some reason, dealing with everything just made him so tired. Well, Haizaki was a tiring person.
