Akashi looked at his lover with conflicted eyes. Kuroko must be very confused on what had happened so Akashi must fill him in. "After you had told me that you would be breaking up with me... and after everything that had happened... I knew something wasn't right. You wouldn't do that... not without a good reason."
Akashi put his hand on Kuroko's hair, drawing circles on his finger with Kuroko's bangs. "That's why I decided to look into the matter and once I did, I found out that Haizaki was the leader of 'Grey Ash', a very dangerous gang in Tokyo. Everything clicked at that time, leaving me to decide on what to do."
Akashi's finger sped up its pace, "I didn't find an answer but I also couldn't let my anger and frustrations get the better of me. If I did something without thinking first, then it would endanger you. I couldn't forgive myself if that happened, so I waited and waited until an opportunity rose and it finally did."
Now Akashi's hand had stopped all of its movement, "I was approached by a gang member when I followed you and Haizaki. He introduced himself as 'Nijimura Shuzo' and he told me that he would work with me to bring the gang down. I couldn't believe him at first but after some time, I knew I could trust him. That's when we developed a plan to catch the gang in the act. We alerted the police and Nijimura had confessed to everything. That night... the one where the police and I came... it was our raid. We finally caught the gang."
Kuroko listened to every word Akashi said. He knew Akashi never gave up in helping him but it was still heart warming to hear. "I'm so glad Seijuuro wasn't hurt.." He said softly before realizing what Akashi said.
"Wait, what happened to Nijimura-san then?" He remembered the time when Nijimura helped him out when Haizaki almost hurt him. "If he confessed... Did he get in trouble?"
"Yes, like the other gang members, Nijimura was arrested." Akashi confessed.
"But he helped the police get the gang! He shouldn't have gotten arrested." If it weren't for Nijimura, Akashi probably would have taken longer to help him.
Akashi is conflicted as much as Kuroko is. Nijimura did help them both and helped arrest the gang but... "I feel the same way Tetsuya but... when I spoke to the police in his defense he told me not to get involved. He seemed set to repent for his sins."
"But..!" Kuroko remembered Nijimura saying not to worry about him, that he too was just a thug, but Kuroko did worry about him. "Can we... at least see him?"
Akashi nodded, "We would need to request an audition with him, since he's in prison. I believe they're still sorting out the arrival of the gang members into the facility."
"I want to see him as soon as we're allowed." Kuroko said. "As long as Seijuuro allows it…"
Akashi sadly smiled as he brushed Kuroko's bangs off his forehead, "It only takes a call and we'll be on our way. The detectives want to question you as well since they didn't get a chance to do it at the scene of the crime."
Akashi sat up on the bed, getting his phone, "I'll make the call while you shower. We can't go there reeking of sex~"
Kuroko blushed a little but just pouted. "You reek of sex too, so don't make me the odd one out."
"Ohh~ I was thinking of showering after Tetsuya but now I'm considering showering together~" Akashi teased as he dialled the number of the prison.
"I don't mind. Just no funny business. My body can't take it." Kuroko said with a sigh. He looked around, trying to see if there was a bathroom in the room. Then he realized something was off. "...Seijuuro, where are we exactly?" Just where exactly did they just make love for who knows how many hours?
Seeing Kuroko's confused face made Akashi smirk. Of course! He had completely forgotten that this is the first time that Kuroko has visited his house. "Actually this is my-" But before Akashi could finish his sentence, someone knocked on the door.
"Enter" Akashi said before a maid carrying a tray of food entered. "G-Good morning Seijuro-sama, Seito-sama told me to bring you breakfast due to your late night activiti-" the maid stopped mid sentence, dropping her tray accidentally. She was caught off by the sight she saw.
What took her by surprise was the state of the room. Dirty, cum everywhere. Not to mention that the room reeked of sex. The maid immediately blushed, putting both of her hands on her lips. "M-My apologies Seijuro-sama! I'll get the mop right away!"
The maid turned to leave the room but stopped again to bow at Kuroko, "I apologize for my rudeness Kuroko-sama! I'll bring some spare clothes for you as well!" and with that the maid left the room, leaving Akashi amused and Kuroko blushing his eyes out.
"This is your house?!" Kuroko asked with surprise and embarrassment. That poor maid! She had to see the mess they made all last night! He should apologize to her... but he was too embarrassed to face anyone. He moved under the blankets, hiding himself. "I'm not coming out again..."
Akashi burst out in warm laughter. His date doesn't know that almost everyone in the mansion has heard them, "Actually, it's much worse love~ My father heard us~ He even knocked on the doors while we were at it. But the door was locked so he couldn't open it."
Akashi's already wide smirk widened when he noticed Kuroko shocked, "Not to mention how things go here. Once one maid hears it, the rumors spread fast."
"That's not helping!" Kuroko cried out, his face completely red. It wasn't his fault the pill made him so needy. "Don't say anything else or you get nothing for a month!"
"I'm just informing you love. Don't blame me if others give you weird looks you don't know what for~" Akashi stood up, naked, walking towards doors that are on the left side of the room from where the bed is. Akashi opened the doors to reveal the bathroom.
"Its better for us to shower while the maids are cleaning this mess up. You don't want them to see you right?"
"Okay.." Kuroko pouted. Why did Akashi have to take him here where who knows how many people are? He slowly sat up and groaned in pain. "Sore.."
Worriedly, the redhead walked up to his date, "I'll help you". Akashi was about to take Kuroko's hand to help him walk but soon changed his mind and picked Kuroko up in bridal style. "Let's shower love~" Akashi carried Kuroko to the bathroom.
"You don't need to carry me.." Kuroko sighed but didn't argue any longer.
"We did it the entire night Tetsuya. I'm surprised you're even conscious." Akashi pushed the doors open and entered the bathroom. He placed Kuroko in the bathtub, switching on the water. While Akashi did that, someone knocked on the door again.
"S-Seijuro-sama, we're here to clean the room." One of the maids said as another five maids came into Akashi's room to clean. All of them blushed at the sight of the room, but its not like they have a choice. They'll have to clean it.
As the maids started cleaning, another knock sounded on the doors but this time no voice accompanied it. Akashi listened in from the bathroom as the person came closer to the closed bathroom doors.
"Good morning Seijuro, Kuroko-kun." The voice of Seito Akashi was heard behind the doors.
Kuroko just hoped that Akashi didn't let him in. He would like to live without anyone else but Akashi seeing him naked. He didn't say anything, too embarrassed to even speak.
Much to Kuroko's luck, the bathroom doors are closed and Akashi was no fool to open them when they're both naked. "Good morning father." Akashi replied, focusing on the temperature of the water in the bathtub.
"It will do you good to have some manners the next time you decide to do your... night activities. I couldn't sleep at all and I have a very important meeting in the evening to attend." Seito irritatedly said, leaning on the doors.
"I'm sorry sir.. It was my fault." Kuroko said. He didn't want Akashi to get in trouble. After all, he was the one who was influenced by the pill.
Seito sighed behind the doors. "I never knew you had it in you Kuroko-kun."
Inside Akashi let a small giggle escape him, "Actually, Tetsuya is a caged beast~"
"I am not!" He was running on the pill yet Akashi was able to keep up with him all night. If anyone was a beast, it was Akashi.
Seito sighed again, deciding to change the topic. "Breakfast will be served shortly. I'll be waiting for you both at the table." And with that, Seito walked away with the maids bowing as he left.
Kuroko pouted and didn't look at Akashi. "I'm not a beast.. Seijuuro is the beast…"
"Well you did manage to go the whole night. Plus you kept telling me to do more~"
"Because of the pill!.." Kuroko whined. "Seijuuro managed to last so long without anything. He's the beast."
Finally the bathtub was full as Akashi switched off the water and got in with Kuroko. "How could I resist a pleading Tetsuya? Besides, who would pleasure you if I decided to stop?~" Now both lovers were soaking in the bathtub.
Kuroko didn't answer. He just simply pouted. He almost said "me" when Akashi asked the second question but held back since that was embarrassing to say. "Let's just get washed for breakfast..." He was so tired though... would he last for breakfast?
"Good idea. I still need to make the call." Akashi said as he grabbed the soap and handed it over to Kuroko. While Kuroko washed his body, Akashi took the shampoo to wash his hair. Then after they're done, they would switch.
The two finished washing, still exhausted from their night activities. Luckily the maids had finished cleaning the room and left some clean clothes on the now clean bed. Kuroko and Akashi emerged from the bathroom with towels covering their bodies. Akashi was the first one to take off his towel and dress up.
Kuroko tiredly sat on the bed and groaned. The bath did help with his sore hips but he was still tired. "I'm going to die..." This was almost as bad as training.
"Want me to help you?" Akashi put on his shirt over his head, finishing dressing.
"Yes please..." Kuroko said, looking up at Akashi.
With a sigh, Akashi proceeded to help his date dress. After getting ready the two headed downstairs for breakfast but as soon as they left Akashi's room, they were greeted by a maid. "Good morning Seijuro-sama, Kuroko-sama." The maid bowed but Kuroko didn't miss the small blush on her face.
While on their way, Kuroko noticed more and more maids and butlers blushing when they saw them.
Kuroko held onto Akashi's arm the more he saw the blushes and stares. Everyone had to know by now! How is Akashi not embarrassed?! "Seijuuro.. How are you managing to hold a straight face?"
"Hmmm~" Akashi hummed in thought, putting his right hand on his chin. "Well I know everyone from childhood so I don't particularly mind. They must all be thinking something along the lines of 'He's really grown up!' or something like that."
"But.. what about me?" He was sure everyone must've heard him! This is their first time seeing him and that's his first impression on them!
"I'm sure they don't think anything ill of you Tetsuya." Although Akashi had a smirk on his face, "But if I were them I would blush as well. Seeing as we did it the entire night~ They don't know you were under the effect of that pill so its normal for them to think that way. Looks like you created an image of a 'sexual predator'~"
"B-But I'm not!" Kuroko insisted with a frown and deep blush. He wasn't a sexual predator. This is literally only his second time having intercourse!
"Sure, sure~" Akashi teased before they both resumed walking to the dinning room. They walked down the stairs and finally into the room. When they arrived, they spotted Seito sitting at his usual place reading newspapers and drinking coffee.
"Have a seat." Seito said without even looking to see if they're there. Akashi nodded before proceeding to sit down, but not before pulling out a chair for Kuroko.
"Thank you." Kuroko said before he sat down with a small groan. Just sitting down was a little painful. However he didn't complain and looked around. He felt so uncomfortable in such a fancy place... And it was only a dinning room!
Seito folded his newspaper before looking up at Kuroko. "How are you feeling Kuroko-kun? I hope my son wasn't too hard on you."
A maid approached the elder Akashi to place a plate of boiled eggs before him, along with a cup of orange juice.
"I'm alright. Don't worry please." Kuroko said softly. "Besides, I did ask for it and Seijuuro only did as I asked…"
"Asked for it?" Seito confusingly asked but before Kuroko could answer, Akashi tugged his trousers under the table. Once Kuroko turned around to look at Akashi, the redhead gave him a silent 'No, don't tell him'. Akashi knew that if his father would find out about the pill and the whole ordeal, he would get mad. Akashi didn't want for things to get worse, after all, they just made up with his father.
"Yeah... I was just excited was all." Kuroko smiled a little, getting Akashi's hint.
Seito looked at Kuroko, confused as he had ever been. Eventually the elder Akashi sighed, "Those puberty hormones~" and took a sip of his coffee. The maids standing on the sides giggled, but not loud enough for Seito to hear.
"So how do you like the house Kuroko-kun? I'm sure it must be of a surprise to you?"
Kuroko pouted a little. If only they understood that he could control his hormones and that it wasn't his fault. "Yeah, it's really... big."
"Of course it would be. It's an estate that-" but before he could finish his sentence, Seito was interrupted by a phone ringing. Akashi reached for his pocket to see that it's his phone.
"Excuse me." Akashi excused himself to take the call, leaving Seito and Kuroko alone in the room. Well, if you don't count the maids... Seito eyed Akashi suspiciously as he left the room, sighing before taking another sip of his coffee.
Kuroko was curious about who called Akashi but he knew he couldn't ask. He sighed a little before looking back at Seito. What did he do now? What was there to talk about? "Um.. Thank you for having me?" Now he felt stupid. Why did he say it like that? And it's not like Akashi's father invited him over! Akashi suddenly took him here. Well, Seito did have to suddenly deal with his presence.
Seito spared a look at Kuroko before looking back onto his newspapers. The atmosphere of the room was really awkward.
Suddenly a maid approached the teal head, "K-Kuroko-sama... what would you like to eat for breakfast? Would you like some boiled eggs?" The maid nervously asked, fidgeting with her skirt.
Kuroko looked at the maid and slowly nodded. "I wouldn't mind.." Being that he couldn't really cook, Kuroko usually ate boiled eggs often since that's all he could cook.
"A-Ah... we also have caviar... o-or... anything else you'd like." The maid fidgeted with her dress more, trying to leave a good impression on her master's partner.
On the other side of the table, Seito looked up from his newspapers at Kuroko and the maid.
"No thank you. The eggs are just fine." Kuroko noticed the maid seem kind of fidgety so he smiled a little. "I'm okay with just the eggs so don't worry, okay?"
The maid blushed, "Y-Yes! I apologize for my incompetence! I'll get the eggs right away Kuroko-sama!" the maid made the first step to move but tripped soon after. She quickly got up, bowing down before leaving for the kitchen.
Kuroko watched after the maid with slight worry. He hoped they were okay. He looked back at Seito but didn't say anything. He knew Seito approved of their relationship but that didn't mean he liked Kuroko... How could he change that?
Soon after the maid left, the atmosphere became awkward once again. However, after some time, Seito spoke up out of nowhere. "My son treasures you dearly Kuroko-kun. Never forget that." Seito said as he looked up at the bluenette.
How could he ever forget that? Especially after what just happened. Akashi had to treasure him dearly if he helped him with his Haizaki situation. It was dangerous and Akashi could have gotten hurt; yet he still didn't give up.
"I know. I won't ever forget." Kuroko promised.
Seito smiled in response, his eyes more sincere than they have ever been. "I'll entrust Seijuro to you then."
Kuroko looked at him with surprise. Did he really say that? He then smiled and nodded. "Thank you."
Seito nodded in agreement but just as he did, Akashi returned to the room to see his father suspiciously... smiling? "What happened?" He asked in worry. "Nothing son, I and Kuroko-kun were just thinking how nice the weather is today. Right Kuroko-kun?"
"Yeah. That's right." Kuroko said, looking over at Akashi. He was still curious of who called Akashi.
Akashi suspiciously eyed the two before returning to his seat. When Seito was distracted by a maid, telling her to bring him some more coffee, Akashi took the chance to whisper into Kuroko's ear. "The detectives called. They said they would like to interview you at the prison. Plus they allowed us to visit Nijimura today. We have an appointment in an hour."
Kuroko was a bit excited to see Nijimura. He needed to thank the other because honestly without him, Akashi would have taken longer to save him and who knows what could have happened if Akashi didn't save him yesterday. "When will we leave then?"
"We should leave now. Did you eat yet?"
"No, I didn't. Seijuuro didn't eat either." Kuroko frowned. "You need to eat too."
Akashi looked at his watch. They're pressed on time but perhaps they could still make it? Akashi nods. "Alright. After we eat, we'll have to go though."
"I understand." Kuroko nodded, happy that Akashi complied.
Finally the now somewhat calm maid came back and handed Kuroko a plate of boiled eggs along with a toast. Meanwhile another maid gave Akashi his plate. "Your favorite Akashi-sama, tofu soup."
"Thank you." Everyone sat at the table quietly, eating breakfast. Not an unusual thing in the Akashi mansion, as Akashi knows very well. Once they were done, Akashi and Kuroko stood up from the table, excusing themselves.
"What's the rush?" Seito stood up from his chair when Kuroko and Akashi did.
"Sorry father, we have a meeting in about 30 minutes."
"I see. You should hurry then. No member of the Akashi family arrives late to a meeting." Seito said as Kuroko and Akashi left for the doors, Seito following them to see them off along with the maids.
Outside there was a car waiting for them, as expected. As Kuroko and Akashi approached the car, the former paused for a moment. He still couldn't believe Seito, the head Akashi, accepted him. He smiled a little and turned around, waving to the maids and Seito. He hoped he could come back soon.
"Okay, let's get going." Kuroko said to Akashi. He didn't want to be late to their meeting with Nijimura. He had to thank the other for everything.
"Right." Akashi entered the car after Kuroko and told the driver where to go. The car quickly sped off with the maids, butlers and Seito waving after them. Looking at the retreating car, Seito remembered his deceased wife.
Her smile, the way her hair swayed in the wind... You would have been proud of him Shizuka... Our boy has grown up and found his way in life. Seito though to himself as he looked up at the blue sky. What does the future hold?
The ride to the prison didn't take too long. They arrived just in time actually, if not a few minutes early. Even though he was about to enter a prison full of dangerous people, he was a bit excited. He wanted to see Nijimura again and thank the male. He may be a "thug" as he said to Kuroko that one day, but that didn't change the fact that he helped him.
"We're here." Akashi spotted the large prison building from the car. The prison was huge, dark and full of guards. No wonder since it hosts some of the deadliest thugs of Japan. But even with the guards, the prisoners have formed many small gangs within the building, fighting each other.
Akashi looked at the said place, alert. The car stopped in front of the gate as the guards cleared for them to go inside. The car sped further inside and stopped at the entrance. Akashi got out first, getting the door for Kuroko.
"Be careful Tetsuya. This is a dangerous place."
"I understand." Kuroko nodded as he looked at the dark (almost scary) building. "We'll just see Nijimura-kun then go, right?"
"Yes." Akashi confirmed as two guards walked towards them, guns placed on their backs.
"Are you Kuroko Tetsuya?" The two guards looked threateningly at Kuroko.
Kuroko didn't look at their eyes and nodded quickly. "Y-Yes.." Geez, prison guards are scary.
The two guards looked at each other, nodded, before stepping aside to let another man walk towards the bluenette and Akashi. The man wore a beige coat with a hat... the stereotypical appearance of a detective.
"Good morning Kuroko-kun. My name's Masao and I'm the detective in charge. I have some questions to ask you concerning the 'Grey Ash' incident and the role you played in it. Will you follow me to the interrogation room?"
"I.. Alright." Kuroko nodded once again. He wished Akashi could come but he didn't know if Akashi was allowed to. He just wanted Akashi close since he was going to talk about what happened... He really didn't want to remember, but he had to tell the detective.
Seeing Kuroko's hands slightly trembling, Akashi extended his hand to hold Kuroko's trembling one. Once Kuroko looked up at him, Akashi smiled. "May I go as well?" Akashi asked the detective who luckily nodded.
"Yes, since we know that Kuroko-kun is the victim we won't ask too many questions. However, we would like to know everything he knows to send those criminals to jail for life. Their crimes are too heavy and most of them already hired lawyers. We need all the information to prove they are guilty so that they can never again harm anyone else." The detective determinedly turned to Kuroko.
"Please help us Kuroko-kun. I know it may be painful to look back on those memories but we need to make sure nobody else is harmed in the future."
Well if that doesn't convince someone, Kuroko wasn't sure what would. He couldn't let anyone else get hurt! He had to help!
"I'll tell you as much as I can." He said, now determined to help. "Don't hold back if you need information."
The detective smiled, "Thank you. Please follow me." The detective along with the guards took their leave and so did Akashi and Kuroko, hand in hand. They entered the large prison and the first thing that strikes them were the walls. No windows or any source of natural light could be found inside, only light bulbs.
As they walked deeper inside, they could finally spot a line of prisoners, chained up, being escorted by the guards to some place within the prison. Kuroko's group and the prisoners walked by and just as they did, one of the prisoners whistled.
"Wow! Are you a woman~?" The bald prisoner leaned in closer to Kuroko but was soon put back in line by one of the guards.
"Back in line!" the guard raised his voice, getting the line of prisoners back on track. The detective turned backwards with a sigh. "Ignore them Kuroko-kun, they're all hooligans."
"It's alright.." Kuroko replied, trying to hold back a sigh. Did he look like a woman or something? Why did so many people think that? Just because he doesn't have a lot of muscles and had a small frame doesn't make him a woman! Not that there was anything wrong with them.
He held onto Akashi's hand tighter, trying to look only straight. He didn't want to look around or catch anyone else's attention.
"Maybe it was a bad idea to come here? What if everyone launches at you~? My date is too cute and beautiful for everybody not to notice~" Akashi teased, making light of what just happened and trying to relax his date.
Kuroko appreciated Akashi calling him cute and beautiful but the thought of people jumping him scared him. He whimpered a little and walked closer to Akashi. "I still need to do this though... No backing out now."
Akashi smirked, "Of course~ and don't worry Tetsuya. I won't let anyone touch you or else they would get a death sentence~" Kuroko couldn't see it very clearly but he noticed some of the prisoners getting chills down their spines from a distance.
"Please don't actually kill anyone yourself." Kuroko said but brightened up a little. At least Akashi noticed when he was uncomfortable and tried to help.
The group walked and walked until they finally reached their destination, the detective requested that Akashi stays outside, since the interrogation process will be short. Everyone understands that Kuroko is the victim but then again, evidence from a witness has to be collected.
Akashi had to wait for almost more than half an hour. The detective didn't have many questions, but they all took quite a bit of explaining to do to make sense. Kuroko was pretty anxious the whole time but he hoped he did well. He wanted to help as much as he could.
When they were finished, Kuroko was allowed to leave the room and return to Akashi. "I'm done. Let's go see Nijimura-kun now?"
Akashi looked at his date in worry, knowing he had to bring those horrible memories back to light. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry. It had to be done." Kuroko said, taking a small breath. "Let's just go."
"Right." Akashi looked around for a guard and spotted one. He approached the man, taking out his phone, scrolling down until he found the message he was looking for.
"We have an appointment to meet one of your prisoners." Akashi showed his phone to the guard who looked at it before taking out his own electronic device. The guard copied the code from Akashi's phone and confirmed that indeed they do have an appointment.
"Follow me." The guard took Kuroko and Akashi to their destination. The visitation room was much more welcoming than the rest of the prison, perhaps because guests from the outside come here. The large waiting hall did have windows, which relieved those prisoners who came from within the dark prison cells.
Akashi and Kuroko waited in the waiting room, beside them a crying woman and some other people who came to visit the prisoners.
"Kuroko Tetsuya and Akashi Seijuro!" the guard called up as Akashi and Kuroko stood up. The guards have brought Nijimura into the closed off room and restrained him so that he wouldn't try to escape. When Akashi and Kuroko walked in, Nijimura was very surprised to see them.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well.. I just needed to thank you." Kuroko said, wanting to get that embarrassing part over with. "Without your help, Seijuuro probably wouldn't have saved me from what almost happened with Haizaki-kun... And you even went against your own gang knowing that you'll probably go to jail." Now that he thought about it, why did Nijimura even do that? How did he know Akashi? "Why though? It couldn't have been just for me, right?"
Kuroko sat on the chair opposite of Nijimura, glass separating the two of them as their voices could be heard from a speaker. Akashi stood next to Kuroko while his date talked to the prisoner.
Nijimura was silent for a while before sighing, "You shouldn't have come here. I don't need your gratitude. And as to why I did it... it wasn't for you. I planned to do this for a while now and the opportunity had presented itself with Akashi. I used him to get rid of the gang. For my own reasons."
So it was as Kuroko suspected. He didn't think Nijimura completely did it just for him or for Akashi. "I understand. But whether you want it or not, I'm still going to thank you. It seems wrong if I don't."
"I don't deserve it!" Nijimura raised his voice, startling both Kuroko and Akashi. The two looked at the cuffed prisoner who clenched his fists on the table.
"Tell me Kuroko, do you have blood on your hands?"
"I.. No, but.." What did this have to do with being polite and thanking the person who helped save you?
"Of course you don't and you never will." Nijimura leaned back in his seat, head tilted downwards. He opened his clenched hands, looking at them.
"So with that will you guess what is the one thing you have to do in order to be accepted into the gang? A trial of sorts to get in."
Kuroko didn't speak, just staring at Nijimura through the glass. Nijimura didn't mean... "You don't mean..." There was no way Nijimura would hurt or even kill someone, right?
"Yes. I killed people." and with that revelation, silence overtook the little room. Nijimura looked up at Kuroko to see his shocked eyes. Akashi on the other hand wasn't so surprised but still looked at the raven head with a sort of sorrow.
"First it was an innocent girl. I had to kill her in order to get accepted. Then after that it became a part of me... I can still hear their screams as they pleaded me not to kill them." Nijimura looked at his hands again, but no matter how hard he tried to scrub it off, with his eyes all he could see is blood. Blood on his hands... the never fading reminder that he had taken lives.
"So... did you change your mind about thanking me?"
"I.."
Kuroko couldn't believe Nijimura killed people. He took lives just to be in a gang. He would understand if Nijimura only hurt someone but to kill? Just to be apart of a group?
"I'm not saying what you did is right or okay. It definitely isn't and I know that. But it still doesn't change the fact that you did help me."
He wasn't okay with Nijimura killing of course. Who would? But he did see Nijimura's regret. He did see that he felt guilty. Not only that but Nijimura eventually turned against the group anyway. "Yell at me if you want, but I will still at least say thank you. You've done wrong and I don't know if you can ever repay from taking a life, but you did try to do some good and I'm not going to ignore that because of what you did in your past."
Nijimura looked at Kuroko in confusion. He's still grateful? How laughable!
"You're strange. A total weirdo!" Nijimura threw himself on the backrest, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
He looked at Kuroko once again but his eyes travelled to Akashi as well. "Then tell me one more thing. Is love really worth fighting for?"
What kind of sudden question was that? Kuroko glanced at Akashi before looking back at Nijimura. "Honestly... I think so. I think it is definitely something worth fighting for."
"Even if the person you love betrays you?"
"...If you love each other, the other person couldn't have betrayed you unless they had a reason." Kuroko answered. "I can't say this will be for every situation though. But I still think you should fight for it all in all."
"It may not be as easy as you say." Nijimura looked at Kuroko intensely.
"What if you love someone but that person doesn't love you back? You do everything within your power to make them notice you but in the end they look at someone else despite all of your sacrifices. Let's say, what if you love Akashi so much that you would do anything for him but Akashi doesn't love you at all and has another person of interest?"
Just the thought of Akashi not loving him hurt so badly. If Akashi didn't love him when Kuroko put his all into loving him... He didn't know what he'd do.
"I can't answer that.." He admitted, looking down at his hands. "All I know is that I wouldn't want that.."
"I don't want that as well idiot. Nobody does." Thus the complexity of the question. What is love and is it really worth fighting for? Even if you have zero chance at succeeding, should you still fight for it? Also, what if the person you love is happy being with someone else? Would you interfere or be left with a broken heart?
With Nijimura asking all these questions, Kuroko was starting to think Nijimura loved someone. Who could it be? If it had to be someone he knew, the only one who could possibly fit that description is... "Nijimura-kun... Is it possible that you.. love Haizaki-kun?"
"Hahahaha!" Nijimura burst out in laughter, tears running down his cheeks. At this point Kuroko was completely taken aback and wasn't sure if it was from laughter or something else...
After calming himself down, Nijimura looked at Kuroko again, smirking. "You kno-" Piiiiiippppp! Suddenly an alarm went off, signalling the end of the visit session. Nijimura patiently waited as two guards behind him approached to untie his shackles from his seat. Once up, Nijimura walked towards the exit doors with them.
But not before turning around to Kuroko one last time, "You know Kuroko. I think that love is a disgusting thing. The more you love someone, the bigger the sorrow. 'What is love?' and 'Is it worth fighting for?', I'll leave it up to you to figure it out. I hope you find your answer soon." and with that, Nijimura along with the guards disappeared behind the doors.
Kuroko didn't look at Akashi even when the other gently touched his shoulder and asked if he was okay and if he wanted to leave. He was only thinking about what Nijimura said. What was the answer to those questions?
He has found love so it was easy for him to answer, but what about people who haven't? They have not found love so they don't know what it's like to love and be loved... How does one answer a question that is based entirely on opinion?
"Tet..."
"Tetsu..."
"Tetsuya!" Akashi called out to Kuroko who was completely lost in thoughts. "Are you okay?"
"Huh?" Kuroko looked up at Akashi before hesitantly nodding. "Uh, yeah. I'm fine. Let's just go."
Akashi watched Kuroko in worry as the bluenette walked up to the doors. Having heard the conversation, Akashi was at a loss as well. What is love? he asked himself but found that he's unable to answer. Does love even have definition? Akashi wondered as he followed Kuroko out and into the car.
A few days later, it was decided, with enough evidence collected, that Haizaki and his gang will rot in jail for the rest of their lives. A punishment fit for those who killed and did as they pleased for years. Bringing misery to many people.
