Chapter 12

Haruko's P.O.V

'It has been three days since we've seen Miyuki, I don't know what happened but I'm slightly worried' however I quickly dismissed that thought, maybe she's just sick or something. At lunch we were eating on the roof when suddenly it opened revealing Miyuki, gasping in surprise Hanako and I ran towards her; she has grown thinner than before and she now have bags under her eyes. Miyuki quickly looked around before asking us "Can I talk to you two for a minute?" her voice was quiet we still heard her, nodding we followed her out the door. "I'm sorry." She mumbled, eyes wide in surprise both Hanako and I asked what she said again. "I said I'm sorry, look I know I'm wrong and I'm sorry for what I did to you both, I wasn't thinking correctly that I've become selfish…. So will you forgive me?" she looked at the both of us with hopeful eyes. "We forgive you…" I trailed off when I notice her eyes brightened before continuing "but it doesn't mean that, what friendship we have before will be the same, I'm sorry." I finished, looking at her down rotten face "It's okay, I just want to set things straight and don't worry I won't bother you anymore, thank you for everything." After she said that she quickly turned around and ran away from us.

Confused we walked back to the guys and waited for the bell. When the class finished, Kuroko and I walked out the door only to see Satsuki waiting for us which was unusual, because the teacher always lets them out five minutes before the bell, same as the rest of the GoM. The three of us quickly walked towards the gym, however, before we can even get there Kuroko suddenly disappeared when neither of us are looking. However, I figured that Kuroko just ran ahead of us, Sastsuki and I continued talking about random things. Arriving at the gym, we entered and saw it was pitched black, suddenly the lights opened and we saw a banner being held up by the GoM, including Kuroko that said "Shiroyuki Haruko will you be mine?" confused and red in the face, I didn't notice Akashi behind me until he tapped my shoulder.

Turning around I was greeted by Akashi holding a bouquet giving it to me before kneeling and taking a hold of my hand announcing "Haruko, I know that this is so sudden but I never want anyone else other than you, so please answer my question, will you be mine?" dumbfounded all I could let out was a "Huh?"

"Will you be mine?" he repeated, this time however, my brain processed what he said and I nearly fainted. "Y-y-you m-m-mean y-y-you're g-gonna b-be m-my b-b-b-boyfriend?" my stutter was nearly incoherent but thankfully he understood, I don't want to repeat it again after all. He nodded and caught me when I fell to my knees, the shock making me weak. All around us everyone was laughing and congratulating us, all except one.

3rd P.O.V

All the players are congratulating the new pair, everyone was happy except Shigure; his hands were balled into a fist and gripping it so hard it turned into white. He was not happy, he was supposed to be there, not that damn redhead though even if he was angry he had enough sense to accept it; after all, he wanted Haruko to be happy. Quickly walking over to where Akashi was standing, he motioned for Akashi to follow him; and he did. For a while there was silence before he broke it "Akashi, I will give up this time but if you let her cry I will take her from you and I will make sure you regret it." He said seriously looking at Akashi who smirked "Is that a threat?" "No, it's a promise." He waited for Akashi to respond for they were nearing the gym. Akashi nodded seriously and Shigure walked faster; satisfied. When the two of them entered the gym, they saw everyone having fun; and since it was Friday its alright for them to stay until later, so they (Akashi and Shigure) joined them (GoM, Haruko, Hanako, Kuroko and the other players)

Too soon it was time to go home, Kuroko, Murasakibara and Haruko the three of them accompanying Haruko to her house, Aomine and Satsuki left together, Kise and Midorima as well, that left Akashi and Haruko; though still awkward Akashi held her hand on the way to her house. There was silence as neither of them knew what to say, but it was a comfortable silence and finally when they are near her house Akashi spoke "Haruko, will you go on a date with me tomorrow?" Haruko stopped walking and looked at Akashi in surprise; not expecting him to ask that, Akashi taking her silence and surprised expression as a rejection began to apologise "I'm sor—" he was interrupted by Haruko "I would love to." Surprised but quickly answered "I'll get you at 12 p.m, don't eat anything and wear something casual." Smiling warmly at each other with faint blush on their faces they continued to walk until they're in front of the door, saying goodnight Haruko quickly kissed Akashi's cheek and entered the house with a large smile on her face, same could be said about Akashi who held his cheek absentmindedly.

*NEXT DAY*

Waking up at nine, Haruko dialled Hanako's number and asked her to come to her house, while waiting for Hanako to arrive; Haruko showered and picked dresses and laid them out to her bed the same time Hanako knocked. Haruko peeked before letting Hanako in asked her opinion. "Whoa whoa, wait a second, why did you call and what's the occasion?" Hanako asked with raised eyebrow to a sheepish looking Haruko. "You see, Sei-chan… well, he… umm" Haruko stuttered but Hanako just waited patiently and urged her to continue, inhaling a big breath she finally told "Sei-chan asked me on a date, he said to wear something casual and I don't know what to pick." Squealing Hanako congratulated her friend and helped her to pick her dress, and fixing her hair. By the time they finished it was 15 minutes before twelve.

Quickly walking downstairs, both of them weren't surprised to see it empty; Haruko's mother was always at work and her younger brother in his room. They waited for a few minutes watching t.v and the sound of knocking shook them from watching.

Haruko's P.O.V

Swallowing a lump in my throat I answered the door and Akashi's face greeted me with a smile. 'My god, even in casual he looks hot' I thought before shooking my head to clear that thought, I greeted him with a warm smile and asked if would like to go in, but he just shook his head and we were off. I told Hanako goodbye and let him lead me to his car.

We quickly took off not noticing a cab following us, for a few minutes neither of us said anything until I spoke "Sei, where are we going?" I asked curiously, noticing the sudden change of scenery, he just chuckled amusedly before answering "That's a secret, but don't worry we're here now." He suddenly pulled to a stop before walking out and opening the car for me. "I'll put a blindfold on you now." "Is it really necessary?" I whined slightly but he just took my hand we walked deeper, for a few minutes of walking I felt him take the blindfold off, quickly adjusting to the light I was surprised to see a picnic lying in the middle of the meadow. Akashi took my hand again and we walked over there, we sat down and eat while talking to each other; it was nice and I wouldn't mind doing it again. After we finished eating we lied there for a bit, "Haruko…" Akashi hesitated, wondering that maybe he was pushing his luck but said it anyway "Can I put my head on your lap?" before looking at the side, embarrassed. Haruko smiled and leaned in a tree taking hold of his head and putting it on her lap. They stayed there talking and having fun until six in the evening.

*MEANWHILE*

Hanako's P.O.V

After contacting Kuroko to the place where we'll meet I quickly followed Haruko and Akashi into the woods, after memorizing the location I quickly ran towards the meeting place, waiting for a few minutes until a cab pulled over and Kuroko came out. "Kuroko-kun come on their here." I hurriedly said, not wanting to miss anything special. You see, I told Kuroko that Haruko's on a date so I asked him to accompany me at stalking the two of them. When we get there we saw that they already finished eating and Akashi had is head on Haruko's lap, tripping over a rock I fell down, hoping that they didn't heard us. From the sound of talking stopping I bet they did. Kuroko notice too and pulled me down, our bodies almost touching, he was on all fours with one hand beside me while the other over my mouth, I was lying flat on my back at the grass. I was surprised at first but it quickly turned into embarrassment; noticing our position I weakly struggled but too surprised to do anything I gave up, eyes wide in shock. After a few moments Kuroko sighed in relief before looking at me to tell it was okay but stopped when he noticed our position; our face only two inches apart, noticing this he—
