Sinopsis: "For me Tetsuya was the one I loved in this world. He was the one I wanted to touch, to love, and all. If we had the same feeling, if our bond was tighter than other pairs of twin, if this love turned to be forbidden, then let me loved him in that way." -AkaKuro pairing-

Chapter 10
It was been a week again. I sat at my armchair, doing my daily work: reading and writing a summary of my family company's global share changes. It was tiring since I did it after school for every day. I had 3 hours to read and resume at least two thick reports. Dad surely increased the number of my work. I didn't know why. Was the company in a pinch? He worked more and more. He was rarely at home. Tetsuya sometimes asked about him, but I could not give other reasons except working. After all he was father; he was our hard-working father. I began to doubt myself if he was better than Kuroko Aimi.
The door opened softly. It had to be Tetsuya since Furusawa or others would knock the door first.
"Sei-kun?" He called while appearing from the other side of the door. He was already in his pajamas.
"Tetsuya? Come here." I smiled and waved my hand as a signal for him to come nearer. He walked toward me and stopped in front of table.
"Are you still working? It's been late." He commented while seeing the stack of papers on the table.
"I need to finish this report as soon as possible. Are you already done with your study?" I asked back.
"Um," He nodded. "Can I help you something?"
I shook my head.
"No need. I'll finish it in no time. Just wait. Are you sleepy?"
"Um." He yawned and rubbed his blue eyes.
"Then, you may sleep first." I suggested but Tetsuya shook his head.
"I'll wait at the sofa." He pointed the big sofa in the right side.
"Okay. I'll wake you up later." I nodded.
He walked toward the sofa, set a pillow, and tried to sleep. At the same time, I returned to my work. Typed my summary and send it to father's email in the next fifteen minutes. I closed the notebook and walked toward my sleeping brother. I kneeled down and patted his teal head.
"Tetsuya, I've done." I whispered at his right ear. He moved a bit but he didn't wake up.
"It seems I don't have any choice."
I reached both of his hands, twined them to my neck and raised both of his thighs. I carried his light body on my back and walked to the door. I opened the door with my right hand while the other one held Tetsuya's body. In the halfway, I met Furusawa.
"Seijuuro-sama, why do you carry Tetsuya-sama? Let me―"
I shook my head.
"I'll carry him by myself. He is not heavy at all." I smiled and continued to the next door, my room.
"Are your work already done, Seijuuro-sama?" Asked Furusawa while following me entering the room and placed Tetsuya at the bed.
"I've send it to father. You don't have to worry. I'm so tired now." I yawned and began to unbutton my shirt. Furusawa moved to the wardrobe and took a pair of pajamas. He handed it to me.
"I'm sorry to make you double your work. You must be tired from school and club activities, but your help is needed to the company."
"I know. I even ignored Tetsuya these two days."
"But Tetsuya-sama is really serious in studying. Although he is in average level, he tried so hard to catch up."
I smiled again.
"He is a type of someone who can give an unexpected result. That's why I love him."
"Do you need something else?" Furusawa offered. I shook my head.
"No. You may leave."
"Good night, Seijuuro-sama. Have a nice dream."
"Good night, Furusawa."
He switched off the lamp and closed the door. I climbed up the bed and turned round to see Tetsuya's sleeping face. He was as innocent as always.
"Sei-kun…" he called my name in his sleeping.
"Yes…" I answered softly.
Unexpectedly, he was awakened and softly stared at me.
"Sei-kun, we're already at bedroom?"
I nodded.
"You're so busy lately. Are you okay with your study? The final exam is next week." He added.
"No problem, you don't have to worry anything about me. " I replied.
He moved forward and grabbed my cheeks.
"If you are not okay, please tell me."
"Um." I nodded.
I moved my hand to his waist and closed our distance.
"Sei-kun?"
"I need you to be my pillow." I grinned. He looked a little bit excited, but he didn't want to be the one who was teased.
"Then―" He leaned a light kiss and smiled. It made me surprised since he was a passive type in a relationship.
"Let's sleep. You must be tired." He added and closed his eyes.
I lost my control and blushed. If it was not because of the dark, he could see my red cheeks clearly. However, I set a smile and closed my eyes. It was a tiring day, but Tetsuya was my vitamin to endure everything. I was so grateful having him in my side.
"Atsushi don't lose control!" I yelled at the giant purple head who did his dunk in front of ring higher than the ring itself. He almost kicked one of his foes with his long leg.
"Hai Aka-chin!" He smiled like a child while standing up at the court.
Tetsuya showed himself from nowhere and gave his miracle pass to Daiki who enjoyed his turn and dribbled his basketball along the court. He shot from the angle every one amazed at. Really, he was the ace of Generation of Miracles.
When the ball was falling down from the ring, Tetsuya was already there. He caught the ball and passed it to Shintarou in the half court. There, he caught the ball and shot his three point perfectly.
"Because I always follow Oha-Asa I'll make a perfect shot, nanodayo." He adjusted his glasses and walked to his original court with Atsushi while the ball fell down from the high someone could not follow with his normal eyes.
The whistle was blown and the game was ended. The victory was in the first string hand with 98 – 7. It seemed with that kind of talent, the second string would never make his debut in the middle school as long as we, Generation of Miracles here.
"They are too strong." Some second stringer commented but he avoided our eyes as they left the court to the locker room.
"Good job." I said from the bench while Daiki looked at me surprisingly.
"You're not playing, Akashi? It's so rare."
"Without me, you already win this game. With me in, they will be more down because the score will be further apart." I explained. They nodded except Kuroko.
"What do you think, Tetsuya?"
"No, I just think that we are improving." He said and looked at the last second stringer who already left the court.
"I think they are become weaker?" Daiki guessed.
"No, all of you are blooming right now. Keep it up. We will be the best and the strongest team ever in Japanese History." I added. They nodded again.
"Aka-chin, give me candies." Atsushi thrust his palm in front of me. I took something in my pocket and gave him a dozen of candy. He grinned happily and sat down to the bench while opening his candies one by one.
Besides, Shintarou took his lucky item, a tennis ball, and held it while drinking a pocari. Daiki drank his pocari and offered the rest to Tetsuya but I glared at him and gave another new pocari for Tetsuya.
"Thank you, Sei-kun."
Daiki was frozen, Atsushi dropped his candies, and Shintarou in his usual expression since he was the first one who knew our relationship.
"Sei-kun?" Daiki looked at Tetsuya unbelievably.
"Sei-chin?" Atsushi added.
"No, Murasakibara. He didn't say Sei-chin." Shintarou corrected him.
"Ah, I called Akashi-kun Sei-kun now." Tetsuya looked at both in his usual deadpanned expression.
"What is your relationship? It's more intimate, since―" Daiki glanced at me and returned to Tetsuya in another second. "No one can call him by his first name."
"I hear that, Daiki. That's true, but it's different for Tetsuya since he is―"
"Tetsu-kun!" Satsuki run and hug Tetsuya tightly with together with piles of towel. "You are so great as usual."
"Ano Momoi-san, I can't breathe." Tetsuya said with his flat tone.
"Satsuki, release him." I commanded her. She sneered at me but she knew well that I was undeniable. She released Tetsuya and distributed the towel to all of us.
"So what is your relationship?" Daiki asked in rush.
"We are twin brother." Tetsuya answered honestly, but it seemed no one except Shintarou believed it.
"You two don't look anything alike. How can both of you become twin so sudden?" Daiki laughed a lot.
"Tetsu-kun is funny." She grabbed Tetsuya's arm in excitement.
"Kuro-chin, you can be a comedian."
"No, he is serious." I added. All of them shut his mouth instantly and froze in another second, in their disbelief expression.
"Hei Akashi, you can't be serious, right?" Daiki tried to speak after long pause.
"I'm serious. Don't you think the same, Shintarou?" I pierced at Shintarou's eyes.
"Um. I don't understand and I don't want to understand your matter, but you are right. Kuroko―maybe he is another Akashi now is your brother. He already explained everything to me couple of days ago."
"Uso…" Satsuki showed his disbelief but she didn't have any choices except believe it.
"He is similar to my late mother, but I was a copy of my father. We're born from different ova but we're born in the same day." I explained later as they tried to understand my unbelievable sudden explanation.
"So, you are not a couple?" Satsuki glanced at me and Tetsuya mutually.
Tetsuya shook his head.
It was a little bit surprising me after what happened in the amusement park before and our kisses after that. Is he still afraid to acknowledge our real feeling to others?
"Ne, so it's okay if I'll be your sister-in-law in the future, Akashi nii-chan?"
"Like hell I will allow that!" I glared at happy face Satsuki with murderous aura, but it seemed she wasn't aware of it. She was still laughing in her own happy fantasy life.
We ended the conversation and all of them left with their own disbelief expression especially Daiki who loved his shadow more than anyone else. Maybe he just didn't understand how to react with this fact. Tetsuya and I was the last one who walked to the locker room and changed our T-shirt with Teikou uniform. We held our hands and walked across the school yard. We met Furusawa and saw a long black limousine.
"Seijuuro-sama, Tetsuya-sama. I've waited. We need to talk seriously about something." Furusawa bowed slightly. He opened the door and let us entering the car.
"What's the matter, Furusawa?" I asked.
He handed a pretty envelope. I unwrapped it. Tetsuya took a look at it too.
It was an invitation of father's birthday next month. It would be held at one of our resort in Kyoto. As usual, it would be a boring party where a business man from all over Japan, even politicians came and discussed about their wealth like it was an arena to show off their wealth to others. For my innocent brother, it would be a bad influence. He was too fragile to see the reality of human bad natures.
"Master asked both of his sons to attend the party no matter what happen. Tetsuya-sama will be introduced as legitimate son of Akashi there." Furusawa explained later.
"Furusawa-san, is it okay since I was not at the family since the very first?" Tetsuya looked so doubt with what he had heard.
"No, you are wrong, Tetsuya-sama. From the very first, Master said that he has two sons, but because Kuroko-san took you away, he said that you were taken away from the city because of your bad health. He must believe that someday you will back to this family, so he can re-introduce you to public." Furusawa explained.
"But father said he already give up on Tetsuya." I tried to protest father's unbelievable acts.
"Yes, but he knows that his other son would not give up on his brother. He must believe in you so much, Seijuuro-sama." Furusawa smiled.
"He was a good father, ne, Sei-kun." Even Tetsuya set a light smile.
As long as father didn't kill Tetsuya's existence, I'll forgive him. He was so cool as usual. It was like what he predicted in the past would eventually happen in the future. He was a really wonderful man and because of that acknowledgement, he was the one I couldn't deny at all. His words were absolute for me not only because he was my father but also because he was a respectful man I admired.
"Okay, let's attend to the party." I gave my final answer.
It's doneeeee! I'll update the next chapter this week. I wish I'll have time to write something, because I have a preparation for my cosplay project and it's tiring. Anyway, I have another fanfiction. It's KurokoxGoM. If you like multipairings, please take a look at the story (maybe you like that kind of angst/tragedy story). So far I wrote serious stories. It doesn't mean I don't like humor. I love that genre so much but the idea comes to me so far was the serious one. Although I have a new story, this fanfic is my priority. I'll write this fanfic till the end. Because of that, leave a review to fire me up, lol. See you in the next chapter!
Spoiler for Chapter 11
It's their first party, but how can the twin dance with so many girls around Seijuuro? Almost no one approached Tetsuya because of his weak presence. Is Tetsuya left behind? Is he jealous? Find out how the usual expressionless Tetsuya becomes jealous.
