Title: To Fix You
Pairing: AoKise
Summary: Depressed after being ditched in his wedding overseas, Kise wanders around to find a lost 4-year old boy and helps him find his father, Aomine Daiki; A widower who still couldn't push himself to move on. How will these two broken people find the way to fix themselves?
"Daddy! Daddy! Look at this!" Nikko rushed toward their living room wherein his father was lazily lying on the sofa while watching on the TV. Aomine glanced at his son who seemed excited about something and asked him about it.
"Kise-san! It's Kise-san!" Aomine's eyebrow raised. "What about him?" He asked.
Nikko pouted, "You seem uninterested. But anyway, look!" The tanned blunette raised a fashion magazine where Aomine saw a familiar blonde wearing really bright clothes.
"Is that…?"
"Yup! I saw our neighbor holding it and I took notice that it was Kise-san on the cover!" Aomine snatched the magazine and looked closely at the said cover. He read the lines on the side.
"The comeback of a supermodel, Kise Ryouta… So, he originally worked as a model.. Hey, Nikko, can you tell our neighbor that I'd borrow this for a sec?" Aomine asked, as he look interestingly at the magazine that he was holding. After the life confession that the blonde told him, the tanned male became more curious about Kise's life. Somehow, he wanted to know the blonde better. Maybe because he thinks that they were in the same boat.
After hours of reading articles about Kise, Aomine seemed to know a lot more about the man. He already knew about the gay marriage. But it wasn't listed in the article about the blonde. The entire article was about some random information about Kise like playing basketball in highschool and at the same time modeling for fashion magazines.
"No wonder he became gay." Aomine mumbled to himself.
At that same moment, Kise, who was currently cooking his lunch, sneezed. "Fans must've missed me." He said to himself.
While he waited for his food, Kise's phone rang.
"Hello? Oh, Sakuracchi!... Ow! Don't shout on the phone please~…. What?... What do you mean by public demand?! I need rest too, you know!... Hey! It's not like I said that I'd want my schedule packed again, didn't I?... Ughhh, okay fine! I'll be there….. Yes, yes. I'll be quick." Once he shut his phone, the blonde threw himself on the sofa and sighed deeply.
"This is what you get from going back, Ryouta. You've expected this, haven't you? So suck it up!"
As he talked to himself, the bell on Kise's door rang. He sighed once again and decided to answer the unknown guest. "Who is it?"
"It's me-nanodayo."
"What are you doing here, Midorimacchi? Never thought you'd have the guts to come here again."
"Shut up. I need to ask you about something so open the door." Kise rolled his eyes and finally opened the door and found his friend holding a ruler and the magazine he was featured in.
"Oooh! Are you a new fan, Midorimacchi?" A smack on his head was given by Midorima as soon as he finished his statement. "Don't be stupid. Why did you went back on modeling, is what I want to know, so I went here."
Kise pouted. "Why? Is it a bad idea? It's a perfect distraction, Midorimacchi!"
"From what?"
"Anything!"
"Specifically from what?"
"Why are you nagging me?! You're not my mom—Ack! Ouch! Stop hitting me with that ruler!" Midorima shook his head and continued hitting Kise's head with his ruler. "You're lucky that I'm not Akashi. If I was him, I already stabbed you with this!" Kise pouted as his visitor kept on smacking the ruler against him. "Hey! Don't mention Akashi so casually!"
"Aren't we the ones who told you? Don't ever come back to modeling! IT WILL NOT DISTRACT YOU! It will bring back all memories! Even Akashi said so! Did you ever thought that once Akashi knows about this, he'll fly to Tokyo this instant and he'll kill you for opposing his decision!" Midorima yelled, trying to wake Kise up to his senses while continuously hitting him with his ruler. Kise suddenly stopped running from the male, surprised from the information Midorima had given him. "Akashi's not in Japan?" He asked.
"Oh yeah. He and that Furihata Kouki went to Korea while you were gone. Akashi said that they'll live there from now on." [Yay for AkaFuri! :"""]
"Korea? Isn't that a bit too near?"
"I asked him that too. Do you know what his answer was?" Kise shook his head but gulped and prepared for the worst.
"'So that flights won't be long when you lot make trouble.' he said. So prepare to die, Kise." Midorima warned as Kise shook in fear while sitting on his sofa.
"That can't be serious, right? Akashicchi didn't mean that, right?!"
"I apologize, but he does mean everything he says. Enjoy your last days, hmm?"
That noon, Kise's screams for help can be heard throughout the whole hotel building.
After an hour of trying to escape from the wrath of Midorima's ruler, Kise finally got tired and dumped himself on the couch while panting. Then a sudden realization hit him, "Wait a minute, Midorimacchi. What do you mean Akashicchi said that modeling would not distract me? He didn't say that before, right? All he told me was to quit."
Midorima cursed inwardly and faced Kise. "I didn't say anything about Akashi telling you that." He lied, trying to escape from Kise's questions.
Kise glared at his friend. "Mi-do-ri-macchi~" He called out, trying to give him a warning.
Midorima sighed and looked at Kise once again, "Akashi knew about the affair and told me about it." The blonde's eyes widened at the confession. He was so shocked that he stood up from his seat and approached Midorima who was across him.
"And what?! You didn't tell me?!"
"Akashi told me that it's better if you find it out yourself. He said that you won't believe us even if we told you about it." Midorima explained. Akashi kept it a secret from anyone but him and Furihata since he knows that Kise would never believe anything that would make him doubt Kasamatsu.
Kise slipped down the floor and fell on his knees, tears slipping through his eyes. "You should've told me sooner! That way, I wouldn't feel so stupid when he ditched the wedding!"
Midorima couldn't lift his head up and face the blonde. He knew he was somewhat at fault for blindly obeying Akashi's orders and not thinking about Kise's feelings. Kise was right, he should have told him sooner so things wouldn't have gotten worse.
"Can you please leave? I want to be alone." Midorima bit his lip as he slowly stood up from his seat. He walked towards the door while eyeing his friend. Silently, he left the apartment.
Kise avoided going out of his apartment at all cost. His manager even tried to barge in since he's delaying the photoshoots for his endorsements but Kise couldn't care less. He was just so upset that none of them mentioned about his ex-fiancé's affair. The blonde understood that they're worried about what would happen to him if ever they did told him.
Still, he felt like an idiot while waiting for the bastard.
Kise sat up on his bed and sighed deeply. "What am I so depressed for?" He asked himself. The blonde thought, It's not like anything will change. Even if they told me sooner, I will still get hurt.
Finally, he got out of his bed and went to the bathroom. Kise checked himself in the mirror and almost yelled due to shock. His face looked horrible. His eyes were red and puffy for crying non-stop. There are large bags under his eyes and boy, does he look paler than ever. The blond groaned, feeling lazy to wash his face but his manager kept on nagging him to attend work.
"Sigh…. Whatever!"
It was a weekend so Aomine and his son were lazily sitting on the couch eating popcorn while watching TV. Aomine's eyes were half-lidded as he flipped the channels on the screen. He heard his son yawn and said, "Hey Dad, why don't we go outside today? It feels so stuffy here."
Aomine shrugged. "Good idea. I was waiting for you to say that, actually." He stood up from the sofa then took the bowl of popcorn and brought it to the kitchen. When he got out, Nikko was already prepared, making him chuckle. "Excited, aren't ya?" The boy nodded. "Hurry and get dressed, Dad!" Nikko said as he ran outside.
Aomine shook his head as he watched his son jump excitedly on their lawn. Thinking that Nikko is going to be impatient, Aomine ran to his room to change.
After a few seconds of changing, both of them were ready to go. The two decided to walk around the city and bought some ice cream for the both of them. As they continued strolling, Aomine heard some faint squeals near them.
"What's that?" Nikko asked his father which Aomine replied with a shrug.
"Why don't we look?"
The two started following the direction of the squeals which led them to a crowd circling some kind of celebrity. "Who could that be?" Aomine silently muttered to himself. Before curiosity could kill him, Aomine carried Nikko and tried to go through the crowd and see what's in front.
Unexpectedly, his eyes fell on the familiar blonde who has his eyes focused on the camera. Slowly, he tried to turn his back and leave the crowd but his son's squeal prevented him.
"Waah! It's Kise-san!" Nikko exclaimed gleefully and even tried to wave at the blonde model but failed. While his son was complimenting how cool Kise was, Aomine couldn't tear his eyes off the model. He thinks, With this large scale of fans, why the hell didn't I recognize him?
Hours had passed by when the photoshoot ended, the crowd reduced a little too but some fans tried to approach Kise for an autograph.
Suddenly, the weight on Aomine's arms disappeared and before he knew it, Nikko was already dragging him towards Kise's direction. "Kise-san~!" The boy called out as he waved at the blonde.
Kise's ears perked up when he heard a familiar voice calling him despite the numerous squeals of girls circling him.
"Nikko! Aomine-san! Why are you here?!" He asked, shocked to see the two Aomines.
"Why do you sound like we're not allowed to pass by here?" Aomine scoffed but yelped when Nikko pinched his hand. "Don't be rude, Dad! Kise-san just finished working so he's tired! Don't yell at him like that, he'll be stressed out, you know." The boy said, lecturing his father.
"Oi, just what are you learning from Tetsu's school?"
Kise chuckled, feeling light after he saw the two. Realizing that his fans were still there, he finished signing autographs for them and bid them goodbye.
"Hey, want to drink coffee?" Aomine offered which Kise responded with a nod. "Wait for me."
The three of them settled in a small café near the area where Kise had his shoot. As they wait for their orders, Nikko excused himself and went to the bathroom.
"Hey, you didn't tell me that you're a model." Aomine said, opening a topic.
Kise shrugged, "You didn't ask."
"Even so. Aren't we friends now?" Surprised, Kise looked at the man across the table and smiled. "Are we?" He asked which urged Aomine to smack his head. "Do you still think that we're not friends? After all the things you've done for us. I owe you so much."
"Hey, for your information, friends are not like loan sharks. You don't become friends just because you owe another person." Kise pointed out. Aomine scratched the back of his neck, feeling a little embarrassed.
"It's not only about that, of course."
Kise laughed at the blunette's unexpected cuteness. "I'm just joking. Give me your number and settle this friendship, shall we?"
"Why should I give you my number?" Aomine asked, feeling a little careful since Kise is gay. The blonde rolled his eyes. "Duh. Friends should have each other's numbers. And I doubt you'd text me if I were the one to give you mine, so give me yours to be sure."
The blunette sighed. "Fine." He said, making the blonde grin like an idiot.
Just a few minutes after having coffee with Kise, the two Aomines finally arrived home. Nikko was skipping to the door. Aomine smiled. His son really likes the blonde. Somehow, he, too, feels attached to Kise.
As he got inside the house, his phone lit up, indicating that a message came. Aomine flipped his phone open and read the message from an unknown address.
