'...' -Thoughts
"..."- Dialogue
Chapter two.
The last word was barely a whisper, and at the completed phrase, Kuroko let himself be enveloped in darkness, the last thing that he saw being the face of the one he loved- but will never love him back (Or so he thought)-, the tingling on his forehead where an affectionate kiss was placed, and the words "I'm sorry, Tetsuya.. Sorry for not noticing.." ringing in his ears.
Akashi was blaming himself.
They were finally at the hospital. The redhead had slapped some bills into the taxi driver's hand, and was out and about. Taking long strides, he entered the hospital and told the nurse behind the counter about his Tetsuya's condition. The nurse had responded efficiently and had a stretcher in front of Akashi and Kuroko in a short while.
That was when Akashi turned cold.
The nurses had wanted to touch his Tetsuya. Akashi felt a surge of emotions, but his ever-stoic face didn't betray him. Hands crept to his scissors in his pants. The redhead knew that it was for Tetsuya's well-being, and this wasn't the time for such possessiveness, so he let them be. But.. it didn't mean that it was fine for them to simply touch his Tetsuya.
'I'll have to do something about the female nurses..' the redhead smirked.
Upon reaching the waiting room, the red-haired captain sat down. After thinking of the ways to torment the nurses, -which were a LOT-, the redhead sent a text message to Teiko's manager.
From: Akashi Seijuurou (6.15 pm)
Subject: Tetsuya is sick.
Satsuki, tell Ryouta, Daiki, Atsushi and Shintarou that Tetsuya Is in Hospital X now. This is an order.
-Akashi.
He flipped his phone closed and put it in his normal pocket; next to his special-made pocket for his scissors.
The red-haired captain set his eyes to his Tetsuya's ward door. One leg was folded meticulously across the other, and arms were folded across his chest.
On the outside, the captain looked calm and collected; some might say 'elegant' as well; having an authoritative aura. The redhead almost looked like an emperor, or the ruler of his own kingdom. Well, people can't be blamed. Akashi does have the personality of a high-class human.
However, the things that did not make themselves known were the thoughts running deep in the redhead's mind. He was reprimanding himself for being so absorbed in his own thoughts that he dismissed his Tetsuya's obvious signs of a fever.
'Maybe I should triple my own training.' The red-haired captain thought, smirking.
That was when a doctor and a nurse walked out of the teal-haired teen's room, completely ignoring the redhead.
That is, until they realized that eyes were looking at their every step. The man with the white robe and the woman with the off-white uniform turned around, and saw a pair of eyes, -one a burning scarlet, and one a flashing gold- directed towards them. The owner of those eyes was staring casually, but the intensity of the gaze was frighteningly dense.
Of course, the doctor stayed rooted on the spot for a short moment, before making his way to the red-haired man. The nurse followed suit.
Akashi smirked inwardly. He revelled in the feeling of being superior and making people fear him.
The doctor eventually stood in front of the redhead, while the nurse avoided the intense stare she was being given the pleasure of seeing. The former glanced at the nurse's clipboard, while the latter looked everywhere else except at the eyes with the burning gaze.
Akashi stood up, eyes still boring holes into the young doctor in front of him. He ignored the fidgeting nurse, and stared expectantly at the doctor. The man looked quite young to be one, but Akashi opted not to say anything.
The clearing of a throat was heard, and the doctor began.
"Er-hem.. Are you, by any chance, the one who brought… Kuroki Tetsuno here?" The doctor asked, squinting at the *small* words on the clipboard.
"Kuroko Tetsuya." A cold, cold voice could be heard, coming from the redhead.
"A-Ah, yes. I sincerely apologize. I presume you are Kuroko Tetsuya's…?"
"Boyfriend." The voice replied. Akashi smirked inwardly again , enjoying the taste of calling himself Tetsuya's boyfriend.
The doctor finally looked up to stare into cold eyes, and continued.
"Kuroko Tetsuya is not in any life-threatening danger, but he's suffering from over-exhaustion, and has a fever."
"Hm… Is that so?" The redhead questioned.
"Y-Yes.." Came the reply with a nod.
"I see.."
"Uhm.. So, you can visit him now. He needs to stay in the hospital for two more days for checkups and for us to monitor his recovery."
"Hmm, thank you. Your service was useful." Akashi said, with his signature smirk on his face.
With a nod, the doctor and the nurse scurried off, keen on escaping.
A chuckle could be heard from a certain redhead.
The said redhead pushed open the door of his Tetsuya's ward, and walked in.
The redhead sat in a chair next to the teal-haired boy's bed, and leaned in closer to his Tetsuya's face. His Tetsuya looked so… angelic, with the baby-blue hair framing his almost pretty, pale face, to the white hospital robe that adorned his body.
WAIT. WHITE HOSPITAL ROBE?!
Akashi deadpanned. Oh,well.. He could always find out who had the guts to touch his property, and eliminate whoever it was.
Eyes softened as they looked at the bluenette, and a pale, slender hand combed itself through light blue locks. Caressing the teal-haired boy's hair ever-so-softly, Akashi found himself smiling. Yes, Akashi Seijuurou was smiling, and it isn't the usual sadistic smile, or a smirk. It was a genuine smile. A genuine smile that he would only show to Tetsuya, and only his Tetsuya.
The redhead let his eyes stray around the shorter boy's face. The closed eyelids obscuring and protecting the wide, baby blue orbs underneath, the smooth, peaceful face, the pale and slender expanse of neck that begged to be licked and looked oh-so-very delicious, the pink lips that would open and close when the owner was crying out in pleasure, and the marks that- hold on. The redhead smirked, his thoughts straying towards another direction. Faces got closer as Akashi leaned in more. Lips were being mere inches apart. The redhead's breath ghasted over the face underneath him, and warm breath could be felt on his own face too. Just a little bit further…
BANG! The door slammed open, effectively stopping the redhead in his actions and startling a teal-haired boy from his sleep.
Sleepy blue orbs locked with red and gold ones, being mere centimetres apart, before widening slightly in realization, and the teal-haired player stayed frozen in place. His brain tried to make sense of what was happening to him. Of course, just one, single thing was enough to stop his brain from functioning. Eyes above him were soft and tender, mesmerizing the teal-haired teen.
"Kurokocchi! Uwahh-! Are you alright?!" Came a ridiculously loud voice, and a blonde tumbled in.
"Tetsu-kunnnn! " A high-pitched female voice squealed, right after the blonde.
Third to follow was a rough "Oi, Tetsu!" voiced by a tanned teen with dark blue hair.
The three in the room involuntarily stopped when they saw the position that Teiko's red-haired captain and shadow were in.
Akashi was staring softly at Kuroko. It was a caring look; Kuroko found his heart pounding and all he heard was the loud rush of his blood in his ears. He lifted his head ever-so-slightly, trying to close the distance between them. Those lips were so close, and yet seemed so far to the bluenette. He briefly wondered if he would be given permission to kiss and taste them.
"Mine-chin, stop blocking the doorway.." A voice that sounded like the owner was eating and pouting at the same time was heard from the outside of the ward.
"Aomine, get out of the way." Came a sharp and manly voice, before the dark-skinned teen was shoved out of the way. The two newly arrived teens took the view in easier. The green-haired player with the sharp and yet manly voice just stood, averting his eyes, while the purple-haired giant just happily munched away, holding a month's worth of potato chips and different flavored snacks.
The five teens in the room witnessed the redhead hunched over the bluenette, a caring look on his face, and the bluenette, eyes locked with the redhead; head lifting slightly to meet with the other teen's lips.
Everything seemed to be in slow-motion.
The bluenette lifting his head up, the labored breathing, the faces inching closer and the slowly closing eyes. Everything was so slow, and…. perfect.
The redhead leaned in closer and smirked when he felt the pale boy's breath hitch.
"You have permission to kiss me, Tet-su-ya." Akashi whispered, making the last three syllables sound more seductive, smirking.
The bluenette froze, hearing his captain's words. Averting his eyes, a blush crept forward, tinting his cheeks pink.
Akashi remained in that position, knowing that his words were bringing chaos to Kuroko's mind.
The teal-haired boy found his brain melting, hearing the seductive voice of his captain. He swallowed, and lifted both of his arms. Positioning them right above Akashi's head, he nudged the head above his down.
Their lips met.
It was a very, very,*very* soft kiss.
'Soft.. and warm..' That was what both teens were thinking of. Just an innocent-okay, maybe not so innocent- closed mouth kiss. Kuroko's arms snaked across Akashi's shoulders, pressing the redhead to him and wanting more. The redhead, who was slightly surprised at the bluenette's actions, smirked into the kiss. Akashi slipped his arms underneath Kuroko's body and pulled them closer together. Kuroko felt sparks ricocheting up his spine, and the involuntary shiver made itself known again. The redhead stood up, chest pressed against the other's. He was half-leaning, and the bluenette was half-sitting. Both were pressed flush against each other, and both wanted more. A tongue asked for entrance and it was granted; tongues intertwined, exploring each other's mouths, delving into moist caverns, and teeth clacked together. It was sloppy and inexperienced, but it worked just fine for both of them. A thin trail of saliva made itself known, going down Kuroko's chin. Just the plain sight of the two making out was so erotic.
Kuroko was flying. He felt so perfect in Akashi's arms, and his brain was threatening to go into overload. He was so happy that he wanted to cry. He didn't know why, but sparks of electricity flew up his spine at every touch of his captain. He was happy; Akashi might just accept his feelings. Tears fell, and Akashi, feeling the wetness, broke the kiss. A thin string of saliva connected them for a moment, before disappearing from existence. There was a moment of complete silence; the redhead stared at the bluenette, an indistinguishable expression on his face.
Kuroko couldn't help it. The tears just kept on coming. He didn't know why they wouldn't stop. He raised up a sleeved hand and wiped off the trail of tears and the stray saliva running down his chin.
Right then, shouts and questions started.
"What're you guys doing?!"
"Akashi! What did you do to Tetsu?!"
"Akashicchi! Did you threaten Kurokocchi?!"
"Aka-chin, Kuro-chin, are both of you okay?"
"Tetsu-kunnnnn!"
Eyes glinted dangerously. Pulling away from the crying teen, the redhead stood up properly from his half-standing position and got out of the chair. He faced the other five teens in the hospital ward.
"Satsuki, Ryouta, Shintarou, Atsushi, Daiki." The redhead greeted, looking at each of them as an acknowledgement.
The redhead had a pained smile on, eyes glinting with emotion. However, no one noticed; except maybe for a certain snack-loving giant.
"Since you all have so much energy to spare, your training menus are all doubled."
"Whaa-? The dark-skinned boy managed to choke out.
"Eehhhh? But, Akashicc-" The blonde started, being cut off in the middle of his sentence.
"Daiki, Ryouta, tripled."
"Oha-Asa predicted that today Cancers will meet devils." The green-haired teen mumbled to himself.
"Oh, devil, is it?" The redhead's forced smile tightened.
Gulps were heard.
"I like it, Shintarou. Quadrupled." The sadistic captain said, smiling all the while, but there was another emotion in his eyes. Was that…. hurt? Sadness? Betrayal? Murasakibara couldn't interpret what the look meant.
"Satsuki."
"Y-Yes, Akashi-kun?" The female with pink hair stuttered out.
"Your punishment will be decided someday else."
"Y-yes.." The pink-haired girl mumbled.
Meanwhile, the purple-haired giant was just standing calmly, mouth full of chips. He knew better than to go against Aka-chin, which was why he was the only one left with a doubled-up training menu. And he was busy trying to understand why was there a foreign emotion in Aka-chin's eyes, and what caused it to be there.
'Is it because of Kuro-chin?' The giant thought to himself.
"And, Tetsuya?"
Blue eyes, full of tears, widened slightly before nodding.
"Akashi-kun."
"... I'm sorry."
Kuroko didn't know what to make of the apology. Neither did the other four teens, but Murasakibara knew; he'd guessed what was happening.
"A-Akashi-kun.. Why are y-" Kuroko started, but he was cut off mid-sentence.
"Shh.." A slim and long finger was put lightly against his lips.
The redhead leaned down and whispered softly.
"I'm sorry, Tetsuya. I won't do that again."
Kuroko still didn't understand why the redhead apologized.
Straightening himself up again, the redhead walked out without further ado, leaving Kuroko to the rest of the Generation of Miracles.
It's been a week since then. The teal-haired teen had his head full of the red-haired captain. He didn't know what he did to make his captain apologize like that. He had tried to clear his mind and think properly, but somehow, something was nagging at the back of his mind. To add to that, Kuroko still wasn't allowed to play basketball. The red-haired captain had made it clearly known that he cannot play basketball in two weeks' time, due to overwork. Because of that, Kuroko has less time to practice for the upcoming championship games. He wasn't allowed to go to school either, so he couldn't watch the team practicing. More importantly, he couldn't see Akashi, and he couldn't ask why the redhead had apologized.
"I won't do that again." What had Akashi-kun meant by that?
The teal-haired boy sighed. He'd been confined to his house for a week now. Every once in a while, a member of the Generation of Miracles would show up with something to cheer him up, usually Kise-kun with some good news, Aomine-kun with vanilla milkshakes, Murasakibara-kun with snacks, Midorima-kun with his lucky item for the day, and Momoi-san with groceries. Akashi-kun had only stopped by once, and it was just to tell him that he has to stay home and rest for the next two weeks. Even then, Akashi-kun didn't give him any chance to ask about the apology.
Kuroko let his thoughts wander to Akashi; the fiery-red hair, the slim build that was so much like his, and yet, the big difference in their stamina, the pale skin that was so much like his own, and the difference in height between them being a mere five centimetres. He let his mind wander around aimlessly, thinking about the past, and wondering about the future.
He recalled the fateful event that had led to him being a first-string player and had changed his life.
-Flashback-
"Let's stay back for extra practice today!"
"Hmm? Sure! I need the extra stamina anyway."
"Okay, let's go practice in the fourth court. The first three courts are usually crowded, from what I've heard."
"No, don't go for practice there! There's a ghost in the fourth court!"
"What? Seriously?"
"Yeah, there's always the sound of a basketball bouncing, but no one's ever inside!"
"Whoa! Let's go to the third court then."
The tall ace frowned.
"Hey, Satsuki…" He started.
"Hmm? What is it, Dai-chan?" The manager of Teiko answered.
"What's with the talk about there being a ghost in the fourth court?"
"Huh? That?" The manager laughed nervously.
The pink-haired female tried to change the topic, but she knew that she couldn't evade it. She let out a sigh, and began.
"Uhm… well, it seems that there was always the sound of a basketball bouncing in the fourth court, but when players went in, they didn't see anyone…. It was the same for everyone, they don't see anyone else in there, and yet the sound of the bouncing of a basketball was still there. But it always happened after initial basketball practice, though..." The pink-haired manager recalled.
She was met with silence.
"Dai-chan?"
"I want to go practice."
"Well, that's good!" The pink-haired female said, smiling.
"… In the fourth court." The ace said, smiling darkly.
"Dai-chan! You're not serious, are you?! You can't! There's a-" The female gave an ear-splitting cry, before being cut short by Teiko's ace.
"Ahh, shut up, Satsuki. Do you want to follow, or not?" The ace demanded.
"…." The pink-haired female pouted, and kept quiet.
Silence was met with silence, as Teiko's ace walked to the fourth court.
"Ah, I get it, I get it! I'm following." Came the pouting voice of the manager.
"Are you sure? There might be ghosts, you know. I don't want to be jumped at when someone shouts." The ace teased.
"Ahomine! You'd better not jump on me after screaming!" Came the expected reply.
"Don't call me Ahomine! Sheesh... Women are so troublesome sometimes.." The ace lazily replied.
"What did you say? A-HO-MI-NE~!" The manager shouted.
"Look, we're here."
In a flash, the pink-haired female was hiding behind Teiko's ace.
'Huh, not scared, my ass.' The ace thought to himself, rolling his eyes.
In the end, Aomine got to know Kuroko, and they practiced together every day, after the normal practice hours.
That particular day was like any normal day. After practice, the teal-haired boy and the tall ace went for extra practice together, in the fourth court. That was when Kuroko met Akashi. The redhead stood outside the court, observing Kuroko and Aomine practice.
They had both stopped, aware of the presence of another person.
Aomine turned to the door and there stood Akashi, the captain of the basketball team.
"Oi, Akashi! Come on in!"
"Is that an order, Daiki?" Came the calm and commanding voice of the redhead, coupled with a signature smirk.
"Hu-uh? No! Of course not!" The ace exclaimed, sweatdropping.
The redhead kept his eyes trained on the light-haired boy standing near to Teiko's ace.
Aomine noticed his captain's gaze, and after a short while, the gaze was trained on him, with a questioning look.
The tall ace remained oblivious to the fact that the captain was asking him to introduce his partner.
"And you are?" Said captain asked, looking straight at Kuroko.
Kuroko was startled. He had thought that the red-haired man was looking behind him, but it seemed that the redhead was looking at him. Not looking right through him.
"Um.. I'm Kuroko Tetsuya. Nice to meet you." Came the polite answer.
"Hn. Akashi Seijuurou."
That was how they'd met, and –one could say- feelings started being sowed.
-End of flashback-
Kuroko sighed. He unconsciously touched his lips. He could still remember the feeling of the redhead's lips on his own. The warm lips pressed against his, the taste of the redhead's mouth, the feeling of a warm chest pressed against his, strong arms encircling him, including sparks ricocheting up his spine.
He felt his cheeks heating up, and he buried his head into his pillow.
'This is embarrassing… I'm thinking of a guy, and I'm blushing.' He thought to himself.
The teal-haired teen turned around to face the ceiling. He imagined Akashi-kun being in his room this instant.
"Aka-chin.." A certain purple haired-giant called out.
"What is it, Atsushi? You don't need to shout, I'm right under your head." Came the confident tone.
The two were now sitting together, helping each other do warm ups. Usually, a certain teal-haired player would accompany the red-haired captain, while a certain ace would complain about shadows being snatched away and stray chips falling into hair. It usually ended up with the said ace grumbling about overly-loud models or overly-superstitious shooters, and bickering would start. It also usually ended with smiling captains tripling menus.
That was the usual routine of Generation of Miracles, but Teiko's shadow was not present, and so a different routine was followed.
"Aka-chin, do you like Kuro-chin?"
A/N: Whoop, finally done This chapter took me quite some time to grasp hold of... So, what're your thoughts? Is the storyline being shaky? (It somehow feels shaky to me :o) Anything here clashes with what I wrote for the last chapter? :o I need readers' point of views, so don't be shy to leave a review :)
Extra A/N (xD Lol): Remind me if you see any spelling or grammatical mistakes, and, constructive criticism is highly appreciated :)
I'm taking votes :) There'll be one extra pairing in this fanfic, but either Kuroko or Akashi has to be present (Not a side pairing, but something like a love rival) I have no idea what pairing it should be, so PM me/ leave a review, or find some other way to tell me what pairing you'd prefer,'kay? The pair with the most popular demand will make it :) I think the voting thing will go on until chapter 5, and the winning pair would most probably be shown in chapter 6 :)
