Normal 's POV :

Akashi wakes up in the morning with a heavy feeling and a bad mood.

After hear what Jikan told him , about that Kuroko may fall in love with the others , he feels quite hurt but just doesn't show it out.

" Urgh.. "

' What if Tetsuya doesn't like me anymore but someone else?

What if Tetsuya falls for another person?

What if that really happened?

No , That won't happen..

But..

If Tetsuya is happy then..

Maybe I will let him go.. '

He sighs and gets out from his king-sized bed then gets to his huge bathroom.

He takes a quick bath and goes to work , without breakfast because he doesn't have an appetite. In his way to work , he passed Kuroko 's work place and sees Kuroko is smiling to a customer.

' if you know the truth..

No.. If you learn to know the truth and don't believe in it..

And think that I'm crazy.. What should I really do?

You'll leave me for the second time when that happened , ' Mom '. '

" Akashi - sama , we're here. " The driver said , snaps Akashi out of his thinking.

Akashi murmurs a thanks which is quiet unusual and leaves the car. He walks in the big building and press the elevator " ⇑ " button.

Ding!

He gets in to the elevator and goes up to where his office is , the 20th floor.

" good morning , Akashi - sama. " all the workers there greeted him. He only hums in return and walks to his office quickly without wanting to interact with anyone.

He rests his head on his arms as he puts his arms on his work 's table.

After minutes , a knock is heard.

" Come in.. " He answered and gets straight up , leaning in his office 's chair.

" Akashi. " a man called after opening the door.

" Shintarō... What do you need? "

" I need nothing.. But , you are on a badmood , true? " he replied sharply and pushes his glasses up.

" .. I have nothing to deny.. " Akashi said and sighs.

" So , mind to tell me what happened? You can't work in this kind of conditions. " His former friend from junior highschool which is also his bestfriend asked.

" He's back.. But , it's complicated. "

" who? Him? " Midorima asked in confusion.

Yes , for all of your informations , Midorima knows Akashi 's life story. Akashi trusted him enough to tell him and no one knows except both of them and Jikan himself. For Kuroko , He forgets everything.

" Yes , Him. " Akashi replied and smiles sadly.

" .. I don't know why you seemed sad while he's back. I thought you must be really happy to have him back instead of sitting here and almost cry your heart out. " Midorima spilled his mind out straight forwardly.

" I'm not crying. " Akashi denied.

" You are on the edge of it. " Midorima fought him back.

" I'm your boss here , respect me. No one defies me. " Akashi replied.

" I defy you as your friend and not one of your workers , Akashi. " Midorima answered and only to piss Akashi more.

" Tsk. "

" Admit it , you are on the edge of crying. "

" no , am not. "

" yes , you are. "

" no , am not. "

" yes , you are. "

" am not. "

" you are. "

" am not. "

" yeah , are not. "

" I am. " Akashi replied without thinking and only to regret it slipped out from his mouth.

" see? "

" Okay.. fine. So , what do you wish to say? " Akashi asked in pissed tone.

" Explain things to me and i'll try to help. "

Akashi sighs and asks Midorima to sit down before he starts explaining everything. Yes , Basically , EVERYTHING.

" Get him back. " Midorima said as Akashi finished.

" It's not easy. "

" Akashi , I'm amazed that you can have such a story in your life. If you have a chance to grab him then why not? He doesn't even say that he reject you nor accept you. But , if you think it back , he has accepted you in his life back. Yes , you may have not confessed to him everything. You are waiting for the right time to tell him everything. You are confused too whether you should tell him or not but , the real problem here is you. " Midorima told Akashi.

Akashi thinks for a while before answering.

" I don't get why the real problem here is me while he's the one to forget everything. " Akashi sighs.

" As you can see by yourself , He is amnesia. He has no memories about his real past. He has new memories but , none of them are real. You tell me that yourself , right? " Akashi only nods in respond as he remembers what Jikan told him last night.

" But , he remembers your name. Akashi Seijūrō. It means , his memories are not all cleaned , Akashi. He still remembers you in a part his mind and heart. [ A/N : I vomit while typing this.. :P #Kidding. ] He , himself , probably searching for you too. He probably knows your name since the very first time. Then , can a person ignore who-the-hell-is-actually-that-person-why-is-his-name-on-my-mind type of question from himself? The answer is no , Akashi. He must have been searching for you too but forget it due to his works , like particular someone. So , in my opinion , if you try a bit harder , you may win him back. And , you can cry to me when that doesn't happen. If that success , you may thank me. " Midorima said and pushes his glasses up.

" Shintarō , I know you're smart , not smarter than me though but , for your information , you sound really professional in love things and I'll not cry to you when he rejects me. " Akashi glares at him slightly.

Midorima smiles a bit at the Emperor childishness.

" I know things because I experienced things , Akashi. And , don't worry , I'll hear you out while you crying and I'll not tell anyone about you crying. " Midorima teased while smirking.
Akashi glares at him again and sighs.

" Shut up , Shintarō. I know you experienced things with your oh-so-loveable-like-Kise boyfriend and now , shush. I have works and you too. Better not be fucking your assistant on your office! " Akashi smirks and Midorima flushes while glaring at Akashi then walks out from the office , not forgetting to slam the door closes a bit harshly.

' I wish I have a normal one though..

Like Shintarō and Kazunari, Atsushi and Tatsuya..

I wish I can just fall in love in highschool and continue working together or maybe living together with your lover until now , surrounding with happiness..

But ,

It won't happen..

Because my story is different..

My story is more different than all of them.. '

Akashi sighs and wipes all of his thoughts off and concentrates to do his works.

~Time Skip~
~Works' Time is pass~

Kuroko's PoV:

After the last customer left , I start to clean up all the mess and tidy up all the books.

As I tidy up , I smile alone , remembering the time when Akashi - kun helped with all my works while teasing me.

' Oops.. I think of him again..

What have gotten into me..?

Why do I keep on thinking of him..? '

I shook my head while trying to clean all my thoughts of Akashi - kun.

Thinking of the devil [A/N : Thinking of the Emperor ;) /slap by Kuroko ] , he hasn't been around here for today.. I feel a pang of emptiness in my heart but decide to ignore it.

' It's not my problem that he doesn't come.. He's busy himself.. Why am I keep thinking of him again? '

I shook my head and pack my things up. I feel my sight is blur and a familiar voice reaches my ears.

Normal's PoV:

" Kuroko - kun? Daijōbu? [ are you okay? ] "

Kuroko smiles and looks at him.

" Daijōbu desu [ I'm fine ] , Tanaka - san. "

The older man looks at the younger in worried since the younger 's eyes have tears.

" What's wrong..? "

" Nothing's wrong.. I'm just a bit tired and sleepy. " Kuroko smiles and wipes it off.

" if you'll excuse me.. " Kuroko said as he walks out from the bookshop , dragging his feet back to home.

He sighs and touches his cheek while he finally reaches home. He locks his door and slides down on his door weakly while crying.

" are..? [Eh..?] Why am I crying? " Kuroko whispered to himself.

Because you're getting use to Akashi 's presence.

" No.. That's not true.. That's not why I am like this.. " he argues with his own heart voice.

He seems familiar and you , yourself , are selfish for the first time because you want his attentions. Even when you both were separated for 2 weeks back then , you missed him so much that it hurt , didn't it?

" No... no..! It's not true! Stop.. " Kuroko sobs.

In another side , Akashi is still in his office working himself out when he feels a pang of sadness in his heart.

' Why does it hurts..? '

Akashi touches right at where his heart is.

Tetsuya.

It suddenly passes Akashi 's mind.

He quickly tidy up his stuffs and walks out from his office , not forgetting to lock it afterwards.

" Akashi - sama , is everything okay? "

" Can you please take me to the usual place? " Akashi asked Kaoru.

Kaoru widens his eyes for a while when Akashi asks politely but nods.

They arrive there and Akashi rushes in.

" Oh , young boy.. " An old familiar man called Akashi.

" You are.. Tanaka - san , if I'm not wrong? "

" Yes , I'm Tanaka. If you're searching for Kuroko - kun then , he has gone home.. But , I think something happened because he was on the edge of crying just now. " Tanaka explained , remembering just now.

Akashi nods and thanks him.

Akashi quickly rushes off after saying goodbye.
