A/N: Yeeeaaahhh, I'm typing this chapter using my tablet, which is like 1/4 of my laptop's size, and clearly used as touch-screen, which makes stuff like typing out a 3,000-4,000 word long chapter, a lot harder.

Hahaha, but if it's for my dear readers, I'd do anything just to please you guys. Weeelll, lemme answer some of my reviewers questions first:

No, this is not an incest. It's like they were mistaken as twins when they were young, but after realizing that it was a big error, Kuroko, the Akashi's not-true son, was sent to be taken care by other people. You'll learn more about this angst-y part as more chapters pass on. xD

Next, yes, I am indeed a sadist, well, only for my OTPs though.

Yes, angst, because why not? Hahahaha

Last, let me give you a secret of mine: I'm gonna make a twincest soon. Yes, AkaKuro Twincest with super twists. Oh, like, you know, drama, hurt, angst oooh, things like those.

Sooory for rumbling! Please, Please, Please Leave A REVIEW!

Enjoy the angstsssss,

"Yesterday, Today, Forever"

Chapter Two:

What was I supposed to do now? This thought somehow made Akashi panic as he continued driving his own car towards their residence. The Akashi Residence- this thought brought a loud thump on the red-head's chest.

They were currently heading towards Kuroko's former residence, where so many memories of the two of them lingered all around. Kuroko's former house, where everything ended.

The Emperor resumed driving, as he watched the teal-head playing with his wristband. He twirled it around his wrist before muttering the words, "Ogiwara-kun..." continuously for about five minutes.

The red-head let it pass for few more minutes, but his heart crashed when he unconsciously saw the emotion in the phantom player's eyes, which was...sadness.

He gulped, and pulled over few meters away from the Akashi Manor. He stopped the engine, and the car was filled with an uncomfortable silence.

"Tetsuya," He called out as Kuroko avoided his gaze. "Tetsuya, I'm talking to you. Face me." He commanded.

After several moments, he clasped his mouth in guilt. He wasn't supposed to snap. He wasn't even supposed to be bossy when he knew fully well that Kuroko was just forces to come with him, and could walk out anytime he wanted.

Finally, the teal-head spoke, "...Do you remember how it felt like when we used to walk down this path hands to hands?" He murmured as he leaned on the window.

His eyes widened. "So you still remember." He murmured, and was about to reach for Kuroko when he stopped mid-way. For the very first time, he was afraid of doing the first move. "We were so innocent back then." He agreed, and pulled away.

Kuroko nodded. "Indeed, we were. Pleading we wouldn't get separated, and always being together. How childish."

Akashi wanted to ask where this discussion came from, but he didn't want the other to stop talking. "You were always so invisible that when we play hide-and-seek, you're so hard to find." He smiled bitterly with the memory. "But I always found you."

Silence enveloped the two of them.

"You didn't. You were able to find me until we were seven. Then, that was when you didn't even bother searching." Kuroko corrected.

He wanted to have something to counter, but got nothing. Instead, he ran his hands on his face in frustration. "Tetsuya, take it back." He hissed as he glared on nothing in front of him.

"Pardon, take what back?" Kuroko murmured.

Akashi didn't like how polite and formal Kuroko was to him. Once the teal-head was polite to you, you're quite still far from being close enough.

"Take back the thing you said about hating me." He murmured in desperation.

The phantom player blinked, and shook his head. "I cannot. I do not wish to lie to you, Akashi-kun. I do hate you."

Akashi bit his bottom lip. "If...If I tried to stop Mother and Father from taking you away, or if I tried to search for you...would you second-mind on hating me? Tell me, would things be different?"

"Sorry, Akashi-kun, I don't settle with 'if's' so I cannot answer." Kuroko whispered.

He made a frustrated glare at the ceiling, and then mildly banged his forehead on the steering wheel. "Believe me, I wanted to look for you."

"But you didn't."

"Because I couldn't...!" The red-head trailed off.

"You were still afraid of disappointing your mother and father back then, I understand." The teal-head filled in. He turned, and Akashi wanted to pull his hair as he saw the tears that almost spilled from Kuroko's eyes. "Akashi-kun...was I a bad twin years ago?"

Eyes widening, he shook his head. "Tetsuya, I couldn't ask for a better twin!" He gasped, and when he realized his reasoning was no use, he gritted his teeth, and took hold of Kuroko's ever warm hands. "If I could go back in time, promise we won't say goodbye. If If I could take it all back, I would want you by my side. I never really moved on..." Akashi murmured as he squeezed the forever familiar hands between his.

It was as if his heart was torn when Kuroko pulled his hands away. "But I did." He mumbled as he stared at his lap. "I learned to accept that there was actually no forever." He mumbled, and opened the passenger's seat door. "Do tell me, Akashi-kun..."

Forcing a facade of composure, he murmured a calm, "Yes?'

"Can we settle terms on the time I stay under the Akashi's care?" The teal-head asked.

Even if he wanted to refuse, he couldn't. "I assume you have some suggestion in mind?" He mumbled as he went down the car, and began taking out Kuroko's luggage.

The teal-head stood beside him, and helped him. "I do." Kuroko agreed. "First, I won't address you as 'Sei-kun.' Second, I don't want to talk about our past to anyone else. Third, we will sleep on different bedrooms. Fourth, I don't want to be addressed as 'Young Master' again by your servants. Fifth-"

He sighed. "There's more?"

"I want..." The phantom player trailed off.

And Akashi turned. "You want what?"

"I want you to play one-on-one with me on our spare time..." It came out, and was barely loud enough to be heard. It was a good thing their mansion was in the middle of nowhere.

The red-head smiled. "I'll also tutor you when I can." He agreed. "I abide upon your terms. I presume that's all." He stated as they walked towards the mansion. Kuroko following right beside him. "May I suggest my own conditions, then?"

Kuroko gasped internally. "Do spare me from death."

Akashi narrowed his eyes. "I'm not a devil, if I may remind you." He rang the doorbell. After awhile, the servants let them in with no question. As they walked inside the huge mansion, the red-head continued, "First, I'll still call you 'Tetsuya.' Second, your bedroom will be right beside me, and there'll be connecting door between the wall. Third, I'll pick you up from school everyday, and bring you to school everyday. Fourth, you'll greet me with either 'Welcome Home' or 'I'm home' daily depending on the situation. Fifth-"

"I feel so suffocated right now. You're even worse than Mom." Kuroko grumbled.

The red-head chuckled. "Perks of being under the Akashi's, Tetsuya."

The phantom player sighed as they went inside Kuroko's current bedroom. "Humor me on the fifth term, Akashi-kun."

Akashi turned towards the servants. "We'll be fine now. You may call us when dinner's served."

Locking the door behind him, the Emperor strode towards Kuroko before cupping his cheeks. "Fifth term is this..." He then embraced Kuroko tightly. "I get to recharge by either hugging or kissing you."

"Wait...what?" Kuroko gasped as realization hit him.

With a smirk, he stood up. "Any complaints, Tetsuya?"

"I...I..want to add my last condition!"

Akashi gulped with the sudden bad feeling he had. "...Pray tell me."

"No one messes with each other's private business." Kuroko stated.

And that stiffened the red-head. I wonder if I can do that.

"I agree with your last condition." He mumbled before walking towards the door of thèir joint room. "If I may, I shall change now. I'll see you for dinner." He mumbled.

Before he could close the door, he was brought to a sudden stop when Kuroko shouted, "Akashi-kun!"

He peered in. "Yes, Tetsuya?"

Kuroko looked up. "Thank you for taking me in."

Akashi's chest went badump! But he composed himself. "It's not a problem." He was about to truly go out when Kuroko, again, yelled,
"Akashi-kun!"

He sighed, and turned. "Tetsuya, what is-"

He trailed off when Kuroko gave him the smile he gave the former when they were still kids. "I'm home."

With uncharacteristically reddening cheeks, Akashi nodded. "I'm home too. Welcome home."

With that, he went inside his own room, shut the door, and threw himself on his bed before murdering the pillow in a little hint of happiness in his heart.

Where he got the scissors to take out his happiness on the pillows, I got no idea.

RIP Pillows of Akashi Seijuuro.

~LFMH021~

Fidgeting, Kuroko self-consciously walked right behind Akashi as they made way towards the dining area. It seemed that Akashi's father was in, which made him more cautious. The way the servants, who knew him even before he left, didn't make anything better.

"They're not gonna eat you." Akashi reminded. "Or maybe they can. I actually don't know how my father's mind work. We are quite different."

He glared at the red-head. "Thanks a lot, Akashi-kun. Really."

"Was that sarcasm, Tetsuya? I'm amazed." The Emperor teased. The latter wasn't expecting a playful smack on his arm. "Violence? Seriously, Tetsuya?"

"I can also do hand-chops."

They entered the dining room.

Akashi smirked. "That's not something to be so proud of, Tetsu-"

"Sei, who are you talking to?" Was Akashi Jirou, Akashi's father, greeting as they entered. "Don't talk to yourself, it's quite disturbing."

"I'm not talking to myself, Father. Tetsuya's with me, he's going to live with us for half a year as requested by his mother." Akashi explained, and pointed Kuroko.

After quite a long time, Kuroko enjoyed his misdirection upon seeing the surprised expression Akashi Jirou showed briefly. "I am sorry for intruding, Mr. Akashi."

The older red- head's eyes widened. "It has indeed been awhile. I shall agree to your mother's request of staying here as long as you don't sneak up on me when I'm unaware of your presence, Tet-Kuroko. I might die sooner." Jirou murmured.

Kuroko could almost hear Akashi's mind: Please do.

But he did his best to hold his laughter. "Yes, I'll do my best."

Akashi Jirou nodded, "Oh, and you can call me Fa-Uncle. It's fine with me. Now, sit down. The food's getting cold."

Kuroko looked at Akashi, and the latter just smirked before dragging him towards the seat beside him.

As they ate in silence, a sudden topic was brought up. "Sei, it seems there's someone targeting anyone under our family. Your Uncle Ryou must have something to annoy his company's client again. Do be careful."

"Yes, Father."

The teal-head blinked, and unconsciously casted a glance on Akashi.

The latter seemed to have noticed the former's gaze. The red-head turned, and patted Kuroko's head. "I'll be fine. I took self-defense lessons before."
Kuroko looked away. "I wasn't worried."

"Oh? Since when did Shintarou passed his tsundere tendecies to you?"

"Since we entered High School."

And all the servants, along with Akashi Jirou, gasped as the smaller red-head chuckled with the latter's reply.

~LFMH021~

Aomine hissed, crumpled the paper, and threw it over his shoulder. "Uggghhh!"

Momoi approached him, and mumbled, "Dai-chan, what are you doing on our self-study? Paper airplane?"

The bluenet furiously shook his head. "I'm trying to write!"

"Write what?"

Aomine grunted, and covered his face with his palms. "I cannot seem to completely show Kise my feelings, so I am trying to write it down...but it's so damn difficult!"

Momoi giggled, and sat beside her childhood friend. "Never thought I'd see you this frustrated over love. But, Dai-chan...you're trying so hard to sound formal, your letter's turning emotionless..."

"What do you mean?"

The pink-head smiled. "Ki-chan's a simpleton. He easily smiles, and easily cries. You need to be careful not to hurt him, but also be true to you. Ki-chan...well, Ki-chan admires you, but Dai-chan, even if he does, he can't wait forever. He might find someone else. So is a letter really enough?"

Aomine sighed, and made an amused smile. "You really are a girl." He mumbled, and looked at his phone. A smile crept out as he saw a smiling blond as his wallpaper.

True, would a letter be enough?

Aomine was unaware that on the background, Momoi was watching intently with a very forced smile.

~ LFMH021~

Kise gasped when he received a smack on his head. "That hurts-Eh, Kasamtsu-senpai? I thought ypu're preparing for your exams?"

"I just wanted to make sure our ace wasn't slacking off, but then I saw you here outside resting while-Kise, are you alright?"

"Senpai, how can you forget someone you once admired?" Was Kise's sobbing reply as he stared on the ground.

Kasamatsu was about to reach for the blond when he stopped himself. "It's Too's Aomine Daiki, isn't it?"

Kise forced a laugh despite his obvious sobs. "...Yeah, ssu. Was I obvious?"

"No, you weren't. I was just observing you since we hung out a lot before, and...the way you looked at him...that's certainly not just admiration. You were in love with him."

The copycat hiccuped. "...Uwaaahhh...Senpai...I...I-"

The dark-head lightly punched Kise's arm. "I want to ask you something first before I tell you tips how to forget someone." He mumbled, and ignored his protesting heart. No, you're not in love with Kise. You're not. Be a good senpai.

"Tell me, Kise, have you even tried?" He mumbled. "Have you even tried to tell or show him how you really feel? Or are you just avoiding, and doing your best to look fine?"

Kise pursed his lips, and tried to stifle his cries. "But...but, ssu..."

"That's the problem, Kise. You are so afraid of rejection. You are afraid of being hurt again. You are afraid of being left behind again, you didn't even try a single move. Until you tell him your feelings, and he replies, my lips are sealed." Kasamatsu stood up, and uncharacteristically ruffled Kise's hair. "Don't be a coward, idiot!" He yelled, and walked out.

His heart thumped as the blond shouted with a very cheerful voice, "T-Thanks, Kasamatsu-senpai!" As he turned around, he found the blond putting a photo of Aomine back in his pocket. The dark-head turned, and pretended his heart didn't just crash.

~LFMH021~

Midorima was removing and putting the tape back around his left hand for about five minutes now when he was taken aback. He turned when a hand wrapped around his shoulder. He looked away when he realized it was Takao. "What are you doing, nanodayo? Practice's starting soon, stop fooling around."

Takao pouted. "Why so uptight?" He grumbled as Midorima pulled away.

The green-head huffed. "I just have no time for your ridicule. I'm going to ask Miyaji-senpai if I can start practicing on my own now."

With that, he ran towards the container of the balls, which was right beside Miyaji. "May I start practicing on my own now?"

The blond nodded. "...Takao's not with you? Oh, he's talking to the first-years. It's rare to see you two separated." He commented with a laugh. His laughter, though, subdued with Midorima's emotionless expression. "Did you fight?"

Midorima shook his head, and made a three-pointer. "He might be my partner in the court, but we're not on the same level. He's too friendly while I'm too serious. A friendship that would never work, nanodayo. It will never work out, nanodayo..."

With that, Miyaji watched as Midorima continued practicing with such unreadable, and dark eyes.

The blond's eyes narrowed. ...This is not Midorima at all.

~LFMH021~

Takao laughed with the new recruit before glancing at Midorima's direction again.

"Did you two have a fight?" Their coach asked.

He blinked, and laughed. "Naaahhh. He's just, you know, having his period again."

"Wait, what?"

Takao forced a chuckle. "He's just in his period of 'aloneness' again. He used to do this before..."

"But he turned even colder now?" Their coach guessed.

He gulped, amd nodded sadly. "It's as if he suddenly wanted to play by himself again. Like I was an outsider. Like he built a wall around himself again, and I couldn't seem to break in anymore..." He tried not to tear up as he realized that the centimeters that separated them before turned into miles again. "Why is Shin-chan so cruel?"

As the others began to practice, Shuutuko's coach sighed, and replied, "Didn't you realize, Takao? You didn't break his walls before, he let you in. But this time, he was slowly closing that barrier. It seems to me that he's actually just letting some time pass if ever someone finds the way in."
With that, Takao was left in tears as he watched the way Midorima made a shot. His tears spilled when the green-head's shot missed, and the latter slumped in both frustration and loneliness.

Let me in. Shin-chan, don't close that barrier yet. Let me in.

~LFMH021~

Murasakibara waited outside the gates as he munched the pocky between his lips. He looked over his shoulder, and wondered what happened with his partner, but then he looked back in front again.

What Muro-chin does is none of my business.

What if he gets a girlfriend? His heart demanded.

And so he does. I don't care. His mind stubbornly replied.

Don't lie. I know the truth. You care. And you don't want to be left alone again. You want him by yourself, that's why you look so outbeat when he receives new confession everyday. His heart countered.

Shut up. So what if I'm lying? So what if I got attached to him? It'll never work out. I'll always 'just' be his partner.His mind growled.

And that was when he really did shut up. He, again, looked over his shoulder, and upon realizing he was too idiotic to stay behind even if Himuro didn't tell him to do so, he turned and began walking towards the direction back to his house.

His heart silently hoping Himuro would arrive, and call his name.

But he realized that he was stupid to wish for such thing.

~LFMH021~

"I...I like you, Himuro-san!" The girl in front of him gasped. He didn't have a clue what year or class she belonged. Unawarely, he had followed her lead when she told him she needed to say something right after they were dismissed from practice. "You're very good-looking. So kind. Such a gentleman. You're so ideal, I couldn't look away when I first saw you."

He blinked, and smiled apologetically. "I...I don't think I can reciprocate your feelings. I'm sorry, but currently, I am...in...in love with someone, and...I can't bear to give you false hopes. I'm sorry..." He murmured.

She sniffed, and nodded. "I...I understand...I do hope the best wishes for you two...Thank you for rejecting me kindly..." She whispered, bowed, and ran back.

He sighed h, and walked towards the gates. He peeked, and gasped upon seeing...

No one.

Murasakibara has gone ahead of him. He frowned, and began walking towards his looked up, amd gritted his teeth. "It'll never be enough..." He grunted.

He ran his hands on his face. "Why...Why can I reject people so easily, and tell them I'm in love with someone when in fact, I haven't even tried making a move..."

You're afraid, Tatsuya. You're afraid of his rejection.

He looked in front of him, and frowned upon realizing how much he actually missed the violet-head titan, who always made him smile.

He was, honestly, in love with a certain Murasakibara Atsushi.

This, the latter, would never seem to know.

~LFMH021~

Kuroko gasped when he was suddenly woken up by a very noisy alarm clock by the room beside his. He blinked when he realized Akashi was opening the door of their joint room. "Tokyo's hours from here. Do prepare now, Tetsuya." Was Akashi's greeting.

He rubbed his eyes, and stifled his laughter upon seeing Akashi's bed hair. "I must admit, Akashi-kun, that your bedhair could actually hold eggs in them. What a nest."

Akashi approached him, and pinched his cheeks. "Said the guy who looks like he can go super saiyan anytime now. " He grunted, and pointed the bathroom inside the teal-head's room. "Go take a shower now while I, too, fix our beds, and myself. Breakfast'll be ready after half an hour. Be ready then."

After eating breakfast together, Akashi insisted on taking him to Seirin using his own car. They were arguing outside until Akashi Jirou appeared with disheveled look, "Quiet down, you two. You never change. Kuroko, just get in, Sei won't stop until you agree. Sei, don't be cheeky early in the morning."
And the silent trip began. Both blinked when the red-head's phone rang. He turned it to loudspeaker. "Akashi speaking."

"Goooooddd morning, captain!" Was Rakuzan's Hayama, Reo and Nebuya's loud greeting.

"Good morning to you three, as well. Now, quiet down. I almost killed a cat on the road." Akashi grunted, "Where's Mayuzumi?"

"I'm here, I just arrived, don't be so strict. It's still early, anyway." Was Mayuzumi's reply. "We're hanging up now." He added, and the other line turned silent.

Akashi smirked. "That guy sure is courageous."

Kuroko casted the other a glance before commenting, "You seem to be fond of them."

"I believe I have the right to do so, after all, I'm no longer the MiraGen's captain. I'm not obliged to only be fond of you guys. No dealing of each other's businesses, correct, Tetsuya?"

"Yes, I'll shut up." Kuroko murmured, and settled on staring on the road.

"Sorry, did I sound too harsh?" Akashi murmured after awhile.

"It's alright. I'm used to the sting." Kuroko responded with emotionless eyes,

Akashi took a deep breath. "'It's better to be the one getting hurt...'" He trailed off.

"'Instead of being the one hurting other.'" Kuroko finished.

With that, after almost an hour or so, Akashi pulled over. "...Be careful. I'll pick you later."

Kuroko grabbed his bag. "I'm going."

Akashi frowned when Kagami approached Kuroko, amd wrapped an arm around him. The teal-head smiled, and nodded. That was when Seirin's ace grinned, and messed the phantom player's head.

They looked so happy, Akashi's heart clenched in his chest.

~LFMH021~

Kuroko and Kagami were in cleaning duty for the gymnasium after practice, and they were both left alone, and were now just sweeping the floor.
"How was living with Akashi? Too strict?" Kagami guessed.

He slightly smiled. "You could say that. But I actually enjoy his company. His remarks could actually be humorous if you try to read between the lines."
"You sound happy." Kagami commented.

He gulped, and shook his head. "It's just nice to learn other kinda of humor." He lied.

The taller red-head grabbed his broom, and they stared at each other. "He's special to you." The latter stated.

And his eyes widened. He wanted to deny it, but his heart was stopping him.

He was opening his mouth when there were knocks on the door, they turned, and Kuroko stiffened upon seeing Akashi on the door.
"Tetsuya, let's go." Akashi called out.

"I'm coming." Kuroko then grabbed his bag. "I'm going, Kagami-kun. I'll see you tomo-"

Kuroko raised his eyes when Kagami took one of his hands, and then lifted it to kiss the former's wrist. "Kagami-kun?"

The red-head kissed Kuroko's wrist before planting a kiss on his partner's forehead. "I love you, Kuroko. Yesterday, today and forever. Will you go out with me?" He asked before embracing the teal-head.

Kuroko unconsciously looked at Akashi.

Akashi huffed with a smirk. "Don't worry, Tetsuya. I don't care. What you do with your life is none of my business anymore."

And with that, Kuroko's healing heart cracked into pieces yet again.

Kagami released his hand. "I'll give you time to think about it, Do know I am serious. And I care, more than anyone. More than a certain bastard named Akashi Seijuuro."

Akashi was about to retort when Kuroko grabbed his bag, and ran out of the gym. His tears slowly betraying him. He gritted his teeth, and tried hard not to sob. He wanted to run away, but Akashi's car blocked his way. "I want to go home alone." He grunted.

"Don't be ridiculous. Get in."

"Akashi-kun-"

"Tetsuya, get inside or I'll force you to." Akashi snapped.

As calmly as he could, Kuroko went in the passenger's seat, and bit his lips so that he wouldn't cry as Akashi began the engine. The car roared to life, and they started their ride back to Akashi's residence.

The red-head decided on being quiet when Kuroko began to talk with quivering voice. "If I had a time machine, I would go back when we were still kids, and do my best not to get close with you."

Akashi's heart thumped in pain. He ignored it.

"If I had a time machine, I would have stopped myself from listening to you when we met again in Teikou. I would have quit earlier." Kuroko mumbled.
Akashi tried to look calm as his hands tightened on the steering wheel.

"And if I had a time machine, I'd change the way we met. I would have preferred if we didn't meet at all. Because all this time, all you brought is pain. I've had enough, Akashi-kun. I've had enough of how less you really care. I'm..." Kuroko looked away, and tried not to sound so hopeless as he sniffed."I'm hurt enough...You've damaged me enough...Was the way you acted back when we were kids brought by our innocence? If I'm gone...If I'm gone, would you even care? What if part of me has vanished, would you even regret that you abandoned me? I bet you don't." He mumbled right after they parked in front of the mansion.

"Of course, I- Tetsuya, wait!" Akashi complained as Kuroko went down the passenger's seat.

He was about to open the driver's seat door when there was that loud noise. A loud bang! Bang!

His eyes widened as he looked at his right.

"If I'm gone, would you even care?"

Akashi's eyes widened as he saw how Kuroko's body slowly falling down on the road right after that loud noise. He quickly ran out of the door, and approached Kuroko's body. The teal-head's head and right leg were bleeding badly. His usually just pale skin turned dead cold.

The red-head looked around, and found no hint of where the culprit came from. He clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Sei, it seems there's someone targeting anyone under our family. Your Uncle Ryou must have something to annoy his company's client again. Do be careful."

"If I'm gone, would you even care?"

Tears streamed down Akashi's eyes.

"Tetsuya?" He whispered.

There was no reply. The Emperor could almost feel the teal-head's life slowly fading away.

"TETSUYA!" Akashi screamed as he held the teal-head's hand tightly with his own. Regretful tears trickling down like raindrops on his lap.

A/N: This one took me two frickin' days instead of just two hours because it's so hard to type with this tablet!

Urgh, and I bet, I made a lot of mistakes.

Heck, I feel like it was boring too. I am out of feels. Hahahaha

Uuuggghhhh, sorrry!

PLEASE DO STILL LEAVE REVIEWS! I'LL UPDATE THE OTHERS SOON ENOUGH!

SSSSNNNNEEEAAAKKK PPPEEEKKKK:

Akashi approached Kuroko's bed, and with trembling hands, caressed Kuroko's cheeks. The teal-head still soundlessly asleep.

Dr. Fuji Okuno knocked, and silently entered. His eyes portraying stress, and guilt. "I...I am sorry..."

He squeezed Kuroko's hand, and turned. "What do you mean? Do elaborate."

The phantom player squeezed back his hands. As Akashi turned back, Kuroko has opened his eyes. The latter smiled, and mouthed, Hello. Why do those teal orbs looked so sad...so lonely?

"...He's turned voiceless." Dr. Fuji murmured.

Silence...

"W-Wha-"

"Due to the shock the incident has caused. His brain nerves must have malfunctioned, and done some revision. I-It seems the shock has caused his voice to disappear. He's...Kuroko-kun is now voiceless. I-It seems no one will ever hear his voice again." The brunet doctor mumbled as he clenched his hands into fists. "I'm sorry..."

"What if part of me has vanished, would you even regret that you abandoned me?"
