Kuroko no basket: sweeter than marshmallows

-30-

The school is the same as it's always been, the cold grey walls and everyone wearing the same clothes. I can't wait to get out of here, but I have to be patient. I still have to finish my second and third year.

My violin case feels heavy on my back and a deep sigh leaves my lips when I finally put it on the ground in the music room. I have been practicing seven hours a day since two weeks, I got bored and decided to start playing again. But I can't stop again this time, I have to practice to get back on my own level.

The hours pass but the burning in my arms and fingers don't. It feels like my whole body was lit on fire hours ago. But it's not enough to make me stop.

Someone scrapes their throat loudly, making me look around and see Akashi standing in the doorway.

"Akashi-kun" I put my violin in it's case and close it "what are you doing here?"

"I came to check on you" he hands me my coat "and to take you to dinner. You look like you haven't eaten in days."

I take my coat and put it on. He has a point there "fine.. But I won't change and we'll have dinner somewhere fancy." I grab my violin case and walk passed him trough the doorway.

Akashi rolls his eyes "whatever you want ma'am." He says with a extremely polite voice.

Is this Akashi's humour? A small chuckle leaves my lips.

Dinner with Akashi was a good idea, we became good friends at the end of the evening and we've been together ever since. We have lunch together, we go to practice together, he even comes over to my apartment after school and just sits there reading his book.

"Runi" Akashi pulls on my arm, making me miss the wall I was about to walk in to. "Watch where you are going." He sighs.

"I can't." I say, staring at the sheet music in my hands "I have to finish this today."

"You've been pushing yourself too much lately." He stays silent for a couple moments "I'm calling Ryouta."

The words register a little too late, he already has his phone against his ear by the time I turn my head. Heh.. How did we get here? We were at the library a second ago.

He hands me his phone and I put it against my ear.

"Runicchi are you pushing yourself too much again?" His voice sounds trough the phone and I keep silent.

It's hard for me not to say everything I think to him, it's a curse.

He sighs "Runi.. Why don't you come to Tokyo this weekend? We can all go and do something fun together. Ask Akashicchi to come as well."

"Yeah.. That sounds fun." A sigh leaves my lips "I'm sorry for making you worry.."

Kise laughs "it's okay Runicchi, that's why we are best friends! I'll send Akashicchi the information okay? I'll see you this weekend!" And he ends the phone call.

"And?" Akashi asks when I hand him his phone.

"We are going to Tokyo this weekend"
