Tainted Red (Akashi Seijuro X OC)

-Chapter 12-

Let us just pretend that it really is true. You'll know what I'm talking about if you read further.

     The pain, agony and sadness. It's back as though it never left. I stayed home crying. I didn't bother going to school.

 But this time, I don't want to be alone. I went to the hospital instead to visit an old friend.

   "Akiyo! What are you doing he- she immediately stopped when she say my face. She ran to me and hugged me. I hugged her back tightly.

"Come,take a seat. Tell me what has happened." She said as she let go of me and seated me on a chair.

"I don't know what to do anymore. Just when I feel like I'm finally recovering. Things just get worst." I said as I choked back my sobs. She rubbed my back.

  She was like a mother to me now. She knows everything that's been happening since I tell it to her.

"Oh dear, tell me what happened." She said as she handed me a glass of water.

"Thank you but I don't think I can tell you about it right now." I said. It's too painful. To think that our relationship has been like that from the start of everything.

"Ok. I understand. You can tell me when you're ready." She sympathetically smiled at me as she rubbed my back.

   I went home after that visit in the hospital. I hid myself under the comfort of my bed and cried myself to sleep.

   I woke up in the middle of the night when my stomach growled. I made my way to the kitchen to prepare myself some food.

   After eating, I couldn't bring myself to sleep so I decided to watch a movie instead.  

But I turned it off as soon as it started.

I couldn't hold it anymore. It's the middle of the night and I know he's asleep.

But I really need someone to talk to right now.

Because if I don't I might go insane. I went to my bed and called his number.

After a few seconds he finally picked it up.

"Eh? Akiyocchi? *yawn* Why did you call me?" it was obvious that he just woke up. I felt guilty for waking him up.

"Sorry Kise, but I couldn't sleep. Can you talk to me until I fall asleep? I'm really sorry." I said as I prevent myself from crying at how pathetic I sounded.

"It's ok. If Akiyocchi can't sleep then I'll make you fall asleep." He said and I can almost picture him smiling.

"Thank you, Kise-kun." I said.

"Yey! Akiyocchi finally used honorifics in my name!" he cheered. I smiled.

I don't really use honorifics even to my friends. I only do it to Kuroko-kun and my family, but they're dead.

" Do you want me to sing to you until you fall asleep?" he said.

"I've never heard you sing." I said.

"Well, what song do you want?" he asked. I thought about it. Then a song popped up in my head.

" Never say Never by The Fray." I said.

" Well ok." He said before clearing his throat. He started singing.

" Some things we don't about
