See You Again...

Memories...

         They say that the human brain can stay activated for seconds to hours even after death, remembering special moments. At first, I thought it was all fake... until I had this conversation with a certain friend of mine.

Kenma: Hey, Keiji. Do you believe that the human brain can last seconds even after death?

Keiji: I don't think so. To me, that just doesn't make sense. 

Kenma: Well... They say that the brain can last seconds to hours remembering special moments. I want to believe its true but... I don't know...

Keiji: Well if it is true, then your special moments must be with Kuroo.

Kenma: Stop teasing me!

Keiji: I'm simply stating what I think is a fact, ok? Besides, wouldn't that be great?

Kenma: Fine. You have a point. But I think its true because the human body does do some crazy and unexpected things.

Keiji: Like what?

Kenma: Think about it. We're the only species who evolved this much. We basically took over the world. Besides, wouldn't you also want it to be true?

Keiji: Kinda...

             Years passed after that. Here I am, lying on the hospital bed with my frail and old body. Most people would be scared of death. Me? I'm looking forward to it. Weird, I know. But I've waited long enough for this day to come. Just a little bit more, Kou. I'm almost there. I don't exactly know where "there" is, but who cares? It's finally time.

           I heard many cries. I kind of feel bad for leaving them, but there's nothing else I can do. So with the last strength I have, I said "D-Don't cry...". I heard the sound of a machine beeping. While most people would probably think I lived an unlucky life, loosing the love of my life at an early time, the time I spend with him are something I treasured most. Throughout the years, I'd say I learnt a lot. About moving on and continuing with the scars left in my heart. I'm glad to atleast have a friend by my side during those times, the times when I needed him most-- Kenma. "Goodbye, Keiji." "Goodbye." 

          I've made many mistakes and lost many opportunities, but there's no time for regret. Past is past. It already happened. So with a smile on my face, I closed my eyes. 

                                 Goodbye Kenma... Kou, I'm coming.

       To my surprise, I didn't see black nor white, I saw... memories. Ah, so it is true. The human brain does replay special memories after death.

                   Flashback...

      I was in my first year of high school, at Fukurodani Academy. 

      "Hey! You're A-ka-shi -kun, right?" The owl head said. He pronounced my name wrong...

      "It's A-ka-ah-shi." I said, correcting him. 

       "Say, can you toss to me for just a little bit?" he said.

        I agreed. It was only after that when I realized that his practice had no end. It was not just "for a little bit"!! I thought. I was exhausted. Thankfully it was time for us to go home.

 

       "AKASHIIII!!! You're sets are the best!! It's so easy to hit!" he said. I don't exactly know why, but being complimented so straightforward feels great. "Thank you." "Do you ever get excited by anything?!"

     "Akaashi!! Let's practice!" "Akaashi! Did you see that?! Did you see my amazing cut shot just now?!" "Akaashi! Wanna practice with me again?" "Akaashi!! You promised not to tell!" "Make that toss a good one, Akaashi!!" "Akaashi, nice receive!" "Nice toss!" 

     He saw moments of him and Kotaro, mostly when they were in high school, practicing. Then...

                       Flashback ends...
