KNB 20: Apologies

Summary: Going for a morning jog gets you in trouble.

Notes: I don't care what you say Charlie is my baby badass.

(More Notes At The End Of The Chapter)

The morning light filtered through the blinds and my eyes instantly shot open. Sitting up I held back a groan as my muscles began to loosen, I felt awful.

A throbbing headache was drumming away at my temples as I rubbed it, in a useless attempt to make it disappear,

Watching my phone flash, I picked it up and gritted my teeth at all the texts from various family members and friends. I deleted them all without reply and then pulled myself out of my bed, wincing at the feeling of all the blood rushing from my head.

Quickly I picked up some jogging gear, got changed and then turning off my phone and then I was gone.

It was early, the sky streaked with dark reds and oranges as the sun began to rise. There was a slight chill in the air but I continued running around the campus, sparing but a glance at the dew drops that clung to the grass blades on the Athletics field.

I was trying to keep my mind off the phone call that had placed me in such a bad mood. I knew if Akashi saw me he would probably wallop me  but I needed to do some sort of exercise to loosen my muscles.

I continued to jog until the campus began to wake up, I watched the lights turn on in rooms and curtains being pulled open. I glanced at the zombie like figures that trundled to the 6am breakfast and continued to jog until my knees began to seize up and my breathing became to erratic to control.

I continued to jog, just like I had swam, until my legs gave out and I collapsed onto the floor, conveniently, behind the basketball dorms.

A heavy sigh left my mouth in between the pants. I was definitely gonna get a lecture. So I pulled myself off the ground and using the side of the building I stumbled towards the main door which I shoved open and then fell through.

Momoi and Kise ran into the foyer and I watched them simultaneously sigh and walk back out to fetch someone to carry me. But little did they know I was used to not using my legs and had found other ways to get around.

Lying on my front I pushed myself to the wall where I backed up, having my legs go higher as my hands got closer and then once my hands were next to the wall I walked away on my hands, legs in the air.

I quickened my pace as I heard footsteps rush to the foyer and I quickly made my way to the steps and then quickly climbed up them and once I got to the top I dropped to the floor and log rolled toward the room.

"Charlie Kinmura! You can run but you can't hide." Akashi's voice echoed around the building.

I quickly got back onto my hands, walked into the room and collapsed onto my bed, panting slightly. I rolled in and pulled the covers over me pretending to have been there the whole time.

The footsteps became louder and louder until someone burst into the room. I'm assuming it was either Aomine or Kise as they probably made finding me into a game. But as the the covers were lifted I looked at Midorima's panting face.

"You are in so much trouble, there is only one way to save yourself; fall onto your knees and beg for your life."

I looked at him and smirked, "never."

Midorima frowned and watching him remove his glasses and massage his temples I realised that might have been my last strike with the big strawberry.

"Don't say I didn't warn you." He then walked over to the sofa and begun a game of shoji.

I noticed the absence of the blush that he used to wear when we talked and smirked slightly, that was the end of that then.

Not long after my revelation the door slammed open, again. I smirked at the red haired midget but let it drop as soon as I saw the glare sent from Midorima and the rest of the miracles who were standing behind Akashi.

"Charlie. Can you please get off your bed and sit down with us?" Akashi's voice was calm and his demeanour like wise but the way his right eye was twitching I could tell it was the calm before the storm.

So I got up and sat down in front of him as the rest of the miracles filtered into their beds to pretend to do things whilst actually listening.

I crossed my legs and watched him sit in front of me. My head throbbed slightly at unwanted memories but I shoved them away.

I looked in front of me and locked eyes with Akashi and instantly lowered my head. Not because I was scared but because the look he was giving me was one of sheer sadness. He sighed heavily and then bent down to make me look back into his eyes.

"Kinmura-kun, please stop."

"Stop what?" He sighed, heavily and I realised that I had heard that sound too many times for a day.

"You know exactly what. Kinmura-kun, do you not understand how much you scare us when have no interest in your safety and health?" He sighed and his head collapsed into his hands, "it's like looking after a 5 year old. I can't believe how hard it is just to keep you safe for not even a day."

My face heated up, in shame. I never meant to make them scared. My way of living had never affected anyone before. No one had ever cared what I did. And I wasn't sure I liked being cared about.

"Kinmura-kun, please stop putting yourself in danger. You have nothing to prove, you are already part of this family." He whispered and I realised that the reason I was actually sorry and scared was because his voice being soft and reassuring instead of angry.

I looked down again and squeezed my eyes shut trying to remember what it felt like to actually be cared for but i couldn't.

"Kinmura-kun?" I groaned slightly, my headache at full power, "Char-kun?"

"I went jogging for my own good." A low chuckle escaped Akashi's lips and I heard a few other laughs from the others. "I'm not joking. I needed to get the blood flowing to my muscles to stop a full blown injury occurring."

I sighed heavily, "I'm sorry."

Akashi smiled and then he groaned and I watched the smile fade to be replaced by a frown. He got up and stormed out calling behind him, "breakfast finishes at 8 sharp, which is is in an hour, in this building and there is a meeting for all captains and vice captains. Shintaro, I expect you to be waiting at the main door in precisely two hours."

And right before the door slammed shut, "I don't expect to have that conversation again, Charlie."
