•••••
The battle between Rakuzan and Seirin High finally ended with Seirin as victors.
You, standing and watching from the farthest part, can't believe that Akashi Seijūrō offered a hand shake to Kuroko.
Tears streamed from your eyes as you smiled and held your chest tightly. Knowing Akashi is back, you can't help but feel the overwhelming happiness inside your heart.
As soon as his team exited, you ran towards them, hoping that you can talk with the red-haired emperor.
•••
"U-Uhm, thank you." You smiled as Kotaro gave you a thumbs up.
"Do your best [Name]! See ya'" He yelled and walked away with the rest of the team, except for him.
Peeking at the door, your field of vision was greeted by darkness and you quickly frowned.
'Is Hayama Kotaro playing a bullshit prank on me?' You thought as you gritted your teeth.
Just then...
"[Name], I know you're there. Come in."
You nearly fainted when you saw a pair of heterochromatic eyes staring back at you.
"A-Akashi!" You stuttered and entered the room. "Jeez! Don't scare me like that."
"Why are you here?" He frowned as he fixed his stuff. Still, the coldness in his voice never changed.
"...Akashi... I..." You looked away then fiddled with your skirt.
Silence filled the room, and you keep on glancing at the Red-Haired Emperor's back.
You quickly took out your phone, then pictured him with his back facing you. The visible number four was shown in his jersey.
"What did you do?" He glared as soon as he turned around.
Smiling sadly, you gave him your phone and he shot you a confused look.
"I wish to take one last picture before moving on."
Akashi's eyes widened and he looked away, "...Is that so?"
You nodded and you stepped closer to him, "Smile then Akashi."
As soon as he flashed a small smile, tears quickly escaped your eyes and it kept on falling. You tried wiping it off but the more you tried to stop, the more it flowed.
"...[Name]." Akashi asked, a hint of worry in his voice.
"N-No, I'm fine! Its just, I get so emotional. Hahahaha!" You faked laugh, but your eyes told otherwise.
Akashi sighed before putting the phone down and let you sit on the bench. Your hands kept on wiping away the tears as Akashi bent down and quickly took hold of your hands.
"I-I'm sorry Akashi... You've told me to stay away but, i-it hurts so much." You sobbed.
"I'm sorry for hurting you." Akashi smiled and kissed your tears away, making you stop and look at him.
"I still love you, [Name]."
You giggled and peck his cheeks. You quickly took your phone then placed it in front of you and Akashi for a picture.
Akashi smiled as he placed a kiss on your forehead, "Make sure to never delete this picture."
And he kissed you, cue the camera, capturing the snowy scenery and lovers kissing.
OMAKE:
Your teenage daughter giggled as she stared at your scrapbook.
"Mom! I want to find someone who's sweet like Dad~"
You smiled and pat her red hair before kissing her forehead, "Mmmh, make sure he's a basketball player too, okay?"
Akashi gazed at the both of you and smiled before turning back to his papers. You giggled and leaned in to your daughter's ear, "Make sure he smiles whenever he takes a picture with you too."
One happy thing about taking pictures, is you can save a loving memory with the person you love. Now, smile.
