Unforgettable Memories (Akashi X Reader)

Chapter 14

Akashi's POV

While sitting in the living room a thought occurred to me. Why not give all the staff the day off? I certainly didn't want them seeing the face (Y/N) made earlier. I want to keep it for myself.

So I went and took out my phone to call my butler.

"Yes Akashi-sama?" I hear Tanaka's voice.

"Tell the staff here that they all have the day off." I order.

"H-Hai. As you wish young master." He rambles. I smirk at the older man's obvious surprise at my request.

"Good." I say then hang up before I hear the other man's farewell. I smile to myself. I have (Y/N) all to myself for the rest of the day.

At that thought I start to hear someone's angelical singing coming from the kitchen.

'(Y/N)?'

Reader's POV

Without realizing it I had started singing while I cooked. I didn't know what came over me because I haven't sung in a very long time. But once I started I couldn't stop because it felt amazing. I've always loved singing, but quit after that day.

I was in the middle of singing one of my favorite songs when I heard someone approach me from behind. I was too occupied with frying the bacon that I didn't look. Instead I just stopped my singing.

"Don't stop." I hear Akashi's voice whisper right behind me. I had to stop myself from flinching, one at the closeness, and two the embarrassing fact that he had been listening.

"But I'm done with the song." I lie, not wanting to continue with someone watching. I busy myself with cooking the bacon for our lunch, which is BLTs. Seeing that they were done I turn off the burner and put the bacon on the plate I had prepared earlier.

I turn to get the lettuce and tomato out of the fridge but am stopped short by the short red head in front of me. "What?" I ask when he made no indication of moving.

"I told you to not stop singing." He says in a deep, husky voice. 

"But I was done." I lie once again avoiding his gaze.

"So? You could have sung a different song." He pauses. "And I like your singing." He says in a quieter voice hiding his face under his bangs. [A/N: Ya forgot to mention that this is after the winter cups so he grew his hair back to its previous length. Yay!]

"Eh?" I look at him shocked.

'Did he just praise my singing? Like? He likes it?'

I start to blush with the sudden attention and look away from Akashi.

We both stood there like a couple of idiots for what felt like hours before I decide to break the silence. "U-Um I need to get the lettuce and tomato from the fridge." I point behind him.

"Oh s-sorry." He turns around and walks over to the fridge and opens it. He grabs the items I listed and puts them on the counter, or island rather, between us.

Snapping out of my trance of watching him, I move to grab a knife. Finding the perfect one for slicing the tomato, I walk over to the counter. Akashi eyed me warily. I'm guessing because of the knife I was holding. That made me grin demonically.

"What? Don't trust me with a knife?" I ask, pointing the knife at him.

"N-No." He puts his hands up in surrender.

"Whatever." I shrug then turn to the task at hand. Slicing tomatoes.

As I sliced the tomatoes, Akashi seemed to just stand there watching me. It was both embarrassing and nerve wrecking at the same time.
