5 Stages of Change (A Kuroko no Basket Fanfic)

[Akashi Seijuro] Separation

A cold and heavy silence enveloped your family one night as you were having dinner with the two Akashis. It became a tradition since you two became close but even the head of the Akashi family can sense the change between the two of you.

"So Seijuro-kun, where do you plan on going for high school? Graduation is only 3 months away," your mother smiled, trying to ease the tension.

"Ah, I've decided to attend Rakuzan, (Your Mother's Name)-san," the young red head answered eloquently without a hint of indecisiveness.

"So I guess (First Name) will go there as well?" your eldest brother teased jokingly but stopped as you smiled icily.

"That's where you're wrong Onii-sama. I have decided and accepted, with father's consent, to study in England where Uncle is. It will be a good experience for the near future as I decided to also help out in the company," you announced gracefully and the news shocked everyone except your father. Seijuro had his mask on so you didn't know what his reaction was, and you chided yourself not to care anymore,"

"Did you know about this Seijuro?" Akashi Masaomi asked his son with a calm voice but you can detect the underlying confusion in it.

"I did not father. But if it benefits her the most why not?" Seijuro replied as he wiped his mouth with the table napkin.

And that's when you truly confirmed that he had changed, or maybe he got tired and finally showed his true colors to chase you off. You smiled a fake grateful smile before excusing yourself, saying you were tired and prefer to go to bed early since your family mansion was the venue for tonight's dinner.

'Stop her' Akashi can feel his other self plead within

'We do not need her, she will only be a burden,' the emperor side chided, wanting to make the other believe that they truly didn't need her.

'You will regret this' was the other's reply and the emperor just scoffed, confident that he was right.

But when the following day came, rumors circulated that you had transferred out. That you finished everything for the next 3 months and flew to another country with the expectation of the diploma to be received by your father instead.

Akashi felt empty, he didn't know why. Or maybe he did but refused to accept the reason. The hollow feeling in his chest had caused confusion in his chest at your true absence. Had he made a mistake?

'I told you so..' the original Akashi Seijuro whispered in the back of his head, it was soft and sad yet to the emperor it became a continuous mockery for a mistake he denies to have made.
