5 Stages of Change (A Kuroko no Basket Fanfic)

[Murasakibara Atsushi] Separation

-5 missed calls, 10 messages-

That's what you got from Murasakibara after the Seirin vs. Yosen match. It was already after the Winter Cup and you didn't bother to reply or call back. How could you? His cold words and glare; not to mention how he ignored the cookies you made - which had your note of confession for the purple haired boy- still fresh in your heart and mind.

"(First Name)-chan, what are you spacing out for? Come on or we will be late," Riko Aida called out. It was Kuroko's birthday and you helped your senpais to shop for some things for the party which was going to be held at Kagami's place.

"Haiiii!" you quickly followed them.

"Are you okay? You've been spacing out lately," Kiyoshi asked, worry evident in his eyes.

"I'm fine Kiyoshi-senpai," you put on a smile, not wanting anyone to know that you were in a stage of heartbreak. Mitobe made some hand signs and somehow you understood him. "I'm sure Mitobe-senpai," with a chuckle, you then focused on Nigou who was with Mitobe and scratch his head making the dog bark happily.

Riko and Kiyoshi looked at each other, both thinking to ask Kuroko later.

When you got to Kagami's apartment, the Generation of Miracles, Yosen's Himuro and Shutoku's Takao were also there much to your and your senpais shock. Kiyoshi was the first to greet Murasakibara who slightly glared at him then was reprimanded by Himuro. You felt him spot you but you were already greeting Kuroko a happy birthday.

"Thank you (First Name)-chan, I am glad you're able to come before you leave," Kuroko smiled.

You smiled back and hugged your cousin before the party started. Sitting besides Kiyoshi, you felt a piercing glare focus on you and Kiyoshi. Locking eyes with Murasakibara, you can feel from your seat his obvious irritation of something. Looking away when Kiyoshi, being the good senpai he was, offered you some food after seeing the lack of it in your plate.

"Thank you senpai," you gave a small smile, willing yourself to ignore the giant.

---------------

"(First Name)chin," you heard him call out after the party, before you can go home.

Your heart squeezed painfully at that but you composed yourself before confronting him. "What is it Murasakibara-san?" He flinched with your cold tone, and you felt a little satisfaction at that. Serves him right.

"I'm sorry for being mean (First Name)chin," he mumbled quietly, like a child who finally learned his mistake with a pout. That should have been enough but your heart was already broken and cold.

"I don't need your apologies. If that is all, I'll be leaving. Goodbye." Without giving him a chance to reply, you quickly left.

You needed to start packing anyways, for tomorrow you will be moving to Osaka first thing in the morning.
