I Remember You..

Prologue:

*flashback...*

Back in middle school in Teiko..

" That's enough! Take a break!" The coach announces, blowing his whistle to finish the first set of training.

" Whooo! Finally!" Aomine whooped, sighing in exhaustion, taking a seat in the bench while grabbing a water bottle in the process.

" Great work guys! Here! I made honey lemons!" I said and gave them the honey lemons in a plasticware,

" Arre? Oka-chin made this? I guess I'll eat.." Murasakibara said and picked lazily.

I'm Kuroko Ritsuya, The co-manager and co-coach of the Teiko basketball club.

" Wow, Oka-cchi really knows how to make these kind of lemons taste good!" Kise said as he take a another bite,

" Arigato Neesan, the lemons are delicious. " Tetsu-niisan said with a smile,

The first strings call me as Okasan/mother, it depends on what they call me,

They call me whatever they like, it's either Oka-cchi/Oka-chin/Ritsu/Okaasan,

" Thanks for the lemons, Ritsu!" Nijimura said with a wide smile and ruffled my hair after swallowing a piece.

While enjoying my time with the team, I saw Akashi panting in the other side,

I went to my side of the bench and grabbed a clean towel and a bottle of sports drink then walked to his side, jumping a little as I approach him.

" Sei-chan~" I called his attention,

" Hm? Oh, Ritsu, Do you need anything?" He asks, smiling lightly as a greeting.

" No. But you do, Here" I said and gave him the towel and the drinks, cheerfully smiling.

" Oh, Thank you" He said and accepted it with a smile,

" You know, you shouldn't tire yourself up everyday right? You need a little break." I said, being a voice of reason through his merciless training.

" Thank you for the concern Ritsu, but I'm afraid I can't do that, I have to become stronger in order to help deliver victory for the team. ." He clarified and drank the sports drink rather quickly.

" But if you push yourself too much you'll--" I said, my voice raising with worry but I was cutted off by him,

" Are you disagreeing with my decisions, Ritsu?" He asked, with a bit of taunting tone in his voice, his eyes stern and glued on me.

His smile a minute ago was all gone.

My eyes widen and I felt wave of fear rush through my body,

" No, I'm not.. Sorry, Sei-- Akashi-san..." I stammered and started walking away slowly and jogged away with fear.

' No.. You're pushing her away again Seijuro!'

I shouldn't cross my boundaries against Akashi anymore, this time was a mistake.

I can't take anything to fasten my heartbeat any longer,

I can't let them know my condition for now..

Even Niisan can't know..

" Oi, Ritsu" Aomine called for me snapping me out of my thoughts,

" Hm?" I hummed in question, gripping edges of the folder I'm holding, tightly. My bag hanging below my shoulder.

" You don't seem focused there.. Something wrong?" He asked looking worried a bit, his eyebrows started to knit together.

" Me? Oh! I'm fine!" I answered and faked a smile,
