Hidden Secrets

Chapter 9 - Surprise?

Akashi woke up to the sound of rushing water.

He lazily extends his hand beside him only to feel it cold and barren. The red head grunted, wrapping his whole body inside the blanket, thinking the small tealette won't be coming back to bed.

As minutes passed, the red head drifts back to his slumber. That was, until harsh lights rudely filled the room.

"It's time to wake up, Akashi-kun" a soft voice says, while two pairs of arms gently shaking him awake.

The red head just groaned. "Five more minutes..."

"Everyone will soon be meeting downstairs, Akashi-kun. Go and take a shower, or you'll be late for breakfast."

"Mmm..."

"Akashi-kun" the tealette stubbornly tried, shaking the red head much harder but to no avail.

"I'll push you off the bed" Kuroko warned.

Silence

The small phantom sighed. "Hurry up,"

"Seijuro-kun..." the tealette whispers.

Hetechromatic eyes slowly fluttered open, a wide, beautiful smile gracing his lips, making the other slightly blush. Afterall, it was really rare, seeing both couples smile.

"What was that?" Akashi says, amused at the other's reaction.

The tealette pouted, knowing the red head was teasing him again. "I said, you should hurry up and go take a shower"

"No, not that. What did you call me?"

"Akashi-kun" the passer says without missing a beat.

"The one you whispered"

"I don't what you're talking about"

"Tetsuya"

"Yes?"

"I am not going out of this bed until you say my name"

Akashi stares at the tealette, smirking as he saw the other contemplate.

"Fine..." Kuroko sighs, making the red head smile triumphantly. The latter glared at him.

"If you don't want to come down and eat breakfast then suit yourself" and with that, the red head was left wide eyed, staring at the same empty spot the teal head once was.

"So stubborn..." he sighs, defeated.

The red head, although begrudgingly, just stood up, and walked towards bathroom to prepare himself for the day.

---Time Skip---

The red head was now descending the stairs, and as he got closer to the living room, he can suddenly hear Kise's and Aomine's cry for help.

True enough, once he opens the door to the living room, he was greeted by an incredible sight.

He saw Ogiwara rolling on the floor laughing so hard, Kagami smirking, clearly amused at what he's seeing, a confused Midorima standing at a corner and lastly, Aomine and Kise was running around yelling profanities. All of them stopped once the red head coughed.

"A-akashi!" Aomine exclaimed, his eyes widened, not really noticing a basketball rolling on the floor. The captain just watched him trip, falling face-first on the ground.

"Shit! Who the hell would leave a ball here!?" Aomine yelled furiously while pushing his aching body from the floor. He glared at the basketball.

"It's mine" an unfamiliar voice suddenly says. Everyone noticed how Kagami began to groan before slumping himself onto the couch.
