Different shades of love ~A.S.D story (KUROKO NO BASUKE FANFICTION)

CHAPTER 2 : THE PRETENDERS

~Magenta Meets Caramel Brown~

Akashi massaged his temple. He was beyond stressed, because of the old man who was sitting in front of him. He take a note that this day indeed was his worst day. He looked at the man who was the source of his problem.

 "Will you repeat the words that you said old man?" he asked.

 The man sighed. "I'm not just an old man, Sei. I'm still your father, you still have to respect me"

 "Just answer my question" he snapped. 

 "As I said, I arranged a meeting one of this day so you can meet your fiancee."

 A vein popped in Akashi's head. 

"Who give you the authority to do that?"

"I'm just doing my job as your father. To secure our company in the future you need to marry the daughter of our business rival, Kise Ryouta."

"I wouldn't marry her."

His father raised an eyebrow at him.

"Will you please tell me why?"

"Because I already had a girlfriend, old man."

 The man eyes widened, maybe because he did not expect that his son, Seijuurou, will fall inlove. Just incase for having a girlfriend. But he knew the young man in front of him, he is his son afterall. This surely was just his trick to stop the arrange marriage.

"If you really had a girlfriend, bring her to our cafe this afternoon and introduce her to me."

 Akashi just smirked at his father. 

 "My words are absolute." was the last word he said as he stand up and turn to leave the mansion. 

 He look calm but in inside he couldn't help but to panic a little. He doesn't have a girlfriend. So how he can introduce "her"? Maybe he should drag some random girl? But how could he do that without a problem in just 4 remaining hours?

Furihata take a deep breath. She needed it to make herself calm. Because right now, she was in a middle of a crowded street here in Tokyo. She was a coward, she admitted it a long time ago. Facing different people was a hell of a task for her but she needed it to look for a job. She remembered the conversation that she had with her parents.

~FLASHBACK~

 Furihata was eating breakfast with her whole family which is composed of a 6 kids, including her as a third child, and her parents. When her mother suddenly coughed that brought her attention to her mother.

"Ma, are you sick?"

Her mother shaked her head.

"I'm alright, Uri." she hesitated a bit.

"But we need to tell you something." 

Her mother looked at her with sad eyes. 

"This year, your two older brother will going to enroll now in college."

 She beamed happily. "Really?"

"But. . ." her father interrupted. ". . .we can't afford the tuition fee of your brothers. So, me and your mother we've decided that you need to stop."

Her smile immediately disappeared. 

'NO!' she thought, I've promised to my friends that we will enroll in Teiko.'

SILENCE

A bright idea suddenly popped on her head.

She smiled again to her parents.
