Runaway blue

Chapter 13

《He knows, he sees,
Everything is in his reach.
He takes all that he needs
And can put you in a tight pinch.》
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They all wanted to say more, to know more, but were interrupted by the door opening, and in came their king, with a cold expression.

~

Tension erupted in flames alongside panic, nobody dared utter a word for the man before them looked like a beast ready to slay anyone who approached. Nobody dared go againsf him, nobody exept his son, Kuroko Tetsuya, who had seen that side of him many times, unfortunately.
He moved forward and past the man, not saying anything, but a silent warning.

“Tetsuya, wait.” The red haired teen called out to him. “Your highness, with all due respect,” that I don't have, “I-”
“Akashi Seijuro.” The blue haired royal cut off. “Son of Masaomi Seijuro. I don't believe your father would be too pleased with you right now. I suggest you all go home without a fuss, or I will have you punished for kidnapping the prince.” His words had the desired effect, spoken with calmness as if a sly fox planning mischief, threat heard loud and clear. “Let's go, Tetsuya.”
And so, the young royal led his father outside, where he felt himself drained and fall behind. Would the nightmare ever end?

Rage hidden behind teal locks, his posture never breaking, he knew that the elder Kuroko was waiting for him by the vehicle, where Kuroko Tatsuki was most likely waiting as well.
They wanted him trapped, with no means of escape.

Just as he was about to step foot inside, the doors of their mansion burst open and out came the purple haired giant, his large body creating an even larger shadow as his face screamed danger.
I'm not in the mood for this, Tetsuya thought.
“Murasakibara-kun-”
“You're mean!” The adressed ignored his silent plea, sending daggers at Kuroko Takeshi. “Kuro-chin doesn't deserve this kind of treatment! He deserves a good family that loves him for who he is, not a bad person like you!!! You don't deserve him!!!” He yelled, almost like a child but managing to get his point across just perfectly.
Takeshi's wide eyes were a prize short lived though, as his cold posture returned in a mere second.
“And you do?” He fired back, with the maturity of a grown up. “After all this, you think you deserve him?”
“Maybe not, but we're doing our best so that we do! What are you doing? Causing him more pain!” In the midst of all that, Tetsuya was pushed behind the giant and surrounded by the protective aura of his friends and for once, Akashi wasn't the one leading the current of the sittuation, but stood on the sidelines just in front of him.

“…” His father's expression was unreadable, and for the first time, it made the tealnette worry. Neither of the two parties would back down and it scared him just how far they would/could take it, after all, telling the king off is not something you normally do, not when he could have you arrested for taking his son somewhere without his knowledge. “Tetsuya.” He flinched at being called, after so many years, he flinched at his own name.
I really need a break.
“Hai, otò-san.”
“Let's go.” Kuroko Takeshi turned his back on them and got into the car. Tetsuya almost couldn't believe it, the kingdom's ruler backed down from the words of a bunch of teens. He wasn't even threatening to punish them!
“H-hai.” The shortest teen walked past the warm barrier of comfort to follow the elder Kuroko inside, however once again, was stopped by the purple haired teen's words.

“Kuro-chin should be his own person, not a shadow of perfection.”

He looked at Murasakibara, who now started munching on snacks as if he hadn't said or done anything, and threw a last comment over his shoulder.
“We'll see if he manages.”
He was the one to say the last words, and he was the one silently laughing at it all.
Screw rules indeed.
Murasakibara was right, just because he was the next in line to be king didn't mean he had to play perfect. He could be his own person and rule the kingdom to it's peak, and refuse his father's wishes altogether.

“You know, I've been thinking dad…” the golden eyed prince drawled out, gaining the attention of his father, who had a disapproving look in his eyes as he watched him.
They were in the king's studio, Tetsuya had gone to his room as soon as they had set foot in the mansion. The boy was tired, Tatsuki could understand that more than anyone so he gave his father the look he usually gave when feeling overprotective; glaring holes in the elder's head, daring him to stop the kid.
After that he decided to hang out with the man while he did his work, that way they could talk and he could annoy his father as a plus.
Right now he was seated in one of the comfy couches, arms spread wide, his feet on the table and head hanging loosely back.
Delinquent, Takeshi thought.
“What is it.”
“You're sending 'Tsu to that famous school right?” He asked, earning a hum in return. “I see.”
Silence fell for a few minutes.

“Why do you ask?” The father questioned, turning his whole attention to the young man.
You must know something about Kuroko Tatsuki: whatever he asks, he asks because of a plan. Nothing's a game with him.
He learned that the hard way.

Tatsuki had had this attitude since childhood. As children, he and Tetsuya went to different schools first. So one day the golden eyed boy asked him the name of Tetsuya's school, and with the answer, by the next day he had transfered to his brother's school. ‘For safety measures.’ He said.
Many more cases of the sort repeated themselves and now he had some idea what his son would do.

“Oh that…” The young teen said, tearing his gaze from the ceiling and meeting his eyes, mischief evident on his face. “I'll be working there as a teacher from now on.”

‘For safety measures…’

Ah so this is how Tatsuki should look like.

Excuse my evil coloring. Just imagine his eyes gold and his hair  teal ok?

So anyways, as I've already said in my othef fanfic, I will be updating once a week every week from now on in honour of those taking exams right now. I hope to keep this up at least till the start of june.
God save me when exams take me as well. 😭

ENJOY!
