Misfortunes to Fortunes (Akashi x OC)

Chapter 20

Akashi's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and shifted around a little. Hearing a small whine, I looked down to see Sumire curled up beside me, gripping my hand tightly. Seeing her like this made me smile down at her. I turned around to see that it was now almost 10:30, meaning we still had some time to go out and get lunch before heading to Seirin for their practice match against Shinkyo.

Gently shaking Sumire awake, I informed her about the time and how we still had time to grab lunch. She slowly and reluctantly got up and walked to our bags to grab her cloths. She changed into black jeans, a white button-up and a grey jacket with pink stripes over it. The jacket was long and reached the back of her knees.

I also changed into a white T-shirt with denim jeans and a jacket that was matching Sumire's but except with red stripes. We both head to the bathroom and did our morning routines. After I was finished, I took the brush and brushed out Sumire's hair for her. I brought a bag to put all our stuff in and we headed out.

We made our way to a near cafe and we took a seat. I ordered tea for me and black coffee with no sugar for Sumire. I also ordered two sandwiches for the both of us since I knew she would probably only eat a quarter to a half of it anyways.

We stayed there for around 45 minutes just relaxing and Sumire told me about the team we were up against today. She said that Shinkyo was basically a one man team and was defiantly not going to be able to beat us. The strategy we would be using would be tight defence. Even though we would be able to handle them even if we didn't try at all, it's always fun to play with them a little.

Our plan was to just make sure their only source of scoring doesn't even get the chance of touching the ball. This way, it would be fun to see them struggling. Is what Sumire had told me. Not a lot of people knew this side of Sumire but sometimes, she could get a little sadistic, and especially after she heard about that Papa Nbaye Shiki.

Apparently he made fun of short people just because he's super tall. Being called a kid or short by anyone except for me had become one of Sumire's most hated things. And knowing her history, you would not want her on your bad side.

We stayed for another five minutes or so before heading towards Seirin High. Once we arrived, we headed straight for the sports hall. By the time we got there, almost everyone was ready and waiting for the bus. It didn't take long for us to get on the bus. Once everyone was seated, we were told that the ride would be for about half an hour so we were welcomed to rest.

I wasn't feeling tired so I just let Sumire lay down and gently stroked her head. Resting is like a luxury for Sumire, being part cat, so she would rest whenever she got the chance to. I didn't mind her using me as her pillow because I know that I'm the only one she'd warm up to. Around others, she'd always be highly alert.

It took slightly longer than expected because of traffic but when we got there, we were greeted by the coach of the other team. He welcomed us in and lead us to the gym where we went and changed and began our warm ups. We did some pulse raisers, some stretching and some shooting before the referee blew the whistle indicating 5 minutes till we start.

Everyone huddled around and I explained the plan and how we were going to corner the other team and the Seirin members just listened and nodded. As we walked to the court, someone walked over and bumped into Sumire. She stumbled slightly I was beside her in a flash.

I pulled her behind me and glared up at the tall male who I recognised as 'Dad'. He looked down at us with visibly mock. He was about to say something but with a look at my glowing heterochromatic eyes, he backed down.

He turned around with a 'tch, Kids' and I felt Sumire's grip on the back of my shirt tighten. I grabbed her hand and turned around to face her. Leaning down and clipping her hair to the side, I caressed her face and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Show them how much better you are then them."-Akashi

Sumire nodded and took my hand in her small ones. She gently placed a kiss on the back of my hand and looked up at me with warmth in her eyes. She hugged me a little before we broke apart to line up and start the game.

I'll make sure you pay the price for what you said to us...

This one's a bit short because I felt like this was a good time to stop the chapter.
