“Something Lost Will Never Return”

With shut and exhausted eyes, Kuroko suddenly heard someone groaning and then exclaims he couldn’t seem to understand.

“…Oi, what…don’t.…Idiot…!” Was that Aomine?

“…Don’t do it, are you out of your mind?!” That was Midorima, wasn’t it?

“…What are you doing, get back here! Waah, don’t!” That’s surely Kise.

“DON’T!” For the first time, he heard Murasakibara shout.

Suddenly there was the fire of a gun, and since it sounded so near, Kuroko was somewhat sure it was Haruhiko’s…but he wasn’t feeling any pain…Why was that?

And why did he unexpectedly fell on the ground?

“AKA-CHIN!/AKASHI!/AKASHICCHI!” He heard his former teammates shout in despair and that’s when he found his strength and opened his eyes. His eyes widened upon seeing pool of blood right beside him. He looked up and found Yusei running after Haruhiko…and beside him with side bleeding too much because of the gun’s bullet…

Was Akashi.

“S-Sei-kun…?” He mumbled and reached for the red-head’s hand just to make sure. Upon touching the other’s hand, he had confirmed that it was truly Akashi who was lying on the pool of blood beside him and who was bleeding, bleeding hard. “Sei-kun!” He gasped, and forced himself up just to approach Akashi.

He sat beside the bleeding Akashi and shakily reached for the red-head’s half-lifeless hand. He held it as if it was the most fragile thing he had ever held and placed its’ almost ice-cold palm on his cheek. He was trembling with too much fear and guilt, he couldn’t move a muscle.

“Kurokocchi!” Kise exclaimed and shook his shoulders. “Hang in there, Kurokocchi, please! Akashicchi needs you!”

Upon hearing the red-head’s name, Kuroko quickly tried to compose himself and shakily took hold of Akashi’s head and wiped the blood which stained the latter’s pale face. “Sei-kun, answer me.” He mumbled, helplessly and tightened his grip around Akashi’s hand.

Akashi half-opened his eyes with all his energy left and smirked. “Why do you look like you’re facing a dead person…?” He teased and winced in pain. “I’ll be fine…”

“Just…just rest.” Kuroko whispered.

“You didn’t believe me when I said I’ll be fine, did you?” Akashi weakly demanded and caressed the teal-head’s cheek, although that also meant that the latter’s face would be stained with his blood. “I’ll be fine, I promise. Just don’t do something stupid while I rest. I don’t want you getting hurt. You mean the world to me.”

He nodded just for the sake that Akashi would finally rest. “J-Just rest already.”

“And one more thing,” Akashi whispered and wiped his tears. “Stop crying. It makes you look less adorable, I mean that.” He added and closed his eyes. “I’ll be fine, I…promise.” He murmured for the last time and squeezed the teal-head’s hand before letting sleep take over him.

Kuroko lifted the red-head and enveloped him with his warm arms. He hugged Akashi as if anytime now, the red-head would disappear. His tears started to pour down his cheeks when he saw the ‘Emperor’ smile while he was in his arms. It was as if Akashi was contented just by being enveloped by Kuroko’s warmth.
