The One that Got Away

Chapter 1:

Akashis' POV

It has been over five years since the meaning of my life faded away.

Now, at the age of twenty-five, I have already accomplished things that are far beyond me, like the Akashi I should. Everything was predestined and calculated for me since the day I was born. I get everything in life. It was all given and everything else is. My life comes nothing short of perfect.

All except one. Kuroko Tetsumi . The light of my life. The only person that I, the captain of the legendary Generation of Miracles knuckled under. The world wasn't the same with her, with her around I'm not an Akashi, I'm me. It was an emotion I did not know I'am capable of. Akashi Seijurou fell in love with Kuroko Tetsumi. She was an enigma to me, unpredictable and for once I felt that I was human. That I do exist. Not an heir following what was expected of him but a person of his own free-will. She was one of a kind and falling in love with her was probably the best thing I have ever felt.

I remembered the time I expressed my feelings to her, it was after a team meeting. Me, the captain and she as the manager along side with Momoi . We were alone in the club room collecting research materials on the next team we're having a match on. It was the first time I became nervous, forgetting all logic I ended up pinning her on the door and kissing the lights out of her. It was heaven but reality had to kick in and I look at her intensely not letting her go, conveying my feelings through my hetero chromatic eyes. It took me by surprise when she hugged me back

and whispered "Took you long enough Akashi-kun" and pecked my lips.

I hugged her tightly and smiled, not a smirk, not a grin but a real smile. Ah Kuroko Tetsumi someday you will be the death of me. I was fighting the urge to jump and shout 'Yes' like a dark-skinned basketball idiot I know or do a victory dance that a blonde model would do. It was blissful it was like a dream.

But the devil came to visit me and I entertained him. I got burned and now only ashes remain. Will I ever find her again?

Now, I could only dream of her. Touch her and kiss and love her. Replaying our movie in my mind every night. The memory engraved in my mind became like a long lost dream.
