'Am I Not Enough?'

This oneshot is based from the Vocaloid song 'A Solution For Jealousy'

"Ne ne Kurokocchi~~ Do you already have someone you like?"

The aforementioned blue haired teen was surprised with the sudden question his blonde haired friend asked. How would he answer a controversial question without even having the time to prepare for it?

"Tell us, Tetsu-kun!"

Momoi asked as she scooted closer towards the poor teallette who was trying hard to pry the strong gazes and expecting looks his friends are giving him.

"I... Would the both of you please move farther away from me?"

Kuroko protested as he placed both of his hands in front of him.

The three teens were just outside of their classroom and are hanging out by the vicinity of the neighboring classroom but what they don't know is that a pair of scrutinizing eyes are observing them intently from inside of said classroom.

"Oi Akashi, you look so out of it."

Midorima approached the red head who was currently gripping a pencil but his attention was somewhere else outside of the classroom.

"... Irritating..."

In the blink of an eye, the pencil was now broken in two. The green head flinched but he did not say anything else.

"Aka-chin is something wrong? Here, have some snacks."

Murasakibara turned his chair to the side to be able to hand the bag of chips he was currently eating, but the red head only refused the offer.

"No thank you, Atsushi."

Akashi sighed and turned his attention away from outside. He turned his body at 45 degrees so that he's now facing the chalkboard.

"Why did you break your pencil like that?"

Midorima asked once he deemed that the red head had calmed down for quite a bit. He sat on his appointed seat as he waited for Akashi's answer.

"I want to know and yet I don't."

Was the red head's simple reply. Midorima raised his eyebrow at this. His red haired friend is being pretty vague about what he was saying.

"Aka-chin is being weird today."

Murasakibara commented; Midorima would've said more if it weren't for their homeroom teacher coming in.

The students who were outside went on and sat on their respective seats inside the classroom. Akashi slyly directed his gaze to the slightly smaller blue haired boy who was scurrying to get to his classroom that is beside Akashi's. The irritation is still not leaving him.

He wants to know who Kuroko likes or even his type, and would surely glare at any other person with those features that is not him. He will make them cower and make Kuroko his.

But the thing is,

They haven't spoken to each other. Not even once.

That is a huge disadvantage on Akashi's part. He was always so busy with school work and student council duties that he forgot about talking to the blue head. That and he just don't know how to start a conversation with someone so quiet and reserved as Kuroko.

Akashi sighed and ignored the buzzing jealousy forming in his mind as of now. The blue head has not stated who he likes as of now or what type he's looking for so the whole student body of Teiko is safe for the mean time.

Akashi sighed for the umpteenth time that day. He just have to lay low and observe for the mean time.

As if that's not what he's doing all this time

'Why am I the score keeper? I could've done more if I was out there and maybe...'

Akashi mused quietly with an irritated look as he stood beside the scoreboard with a pen marker in hand. Their class is playing dodge ball and apparently their teacher appointed him to record the points. Just standing there is one thing why Akashi was currently irritated, another thing is that the other class where Kuroko is part of is also using the field. If their teacher only lets him play then he's sure that he'd play in his very best, hoping to get the blue head's attention.

'He's not a bad player but he's not good either. He's just too perfect being imperfect like that. We compliment each other all too well,'

Akashi's not even taking note of the scores as he kept on staring at the other class whose P.E is a game of badminton. Well, not the whole class, rather only one individual from that class.

'That trickle of sweat marks his 50th milliliter of perspiration'

'That muscle contraction must've hurt his biceps, he seems to can't handle it much'

'Watch where you're hitting, sick bastard! You almost hit his precious face!'

'That's his 25th successful hit and his 5th point. I'm so proud'

Akashi kept on watching the friendly game exercise the other class is having that he overlooked at the fact that his own class is also doing P.E exercises and the scoreboard's empty and he's not paying attention and that there's a dodge ball about to hit him square in the face and he still has not noticed-

"AKASHI WATCH OUT!"

The moment the red head turned his head, is when the dodgeball sent him flying backwards onto the ground.

The red emperor laid there with his front facing the sky. He's not bothered by the red hot liquid gushing out from his nose as he stared at the bright cloudless sky.

'I am such an idiot for not paying attention'

He slowly focused his eyes towards the other class and he can feel the heated questioning gazes the students from that class is giving him, and then he found that pair of light blue eyes lock eye contact with his red eyes.

Akashi placed an arm over his eyes to block the sunlight and the judging gazes the others are giving him.

'What an embarrassment'

"OI AKASHI!"

In a moment's time, Midorima and Murasakibara came to Akashi's side and assisted him.

'I guess I was just too mesmerized by Kuroko that I forgot dodgeball is a dangerous game especially if played by idiots'

Akashi grumbled as he felt himself being tugged upward by his friends.

"Aka-chin, your nose is bleeding."

Murasakibara casually said as he tossed Akashi to his shoulder and proceeded to walk away to the infirmary, the red head gave no resistance. His most favorite person saw him become pathetic. So much for earning a point.

Today for sure, he's going to talk to Kuroko Tetsuya and no one is going to stop him.

Akashi waited patiently outside Kuroko's classroom and with the aura that he's giving off, no one seems to dare approach the red head.

Kuroko appeared at the corner not a moment later and it seems that the teallette did not have enough time to fix his hair for it sticks up in random directions and he looks like he just got up from bed and rushed over just so he won't get late to class.

"Good morning,"

Kuroko was not paying attention to his surroundings that's why he's startled when a voice spoke to him. He raised his head and there he saw the red head from the neighboring class who he never talks to.

"G-good morning."

Kuroko nervously said as he locked eyes with Akashi. The conversation cut off short after that and so the red head took the initiative again,

"What a nice bed hair you have."

Akashi randomly stated.

And he instantly regrets it.

"Ummm... Uhh-"

Kuroko was in panic mode as he tried to hide his face from Akashi whilst trying to fix his wildly styled hair.

All the regret Akashi felt instantly melts when he saw how cute Kuroko is acting, he even needs to cover his face to conceal the blush that is creeping up his face.

No one, definitely no one should see Kuroko like this except him.

Although the sad thing is, he's not together with Kuroko. Yet.

"You look cute that way don't worry"

Akashi smiled when he's sure that the blush on his cheeks were gone. This instantly took Kuroko out of panic mode and instead it made him be embarrassed. Kuroko played with the hem of his school uniform as he kept his gaze low.

"Thanks."

Akashi cannot help but internally scream in his head,

'Cute'

"I... I'll have to go now, Akashi-kun. It was nice talking to you."

And with that, Kuroko immediately went inside his classroom, leaving a smirking Akashi behind him.

'I managed to talk to him today and it lasted for more than a few minutes'

Let's just say that during the whole day, the campus was weirded out with how the tyrant red emperor beamed at all of them with a good mood.

The previous day made Akashi's whole morning be the brightest one that he has had ever since.

But of course there would always be the bane of somebody's day.

Akashi was happily gazing at Kuroko's pretty face from the sidelines but what he heard was not pleasant at all,

"You never told us who you like, Kurokocchi!"

The annoyingly loud blonde friend of Kuroko's started out. Akashi's not amused by how clingy the blonde is to his precious Kuroko.

"Yeah, yeah, Tetsu-kun! Then, just tell us what your type is!"

Akashi glared at Kuroko's other friend too. It is obvious that the pink haired woman is infatuated with his Kuroko with how close she stood to him.

"G-guys please..."

Not being able to take it, Akashi got up from his place and walked away from the trio. There is no way he's going to listen to some crap as that topic.

He'd make sure that Kuroko's person of interest that is not him would suffer and feel his wrath. Or if not then he just wish that that person would have another one in their eye to leave Kuroko heartbroken so he would have a chance with him-

Okay that was too cruel.

Akashi stopped when he was just in front of their classroom. He slowly entered it with a defeated sigh.

He's definitely the worst. Wishing for something like that just to make a move on Kuroko.

He sat on his chair and stared at the ceiling, musing at the things that he has done so far for him and Kuroko to get close to each other.

So far, all he has is that morning conversation that he had with him yesterday.

Akashi is definitely getting no where with this.

The red head grumbled as he slammed his head onto the desk. He's not supposed to be this helpless. If anything, he's sure that he can make Kuroko fall head over heels for him in just a snap of a finger but then he's also considering Kuroko's feelings since he's so vague that Akashi cannot understand whether or not his moves will get them closer or would just make them rift apart more.

But then if he stalled even more, he's sure that someone would be first to confess and first to claim Kuroko.

He doesn't want that.

Nope.

Nuh uh.

Not at all.

'I want to have you all for myself'

With a jolt, Akashi stood up abruptly from his chair and hurriedly went outside with a new resolve in mind.

He's going to confront Kuroko Tetsuya.

Akashi ran outside the classroom and went on to find the blue head.

For some odd reason, even though it's the middle of the day, students are no where to be seen and it worries him that he might not be able to find Kuroko wherever he is.

Akashi ran, turned, swerved and almost hit a trashcan but he survived and at when he turned at the next corner, there he saw the messy haired slightly smaller boy.

"Kuroko!"

Kuroko's shoulders visibly tensed when he heard his name being called out but he did turn to the one who called him nevertheless.

"Akashi-kun..."

He quietly replied.

Akashi was quick to catch his breath but he noticed that his heart is still beating so loudly inside his chest.

"This classroom,"

Akashi started out. Kuroko now has his full attention at Akashi as he waits for the red head to finish speaking.

"Later at 4:10 PM in this classroom, could you wait for me?"

Akashi lets out with a little smile. He cannot say it now since someone might pop up and ruin the moment. It would be better if they set the time and date wherein they'll be alone.

Akashi waits for Kuroko's reply and after a few minutes of no response, Kuroko nodded and then he hurriedly scurried off.

The red head just hopes he has not scared Kuroko in anyway and that the blue head would come at the appointed time.

Akashi arrived at the classroom 5 minutes before the time. He gulped as he held his palm upward and drew '人' on it using his finger of the other hand before bringing it to his mouth and 'swallowing'.*

With that ritual done, he felt the nerves and rats go out of his system but the butterflies were still there.

'If you go out with me, I'd show you that I can make you smile everyday!'

Pounding his chest for reassurance, Akashi faced the door and held the knob.

'Here I go'

With a suck of his breath he opened the door and there, standing in the middle of the empty classroom was Kuroko Tetsuya, who looks stunned with Akashi's sudden entrance. Without a moment's delay, Akashi breathed in hard,

"Am I not enough?"

Note: That lucky charm is common in Japan and it is used to take the nervousness away from oneself.
