Akashi was not one to show his weak side to anyone. He's a man with full of pride. He would never show any of his weakness to anyone, not even to his own family,even his friends. But unfortunately for him, he was weak to a boy named Furihata Kouki, or in other word, his lover. So, when the brunette asked him whether he wanted to go for a date after school tomorrow, with a frantic beating of his heartbeat and the blushes creeping up his face, he said yes. So, his boyfriend made a promise with him, asking for him to wait for him in front of his own school, and he would come to picked him up later.

But cursed his own self. He have a fever today, the day they will go for a date after two weeks of exams. He groaned. He turned to the right and opened his eyes slowly, trying to look at the time. It's 7:20 am. He huffed, letting out a hot breath as he felt his body a bit heavy today. He feel so sluggish and lazy that he doesn't feel like going to school today. He really wanted to stayed at home and sleep,while cuddling with his lover. Lover. Upon that one word, he forced himself to get up and get ready for school. He don't care in what condition he's in right now, meeting with his lover is what he really wanted right now. Just as he was about to set his foot on the floor, he felt dizzy that he almost fall back down on the bed.

"Ugh.. my head feel so heavy.."

He don't know why, but he feel somehow emotional. His eyes start to become teary on their own.

"Kouki... " He sniffed.

"Akashi-sama?" There's a knock on his door. "Are you already awake?"

He controlled himself and collect back his composure. "Yes."

"Breakfast and the bath are ready."

"Yes, thank you."

"Is there anything you want?"

"No, you can go."

"Yes."

Upon hearing the footsteps on the outside slowly, gradually fade, he let out another yet sighed as he bring up his hand to massage his head a little bit. It was not a lie when he said his head feel really heavy.

" Hey Akashi, are you okay?" Mibuchi asked the red hair as he noticed the quiet boy beside him. Not that he's a talkative one, but his quietness today was not the usually quiet he was every day.

"Yea, I'm okay."

"Really? you seems kind of unusual today though."

"What kind of unusual is that?"

"That," He pointed at the sweat appearing on Akashi's forehead. "...you're sweating a lot today."

"Hmm.."

"Akashi-"

"I'm going to my class now,see you later." Akashi said as he walked along the hallway to his class. He really need to rest his head. It's getting too much. The dizziness is too much for him to handle when he was standing. He decided to take a nap as soon as he sit on his seat, so when it's the time for his date with his Kouki, he will feel a whole lot better.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was surprised when he looked there was no one in the class at all. The students bags also are not in the class too. He sit up straight and turned to his left, only to see the sky had turned orange. He gasped. Kouki. Their date. He start to packed up all his things, and realized there's a note on his table under his text book.

Akashi-san, this is the homework for today ...

"Ugh..." He groaned and take the small piece of paper and rolled it up,putting it in his pencil case. "Can't the teachers give a break? we just finished our exams.." He zipped up his bag and slung it on his shoulders, before he staggered a bit as he stand up from his seat. He stabilize back his balance and proceed to walked out from the class. "It seems that my fever is still here.." He sighed. As he was walking slowly towards the school grounds, he took his phone out and checked on the time. It's 5:35 pm. He frowned. "Kouki said his school ended at 4, so... he still have about an hour. "

He stopped as he think. It was too early to waited for him in front of the school, and it would only make his legs tired standing too long. " I guess I'll wait at the cafeteria and do my homework then." He slowly walked down the stairs and headed for the cafeteria. He find himself a seat beside the large see through glass, so that he can see if his boyfriend are here or not from inside. Just as he sat down on the chair, he felt really tired from the 10 minutes of walking. It really does take on his toll, just to get to the cafeteria from his class. He felt his eyelid become heavy again and he felt cold, really cold. He plopped down his head, facing the school gate, on the table as his arms acted as a support and closed his eyes. He pulled his school's jacket to cover himself, and curled himself into a not-perfect-ball. "Kouki... faster."

40 minutes later. . .

Akashi opened his eyes and the first thing he was trying to look for is his lover, but.. what he saw was nothing. There was no one in front of the school's gate. He frowned as once again, he become emotional like when he was in the morning. "Kouk-" His eyes widen as he felt a cold finger pressed on his forehead, in the middle of the eyebrows.

"What are you frowning for?"

He know that voice. He quickly whipped his head to look at the front, only to see a pair of brown orbs starring at him with a small smile hanging on his face. He can feel his own heartbeat racing and the tears welling up in his eyes. "K-Kouki?"

"Hey, Prince charming-san."

He can't helped but to blushed at that name. He straightened up his back, making the cold finger slip off from his forehead. He took out his cellphone and look at the time. It's 6:05 pm. He looked back up at his lover. "You're early..."

"By 15 minutes?" Furihata chuckled. " My school ended quite early,15 minutes before 4, I think? and..." Unexpectedly, there was a blush on his face. "..well, I kind of rush straight away to the station.." He scratched his cheek in embarrassed.

"A-ah.. r-really?"

They both blushed as both trying not to meet with each other gaze. It suddenly become quiet around them. They both didn't know how to acted at this time, before Furihata actually remembered why did he come to Kyoto today, despite he have school tomorrow. He stand up from the chair and hold out his hand to his lover. "Um.. Akashi-san, let's go?"

Akashi raised an eyebrow at that gestured. "W-where?"

"To our date. I did said that today is going to be our date."

"A-ah.. y-yeah."

"So?"

"W-what?"

Furihata move a bit his hand that he was holding out to Akashi. At this,Akashi totally get what did the brunette meant. He reached back to hold onto that inviting hand and gripped on it tightly as he smiled sheepishly. Though he have a fever right now, just seeing the brunette really did some unknown miracles to his body. They walked out of the cafeteria hand in hand and their shoulders touched with each other. "Your hand are cold, Kouki. I like it.."

"E-eh? r-really?"

He nodded, and he can feel his boyfriend tighten up his grips on his hand. "So, where do we want to go?"

"It's a secret." Furihata flashed him a grinned. "But, I can give you a hint, I guess."

"What?"

"For now, our first destination is the bus station."

"Bus station?"

He turned to look on his right and he can see the confused face on his red hair lover. He chuckled, "Ahh.. he's so cute. Does he even realize that?. .." He nodded. "Yup. Bus station."

For about eleven minutes of walking, they both reached the bus stop and to their luck, the bus that they had to ride come at that exact moment. Seeing this, Furihata jogged to catch up with the bus, dragging Akashi behind with him. They got in the bus and waited for a moment as there was three people in front of them payed up for their ticket.

"Ah.." Akashi eyes widen at the sudden realization that they indeed have to pay for their's too. Just before he tried to take out his wallet from his back pocket, there heard two *beep*beep* from the scanner.

"I'll pay for us." Furihata smiled and once again drag him to find an empty seat in the bus. He mumbled as he didn't even see any empty seat, but he was wrong. There was indeed an empty seat three rows from the back. He quickly move to that seat. "Here, Akashi-san. You can sit." He let go of the red hair's hand, only to pushed him to sit on the single empty seat.

At this, it managed to make Akashi blushed furiously that he started to feel dizzy for a bit. He looked up at his lover,whose standing beside of him, facing him. "B-but you? you're the one who should sit, since you've just arrived-"

"It's okay."

"But-"

"I would rather give my seat to my lover."

Again, he does think that the blushed was really hard to go away from him. He looked down on his lap, before he turned to his left side and watched the scenery on the outside, that the bus passed by. "Ah..this is bad. I feel sleepy again.."

"Ah!" Furihata eyes widen as he remembered something. He slide off one of his bag's strap and unzipped his bag, rummaged for something. He bring out a red scarf. He looked at his lover,whose he obviously noticed how sleepy and sluggish he was today. He know why was that, but he just keep quiet about it. He leaned forward and untied the black tie around his lover neck, before he wrapped the red scarf on him instead. He wrapped it two times,and arranged it smartly on the other's neck.

Again, Akashi was taken by surprised. He snapped his head to the right. "Kouki?"

"You look pretty with a red scarf. It match with you hair color."

"I-I..."

"I'll keep your tie with me."

Ah,he think if he stayed with this boy longer,the brunette will totally over took his soul and heart away from his own body. His brunette lover is so sweet and a gentleman too, not to mention. How could he not meet with this boy sooner? "T-thank you.." He bring up his hand and touched the scarf as he buried his mouth inside of it. He smiled. "It's... warm."

"Is it okay?"

"Yes."

He heard the other sighed in relieved and heard he zipped up his bag back and slung back on his shoulder. "Thank goodness. I was worried that you will get a rash or something, since your skin is quite sensitive."

"I.. it didn't." He glanced up and he can see his lover smiled sweetly at him. He really wanted to talked and accompanied the other longer, but his urge to sleep is stronger than him.

Furihata whose noticed that his lover eyes keep on close and open, just chuckled. He let go one of his hand from the hand rail, only to pulled Akashi's head to lean on his body. "It's okay, you can sleep for awhile. I'll wake you up later. But... it was just for about 8 minutes,though."

"Kouki..."Akashi nuzzled on the other's body and bring up his hand to gripped on the other's black Seirin school uniform.

Eight minutes passed and they already reached their destination. Furihata looked at Akashi and gently shake him up by the shoulder. He noticed that his lover only open half of his eyelids, as he trying hard to sleep back. He chuckled. "Sorry Akashi-san, even if I wanted to let you sleep, I can't. Come on." He reached for his lover's hand and pulled him up, dragging him out from the bus.

"A-ah.. s-sorry, Kouki."

"It's okay."

Akashi rubbed on his eyes, trying to get a clear vision on to where they're right now. His eyes widen in surprised at the big structure of the building, and the signboard near the entrance.

Kyoto Aquarium

He gasped. He turned to looked at the boy on his left. "What is this?"

"Well..." He can see that the brunette are blushing. He chuckled softly and that manage to grabbed his lover's attention.

"Ahh..he really..." He smiled softly and grip on the other's hand tightly. "Thank you. Let's go."

"Y-yeah!" Furihata looked away from the enticing heterochromatic eyes. They begin to walked to the entrance.

"But.. Kouki, isn't passed 5:00 pm already? why are they still open?"

"Ah, well.. I heard that they're doing a special event for today. To show their gratitude to the people who had been coming here and keep this place alive." They stepped in, and there was really a lot of people from different town as well. "Woah..! it's really beautiful!"

"Yes, it is indeed."

They both started to look on every one of each live sea creatures at there, moving from one place to another. While they're totally enjoying this, Furihata can't helped but to always glanced at his lover for every each five minutes. He wore a pained expression on his face, as he observed the red hair. He can't stopped himself from sighed every time he did it.

"Hey, isn't that Rakuzan high uniform?"

"Where?"

"It really is! woah! their uniform really does look high class,not like us.."

"Hey, let's try to get closer and look at his face! I heard they're many handsome boys from that school!"

"Ah! there's from Seirin too!"

Akashi can't helped but scoffed. "Typical girl." He tighten his hold's on the brunette's hand. Ah, the other hand really are cold. So is this place. He shivered, feeling cold sensation hit him to his bones. His body trembled a bit at this. He prayed that his boyfriend wouldn't noticed it, as he don't want the other to get worried and rushed him to go home. He don't want that, because he wanted spend his time, as long as they can together. He turned his body towards his lover and closer their gap, trying to get as close as possible, trying to get the warmth his lover possessed. "Kouki-"

"Ah, Akashi-san. I want to go to the toilet first, can you stay here for awhile?"

"W-what? o-okay."

He don't know why, but his chest tightened at this. He reluctantly let go of his lover's hand. He watched as the brunette disappeared through the crowd and fade from his sight in just 30 seconds. He sighed both in disappointed and relieved. Disappointed that he have to part away from his lover, and relieved because it seems that his dizzy turned more worse, and he didn't want the other to notice it. He walked towards one of the large cylinder aquarium and looked at the small colorful fishes swimming in there. Through the glass, he can see that his breath let out a puffed of hot air as it huffed at the glass. He closed his eyes, trying to rest even for a bit before his lover returned. Just as he was about to rest his mind, there was a voice, a girl, talking to him. He opened one of his eyes and looked at the girl with 0% interest.

"Oh! you're Akashi Seijuro, right?!"

"Ehh! it can't be! what are you doing here?!"

"Kyaa~! ne ne, are you alone? let's walk together!"

They keep on talking to him for a good-bad 5 minutes. And he decided, he are annoyed much by it.

"Leave me alone." He glared at the three girls, and he did successfully scared them off as he watched they retreated back to where he had seen them. As he turned his head towards the direction where he last saw the brunette walked, he see one thing he don't want to even imagined it would happened.

One girl, a cute one, are talking to his boyfriend. HIS BOYFRIEND. And not to mentioned, the girl looked really really close to Furihata's type. They were talking happily, well at least the girl is smiling, and blushing. The girl totally had feelings for his boyfriend. He clenched tight his hands. His chest feel hurt, really really hurt. It feel suffocated, it making him hard to breath. He gasped as he feel his warm tears rolling down his cheeks. He wanted to interfered and snatched the boy from the girl and kept him only to himself, but shit, his dizziness come back and he can't even hold it anymore. He really need to close his eyes and rest. He hated himself. How could he sleep when his boyfriend seeming like slowly start to fade from his mind. "K...Kouki.." and all turned black as he landed with a loud thud on the floor.

Akashi opened his eyes, only to looked at a pair of brown orbs staring at him in worried. "K-Kouki?" He can heard his voice are hoarse.

Instead of flashing him a bright smile, Furihata flashed a disappointed and hurt smile at him. "Hey,wake up already?"

"I-I.."

"You fainted in the aquarium."

"I-I..d-did?" Upon remembering the last scene he saw before he blacked out, he immediately sit up and distant himself away from his lover. And then, that's when he just realized something. They're not in the aquarium anymore, they're already outside. Instantly he felt guilty. "..sorry.."

"For what?"

"For r-ruining our date."

"And?"

He was taken a back at that. He looked up to his right, the other had a serious face on him. "What and?"

"I don't know. Think for yourself, Seijurou."

STAB

His heart felt like it was stabbed by a sword. That tone. He's not a fool, not to noticed and know that kind of tone. Again, he apologized. "I.. I can't helped it."

"Help what?" Furihata raised his voice and stand up from there, standing in front of his lover with an annoyed face.

Getting this kind of treatment, really did as thought as putting a salt on the wound. He can't hold himself back anymore. So he burst out, with tears rolling down his cheeks, dizziness swirling inside of his head and emotional feelings that he have today, plus with the anger he felt when the girl talked to his lover. "You're the one to talk!"

Furihata eyes widen in shocked as he witnessed a mess Akashi Seijuro in front of him.

"Don't YOU have something to tell me and apologize to?! You were cheating on me, aren't you?!"

"I-I'm what?"

"I saw you talking happily with that short haired girl! She was blushing the whole time you both talked to each other! You both already know each other long ago, right?! You lied to me when you said you want to go to the toilet! Instead of going there, you met with her!"

"Seijuro, stop! what are you-"

"You bring me here, you asked for a date today because you wanted to break up with me, isn't?! as soon as possible!"

"Seijurou! stop! do you even know what are you saying?!"

"I know-!"

"Don't make a sudden deduction like that! " He raised his voice, both looking at each other.

Akashi are totally regretting his actions right now. Why did he even have to be so emotional today? He looked down on his lap. He sure, so sure that the brunette will take his bag and leave him right here and never turned his back to looked at him again. He gripped on his pants. "Ah.. Kouki are going to hate me now.." He bit his lower lips, trying to hold in his tears.

It continued on for about ten minutes.

Furihata sighed in exhausted. He unzipped his school uniform and take it off, draping it over his lover's head. He kneeled down in front of Akashi and bring up his hands to cupped his lover's face, tilting it up so that their eyes met. "Are you okay now?" He used his both thumbs to stroke the white cheeks slowly.

"K-Kouki..!" Akashi eyes widen and it was shaking a bit as he stares back in the brown orbs. He nodded, but was confused as to why did his boyfriend draped his school uniform on top of his head.

Guessing what's on the red hair's mind, Furihata answered, "You're a man with a full of pride, Seijurou. You're Akashi's. Do you want others to laugh and make fun of you when they see this side of you?" He paused and observed his lover's expression. "I know you hate to show people your weakness, that's why."

"I-I.."

"But... why did you included me in the 'others' too? aren't I'm your boyfriend, Seijurou?"

Again, Akashi heart swelled at this. He nodded. He wanted to speak, but it's hard for him when his heart ache this much.

"Then, why didn't you say anything that you had a fever?"

His eyes widen at this, how did the brunette know? He choked on his tears. "H-how-"

"What boyfriend would I be, if I didn't know you had a fever?"

"I-I'm..sorry.."

"Please, at least show it to me."

"K-Kouki..." He spread his thigh a bit and pulled his lover into a hug, as he continued to sobbed. Ah, how could he be so selfish? He indeed a prideful man, but does he even have to hide his weakness from his own lover? he was wrong when he included the boy in front of him in the 'others' too. His lover even tried to pretend that he didn't know nothing just to keep his pride on with him, even now, shielding his crying mess face with his own school uniform. "I-I'm so sorry, Kouki.."

"I'm hurt, Seijuro." Furihata paused, "..but, I know that you're aware of your family's title." He wrapped his arms around the other's body. They stayed like that for a few moments, before he opened back his mouth, asking, what make Akashi suddenly get over to 'that' topic. He pulled away, but keep his arms around the other's waist. "Tell me about before."

Hearing this, make Akashi blushed furiously as it reflected back on his stupidity. He shake his head. "Nothing."

"Tell me."

He take a deep breath before he let it out softly.

"I.. I saw you talked with that girl, and you both looked really happy. And.. s-she was really close to your ideal type.."

"My ideal type?"

"D-don't you like cute and innocent girl? She.. has both of that. And.. she was and is a girl. If only I-"

" ' If only I was like that' ? Is that it?"

He just keep quiet.

"First of all, I didn't lied to you. I did go to the toilet, it just after that she come to talk to me. She did said that she likes me."

"S-see-!"

"And no, I told her."

".But, didn't you l-like t-that type of-.."

"But you're innocent and cute too. Except that you're a boy. "

"No. I'm not even both of that. Especially innocent, I'm not even near that." He sighed. He bring up one of his hand and touch his left eyes, which was his emperor side. " I hate this. If only I didn't have this eyes, then I would be like a normal people. I would-"

"What are you saying, Seijurou?" Furihata chuckled at this. "See, you're cute. Just look at what you're rambling right now, and the nonsense you're saying when you're jealous." He stroke the red hair's cheeks gently, lovingly, as the other leaned into the touch. Again, he chuckled. " This is what makes you even cuter than those girl.." He smiled softly. "You do have innocent part of you Seijurou. Look, "He pull away his right hand from the cheek, and cover Akashi's left eyes. "With this red ruby eyes, there's prove that you did have innocent side in you. "He paused, before he continued it back. "While this one," He move his hand only to cover the right's eyes. "This is what make you different. "He stopped and he noticed the other was blushing beet red. "And don't hate on those eyes, they're beautiful." He put down his hand and grab at the back of the other's head and tilted it a bit. " And this what make me choose you, love you." He leaned in and kiss his lover on the lips,deepening the kiss, as to throw away the insecure feeling his lover had.

Akashi didn't know when, in between those words, he begin to cried back. He even was taken aback at the sudden incoming kissed the other initiated. But it's not that he hated it, he loved it. He kissed back, accepting the assurance his lover offered. He gripped at his lover's shoulder, making the shirt wrinkled. But he didn't care, the school already long over.

They kissed, involving their tongues, holding it for 7 minutes long even without pulling apart.

But Akashi, being in the condition he's in, he gasped for air and his face turned even redder. Saliva dripping down his chin as well at the sides of his mouth. He pushed Furihata a bit. "K-Kouki,I-I can't breathe.." He tried to reasoned, but the other keep on shutting him with his lips until it reached to 10 minutes. They pulled away, his lips is swollen in deep red. "I-idiot! I told you to stop!"

" Sorry, you're too cute tonight."

If it was possible, there was probably a hot steam evaporate from his head. He dropped his head on his lover's shoulder. "Kouki, you're cold.."

Upon hearing this statement, just then Furihata remembered that his lover was having a fever. He cursed. With the amount of the intensity thet gave in that 10 minutes ago,definitely already taking on his toll. His eyes caught the big clock in the middle of the tower at the other side of the road. It show 9:05 pm. "Hey, I'll send you home, okay?"

"Emm.."

"Then, let's go-"

"C-can you stay? T-today, my parents will not be at home until next week."

"Sure. I guess I can skip school tomorrow and informed Kuroko about this. Besides, tomorrow is Friday, I have weekends to support me too."

"And..the reasons to s-stay longer?"

"If you want me to." He unwrapped his arms and lift himself up from the ground, dusting off the dirt on his pants. He grabbed his backpack and slung it on his shoulders. "I'll flag down a taxi, so that you can rest. Your fever indeed is high. It was too hot when we kiss."They both walked towards the taxi's stop hand in hand, slowly.

"I love you, Kouki,"

...

"Love you too, Seijurou."

"And.. I really am sorry for ruining our date today. I-"

"It's okay. We have weekends to make it up for it."

Akashi smiled and leaned his head on Furihata's shoulder. "Yeah.."
