Pretended Boyfriend

"Tetsuya, sorry to make you wait."

"It's not a problem, Akashi-kun. I just got here myself," said Tetsuya nodding a little while slurping his favorite vanilla milkshake.

It was late noon and MajiBurger was packed with people who just hanging out or taking their late lunch in weekend like this. Yesterday Tetsuya was invited me to this "date" in MajiBurger and as amused as I was since he had never invited me out alone before, to MajiBurger at top, I was concerned because he said he wanted to talk about something important with a serious tone, so here I am, in MajiBurger when I don't like to eat fast food. But I'm happy to be able to see my beloved Tetsuya again so I guess a little sacrificed like eating a not-good-nor-healthy-meal from this place is just a cheap bargain.

"So, what do you want to talk about today, Tetsuya?" I asked him, noticing the fidgeting he made as he was feeling so nervous. 'I don't hope it's a bad news, looking at how nervous he's been.'

Tetsuya fidgeting again, after so long, he seems to muster up his courage and looking straight up to Akashi, he blurted out,

"Akashi-kun, would you be my boyfriend?"

Akashi looks so flabbergasted and Kuroko was feeling more nervous. And then he realized what he said to that red hair boy.

"Ah.. What I meant with boyfriend is would you mind being my pretended boyfriend?"

"What do you mean by pretended boyfriend, Tetsuya?" said Akashi after a while after he composed his look.

"Well, you see, I think I'm in love with Kagami-kun. But he never noticed my feelings, so I thought I could make him jealous if I have a boyfriend."

Akashi was speechless at that. How come his Tetsuya was in love in that monkey Bakagami? When did it happen? How could he did not notice this? As painful as it is to Akashi, he knew that he could not deny Tetsuya's request.

"Akashi-kun?" Tetsuya called him with a deadpan expression.

"Ah, I'm sorry, you caught me surprised with your confession. Of course I will gladly help you with that, Tetsuya," said Akashi with smile, while plotting to kill Kagami in his mind. How dare he took away his Tetsuya.

"Thank you very much, Akashi-kun," said Tetsuya with a small smile that was more like a sad smile than happy one.

"So, how was it Kuroko?" asked Kagami with enthusiasm that did not mirrored by the person he asked.

"Good, Akashi-kun said he would gladly assist me on becoming my pretended boyfriend," said Kuroko glumly.

"It's good news then. Why did your face look like it's the end of the world?"

"He said he would gladly help me to conquer your love. Didn't it mean that Akashi-kun don't have any feelings for me?" Kuroko sighed. Their plan was a success but he did not feel a bit happy with the result. Why did not he think that if Akashi wanted to help him, it just meant that the later did not have any special feelings for him.

"You can not said that for sure, Tetsuya. I still remember the dagger stare he gave me when I hug you at time we won the winter cup. He definitely has special feelings for you, I'm sure of it," said Kagami, shivering a little as he remember the day he became aware of the redhead captain's feelings with his shadow. They clearly have feelings for each other but don't want to admit it and just created tension that make other people wary around them. That why Kagami persuaded Kuroko to launch this plan to make the two of them became closer.

"Okay, I'll trust your judgement Kagami, but if you're wrong, you realized that Nigou will be in your care for at least two weeks, right?"

"Oi… Kuroko! I said nothing but that!"

Kuroko smiled a little bit looking at his new Light bickering about how the punishment is not fair, and then he sighed again, "I hope it will resulted something good."
