"Young master, it's already half past seven. You only have thirty minutes more to get ready."

I groaned once more, the warmth suddenly taken away from me. I tried reaching out for the covers, feeling nothing. Opening my eyes and regretting it later, I hid my face under my pillow.

"Tetsuya, get up."

"Go away Sei-kun."

"No one defies me."

"I just did."

I heard him sigh, before faint foot steps echoed in my room. Before I knew it, ice cold water made contact with my skin. and because I was on the edge, I fell on my butt, screaming colorful words. I glared at a snickering redhead. He had his phone out, taking picture. So help me God once he send that to Shin-kun. Helping myself up, I carefully avoided slipping for further embarrassments.

"Sei-kun, please stop or I might get mad." I made my to the bathroom to brush my teeth and a quick shower, before changing to my uniform.

At the dining room, father is already seated at one end, Sei on his left. I sat on his right. Silence is the only thing heard during the time. I pushed my food away after five spoons, they let it go. After all these years of trying to convince me to eat more, they gave up, knowing that I'm stubborn enough to deal with.

Before we left to school, father gave us a lecture about being winners, avoiding losers and many more. Being an Akashi, of course, the usual perfectionist in the family. Sei is ok with that, though I had to question it at times.

"Stop." Sei commanded the driver, getting off to the sidewalk. I followed suit, my eyes following the departing limo. I sighed, Sei started walking.

"Sei-kun, it's still far from the school." I whined, unmoving on my spot. He snorted, very unlikely.

"You say that because you can use misdirection to avoid people. How 'bout teaching me that so we needn't to walk this far."

The wind carried along Sakura petals, blew in our faces as we took our first steps in Teiko Middle School. The opening ceremony re bustling with people, joining clubs and such. Avoiding contact with people, I almost, almost was able to escape Sei. I should've known he'd know.

Before I could make my most dramatic exit, he grabbed my wrist firmly, smirking while muttering a 'nice try'.

Later on, I'd bump to a tan man with navy blue hair, but when he looked around to apologize, we were gone. Now, I was pulling along a rather annoyed Akashi, not the other way around.

"Sei-kun, he didn't see me."

"But still..."

"Seijuuro. Tetsuya. It's been a while."

I jerked my head towards the voice. I wondered how Shin-kun noticed me, until it dawned upon me that my lack of presence is ineffective whenever I am in physically contact with anyone or anything easily noticeable. Sei is still in his own little world though.

"It's been a while, Shin-kun." I said, in my monotonic voice. I usually talk like that whenever people around. He nodded, then eyed my twin.

"What happened to... him nanodayo?" I look over Sei, noticing that he looked like a fuse waiting to be lit.

"Oh, noting. He's perfectly fine." I pulled his arm, rather harshly. He looked at me blankly for a second, before giving me a death glare. I've been used to it over the years so it had no effect on me whatsoever, neither on Shin-kun.

"What was that for?" he asked deadly calm. He isn't the type to make a fuss over nothing, though when even pissed, he can kill you in no time with his trusty scissors. He keeps on in his pocket every day, too. He then took notice of the green head standing beside us. "Ah, Shintarou. Its nice to see you here."

They drowned themselves in their business conversations, while I was in my own little world. Sei still hadn't released that steel grip, so I had no choice but to trail along. I continued trailing, looking around for an escape, but the school seemed bus at the moment. Until a topic had caught my attention.

"I am joining the basketball club. I heard they have a pretty strong team nanodayo." Shin-kun announced, once again, pushing up his glasses with his middle finger.

"Is that so. Tetsuya and I haven't chosen a club yet. But we might try out." Sei stated, deciding for me as well.

"Huh? But I don't think I'll make it to the team..." I stated hesitantly. With my weak body, and presence, I really don't think I'll be able to even get in the third string.

"Akashi Tetsuya. What did father always say?" Sei asked, looking straight to my eyes, daring me to look away.

"That an Akashi should excel at anything and everything?" I asked myself. Sei sure hadn't heard, but he seemed satisfied of my response. If anything, it maybe even boost his want to play the sport. And there's no changing his mind now. "Fine, we will try out later."

I found myself looking at the bulletin board, looking for our classes this year. Shin-kun somehow managed to distract Sei, after all the pleading glances I gave him every now and them. The crowd of students surrounded me, talking loudly to their friends about how they had similar or different sections, they had almost managed to split my eardrums in half.

Our names were easy to find, given that we're in A.

'Akashi Seijuuro. 1-A'

'Akashi Tetsuya. 1-B'

So we're separated this year huh? I think it's time for a change anyway.

A big shadow made its way towards me. I looked up to find a purple haired giant looming over me. He was holding a bag of chips on one hand, lazy eyes scanning through the board. "Ano... excuse me." I tried to get past him, but there were still students crowded around the board.

The giant was wearing a Teiko uniform, but there was no way he's in middle school. Or am I just that small?

He looked down on me, scanning me for a second. "You're so tiny, I could crush you." Didn't like the sound of that. Monotonic voice escaped my mouth as I began to speak.

"Can you please move aside?" he didn't move, instead opened a bag of chips, munching on them, while the crumbs fall on my face. I began to get annoyed. I looked around, seeing small gaps between the crowd. As small as I am, I think I could slip in.

Looking back and forth between the giant man and the gaps, I began to move away.

I headed straight to my class, not bothering to look after my twin who is probably enjoying all the attention he got, especially from the girls, like always. It's annoying.

I took a seat near the window, no one noticed me enter the classroom either, thankfully. A few minutes later, a brunette lady came in. "Good morning class." she said, rather enthusiastically. A bunch of 'god mornings' was heard, before she spoke again. "I will be your teacher for this year. You can call me Haruka-sensei. I will now take attendance. Those called, please step forward and introduce yourselves."

With every name called, a response 'here', and an introduction.

I tuned them out, letting my own thoughts fill my mind until she called my name. "Akashi Tetsuya?"

"Here," I answered.

"Is Akashi Tetsuya here?" she called out once more. Usually, Sei will step up and answer for me, but he isn't here right now.

I walked towards the front, and for most, will magically appear beside her. "I'm right here, sensei."

Gasps and quiet yelps were heard in the room. "W-when did you get here?" she asked.

"I've been here the whole time."

It took her a moment to compose herself. "A-ah, please introduce yourself to the class."

I turned to my classmates. "My name's Akashi Tetsuya. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu." I bowed, before walking back to my seat.

The teacher began calling other names, I looked out the window. I have a feeling this year would be interesting.

Class has gone by pretty quickly, and now it's lunch. And like I predicted, Sei was outside the door, waiting. Shin-kun may say he doesn't care, but he does, judging by his actions alone. He's just a tsundere carrot.

"Tetsuya, where were you?" Sei asked, once we were in the cafeteria. I drank my vanilla milkshake peacefully.

"At school." he sighed.

"Yeah, I knew that. But you just disappeared."

"Sei-kun, that just proves that I have super powers. I can disappear and reappear anywhere, anytime."

"Seijuuro, he went to his classroom when you weren't looking. You should pay attention to your surrounding more often nanodayo." Shin-kun teased.

We chatted about random stuff, which was quiet nice since we hadn't had this for two months straight because of summer vacation. Usually, Shin-kun would pay us a visit every once in a while to play court or just slack around elsewhere, his father and ours doing business as always. But due to certain circumstances, he went to America for the rest of summer.

Time has passed, I found myself standing in front of the Teiko gym. Inside, the mixed sounds of nets swishing, shoes squeaking, whistle blowing, and the ball bouncing was heard loud and clear.

After changing, I slipped easily away from Sei, distracting myself on watching the training.

Soon enough, the coach gathered us around. "There will be four teams playing against each other. I want to see how your individual and team skills can be beneficial to the team."

He started calling out names, separating them to the four corners of the gym. I was in group A, Sei in group C, and Shin-kun in group D. I also took notice of the giant man in Sei's team. I should've known he plays basketball.

The game began, group A versing group B was first. As I thought, I failed in shooting and dribbling, by a long shot. I sighed. I should just prepare for a lecturing from father later on.

The game ended in 35-23, in our favour anyway, because of a familiar dark blue haired man. He's really skilled. A five minute break, then it's Sei and Shin-kun's match.

Sei approached me, I smiled sadly. "Told you I wouldn't make it."

"You're thinking negatively. Look, we aren't even finished yet." He laughed, gave me his bottled water, then headed towards the center.

It started with the purple head giant gaining the ball, passing it to a brunette. He passed it to Sei, which did a lay-up easily. He winked at me, which I ignored for my sanity. Team D countered in a matter of seconds, as when Shin-kun had a hold of the ball, he easily shot a three pointer. I was actually impressed when the giant scored by dunking. Not a surprise there. It ended with 41-39, in Team C's favour. Mostly because of the giant and Sei.

A couple more training menus were laid out for us, before ending.

At the locker room, Sei, Shin-kun, and I were arguing whether I'd make it or not. They insisted I will, me on the opposite end. Sei easily shut me up by saying he wouldn't tell father if I agree with them, and so I did.

We walked home together, parting ways, not before we treat ourselves to Magi Burger. It was Shin-kun's turn to treat us, for the next couple days, since he missed an awful lot of times to do so.

As I got home, I immediate plopped down Sei and I's shared bed, not minding to take off my uniform. It was an eventful day. I wonder how it'll work out for us in the future?

This is my first fanfic so I hope all of you enjoyed it and will in the next few chapters. I was just bothered by the fact that not much fanfics are written like this, so I decided to make one.

Please review, follow, favourite, I would really appreciate it. Until next time!
