Akashi POV

My name is Akashi Seijuurou, I supposed that some of you is already aware of that, currently a senior studying in Rakuzan High and it will only be a few months before I finally turn 18.

Ever since I was five and studying at Teikou Kindergarten, I came to love our kindergarten teacher, who goes by the name of Kuroko Tetsumi.

I would suggest that you stop looking at me that way before something quite atrocious would commence. Tetsumi was just a third year student back then, teaching us was just a job provided by her homeroom teacher as to let her get acquainted to the kindergarten environment, seeing as she plans on becoming a full time teacher once she graduates. It is a merely 13 years age gap.

I told you to stop didn't I? Are you defying me? Akashi Seijuurou? I often catch a glimpse of lovers who looks like they're parent and child so my argument is perfectly valid, it is not much of an age difference.

I'm absolute so I would suggest you to be silent as I narrate you my story.

Or would you prefer me to silence you instead?

I was five when I first truly confessed to Tetsumi, I still clearly remember how smooth her cheeks were when they are in the possession of my small hands, the chaste kiss that I planted on her lips, how I firmly said that I love her more than anything and how I witness, for the first time, the blush that bloomed on her normally pale face.

Being a naïve 5 year old that I was, I was ascertained that the relationship between me and Tetsumi would progress after that but I miscalculated, for Tetsumi was keen to ignore my presence since then. The same treatment happened every day and went on for years even after I graduated and started attending elementary school.

It didn't help that out of all my friends, I stopped calling them my underlings by the time I entered Junior High, I am the only one that she avoided like a plague. I would not blame it on the proposal I made to her years ago, I was taught to do whatever means to gain possession on whatever I wanted, and one of them was her, the most important one was and still her.

Often times when I see her with Ryouta clinging to her, Daiki telling her stories about his recent 'adventure', Shintarou asking her to read a book with him and Atsushi pleading for her to give him a snack. I would feel this constriction in my chest, my gaze would be green, filled with envy. I immediately confirmed that I was indeed jealous and most of the time thought about showing Tetsumi who she really belongs to without a slight ounce of hesitation but I prevented myself for doing that. I still love Tetsumi and hurting her would be the last thing that I would willingly do.

Still, I can't avoid the close to over-brimming jealousy I feel whenever she directs her smile, the one that was originally meant for me, to her friend, whom I found out to be Ogiwara Shigehiro, Tetsumi's childhood friend. I swallowed it all in, silently and in anguish.

Years have passed and I turned 15, with Tetsumi being 28 now, it is a wonder why she's still not married. From the conversations that I happen to overhear, her excuse was that she was happy to be teaching her students and see each one of them as her own child.

Then, did you see me as your own son too, Tetsumi?

I graduated as the top student in the whole school, which is expected of me. Shintarou can try as hard as he can but he will never defeat me. I do not know defeat after all.

If I would be totally honest with myself, I would confess that I actually tasted utter and absolute defeat back when Tetsumi started to ignore me but I was not so I do not know defeat.

I accepted the application form given by Rakuzan High, a school located in Kyoto and is significantly far from Teikou which is located in Tokyo. It was unwise of me but I considered the saying that 'Distance makes the heart grow fonder'.

The Generation of Miracles, as they dubbed me, Shintarou, Atsushi, Daiki and Ryouta, have decided to attend different schools too. I can still remember how loud Ryouta wailed in our graduation because he would be separated from 'his lovely Kurokocchi' which made Daiki hit him hard on his head eventually making the stupid blonde cry louder.

I stayed for a bit to say goodbye to everyone, except for Tetsumi, whom I refused to meet, and before travelling to Kyoto.

A few months later, I started high school and excelled at everything like I'm supposed to. I haven't even met Tetsumi at least once, well that will change today.

I stand in front of my old school, briefly allowing myself to feel nostalgic about how it didn't change in the slightest bit although thirteen years had passed. I came here once I found out from her mother, Tetsumi was still my neighbor after all these years, that she's still working here and still single.

I also came to know how she dated her childhood friend, Ogiware Shigehiro, I thought with malice, for a while before breaking things off. They were better of as friends as it may seem.

That doesn't change the fact that Tetsumi dated someone other than me, someone who is not worthy enough to be by her side.

I would show her that I'm the only one that she would ever want and need, I'm the only one who would shower her with love and will always keep her safe.

I figured it all out after all, the little slip from her mother made me assemble all the facts together.

"Ara, Sei-chan, it's nice to see you again. My oh my, what a fine young man you are now, I'm sure Tet-chan would like you more even now." Tetsumi's mother greeted me as soon as the door opened.

"It's nice to see you too, Kuroko-san, I see, you still look as dashing as ever." I said that with a smile as I bowed towards my future mother-in-law.

"Oh my Sei-chan, you have grown to be more charming than before! Oh would you like some tea? Come in, please. It was rude of me to keep you outside. Tet-chan's working now by the way." Her mother gushed, I already had her approval it may seem, now to only get Tetsumi to admit her feelings for me.

"My apologies Kuroko-san but I came here originally to talk to your daughter, if you don't mind me asking about her current workplace, I would like to know where she is right now. Do pardon my intrusion." I politely rejected her offer, keen on seeing Tetsumi as soon as I can.

Her mother's eyes softened. "I see, you still have feelings for my Tet-chan haven't you? I can tell that my daughter has the same feelings, she was just too strict and in denial to admit it, silly girl, she never believed that I know her far more that she knows herself. She actually has an album filled of photos of you and her, mostly you though, kept in what she thought to be a secret place. Don't tell that I know about it though, she might move it to somewhere else." She chuckled good naturedly. "Even dating Shigehiro-kun didn't change the fact that she has feelings for you. Silly girl indeed right?"

As if someone reminded her, she was brought out from her ramblings. "Oh! Sorry, I made you wait and listen to this old lady's ramblings. Tet-chan still works at Teikou Kindergarten, Sei-chan." A coy smile was evident on her face when she added "She might be waiting for someone to take her away?"

I mirrored her smile as I thanked her. "I appreciate it Kuroko-san and it was my pleasure to meet and talk to you again. If you'll excuse me, I need to go. I believed that I kept the princess waiting for too long."

Her smile widened at that as she bid me best wishes. "I wish you luck Sei-chan! Bring my daughter back to her senses for me okay? And I give you my blessing to marry Tet-chan."

I smiled again at that, bowing as I left the household with one thing on my mind.

That is to make her admit that she abhors feelings for me.

"S-sei-kun? What are you doing here?" Tetsumi looked actually surprised when she saw me, in all my glory, standing in front of the door of her homeroom.

"Tetsumi. It's good to see you again." Was what I replied as I enveloped the said woman in a tight hug, I grew taller since three years ago, now towering over Tetsumi's small figure. She tried to struggle though, but my firm hold kept her in place.

"I missed you." I whispered in her ear, eliciting a shiver from the usually apathetic girl.

"Sei- I mean, Akashi-kun, can you please let me go? I have to go to my next class." She tried to squirm away from my grasp again, resulting to me tightening the grip more.

"Akashi-kun? How cold of you Tetsumi-sensei" I let myself nibble her ear before releasing her.

"Meet me after work, we need to talk." As I said that, I looked at her for a moment before making my way out of the premises.

Seeing the blush blooming on her face just like 13 years ago gave me a huge boost right in my confidence.

It made me repeat what I said before, indeed, I'm already a grown man and Tetsumi would surely see me as such. Just a little more…

I heard the bell ringing to announce the end of the classes as well as the end of Tetsumi's work for the day. It took her exactly nine minutes before she exited the kindergarten and made her way towards me.

"Akashi-kun, what is it that you want to talk about?" She asked flatly.

"As blunt as ever Tetsumi." I attempted to lighten up the conversation but it seems that the young lady was not in favor of that.

"Please stop beating around the bush Akashi-ku-"

"Sei-kun." I interrupted her.

"Huh?" She glanced at me curiously.

"That's what you call me am I wrong? Call me that again and I just might tell you the reason I came here." I negotiated.

"Fine. Then, Sei-kun, what is it that you want?" My, she's fairly submissive today isn't she?

"Aren't you being a little too submissive? I might end up attacking you." I informed her of my thoughts.

Which seemed to agitate her as she refused to reply.

"Do you love me?" I should just be blunt, since it is what she requested for.

"What?" She actually looked at me like I've grown another head. The gall of this woman.

"I asked you if you love me." I repeated slowly, so that she can completely comprehend my words.

"If this is about you're infatuation with me when you were younger I suggest y-"

"Infatuation you say?" I interrupted her yet again.

"Thinking only of you the moment I wake up and by the time I went to bed every single day isn't really what you can call infatuation, not even so much as to glance at another woman other than you for 13 years isn't what you can call infatuation either, feeling this strong urge to take your hand in marriage since I was 5 of course, isn't what you can call infatuation."

I closed the gap between us, wrapping my arms around her waist as I inhale the scent as bask in the warm that I had missed so much.

"Loving you the way that I do, needing you like I'm a dying man and you're the only cure, waiting for you to accept my feelings and yours for this long isn't what you can call infatuation Tetsumi." I grasped her tighter, willing for her to finally take my words seriously.

"Tell me, can you call all that a word as shallow as a mere infatuation? I'm a grown man now Tetsumi and I still want you as much as I do when I was a child." I ended my speech with my head buried in her delectable neck.

It took a while for Tetsumi to finally reply.

"That's the main reason why…" She started, though I want to ask her to further elaborate, I waited patiently. What's a few minutes to 13 whole years anyways.

"The reason why I ignored you for years, the reason why I had rejected your advances…"

"Hmm." I just hummed, burying my face more into the warm confines of her neck which amusingly had a faint smell of vanilla.

"As you said, you're a grown man now Sei-kun. You are perfect and many girls who are far better than me are after you. You could simply ask them for a date and they'll be already imagining their wedding with you." She gave a light chuckle at that but I could hear her voice nearly breaking.

"You could do so much better. I'm just an ordinary woman with no redeeming features that is meant to live a normal life. I'm sorry that I may have slipped a bit and treated you more fondly than the others, it was my mistake. A mistake that led to this, you loved me because I was nice to you, because I showered you with love and you want to shower me with the same love." Her voice broke as I could feel the tears dripping down her chin wetting my hair but I paid it no mind, prompting to just tighten my hold on her. I would let her say everything that she wanted to say, let her liberate everything the she hold on for years, let her unchain every feeling that she felt.

"I love you. I love you, I always did and I find myself hating that fact. My love for you made you feel obligated to love me back. I'm sorry for that Sei-kun. I tried to atone for that by ignoring you. I even tried to date my childhood friend so that I can somewhat forget you but they were all futile, I guess I really love you this much." She managed to choke out before falling completely silent.

I waited for a minute if she would add anything more, before raising my head to look at her straightly as I also raised my hand to wipe the tears streaming down her beautiful face.

"Tears doesn't suit someone as lovely as you Tetsumi." I said that as I wipe the final tear away.

"You may be right, I could do much better but how can I continue do to better when I already done my best?" Tetsumi was seemingly shocked at my confession.

"How can I look for something more when all that I wanted to find is currently right in front of me?" Tears started to fall again, I quickly wiped them away before they made their way lower.

"Tetsumi, can you, at least this once if you can't do it all the time, believe me when I said I love you? I believed that I only said I love you not with a 'just because' and clearly not with a 'I have to'. I said I love you and that is all. I don't need other girls, fine, let's pretend that you really don't possess any redeeming qualities but that wouldn't make me love you any less. I keep on telling you my feelings for years now, do you think that I would be this dedicated for something that I see as a mere duty? And to what? To pay you back for you kindness? Don't think of me as someone that nice Tetsumi." I added with a whole hearted chuckle. Does Tetsumi sees me as some perfect prince charming? I flatter people and charm them to make them succumb to what I want and not the other way around.

"I say the right words to manipulate people and obviously not to make someone feel happy. Can't you see how selfish I truly am Tetsumi?" I stated this so that Tetsumi can finally realize that, all this time, I was not doing this for her, I was doing this for myself, to obtain what I want.

"Yes, you really are a great manipulator Sei-kun, you even managed to completely manipulate my heart." She finally smiled. I guess she accepted it now.

All those years of patiently waiting finally paid off, for I have what I truly want in my arms and I would die or go as far as to kill first before I would let her go again.

Remember what I told you before, how the only one worthy of Tetsumi's love is none other than me and only me? See how all of it is right? How did I know that? Because my words are absolute.

Kinda like a crappy sequel uwo but I just want to put an end to the Kuroko-sensei series since I kinda left it hanging, if you feel that it was good as it is then please forget that this sequel ever existed xDD gomen nasai. I might make another more, with them married and all, oops did I spoil you? Gomen nasai.

I'm sorry if it disappointed you ORZ.

Laters~
