Author's Note: Hello, I am a new author on . However, I have had experience writing fanfiction at the site Asianfanfics, so I really hope I will be able to write well for this story.

Akashi received the hit well, his face barely showing any signs that it hurt, even though it must've really did.

"What is this, Seijurou? A 95 on your piano test? I would have expected better than you, son."

Akashi merely stared back into his father's orbs, rather daringly, I would say. His eyes displayed no emotion, as though he couldn't hear the words his father was uttering. Akashi couldn't feel anything, he was numb all over. Numb because of the overwhelming emotions.

"The Akashi household accepts nothing lesser than perfection. If you fail to portray perfection in everything that you do, Seijurou, I will force you to be home-schooled and I will find out what is causing you to be so unfocused."

Akashi almost flinched at the few last words, but he tried to keep himself as composed as possible.

"This is your last chance, Seijurou. Have I made myself clear?"
