Exam complications 3
Yay, long time no see, minna-san! Sorry for the long wait! Inspiration for this chapter came from my sister's first term Geography exams (from like 2 years back). Read and review, enjoy! I apologize for the long wait, I hate school and IB, but all the hard work has paid off: I'M IN UNI! WOOOOO!
Summary:
Teiko Arc - Murasakibara takes his Geography exam in his second year, unaware that there were changes made to the design of the exam compared to the previous year. Apparently, Akashi and Kuroko just love to bet on their teammates' misfortune, guess who wins this time? Akakuro.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the KuroBasu characters, nor any of their idiocy
Author's note:
I originally wanted to strangle my sister for making such a simple mistake that cost her the exam, but then realized that it was perfect material for this, so I left the whole matter there.
WARNING: DO NOT SPACE OUT AT ANYTIME DURING YOUR EXAMS WEEK! SAVE IT UP AND DO IT AFTER YOUR EXAMS HAVE ENDED!
The classroom was silent as the supervisor walked into the room, all eyes on the teacher as he wrote down the exam details on the board. Scratching noises spread through the room and filled the students sitting there with unease and tension. Well, all except for 1 student, which conveniently happens to be the one and only Murasakibara Atsushi. Apparently, it was a blazing hot day, the blue sky clear with the occasional flurry of fluffy white clouds drifting through.
Murasakibara was so engrossed in looking out the window he barely registered the teacher saying "The exam this year has been slightly modified, so you don't have to finish all 4 long questions, instead you focus on the 2 you are best at and give it all you've got."
The purple giant had his attention on the clouds faraway, fantasizing about huge lumps of cotton candy instead of the clouds floating towards him. By the time he came to his senses, the exam had already started for 5 minutes.
Since Geography was one of his better subjects, he thought he would have finished it with a quarter of the time left to spare.
Oh boy, how wrong was he.
The marks were split 4 ways evenly with each question, worth 20 marks each. With some short questions and long questions, Murasakibara could barely spare enough time for 2 questions, let alone 4. He decided to divide his time up between all 4 questions, about 20 to 25 minutes on each question, which of course was the reason for the poor quality of his answers. Unfortunately, Murasakibara never did read the front page and never realized the problem until he heard Akashi and Kuroko discussing which 2 questions they did.
Results day:
The release of the results for the Geography test found Murasakibara sulking in the corner for the rest of the week. Apparently, Akashi had banned all tidbits and snacks for the purple giant for the next 2 weeks. To everyone's surprise, the redhead himself was sulking.
Yes, the terrifying emperor is sulking adorably in the corner as well (not the same corner with Murasakibara though). Why?
Even from the past exams (and yes, chapters), the overly cute couple still hasn't learnt from their past experiences and yet again struck another bet that involves a floor strewn with dog kibble, a broom and dustbin, dirty clothes and a pair of kitty ears (don't ask).
That was the last straw for Akashi and he snapped, reverting his domineering personality to one of a sulky child, one which only Kuroko can handle.
FLASHBACK:
"No. There is no way I am accepting that thing in here. Throw it out."
"I can't believe Akashi-kun is cruel enough to throw him out, look at him."
"For the last time, we are not keeping that thing, take it away."
"He's not an it, nor a thing Akashi-kun. His name is Nigou."
"Don't name it!"
It all started when Kuroko returned home late from his library duties. On the way, he picked up a puppy abandoned on the roadside, whining pitfully in a soaked cardboard box. Having his hands full, Kuroko dried the puppy off slightly and placed him on his head, then set off for the shared apartment.
Akashi hated dogs. Period. They are dirty, disgusting, and disobedient creatures. That's why he nearly shut the dog out (along with Kuroko) when he first caught sight of the dog sprawled on top of Kuroko's head.
With a bit of negotiation (and a bit of bribery involving tofu soup), Kuroko forced Akashi to make a bet with him, albeit the latter being more than reluctant.
The bet on Akashi's benefit: Murasakibara gets a satisfactory Geography grade (above 80%) = the dog is not allowed to stay; Kuroko will be in charge of dinner for the following month with daily tofu soup; cutting off Kuroko's milkshake intake by three-quarters in the following month.
The bet on Kuroko's benefit: Murasakibara doesn't reach a satisfactory Geography grade (below 80%) = Nigou gets to stay; Akashi will be wearing cat ears for a photoshoot set up for Kuroko's eyes only; Akashi treating him to milkshakes whenever he wants one.
Nonetheless, Murasakibara had missed the mark by 7 (73%) and thus he was pulled into the antics of the Akakuro couple.
That same night, on Facebook...
