This Time

Author's Note: I'm back. For some odd reason, my brain won't let me be until I post a new story so…here it is. I wrote this in one of my notebooks at school. LOL.

The love triangle here is , of course, AkashixKurokox? The third party is quite an unexpected person so… Hahaha. Surprise, surprise. Enjoy

Disclaimer: Kuroko no Basket is not mine (though, I'd love to have it).

"Let go Tetsuya…" the redhead took the prying hands of the sobbing tealhead in a firm grip and put them down as gently as he possibly could, "I need to do this".

Kuroko's head was facing downwards, letting the floor catch some of the salty tears from his bloodshot eyes. His shaky hands, which are now placed at his sides, still bore the silver ring that was supposed to promise serendipity. Bullshit.

"You have a choice, Seijuuro-kun," Kuroko looked him in the eyes, which caused the redhead to look elsewhere. Akashi had moments when, even he, didn't know how to respond and right now was one of them; he absolutely hates it. "Tetsuya, I don't think I do".

Kuroko could only look at him with great disbelief. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He never knew Akashi could be this …heartless. He laughed bitterly at the thought, earning the worried gaze of a pair of usually calculative eyes.

"So Seijuuro-kun, you're just gonna end it like this?" when he got no response, he laughed another bitter laugh that was much more saddened than the last one. He cannot deny the amusement that he felt; Akashi Seijuuro, the renowned CEO and notorious cassanova, was an absolute idiot when it came to the matters of the heart.

"I have my priorities," Akashi grabbed his coat and abruptly turned, "this was a waste of my time," he added as he approached the limosine waiting for him outside their supposedly shared house. Each step was agonizing, taking a little bit of Kuroko's sanity everytime his lover neared the car.

"Five years," Akashi stopped in his tracks. "You played me for five years and you even gave me this-" Kuroko removed the ring with shaky hands and threw it on the tiled floors. Akashi just continued to walk as the clanking of the discarded object resounded "-fucking ring!". Akashi froze at that and promptly faced his furious lover. Kuroko's tears continued to spill while he waited for the other's reply. Realizing that he could no longer stomach seeing his lover in such a devastating state; Akashi could only fake a look of indifference, "I suppose you could say that."

Then he completely left just before Kuroko's knees gave way and left him a sobbing mess on the cold floors. He cried his heart out before he finally succumbed to the solace of sleep.

When morning came, an unsuspecting figure stumbled upon the tealhead when he came to visit. The doors were left open carelessly and he came looking for Kuroko within the house when he happened to come across his unconscious form instead. In his panic, he immediately carried him princess style to his car and sped off to the nearest hospital.

After he has ascertained that Kuroko was, in fact, just in deep sleep out of exhaustion, he brought his sleeping former teammate to his mansion. He was then greeted by a monotonous "Welcome back master" by a long line of chamber maids and coat-tailed butlers.

He earned strange looks from them when he just gave a small nod to acknowledge them as he carried the sleeping form of Kuroko with little effort but great caution. "I will be in my room, tell father that I'll be absent for dinner," which was then replied by a simultaneous "Yes, sir". Then he proceeded to go up the flight of stairs to his room.

He put the sleeping tealhead down gently. He stared at the ethereal beauty in front of him and sat beside him. The smaller man was just so captivating. He swept the strayed hair away from the sleeping face of his long unrequited crush. The slight shift of the younger male made him retract his hand.

"You're finally awake Kuroko," he continued to play with the other's hair. Finally adjusting to the darkness of the room; Kuroko's eyes widened by a fraction when he came to recognize the person before him.

"Ah, Midorima-kun?"

A/N: There you have it. Yeaaaaaaaaa, I'm a big fan of MidoKuro hahahaha.

I know, it's weird (but it's seriously adorable) I have written 3 out of 4 chapters of this particular story already. Should I post the rest? Leave a review, it motivates me

See you next time.
