The second chapter of my AU in which Kuroko died of an illness and Akashi moved on falling in love with Ogiwara, who had helped him taking care of Tetsuya in his last months.
Chronologically placed before Chapter 1. Check it out for the main points of this AU.
Chapter 2
Akashi didn't know what to think when he met those soft hazel eyes. He didn't know what to say, what to do, what was happening.
He didn't even know how he had fallen in Ogiwara's bed screaming loudly Tetsuya's name.
Guilty washed over him like a tsunami, killing all the remnants of sleepy dizziness and post-orgasmic daze, stiffening his body as memories overwhelmed him.
"We will all miss him, Akashi-kun."
He rolled on his back, escaping the stare of the other man and ignoring the way the sweaty blankets clung to his naked legs. He would normally find it gross, but right now he thought the most disgusting thing in the whole room to be he himself.
"Oi, Akashi, hang in there, okay? You know Tetsu would want that..."
Tetsuya would want that, really? Would Tetsuya want for his lover to leave after the end of his funeral and go straight from his grave to another's apartment? Akashi didn't think so.
"Akashicchi, we're all here for you, you know? Do not hesitate calling, any day at any time."
Tetsuya must be so disappointed in him. Such a long time together, the whole war against the disease, all those declarations of love; and Akashi had disrespect them all so blatantly.
"Akashi, whatever you may need, we don't mind helping. Things like these need time to be elaborated..."
Time, yes. He really had needed a lot of time, uh? Ogiwara didn't even had to woo him. He had barely had to go up to him after the ceremony and offer him a ride and Akashi had just told him to drive to his place instead, that was just how cheap Seijuro had been without Kuroko.
"Aka-chin, will you be all right?"
No. He wouldn't. He wasn't.
He pressed an arm askew on his eyes, both his fists clenched as he strived not to cry for something he had only himself to blame for.
"I'm the wor-"
"Don't."
Akashi blinked, turning his head slowly to escape the white wall and lay his eyes on the melancholic face on the pillow just beside his head.
Ogiwara looked tired, but of a deeper kind of tiredness than the simple post-sex exhaustion. His brown eyes were soft but wrinkled at their corners, his lips bent in a self deprecating yet at the same time reassuring smile. Akashi wondered how he could do that.
"You were his boyfriend and you're in someone else's bed on the day of his funeral," Shigehiro stated, merciless, and Seijuro jerked at the pang of pain he felt. "I was his best friend and I'm fucking his boyfriend on the day of his funeral." Those brown eyes went even darker. "I'm not sure which one of us is the worst."
That didn't make anything better, the opposite.
Akashi was never one for weakness, he refused to let anybody see him vulnerable and up until then Tetsuya had been the only one to be allowed to stand with him as he crumbled down to let go of the pressure and the only one to help him rebuild himself. But when Kuroko had been too weak to shoulder anything, barely his own breathing, Seijuro had started building up pressure, pain, fear, desperation, everything he refused to show his lover. And Ogiwara had watched him doing so.
When tears filled his eyes, he hid his face in the other's chest.
Shigehiro held him silencing his own sobs in the vicious grip on his teeth on his lower lip.
"Seijuro-kun, you're not okay, I can see that. Promise me you'll go easy on yourself once I'll be gone, okay?"

âAkashi felt his heart lift as he observed Ogiwara's gentle smile and shining brown eyes.â
Some very humble fanart for @akashiseijuro4âs incredible fic, Recompense! Itâs an OgiAkaKuro brot3 about a Secret Santa gift exchange and it is the best. It is adorable and important and also OGIWARA. I rambled a lot about it in this post.
(... Meanwhile we wonât talk about how hard it was for me to draw guys sitting on the floor. Also I congratulate Akashi on managing to look closer to Ogiwaraâs height by the way heâs sitting, âcause you just know heâs a pro at seiza. Note their shirts are Teikou/Meikou colors underneath, because Iâm mean/symbolism. Also did I make them look like theyâre in love haha WHOOPS you can blame the fic, I didnât want to ship them, itâs not my fault, Jenny is kind of evil like that)
Anyway, happy belated friendship anniversary, Akashi-kun! Since we met because of an Ogiwara fic you wrote, this seemed like a fitting gift. đâ€ïž
AkaKuro/KuroAka is my OTP, okay, but consider this...
Akashi and Ogiwara having a date in one of those fancy high-class restaurant Akashi is used to and theyâre in since ten minutes and Shigehiroâs face is already covered in crumbles and the waiter is glaring at him so hard but he doesnât even realize and keeps on talking and smiling like a little sun of his own and Seijuro is honestly so amazed the other can turn even that place into something warm and familiar and they start laughing and get kicked out (not really, they leave, nobody would ever dare to kick an Akashi out of anywhere) and end up eating oil-soaked cheap chips at Maji Burger at midnight dressed up in suits, okay, I am leaving, bye.
Kuroko passes by and takes photos for blackmailing material.
I woke up with this stuck in my head. Iâm sorry.
Also, this pain has a Chapter IIÂ now.
And yet Iâm going on
âCareful, Tetsuo. Donât run.â
For as much as he tried to sound scolding, Akashi couldnât help the fondness in his voice as he held tightly on the tiny chubby hands of the kid walking in front of him. Well, âwalkingâ maybe was a bit of an exaggeration, but the ten-months-old toddler was putting so much effort in moving his legs on and on, constantly laughing in pure bliss at his accomplishments, that his father couldnât put him down in any way.
Tetsuo was gurgling satisfied sounds and shaking his hands as if to free them from his dadâs grip, but Seijuro knew better. Last time his son had been so excited, he had ran straight into a piece of furniture as soon as heâd been left to his own.
The kid lift his head and stared at his fatherâs face with big blue eyes and a tuff of blondish-brownish hair. It was no wonder he didnât resemble the man since he had been adopted, but in the big size of his sparking eyes Akashi could see another pair of irises, both the same deep blue of cornflowers, and he smiled while bending to smack a loud kiss on the kidâs forehead, making him burst out in loud laughters that filled the house.
Akashi smiled when he heard someone, in the other room, being infected by the powerful laughter, but then Tetsuo resumed his march and he was forced to follow.
âShall we go to mom, Tetsuo?â he offered, in a attempt to divert the kidâs attention, as soon as he noticed him eyeing the stairs for the upper floor. He was sure they could attempt climbing when his son was a bit firmer on his legs.
Tetsuo probably couldnât realize how weird the word âmomâ could be in a household of only males, but he had attached the word to a face without questions and suddenly he giggled again and changed his direction completely.
Seijuro smiled in spite of his aching back. It had been at least an hour and a half since when Tetsuo had woken up with a desire for adventure and his father hadnât let go of his hands once, accepting in his mind his fate to be called an overprotective parent once more by Satsuki, when she would come over that night for dinner â with Riko on her tails â and force him to get one desperately needed massage. He knew he was probably exaggerating, but he was always so busy at the companies, working for his father as the man was still so fiercely against him and his new family, that when he could finally get a day off he couldnât help but spend it with his son. And domestic accidents were the last thing he wanted to deal with.
âSlow down, Tetsuo.â he called, but chuckling a bit, âMom is not going anywhere.â
Tetsuo made a disappointed noise as he pulled at his fatherâs hands once more, gurgling something that seemed like a demand to hurry up, and Seijuro rolled his eyes but complied.
He let the kid chose the path and Tetsuo tried to use a hand, even if still engulfed in the manâs one, to point at a pair of sparkling blue eyes and the bright smile of a nineteen-year-old with messy blue hair.
Akashi smiled as he left his sonâs hands to pick him up by his waist and carry him. Tetsuo squealed in delight as he reached for his fatherâs cheeks and tried to grab them â his favorite game as of lately â, Seijuro only absent-mindedly trying to stop him with the hand he wasnât using to rest his weight on.
Akashi stared at the blue eyes looking over them and smiled a bit, but this time it was different and probably even Tetsuo realized because he stopped playing to turn and watch too.
Tetsuya was beautiful with a hand holding his hair as a strong wind messed them up and the other showing a peace sign, his usually blank face forgotten somewhere on the sand like their towels and bags. The sea beside him was the same shade of his eyes and his hair melted with the background sky, yet he shone in his white shirt and blue swimming trunks. He was so pale he would surely get burned later, but in that moment he looked like the picture of happiness.
Akashi moved his free fingers to his kidâs hair as he kissed his temple, averting his gaze for a bit and bilking maybe a couple times too many. He inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of cookies his son had still on from the early mess of breakfast. He almost giggle at the thought.
âMa-ma!â
Akashi flinched slightly, his body both shocked yet firmly aware of the precious weight in his arms, and pulled his head back to stare at his kid, who in return was looking at the picture on the drawer, hands pointing at it as if it was the most obvious answer toâŠwho knew which question Tetsuo had felt the need to answer to.
âMa-ma?â he repeated, this time looking at Akashi for confirmation, arms spread questioningly.
This time, Akashi smiled.
âYes.â he murmured, ever so slowly, kissing his sonâs face once again, cookies scent sticking to him too, âYes, Tetsuo. Thatâs Mama.â
He closed his eyes feeling Tetsuo wriggling, happy for the praise, against his chest, then he turned to stare at Tetsuya in that old photo of their teens days. His son took advantage of the moment to turn and leave slobbery kisses on his clavicle, fists pulling at his shirt and revealing more skin.
Akashi let him do, caressing his back with his free hand, as he kept on looking at the picture and the black ribbon adorning itâs corner, even as he heard the muffled sound of socked steps approaching him. Arms circled his waist from behind as soft lips left a â dry â kiss on his left cheek, allowing Tetsuo to keep on mashing his right one with his hands.
âMama was incredibly beautiful, just like Papa.â
Seijuro savored the contact, instinctively leaning into it for a moment, and allowed it to chase away the familiar old pain of loss. He took a deep breath and mustered all of his strength to move on once more, and to do so he turned.
âYouâve crumbles all over your mouth,â he accused as he brushed his cheek clean and built up a glare that still came out half-hearted when his eyes met the softness of chocolate-colored hair and eyes, âagain.â
Shigehiro laughed sheepishly, his voice yet another thing Akashi had leant to love with time, and he scratched his nape not even bothering with an apology. Tetsuo found it all funny and wriggled once more, calling for his âDadâ and his âPapaâ and forcing Akashi to fix his grip on him and to get distracted long enough for Ogiwara to slip his hand in his loverâs red locks and met their lips.
With honest feelings, Seijuro returned the kiss.
Authoressâ notes:
I am sorry. So, yeah, if you want to know more:
Ogiwara had a one-sided crush on Kuroko, whose boyfriend was Akashi.
Kuroko was diagnosed with an incurable disease in his twenties.
Both Seijuro and Shigehiro tried their best to be by his side and help him through, but in the end he died after some months (more than a year).
As they both shared love for Tetsuya and spent time with him during the worst moments, Akashi and Ogiwara grew first to accept each other, then close friends when they helped each other after Kurokoâs death.
They fell in love with each other around a year or more after that.
They got married and adopted a kid, whom they named Tetsuo (âWise Manâ) in Kurokoâs memory.
They keep a photo of Tetsuya in their living room and it was Tetsuo who started to call him âMomâ, who knew why, after some time he started calling Ogiwara and Akashi âPapaâ and âDaddyâ.
Momoi and Riko are a couple, but also all the other members of the GoM are often over to see the kid and help the couple with him.
The Seirin guys basically adopted the two of them through Riko and now Hyuuga and Teppei are like some kind of bickering grandparents fussing over even the littlest thing, like Akashi working too much or Ogiwara and his damn crumbles.
Seijuro and Shigehiro had come to terms with the fact that for the both of them Kuroko is someone they could never forget and they wonât pretend they wouldnât be together or that they wouldnât fight each other to have him if he were still alive.
Hola soy el mismo anonimo que te pidio el HimuNiji y el HaiNiji. No te preocupes lo que te tardes esta bien pero queria saber si mejor puedo cambiar lo que te pedi por un drabble de Akashi y Ogiwara (No hay nada de ellos en español!). Gracias! Si quieres hacer luego lo otro no me quejo, jajajaja pero mientras eso para que no te apures, yo espero. Te lo mando a este blog porque creo que este es el que ahora usas para tus fics xD?
¥Hola, anon! Perdona la tardanza, he estado ocupada. Tienes razón, hay muy poco de Akashi y Ogiwara conviviendo, asà que con todo gusto te tomo ese request. Perdón que venga hasta ahora a dejårtelo -se mata-. Pero creo que llega justo a tiempo por el cumpleaños de Ogiwara.
âÂĄLo siento! ÂĄYa voy! âla apaciguĂł abriendo la puerta de la recĂĄmaraâ. Pero no paso tanto tiempo con el celular.
Su madre le dirigiĂł una sonrisa burlona.
âEso dirĂĄs tĂș, pero desde que hablas de nuevo con Kuroko-kun te hemos perdido por completo. En todo caso mejor dile que venga a pasarse aquĂ unos dĂas, ya tiene siglos que no lo veo âchasqueĂł la lengua y negĂł con la cabezaâ. Venga, ayĂșdame a poner la mesa.
âSĂ âasintiĂł sin poder evitar reĂr por el regaño a medias de su madre, quien ya bajaba de las escaleras.
Claro que antes de seguirla escaleras abajo volviĂł a revisar su celular, ya con un nuevo mensaje.
âEs gracioso âcomentĂł a Kuroko cuando tocaron el temaâ. CreĂa tener el control, no sĂłlo de mĂ mismo, sino de mĂ alrededor. Pero control era lo menos que tenĂa.
âHacer lo mejor que pueda âcontestĂł con una sonrisa y la mirada fija en sus antiguos compañeros de equipoâ. Hay muchos asuntos por resolver.
Claro que habĂa varios asuntos por resolver. Pero por el momento, un asunto turbio que aĂșn inquietaba en mayor medida a Akashi era Ogiwara Shigehiro y lo que le habĂa hecho en aquel deleznable partido. Y eso no pasĂł inadvertido por Kuroko.
âEra de esperarse, cinco minutos haciendo bicicleta de montaña y ya lo tienes dominado.
Akashi no se riĂł por la pulla de Ogiwara, pero no hacĂa falta; la sonrisa divertida lo delataba.
âDebo admitir que tienes un pasatiempo muy divertido.
Los dos bajaron de la bicicleta para quedarse un momento en el mirador, contemplando el paisaje mientras se hidrataban por obra y gracias de sus botellines de agua. Lo que le gustaba a Ogiwara de ese lugar era la inmensidad de las montañas y el recordatorio de que, pese a ser diminuto ante ellas y deberles respeto a su grandeza, no significaba que no pudiera conquistarlas.
Primero fue el nĂșmero telefĂłnico y los ocasionales mensajes. En algĂșn momento esos mensajes se convirtieron en largas charlas hasta que necesitaron echar mano de Skype de vez en cuando.
Cuando eso no fue suficiente, acordaron reuniones en las que acudĂa ahora Kuroko, ahora los miembros de Rakuzan o incluso el amigo de Ogiwara, Mochida Reiji, quien al principio le miraba con recelo (y con justa razĂłn) pero que finalmente aceptĂł la presencia de Akashi en las salidas.
Con el tiempo, esas salidas fueron concertadas sĂłlo entre ellos dos.
Pero ser invitado a la casa de los Ogiwara era una cosa totalmente diferente.
âAhhhh, a veces somos problemĂĄticos, pero asĂ es mĂĄs divertido âcomentĂł mientras terminaba de enchufar los controles a la videoconsolaâ. Gracias, Akashi. Por eso y por venir.
âQuerĂa discutir un tema contigo⊠sobre el pasado âcomenzĂł al fin, haciendo una pausa antes de proseguirâ. Respecto a mis actitudes hacia ti, para ser mĂĄs especĂficos.
De todas las cosas que pudo haber dicho, esa pudo haber sido una respuesta que Akashi no habĂa contemplado. O al menos eso podĂa deducir a juzgar por esa fugaz expresiĂłn de sorpresa que le habĂa cruzado por el rostro antes de desvanecerse, tan rĂĄpido como habĂa aparecido.
âNo entiendo tu pregunta âle dijo con tanta cortesĂa que Ogiwara no pudo evitar reĂr.
Y bien, ahora la cara de Akashi era todo un poema.
âSĂ, acciones. He visto el cambio ÂżSabes? âse encogiĂł de hombros, alcanzando el almuerzo que habĂa llevado para compartirle una bolita de arrozâ. De tu parte y de los demĂĄs.
âEntiendo tu punto âasintiĂł Akashi, sonriendo al ver a Kuroko atacar por sorpresa los costados de sus amigos para meter un poco de orden a la reuniĂłnâ. Y acepto tu sugerencia. Por cierto, tienes un grano de arroz pegado a la mejilla.
MĂĄs tarde, cuando Ogiwara le contĂł a Kuroko los pormenores de esa corta pero relevante charla con Akashi Seijuurou, no encontrĂł rastros de sorpresa en el rostro de su amigo de la infancia.

Summary: "So... it has come to this, Officer Aomine." The tealheaded hitman turned to face his enemy, blood smearing his beautiful pale face. The policeman's eyes tripled in size, clearly surprised. "T-Tetsu-sensei?"
