Promises [knb fanfic]

Jealousy Solved

As she arrived at the gym, the players were already practicing, though as she was about to call out to them, someone hugged her from behind, covering her eyes with a hand.

Tetsumi held the hand that covered her eyes, smiling to herself as if knowing the familiar touch. "Do you plan in letting me guess?" She asked, chuckling a bit. "We're in the school ground you know.."

"The school ground is my empire, in case you forget.." Akashi whispered in her ear, he then removes the hand covering her eyes and twirls her around, catching her by her waist. "Good morning sweetie.. count the nicknames I already gave you." He said with a smirk as he leans forward and kissed her lovingly for a short while, while no one was paying attention to them since they were all busy. "I so love it when I can kiss you freely like this.."

She blushed lightly and took a step back. "Y..you know we're in the gym, right?" She then looked around to see  if anyone saw them, though since she didn't caught  anyone looking their way, she gave out a sigh and faced him once again. "Here, the next training menu.. Winter cup is just below our noses, shouldn't we focusing there? It's our last year here.. nii-chan's going to beat you.. again just like your first year here." She grinned playfully at him, teasing him a bit as she handed over the training menu.

"Tetsuya got his luck at that time. He works harder than anyone.' He said as he took the notebook from her and smirks. "This time, the winner will be Rakuzan. After all..." He paused and took a step toward Tetsumi, he caught her by her waist again. "We have the opponent's pretty sister as our spy.." He teases her back as he leans. He then kisses the tip of her nose. "Honey.." He stared straight at her beautiful sapphire eyes and mouthed the next words. "I love you.."

Tetsumi couldn't help but smile at him, blushing lightly. "And I love you too, sweetheart.." She said in a whispering tone for only him to hear. She then turned away and started walking toward the bench, Akashi was following behind her with an amused smile.

"W.. Well.. better start our new training menu, right?" She said as she turned back at him and smiled. "I won't be taking sides in the winter cup. I don't want to choose between my beloved brother and between you.."

"Have I already tol you that being serious doesn't fit you at all?" He chuckled at her as hanager, would you be kind enough to make honeyed lemons for our exhausted players right now? We've been practicing even before you came."

She pouted at him and turned away, taking something from her bag. "I know.. So I made one ahead. So here is the honeyed lemons for the exhaused players ONLY." She then turned toward the court. "Minna! Why don't you all take a break, ne? I've brought some honeyed lemons for everyone!" Tetsumi called them without waiting for Akashi's response.

As the other players went to her, crowding over the honeyed lemons she prepared, akashi silently walked away, going somewhere.

Though Tetsumi didn't noticed him leaving since she was busy with others. "Sei-cha--huh?" she paused as she just realized that he was gone. She then turned to a player. "Have you seen Sei-chan?"

"Uhm.. I saw captain walked out gym, looking sad. Haha! Maybe he feels bad he had no lemons left." The guy chuckled at what he thought. "Captain is sometimes sulky you know."

Though there really was nothing left from everything she gave the players since they were really exhausted.

Tetsumi then took out a small bento box from her bag. "I'm gonna look for him then. Azuki-kun you can go take shower with the others now."

Tetsumi left the gym, carrying the cute small bento where would sometimes put the food she makes for Akashi there.

As she was looking for him, she finally saw him standing near the shoe lockers, though he was not alone. Risa was there, she was giving him a bento box of honeyed lemons. Akashi accepted it, smiling back at the girl. He opened the bento box and took one and ate it. Risa was obviously happy as Akashi patted her head, thanking her.
