Akashi slams something in the table Mayuzumi is occupying and he couldn’t help but to stop reading and actually turn his attention towards the thing Akashi slammed in front of him.It’s the yearbook. A page of the Couple of The Year and it’s a picture of him and Akashi.The first thing that he thinks of is how the hell did they take this picture? It’s in the rooftop and Mayuzumi was sitting in his usual spot and he was holding a manga that he supposed he was reading, and Akashi was standing besides him and looking at him fondly with a dreamy smile on his face.He doesn’t remember this at all, or maybe he does but he decided that the universe is better off without the knowledge of this.Mayuzumi has always been skeptical about Akashi’s intentions about him. Well, first off, the dude went in the rooftop to ask him to be a new phantom sixth man and then went to use him on court and then abandoned not just him, but also the whole team in the middle of the match. But, Mayuzumi also wants to believe this red haired bastard, ‘cos even though he’s as bad as a badly written manga, he’s also the best thing since the birth of Ringo-tan. He’s not as smooth as everyone makes him out to be. He stutters shit sometimes, most especially when Mayuzumi asks what he likes about him and Akashi once thought Fifty Shades of Grey is a reliable source of romance. But...There’s always been a but in there and Mayuzumi doesn’t know how to put that but away.“Mayuzumi-san.” Akashi breathes deeply, and Mayuzumi just realised that the whole class is now gone and there are heads outside the door, trying to get a better look of what’s happening inside. Mayuzumi wants to face palm. “Mayuzumi-san, you see, it’s not just me who thinks we’re meant to be together, the whole school does, too!”All of a sudden, a slam in the door happens and Mayuzumi checks it’s Reo. “Have you seen this? I can’t believe Sei-chan can make such a face!” He walks towards them and points to the same picture Akashi just showed him, except this one has hearts all over the place. Mayuzumi needs to fucking lie down.“Are you going to print this picture out and put it in your room or something?” Mayuzumi asks.“Can you blame me?” Reo asks back.Fuckin’ touche, Mayuzumi thinks. “How did they even get that picture of us?”“That doesn’t matter.” Akashi shakes his head and stands bravely in front of him. “They think we’re good together, and I think so, too.”“I think that’s their idea of a joke.” Mayuzumi deadpans.“I -- you don’t think we’re good together?” Akashi asks, a pained look obvious in his face. And the last time he saw that was when they lost against Seirin and this is not -- Jesus. Mayuzumi panics a bit. “That’s not what I meant. I’m just saying the school might have done that ‘cos they think it’s funny, or something.”“If the school thinks it’s a joke, then I don’t. You see this, Mayuzumi-san,” he points towards of the picture of him looking at Mayuzumi sleeping. “Those are my looks reserve only for you. I only look at you like that. I have never look at anyone like that in my life, except you.”“Those are heart eyes, Mayuzumi-san.” Reo butts in. “Look at this.”“What are you doing here?” Mayuzumi hisses. Akashi is confessing out here and Reo is standing besides them like it’s nothing. What the actual fuck?“Look, Mayuzumi-san, don’t be selfish.”“I’m not selfi --”“What’s important is what you think.” Akashi says, cutting Mayuzumi’s about to say to Reo. “I know I have done... things --”(...Mayuzumi felt really bad at that time he was used in the middle of the court like a tool and being treated like a chess piece in Akashi’s personal game...)“ -- and I’m really sorry for that. I don’t have any excuse or reason to say but I just am sorry, and this is selfish of me, but I really want to be with you and make you happy because I love you so much and please, please, say something.”For a moment, Mayuzumi doesn’t move. There are reasons for this.One, he feels like the blood flowing in his body has somehow gone in his head ‘cos his face feels really warm. And two, did Akashi just said... I love you?“And this is the proof of my love for you.” he waves the yearbook around. “In this page, for the whole world to see... What... what do you think?” Akashi asks.
Mayuzumi blinks once, twice and he can swear he hears Reo says something about ‘confessing’ and the word ‘sweet’ but he doesn’t give a single shit about that now. Mayuzumi likes Akashi and if he can say that he loves Mayuzumi then Mayuzumi can, too. No buts.
So, he abruptly stands up and grabs Akashi’s collar and kisses him right there and then.
Akashi makes a surprise noise at the back of his throat, but somehow manages to get into the program and drops the book in his hand and gently holds the back of Mayuzumi’s neck.
Mayuzumi just feels the earth rotates again when he hears a high pitch scream so he pushes Akashi a little, and sees it’s Kotarou.
“Damn, that was amazing.” Nebuya comments, smirking like he knows what’s up.
Mayuzumi lets go of Akashi, and sits back down and holds the book he was reading. “That was me saying I love you back.”
He looks up just to see Akashi smiling and looking at him again like he did in the picture, a reserve look only for him.
Akashi picks up the yearbook that he dropped and put in front of Mayuzumi. He smiles.“Sign this for me?”
Mayuzumi does.
