Not long after the third semester started, Akashi told Rin on a Friday night that he was going to Tokyo tomorrow.

"Understood." Rin was used to this, but then heard something unusual, "Aren't you going to see Uncle?"

"Well, it's Kuroko." Akashi paused, "A former teammate. It's his birthday, and Momoi invited us to have a get-together."

"...Oh." Rin replied lightly, "Why did you explain so clearly?"

Akashi raised his eyebrows and stared at him quietly.

Under such gazes, although they are not oppressive, they are definitely not easy to relax, Rin surrendered after a while:

"Okay. I don't really like you getting closer... But you have your own teammates, and I, an outsider, can't say anything... It's not that I hate it, but I can't adjust my emotions for a while. Anyway, you don't have to Leave me alone."

The swearing conclusion at the end is obviously a statement.

Perhaps Akashi was relieved of the scene in the Winter Cup finals, but he, a bystander, couldn't stop thinking about it. Even though he knew there were some objective reasons, the indifference in his heart almost made him show any malice again.

Rin turned his gaze away, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Akashi not moving, and was about to urge him, when he was hugged around his neck and kissed him.

He sat on the floor and subconsciously put his hands behind his back as a fulcrum.

The opponent's hand gently caressed the back of his neck, and it flashed in Rin's mind that he had read it in a book. This is a very controlling action.

His thoughts flashed, and he was caught off guard by Akashi who completely took the lead, and was almost pushed down to the floor directly.

"You're not an outsider." Akashi's voice was very low and hoarse, and the voice tinged with different emotions seemed particularly confusing, "... Rin."

……

The next day, Rin set off with Akashi.

Akashi went to the appointment, and Rin took the opportunity to go back to visit Haruhime.

Xu Wanghuan's intentions are very obvious now, but the two still live in peace without breaking through the last layer of window paper.Yiklei really did what he wanted, and exchanged his mother's affairs with Suohuan. Rin didn't have the skills to speak out, and he also felt that saying such so-called "this kind of love can't get real love in this situation." Happiness" is not as quick as direct action.

The original observer on the sidelines turned into a direct intervention when he noticed Chun Fei's sad mood. He defended his shortcomings and was decisive, but he was not the only one who worked hard on this matter.

The two parted at the station, Rin didn't say anything, for fear that Akashi would catch some language gap and be unhappy, so he simply waved his hand.

When the appointed time arrived, Rin Kankan arrived at the place, and received a text message from Akashi asking him to go to the birthday party together.

"..."

Rin took the phone in his hand and turned it around, and stopped at the same time.

Not far away, Akashi had appeared, followed by others.

"cold."

The only girl in the team, Momoi Wuzuki, immediately paid 12 points of attention because of this overly intimate address, and she didn't forget to exchange glances with Kise Ryota, but it's a pity that the latter's attention is all on Kuroko now , too slow to receive it.

In all fairness, although "another Akashi-kun" will also refer to other people by their names so familiarly, at least as a girl, she can feel the subtle difference between them.It's hard to describe it in words, but it just makes people have an aura of "only these two people can be accommodated".

When Momoi Itsuki looked over, the black-haired boy who had changed his surname to Fujiwara was listening to Akashi's words expressionlessly. They were far away and couldn't hear what he said.

I have to say that it is really pleasing to see two people with perfect looks standing together, with exquisite but not feminine looks, and the lines of the face seem to be carefully carved.

... I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that this picture really matches.

Rin was a little speechless: "...Are you really going?"

"If you really don't want to, forget it."

"This..." Rin tugged at the corner of his mouth, "It's good that they don't feel embarrassed."

Akashi smiled, "No."

When they walked over, Momoi Wuyue was the first to say hello. She had been paying attention to this side and responded the fastest.

"Fujiwara-kun! Long time no see!"

Although Rin was caught off guard and joined in, she never showed any displeasure to the smiling girl, and immediately replied with a smile: "Momoi-san, your hair looks more beautiful when it grows longer."

"Huh, huh?" Momoi held her face, blushing a little, "Fujiwara-kun, you're so good at talking."

Rin rolled his eyes: "Tell the truth."

Followed by Kise, he waved his hand carelessly, Rin had a good sense of rhythm and responded gracefully, and the atmosphere gradually became better.

But the keen Momoi found that although he didn't take the initiative to talk to Fujiwara Rin, although he didn't deliberately ignore it, he definitely had no intention of actively mitigating.What happened last time will somewhat embarrass the two parties. Unlike Akashi-kun, Fujiwara Rin has no basis for friendship with them. Even if they have the experience of rehearsing together, they can only be regarded as "knowing" positions, so they will not be like Akashi. Jun is generally relieved easily.

Momoi furtively winked at Kise, who finally understood this time, and waved his hand, signaling to leave it alone.

The girl was immediately depressed.

Momoi Mayzuki is the kind of enthusiastic and energetic girl, different from Kise who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, she is quite willing to make friends and mobilize everyone. If it were not like this, today’s gathering scene would not have happened, but—more than that It was Kise, and Fujiwara Rin was obviously the same kind of person.

The last time other people supported Heizi, Momoi Wuyue was taken aback when he stood up and shouted for Luoshan. Momoi Mayzuki could see it clearly.

She has always felt that Akashi is the most difficult person to get along with, no matter who she interacts with, there is a layer of barriers, so she is very curious about Fujiwara Rin in that boundary, and at that time, except for the frightened Emotionally, there was even a moment of feeling lucky: Akashi-kun, who did not get close to them completely, had actually found someone he could devote himself to.

The place for the dinner party was the home of Kagami Taiga, and the other party obviously didn't expect so many people to come in the end. Mitsuki Fuhata, who came to open the door, saw Akashi's legs trembling with fright, and he couldn't speak clearly. In the end, he called out.

Rin couldn't help laughing, supported Akashi's shoulder and said "Voldemort", and Aomine sprayed out with a puffed face.

Rin went in and looked around, and found that almost everyone was "carrying family members": Takao Kazuari from Hidetoku, Tatsuya Himuro from Yangquan.

Huang Lai looked around and found that he was the only one who didn't bring anyone from our school, so he immediately hugged the biggest birthday star of the night, Heizi Tetsuya: "Little Heizi!"

Akashi leaned gently and introduced himself, but Jun Yizuki complained, "Of course we know!"

Seeing that he was in good spirits, Rin found a seat and sat down.

Murasakibara, who was about to put snacks in his mouth, was unfortunately complained twice by Midorima, and finally lost completely in Himuro Tatsuya's "I have to wash my hands first".

Cheng Lin's coach led a group of people over, and was obviously shocked to see so many people in the room: "Generation of Miracles...all the members are here?!"

What surprised Rin the most was that the big Vulcan was afraid of dogs, and he felt sick when he heard the barking of dogs, and crawled into the corner trembling on hands and feet.

Of course Rin wouldn't laugh out loud, but somehow felt curious about the contrast in this scene.

He held up a disposable paper cup and looked at the dog, always feeling that the dog looked familiar.

The dog called "No. [-]" was very obedient and allowed the guests to touch it. Akashi asked, "It's No. [-], so where is No. [-]?"

Cheng Lin's two team members tacitly pointed at the expressionless Heizi: "Here."

"Pfft." Rin covered her mouth silently.

As soon as he put down the water glass, No. [-] who landed happily ran towards this direction, scaring Vulcan into jumping three feet high, almost knocking off the roof.

Rin looked down at the dog that rubbed against his feet: "..."

Maybe it was because he was stunned for too long and didn't move for a long time, Momoi said worriedly: "Isn't Fujiwara-kun afraid of dogs?"

"He's not afraid of dogs." Akashi replied for him, "On the contrary, he has a good relationship with animals."

Number Two kept rubbing against Rin's feet, as if he had to touch it before giving up, but Rin stretched out his hand, still hesitating.

"...There is always an illusion that if you do something, you are touching Hei Zijun."

Heizi with a paralyzed face turned his gaze away and said seriously, "Please don't worry about that association, just enjoy yourself."

cold:"……"

He shook his fingertips in horror: "The words you use seem even weirder."

It has to be said that at this moment of letting things go and making jokes, Momoi was finally able to completely relax and enjoy the party.

The meals were prepared in advance, and the chefs were the masters, Kagami Taiga and Himuro Tatsuya. The taste was surprisingly good. Rin praised him a few times without hesitation, which made Hiru who thought this person was not easy to get along with. I was very flattered by God.

But as soon as Fu opened the table, Rin was "surprised".

Aomine and Vulcan don’t know why they acquiesced that eating is also a war. From the beginning, they have been constantly competing to see who can eat the fastest. What’s interesting is that Shirorin’s coach Aida Reiko is very happy to see it, and she is standing on the side with a big plate of food. , Urging Vulcan not to lose to the opponent.

On the other side, the birthday star Kuroko Tetsuya was picked up by two enthusiastic fans (?) of Kise and Momoi throughout the whole process, and he piled up a whole bowl. Although there is nothing to be seen from the paralyzed face, there is definitely endless love in the words. Refused, Midorima next door was very depressed because his lucky item was used as soup, but Takao Kazunari, who was a "good teammate with tacit understanding", showed his demeanor of a bad friend, laughing to and fro, and almost put the Kagami who was struggling to stuff the food I was hit and choked to death on the spot.

In contrast, Akashi's side is relatively peaceful. Of course, Mitsuki Fuhata who is talking to him may not think so. Looking at the way he is holding the cup tremblingly, Rin feels that he can say nothing more. Hesitantly buried himself in the drink cup and could not sleep forever.

——The shadow that Akashi cast on him on the court is not small.

However, in Momoi's eyes, none of this is as shocking as Rin's series of actions at the beginning:

As soon as Fu sat down, Fujiwara Rin naturally moved a dish containing red ginger from Akashi's eyes to a place a little far away, and with the other hand, he replaced the cup containing carbonated drinks in front of Akashi with fresh The juicer.

All these movements are light and natural, and very concealed and silent, without any fanfare. If it weren't for those eyes that are used to collecting and observing, Momoi might have missed this scene.

... It's very weird, I actually have a feeling of being stuffed with dog food.

Right next to Rin were Shiro Rin's other teammates. At this moment, Shinji Koganei was holding a piece of cake and trying to feed it to No. [-] who was screaming happily.

cold:……

Silent black line.

After making a fuss, Koganei Shinji sat back and looked at Rin who was slowly tasting the food: "That... Fujiwara-kun, do you remember me? I'm from Qingbei Junior High Tennis Club."

With the friendly reminder from Hocho Taro not long ago, Rin would not seem completely unimpressed, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I met many times in the Kanto competition, right?"

"That's right!" Koganei Shinji nodded, "Every time we lose to the Bingdi, it's just a curse!"

Rin bent his eyes and smiled. Fortunately, he has a good memory, and he can move his whole body with a single pull. He immediately recalled all of them: "I remember Xiao Jinjing-kun is very versatile, whether it is singles or doubles."

"It seems unreal for you to praise me like that!" Xiao Jinjing waved his hand, "I remember that you always seemed to be singles two at that time, and every time you barely won a game, you would definitely be intercepted by you! Then When I see you, I want to cry!"

"Believe me, if you really fight with Atobe, you will want to cry even more." Rin spoke righteously, and easily vomited the former minister's complaints.

This conversation attracted several other people, and Yi Yuejun was a little surprised: "It turns out that you all played tennis in junior high school."

Koganei nodded: "Fujiwara-kun is still a very good candidate!"

Having said that, he turned his head and asked doubtfully, "It seems that Fujiwara-kun didn't participate in the u17 training camp?"

"U17?" Junpei Hyuga was startled when he was still talking about "Ieyasu Tokugawa". "Is that the training camp that is national in nature and facing the world!?"

Muji Teping also sighed: "That's really amazing!"

Faced with such sincere praise, Rao Shirin couldn't help but feel a little pressure, and explained: "Although the training camp is like this, it still depends on the final selection, otherwise it doesn't mean anything even if you get in."

Muji Teping laughed "haha": "Since being able to go in, it shows a part of his strength."

"But it's a pity that you don't continue to play tennis." Shinji Koganei remembered very clearly his opponents on the tennis court back then.

"Basketball is also very interesting." Rin smiled gently, "Koganei-kun must think so too, right?"

"Yeah. Although I'm still a substitute who doesn't excel at anything, I think this is my favorite sport so far!"

The party ended with the firing of the salute, and everyone's unison blessing made Heizi, who has always shown his face paralyzed, to show a warm smile.

The picture didn't freeze for a moment, and Momoi, who was so cute that she couldn't be more adorable, jumped on her.

It was getting late, and they said goodbye soon after.

Parting ways at the fork in the road, Akashi didn't choose to take the car directly, and Rin knew he had something to say.

The night is deep and the lights are dazzling.

The straight street lights are silent on the side of the road at a strict distance, and the passing vehicles show that the city will not stop because of the setting sun. Instead, it opens the valve of another new chapter. The headlights from far to near , the shadow follows the change direction.

"Rin." Akashi's voice was soft and gentle, like the best jade in the rough, "I'm sorry."

"Because of what?"

"Everything." Akashi said, "Whether it was my extreme behavior at the time, or before, I threatened you with my promise. I am very sorry for everything."

"..."

Rin hesitated to speak, but Akashi interrupted him: "Even if I made compensation at the beginning, the fact that that happened can no longer be changed. I originally planned not to approach you with a heart of remorse, subpersonality Showing up was something I didn't expect. I'm really sorry for making you feel oppressed again."

Even if the sub-personality is because he saw Rin's wavering, Akashi still can't let go.

Originally, he just wanted to protect this person well, and what Akashi did to Rin, Akashi would not be classified as a sub-personality factor, because this is what Akashi Seijuro did.

Rin stopped walking.

At the beginning, Akashi imprisoned him for the whole afternoon, and then he atones for his sin in a way that is close to masochistic.

What he knew was that it wasn't Akashi's original intention, the panic and repentance, and the fear of not wanting to lose him, not only him, but Akashi suffered even more during that time.

The hurt is indelible, and Uncle Akashi probably understands this. He never stopped Akashi's behavior, and never asked Rin to forgive Akashi, even if he was the only child of the Akashi family.

In fact, only at the end when Rin finally opened his mouth to free Akashi from the swamp did Akashi Masomi say that with a prayer.

'Don't give up Xiaozheng, okay? '

Since then, Akashi Masomi has seen that the son under heavy pressure has carried too much, and when the spiritual pillar has been formed, after the corner of the mother collapses, only Rin is left.

——Without this child's forgiveness, Seijuro would be finished.

"Ah Zheng." Rin called him in a low voice.

"Ok?"

"No one can really force me."

"..."

Yes.

He lacks emotion, is indifferent and aloof, does not want to, and can even ignore anyone's fate.

If he really didn't want to forgive Akashi, he was ready to destroy this person.

The hurt is indelible, but the original intent of the starting point can be forgiven.

"I know exactly what I'm doing, and I will be responsible for every decision I make." Rin's expression remained unchanged, and he even appeared indifferent under the serious statement, "Now, do you want to go back on your word?"

"No, I don't have that plan." Akashi responded decisively and quickly, "I will spend all the time in the future to heal that scar, but I will never let go."

Rin smiled slowly, the corners of her pursed lips slightly raised, a reserved and sincere smile.

"it is good."
