Notes for The Vanishing Prince: Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight has been posted! I don’t have nearly as many notes this time. (Which is good, because it took me a lot less time to draft this post. XD;) Still, I did want to bring up a couple of things that I thought might be worth mentioning.

And as always, I updated the inspiration board for this fic over on Pinterest, so feel free to check out the new images if you feel like it/have access to Pinterest. (The most recently added images are at the top, so when you scroll down, you’re basically going backwards through the story.) And with that, onto the notes...

(Cut for the ramblings of a writer who overthinks everything, and also some very important notes about omurice, because I LOVED writing that part…)

Akashi and His Mom, Plus Heian Poetry

This is basically just a note to say that I really loved being able to write the scene with Akashi and his mom. <3 I think it’s the first scene of them together that I’ve posted online…? (Though I’ve written lots of scenes where Akashi talks about his mother, or has a very brief memory of her.) I wrote something short about them for Mother’s Day years ago, but I never finished it, sadly. So it felt nice to finally be able to include a glimpse of how I see their interactions.

Also, the part about Japanese poetry is indeed a thing! A lot of the Heian-era poetry in Japan revolves around themes of courtly love, and because of how courting worked in that time period, they often feature various forms of pining-for-your-lover-from-a-distance. So like Akashi says, there was a folk belief that if you were missing your lover enough, you would appear in each other’s dreams, so that you could at least be together in the dream world. Like this site about the poet Ono-no-Komachi explains, “the intensity of one's feelings for one's lover could induce him to appear in one's dream or could cause one to appear in his dreams.” I always thought that was a fascinating concept. (Also the idea that Akashi would be studying those poems at six years old is just really funny to me? But anyway. //laughs)

Akashi’s Issues, Poor Guy

I don’t want to go into too much detail here, but I thought it might be worth mentioning… One of the things I really wanted to explore in this fic (and the series as a whole) is the reality that working on mental health problems can be a very difficult and often nonlinear process. While it’s not the only plot line of the story—and I definitely don’t claim to have done a great job with it by any means, though I try my best!—I felt like it was important to take the time to show how a person’s struggles with mental illness don’t just get solved overnight. Akashi has been fighting a lot of the same problems throughout the series, because these kinds of emotional hang-ups and coping mechanisms aren’t easy to change.

To be honest, it felt somewhat counterintuitive to me as a writer, because back when I was trying to publish original stories, there was this idea that you weren’t supposed to write characters “brooding” for too long or repeat the same issues/mistakes over and over. Basically, the characters needed to show growth quickly, and passages that could be seen as repetitive should probably be cut, because they weren’t “progressing the story.” While I can understand that idea in a writing sense, I tend to feel like it’s not a very fair representation of what it’s like to struggle with mental health. (Which also applies to a lot of other kinds of personal issues/growth as well, honestly. Change is just hard in general.)

So I’m definitely trying to walk a balance between not writing the same scenes over and over, while also showing Akashi’s struggles as an ongoing journey for him. The latter was really important to me, both as a writer, and as someone who’s had cycles and setbacks with my own mental health stuff.

Bokushi Is Still Kind of an Asshole, Lol

On kind of a similar note… I have no idea how Bokushi comes across as a character at this point in the story? //laughs But if anyone finds him to be kind of a jerk, I will say that’s an intentional choice, at least. Ideally, I wanted him to be likable but still flawed, and I do find him hilarious personally, but… Hopefully it’s obvious that I don’t think he’s a perfect person, by any means. XD;

I think I’ve said before that I really want to use this storyline as a chance to explore my view of his character—and the why/how of how his personality differs from Oreshi—in as much detail as possible. Hopefully it ends up coming across as nuanced in the long run… But if nothing else, I hope it’s at least fairly interesting to read! Because I do find him extremely interesting as a character.

Omurice!

So here’s my major cultural note for the chapter… I’m guessing a lot of people are already aware of the fact that Furihata’s favorite food in canon is omurice, since it tends to pop up in AkaFuri fics a lot. For anyone who’s not familiar with the dish, omurice (a borrowed compound word for “rice omelet”) is a Western-inspired Japanese dish that’s extremely popular as a comfort food. (This type of Western-inspired cuisine is generally called yoshoku. Which I think I also mentioned in Storming the Castle, but… it’s been awhile? //laughs)

So basically, omurice consists of pan-fried rice that’s usually seasoned with either ketchup (often considered the more homey/classic version) or demi-glace sauce (more often seen in restaurants). Like in a lot of fried rice recipes, vegetables and meat are added to the rice, and then the whole thing is served beneath a super-fluffy egg omelet. It typically looks like this, or this. I’ve made it before, and enjoyed it way more than I expected. So while I was writing this chapter, I couldn’t resist preparing one of my own (for research purposes of course, lol):

I’m not a good cook, to put it mildly, but I was proud that this one came out a little better than the last time I tried it. XD

To me, the coolest thing about watching someone prepare omurice is the part where they plate the omelet... This can be done a few different ways, and some take more skill than others. (I totally cheat, by making a single-layer omelet and just setting it on top of the rice as best I can. XD) The most difficult way (and the way Furihata does it in the fic!) is to layer the omelet on top of itself while you’re cooking it, so that it becomes a kind of pouch that you can slice open over the rice. There’s a great animation of this process over on my Pinterest board, and I also really recommend two videos on Youtube if you’d like to see more… This clip features an amazing chef from the most famous omurice restaurant in Kyoto, and this one is an iconic scene from Tampopo, a classic Japanese film. To learn more about the context of those clips, and about omurice in general, I also recommend this really fun article about it.

The thing I find the most interesting about omurice is that it’s such a popular comfort food, so it’s often associated with home and family life. That’s why in The Fast Train to Kyoto, I was inspired to have Furihata’s mom make him omurice when he’s having a bad day. At the same time, though, the dish can also have a bit of a “lovey dovey” connotation to it? Like how in this survey it was one of the top foods that Japanese guys said they would like their girlfriends to make for them. (Hence the trope of decorating the omelet with a ketchup heart, as Bokushi mentions, in his extremely Bokushi way. //laughs)

For all these reasons, I tend to think of omurice as the perfect favorite food for a character like Furihata. It definitely inspired how I write about him, especially when it comes to things like his family life as well as his romantic side. <3

So How About All Those Storming the Castle References Huh

This is just a quick note to say that if anyone happened to be confused by some of the references in this chapter, a lot of them were referring back to events from Part Two of Storming the Castle. (Like the first time Furihata saw Akashi’s dad, the huge portrait of Akashi and his parents in the ballroom, the butsudan altar, the secret passage with the stairs, the ghost, etc, etc… Also the character of Ginhara, since he’s the butler who runs the mansion in Tokyo.)

I tend to be pretty indecisive about exactly how much detail I should use to explain something that happened earlier in the series… Since I know some people might not have read the earlier fics, and at the same time, I don’t want to be too repetitive for those who have? In any case, if anything was confusing/unclear, it was probably a callback to that story. (Oh, and there was also a callback to The Fast Train to Kyoto, about when Akashi and Furihata talked about becoming friends!)

Well, that’s it from me this time around. Thank you so much for reading, as always. As I mentioned in more detail over on Ao3, I really hope everyone is staying safe where possible, and supporting each other in this difficult time. I will do my best to get the next chapter posted very soon. <3

A/N: I haven’t posted anything in a month but I really wanted to finish this akafuri fic. I wrote dialogue first which is not my usual writing method but eh, it was fun.

Summery: Uncrowned Kings try figure out who Akashi is dating, with great speculations and misplaced indignation. Akashi is confused by his starters but is mostly focused on his phone. Mayuzumi is there for the voice of reason that everyone ignores.

Full version here, which contains a bonus scene.

OoO

Reo watched Akashi walk out of the locker room, her eyes narrowing at the almost bounce in his step. “Have any of you noticed Sei-chan has been acting weird?"

Nebuya gave her a dubious look. “You know this is the same person who did offer to gouge out his eyeballs and give them to us if we lost a game, right?”

“But he’s a lot less insane now since we lost the Winter Cup!” Hayama was quick to defend, head pocking out of his t-shirt. “We’re allowed to check our cell phones during breaks now!”

Reo nodded. “And last week he lessened our training regimen when I asked him to.”

“Yesterday he helped me study for the science test,” Nebuya added.

“And that’s exactly my point.” Reo snapped her fingers. “He’s been calmer since the Winter Cup, true, but these past three weeks he’s been nice.”

This gave them all a pause.

“Didn’t just last month he confiscated a third year’s phone, saying he would drop it from the school roof if he saw it again?” asked Hayama, remembering that terrifying incident. The poor boy looked like he was going to cry.

Reo looked over at Nebuya. “How was your tutoring session?”

“It was pleasant and helpful,” Nebuya said, in growing horror. “He even brought snacks.”

They all began to panic.

“Is he sick? What if he’s dying?” Hayama frantically asked.

“Do you think the pressure of being captain at such a young age has finally broken him?” wondered Reo.

“Maybe aliens have laid eggs in his brains and are messing with his head.”

Nebuya joined in the conspiracy. “What if he's been replaced by an alien?”

“I mean; I’ve been telling you guys from the beginning that Akashi isn’t human,” Hayama said, exasperated. “His eye changes colour.”

“Trick of the light, I’m telling you,” Reo dismissed.

“They glow during game time!”

“Adrenaline.”

“Maybe he’s dating someone?” Mayuzumi threw in, wondering why he was joining their, frankly, ridiculous conversation. He was going to put it down to vague curiosity.

“What?” This suggestion threw the Uncrowned Kings.

“You said he lifted the banned on phones, right?” Reo nodded when Mayuzumi looked at her in confirmation. “He did so he could check his. Simple.”

“The lessen training time?” Hayama hesitantly asked.

“To spend more time with his partner.”

“Being nice while tutoring me?”

Mayuzumi shrugged. “Good sex?”

There was an awkward pause as the idea of their captain have sex became a possibility.

Reo grimaced and quickly asked the main question, “But who would Sei-chan date?”

“And more importantly,” Hayama added. “Who would date Akashi?”

“Do you think he would make a good boyfriend?” Mayuzumi asked, honestly just to see what the Uncrown Kings reactions would be. Nebuya face was still frozen in discomfort from his earlier comment and it was pretty amusing.

Reo hesitated. “I… don’t know. I can’t imagine Sei-chan liking someone to that degree.”

Hayama nodded. “It would have to be someone special. Someone from Rakuzan?”

“Can’t be, or we would know.”

“So someone from another school. A cute manager? Maybe it’s the one that was also with the Generation of Miracles!” Hayama excitedly said, looking like he cracked the code.

Reo shook her head. “She’s in love with Kuroko, remember?”

Hayama waved his hand dismissively. “Aren’t all the Miracles in love with Kuroko?”

Reo froze, staring widely at Hayama. “You don’t think…?”

“But isn’t he with Kagami?” Hayama asked in alarm, catching onto what Reo was implying.

“But Akashi could still…” Reo made a vague hand movement that somehow explained everything she refused to say.

“It could be another basketball player that isn’t Kuroko?” Nebuya hesitantly offered, seemingly coming back from the dark place he went off to. Mayuzumi honestly wasn’t surprised by their easy acceptance of Akashi possibly dating a boy, but it was pleasantly nice to confirm it.

“I guess,” Reo dubiously agreed. “But who?”

“Oh!” Hayama exclaimed suddenly. “We can steal his phone and see!”

“Or we could ask him?” offered Mayuzumi, the only sensible person in this conversation.

He was ignored.

OoO

Getting Akashi’s phone proved to be a bit more difficult than just grabbing it while he was busy.

“Because Akashi sees everything,” Hayama hissed, sending quick looks at Akashi who was, coincidentally, on his phone.

Reo rolled her eyes. “My God, you make him sound like a super-villain.” And wasn’t that a terrifying thought, because there was no doubt that Akashi would make a very successful villain. He already has the tragic backstory for one.

Hayama, in a panic way to create a distraction, challenged Akashi to a one-on-one. The match itself was like watching a car accident, nothing was going to turn out well but you couldn’t look away. It was short and brutal. The phone was forgotten in favour of watching the carnage.

The closest they came was when Akashi was taking a shower. They managed to locate the phone in his bag, after way too long rummaging. However, it was password protected, which was a low move on Akashi’s half. It made snooping very hard.

Hayama peered over Reo’s shoulder at the phone. “Try 1234.”

Reo scoffed. “That’s dumb. Maybe his birthday?”

“Do aliens even have birthdays?”

“For the last time, he’s not an alien.”

“Felt that way facing off him.” Hayama leaned back, pouting.

Before they could even attempt to break the code, Nebuya waved his hands frantically from his lookout position as they heard the shower go off. Luckily for them, a message came through the same time, appearing on the front screen. In their panic, they could only see the letter “K” in the contact name before the phone was shoved haphazardly back into the bag.

Akashi walked in and gave his starters weird looks. That was probably because their idea of acting natural was to pose like they were on the front cover of a style magazine. Reo was lounging on a bench as if to seduce a lover. Akashi was rightfully suspicious and not seduced at all.

OoO

“I’m telling you that it’s Kuroko,” Reo hissed, walking down the street while still doing her tie.

They left the changing rooms as soon as they could. Reo and Hayama are buzzing from their new-found knowledge, while Nebuya less excited but still curious. Mayuzumi was there because this was his way home and it seemed more effort to try and ditch the three idiots than to walk behind them.

Hayama was still doubtful on their leading suspect. “I don’t think Kuroko is one to cheat on his boyfriend.”

“But it’s Sei-chan,” Reo shot back. “Who wouldn’t cheat on their lover for Sei-chan?”

“People who actually value their lives?” Hayama’s voice went up a few notches because no one could be that suicidal, could they? He quickly added, “Also, I don’t think Akashi would take it too kindly to being a side chick. He would want to be the main hoe.”

Nebuya groaned. “Can we please stop putting our captain in sexual scenarios?”

Reo ignored Nebuya. “Does this make Sei-chan a homewrecker?”

Hayama eyes went wide, as he never thought of his captain like that. “He really is a villain!”

“We have to stop him!” Reo slammed her fist in her hand in righteous declaration.

“Yeah!” Hayama said with the same enthusiasm, fist in the air.

“But how?” Nebuya asked, confused but determined to help his captain in any way.

“By confronting him of his bad ways!” Reo exclaimed, a steely glint in her eyes.

“And help him find a better, healthy relationship!” Hayama was now visibly vibrating.

“He’s obviously trapped in some situation and he needs to be broken free!”

“Shown the error of his way and lead down a path of redemption!”

“God help us all,” Mayuzumi deadpanned from the back.

OoO

“Sei-chan!” yelled Reo, storming towards him. She wasted no time and decided to confront him the next day before morning practice. Nebuya and Hayama approached at a slower pace but both looking just as unwavering. Akashi raised one eyebrow at them.

“You must stop your harmful ways right now!”

“What-”

Hayama jumped in before Akashi could complete his baffled question. “We know about your little secret relationship.”

Nebuya nodded coldly.

Akashi’s eyes lit up in recognition. “Oh, you know about-”

“And honestly, I’m appalled” Reo was so wound up that she even went as far as to stab Akashi in the chest. Hayama and Nebuya quickly lost their resolve in favour of staring at Reo in horror. No one dared to get close to Akashi, not for a friendly slap or high-five, and especially not to poke him in disapproval.

Akashi looked down at the offending finger before fixing Reo with a look that sent goosebumps down Hayama’s arms. “Excuse me.”

Nebuya visibly flinched at Akashi’s tone. “Uh oh.”

“Maybe we should stop.” Hayama was bouncing from foot to foot in nervous energy, literally feeling the air get colder as Akashi glared at Reo.

Reo clearly had a death wish, for she pushed on regardless. “To be involved with someone like that is honestly a disgrace. I thought you had better taste, or at the very least better tact.”

“Really.”

“Is his eye glowing?” Nebuya whispered to Hayama in fear.

“Told you,” Hayama hissed back.

Both of them took a few cautious steps back, leaving Reo to her suicidal mission.

Let it be said, if Reo felt passionate about something, nothing stood in her way. “We are all aware how emotionally stunted you are, but that does that excuse you’re behaviour. To go ahead with the relationship, where the long distance is most likely already a strain but to also be with someone who would stoop so low as to agree with it as well, is ludicrous. Sei-chan, you can do a lot better than him. You don’t need to settle for a vile bastard like him.”

“You do not get to speak about Kouki like this,” Akashi spat, looking ten seconds from murdering Reo.

Reo jaw dropped in disbelief. “You’re dating another person? Sei-chan, you’re no better than Kuroko!”

“What does Kuroko have to do with any of this?!”

Reo frowned at the frustrated confusion on Akashi’s face, finger dropping. “What do you mean?”

“For God’s sake,” Mayuzumi muttered, having entered the court around the middle of Reo’s rant and was fully done with the Uncrowned Kings’ shenanigans. “Are you dating Kuroko or not?”

“Of course not,” Akashi grounded out through clenched teeth.

Reo squinted at Akashi. “Then who are you dating?”

“Furihata Kouki.”

The Uncrowned Kings blinked in baffled union. “… Who?”

“Serin’s point guard.”

“I never thought Akashi would be into older men,” said Hayama.

“Not that one,” Akashi said with very little patience. Mayuzumi was honestly amazed that he had any. “The other one.”

Hayama blinked in surprise. “They had another point guard?”

“Oh,” Reo exclaimed. “They had the first year, right?”

Nebuya frowned. “The really scared one? But Akashi, why would you date someone so weak and-”

Hayama was very quick to jab Nebuya sharply in his sides as the murderous look came creeping back onto Akashi’s face.

“And very lovely,” Hayama rushed to continue, loudly over Nebuya’s pained wheezing. “And kind, and great in bed-”

Reo smartly stepped back onto Hayama’s foot before he did any further damage, a bright smile on her face as she smoothly finished, “And we’re really happy for you Sei-chan. We should meet him sometime.”

Akashi narrowed his eyes at the suggestion. “Over your dead body.”

“Isn’t the dead body supposed to be yours?” Hayama asked absently, more worried about his foot then what he was saying. That is until he looked up and saw Akashi’s irritated expression and hastily corrected himself, “Right, never mind, over mine.”

A/N: And that's basically it done. If anyone has some helpful criticism, it would be much appreciated. I don’t know if I should have a bonus meeting where they actually see Furi but I’m not too sure what to write for that. Suggestions?

[fanmix] the fast train to kyoto

“Is this place even real? I feel like we’re in a story or something.”

“I feel much the same… I wonder what sort of story it is.”

Akashi Seijuurou is tired of people keeping him at a distance. One day on a train platform, he encounters a certain panicky point guard from Seirin. And he gets an idea. A terrible, awful, foolish idea… Naturally, he has to go through with it. The question is, will Furihata accept his invitation?

a fanmix for the beautiful akafuri fic “the fast train to kyoto”, written by @courtingstars. key lyrics under the cut.

[akashi]

translation: jpopasia and otenkiame

Ahh I was tired of waiting for the spring

I’m wishing to see you When I thought of you today too The wind suddenly enveloped me And dyed me in a cherry blossom color

6. my time with you (너와 나의 시간은) - vanilla acoustic (바닐라 아쿠스틱)

[furihata]

Actually, I’m someone Who spent so much time wanting you Your passing look, your cold smile Sometimes, they make me run out of breath We keep missing each other You and I, our time You’re like the sun inside of me That I hope will rise in the night sky

Actually, I’m someone Who spent so much time wanting you Your passing look, your cold smile Sometimes, they make me run out of breath

These small tremblings, this heart fluttering They are like gifts to me, they make me see you again It’s just feelings that I can’t throw away But my whole world is filled with you

Actually, I’m someone Who spent so much time wanting you Your passing look, your cold smile They stop me from going to you

translation: sleeplessaliana

I look at my side that suddenly feels strange I’m next to you and you’re caring for me Just like our hearts that we’re becoming more used to I can’t seem to draw it out

Because you held onto me, who shakes with the littlest words You treated me warmly when I was clumsy with everything You held me when I was being foolish because it was my first time

I drawing a blank again Dust is settling Dust is building up again

No one is in my heart Dust is settling

Days when I only looked forward and ran You held onto me, who resembled you

My heart was able to rest because I was next to you I smiled when you smiled

On the way to you, there was excitement On the way back, there was emptiness Loneliness

I want to see you longer Slowly, slowly I wanna hug even your long shadow I wanna embrace you I wanna hug you

09. in my little mind - hodge

[furihata]

Hello, how have you been luv? I hope everything is well with you (Hmm) Don’t mind the little things I feel They sound just a little lame to me (Hmm) Maybe we could be a little bit More honest oh, With me with you, with us Maybe we could go our ways And let it go.

I know that you have given your all Just stayin’ beside me And this is all I’m thinking My thoughts are broken Inside my little mind

10. i wish i was the moon - neko case

[akashi]

Chimney falls and lovers blaze Thought that I was young Now I’ve freezing hands And bloodless veins As numb as I’ve become. I’m so tired. I wish I was the moon tonight.

Last night I dreamt I’d forgotten my name ‘Cause I sold my soul But I woke just the same. I’m so lonely. I wish I was the moon tonight.

God blessed me, I’m a free man, With no place free to go. Paralyzed and collared-tight, No pills for what I fear. This is crazy, I wish I was the moon tonight.

[…]

How will you know if you’ve found me at last? 'Cause I’ll be the one be the one be the one With my heart in my lap I’m so tired I’m so tired And I wish I was the moon tonight.

11. when it rains - paramore [furihata]

And when it rains Will you always find an escape? Just running away from all of the ones who love you From everything

You made yourself a bed at the bottom of the blackest hole (blackest hole) You’ll sleep till May and you’ll say that you don’t wanna see the sun anymore.

And Oh oh how could you do it? Oh I - I never saw it coming Oh oh I need an ending So why can’t you stay just long enough to explain?

Take your time Take my time Take these chances to turn it around And take these chances and make it somehow Take these chances to turn it around Just turn it around.. […] You can take your time Take my time.

12. birdcage religion- sleeping at last

[akashi]

So slowly I’m losing Who I’ve sworn to be. A promise in pencil That years have made so hard to read. I’ve spent my life building walls Brick by brick and bruise by bruise… A birdcage religion that whispered me to sleep.

But time is spinning silk That coils ruthlessly; With the devil’s patience, It binds my hands so quietly That soon it becomes a part of me.

So soften these edges and straighten out my tie

And help me remember

The hope that I have compromised.

Please be a broken record for me.

13. oozora de dakishimete - utada hikaru

[furihata]

translation: lyrical nonsense

On a clear Sunday, the station’s ticket gates Are beginning to fill with color from the cheeks of those waiting for another

Today, I feel like going someplace far away Somewhere I can see the sky

If we could go flying among the clouds Then just hold me, in the vast sky I wonder if you’re still mad with me… But we just can’t help but be stubborn

[…]

So innocent and pure, you’ll misunderstand me So shut my blabbering mouth We’ve both been hurt So just embrace me and don’t complain about it

If it happens that we can meet again someday Then come trouble me once more If perhaps we can only meet again in our dreams Then just hold me until morning

I get it, I get that I’m being greedy But just kiss me, without saying it’s our last If perhaps we can only meet again in our dreams Then, oh stars soaring through the heavens, don’t go out

14. au tabi suki ni natte (i fall in love every time we meet) - BRIGHT

[akashi]

translation: carlenne

Every time we meet, I fall in love and my heart aches yet I can’t help wanting to be with you always even though I ought to have been fine on my own I don’t want to say goodbye

The more I know you, the less I can stop it but I don’t want you to hate me If you called out to me in a gentle voice I’d surely be able to tell you how I feel

If the thread of fate that I’d been about to give up on is the miracle that drew me towards you Even though I just want you to hold me tighter

Every time we meet I fall in love and my heart aches

The restless nights continue on and on I just want you to gaze at me but afraid, so I bite down on my lip

Conversation

12 Days of AkaFuri (Yes i know, I'm three years late, but I REALLY WANNA DO THIS MAN)

Day 7: Crossdressing

-----

Kise is visiting Kyoto and asked Akashi to show him around.

-at the cafe-

Kise: Thanks again for this wonderful tour, Akashicchi

Akashi: You're welcome

Kise: [sighs] I kinda feel bad though, you're supposed to go to Tokyo to attend Seirin's school festival and yet.. here you are

Akashi: Don't think too much about it, I still could attend it tomorrow.. also, Kouki would be very busy today anyway so.. yeah

Kise: If you say so.. speaking of school festival, Rakuzan's going to hold one too right? When is it again?

Akashi: Next month

Kise: Oh nice.. what is your class doing?

Akashi: ...

Kise: [confused] Akashicchi?

Akashi: Just some boring.. uninteresting stuff.. by the way, we should-

Kise: [gasps] No way!

Akashi: Wha-

Kise: Is it crossdressing cafe?

Akashi: [freezes]

Kise: Seriously?

Akashi: .. [pouts]

Kise: [laughs] Oh my.. your expression, it's still the same! You always despise this particular idea back in middle school [laughs]

Akashi: Stop laughing, Kise

Kise: Wait till Furihatacchi knows about this [grabs his phone and dials a number]

Akashi: [alarmed] What are you doing?

Kise: [turns on speaker mode] Hello

Furihata: [over the phone] Kise-kun?

Kise: [cheerful] Yeah it's me. Listen Furihatacchi.. I have some good news for you

Akashi: [facepalms] Kise..

Furihata: Uh.. what is it?

Kise: You know Rakuzan's school festival would be held next month right?

Furihata: Yes

Kise: Do you know what Akashicchi's class's going to do?

Furihata: Uh.. no

Kise: [cheers] A crossdressing cafe!

Furihata: .. Oh

Kise: [frowns] Furihatacchi, did you hear me?

Furihata: I did, I did

Kise: Uh.. you're not excited?

Furihata: [chuckles softly] Ah, how should I say this.. by the way, is Sei with you?

Akashi: Kouki

Furihata: You're doing a crossdressing cafe?

Akashi: .. Yes

Furihata: Is it okay if I come and see?

Akashi: [mutters] Please don't

Furihata: Okay, I won't then. Just let me know if you still want me to come after you're done and we can do something else yeah?

Akashi and Kise: ...

Furihata: Hello?

Kise: [touched] Furihatacchi..

Furihata: Ah, I gotta go now sorry. Have a nice day you guys.. [hangs up]

Kise: .. [sniffles]

Akashi: Why are you-

Kise: When Midorimacchi said Furihatacchi understands you more than you understand yourself, I legit thought he was exaggerating..

Akashi: ...

Kise: .. It seems that he wasn't, huh? [smiles genuinely] I'm sorry Akashicchi, for being inconsiderate

Akashi: It's.. fine, I guess I took the matter too seriously as well [smiles slightly]

Kise: [chuckles]

Akashi: I think.. I want Kouki to come after all.. it's just for fun, and it would be more fun with him around [grins]

Kise: .. [sobs]

Akashi: [sighs] What is it now, Kise?

Kise: I'm jealous! Now you're the one being inconsiderate!

Akashi: What the..

I’m about to go off about AkaFuri

Usually I would share these thoughts on my haikyuu discord but they don’t really appreciate them like I do. So here is my idea for them.

It’s a soulmate au where any version of soulmate bond exists, i.e. color blindness, name, where they first touch you, being able to message each other on your skin, etc.

Soulmate bonds are written and are featured in the rom com movies his mom likes to watch, so Kouki knows what they are but he wasn’t concerned enough with it at 8. He cared more about his books.

It only became real during a school test when tears dripped down his cheeks and he slowly broke down for no reason. Frame shaking sobs and sounds of pain that Kouki couldn’t find a source for. He was excused to the nurse’s office to wait for his mom.

It was with his mom’s arm around his trembling frame that the nurse explained what type his soul bond was. Emotional pain for physical pain, a rare form. It was carefully explained that through studies, scientists found that the pain shared through the bond can be managed. That you can control how much you share. She explained that Kouki is receiving his soulmate’s emotional pain and turmoil and his soulmate can receive his physical pain as a dull ache. He tried nodding to show that he understood the weight of her words.

At night Kouki tries to go to sleep but the pain in his heart is too much, it’s hard to breathe with it arcing through him. And then- it stops, the pain eases, the tears and shaking finally stops. He closes his eyes to get some rest until a similar pain wraps around him like a cloak.

It’s his own. His soulmate is in so much pain and Kouki wants to help, he wants to reach out with his tiny hands and hold them, protect them. If they felt they had to suppress it, he wants to help relieve them. That night he promises to hold onto his soulmate’s emotions, he will take the brunt of their pain and suffering. It’s all he can do for them.

It continues like this for years, moments where he breaks down in tears for no reason, until middle school when an all crushing weight settles on his chest and makes him feel like he can’t breathe. That he is going to fail, that everything he knows is wrong, that he is wrong, and his world breaks- Kouki passes out from the pain.

He wakes in a hospital, his mother’s worried face, his father’s pinched brow, and brother’s concerned eyes are what greets him. He hears from the doctor that his soulmate most likely went through something deeply traumatic, and since it looks like his soulmate has been transferring their feelings through their bond at at least 75%, this pain echoed harshly into Kouki.

The doctor and his parents leave the room to talk outside, Kouki hears his mom ask “Is there anything we can do for him?” before the door completely closes. His brother tries to talk to him about some show that Kouki likes but his mind is somewhere else.

His hand clenches his chest where the immense pain came from earlier, trying to sense any lingering feelings. He feels that his soulmate has come to accept whatever happened to them, maybe even embrace it, so Kouki doesn’t worry too much.

His next year of school the pain comes back but it's so quiet, not nearly as massive as it once was, but it slowly builds. It ebbs and flows through the year afterwards too. Almost as if his soulmate has to chide his feelings for existing at all.

It’s only at the Winter Cup Finals that things start to make sense. Kouki, as a rule, refuses to share his physical exhaustion with his soulmate after defending Akashi. It tells him that he actually did it, he faced Akashi on the court and he won’t let anyone take that away from him.

But as the match wears on the feeling of failure comes in like waves on a sea. They come and go, only to come back stronger, again and again. It is plain to see to anybody on court that Akashi is falling behind- he is faltering. Something that was considered impossible.

The only two people who know what is happening are Akashi and Kouki. Kouki watches Akashi as it happens. The feelings of failure are coming back to the shore, to Kouki, as big as a tidal wave, threatening to crash down on him and sweep him into the ocean. Just at the precipice, just as it starts to crumble down and drench him, it’s gone.

Left are the drops of relief and hope from his soulmate, drops as tender as spring rainfall.

When Kouki see’s Akashi again his eyes are red, and he knows.

The weight of a loss not his own after the game confirms it.

He watches Akashi’s back as he leaves and he remembers his 8 year old promise. His promise to take his soulmate’s pain and suffering as long as it would help them. That it was the only way he could help them.

But he’s right there and he can do so much more to help now. It’s with that powerful promise that Kouki calls out “Akashi-san!”

________

Inspired by Melanie Martinez’s Crybaby, I’ve had this thought for years and I wanted to put it to paper but ehhh nah this works fjdskalfj. I thought the song fit Furihata being bullied and Akashi being emotionally distant beautifully.

These lyrics specifically,

I look at you and I see myself

And I know you better

Than anyone else, And I have the same faucet in my eyes

So your tears are mine

I love this concept so much

Oneshot #22

Rating: T

Relationships: AkaFuri.

Characters: Akashi Seijuro. Furihata Kouki.

Wordcount: 4000 words

Tags: Mermaid AU. Amnesia. Bonds. Fluff. SO MUCH FLUFF.

Summary: Furihata is taken prisoner. Something tells him it will turn out alright. And there is a very very beautiful Akashi in front of him.

Author Notes: I had the prompts the words Mermaid, Prison and Futuristic to be used and this is what my mind thought of. And since receiving an ask about amnesia I was thinking of doing another one for it ha ha. Anyway with this, I have done 100 chapters on ao3 for my Oneshots!

AO3 Link Right Here!

Mermaids were vicious. Mermaids were dangerous. Mermaids were very very territorial. They guard the secrets of the Sea. They fight hard and dirty and make a spectacle of those daring predators who had been foolish enough to try thwarting them. There were severed heads and bodies displayed outside the palace as a show of prowess and victory.

They were also instantly suspicious of anyone from the Land who didn’t drown.

That, Furihata hadn’t anticipated.

“Bring him in,” a female voice spoke, soft and commanding at the same time.

The guards pushed his cage further into the Hall until he was smack dab in front of the Throne. The palace where he had been captured and brought into had been glorious and oozing the riches of eons as old as the Sea. Perhaps older if some stories were to be believed. Furihata had read somewhere that merpeople chose their territories, a decision that altered generations and generations following. They plundered whatever they considered theirs, and the entire Sea bowed to their will. There were stories that were spoken in hushed whispers and songs of crazy old hags that merpeople had been vexed with the rulers of the Land and chose to depart to the Sea forever. But that had been millions of years ago. Nothing to do with his capture merely moments ago. Nothing to do with him being brought to the King of the Seven Seas and his Wise Counsel for “examination”.

It was just sheer thanks to his genetics that he was alive, still.

“What is the matter with him?” The female voice asked, a shade of curiosity painting her tone. She sounded a lot closer than before, Furihata realised.

“Ahem…..uhhh” The guards looked at each other, hesitant to answer and egging the other to. Their fear was palpable, Furihata sniffed the air around him. But it confused him, why were they scared of him? He wasn’t dangerous. He chose to come to the Sea as an escape and wanted to never invite attention to himself here. Bye bye to that plan, Furihata thought morosely.

The female cleared her throat once.

“He breathes, Your Highness.” “He smells different than that of a Land dweller. We have never smelled anything like it.” The guards stumbled over themselves to reply and Furihata could imagine them wringing their hands, hoping they wouldn’t lose their jobs or their necks over this. Or both.

“Hmm.” The voice was definitely closer now, so close to his cage. She had a floral scent to her, Furihata could easily imagine her to be the most beautiful female he would have set his eyes on. But. But, there was something next to her. Something darker, something stronger, something which seemed to pull him. Something which made the guards uneasy. Furihata bristled internally, waiting to be examined. “Take off his blindfold.”

Furihata gaped and shut his eyes against the brilliant lights inside the Hall and winced harshly. He opened them slowly to find the two guards standing a few feet away from his cage and inching further and further away. The female gave them a wayward nod and they scrambled out of the Hall, fins working furiously. Cowards. He took a deep breath and lifted his chin and turned to face the Royal Assholes, as his friends had once called them.

Red. Gold. And beautiful.

Furihata stared openly. There was a mermaid next to his cage, a dainty finger on her chin as she observed him and she was gorgeous. Furihata awarded himself points for being right about her being the most stunning example of her species. Pink hair and magenta eyes and porcelain skin and cupid bow lips and svelte body and long fins. Every man’s walking dream.

But he spared her barely a glance.

The true beauty, the actual definition of the word beautiful or in his humble opinion the originator of the word itself could be attributed to the merman next to her. Regal and posh, lean and vibrating immeasurable energy, all coiled strength and raw power, oozing elegance and authority with just a look, red hair framing his face, pointy nose and arched eyebrows, large, wonderfully crimson, eyes that pierced right into his soul, red and gold fins that shimmered under the bright palace lights, the merman was……….a sight Furihata would willingly give his life for.

He blinked. He blinked again.

Wait, what?

Ah. The allure.

The female didn’t affect him. Strange. Merpeople had intense allure but they didn’t affect him. None of the guards had any effect on him either. But the one before him now…….the effect had been euphoric. Furihata blushed and shook himself bodily and turned his face away. But not before catching a gasp and something of a smirk forming on the merman’s - beautiful, gorgeous, fucking spectacular - features.

“Furihata. That is your name, isn’t it?” Pink Hair asked.

He nodded, scooting a bit closer to the center of the cage. It was a special one, he could feel the magic thrumming under his hands, that enabled prisoners to breathe and allowed no water in. Like an bubble with iron bars, he thought wryly.

“Do you know why you are here?”

He shook his head. Pink Hair exchanged a look with Red Beauty. Red Beauty?? Oh god, he wanted to laugh at what his mind had thought up for the guy. Surely he would get killed if he told that to the merman’s face. Flattery or not.

She turned back to him just as he managed to stifle his laugh. “Furihata-kun. You……you are not from around here, are you?”

“No.” He tilted his head in confusion. “I am not a Sea dweller, if that is what you are-”

“I meant,” She interrupted, raising a hand and nearly touching the cage, “You are not a…….normal Land dweller, are you?”

He frowned, “Excuse me-”

“You are a Shapeshifter.”

Honey and velvet had a very very sexy baby once and they somehow lived on the merman’s tongue. Furihata’s brain was sparking madly with excitement - excitement? - but another, more reasonable, part of it was busy shutting it down saying “It’s allure you twat, cool your engines!” The reasonable part was winning right now.

He turned to the male, who was closer than before and it was wrecking havoc on his senses. He knew he was blushing, his skin felt hot and his ears were pricking and his nose was flaring up with that god awful - but oh so enticing, so fucking enticing - scent and if he could just wish for one thing before he died it would be to taste how that fucking sinful smirking mouth felt against his. His hands shoved in that supremely tempting hair, his mouth latched onto those goddammn illegal lips and chests pressed close - so close fuuuuuuuck-

The reasonable part of his brain screamed in defeat.

“You are, aren’t you?” A smile that should have been banned from all realms, spread on the face of the beautiful, beautiful merman. Furihata gritted his teeth and forced himself not to breathe until the guy moved safely away. Safe away for his conscience. But even in thought, his body was protesting the distance. Traitor.

He didn’t. In fact, he came closer to the cage. Furihata shot him a baleful glare.

Surprise etched the arrestingly attractive face. “You don’t know who I am.”

It wasn’t a question. It didn’t sound like one anyway. But the merman seemed a bit …..displeased because of it.

The female made to talk when he lifted a hand. “Its alright, Satsuki.”

Now, the merman not only looked a bit miffed but also….resigned. It was confusing to see. He looked at “Satsuki” and gave a small smile.

She glanced at Furihata sharply, magenta eyes scanning very inch of him, as if calculating his worth and seemingly satisfied, she nodded and returned his smile before swimming away from the Hall. Furihata watched her till she disappeared, feeling strangely bereft of her calming presence. Now he had to face the Epitome of Allure all by himself. He sighed, pitying his poor brain’s efforts to keep him sane.

“I can call her back, if she is who you want.”

He sounded the same as before, all velvety-honey-goddamn-sexy-ish but Furihata could detect he was slightly miffed and glanced up to find the merman carefully picking at his nails with a level of concentration they most certainly didn’t deserve. And now Furihata could only stare at those long fingered, tapered hands with neatly trimmed nails that he knew could grow into viciously sharp claws in an instant.

The reasonable part of his brain cried in frustration as it fought to make him sensible again. It was …… futile.

“What, why?” He blurted the first thing he could think of. So much for his sensible brain.

The merman opened his mouth to retort or to sneer but thought better of it and let his face lapse into the usual relaxed superior mask. “You really don’t know me, do you?”

He shook his head, “Unless you want me to make all sorts of guesses, you might as well……just…you know…..tell me.”

“I suppose. Although you most certainly seem to have been living under a cave if you don’t know me.” The merman sniffed. And brought himself to his full height and continued in a bored drawl. “Very well. I am Akashi Seijuro. King of the Seven Seas, Lord of the Oceans, Purveyor of all that live underwater.” He shifted his brilliant crimson eyes directly to Furihata’s, and his voice picked up some enthusiasm, “And you must be Furihata Kouki, possibly the last of the veteran clan of Shapeshifters, gifted with the Seeing Eye and a treasure that has been hidden away for far far too long only to land - quite so fortuitously, might I add - on my lap.”

He gawked. And gawked some more.

“Close your mouth, please. It does not become you.”

“Wait, what? What?” Furihata shook his head, hoping to unhear what….he just heard. “I am …….I am….not a treasure or whatever.”

Akashi waved a hand dismissively as he made himself comfortable outside the cage. Rocks that most certainly weren’t rocks but some other ridiculously expensive precious stones erupted at his wordless command, beneath him to make a bed. Plants sprouted out of nowhere, near the rocks to wind themselves around them, so Akashi can sit comfortably. Furihata watched as the King relaxed against his newly made bed and look at Furihata, and smile as if he had won a prize. As if Furihata was the prize.

“I really, really am not.” Furihata didn’t know why he had to repeat himself but Akashi for some reason didn’t believe him and he didn’t want to give anyone a false impression of himself. Even if its more flattering than anything he had ever heard from others. “I am not a treasure. Just a normal your everyday Shapeshifter. And I don’t know who told you I am the last one of us but….that’s wrong too. I think. I don’t know?? Who knows something like that?” He was certain one of them was mad. He was mostly sure that it was Akashi.

Akashi didn’t seem disturbed. “So you are saying you are just a shapeshifter? Just?”

He nodded, quiet. He is not sure if it could get any weirder than having a conversation with the King of Seas while he is trapped in a cage just minutes after diving into water but he has a feeling it will get weirder soon. He is not looking forward to that.

“Do you have any idea how powerful you are?” Akashi sat up and leaned closer, looking at Furihata avidly. “Let me tell you something.”

“The freedom you have is not something your kind could afford. Shapeshifters have the power to infiltrate intelligence agencies, topple governments, wreck damage and turn over the people’s sentiments and win wars and cause them at their will. You have the power to not just shift your body to suit your needs but also the power of Clairvoyence, inherited from the Witches that your kind migled with.

“You were weapons bred for politics and fought for by countries. Your forefathers didn’t choose to be clairvoyent or to shapeshift but it was thrust upon them and they were used mercilessly.

“And one time it became so much the your entire clan decided to commit collective suicide.” Akashi collects himself visibly before smiling wistfully at Furihata. “And that’s where you come in.”

“Your father fell for the High Priestess of a small village and had you before the decision was made. No shapeshifter was spared. The elders of your clan decided you all had wrecked enough chaos to incur Fate’s Wrath and wanted everyone to own up to their crimes. He and everyone else died just three days before you were born.

“Your mother did everything to protect you from it, from everything that could make anyone outside the village notice you and take you away.

“You, Kouki, had been hidden away from this all for so long.” Akashi nodded at the struck-dumb look that Furihata was sure was on his face. “Though I don’t blame your mother even a jot for this. If she didn’t do what she did, we…… Well, here we are.” He tries to smile but it wobbles slightly.

Furihata is left staring at him, trying to process this. He could not imagine his mother, his sweet sweet mother who was strict and calm and impossibly wonderful and supportive do something like this. He could remember asking about his father when he was young, very young and he would see his mother looking somewhere far far away wistfully before sniffing and smiling and ruffling his hair and telling him not to worry about him.

He learnt very early never to ask about his father. If it meant seeing his mother make that sad face again. Sometimes he would be playing chess or cooking with his mother and she would just look at him and shake her head and mutter,”Oh you are just like him” and he would carefully choose to ignore. He just assumed and lived his everyday life with the calm acceptance that his father hadn’t wanted him.

He never thought there was a deeper reason than that.

“Didn’t you ever wonder why no one was like you yet no one looked at you funny?” Akashi asked him gently, trying to make him surface from his meandering thoughts. “Didn’t you wonder why whenever there was news on another’s city’s battle, another country’s loss, the elders looked for you and you gave them a ….what? A statement? To prepare or to ignore? To assure them? That was your Seeing Eye, Kouki. Your mother had that and when you were born, her powers weakened.”

“That’s not-”

“Let me ask you this, did you or did you not See that you had to get the Sea as soon as your village was discovered?”

“That’s not true! You are just making things up! I can’t- I don’t- I-I…..I just had a feeling something was very wrong - very very wrong like when I feel sick and want to throw up - and that I had to get to the water somehow. Water was safe, that’s what I felt and I-I-water was where I had to…..be. Mother had agreed! Mother told me to get to the shore while she took…care ….of the fire. There was… fire in……the village…my friends….Oh god-” He stopped halfway and stared at Akashi, his eyes blown wide,”Oh god. Oh god. My mother!”

“Kouki. Kouki! Look at me, your mother is fine!” Akashi raised his voice, his hands flexing and wanting as if to touch Furihata and refraining barely. “Your mother is fine. She is alive and as all your villagers. They managed to evade the attack. Your identity is still undiscovered. You are safe. Ok? Do you hear me? Don’t worry. Kouki, please.”

Furihata fought for his breath, heaving and panting as his chest relaxed and stopped seizing up. He pushed up his bangs and closed his eyes as he thanked the heavens for the safety of his mother. He exhaled heavily. And frowned. “Then what I am doing here? Why did I have to get here? I can go back now, right?”

“You are here because of the Vow, Kouki.” Akashi hesitated before he plundered on at Furihata’s silence. “Your mother made my father Vow to protect you whenever the time came. The time could be mortal danger or anything equally dire. You are here because your Eye told you to. This is the place you will always be safe.”

“……..As your prisoner?” Furihata asked incredulously. This day could get weirder. He was sure.

Akashi hesitated even more this time. “No…..” He took a deep breath and muttered softly, “You- you really don’t remember, do you? Oh Father, if you weren’t dead, I would kill you myself right now.”

He faced Kouki and spoke stoically, looking as if he was readying himself for rejection. “You……they made modifications to your memories to make them less painful. Your mother was a very powerful Priestess, she made us …..forge a Bond and my Father oversaw that but he didn’t want you to ……I am really sure but I can guess he was afraid of the power you have over me and …….really I think he was trying to protect no one but himself, I am honestly not surprised at all. He has always been afraid of Shapeshifters and you are frankly the most powerful one of them all.

“So…….there it is. We Bonded over about two hundred years ago when we were really young, with witnesses involved and my Father, as usual blinded by power, didn’t want you to abuse it and so made your mother wipe our memories. But the Bond stayed - though dormant - and it made you come to me, immediately when you sensed danger. Your Eye is quite respectful of our Bond, might I add-”

“Wait- hold on- what the actual fuck- what- what are you saying?”

“I am….hold on…please…” Akashi moved his fingers across the barrier of the cage, fingers flitting over the magic. Furihata could feel a distinct pulse add to the thrumming magic and brain was just shooting itself from the inside with all the information overflow. He didn’t think he could handle it anymore.”….Do you….do you trust me?” Akashi bit his lip and peered at him from underneath his lashes. It was goddamn annoying the effect it had on Furihata’s heart. He stared back.

“I know you don’t have a reason to…..and I know this day has been too much for you…..”Akashi flounders, “But …..just please….. I need to show you something. Please.” He looks quite adorable pleading like that, as if imploring Furihata to acquiesce. Furihata gives him a short nod.

Immediately the cage vanishes and he is barely able to take a breath before the water closes the gap and drowns him. And he doesn’t drown. He can feel his neck slashing small rips and gills sprouting and fins erupting underneath his elbows and back. A long tail fin takes over where his legs had been and his body shifts to that of a merman like it was just muscle memory. The palace lights flare up on his reddish gold fins, too bright as if he is embracing the newness of his form. He gives himself an experimental swim in his place and finds the movements almost too easy.

He looks up to find Akashi smiling fondly at him. “Give me your hand, Kouki.” He says gently, a whisper of a plea in his tone as he extends his own hand.

Furihata feels the air around them shift with anticipation as he puts his hand on the palm, resignedly. Weirdest Day Ever.

He is not prepared at all for the painful surge of memories that assault him at the contact.

Its sharp, its brilliant, its like watching a movie of your self from a lens. Its fucking painful too. His brain is trying valiantly and failing in making him slow down the intake but its like a dam that broke and it was flooding him, choking him, pulling him down and down.

So many years, so many memories. They were really really young. Just children. Sitting by the pond. Holding hands. Playing hide and seek. Fighting fake battles - Akashi won everytime, Furihata can feel smugness rolling off him as Akashi sees the memories too. Making pinky promises. Akashi walking for the first time while Furihata runs. Furihata swimming and Akashi laughing at him. Furihata transforming into a huge dog just to lick Akashi’s face and console him when he misses his mother. Furihata transforming into a dragon and flying with Akashi riding him. Akashi gifting Furihata every precious stone he conjures and tells him to keep it. Akashi making a beaded necklace for the first time and Furihata wearing it proudly. Akashi kisses him on the cheek for that. They blush and laugh and hug.

The vow comes. Its words but words nonetheless and they hold hands and the magic binds them. Red and gold tendrils shoot out and twine around their wrists and disappear. Furihata saying goodbye to Akashi and Akashi held back by his father and promises to see each other tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes.

Furihata chokes, pulls himself out of the memories and sinks to the bed with his hands holding up his face, elbows on his knees.

Akashi sits by him and doesn’t say anything.

“How….why…..Why would-we were just kids-why would they think its okay to take us away from each other?”

Akashi makes a strangled sound, “I am sorry. I am so sorry I didn’t remember you. If I could have, I would have found you a lot sooner.” He clenches his fists on his lap. He bit out tightly, “They …were very successful in making it connect only when it was time.”

Furihata stays silent for a good few minutes. It feels surreal. His mind was trying to catch up and fix all the holes in his memories and working itself out and all he could feel was a strange sort of acceptance. Perhaps the Weirdness has finally reached its peak and nothing could faze him now. He sighs.

He nudges Akashi and asks softly when those brilliantly crimson eyes turn to him, slightly hopeful, “Is it time now?”

Akashi breathes deeply, “Forever and ever.” He vows, his eyes bright. He reaches forward hesitatingly, careful of Furihata’s reaction to snag one of his hands in his. Furihata smiles softly and links their fingers. Akashi closes his eyes at the contact. He opens them and gazes at Furihata adoringly, “You belong here, Kouki. With me. I don’t plan on letting you leave again.”

Furihata’s smile widens. For all the weirdness of today, it all turned out quite okay in the end, didn’t it? He could live with that. He thinks.

He leans forward to place a kiss to the back of Akashi’s hand in his, “I don’t plan to. We had fun, didn’t we?” Akashi nods solemnly thinking the same thing as Furihata. Of all the years wasted, away from each other. He suddenly has a thought and stops short, “But..…when did you remember your memories?”

Akashi grins positively devilishly. He leans to whisper in Furihata’s ear like its a delicious dirty secret, “When you looked at me like you wanted to devour me.”

Furihata splutters, blushing red to rival Akashi’s hair as Akashi chuckles evilly.

STORY NOTES [akafuri] : By The Next Sunrise

Because I had sooooo much fun doing this with a friend (@miss-cactus) :] (also being the first collab' work that's posted) and had a lot of messy notes and drafts, it's just so precious to me not to ramble about it >w< also plenty of fun times in just 2 and half months despite life biting my ass at the same time, totally my stress relief lol. Also, this story really isn't just some cheesy stuff for the sake of romance. It's genuine love (੭ ˃̣̣̥ ω˂̣̣̥)੭ु⁾⁾

Read the story here in AO3 Summary: On the way to his brother’s house, the spring showers had begun again. With an open palm, he let it collect the cold showers and let it flow out from the cups of his palm. They were chilly despite the warming sun, he looked up at the sky, and wondered what the rain would be like in other parts of the world. Furihata smiled. He would find out. Perhaps by one of the next sunrises.

.☆ﾟ.☆ﾟ.☆ﾟ.☆ﾟ.☆ﾟ.☆ﾟ. Rambles undercut ଘ(੭ˊ꒳ˋ)੭✧ .☆ﾟ.☆ﾟ.☆ﾟ.☆ﾟ.☆ﾟ.☆ﾟ.

FIRSTLY, @miss-cactus has all my gratitude ♡(ŐωŐ人) without her; AkaFuri will be stranded in France LOL! Seriously, I'll just dump them in some random village in France and just maybe not even finish this story at all even. The time she took to find me a place, translate, edits and also judging me for my description of the place LOL yep... total life saver. With her help it really motivated and inspired me a lot! She's the oil to my car............. you get the idea :] .

BONUS, she's also a translator and translated many amazing works, basically a deity, breathing life back into them. Also, she has original works too :D check 'em out, it's cute! It's in French, but they're easily translated, she's that good! (๑>◡<๑) her AO3

WEIRD FACT, I also had a short break up with my boyfriend of 7 years while writing this. LOL. I was so upset but I got motivated by the similarities, that when he asked for us back I was like 'But-but the similarities though!' but I love him....bleeegh. So I said yes, and we're better than before. YAY!

๑ Story Base ๑ The idea popped when I was listening to 'The sun after washed by spring rain' by Wang Lee Hom on a rainy day on my day off, and florist Akashi just looks so beautiful lol and the rest just came up.... and I really wanted this vibe for AkaFuri something incredibly soft and warm~ just cozy >w< huehue~

This story sets in Spring, spring here, spring there~ Spring is the breath of new life, basically Furi's story lol.

I was also aiming for this story to be short and a bit poetic...... LOL then 11k words later I just gave up and was like: well, if AkaFuri wanna romance then who are we to say no? (Akashi will shave my hair in my sleep lol)

๑ Playlist ๑ Play on Youtube The playlist is by order according to each part within the story. I really love to ramble about this since music is my inspiration for a lot of things and the vibe of the whole premise, section of their development and perspectives.

☆ 11 : 11 by Taeyeon Introducing Furihata's little sob lol and Furi's perspective. After Furihata breaks up with his girlfriend (who again, have no significant in his life what so ever), he goes through the phase on moving forward. It really isn't him moving forward with his feelings for her though, it's just him moving forward from the familiarity of being with her in his life. With her gone, he finally reconnects with who he is, like in this passage : "However, somehow with just a fling of his bag onto the island top threw him years back. He has not always been this tidy and clean." Furihata had basically lived his life to accommodate to those around him. (I wanna stress that Furi wasn't forced into a relationship or was it abusive. It was just a relationship with someone whom Furi had no infatuation for. It just so happens she wanted to date him after the wintercup, and Furi is just like 'yea ok?' but really he didn't exactly thought it through.)

So this is where Furihata moves on from the familiarity. He cries because they dated lol, but really he's just confuse.

☆ The Sun After Washed By Spring Rain by Wang Lee Hom Exactly one year after Furi's break-up. The source of this story idea lol. Also, Furi's perspective. The title and the song is literally what it meant; the sun after the spring rain which brings in new beginnings. I present you, this passage of the story: "Instead, with an open palm, he let it collect the cold showers and let it flow out from the cups of his palm. They were chilly despite the warming sun, he looked up at the sky, and wondered what the rain would be like in other parts of the world."

☆ Reunite by Jordie Power I present you, when Akashi appeared and Furihata's crush on Akashi just awakened and go haywire LOL! In this AU, Furihata has genuine feelings for Akashi. They were long time friends, and there were even a few emphasis of their friendship through high school but because Furihata has a girlfriend and Akashi respected that (although most times, in my brain, is just Akashi crying to Kuroko LOL!)

☆ Passage by Miyano Mamoru Furihata and Akashi's similarities. The song is basically about finding yourself as you age, the experiences you go through as you age (i'm 27 and i'm still confuse lol) Even though this story focuses on Furihata a lot and little less on Akashi except for little hints here and there, Akashi was just as lost as Furihata.

Random thought (as I type this), my boyfriend had told me this before "Even though we don't need each other, and do well on our own. We have friends but it's so different. Is just something different to have someone you love around, so to an extend, I really do need you and to share everything with you, it really makes me happy." it really is something different to have someone by your side especially when you found someone. (p/s: you definitely don't need to be in a relationship to feel complete. you complete yourself okay? :3) Furi and Akashi have been in-love since high-school, they have accomplished a lot on their own but in a passage, they both felt lost and felt like something was 'empty' that was because they were still in-love, and they met each other and truly want to spend their life together and share everything.

☆ Moonlight by Miyano Mamoru Mmmmmm~ the juice. This is Akashi's perspective when he wants to romance Furihata (∗ᵕ̴᷄◡ᵕ̴᷅∗)՞ and of course, sneakily confesses to him. OH MY GOODNESS! THIS IS LITERALLY THE PART THAT I'VE BEEN DYING FOR! and wrote it sooooo many times. I wanted it steamy and a little desperate after their long pent-up-frustration unprofessed love, without making it 'explicit' kind of way. So I hope I captured it right lolol.

☆ Make Me Love You by Taeyeon Furihata's feelings towards Akashi. I was pondering on a song that would fit Furihata's pull towards Akashi and how Akashi makes him feel every time. No other songs seems to feel like then I was randomly humming to this song while I was working and this is perfect! Also, a wonderful vibe.

I think it has been emphasised a lot on how Furihata reacts to Akashi, how he blushes like crazy, how he also subconsciously wants Akashi to make him fall in love with him. Because deep down, as again, Furihata genuinely loves Akashi but he was never daring enough to do it and since Akashi had never showed any indication, so Akashi had to confess in order for Furihata to be brave enough to smack their lips together to confess too.

☆ Je Fais De Toi Mon Essentiel by Emmanuel Moire Infinitely bless @miss-cactus (and her naughty brother lol) for this! This is song is seriously sooooo beautiful ;w; I don't care if reader's don't listen to the playlist, but OH MY GOD! If nobody had listened to this, is seriously missing out. (just as a song in general is beautiful) and the lyrics are just akjsfhakjsfhaf AKASHI'S WORDS! In Akashi's perspective and the song that Akashi sang to when they were in the car, and Cactus chose the perfect line for it ;w;

This song basically concludes everything!!! From their feelings for each other since high-school and all the way until the day they die! It's basically everything I wanted this story to be about, just their pure love for one another and to share their happiness together ;w;

Also, I want to point out in regards of Furihata's decision on staying in France. It's really not just a spontaneous and reckless decision lol. As stated and shown in the story, Furihata is somewhat a successful person with a career, but Furihata has other passion and interest which he seemed to enjoy doing which is photography and Akashi notices this. Even though with a career, at a time some will have a change of heart. So if Furi wants to stay in France with Akashi, he has thought it through enough, and can afford to even live by even without Akashi's money lolol. ๑ Premises ๑ Cactus, without her, AkaFuri will be hobos. I . AM . NOT . KIDDING ! She just whip out the map of France and pin point me to everything! I didn't ask for that but her soul is made from angel clay and she showed me this beautiful town, and I am floored! I didn't feel that much motivation and inspiration before o(≧∇≦o)

So why not Paris? XD 1, I didn't want Paris, I wanted a natural, country/cottage vibe and not the city. 2, proven by Cactus, "actual paris : if you want a cup of coffee you have to give up your wife and your 2 children bc it's way too expensive" (XD actually there's more but those parts are only between us lol) 3, I want to pull Akashi from his usual portrayal of rich and luxurious life style. I mean.... he's still rich, just not lavish in that lifestyle. In here, Akashi's basically bare as a canvas, and painting it on his own. 4, I google mapped Paris.... and if anything, Akashi and Furihata will probably get run over by traffic LOLOL! 5, we hate the crowds lolol and we'd do anything to drown the citizens for AkaFuri to be alone. I'm not even gonna be discreet about this xD.

☆ Mornac-Sur-Seudre This main village, is the most beautiful town picked by Cactus. It's not so 'in the face' although not so splashed in a lot of colours (except for the oyster huts), it is a very vibrant village. We totally fell in love with it. It's quiet, and not a lot of villagers, so it's perfect for AkaFuri to have their stroll hand in hand (人 •͈ᴗ•͈) They're also very famous for their oysters LOL! So yeah..... Akashi fed Furi oysters.... because....it's yummy.... LOL! Video reference here. There's another beautiful video but I can't find it no more. ;; Other references; here, here and here.

☆ Seagull Train Furihata loves train (and so do I) and since the train exists here! WHY THE HELL NOT?! I really love writing this part! I fell in love with the department Cactus picked and everything was so perfect and beautiful. Pictures and videos of it was just so breath taking ;w; and it's a steam train! I've never ride one before, but I have been into exhibits in the train museum. The smell is amazing lol. It's like sniffing my humidifier......but bigger.

This is the train I had saw mostly from it. the 030 T 3 from 1891. It's still operational so choo-choo!!! they go!

Video reference ; here Train reference; here, here Other references; here, here, here and here.

☆ Saintes & Royan These two towns are what's closest to Mornac. I didn't have much on Royan because Saintes had a beautiful charm, so this is where they would have their wonderful date <3 and talk a little bit about their feelings.

Cactus correcting me on the description on the city as I just woke up from my sleep, is seriously a way to wake up in the morning at 5am XD LOLOL!!

There's a few churches too, and has an interesting history from the Roman empire :D really intriguing.

The bridge where they have their little confession in high-school (◡‿◡✿)

This video here, absolutely pretty!

☆ Akashi's Floristry; Fleurs d’acacia Cactus picked out the most beautiful name! "So either L’acacia (just the tree) or Fleurs d’acacia (acacia flowers)" The Acacia because it rhymes with Akashi's name : Aca - as in 'Aka' in Akashi. Ci - as in sea...because they're near the ocean. A - as in....... h(a)m because Cactus said so... and I can't even disagree because it's where Furi getting some of those..... meat....because Akashi's ham.....like his meat.......y'know..... We're very dignified ( ᵘ ᵕ ᵘ ⁎)

The design of Akashi's 3 story shop/studio/apartment..... I really don't have any reference, it's all in the head LOLOL! Akashi basically lives in simplicity, his shop all on the ground floor, and the second floor is his art studio where paints and do whatever he wants. Finally the third floor is where he stays, it was wasn't very detailed but it's very spacious and cozy >w<!

☆ The Drive-in theatre Bruuuuuh......the confession is the thing! Akashi sneaking in his opportunity to confess. What more is there need to be said? AkaFuri : mlemlemlemlemlemlemlemlem~

Ohh~ Akashi's pretty Bentley of course.

☆ The Landes The finale of their romance ❀.(*´◡`*)❀. I think we all know what a Volkswagen van looks like LOL! And they had the funky in the van and Akashi took Jean's advice with the bamboo charcoal.

Cactus showed this pretty place and I'm just ヽ(；▽；)ノ

Of course I'd really like to say it again. Furihata's decision to stay with Akashi was really not for the sake of a 'happy ending' or so. They've had deep feelings for each other since high-school and bonded closely, but Akashi didn't show any indication of romantic interest out of respect for Furihata's relationship, and Furihata knowing nothing about Akashi's mutual feelings just kept his feelings to himself. As told by the story, Furihata has a career and stable income. But even though his life is dandy in Tokyo with his job, that doesn't mean it's something he wants to keep pursuing or maintain, as we age, we search for something else to add into our experience. Not to say that we're forever unsatisfied, it's just how life is. We accomplish something, and we move on to another thing, and then another and another. It's really something beautiful about it, and life's just us exploring :] In Akashi and Furihata's case, is that they've already have what they wanted, a life of their own, choosing their own path and what they don't have was each other and now that they've bonded and opened up themselves, they can finally pursue another beautiful life together (>*^▽^*<)

๑ Book, Night on the Galactic Railway by Kenji Miyaza ๑ This is a real book. Also, my favourite! There is an anime as well, but if anyone wants the PDF feel free to drop me a DM and I'll give it to ya'.

In here, the story of the galactic railway impacted their lives a little bit differently. With Akashi the loss of his mother and Furihata to live the last adventure before death.

It is shown they have extreme love for this book, and it really is a beautiful book and there's just endless things to talk about, as it is place in an infinite travel of the train through the galaxy, meeting new people, seeing new things, the mysteries of stories and making meaningful relationship despite never being able to see them again.

The sentiment of Giovanni and Campanella is also similar to Akashi and Furihata. Before anything else, they want to have their adventure together before eventually parting their ways (and i really mean, until death do them apart.)

๑ Other Juices ๑ There some nitty stuff that aren't just there for show xD Well, kind of but there's some sentiments and stuff so...

☆ The Sunflower Maybe because I'm bias to sunflowers LOL! But Furihata is pretty with yellow! Sunflowers with darker brown florets are absolutely beautiful. The pendent I had in mind was literally the one I had when I was a kid (but I donno it's gone now lol). I googled other sunflower pendent but it's ugleh...

It associates with the theme of this story which is 'Sunrise' as in new beginnings, Furihata's fresh start to pursuing the person he actually loves.

Sunflowers also grow towards the sun. They radiate pure joy and positivity. They also symbolise unwavering faith and unconditional love; which is AkaFuri's undying love here despite the years.

Sunflowers are also given to show their deepest to the person, so Akashi gift him a sunflower :3 also because Furi looks pretty in yellow, fight me.

In chinese myth, sunflower are best for business... So with Furi around, Akashi's business will bloom LOLOL!

Funfact: In greek myth, a nymph named Clytie fell deeply in love Apollo, god of the sun. Although Clytie was beautiful by nymph standards, Apollo did not reciprocate her feelings, or acknowledge it. (except Akashi appreciates Furi's love okay?) After days of hopeless devotion, the nymph then transformed herself into a sunflower and constantly turned towards the sun so she could always be with the one she loved (Furihata's chasing sunrises because Akashi is there ok?).

☆ The Happy Street Cats :D This is actually a real book I have, a gift by my teacher before I leave S.Korea. The passage idiom is extracted by this page as well.

The front cover of the book is also yellow.

Yellow : Sunrise + Sunflower.

There's so much yellow in this story LOL!

☆ The Movie Cactus : Idol movie Me : *internal screaming* I swear we are always soooooooo close to making this whole thing crack XD

This scene is a real brain wreck lololol. (Still contemplating if it was romantic enough)

☆ Akashi's Florist number I extracted that number from an oyster restaurant LOLOL! Thankfully Cactus changed it.... we were planning on a crack bonus in which, Furihata orders oysters before calling Akashi.

It didn't happen. But if it did.

Furihata will order some oysters. And not regret it.

*Akashi judging*

☆ French Dialogues + Akashi teaching Furihata French Bless Cactus, she's my happiness now. I have no idea how many weird noises were coming out from our mouths just to understand how the French consonant 'R' sounds like to put it into words LOL! XD Without her, it'd be a disaster.

We were looking at other romantic phrases and found the perfect one ;w;

“Je suis ton bonheur.” means "I am your happiness" (oh god, google translate voice just keeps playing in my head LOLOL! help) Which, what else can be said? LOL Akashi's happy ok? Since this story is from Furihata's perspective, I really wanted to put him into the spot of being a foreigner (he speaks english and mandarin lolol just clueless in French, because Akashi is supposed to guide him). So while Cactus work her magic, being the Akashi to my Furihata. I tried to emphasis a lot on the characters expression etc, at least to indicate of what was going on....tbh even I forgot what they were saying. *just as clueless as Furi and Cactus cackling somewhere.

Everything in here is just Cactus being amazing ;w; and pure patience LOLOL!

๑ Side Characters ๑

☆Shérine ............ We butchered the original female side. Her name was Camille.... but I was sooo tempted to name it after *coouugh* :] because it's pretty. Also her hair was blond with hazel-green eyes.... yea we buried her.

Shérine wins now... Shérine is life.

Shérine will be in their wedding.

☆Jean Kirstein (of AOT) It's JEAN! ...........someone gotta tease Akashi with no filter.

(ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ FINAL NOTES

The last section when Furihata wakes up and makes his decision, believe it or not, I was in the bus. While typing to Cactus, I was literally shaking in the bus and my eyes stung because of dust and I was in tears. I was between crying and laughing. Finished it at home ;w; Cactus was such a darling through it all.

I really had fun writing this with Cactus ;w; she's the best!!!!!!! And hopefully we'll make some crack stuff because we're hooligans like that XD.

:D BYE!

#akafuri #personal #i write stuff #rambles #;w; i really love this one
