Chapter 52 Akashi's crush

June 19, 2019

At around 8:30 AM, Hiro arrived at his school all by himself. Because of some urgent work, his mother had to leave in a hurry that day.

And thus, she couldn't accompany him all the way to the school. Hence she dropped him off at a certain distance away from the school and left in a hurry.

Usually he'd always be late for school because of his early morning nap after the morning workout. But that day because of his mother's work, she had rushed him to the school quite early in the morning.

Just as he was about to reach the school gate, he heard a familiar voice calling out his name from behind him. Wondering who was calling him so early in the morning, he turned his head around to see the person who was calling him.

As he turned around, he noticed Akashi sprinting towards him while shouting his name. Witnessing his appearance, Hiro paused midway and waited for him to catch up to him.

It didn't take Akashi that long to reach him. He immediately caught up to him in a matter of some seconds.

After reaching him, he paused for a while and began to pant heavily. For a while he couldn't speak anything because of his earlier sprint.

And as his breathing stabilised, he lifted his head up and stretched his arms towards Hiro. He then rested his arms on top of Hiro's shoulder and looked at him as if he was about to do something totally idiotic.

Hiro didn't like the look on his face.

'What's this moron going to do now?' Hiro wondered as he puzzlingly casted his glance at Akashi's face. He was puzzled by the look on his face.

Akashi then looked him in the eyes and revealed a crooked smile.

"The king of Ookami elementary school's football team has graced us with his presence so early in the morning today. Has the sun risen from the west today? " As he mumbled, he turned his gaze towards the direction of the sun. "The sun's shining brilliantly and it hasn't risen from west too. So that means that the day of prophecy has finally descended upon us."

"And since his majesty has graced us with his presence so early in the morning, it's only right for us peasants to bow their head and show respect to his majesty." Akashi then bowed his head down while placing his right hand beneath his chest.

"Please accept this humble peasants greetings your majesty." He exclaimed in a loud voice.

While Akashi was performing his idiotic role play, Hiro began to vigorously shake his head. Akashi's idiotic act was making him uncomfortable.

Fortunately nobody was present around there to witness Akashi's embarrassing role play.

"Now! Stop with this ridiculous role play Akashi." He exasperated as he tried to lift his head up.

Just at that moment, out of nowhere Ichijo Ryu made his appearance. Although he was still far from them, he witnessed that ridiculous roleplay of Akashi.

"May be both of them are actually a part of a gang. And I guess Hiro senpai is the leader of that gang. So he was only trying to conceal his identity by misguiding me back then when I asked him if Akashi senpai belonged to a gang." Ryu's voice shook as he witnessed the sight infront of him.

Witnessing the sight of Akashi bowing his head infront of Hiro, he froze in his place and began to step back. Just then Hiro noticed Ryu.

As he noticed Ryu, he forcibly lifted Akashi's head up and called out for Ryu.

"Ryu!! Where are you going? The school's this way you know?" Hiro yelled while pointing at school.

Upon getting called by Hiro, a shiver ran down his spine. He then nervously lifted his head up and faced Hiro.

'Now what should I tell him? I don't want to face him. He looks so scary right now.' He began to have weird thoughts about Hiro.

After witnessing that incident, he began to imagine Hiro as some kind of boss of a gang who only pretended to be nice.

Because of the earlier incident with Akashi, he started to get anxious while facing Hiro.

And even though Hiro only asked him simple questions, he misinterpreted them in a negative way. From his perspective, Hiro's words read as such;

"Where are you going without showing your respect to me? Now accompany me to school or else you'll get beaten."

Paralyzed by the fear of getting beaten by Hiro inside his head, he froze in his place. While rolling his eyes here and there, he began to think of excuses to avoid Hiro.

"I.. I.. I just dro...pp...eed my money. So... I... was ju....ss..t... go...ii...nn...g back to re...tri...eve... it." He stammered while replying.

"Oh!! Okay!! Do you want my help?" Hiro expressed his desire to help him.

Hearing Hiro's reply, Ryu shook his head and immediately ran away.

"Why's he acting so strange?" Hiro mumbled as he witnessed Ryu's weird behaviour.

"I bet he thinks you're some of kind of boss of a gang. Hahaha..." Akashi who was standing beside him chuckled.

"And who's fault is it?" Hiro intoned as he rolled his eyes towards Akashi and gave him a cold stare.

"Hahaha..., Sorry about that!" Akashi goofily apologized.

"Sigh!!"

"Whatever!! I'll clear his doubts later in the evening training. Now let's head inside." Hiro revealed a deep sigh and shrugged off Akashi's behaviour.

Chatter!! Chatter!!

As they headed inside the school, they noticed many students gathered infront of the notice board.

"What's happening over there?" Confused by the commotion taking place infront of him, he questioned.

"May be they're waiting for his majesty's arrival. Hahaha..." Akashi chuckled.

"Yeah!! Yeah!! Now stop with your jokes or else I'll tell Sumi Nanami that you have a crush on her."

"No! Please don't do that. I'll stop!! I'll stop it right away. So please don't do that."

Akashi began to beg as Hiro mentioned him about revealing his secret to Sumi Nanami.

Sumi Nanami was the student council president of Ookami elementary school. With long straight black hair and upturned eyes with black pupil, she always wore a gentle smile on her face. Always greeting everybody with a smile, she was a social butterfly who was well liked by everyone at the school.

While they were goofing around, suddenly from behind them Sumi Nanami made her appearance.

About 4 feet 3 inches tall with a slender figure, she was a year older than him. Her milky white skin complimented her small nose and glossy red lips. Especially the bangs above her eyes which covered her forehead further highlighted her beauty.

A combination of pleasant personality with an ethereally beautiful face, she was very famous in their school.

Along with Hiro, she was one of the two personalities who were extremely famous throughout Ookami elementary school.

"Good morning Hiro." She greeted him with a smile on her face.

Just as she made her appearance, Akashi went completely silent. With his cheeks turning red, he stood straight with his chest puffed out.

"Oh! It's you Nanami. Good morning." Hiro casually greeted her back without putting any emphasis on his words.

"You have arrived quite early today Hiro." She began to strike a conversation with him in her soft voice.

"Yeah!!" He gave her one word answer and tried to shrugg her off.

Because both of them were well known personalities in their school, they had encountered each other several times in the past. And Nanami being an extrovert always tried to converse with him whenever she encountered him.

At first Hiro tried to ignore her as much as possible. But no matter how much he tried to ignore her, she wouldn't stop trying to befriend him.

And thus because of her continuous pestering, he befriended her thinking that she would stop after he agreed to her request. But on the contrary, she started to blabber even more.

While she was trying to converse with him, Akashi began to poke him.

"Ahh!! Nanami!! This here is my friend Nobara Akashi." Hiro introduced Akashi to Nanami.

"Oh! Hello!! Aren't you the defender of our school's football team?" She exclaimed as she tried to recognise his face.

"Yes!! Indeed!! I'm the defender of our school's football team. I didn't know that you knew about me." Akashi intoned while revealing a nervous smile on his face.

'How would I not know you when you're always running around Hiro.' She thought to herself while curling her lips inside her mind.

However on the outside, she didn't let go of her smile. "How could I not know the defender who puts his life on the line to protect our team's goal."

Hearing such praises from his crush, Akashi's heart rate spiked as he began to visualise the two of them going out on dates together.

He was thrilled to hear such praises from his crush. He felt like he was over the moon.

"By the way! What's happening over there?" Hiro interrupted.

As he interrupted Akashi's conversation with his crush, Akashi began to stare at him with his eyes wide open.

"It's just that the news regarding the transfer of Takefusa Kubo to the world renowned club 'Real Madrid' has been pasted on the notice board. That's why everybody's gathered there to read the news." contemporary romance

"Seems like the prophecy was meant for someone else." Akashi whispered in delirium as he heard the news from Sumi Nanami.
