STEPBROTHER (HAIKYUU X KUROKO NO BASKETBALL SUMMER CAMP)
65

"Why not familiarize yourself with the Ushijima family?" ask Kenta's secretary who was accompanying Akashi to walk around the Hospital, while Ushijima was preoccupied by his father's arrival.

"I don't want to bother them, Ushijima-san must really want to have a lot of time with her father."

"You're starting to understand other people huh, Seijuro. The late Madam must be proud of you" said Secretary Kenta, who was only greeted with a smile by Akashi.

"I'm like this, you're the one who hasn't greeted me for a long time."

"Yes, you're right. I haven't seen you in a long time, since your father gave me more trust to take care of half the company's management." Secretary Kenta admits to his longstanding mistake of never having time to see Akashi. In the past, he still remembered that he was just a secretary who worked to take care of little Akashi and overcome the problems made by Akashi. And as the younger brother of his late mother Akashi, Secretary Kenta must have a great responsibility for his nephew. Yes, Akashi is the only nephew Secretary Kenta has had until this point.

Although the two were often formal, he always considered Akashi to be part of his older sister's legacy. He even considered Akashi as his own son. Although until this moment, he did not really like to familiarize himself with Masaomi and Akashi. To him, the two of them were superiors that should be respected by him. And Masaomi's decision to remarry after a brief relationship with several other women became a strong reason for Secretary Kenta to limit the family ties that once existed between them. It could be said, for him the family bond had long since the departure of his older sister. He was just a staff working for Masaomi at the moment, that was what he had been holding so closely.

"Then, what about today? Am I interrupting your work, Mr Kenta?" ask Akashi.

"Of course, I just spontaneously asked your father's permission to take care of this matter of yours. I might miss you" replied Kenta, who turned to Akashi. He could see the disappointed look on Akashi's face that made him wonder.

"Why, Seijuro? Did I talk to you wrong?" ask Secretary Kenta.

"I was just disappointed, I thought Papa told you to help me."

"You don't have to be that disappointed, your father loved you so much behind his cold attitude."

"Yes, you're right." Akashi smiled again. Then he stopped at the edge of the Hospital Corridor which was directly connected to the park, coincidentally when the sky was clear where several nurses were accompanying patients to enjoy the afternoon air around the Park.

"I heard that your wife is pregnant, you want to be what kind of father, Mr Kenta?" tanya Akashi turned to Secretary Kenta.

"Not yet to know, this is my first time being a father. It's possible that I'll do the same with my son, as I've been doing to you all along." Mr. Kenta fixed his glasses that came down. At first glance, he was indeed a little similar to Midorima in terms of physique and appearance. However, it closely resembles Akashi in terms of neatness and charisma.

"Maybe I'll take care of him as carefully as I took care of you first. I will also read her a fairy tale before going to bed and treat her knee that was injured from falling off the bike. Like I was treating your knee that was injured from learning to ride a bike" Secretary Kenta said.

Akashi smiled with satisfaction, "Are you going to ask him to play basketball every afternoon?" ask Akashi.

"Yes, if indeed my son has a talent interest in playing basketball. I will support my son's dreams fully" Kenta replied.

"Good." Akashi was silent for a moment, he enjoyed every beauty of the garden before him while feeling the wind that danced around him.

"Sir Kenta!" call Akashi.

"I forgot that I haven't thanked you in years, can I hug you as my sincere thanks?" ask Akashi.

"Yes," Secretary Kenta replied without questioning Akashi, he even acted calmly by widening his arms to let Akashi hug him. However, he already considers Akashi as his own son. Moreover, he had been looking after his nephew since he was the head two years ago, surely he must have a deep longing for his nephew who had grown up this.

"Thank you" said Akashi, he tried to lower his own ego, because there is nothing wrong with also expressing his gratitude to others with thanks.

Secretary Kenta smiled, "I've guessed that you miss me a lot, whether it's as an uncle or secretary of your family."

Akashi clasped Kenta's shirt from behind until it made his clothes crumpled, "No idea, I just feel how lucky I am to be your son."

"My boy?" ask Secretary Kenta.

Akashi let go of his embrace, he still smiled and slightly stepped back. " Yes, I used to think like that every time Papa let me down."

"That means I'm just an outlet for your heartache, you really look just like your mother." Secretary Kenta almost feels tricked if he is worth it in Akashi's eyes.

"It's good that I look more like Mama, I don't want to be juxtaposed with Papa as if I were a mirror reflection of her." Akashi even looks proud, he seemed to feel bored when overshadowed by the existence of his father.

Even when he won Basketball with his team, people still think of him as great as his father. In fact, it was clear he inherited the ability of basketball from his mother who was very happy with everything related to Basketball.

"So, how's your basketball game now? Is it better than before?" ask Secretary Kenta who's trying to shift the conversation. The reason it was quite simple, he did not want to discuss everything related to my feelings. He just wants to keep his awareness that he is still a subordinate who works for Masoami.

"It's better than ever, "he replied.

"With such a situation?" his question seemed to point to Akashi's eyes.

"Yes, my talent" a phone call immediately stopped Akashi's words. He immediately raised the call without Loud speakers and walked a little away from Secretary Kenta.

Meanwhile, Kenta's secretary was just standing there staring at the beautiful sky above. For a moment he could still feel the smell of Akashi which was very similar to his late sister. Not to mention, the hug forced her to recall the hug her brother gave her as a child.

Without even a single thought about his words that could hurt Akashi's feelings, or rather he already memorized Akashi's personality which did not make him think again to say anything.
