STEPBROTHER (HAIKYUU X KUROKO NO BASKETBALL SUMMER CAMP)
91

"Nothing! I'm fine and don't mind me, Wakatoshi!" akashi was getting upset.

"You can tell me anything, I'm your big brother." Ushijima turned to Akashi. Akashi was silent for a long time and looked doubtfully at Ushijima. Until finally, he began to sit on the bed and lean his head against the wall.

"If our parents were divorced and separated, would our fraternal relationship end?" ask Akashi.

Ushijima raised next to his eyebrows, "Of course not! I've committed to you being your brother forever, there's no reason to break up our fraternity."

"Then, what do you think of Yuki? Can he be like you too?"

Ushijima only fell silent as he listened to the question Akashi had asked just now. He could not give any answer to the difficult question and he also did not want to lie to Akashi, especially Akashi is not the type of human who is easily lied to that easily.

"Forget my question, Wakatoshi. Obviously you and Yuki are two different people." Akashi sighed.

"I'm sorry, sometimes there are some questions that you won't be able to find the answer to before you prove yourself. One of them is your relationship with Yuki."

Ushijima grabbed the Volleyball from his backpack and threw the ball at Akashi. Akashi throws the ball back to Ushijima and makes the two throw-catch each other.

"So, should I try to talk to her again? Should I lower my ego?"

Ushijima nodded while throwing a volleyball at Akashi again, "There's no harm, right? Yuki is your older brother after all. He'll love you."

"What if he hates me? What if his condition gets worse when he meets me again and makes Papa hate me even more?"

"You scared? Just this time I saw an Akashi who was scared that much" said Ushijima as he caught a ball from Akashi.

"I'm not afraid, Wakatoshi! I just feel confused. I was confused about how to be a good child to his parents, I was also confused about how to be a good brother to you and Yuki and I was also confused about how to be myself. Everything feels gray, dark and stuffy." Akashi lowered his head and stopped throwing volleyballs at Ushijima. And the current state of Akashi is completely hated by Ushijima.

He never liked to see his sister slumped and desperate like this. If told to choose, Ushijima would rather see Akashi's annoying arrogant and arrogant attitude than see him sad and confused.

"Hey, Seijuro! You wanna run till morning, right?"

"Now? Are you challenging me?"

"Maybe. I'm really sick of seeing you whiny and spoiled like that." Ushijima wears his sports shoes.

"Did you bring any sports shoes?" tanya Ushijima who replied with a headband from Akashi.

Ushijima immediately threw his old sports shoes. "Wear this! Maybe the size fits you, because it's my shoe at Junior High."

"Hey! Are you insinuating me short?" lamented Akashi.

"Wear it and don't complain!" tukas Ushijima directly out of the room window to the compound house. And started to run first leaving Akashi who followed behind him.

Ushijima itself looks very enjoy the atmosphere of the night at this time, he who often spent time running around the city did not mind at all to delay his sleeping hours to be able to accompany Akashi who was thinking a lot. And it seems that every step he took at this time made Ushijima realize one important thing in his life. Ushijima began to understand that the responsibility as an older brother is much heavier and bigger than being a Volleyball athlete.

"So you're better now?" ushijima asked as he continued to run next to Akashi.

"Yes, it's also 05:00 in the morning. We have to go back!" take Akashi who is accelerating his pace. Both of them were already completely flooded with sweat with bawling breaths. But it seems like fatigue does not make the footsteps of these two teenagers just stop.  The two still continued to run towards the residence where his biological father Ushijima lived while occasionally laughing without cause as the two looked at each other. It does not take many words to explain that their brotherly relationship has been getting closer and better.

Until the smile from Ushijima's face immediately collapsed when he saw several police cars already crowded in front of the bunk house. Two white ambulances were transporting the bodies of two adults and two young children identified by Ushijima.

Not to mention that some police immediately calmed Ushijima and tried to explain the situation to the third grade High School boy. Meanwhile, Akashi could only stand a few meters away from the location of the bunk house with a confused and angry face.

"You saw what happened to Ushijima's family, right?" whispered slowly Secretary Kenta who somehow already beside Akashi with a neat appearance like an office worker in general.

"You did all this to the Wakatoshi family?" asked Akashi who was already filled with anger and hatred.

"I'm just following orders from your father, you should understand that money can do anything." Secretary Kenta ruffled Akashi's hair.

"I'll kill you, Kenta!" threaten Akashi who is trying to hold back his current emotions.

"Stop fighting, Seijuro. I will never be afraid of your threats and anger. Better go home or you'll have to see another body."

Akashi said nothing. He ignored Secretary Kenta and walked over to Ushijima with trembling hands. He felt really guilty towards Ushijima at this moment.

At the same time, Ushijima also ran towards Akashi and hit his sister many times. For the first time, Akashi just silently received a blow from Ushijima's anger.

"It's all your fault, Akashi Seijuro! You are a fucking carrier! Give me back my father and stepmother! Return my sister!" yelled Ushijima who was still beating Akashi.

Secretary Kenta just watched them from a distance while trying to negotiate with the police on duty at the time. After all, he did not need to worry about Akashi's current state. Secretary Kenta memorized that Ushijima would never be able to kill his half-brother and vice versa.

While Akashi could only go silent and let his face be hit hard by Ushijima who was completely filled with anger over the death of his family. In fact, he did not stop issuing various hate speech that is usually very far from his character.

"Kill me, goddamn it!" akashi shouted for the first time after choosing silence since then.

"Yes, I'm gonna kill you! If I had never cared about you, my life would not have been this difficult and I would have never lost anyone. You deserve to die!" ushijima snapped back hitting Akashi quite hard the last time. Before he finally gave up and walked away without direction leaving all the chaos that had occurred back then.

"You said you wouldn't leave me! Where are you going, Ushijima-san?" yelled Akashi who was still lying on the ground. But none of Ushijima's answers kept walking away.

"Oniichan!" call Akashi again in a very slow tone, before finally he was completely unable to see Ushijima's back away.
