Akashi Seijurou was an enigma, Kuroko decided, as he watched the red-head interact with the girls. It was said that he would date any girl that asked for a week, and then break up with them as soon as the week ended.

"I couldn't fall in love with you. Let's end it here."

However, Kuroko knew there was more to the story than the girls squealed about. He was there the first time this occurred; Akashi might have known about him, but he highly doubted it.

A girl had cornered him, and while Akashi had the ability to force her away, he was raised to be polite to females. From there, it soon became a confirmed thing for Akashi to do.

This week, however, Akashi had politely refused to date anyone during the short break allotted. Kuroko felt a bit curious, only because he had a feeling that his words earlier had caused this.

"Akashi-san, please date me." It was said on a whim, his curiosity and admiration causing the phantom to ask this.

He heard the door slide open, and he turned his head towards the front of the room—it would not do for him to space out during math, of all classes.

There wasn't any thought towards Akashi until lunch started. He was sitting at his desk when Akashi entered the room and asked for him to follow, even if it sounded more like a command.

Without the ability to deny Akashi of anything, Kuroko silently picked up his lunch and followed Akashi out to the roof of the school.

"Akashi-san, are we lovers?"

Heterochromatic eyes looked back towards him, as if it was seeing through him. Kuroko fidgeted slightly, uncomfortable because it seemed as if Akashi could see through him.

Akashi finally answered, seemingly disappointed with what he had. "Yes we are, Kuroko Tetsuya."

While he would like to say that it was a joke, some part of Kuroko knew that he could never get away with it. Instead of pointing out the obvious, he smiled and replied, "Thank you, Akashi-san."

"We're dating, Tetsuya. At the very least, use a more informal honorific, if you're not calling me by my first name."

Kuroko couldn't help but feel as if he was being ordered around by his lover of a week. It bothered him a bit because, in the end, when they broke up, he would have to force himself to revert back to the more proper honorific. Worse than that, though, was the fear of becoming too attached to Akashi if he agreed to his request.

"I rather not, Akashi-san." Kuroko knew that it was wrong to defy the red-head, but he had to stand his ground on that, at least.

It looked as if Akashi was going to argue, but then he nodded rather stiffly. If anything, Kuroko would soon bend to his will and he would call him by his first name.

"The bell is going to ring, Akashi-san. Please excuse me; I have to go to class."

Akashi gave his permission, and Kuroko was soon going to his class, where he noticed that some girls were now glaring at him. While mildly shocked that he was noticed, he merely ignored them and sat at his seat.
