Summary: Moments from Small step and Forbidden Love
The nightfall; fully crust moon shined brightly in the midnight sky. Owls, fireflies, crickets and much other night animals come to life as the evening has just commenced. It is around this time that families, friends and business workers depart from one another and meet their ecstatic dreams. The sun has withered away, and now, it is time for sleep.
However, one little boy thought different.
Wondering the house aimlessly, a young bluenette walks downstairs with a stuffed animal in his tiny hands and his blue eyes were wide open; smile across his face and he is full of energy. The boy consider; he can stay up the whole night without any sleep.
Walking straight ahead in the central hall, Kuroko scan the gallery, he has no idea what to do until a thought appears in his head, and he then walks towards the kitchen. He passes pictures, portraits, and other things too, but he never stopped to glance at them, no, he has more important things to do.
After walking through the hallways, he reaches his destination. Opening the door slightly, Kuroko peeks through the small opening and peers around the kitchen to see pots and pans hang from the ceiling including cakes covered with a shield glass, fruits inside a bowl, and most importantly, no one in sight. A ghost smile forms on his face, and he enters the kitchen.
-Upstairs-
It has been twenty minutes since Kuroko has not come back. Such misery. Akashi despised being alone; without Kuroko, he could not sleep nor can he even think right, and the red-haired boy hated it. Snarling slightly under his breath, Akashi slips on his slippers and walks out of the room heading downstairs.
Why would Kuroko awake without telling him? Perhaps he did not want to wake him from his slumber. But if so, Akashi has already told Kuroko that he is welcome to wake him up at any time. Such possibly that the bluenette just wanted a snack was far from Akashi mind. He acknowledged that sometimes, Kuroko would like to be alone, but then again, the bluenette would whine about Akashi not being there for him. How ironic.
Reaching the bottom step, Akashi heard a noise. Now, paranoia was getting to him. Of course, the red-haired male was never the one for such things, but ever since Kuroko's persistence of proving that the supernatural does existence, Akashi could not help but think they might be real. Nah, Akashi isn't that childish he still believes that the supernatural is just something people make up to scare others.
Walking to the living room, the source of the noise, he can hear a commotion and Kuroko's voice? No, it can't be. Running to the doors and busting it open, Akashi was in sight of the TV on and a bluenette eating ice cream with smudges of food across his face.
Kuroko twists his head and saw Akashi standing at the door with an annoyed look on his face.
"I can explain, Sei-nii," Kuroko says, silently. "I—well you see—"
"Can you truly explain yourself, Tetsuya-nii?" Akashi interrupts. Kuroko can clearly tell that Akashi is annoyed by his actions, however, the bluenette will manage to get out of this predicament.
Silence has taken over the room, and the two boys stare at each other. Kuroko sigh's and broke the uncomfortable reticence between the two.
"I became hungry and I did not want to wake you up." A slight breeze passes the two and Akashi, believe or not, was amazed.
"Why do I even bother? You better have saved me some," Akashi says a bit sleepy. He walks over and crawls up to the couch and took a seat next Kuroko.
"We can share." Kuroko offers, peacefully.
"Sure, why not." Akashi accepts, smiling towards Kuroko and begins to watch the cartoons on the TV.
And with that, their night of ice cream and junk filled them with happiness.
Extending ending
A red-haired man stood before his two children. Akashi head nuzzled Kuroko's neck and the bluenette arms were wrapped around the Akashi's waist. The man stern frown softens; sure, his wife has died and his heart still aches, however, the two boys replaced that hurt into love although he never shows it, he loves them both dearly, after all, they are all he has left as family.
Walking away from the scene, he had a small smile on his face. This was the only way he can show his love by allowing them to be free, for now, that is.
A/n: I enjoy making brotherly Akashi and Kuroko so much so I made yet another story with them, but this is somewhat a drabble about moments between the two and if you're not familiar with Small Step and Forbidden Love, then you might not understand some things.
Thanks for reading.
