Chapter 1:
It's been 2 weeks since the Winter Cup and Akashi had seen Kuroko in new light. But soon Akashi realized not long after that he loved Kuroko. Ever since this realization, he has tried to figure out a way to confess.
"How is it that Tetsuya can make me this weak and confused." Akashi said frustratingly.
"Seijuro, is it about this Tetsuya you keep talking about?" his father asked amused as he watched his son bang his head on the table.
"Yes Father, it is about Tetsuya again, I have yet to figure out how to confess." Akashi sighed as he lifted his head from the table.
"Do it like how your father did Seijuro." his mother suggested as she sat down beside his father.
"Now now Mary, Seijuro here wants it to be extremely special." his father chided.
"Keijo!" his mother Mary gasped, "Your confession was special too!"
"Yes, but this Tetsuya is different as you know." Keijo said.
"Oh! I know how you can confess Seijuro!" Mary said as she straightened herself.
"Really?!" Akashi exclaimed and immediately sat up.
"Yes!" Mary said excitedly as she pulled out a flyer from her purse.
"They are having a festival at the shrine not far from here; it's the perfect place to confess." Mary explained as she handed Akashi the flyer.
Akashi looked over the flyer and his eyes practically sparkled, "This is perfect! But how should I do it?"
Akashi mentally brainstormed and suddenly it hit him. His parents mused as they could practically see a light bulb light up on top their son.
"I got it! Thanks Father, Mother, but I need to make plans!" Akashi said as he flew out the door.
"This Tetsuya may be the person Seijuro needed throughout his whole life. Were we terrible parents Keijo?" Mary said as she saw Akashi rush to his room.
"We may be, but this Tetsuya has put us closer together without him even realizing it." Keijo said as he watched Akashi trip on the carpet, making them laugh.
"I hope he loves Seijuro all the same as Seijuro does." Mary said when she was done laughing.
"Of course he loves Seijuro; I heard he never gave up on our boy when he changed." Keijo assured.
"Your right, I'm just worried." Mary said as she leaned into Keijo as she watched Akashi curse while getting up.
"Seijuro! You shouldn't use bad words here!" she shouted.
"Yes Mother, sorry Mother!" Akashi said.
Akashi stood back up and opened the door to his bedroom. He pulled out his cellphone and sent a message to his past teammates plus Momoi, minus Tetsuya.
From Akashi:
Come to the shrine next to my place in 1 hour and 30 minutes; bring anyone you want to bring.
He sighed and sent a text to Momoi only.
From Akashi:
Make a list of where the best spots are at the festival and bring it with you.
Then he texted Tetsuya next.
From Akashi:
Come to the shrine next to my place in 2 hours and come alone.
He laid on his bed closing his eyes while waiting for a response. After a few minutes he heard multiple rings indicating he got the responses. He picked up his cell phone and looked at the messages.
From Atsushi:
Got it Aka-chin, I'm bringing Muro-chin with me.
From Ryota:
OK Akashicchi! I'm Kasamatsu-sempai with me~desu!
From Shintarou:
Fine Akashi, I am bring Takao despite me not wanting to bring him.
From Shintarou:
What Shin-chan means is that he is grateful for you letting me go with you!
From Daiki:
Sure Akashi, by the way I'm bringing Wakamatsu to beat him at games.
From Satsuki:
Got it Akashi-kun, I am bringing Sakurai with me by the way.
Akashi felt the corner of his mouth lift as he looked at the messages; it seems that everybody found someone to love. Now all that he needed was Kuroko to reply.
He heard a ring and once again looked at his phone to see Kuroko's reply.
From Tetsuya:
Very well Akashi-kun, should I wear a yukata?
Ah, of course Tetsuya would suggest such things. Akashi mused and texted back.
From Akashi:
Of course, it is a festival after all.
He quickly texted the others short after.
From Akashi:
You and your partner must wear a yukata or else it will not be a proper gathering got it?
Not a minute later he got a response from all of them.
From Daiki:
Fine! I doubt Wakamatsu will though; I can count that as a win if he doesn't.
From Shintaro:
If you say so Akashi, Takao and I will wear one.
From Atsushi:
Ok~ Muro-chin and I have a yukata to wear and mine have pockets for sweets too.
From Satsuki:
Yes! Of course! I was planning on wearing one anyways with a matching one for Sakurai because we would be adorable!
From Ryota:
Yay! I have an excuse for Kasamatsu-sempai to wear a yukata now! Thank you Akashicchi!
From Tetsuya:
Got it Akashi-kun, meet you in 2 hours then.
Akashi had a full blown smile on his lips as he finished reading his messages. He had a very good feeling about this, very good.
