Kotaro Hayama sat at the wooden round table with pint as he was the first one there. He looked at his watched, the time was four in the afternoon. Knew the others would have finished work by now. Hayama was sat dressed in his black polo shirt a trousers. He worked for a PC and technology store and was recently told that he a six week holiday because he needed to use them up before Christmas. During his break he had texted his friends to join him for a four o'clock drink. He looked at his watched again before a mope of blonde hair came towards him. He smiled at the two new comers.

"Heya Kise and Aomine. Can I get you a drink?" he asked.

"Nah." Kise shook his head. "Aomine is getting them for us." He said looking to the tanned man dressed in his police uniform and ordering their drinks.

Kise himself was dressed casually, he probably had the day off from working as a piolet.

"So, been busy?" Hayama asked him before taking a sip of his drink.

"Well we've just moved into our own little place." Kise grinned.

"Oohh."

"Yeah, we got the keys a couple of days ago. We just finished the move and Aomine went back to work." Kise explained.

"Here ya go." Aomine said as he placed Kise's drink on the table before taking his seat next to his boyfriend. Kise thanked him and then took a sip.

"Just heard you moved in."

"Yeah, it's been a bit mad with all the unpacking."

"Bet it was." Hayama grinned.

An hour had passed before Murasakibara and Himuro showed up looking casual and apologising because they closed up late. Midorima and Takao later joined with the excuse that Midorima was having those mood swings. Once they were all sat round the table and a few drinks later, Kuroko and Akashi walked in. Kuroko was holding the tiny human in his arms while Akashi had the side back on him as the walked over to the table.

"Hello." Kise said with a hyper voice.

"Hey, it's the little man." Said Aomine as he stroked the small leg when Kuroko was close enough.

"Sorry we're late, we had to sort out car arrangements." Said Kuroko as Akashi placed the bag on the floor.

"Drink?" he offered his lover.

"Oh yes please." Kuroko smiled back and watched him walk away.

Aomine and Kise made room for Kuroko to take a seat and properly sat Akihito on his lap. The child was looking round and clapping his tiny hands together. Kise cooed over the child.

"Oh yeah, you talking about getting a new car. I thought you sorted it when you were pregnant?" Aomine asked him and then took a sip of his beer.

"Well we thought we had things sorted before Akihito was but the Honda CRV went up in price and Akashi wasn't going to afford that much of price. We kept the limit to six grand but it car went up to eight. We've borrowed Takana's when Akihito made an appearance and he took our car. We've been looking round but finally have one now. It's a Citroen and is six grand. Handpicked by Akihito himself." Kuroko looked down at his wiggling and happy child.

"Cool, he picked out the car?" Takao said happily.

"Yeah, it took our fancy when we saw what he was happy about. We investigated it and it was perfect for our child. Akihito just loved being inside of it." Kuroko bounced his legs.

"What colour?" Hayama asked him.

"Like a dark bronze, it looked really good in that colour."

"Do you have it now?" Kise asked him, taking his attention away from the child for a moment.

"No, we're trading in our old for that one. We'll probably get it in a few weeks, I dunno Akashi's sorting it all out." Kuroko said just before his drink was placed in front of him.

"What's that?" Akashi as before joining Midorima and Murasakibara.

"Just talking about the new car." Kuroko smiled. He then turned to Kise. "Wanna hold him for a bit?"

"I would love to." Kise grinned as Kuroko carefully handed him the child. "Hello." Kise cooed again.

"So the main reason behind why I asked you guys to come here was, not only for a catch up, but I was given a six week holiday t use up. So I was thinking if we could all go on a road trip." He explained nervously before looking at everyone's still faces.

"A road trip?" Aomine asked. "Where? We've lived here nearly all our lives so that's not really much over a road trip."

"Umm, plus there's work?" Himuro added.

"I think it's a good idea." Kuroko said as he looked t everyone. "I'm not due to go back to work for another seven months so I have all the time in the world. But…what about you love?" Kuroko looked the red head.

"I can but there's no one to cover my shift yet." Akashi replied.

"Yet?" Kuroko questioned.

"Just recently interviewing for more managers because my employee's think I need time off."

"Great, we can test out the new car too." Kuroko smiled.

"What do you think Shintaro?" Takao questioned.

"I have a lot of appointments booked." Was all his lover had said.

"We're in." Takao smiling knowing Midorima gave him the glares.

"What do you think?" Aomine asked Kise.

"Well, I'm sure they would let me. They keep nagging me to take a break but because of the payment for the house."

"Ok, count us in." Aomine agreed.

"Cool." Hayama smiled until all eyes turned to Murasakibara and Himuro who seemed to be having a deep discussion about it but Himuro had made the final decision.

"I'm sure the cake shop will be fine for six weeks." Himuro said before nodding.

"Ok, what about Kagami and a couple of the others?" Kuroko asked.

"I think they're too busy with work and stuff, plus they're kinda all around the world." Said Takao.

"Kiyoshi Teppei?" Kuroko asked. "He's not far from us and loves a good travel. He's just come back from China after writing a journal on their culture and food."

"He's not a bad person and he keeps Kagami in check. Akashi, how do you feel about him?" Kise asked him.

"Huh? Oh, he's a good person. Upbeat and caring." Akashi replied. "I spoke to him after the Winter Cup, he's a good guy. I don't really mind him."

"Hold on, when to you get the car?" Hayama asked Akashi.

"Umm, probably a couple of weeks. I don't know until I take the Peugeot in in three days." Akashi replied.

"Ok, let me know when you have the new car and we can all plan the same to travel." Hayama said and Akashi nodded.

Suddenly Akihito got a bit tempered as he stomped his small feet n Kise's legs. "Kuroko." Kuroko looked to his now stroppy child and giggled. "Come on, wanna sit with daddy?" he cooed and he gently took the child from Kise and stood up to go to Akashi.

"Come here." Akashi smiled as he took the child from his fiancée's hands and carefully held him in his hand brought him close to his face. Akihito eventually calmed down and began to giggle. "What's the matter, eh? What's the matter?" he cooed as he rubbed his nose on his son's small one and smiled.

"Completely different from school, huh?" Kise said as Kuroko sat back down.

"He's been very devoting to his son. Treating him completely different from how his father raised him.

"You wouldn't want that treatment. I remember him arguing his father when you were in labour." Aomine said.

"I heard about that. Well, we spoke before and Sei said he wouldn't raise our child the same way he was. We agreed to treat him fairly."

"Makes you wonder how his father raised him?" Kise asked.

"Not like that, obviously." Aomine snorted.

"Nah, he left him to his mother and Takana. His dad had no involvement." Kuroko explained. "It's sad really." He said as he watched his fiancée cuddling their child.
