CHAP 2
Kuroko slowly put his hand on his son's cheek to gently woke him up
"rise and shine pumpkin" kuroko fondly said.
Hearing his pet name from his mother bought smile to Hikaru, as he slowly flatters his eyes open.
"good morning mommy" Hikaru said with a toothy grin on his face.
"good morning to you too. Why don't you wash your face while I go prepare our breakfast" kuroko reply and kissed his son's forehead, and Hikaru returned the kiss by kissing him on the cheeks. "yes mommy" and they hopped out of the bed.
Hiakru is a spitting image of Akashi, the only appearance that Hikaru got from his mother was his teal colored eyes.
This was their everyday routine in the Kuroko's apartment. Kuroko will be up before Hikaru and prepare breakfast for them. He moved back to Tokyo immediately after his break up with Akashi, fearing that the man might know about his secret. He was glad that his friends were there for him at that time, or else his son might not be here with him today.
Flash back
When kuroko has calm himself from crying. Midorima broke the silence in the room, "we must get you back to Tokyo kuroko, he might come here when we return to Tokyo. You know that he knows when will be our time of leave kyoto".
"No! that must not happen! I don't want him to know about this pregnancy! I don't want him to have any relationship with my child!" kuroko shouted and tears begun to pour down again in his pale cheeks.
"kurokochi calm down! This will be bad for the baby. We are here to help you out in this" Kise said reaching out for kuroko.
"how am I supposed to raise this child by myself? I don't have any close families left to lean on in this kind of situation, plus I don't have a stable job if I go back to Tokyo, where would I stay? How can I afford the necessities that I needed in this pregnancy?!" kuroko said with a defeated look on his face.
Everyone was in pain just by looking at their now emotionally fragile friend. They know that their friend does not deserve this, kuroko has suffered enough. Losing his parents at the early age, the death of his grandfather that took care of him, and now this. They cannot let him fall into despair like this.
"Tetsu, we are all here for you. We can help you also financially, you will not face this alone remember that you still have us beside you, to support you. And besides, we are the proud uncles here right guys" Aomine said giving kuroko a reassuring smile, and everybody nodded in agreement.
"Yeah! We will be here for you. You can leave with me for the mean time, I still have one sparer room at my apartment, you can stay there while you are still not stable enough. And that will also give our mind at ease for worrying" Kagami offered.
"and kagami's apartment is near to the hospital where shin-chan and I are working" takao beamed to cheer up the kuroko.
"yeah and we all be there for you, except for this two." Aomine said, pointing at Murasakibara and Himuro.
"oh, no worries. After we cleared up some paper's that we needed at akita, we will be also living in Tokyo and start our small business cake shop there." Himuro smiled.
"Sweet!" takao and kise said in unison.
Kuroko was happy to have his set of friends. If they are not here at this moment, he can't imagine what will be the end of him by the day. "thank you, guys, I really do appreciate that. For now, I'll be in all in your care" he bowed. And everyone smiled at him and started packing up his stuffs to get ready for leaving Kyoto for good. He was still hurt, but for the sake of his baby. He will endure this all.
End of flash back
He was brought back to reality when Hikaru launches into one of his legs, he looks down fondly and saw his son's toothy grin.
"you're very lively today, my I ask why? He asks his son, bending down to lift Hikaru up.
"nothing, just exited that you are bringing me again to school!" Hikaru beamed.
Kuroko was a kinder garden teacher of one of the known school in their neighborhood they live in "aren't you going to be bored while waiting for me to finish work baby? I can ask uncle ryouta to babysit you for today" kuroko said.
"don't wanna! I want to go with mommy! Also, I like going with you at the school because I can learn so many things there!" Hikaru said excitedly.
Hikaru loves learning, he is a bright child for his age most of all when his curiosity strikes, but kuroko still doesn't risk on enrolling his son to school in such an early age. But Hikaru always want to tag along with him while working rather than spending the time in one of his uncles. But Hikaru loves his uncles, because they spoil him rotten, but he loves and adores kuroko so much more and always picked on tagging along with his mother. As much as possible, Hikaru wants to be with his mother 24/7.
"can I go with mommy's class? I Want to learn from you too like the other children's in your class." Hikaru asked politely.
"we can do that if the principal agrees to it, alright baby?"
"alright mommy!"
"now why don't we eat our breakfast and after that we can leave and go to school." Kuroko smiles, and gently put Hikaru in his sits to eat, who happily launch on the food in front of him.
An Early morning at the Akashi manor at Kyoto.
"Yes, that would be fine. My daughter and I will only be staying at Tokyo for a short time." Akashi Seijurou said while holding his phone. He nodded on some time before ending the call, then a knock from the door was heard.
"Akashi- sama, your baggage's are all ready and are set on the car." the servant said.
"yes, thank you. And mirai? Is she ready?"
"yes, Akashi sama, the young lady is already downstairs waiting for you."
"I see thank you. I'll be down in a minute."
After the servant left, he gently sighted while looking at his phone. He tried contacting one of his friends again so they can meet up after so many years to, but to no avail they still reject or the number does not exist. He tried using a different number, but once they heard his voice they will dropped the call instantly.
He had not heard of them after that stupid decision of his. After that eventful day, he tried visiting kuroko's place when he knows that their friends had already left to talk to kuroko privately. But he was shocked that kuroko also moved out of the house on that day, and he never got to see him again.
He tried contacting Midorima again, but he was directed to the voicemail instead 'fucking voice mails, I'm really tired of hearing this' he though. The last conversation and update that he got form the guy was three years ago, when he tried to contact Shintarou and tried to send his invitation to his wedding.
Three years ago.
He repeatedly dialed midorima's number until the guys finally answered it with irritated voice.
"what do you want?" said Midorima
"is that how you say hello Shintarou?" Akashi replied.
"if you don't have anything important things to say to me, don't ever contact me again. Your interrupting my work you know. And I already told you last two years ago that 'When you kuroko's house, forget that we are even friends Akashi Seijurou.' "he said with a hateful tone.
"I remember that" he said with a poker face, but still.
"so why are you calling me now?"
"I just want to invite you all at my wedding here at Kyoto. I also want to invite the others but I can't con-"Akashi was cut off when he heard a laugh on the other line.
"you're going to invite us in your wedding? Are you really screwing with kuroko? You know, you are just wasting your time Akashi."
"even though we ended all our friendship like that, I still want to invite you all, as we still have some past friendship"
"count us out" Midorima said coldly.
The line fell silent after that.
"I understand" Akashi said.
"if you understand now, I'll end this call. It's useless anyway. And don't call me back again" Midorima said
"wait." Akashi tone was demanding but still Midorima felt that the guy on the other line was missing something that just can't be expressed by the other.
"how, how was kuroko's doing?" he asks silently. And again, there was the awkward silence again that settles between the two men.
Midorima dint reply immediately, he took a deep breath and said "his doing fine, no need for your concern or anything. And just so we can end this conversation, everybody's doing fine."
"I see. That's great" Akashi said again silently.
"now everything's are cleared out, I'll be dropping this call now. And congratulation to you too Akashi. Wish you have achieved the things that you wanted" Midorima replied silently and dropped the call.
End of flash back
And that was the last conversation he had with Midorima, after that. The said man changed his number. He sighs again before picking up his coat and went out of the room.
"Daddy!" a cute voice calls him out.
"good morning mirai" Akashi said, smiling down to his daughter.
Mirai was only two years old, she has shoulder length red hair like her father, but has purple eyes like her mother.
"are you excited on going to Tokyo with me?" Akashi asked teasingly.
"yesh!" mirai said excitedly. Akashi only chuckle at his daughter's antiques, she is her only treasure after all. After discovering his ex-wife is cheating on him with one of his office employee, he arranges for a divorce immediately to his ex-wife 'she has a gut to cheat with an akashi' he remembered. Mirai is only seven months old when they divorce. The woman had cried for his forgiveness, 'but who was she lying at, she only after my name and wealth after all', still every month the said woman will try to persuade him. And he never regretted that decision, not unlike his decision last five years ago.
"come now mirai." Akashi lifted mirai." Our trip will be a long drive so, bear with me alright?"
"yeah! Mirai is excited to arrive at Tokyo! Let's explore Tokyo daddy, okay?" she beamed, and akashi only smiled at his daughter.
"we can do that when I'm done with work alright?" akashi said. Setting his daughter to her booster sit.
"but- when was that, and how about mirai when daddy's at work?" mirai asked with a sad face.
"I asked my secretary to enroll you to one of the trusted daycare there at Tokyo, I also appoint my secretary to be your personal nanny for a while."
"but mirai does not know the people there."
"don't worry mirai. You will soon get along with them. You don't need to be close to them, we will only be staying at Tokyo in months"
Mirai dint reply immediately but only whispered "the only important to daddy is work, not mirai."
And that stings in akashi's heart, hearing that from his own daughter "this is all for your future mirai, I told you that before, right? You must understand that daddy needs to work."
But mirai dint reply to that, only facing at the other side of the window admiring the sceneries that she is seeing outside. Akashi only sighted and patted his daughters head.
"please understand mirai, this is all for you" returning his full attention on the road. But still mirai decided to remain silent, again for the silent treatment from his daughter.
