Akashi thinks his fiancée is a handful. She only eats a little (not even half of what he eats) and asks for vanilla shake after every meal. She only ever wants to spend time inside with drawing books or story books. When she says she wants to play, it just means more drawing/ story books.
So he ends up telling her to eat more. That she should drink less of that unhealthy vanilla shake. Spend more time outside under the sun (she's so pale), even if it's just reading.
The most physical activity he's managed to convince her to do is walk around the house or garden or school (snail's pace and stopping every few minutes...).
Sometimes she listens. Most of the time, she just pouts and sulk until he gives up. Kuroko's really a handful.
At least she seems happy when he 'plays' with her.

A wild cockroach has appeared. The cockroach seems intend to disturb his and Kuroko's (play) dates. The cockroach uses 'basketball' to lure Kuroko away from him. And it seems to work. Kuroko just happily tags along with the cockroach. She won't even listen to his disapproval. This doesn't sit well with him.
He can't do anything when Kuroko just glares at him though. Might as well learn and master basketball. He'll surpass that cockroach and then Kuroko will choose to play basketball with him. And forgets that cockroach ever existed.
Maybe he can add playing basketball to their (play) dates and use it to increase Kuroko's physical activity.

The cockroach has gone away. Physically, at least. It still tries to disturb his time with Kuroko through text messages. What a tenacious creature.
`v'
He joined the basketball club. He insisted a 3-on-3 match with the seniors and showed Kuroko's special skill and how she'll be a great asset to the team. The coach and seniors agreed to let her join the boys basketball club with several conditions. Easy.
`v'
There are one ganguro and one pink cockroaches around Kuroko now. He doesn't like it (and he blames the ganguro one for teaching Kuroko indecent, inappropriate things), but she looks like she's having fun so he lets them be.
At least Midorima and Murasakibara know their place and don't bother Kuroko much. That's the distance people should keep from someone engaged. Akashi approves of them.
He still needs to tell Murasakibara to stop offering vanilla flavored snacks to Kuroko.
`v'
He supposes Kuroko's right. The more, the merrier. She'll play with Aomine and Momoi at one side of the room and he'll have shogi matches with Midorima (and babysit Murasakibara) at the other side. It's all good and fun until Aomine or Momoi (mostly Aomine) makes an inappropriate remark at Kuroko.

Kuroko's back to normal now. She was suddenly acting weird around the end of last year. Her mind often wandered off and she became twitchy around him. Might be one of the cockroaches' doing. She won't say though, being the good girl that she is. He'll just continue keeping an eye on those cockroaches.
Although, normal isn't so normal as before. Kuroko is... clingy now. Not in a bad way. He'll stand beside her and she'll step closer until their shoulders touch. He'll sit beside her and she'll scoot closer and tangle their legs together. They'll walk around and she'll reach and hold his hand/arm. Sometimes they're just sitting around somewhere and she'll be stuck on his head. It feels nice, really. Though definitely not good for his heart.
`v'
Someone with great skill and potential has joined the club. He becomes one of those cockroaches soon enough. This one might be the worst of them all yet. Very, very tenacious, hard to kill. Too narcissistic and flashy for his liking. And that sha-la-la attitude really ticks him off.
He knows Kuroko doesn't care for noisy, idiotic, narcissistic and flashy either. He's not sure why she ignores his disapproval and lets that yellow cockroach stick to her. But then, Kuroko will come around and be extra affectionate with him right in front of that cockroach to show whom she belongs to. Serves that cockroach right.
`v'
It seems like, the more cockroaches Kuroko spends her time with, the cheekier she gets. He doesn't mind though. It makes her even cuter. It makes things even more interesting and exciting when she gets cheeky with him.

Cockroaches no. 1 is back and he crushes and humiliates their basketball team. Kuroko looks disappointed and hasn't talked to him ever since. That infuriates him. How dare she ignore him for that insignificant little—
But he misses her so he apologizes. She tells him to apologize to the co— Ogiwara so he does. She stops ignoring him, which is a relief. The pat to his head after is a comforting touch.
`v'
She's become more and more stubborn over the years. And daring. She keeps saying she wants them GoM to go to different school so they can go against each other. Ambitious, befitting of an Akashi-to-be.

Akashi likes Tetsuyu. But sometimes he thinks she's a little devil. Not many people know that side of her. Of course, not many people even notice her even when she's right in front of them.
That one time he visited Tokyo with his Rakuzan team isn't much of a pleasant memory. Tetsuyu had caught Mayuzumi-senpai kissing him and she promptly ignored him until he had to go back to Kyoto again. After a few more days of being completely ignored, he had gone to Tokyo to apologize and convince her again that it was just a misunderstanding. That he'd been feeling too comfortable around his teammates and let his guard down. That he didn't know Mayuzumi-senpai'd been carrying a torch for him and that she was going to get that jealous when he introduced his fiancée to her. That there's really nothing between him and Mayuzumi-senpai. Tetsuyu just stared at him, cold and merciless, and told him to lick her shoes if he's really sorry. So he did. In front of all her teammates.
That devil. He's not sure he wants to be subjected to his fiancée's jealousy ever again. He has to be careful.
On the brighter note, Tetsuyu had insisted it's about time they use their first names. They're engaged after all, she had told him.
Tetsuyu can be rather devilish at times, but he loves her anyway. And he loves how she calls him 'Sei-kun' now.
22/08/15: changed little devil to devil. Hopefully it's more accurate now haha thanks to Rinfantasy for mentioning it cheers
