Chapter 3:

Takao blinked, "That's it?"

"What do you mean that's it?" Akashi asked.

"What he means is that we all know already." Himuro quickly said before Takao said something cheeky.

"You what?" Akashi asked doe-eyed, he had not expected this.

"Of course we knew, the rest of the Generation of Miracles also had a crush on him." Kasamatsu scowled.

"Hehehe." Kise chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"Really?" Akashi said incredulously.

"Of course Akashi-kun, we all had feelings for Tetsu-kun!" Momoi said.

"But we already moved on Aka-chin." Murasakibara said while eating a pocky stick and he reached over to ruffle Himuro's hair fondly.

"Everyone except you, but if you want him, you better hurry, Kagami got his eyes on Tetsu." Aomine added while he arm wrestled Wakamatsu.

Akashi's eyes narrowed, he knew of Kagami's affection to Kuroko. But Akashi will make it certain that Kuroko will belong to him after the festival, he is Akashi Seijuro after all.

"Yes, Taiga is one who likes to get what he wants, despite his idiocy." Himuro agreed to Aomine.

"Do not worry, I have a plan." Akashi said confidently.

"Is that why you asked me to get those papers for you?" Momoi asked with a love sick puppy look in her eyes as she thought of different ways Akashi would make Kuroko his boyfriend.

"Yes, that is correct." Akashi said.

"KKYYYAAAAAAA!" Momoi couldn't help but scream happily.

"OW Satsuki, my ears!" Aomine complained.

Momoi couldn't hear him because she was too busy mumbling about different romantic attractions that Akashi and Kuroko would go on.

"Tetsuya is to come soon let's all go inside while we wait for him shall we?" Akashi proposed.

"Sure!" Takao cheered and they all went inside, poor Sakurai had to pull Momoi inside as she wouldn't snap out of her little romantic moment.

Not so long afterward they spotted Kuroko rushing in with a rather beautiful yukata. A crystal blue dragon swirled around him and had its head promptly on the left shoulder. Light purple flowers danced on the yukata, making the dragon look royal and magnificent.

They stared at Kuroko for a moment taking in the sight of Kuroko in a beautiful yukata. Kuroko started to fidget under their stares as they continued for about 7 minutes.

"Um, everyone, hello, nice yukatas you have as well." Kuroko said, trying to get the gazes off of him.

Takao snapped out of his daze, "You too Kuroko! Where'd you get that one? Did they have a frilly one? I want to make Shin-chan try it if they do!"

"They did Takao-san, and please send me the picture if you do get Midorima-kun to wear it; I need more blackmail after all." Kuroko said with an excited glint in his eyes despite keeping his pokerface.

Takao grinned as well, "I'd be sure to send it to you Kuroko-chan!"

"…chan?"

"Sure! Call me Kazu-kun while you're at it!"

"…"

"C'mon Kuroko-chan! Say Kazu-kun for me!"

"K-K-Kazu-kun."

Takao made the victory sign to Midorima having a huge grin on his face. Kuroko was beet red but miraculously kept his pokerface, the only sign that he was embarrassed was that he stuttered and his face was red.

"Shin-chan did you hear that?! Kuroko-chan called me Kazu-kun!" Takao cheered.

"I-I don't care idiot!" Midorima stuttered, blushing at Takao's happy face.

"Whhaaattttt." Takao said, fake tears threatening to come out but the tears seemed real, Akashi and Kuroko mentally applauded Takao's skills.

"I-Idiot! W-Why are you crying!?" Midorima panicked, did he do something wrong?

"Shin-chan doesn't like me!" Takao said tears running down his face now.

Akashi and Kuroko sent each other an amused glance.

"Ah, Midorima-kun's so mean to Kazu-kun." Kuroko commented emotionlessly.

"Indeed, Shintaro, I thought you loved him, I guess it was just a one-sided love, how cruel." Akashi joined in.

"That! I! I do love Takao!" Midorima yelled making everyone stop short, Midorima's eyes widened and clamped his hand on his mouth.

Takao's eyes widened in shock and happiness soon seeped in as well, "Shin-chan! You do love me!"

Midorima turned away beet red like Kuroko was before. Takao happily tackled him to the floor and promptly kissed in square in the lips. They stayed like that until they couldn't no longer and finally separated.

Takao smiled brightly at Midorima, "I love you too Shin-chan! Forever and ever, until the end of the universe!"
