Disclaimer: I do not own all KnB hot basketball player , only my OC, Kirishima Nao.
Warning: … Like I said previously, this is just akakuro fluff but it still contain soft yaoi. Besides, my grammar is terrible and Kuroko might be quite OCC…You've been warned~

"Momma! Momma! See, there is a kitty princess over there!"

"Yes, Mika. A pretty princess isn't it? Now, it is not polite to point at people , Mika."

"Momma, can I ask the kitty princess to take a picture?"

"Of course, honey. But you must ask for permission first… Ara, where did that girl go?"

"Eh ! Kitty princess disappear! Kitty princess…"

Thus, a disappointed little girl name Mika can only stare at the very same spot, a meter away from her, where a very beautiful teal-hair kitty princess… (or a should-be-prince), vanish out of her sight.

Happy Birthday Akashi-kun !

"It's already . now…"
I've already walk through most of the attractions for an hour and half. But nothing really inspire me on the clue to Akashi's riddle. When I decided to maybe walk to the areas that I haven't set foot in, a voice crept behind me.
"Kuroko-sama, there is a drink stall here. I suggest that you could probably take a rest and thought it over while you have a drink. That might help."
Akashi's house steward, Kirishima Nao ask me with a smile as he slightly bow his head.
I thought about it a little before I nod in agreement. "Alright, Kirishima-san."

Thus, I drank the 6th cup of milkshake of the day…

While I'm enjoying the soothing cream of vanilla flowing down my throat, my eyes are focusing on the 'Alice Yume Amusement Park Visitor Guideline' booklet on the table. One of the booklet page that can be open into a larger page shows a map on the amusement park with different sections mark out.
Basically, this amusement park consist of 6 main sections with different theme. There are 'Red Queen Garden', 'Corsair Traps' , 'Butterfly Meadow', 'Mad-hatter Tea Party', 'Bunny Hole' and 'The eye of Alice'.

So far, I've went through 4 sections.

…And end up shopping for souvenirs.

My start of destination is the 'Mad-hatter Tea party'. Just as the name suggest, café's and food stalls flooded the area. Looking at rows and rows of food and drinks, I feel full even though I didn't eat a single thing after having my vanilla milkshake... It would be a paradise to Murasakibara-kun though, I thought. At the center of this section, a 3 storage candy store stand proud in the middle, flooded with visitors with sweet tooth. After minutes of hesitations, I join the crowd and enter the pink building to buy a souvenir for Murasakibara-kun. I spotted his favorite Maibo, and got him a limited edition candy floss flavor… I get Momoi some chocolates too, since I'm unsure of what to get for a girl.

Then, I went to 'Butterfly Meadow'. 'Butterfly Meadow' is similar to a shopping street. You can find branded shops for everything you want from head to toe other than souvenir shops. Adults often spend their time here while they let their children have fun themselves. I thought that I should get the others souvenirs as well so I walk in the first shop I see and took the first souvenir I saw with a basketball on it. Apparently, I only realize now, that I bought a pair of couple magnet key chains. Two puppy, a golden one and a black one climb on a big basket ball that can be separated and connect back. They look like Kise-kun and Aomine-kun… Thus I decide that this two key-chain will be given to them.

'Corsair Traps' covers the largest area in this amusement park. All the main attractions and extreme rides are here, such as the Hurricane, the revenge of the pirates, Tom Hawk, Rock 'n roll spin It, Cowboy boots, Bungee jump, Haunted House, Laser tags and so on. But since I've visited this area with Akashi-kun earlier, I did not linger long.

Next, I went to 'Bunny Holes'….

And walk out the next second.

It's an indoor arcade, filled with young people, especially high-schoolers that came in groups for the weekend. I've never been good in noisy, dark atmosphere since I often found myself lost in the flow of the crowd. Furthermore I think Akashi-san won't put the present there…

I think.

Then that means this only left the Red Queen's Garden and The eye of Alice untouched…

Heaving a sigh, I start my journey again…

Unknown to the cross-dress blunnette, A strange duo was following behind his tracks, all in perfect disguise of… a bunny and a Corsair cat mascot. The bunny was dragging the corsair when the corsair wanted to take a nap in the café our beloved Kuroko recently left. The corsair yawn and curse a few incoherent words while the bunny beside him desperately trying to keep in track on Kuroko while pulling the lazy bump beside him and do not get notice by the cute phantom player. You can clearly see the mix of emotion on the bunny face inside the mascot.
A redden blush adorn below his cheeks, flushing at the sight of the angel Kuroko dress as a girl. His sweat tickling down his temple and the curve of his jaw line with the tighten brows due to the irritation of wearing the costume while having kids pooling around you under a sunny weather. His lips bend into a frown, helplessly pull along the tanned ace in corsair cat mascot to keep on their stalking…I mean assist-Kuroko-in-the-dark-incase-someone-like-akashi-bully-him-plan.

"Aomine-chi come on! Kuroko-chi is leaving-ssu!" Kise, the fluffy white bunny urge the black corsair cat while his eyes never leave the teal hair phantom.

"We've been fucking following Tetsu for hours so can't we rest for good?! Tetsu don't need us stalking him."

Aomine, pissed that he was basically forced into this meaningless stalking activities is shooting glares at the blonde. This is all thanks to that Sastuki. If she didn't suggest on following Tetsu with Kise, and if she didn't have to attend a family dinner that she just can't miss, and if she JUST DIDN"T HAPPEN TO HID AWAY HIS MAI-CHAN LIMITED EDITION PORN MAG and blackmail him in coming to this stupid place while wearing this fucking dumb costume. Damn. Fuck. Yes, and the most important is to struggle his way on saving his ears from this blonde beside him that could spend the day talking all the way about 'Kuroko-chi'. Sometimes he wonders where did the blonde save up his energy to stay in such hyper spirit. Akashi should really know better to maximize this overly bubbly blonde's training menu.

"No! Kuroko-chi is too innocent! He might get molested by some perverts!" Kise cried as soft as he can so they won't be spotted, and his eyes basically fuel up with a different spark that seems to scream 'Kuroko-chi is too adorable'.

"You mean a pervert like you?"

"That's so mean Aomine-chi!"

While the duo bicker, a few kids spot them and start to surrounded them for photos and hugs and you can hear the inner screams of the bunny and swears from the Corsair cat.

"NO~! KUROKO-CHI, WAIT FOR ME~!" \(QA Q\)
"Great. Fuck my day."


"I guess this is it?"

I stop in front of a massive gate, paint in white with red roses climbing their ways on the polished surface and illuminate by various LED lights. To the left and right of this gate, a hedge had surrounded the Red Queen's Garden , which was planted high enough to block the views of the visitors about what exist in the compound beyond this gate. Two men stand at each side, their outfit resembles poker cards. Just like the Red Queen's guard. Strange enough, there isn't a visitor walking nearby. Is this attraction closed?

The one with a red heart uniform smile at seeing me. "Welcome to the Red Queen's garden, ojou-chan." I shudder a little at the calling of ojou-chan, which is often used to call girls but I still reply with polite nod. The man in red heart uniform smile even brighter, "Someone had booked down the garden, ojou-chan." So that's why visitors did not flooded this area. I nod, showing that I understand, and was about to turn to leave…
I guess the gift is not there?

"Wait, ojou-chan!" I turn to look at the man, my face stoic like usual but inside I am a little surprise by the call. Both of them bow in a 'welcome' manner as one of them speak. "I never say you can't go in. Your boyfriend had booked down the place just for you , please do go in." I felt my face warm up at the mention of 'boyfriend' and feel frustrated all of a sudden. "I don't have a boyfriend. I think you are mistaken." Although I could guess whose deed this is. "No, I'm really sure you are the guest invited! Teal hair girl with cat ears and tails is pretty hard to miss out after all! No to mention such an adorable ojou-chan"

… Someday I would payback to Akashi, I thought as my heart sank at the words use by the worker.

After that I walk in the Red Queen's garden, with Kirishima-san who refuse to walk beside me as it is impolite to walk side by side with his master aqquintence . Apparently, Red Queen's garden is a maze with different exits. By what the worker that dress as the Red Queen's guard said, the maze often have small games to complete, but today it's all removed.

"That?" I walk to the first junction, and found a small glass table with a bottle on top. I took the bottle and saw a note written in black cursive writing.

'DRINK IT. I thought that you might be thirsty. As much as how I disapprove on you having only one choice of favorite drink, I hope that this would ease your thirst along the way.

By, Akashi Seijuuro.'

It's a bottle of vanilla shake.
The tip of my lips curve a little at the sight of my one and only favorite beverage, and somewhere beneath I think I actually feel warmer, despite the bottle of vanilla milkshake that still feel icy cold and that the summer sun is hanging low at the border of the sky, dying the sky red, like a certain someone's presence… slowly admiring the sky, my eyes fell on the only thing I can see from here clearly. It's a Ferris wheel, bearing the name 'the eye of Alice.'

… wait.

'Seek for the round table where the fairies seated, at 2003 without two rings…'

The corner of my lips curve more as a feeling of triumph fills my heart. I finally understand the riddle. I look at my phone screen…

7:30p.m.

I have to hurry.
Gripping the bottle, I quicken my pace, while the corner of my mouth couldn't help keeping a smile.

Just one problem.
I am standing among the tall green hedge, in front of a T-junction with two different ways which may lead me to the right destination… or the wrong place. Now I had to choose… Right or Left?


At last, after some hard time running into several dead-ends, I finally make my way out of the maze and arrive at my destination, which is the answer to the riddle.

A Round table where the fairies seated.
A place that resembles a round shape and the word 'fairies'. This hinted the Ferris wheel, which is round, while the word Ferris sound exactly like fairies. On the other hand, 2003 without two rings. If you look at the numbers, didn't '0' look like a ring? Thus, 2003 without two rings means… the present is situated in the 23rd cable of the Ferris wheel.
Just like that. And here I was, searching around expecting the answer would be a hard one when it's from Akashi. It turns out he put his present in a place which could be seen from any corner of this amusement park.
I walk nearer to the main attraction of the amusement park, which is totally pitch dark, aside from the faint golden street lights along the pathway.

'8:15 p.m.'

… I guess I was late?" Although I thought that it is a little too early to call it a day, isn't it? However, to my dismay there isn't anyone at the ticket counter or the operating stand. So that really means it's all closed. I took out my phone as I heave a sigh, probably I did feel disappointed. After all the searching, I feel deflated at all my effort to finish this riddle had all came to a futile.

And maybe, I wanted to see what present Akashi had prepared for me.

Pressing the buttons, I search for Akashi-kun's number to call and tell him about this. And that is the moment my phone plan to play a trick on me with announcing the battery's out and blackout completely.
my lips frown a little, my brows knitted together (though normal people may not see it) while I sigh for god knows how many time while turn around to ask for asistance from the only human near me.

"Kirishima-san, can you please contact Akashi-kun?"

What reply me is darkness, empty pathway, and not even a shadow is seen.

What is it now?
Mysterious disappearing? What is Akashi-kun thinking?
If this is a prank that Akashi-kun set, I certainly would not back down the next time I see him. Even if it's Akashi. I thought in my mind, a little frustrated and angry at the moment.
Just when I thought I have to walk all the way back to the gate myself, a bright light engulf me from behind…

The Ferris wheel light up in white, from the center of the circle to the outermost cable cabins. Meanwhile, at the center of the circle the lights are mixed in with teal-colored lights that made a pattern of… our Teiko's basketball team uniform. Red LED's highlight the most center of the uniform, a number 15 as clear as day. The pathway that leads to the Ferris wheel follow suit in lighting up in rainbow colors LED's, hanging around above my head while the tress around sparkle in gold like they were glitter with star-dust. I was flabbergasted at the show before me, my eyes widen at the scene, and there is only one thing I thought at that moment. ' Akashi's planed this.'
The Ferris wheel start operating and turns slowly. Among all the cable cabins, one particular cable had caught my attention.
Cable number 23, the only cable with a black figure of a person standing in it.

I walk towards the shinning large attraction, as the cable 23 slowly land on the floor and the Ferris wheel stop turning, like it's waiting for me.
As I expected, a familiar figure stand out of the cable, his signature smile as always. What probably make the difference is the fact that in this moment… He look sincere for once.

"Welcome, Tetsuya."

Akashi-kun bow to me and outstretched his hand in a welcoming gesture.

"Akashi-kun, what is this all about?"
I ask, as I look at him, trying to get an explanation for all this… unexpected event.

Or maybe I did expect something like this.

Akashi did not say anything, and he only continue to smile in a very comforting way, while he reach to take my hands into his and guide me into the 23rd cabin. As the cabin door close, the wheel turns again, bringing me and Akashi-kun climb up the sky that had paint in the color of night.


From the Ferris wheel, I can see the amusement park and the weekend parade at the main road of Corsair Trap area, with black patches which I assume as human, crowding there. Colors and lights fill the wonderland, making it feel unrealistic, like a world that had separated from the busy city.

With the wonderland as the center, the lights seem to spread out until the border of this children paradise, and went over to the busy city at night. Even though it wasn't as much as the wonderland, which is closer to my vision, the city had its own moment for the night. Illuminate in different blinking sources, the view of the city is getting clearer, brighter and glowing, when the Ferris wheel start to get closer to the peak.

And…

It's been 15 minutes since we sit in here.

But Akashi-kun had not even spoke a single word.

Even though the scenery outside is very pleasing to the eyes, I have no heart to continue my admiration for them, for every bit of my attention is very much bothered by my red-hair captain, who act like there isn't anything to say anymore. Akashi-kun only look outside the glass window , sitting cross-leg with his right palm pillowing under his chin, and look like he is very comfortable. His smile never subside.

In my case, I had resisted myself from making any eye contact with him, my whole being felt uneasy and my palm is sweating cold sweat, like that time when I had my first basketball match. I divert all my gaze to the dark night sky and look out to the city that spreads further and further, until the lights seem so small and far away. We've reach the peak, and it's been another 5 minutes.

"Hmm…"

Suddenly, I feel a long stare is directing at me. If it's the other day, at school, I would probably turn and ask if there is anything. However, my head stay still against my will. Moreover, even though I still stay a expressionless face as usual, my palm twist into a tight grip and I don't know why I feel that it is getting suffocating to remain here. I can feel that Akashi-kun is still staring at me, and I can feel that he is smiling. My insides clench tighter, and I'm even more oppose to the idea of making any eye-contact with Akashi while my eyes never leave the night scenery out there, as if there is something interesting beyond the night sky and …

"Tetsuya."

I shudder a little, startled by the sudden call.

After a few seconds of self-composing I turn to face Akashi.
"Yes, Akashi-kun?"

Akashi look at me, his gaze straight to mine.

"Did you enjoy the ride?"

His voice lace on my ears, capturing all my attention. It wasn't the usual commanding voice. It was… really different from Akashi. Deep. Comforting.
Though I do not dislike it.

"Yes, Akashi-kun. I appreciate the view and it's very beautiful. I'm thankful that you invited me ." I reply, my eyes shift away from his intense gaze.

"Is that so? I'm glad to hear that."
He look at me, like he understand everything. Nevertheless, this is Akashi. He always knew what people always think…

Then, he stand up. I look at him, my brow narrowed as if I'm questioning what's wrong….Then Akashi sit down, beside me.

"Akashi-kun is there something wrong?"

Now he is closer to me, sitting beside me, and I feel the invisible pressure around seem to increase. My grip tighten.
He move closer to me and pat my head.

"I was just wondering why you feel nervous since the moment we came in? Am I that scary?"

I feel a strange warmth pool around my cheek.

"I'm fine, Akashi-kun. It might be the reason that this is my first time I ride on a Ferris wheel, so I seem to be nervous. I ensure you I'm feeling fine…"

Akashi-kun laugh lightly and continue patting my head.

"Tonight you're not as honest as you always do, Tetsuya."

In the dim litted cabin, I can only helplessly look at the fiery red hair, the fair skin of his and the glowing red eyes that remind me of the remaining sunset rays… And the rare smile that appeared over and over again today.

Akashi's hand softly patting mine, slow and steady… and his hand move down to touch my cheeks.

I only stare.
Waiting for something which I'm not really clear of.
Then Akashi's face inch closer and closer… to me, until all I can see is the crimson pair of…

"Kuroko-chi!"

the 23rd cabin had spin a full round and landed, while a strangely familiar voice pierce deeply into my ears. As a reflex, I turn to see who called me... and I see a… white rabbit mascot running to me with open arms.

Before the bunny approach me, I use my misdirection, while Akashi merely get up and avoid the unexplainable attack. The white bunny fall into nothing into the cabin seat and look around… "Are? Where's Kuroko-chi?"

… I don't feel like replying that.
Hearing the voice twice, I immediately recognize him as Kise-kun. But why is he wearing the wonderland mascot… Why is he even here?

"Kuroko-chi~ AH! Here you are!"

... Misdirection effect lessen with me crossdress it seems. Kise-kun took off the white bunny mascot head and hug me. I fail to run in this small space. "Kise-kun… please let go…" Apparently, Kise-kun did not hear me and continue hugging me like I'm his long lost stuff toy. I was going to stab him, until a threatening voice speak and send menacing Goosebumps to anyone near.

"Ryouta, can you release Tetsuya?"

"EEEK! Akashi-chi!"

Fear for our captain, Kise-kun immediately release me and I breath out in relieve.

"Now… Ryouta, may I ask what sort of business you have here? Wearing like this? Are you that desperate… Ah, is it that you wanted extra training menu?"
Overwhelmed by Akashi intense pressure, Kise-kun let out a few nervous chuckle, "Ahaha…Akashi-chi…Of course not! EH, You see…"
"Yes? I'm on all ears."
Unable to explain his presence here, Kise-kun keep on glancing my way for help.
I was a little irritate on his reckless hug, so I act as if I did not see the pair of golden puppy eyes… I'll help after he at least provide an explaination.

"Kuroko-chi…"

"Hi, Akashi. Tetsu"

Out of nowhere, this time, Aomine-kun appear. He was wearing his usual sport shirt, but… his trouses today is… fluffy than usual. There's even a… cat tail behind. I look at Akashi, then look at him, my light on the basketball court, and send him questioning glares.

"... I was blackmail by that Sastuki to wear this, Tetsu. You're wearing one too so don't say a thing."

Aomine say, as I only realise that I'm still in the cat outfit.

"Oh... and Akashi, I understand and won't bother any fuck you do. Just treat Tetsu not that rough k?"

For a moment, I see Aomine send a knowing smirk to our captain, and Akashi's intimidating pressure vanish. Akashi smile back. "Not tonight, Daiki. But I'll always treat Tetsu gentle. No worries. I always do the right thing."

… I don't understand anything.
But I got a feeling that there is an unseen pact made between those two.

"So, Daiki, I'll leave Ryouta to your hands. And please push the handle at the counter there before you leave." Akashi said as Aomine start to drag a certain model out.
"Ok."

Looking the duo leave, the door of 23rd cabin close and again, I'm alone with Akashi-kun in the cabin.

Akashi-kun want to go for another round?
Remembering the moment just now, about how close Akashi was and thinking about what actually was suppose to happend back there, I space out a little until a hand circle around my waist.

"Look at me, Tetsuya."

"Akashi-kun, what does this means?"

I'm stil confuse. With almost everything. I turn my body around to face Akashi, all while my hands try to push Akashi-kun away a little. The suffocating feeling is back and my insides is spinning again and again…

Is this what they call butterflies in stomach?

"Tetsuya, do you hate me?"

Akashi question had taken me aback.

"No. why would Akashi-kun think so?"

Then Akashi hug me closer suddenly. I wasn't prepare for anything like this. I'm not even sure where should I put my hands or how should I hide the embarrassment that is flowing around my senses? Not even my parents hug me like this before. And…

Akashi place his head on my shoulder, his breath blew into my ears, the warm gust of air make me shiver.

"Then, Tetsuya. If I say I like you, in a sexual way. Would you lfeel the same?"

I stay silence, processing the few words Akashi said.

Would I?
Do I?
I never thought about that before. Sure, I like everyone in the basketball team but…
DO I actually have feeling like that for Akashi-kun?
I don't know.
I don't even know why am I so uneasy.. I want to escape. Escape from this close distance with Akashi, escape from the rising heat all over me that came in contact with Akashi, escape from…
Akashi.

"Like I said, you're dishonest today… Tetsuya."

Akashi move his head so his forehead is resting on mine.

"I know you had fall for me, long ago, and I'm always right."

Without waiting for my reply, Akashi did something I never expect.

He kiss me.

Akashi's lips is fully on mine.

"Aka…Mhn!"

A warm object suddenly invade my mouth, taking advantage of me trying to speak. I choke a little on the foreign feeling, while weakly attempt to stop Akashi. The warm…hot organ seem to go deeper inside my mouth. I can't breathe much, but strangely enough, it wasn't the type of suffocating I experience before. It …actually feel…nice.

Akashi's tongue trail around, slow at first, like he was caressing and comforting me. Unconsciously I let out a small moan when his tongue is deep enough and hit a muscle that make me feel really strange.. It is embarrassing and I could sense that my face heat up more . But after that, Akashi's tongue aggressively move more in my cavern and he never stop sucking to capture my every breath. I learn to tilt my head a bit to match with him. His nose is touching mine, close enough for me to only able to smell his presence. When he bit me, I would let out more sound, and I glared at Akashi through my watery eyes, to voice out my complain between the kiss. However Akashi never seem to receive my message. Instead, one of his hand start to touch around as he like, while I couldn't silence myself from making those embarrassing sound… Not that I can think anymore, as the hand roam around leaving a burning sensation that had made me unable to keep a clear head anymore. There was something flow down my mouth, and I helplessly grip on Akashi as I slowly feel that I'm losing my sanity. Maintainig the kiss too long, tears flow down without control. I hope that this tormenting kiss would stop. I need air. But, I wish this never end too…

I don't know anymore.

Still, it ended.

A thin strand of saliva connect between our lips until Akashi pull off. I desperately breath in all the oxygen that was stole from the forceful kiss, panting all the time. All my senses had gone numb and the only thing I can think off is the kiss earlier...

A small peck is place on my forehead.

I look up to see Akashi-kun, smiling all the way as he apologize.

"Please forgive me, Tetsuya. I got carried away…"

His hand is still on my waist supporting me, while his other hand wipe away the saliva at the corner of my mouth. Next, he lick it.

I wonder if my face had got any redder.

"A..aks-shi..kun. Please don't te—tease me anymore."

I say as I bury my head down, hiding my face from him.

"Sorry, Tetesuya. You're just too cute."

"I'm not."

And then he pull me down to the seat while hold my hand into his…

"Tetsuya, now do you understand?"

You mean you are asking for a relationship, Akashi-kun. I roll my eyes thinking of the ministration of kiss he use on me just to let me realize this thing between the two of us.
I like Akashi-kun. More than what I thought… I'm sure now.

"Is that a pout I sense? Tetsuya you really are a child."

… Maybe I should think it over again. I ignore Akashi's teasing smile and plop my head on his shoulder. It's been a tiring day afterall…

And I drift into sleep.

… "Good night, Tetsuya."

And Akashi rest his head against his new-found(not really) girl… I mean boyfriend's head and close his eyes, his hand never leave the phantom's own grip.

A very happy birthday to our Teiko captain, Akashi Seijuuro .

END.

God I finally finish this OAO!
I know I'm a horrible author/friend, procrastinating this for such a long time…. I'm horrible….(drawing circles at the corner.)
I'm sorry for my lousy skills on attempting to write the kissing scene… It end up un-Kuroko-like and god its hard to describe it from the first view! QAQ
Anyway, again, sorry for this awfully late and lame update! (bow)
