"Well, I am honoured such a beautiful of a person is searching for me." Kise winked playfully. He did not expect to see the short little bluenette again, at least may be not so soon. Kise took up the tealhead's appearance, just simple but somehow very business-like. Kise wondered how old is the person in front of him, it didn't really occurred to him much yesterday and the fact that they're in a relatively well-known pub, bar, host house, whichever, the age permitted is afterall 18 above, well underage people can also walked in if they have they stature, somehow like himself. "Nee, Kurokocchi. How old are you?"

Kuroko tilted his head to the side in a lazy motion. "Sixteen." Kuroko answered, the blonde gasped. "And Kise-kun is?"

Kise flashed a guilty-like grin and does a small waving motion. "We're the same age, Kurokocchi~"

Kuroko blinked a few time as he straightened his head in surprise. "And you work here? Aren't you too, well, young?"

Kise frowned slightly. "I don't work here. I am simply a guest, as a matter of yesterday, I just took place of the original bartender for awhile as he had to take an emergency leave, we were friends you see." Kise explained. "You say that but you're the same age as me, how did you get past the guards?"

"I just walked in, they didn't saw me. It is easy to bypass me. My lack of presence does that, you're one of two that could actually see me without me having to reveal myself first." Kuroko snorted slightly, it was always an amusement to him to see people getting shocked by his presence that seems to appear out of nowhere.

"hHe…~" Kise drew out a long sigh, Kuroko kept his expression neutral as he look at the interesting rack of alcohols as the blonde stared at his face without any sort of cover. Kise had even propped his chin on his right hand as he leaned to the side at the bar. "You're very interesting, Kurokocchi~!" Kise gulped down his drink. "I really like you." He said casually with an honest grinned, unabashed by his confession.

"Thank you it is indeed interesting, lack of presence. As for feelings, I can't say a thing, not yet at least." Kuroko stared off, leaving an expression of thoughtful.

"Mou, can't you say something like we have mutual feelings or I like you too?" Kise pouted, making a really sad face though at the same time slightly amused.

"No." Kuroko mused. "That'd be half-lying. We only met yesterday evening and I barely know you."

"Kurokocchi would like to know more about me?" He was ecstatic.

"I only know about your name and age afterall." Kuroko nodded as an answer.

"Really?" Kise put on a thoughtful expression. "Well, to start, I'm a half-blood. Half-Japanese and half-Finland, my mom is Japanase and my father is from Finland. Also I'm a returnee, it's been 10 years since I last came to Japan with my parents."

"Why so?"

Kise's expression saddened. "Because my mom died a year later and my father felt no need to come here. When my mom died we kinda get a hard for a few years until when my father got a job with a company a year back. Then a few months ago he too died, he died from a bullet piercing through his heart. If you want to ask why, well there was a bank robbery and my dad was at the bank at the moment, the thug aimed a gun at a kid and accidentally fired." He was sad but there was a hint of pride. "My father jumped in between the little girl and the bullet which hit him square in the heart."

"I'm sorry." Kuroko was sincerely concerned, if only his gaze is not so blank.

Kise just laughed it off. "Don't. I'm content, my father died a brave and prideful death. And the leader of the company at which my father works at when he was alive took me in and adopted me though I refused to change my surname since theirs and my given name just clash y'know. They're really nice people, but they stayed in Finland still and sent me here to live with their son, and I think they had another son that is also adopted."

"So you're staying with them?"

Kise shook his head. "I arrived just a few days before yesterday, I've been staying at a friend's place. The one that I said about just now, he worked here although he is also the same age as us. But you really wouldn't believe that if you saw him without knowing his real age."

"So you haven't met with your half-brother yet?"

He nodded. "I will though tomorrow morning. Apparently my new family is rich as hell as I can see their company is renowned across Japan it seems like." Slight grinning. "Though I already acquire myself a profitting job, the first day I arrived in Japan there was already a seeker offering me a modeling job. It seemed interesting and it looks like I'm talented for it since the company immeditely offered a full-time job."

"You're a model?" Slightly surprised, but otherwise not really caring of that small fact. "With that kind of face, body and attitude I guess that shouldn't be much of a surprise." The bluenette shrugged.

"I never exposed my body in public, Kurokocchi~"

"I meant by built not by skin, though both are flawless."

Kise hummed. "I see, would Kurokocchi like another look at it again tonight, then~?"

Kuroko didn't really thought much of the offer because in a heartbeat when the words were spoken Kuroko had agreed. Again. That is two nights in a row, with a person he recently just met but is strongly attracted to, physically and maybe, just a small maybe, spiritually too.

It was around perhaps four o'clock in the morning when he got himself cleaned, dressed and excused himself. The handsome blonde was sound asleep on the bed of the unfamiliar room to both of them, Kuroko in his mind bid a short term farewell and started to the streets.

Kuroko was sleepy as he had only gotten to sleep for about an hour, before waking up and decided to hike back to the house. It was so early in the morning yet the street is already bustling with a few early-riser and a few cars drove by the road.

Kuroko called his driver, waking up the said person from his slumber. The bluenette waited for about ten to twenty minutes for the driver to pick him up, the driver asked Kuroko where had he been to since yesterday evening. He said that the master that is Akashi Seijuurou was looking for him, that news made Kuroko winced a little. Kuroko told him not to tell his fiancé about this, of where he had picked him up, what time, or anything about it.

Kuroko crept in, carefully as to not make any sound when he entered their room but it was to proven not of use as he saw no flashes of the redhead on the bed or anywhere in the room. Kuroko let out a long breath and his shoulders relaxed a bit as it slumped to a more comfortable position.

"That is two nights in a row, Tetsuya." A calmed voice resonated from behind, Kuroko turned to see the red head leaning at the door before closing it and took a step by step towards him. Kuroko kept his expression blank, it was not difficult but it is dangerous as the hetero eyes seems to miss not even the smallest of hints. "I've been waiting for you to discuss of something this evening only to find you disappearing yet again."

"Sumimasen deshita. What of matters would you like to discuss with me about, Akashi-kun." Kuroko had drifted to the king sized bed and sat at the edge as he look straight at the still standing person in the huge bedroom.

"What do you think about attending school, Tetsuya?"

Kuroko didn't expect that. "What about work, Akashi-kun?"

"We both know we can manage both without overtiring ourself and still able to have personal life. I had us enrolled to a high school with my adopted brother, Teiko High." Akashi sat close next to the bluenette, his gaze chilling.

"If you had already enrolled us both then why bother asking me now Akashi-kun? And what do you mean by an adopted brother?"

"Just wondering what your answer would be, reading you is harder than before." Akashi said with a lazy tone. "As for that, father called me saying that he had adopted another son, the same age as us. It seems like his parent work for my father and died recently and my father took pity."

Kuroko was unease, he edge to the side to create some space between them, a motion which was ignored by Akashi. "Oh." Was all Kuroko could say.

"Also he knows not about you. Not the fact that you are adopted, in a manner of speaking, and are also in this family, not the fact that you are my fiancé or the vice president of the Akashi Co."

Kuroko nodded.

Akashi climbed on the other side of the bed, placing a bolster between them and calmed his breathing as if preparing for a short slumber before the dawn arises. Kuroko too lay on his side of the bed facing the other direction, looking at the bedside table. Today there was a small crystal clear bowl, one usually use as an aquarium for small fishes. Inside the crystal clear bowl was teardrop like calm water with a flower drifting on it. The flower was a pretty yellow water lily.
