Author's Note: This time I took several days to update so I give you twice longer than usual for this chapter (no, seriously, it's just really need longer chapter, that's why it took me several days to finish). I hope you would enjoy it and not being bored by the longer chapter. It would not have the jealous Akashi here, but this chapter would be important to solidify the ending. Oops, I'll stop now before I spill everything.. :p As usual, thank you very much for all people that have left a review for the last chapter, simsimchocolatte, Rinfantasy, 2 Guests, AkaKuro Shipper, Purified Sins, arudachan, and for people that already make this story your favourite and/or follow this story. I hope you enjoy this new chapter~~

Pretended Boyfriend

- First Date -

'I miss Akashi-kun,' Kuroko sighed. After Akashi's visit to Seirin the other day, they haven't meet again since Akashi already going back to Kyoto. There were sporadic messages and calls of course, but it still could not erase Kuroko's longing. 'Tomorrow is Saturday, should I invite him to go somewhere? But I don't want to sound so eager to go on a date with him.' Thought Kuroko contemplating. At that time, Kuroko's phone was ringing. After glancing at the phone, his heart was beating faster. 'It's Akashi-kun.'

"Tetsuya."

"Hello, Akashi-kun."

"Tetsuya, what did I say about my name?"

"Se.. Sei-kun."

"Good. Tetsuya, do you have time tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Kuroko thought what would his plan tomorrow, "Yes, I don't have any plans tomorrow."

"Good, meet me at Shibuya Station tomorrow."

"Shibuya Station? That's okay, but what would we do there, Akashi-kun?"

"Tetsuya, if you called me with my family name again, there'll punishment for you later. I want you to accompany me shopping, if that's okay for you."

"Okay, Sei-kun." Kuroko's pouting a little. 'I still am not used to his given name.'

"Are you pouting, Tetsuya?" Akashi smirked could be heard from the phone.

"N.. No, Sei-kun."

"Then, see you tomorrow, Tetsuya." Said Akashi, chuckling.

"See you tomorrow, Sei-kun." Said Kuroko as he hung up the phone.

After several moment in silent, at last the phone conversation was dawned at him. 'I'm going on a date with Sei-kun!'

"Akashi-kun, sorry for making you wait," said Kuroko panting from running.

"Don't worry, Tetsuya, you're on time. And your punishment will wait. Be prepared."

"Ah.." said Kuroko just realizing about his mistake. 'I forgot about his name. I wonder what punishment Akashi-kun will prepare.'

"Ah, Tetsuya, you don't want to know what punishment will wait for you," Akashi said grinning to him.

'How did he know what I was thinking about?' thought Tetsuya surprised. "Se.. Sei-kun, what would we do today?"

"I want you to accompany me shopping today."

"Shopping?"

"Sure. I want to buy new basketball shoes."

"Okay, I don't mind accompanying you, but should it be today? And Shibuya of all places? I think there are a lot of other places less crowded than here to buy a good basketball shoes." Said Kuroko confused.

"No, it has to be today, and it has to be here." Said Akashi, smirking about something.

'I don't really understand, but I think he has some plan.' Kuroko thought seeing his smirking. "Okay, then, please lead the way, Sei-kun."

"Oi, Kagami, how about this one?" said a tanned boy to his redhead friend.

"No way, the model was too shoddy. Also I don't like that color combination." Said Kagami.

"Bah… Your taste is the one which is lousy."

"What were you saying, Aomine?"

"I said your taste is lousy!"

"You….!"

"I'm sorry, dear customer, but please no fighting in the store." A shopkeeper suddenly appear besides them.

"Ah, I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Said Kagami bowing his head a little to the shopkeeper.

"Che, that was your fault, Kagami." Said Aomine walking away to another aisle.

Kagami chose to ignore the blue haired boy and shopped around again, looking for a nice basketball shoes. At last he saw a good shoes around the corner, a bright green color shoes. 'Hmm, I like the model, but the color was a little off for my taste. I wonder if this shoes would look good with my hair.' Thought Kagami. He raised my hand to ask for his size.

"Don't ever try it, Kagami-kun. Those color looks outrageous with your hair."

"WOOAAAAHHHHHHH!"

A teal haired boy was appeared out of nowhere beside Kagami.

"Kuroko! How long have you been there?" exclaimed Kagami, surprised.

"A while." Said Kuroko, smile a little.

"Tetsu, what are you doing here?" Aomine back when he heard Kagami screamed and saw that his former shadow was there.

"Aomine-kun. I should said the same for you, what are you doing here?"

"Ah, this Bakagami here was asking me to help him shopping for basketball shoes. He said he would treat me to a movie later so I said okay to his request."

A realization dawned at Kuroko's face. 'I see, so that's why it has to be today, and it has to be here.'

"Then, what are you doing here, Kuroko?" asked Kagami.

"Ah, I…" Before Kuroko finished his sentenced, a voice was interrupted him. "Fancy meeting you two here, Daiki, Kagami." A certain redhead appeared then, walking beside Kuroko, and extending his hand to Kuroko's shoulder.

"Akashi? What are you doing here?" said Aomine.

"For the same purpose as you two here of course, to buy basketball shoes."

"Well, I can see that, but the combination of Tetsu and you is a combination that I'll never think about for something like this. Like Tetsu would likely asked me or Kagami or even Kise to company him shopping. And you would be likely asked Midorima for it, right?" said Aomine confused.

"J.. Jaaa…., let's resume our shopping. Okay?" said Kagami while dragging Aomine to another aisle. 'It's bad, if Aomine knew about those two, then the other would knew too, and it would be too big after that,' thought Kagami.

"Sei-kun, this is your planning, right? Bumping with Kagami-kun and Aomine-kun here?" asked Kuroko staring at Kagami dragging Aomine away.

"Yes, Tetsuya, I thought you want to make Kagami jealous with our relationship, so I thought this would be a perfect chance."

"Yeah, you're right, Sei-kun." Said Kuroko. His face show no emotion but inside his heart was pained greatly.

"Tetsuya, how about this one?" asked Akashi handing him a red shoes while casually put his hand on Kuroko's waist.

"I think it's a good choice, Sei-kun." Said Kuroko smiling a little.

"Oi, Kagami, don't you think the two of them are too touchy feely for a friend?" asked Aomine while observing Kuroko and Akashi.

"N.. No! Why do you think that? I think it's normal between friends. Look!" uttered Kagami putting his hand to Aomine's waist too.

"A.. Aho! What are you doing?" exclaimed Aomine shocked as he tried to push Kagami's hand out.

"What are you saying? I'm showing you an affection as your friend." Said Kagami still gripping Aomine's clothes.

"Wha… Who said I want to be your friend, huh?" Aomine pushed Kagami with no success and they're bickering again.

"What are they doing?" asked Kuroko, confused with the behavior of his Lights.

"Just let them be. They are just stupid. Tetsuya, why you chose stupid people as your light continuously was beyond me." Said Akashi.

"Akashi! I heard you!" Kagami and Aomine shouted. Kuroko sighed, 'It would be a long day.'

"Tetsuya, what's wrong? You look a bit listless today. Don't you enjoy our date?"

"Nothing wrong at all, Sei-kun. Of course I really enjoy our date." Kuroko smiled a little to reassure Akashi.

"Hmm, don't lie to me. If you're worried about Kagami and Daiki's relationship, don't worry about it at all. I'm sure that they don't have any relationship beyond friends since Daiki is already in relationship with other person." Said Akashi as he pet Kuroko's head lightly.

"Yeah, thank you, Sei-kun." Said Kuroko as he tried to composure his emotionless face. Those words from Akashi was pained him. 'As I thought, Sei-kun just trying to help me with Kagami-kun. All of those affection before were just for show.' Thought Kuroko as he prayed that the redhead would not be able to see the turmoil inside his heart.
