I HAVE FIXED SOME MISTAKES AND MISSING WORDS I'm so sorry that I have to repost this instead of replacing it, but idk how to make you guys read this notice.
I'm looking for another beta reader, who I can keep in touch just like my beta for khr, Pure Red Crane. I have this horrible habit of forgeting who's my beta for each of my stories after a few weeks/months, especially when I'm swamped with school works. I want to be able to reach my beta as easy as when I reach my friend over LINE/Twitter. So anyone who has LINE/Twitter account or willing to make one and interested in being a beta for this story and probably several akakuro stories I have in my head, please kindly drop a PM or contact me in line/twitter : ang _ rahma (minus the space). You don't have to be superb/professional. Thank you very much.

Kuroko's Complex
07.00 PM
A noticeable bug bug from the sound of his boots shoes against the marble stair resounded as a handsome young man made his way to his apartment. Stylishly styled short teal hair was floating slightly as the wind breeze ever softly while he walked with such a grace no one could imitate in his complex.
Most of the people he came across bothered to turn their heads to him as he walked. Their eyes followed him before they snapped and resumed their activities; as if he's a fallen noble in a commoner place. Even though his complexion was a few shades paler under the scrunity of bright summer sun, they couldn't deny that he's still undeniably pleasing to the eyes. White shirt which followed the countour of his body with rolled up sleeve completed with the top buttons left unbuttoned, black pants, and black FOSSIL watch adorned his left wrist. He was immaculately modest with his outfits, remembering that he has enough fortune of himself to feed a small country in Africa, but still really pleasing and teasing to the eyes and minds. Unbeknown to the public, he has hid several weapons behind his charming looks.
Internally he cringed at blunt, lusty stare of a girl who lived on top of his floor as they passed each other on the stair.
"Ara ara, isn't it Kuroko-kun?" The girl greeted.
"Good evening, Shizuhara-san." Kuroko politely replied.
"Ah, I've told you to call me Mika, Kuroko-kun." The girl batter her eyelashes. "Anyway, I saw that you're going to get a new neighbor. A very handsome man when I saw him earlier." She sighed dreamily.
Kuroko mentally frowned at the news.
"Is that so, Shizuhara-san?" Kuroko asked.
"Ara, but of course, Kuroko-kun is better." She giggled flirtatiously.
Kuroko only smiled tightly. "Well then, don't let me hold you back from your business, Shizuhara-san." Kuroko nodded politely before leaving her alone.
'A new neighbor?' Kuroko mused.
He shrugged the thought before he climbed up the last stair to his floor. As soon as he rounded the corner of his apartment corridor, his eyes swiftly zero-ed to the red head who was standing in the middle of the corridor while several people moved some boxes into an apartment near his.
He openly frowned at the new development as he quickened his walk to his apartment. He didn't know about this, since he was out with Kiyoshi, Kagami, Mitobe and Hyuuga from the dawn. After their exercise regime in the forest, they went into their separate ways to enjoy some private time. But after three days, Kiyoshi, Kagami and Hyuuga were already back and making some arrangements to hang out together.
"Because I don't have anything to do."
"My family lives in America and it's too much of a hassle to go there."
"Riko is having a vacation with his father and will not come back until next week."
And since he didn't have anything important to do either, they decided to hang out from the morning. They have morning jogging together, before they crashed at Kagami's apartment and ate breakfast. After a delightful breakfast courtesy of Kagami, they played basketball together and had a late lunch in a nearby café. Since it's still too early to come back, they went into the cinema and watched a random movie Kiyoshi picked, which turned out to be good enough that he made a mental note to ask a copy of the movie from Murasakibara. Kagami invited them all to have dinner on his place, but he refused and opted to go back to his apartment. Kagami looked a bit disappointed as he left, but he didn't have much choice. It's better to be a bit harsh, rather than giving the red head a false hope.
On the way back, he imagined he would have a nice, hot bath before fixing himself a dinner and enjoyed some calm time to read some books before going to bed.
What a wishful dream.
"What are you doing, Sei?" Kuroko quickly asked the smug looking Akashi.
Forget about it being near his apartment, he practically moved right to his next door.
"I'm moving here." Akashi replied calmly.
"What." Kuroko deadpanned. Surely this man he unfortunately has as an unbreakable fiancé must be joking just to rile him up, right?
"I'm moving here." Akashi said more slowly this time with an amused expression on his aristocratic face; as if he was talking to a toddler.
"I heard what you said perfectly, Sei." Kuroko tried to calm his nerves. "But why on Earth do you move here? It's ridiculously far from your university, not to mention," Kuroko raised his eyebrow, "It's exceptionally a very small apartment."
"So I have noticed." Akashi hummed in reply as he watched the men put some furniture into the apartment.
"But you couldn't live in a cramped room." And that's true. The red head has immeasurable dislike to a small space. Not because of fear or phobia, but more likely because of the feeling of being crowded. He preferred to have a vast room because it made a better room to think and breathe. Kuroko also shared the same sentiment, but he accepted the lack of vast room back then due to the circumstances and forcefully adapted himself.
But he couldn't surely say the same to the Akashi.
"True." Akashi nodded. "However, I could manage as long as my bedroom isn't cramped."
"Sei, surely you have seen the size of the bedroom before you came here right?" Kuroko internally twitched at Akashi's uncharacteristic ridiculousness.
"Of course." Akashi hummed once again. "That's why I want your consent to break the wall which separated our bedroom. That way, the room would looks much bigger." He turned his head to Kuroko. "It's not a problem since we're engaged, right?" Akashi smirked devilishly.
"Why are you moving here in the first place?" Kuroko decided to ignore the more ridiculous notion Akashi said.
"Isn't it obvious? I want to be closer with you." Akashi bluntly said as he stood right in front of him. "With this, I could spend more time with you." Akashi caressed a handful of his hair.
"This is ridiculous." Kuroko said as he flicked Akashi's hand.
"I have to disagree." Akashi countered. "It's either this, or you move into my place, which is unlikely thing you would do."
"Why the sudden action, Sei?" He asked with narrowed eyes.
"We're engaged, therefore, it's a normal thing if we live together, or in our case, nearby, as you warm up to me." Akashi neared his face until there wasn't two inches space between them. "I begin to tired of this game of yours, Tetsuya. I yearn for your touch," He gently intertwined their hand, "For your love." Akashi buried his face to the crook of his neck. He mentally smirked as he felt Kuroko's unconsciously relax under his touch. "If you won't come to me, then I shall come to you." He left fluttery kisses on his exposed skin. "Seijuuro." Kuroko sighed in a tired manner; as if he's the Romeo and he's the Juliet and their love was forever ever forbidden as their father spilled blood like Hook and Peter in the Neverland and they would never get their happy ending just like the children in Neverland who would never ever get older.
Akashi begged to differ.
He'd not let anything but happy ending come to them. Even it meant using force.
"Tetsuya." Akashi replied seriously as his eyes were drawn into Kuroko's captivating eyes. They're so bright and vibrant as they were hiding the glimmer of intelligence and calmness that has seen too much of this life. Akashi felt his urge -obsession- to shield Kuroko from this harsh and unforgiving world intensified insignificantly, but he swiftly squashed it down to the back of his mind, where he could contemplate it when he's not with Kuroko who could read his intention like an open book.
He smirked in triumph as he watched acceptance in Kuroko's eyes.
"Fine. Do as you wish." Kuroko sighed as he rubbed his temple. "Although I won't be hold responsible with the inconvenience you're going to have." He ended dryly.
Akashi only smirked in reply.
"Well then, I'll crash on Kagami's tonight." Kuroko said.
The smirk on Akashi's face disappeared as fast as a deep frown settled on his face.
"Why? Do you have a sleepover with your friends?" Akashi nothing but interrogated him. Kuroko never said it out loud, but a jealous Akashi was always a source of twisted amusement for him. It was a side of Akashi he found really cute. The way Akashi would react like a cat being rubbed on the wrong way...it's plainly cute. A highly dangerous type of cute, considering the things Akashi could do, but still cute nonetheless. Though he would never, ever admit it.
"No." Kuroko mentally rolled his eyes. "But you're going to destroy the wall in my bedroom, right?"
"Oh, that." Akashi's posture began to relax once more. "Don't worry, it's done." He dismissed.
Kuroko have to hold back the urge to facepalm. The nerve of this man... "One of these days, I'm truly going to kill you, Seijuuro-kun."
"Please do, Tetsuya. I would die happily in your hands." Akashi sarcastically said, though a smug smile was present on his face.

Beams of sunlight attacked a certain teal haired man eyes as they flickered open. His short hair was haphazardly sprawled on the pillow, which he was laying his head on. His thick, soft blanket uncovered his body; showing to the world his lithe, delectably slender body to see and revealing his lightly defined muscles. He closed his eyes again and flicker them open again, and brought his left hand to shield his eyes form the unforgiving sunrays; groaning softly. He enjoyed the warm of his bed for a while, until he opened his eyes again; completely awake. He looked to the clock on his nightstand. It's already seven thirty in the morning. He turned to his right and slightly jolted in surprise when his vision was filled with the sight of Akashi peacefully sleeping.
Oh yeah.
With a newfound awareness, Kuroko slowly and gently repositioned himself so he could study Akashi's peaceful face. Even though they have shared the same bed countless time, be it to sleep or to do some not so innocent thing, it's a very rare occurrence where he would get awake before the red haired man. They weren't morning people, but Akashi always managed to get up first. More often than not he found that he would be awake while cuddling Akashi's warm body while the man himself was watching the softly sounded tv or comfortably reading a book with his other arm wrapped around him.
Well, that's before they parted ways.
Shaking his head at the memories, his eyes noticed the slight gap from their single bed being pushed together.
He unconsciously let out a small amused breath. He has just slipped into his bed after a quick shower last night when he caught Akashi poking the gap between their beds with an adorable frown on his face. When Akashi looked up, he could clearly see what Akashi has in mind.
This is ludicrous.
Considering their history in bed, it was indeed rather absurd to have separate bed pushed together, but Kuroko ignored the look Akashi gave to him and went to sleep.
Kuroko shrugged at his musing and proceed his usual morning routine.
.
The second morning Kuroko found himself in, his head felt slightly painful because he accidentally slept on the gap of their bed. He admitted that he's not exactly a silent sleeper, he always moved around in his sleep; Akashi and Aomine could testify that. Usually the wall or if there's another person who's sleeping right next to him would make his body settled down a bit calmly . However, with the wall gone and Akashi's not exactly right next to him, now he has to nurse a sore head and slightly stiff neck.
On the corner of his eyes, he could see Akashi smirked in knowing as he glared at the gap.
.
The third morning, he absolutely was groaning in discomfort. Somehow, he has slept exactly between his and Akashi's bed and his entire body was sore and stiff where it lied on the gap. He openly glared at Akashi who didn't bother to push him away from laying on the gap to save him from the pain when he woke up.
.
The fourth morning, both of them were groaning in discomfort; seeing that both of them somehow sleep in exactly forty five degrees within their joined bed. When Akashi was gone to take a shower, Kuroko dubiously stared at the innocent gap which has made him sore for the past days. He knew the exact solution for this problem, but he was tentative. Anyhow, now the longer he stared at the gap, the more he found this arrangement precisely absurd as well.
.
The next day, he has replaced both of their single beds with a regular king sized bed.
.
That night, he managed to sleep peacefully while Akashi also slept with a smug smirk on his face as he cuddled the slightly smaller man.

That's how Kuroko found his morning routine right now. More often than not, Kuroko found himself being awake first than Akashi, though not too long after the red haired man would be awake as well; as if their morning clock has synchronized perfectly. Then they would proceed with their own morning tasks. Unlike him, it seemed that Akashi was always busy, even though that this is holiday season. If he's not away, Kuroko always found Akashi deeply nestled on their bed; if not typing on his laptop, examining some papers, making some new development to be implemented to his corporation, arranging some contracts or giving orders from his phone. Even if he's away, Akashi never failed to tell him and it's always business meeting, clan council meeting, checking the company, disposing some weeds on his business, errand for the King, and the list went on. Unlike the rest of the Generation of Miracles, Akashi was the only one who actually has to work full on the clock. With the dead of his parents, he has to manage the affair of the clan as the head, keeping his business in check as the CEO (although it hasn't made public that the CEO of a internationally well-known corporation was still exceptionably young.), and being the leader of the so-called Generation of Miracles was also another stack of works.
This concluded that Akashi was a very busy person.
However, he never, ever heard a single true complaint coming out of Akashi's lips.
Kuroko frowned.
In fact, the only moment Kuroko could heard something resemble close to a complain was years ago, where they're newly and happily engaged.
Flashback
They were sitting around in Akashi's personal garden at his wings on a peaceful and beautiful evening. Akashi laid his head on Kuroko's lap as the latter softly rubbed Akashi's scalp; trying to soothe the tenseness out of Akashi.
"The work is too much of a hassle." Akashi said out of the blue.
Kuroko innocently blinked at the sudden statement. "Then don't." He wisely said.
It's Akashi's turn to blink in surprise at Kuroko's blasé expression.
"I can't. What if I happen to end up on the street because I kill the annoying council?" Akashi humorously said, although the idea of killing the council was tempting…
"Well, if you do happen to end up on the street, Sei-kun," Kuroko rolled eyes after realizing that his fiancé was only teasing him, "I'll take care of you." He ended up in a serious note.
They were eyes-locking for a while before they chuckled together.
"Are you saying that you're going to make me curry for the rest of your life, Tetsuya?" Akashi teased even further.
"I sincerely hope that your face won't turn into curry-like state after consuming it for so long, Sei-kun." Kuroko ended solemnly.
At this, Akashi burst out laughing.
Flashback ended.
"Good days always end after all." Kuroko mused.
He mentally sighed as he saw Akashi was still sitting on the bed with laptop on the bed-desk and some papers strewn around on the bed and his lap with exactly in the same position before he left him to go out with Kiyoshi; as if he didn't move the entire time he has gone. This thing has gone for several days. He never saw Akashi this busy.
And knowing Akashi, he most likely has missed his meals.
"Have you eat, Sei?" Kuroko asked as he put his bag to his desk.
"No." Akashi answered curtly; too immersed in his work.
"You'll get sick at this rate." Kuroko lightly scolded.
"No. Already used to it." Akashi responded before his attention was back to the laptop in front of him.
Kuroko then remembered the time at the festival where he accidentally knew that Akashi has gone without any intake of food for solid six hours.
"It's not a healthy habit." Kuroko sighed.
Now he was torn. While he still perfectly detest and prefer to avoid his so-called fiancé, he still unable to say that he didn't care for him. In fact, no matter how much time has passed and how many he tried to convince himself, he couldn't stop the flow of his feeling to him. He disliked it. It's making him realize just how big Akashi's influence in his life.
It didn't help that now the red head was actually trying to be a constant present in his daily life. He could do anything, make any excuses to avoid him entirely, but he knew it's futile. From his point of view, it seemed that Akashi was truly adamant on getting himself back to the track of his life.
He knew that by moving literally next to him, he would be forced to adjust to the red head's presence, although so far, Akashi hasn't pushed his button and they peacefully continued their own business. Akashi never meddled in his affair or trespassing into his apartment and vice versa. The only time they met each other was when he went into the bed.
He has a good guess of where Akashi wanted to lead this arrangement, but for now, he would play along and see what it would bring to both of them.
And as he said before, it's hard to pretend that he didn't care about Akashi's well beings.
Internally sighing in defeat, Kuroko promptly slipped into his indoor clothes and went into the kitchen to prepare late dinner.
For two.
.
With a tired sigh, Akashi put his glasses on top of his laptop and pinched his nose bridge. He has spent some days working non stop of these annoying paperwork and he's finally three and a quarter way done. He did anticipate a sudden increase of paperwork for this week, but he didn't actually expect that it would be that many. Frankly, it somewhat postponed his plan to work on Kuroko's still icy treatment to him. The rather civil responses he got from Kuroko for the past months were nothing but a huge stroke on luck on his side.
Looking around, he vaguely remember that his teal haired fiancée has come home earlier and was asking him something before he went out of the bed room once again.
He frowned.
It's already half past eleven. Did Kuroko go out again?
Concerned, Akashi –for the first time- trespassed into Kuroko's apartment and opened the door. He looked around and found the middle room was empty. However, soon he heard the sound of movements in the kitchen. Curious, Akashi silently walked to the kitchen and saw Kuroko was wearing his apron while he was in the stirring something.
"It's almost done." Kuroko voiced out before Akashi could observe further. He stood on the edge of the kitchen while he watched Kuroko seasoned some pepper into the rich blob he was cooking. Kuroko then walked to the right shelf and took two plates and put a good amount of nicely cooker rice on it before turning off the stove. After putting the rice, Kuroko put a generous amount of curry and its contents to both of the plates. He then pulled the drawer on the right and took two sets of spoon and fork before putting the plates to the glass table on the dining room.
Slightly surprised, Akashi watched as Kuroko put the plates before coming back into the kitchen and retrieve two clean glasses and a jug filled with what he presumed as iced green tea. From what he saw, Kuroko was making a very late dinner for both of them.
Hasn't Kuroko eaten dinner with his friends?
As if sensing Akashi's question, Kuroko looked up from his position on pouring the iced tea on both of his and Akashi's glass.
"Let's eat lest the curry will go cold, Sei." Kuroko said with his usual monotone voice, but he could perfectly imagine that Kuroko was rolling his eyes as he said that.
"Itadakimasu." Kuroko said before eating his curry. Still slightly stunned at the turn of events, although he wasn't complaining about it, he muttered itadakimasu before digging in his much needed food. He sighed softly at the delicious taste of Kuroko's home made meals and continued his consummation.
Kuroko watched with slight smile at the blissful expression Akashi unconsciously showed at the taste of his meals before he dug into his second dinner. He was right. Akashi still appreciated home made meals better than any take out. A comfortable silence permeated between them as they filled their stomach.
After they finished their meals, Kuroko quickly collected the dirty plates and put it on the dishwasher along with other cooking utensils he used earlier. Akashi stood to do the dishes, but he has forced the red head to sit and enjoyed the tea.
As Akashi watched Kuroko do the dishes, he sipped the deliciously brewed green tea. Even though it's been years, Kuroko still remembered that he preferred Gyokuro tea.
Vaguely, he could remember a conversation between him and Kuroko about making curry for him for the rest of his life. If he erased the break up both of them had –and still have although he's in the process to remedy the situation-, he could say that what they do right now is very wonderfully domestic bliss.
He hid his upcoming smile at the thought with sipping his tea.

"You know you don't have to come along, Sei." Kuroko said as they walked into one of the numerous aisles in the supermarket.
"I don't mind." Akashi replied as he checked a fresh melon. "After all, it's our grocery shopping."
Kuroko felt slight traitorous flutter when he heard 'our grocery' though his expression was still blasé as ever.
They were currently in the supermarket in his area. After the initial dinner, Akashi made breakfast for him in the morning and that's how their new routine started. Akashi would make breakfast while Kuroko make dinner and they took turn in making lunch if both of them happen to be in the apartment that afternoon. Sometimes they would reverse their role, but he still mostly do dinner.
Since it would be silly to have groceries of their own when they both consume it together, Kuroko took the initiative to buy groceries enough to cover both of them for a week. He mentally sighed at the apparent proof that he slowly eased up with Akashi's presence. Another change in his life which Akashi seemed perfectly content with.
'At this rate, I'm going to truly welcoming him back in my life.' Kuroko thought ruefully as he watched Akashi put two fresh melons. They haven't really talked about the cause of their break up years ago, but he wasn't the type of man who hold grudge for so long. In fact, he slowly forgot the main reason as why he left him. He still remembered the pain with crystal clarity, but he has lost the main anger he felt to Akashi. Seeing Akashi being willfully trying to mend their broken relationship helped to soothe the wounds.
He knew both of them literally was in an unavoidable marriage in the future and he could perfectly used it to forcefully tie him to the red head, but Akashi didn't do it and he appreciated the gesture. It meant that Akashi truly want his consent and will in their impending marriage.
All in all, he might slowly accepting him back, but it didn't mean that he would let Akashi waltzed back without a fight.
.
"Excuse me, could you give me a kilo of these shrimps, please?" Kuroko said to the staff as he eyed some other seafood. After checking the freshness of the salmons, Kuroko decided to take two kilos of the salmon. After they're finished in the seafood sections, Akashi followed Kuroko into the meat section, where Akashi was highly amused at the frown Kuroko supported as he poked the beef. They ended up buying another kilo of chicken, since Kuroko found the beef was unsatisfactory. As they waited for the chicken, Akashi threw a discreet stare to Kuroko. He looked remarkably relaxed. He has to ditch two meetings today, but it was worth it. Kuroko may never said it, but he knew that the teal haired man enjoyed doing grocery shopping.
He could see the reason, really.
It's somehow relaxing; choosing the things you want to buy, walking through the aisles, picking things you need for the week. Even more the fact that you're doing it with someone you care about.
As they walked together, he could see some people not so discreetly stared at them. He didn't particularly care, but it has developed into some kind of amusement for him. It seemed that Kuroko was quite popular in this neighborhood.
Kuroko was picking some fresh eggs to buy when he heard the conversation between two females he recognized as the waitress in the café he and his team usually go into.
"Who is the hottie beside Kuroko-san?"
"Maybe both of them are dating?"
"Kyaa! It's so cute!"
"Who top who, I wonder?"
He mentally blushed at the implication.
Just like a trigger, suddenly he was aware that almost most people who they came across quickly whispered in hushed tone and talking about them. He ignored them of course and continued on doing their grocery shopping.
After a particularly hardcore boys-love induced conversation passed them, Akashi wrapped an arm snugly around his waist and stole a peck in front of the said giggling girls.
"Seijuuro!" Kuroko whispered in disbelief as he fought a blush after the girls obviously squealed in delight before running pass them.
A finger silenced his fit, and he was met with Akashi's handsome face; Their forehead and nose almost touching. His clear blue sky's eyes locked into Akashi's deep heterochromatic eyes. His intense stare feel like drowning him into a deep abyss. Blush started to make it's way to his cheeks.
"It seems I haven't lost my touch to make you blush, Tetsuya." Akashi sensually whispered.
Reddening even more, he broke their position with a tinge of embarassed irritation at Akashi. "I have to buy some dairy product." Kuroko said hastily as he speed-walked to the cold aisle.
Shaking in open amusement and delight. He followed Kuroko with their trolley in front of him.
They bought a carton of fresh milk and some yoghurt. At Akashi's insistence, they also bought two cartons of Vanilla, Green Tea and Chocolate flavoured ice cream. Both of them have to go back to the Coffee, Cream and Tea section since he has just remembered that they're out of Gyokuro and coffee.
When they finally paid for their groceries, Akashi purposefully and gently shoved Kuroko out of the way before efficiently giving the middle aged woman on the register his credit card.
"My money is also yours, Tetsuya." Akashi calmly reasoned when he felt Kuroko stared at him.
"A newlyweds, eh?" She smiled as the beeps sound from their purchase continued.
"A-ah.." Kuroko awkwardly replied. "We are-"
"We're still engaged." Akashi pleasantly replied with an arm drapped around Kuroko's waist. "He's adamant on finishing our study first before going into marriage."
"Ah, young love." She nodded blissfully. "Both of you looks so synchronized with each other so I thought you're newlyweds." She said. "And a very cute couple too." She teased with a smile.
It seemed that the people around them were eavesdropping on them, if the increase of hushed whispers was anything to go by.
Akashi just smiled charmingly while Kuroko internally wished that his 'lack of presence' work whenever he's with Akashi.
.
Akashi ended up has to bribe Kuroko with Vanilla Milkshake in order to cease Kuroko's sulk because of the earlier event on the cashier. They agreed to have lunch on the resto-cafe as well; they're too tired to make lunch.
When the bill came, he put enough money to cover the bill plus tips on the bill plate after he gave Kuroko "the Look". He was waiting for Kuroko to finish his Vanilla Milkshake while they're musing as who has gotten Murasakibara's attention enough to make him follow him or her like a lost puppy when a waitress came back to their tables with his change.
"Please keep it." Akashi said disinterestedly all while never bother to look at the waitress.
"We can't accept tips, sir." The girl said.
He turned his gaze to the waitress. On the bill plate, he saw the exact amount of his change along with white paper smartly slipped between the money.
Having a hunch, he calmly took his money and pulled out a small white paper filled with phone number. She was smiling seductively with arching her back, hoping that the god like male in front of her will look her open cleavage.
Sneered in disgust, Akashu squeezed the small paper filled with her phone number until it crumpled into a small ball and put it on the bill plate along with the change.
"I don't do plastic." Akashi said with his evil smirk.
"Let's go, Tetsuya. " Akashi said as he left the almost crying girl and led Kuroko to the way out. As soon they're outside, Kuroko shook his head.
"You're so cruel, Sei." Kuroko said as they walked to where Akashi parked his car.
"Ah, that explains the smile tugging on your lips, Love." Akashi smirked.
XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX
"You know," Akashi voiced out as they were lying on the bed; ready to sleep. Kuroko didn't bother to respond, but Akashi knew that the teal haired man was listening.
"I think you were jealous earlier." Akashi continued as he recalled Kuroko's expression when one of his sub –Mayuzumi- came by to drop some snacks he bought in Hokkaido.
"Don't be ridiculous. He's your sub." Kuroko countered with rather icy tones.
'Definitely jealous.' Akashi thought with guilty satisfaction.
"Yes you are." Akashi stated.
"I'm not." Kuroko replied with louder voice.
Akashi couldn't help but let a satisfied smirk appeared on his face as he heard Kuroko denied it. He could imagine the pout his lover was supporting right now.
Unable to resist the temptation, he quickly pushed Kuroko's unsuspecting body so he lay completely on his back while he straddled Kuroko.
"You should brush up your skill in lying, Love." Akashi said deeply.
"What." Kuroko tried to use his deadpan expression and failed miserably in Akashi's opinion. "I'm not lying. I'm not jealous." Kuroko said.
Akashi's smirk widen when he saw Kuroko unconsciously did his 'annoyance pout'. Whenever he was like this, it meant that every single thing he said was the complete opposite of what he felt.
Feeling extremely pleased, Akashi bended his body and kissed Kuroko's delectable lips."Yes yes. I love you too, Tetsuya."

Okay, so I'll probably make this kind of chapter again for the next update.
Please drop a review!
