Pairing: Akashi/Furihata

Upside Down

Chapter 21: One

Sitting nervously beside Akashi and in front of his mother and stepfather, only separated from them by a table, Furihata nibbled on his lower lip. They were going to be disowned, weren't they? After being caught doing such act, that was the only conclusion he could arrive at.

On the other hand, Akashi remained calm and composed. If all else fail, he could always manipulate the Generation of Miracles members into doing things for him, like getting him a house, a job and etc. There's also his Rakuzan Team. He snorted a bit. Love was troublesome. But Furihata was worth all the trouble anyway.

Love, it didn't just make people weak –it also made people weak and strong all at the same time. Really, it doesn't make any sense but it felt right.

Smiling a bit, Akashi grabbed Furihata's hand. Squeezing on it a bit, he declared, "I'll take responsibility and marry your son."

"I love Kouki after all. You love me too, don't you?" he glanced at Furihata.

Furihata glanced back at him. Gulping, he shut his eyes tightly then exclaimed, "I- I love Akashi-kun t-too! I-I know we might get d-disowned f-for this b-but… I… there's nothing I can do. I really t-tried to hold back a-and well… it didn't w-work out."

After saying so, he moved his hand, intertwined his fingers with Akashi and squeezed on his hand.

If Furihata felt like anything, he felt like a woman telling his parents that she wanted to marry a man she's been secretly dating for years –secretly because her parents were against the man. Better yet, a woman announcing pregnancy with her boyfriend to her parents. He bit his lower lip. Damn, he was nervous.

It wasn't until a little later when finally, their parents reacted. Seiji was first to react.

"T-this… I-I-I… Oh my god! I- K-Keiko, son, my son!" he whimpered then clung onto his future wife's arm.

"M-My son is…" he sniffed.

Wiping the comical tears that had formed at the perimeters of his eyes, he sobbed, "M-My son is in love! H-how fast time flies? H-he was just… so small then, b-but then look at him now! H-he wants to g-get married! K-Keiko… I just–" he cut himself off and began bawling.

"Seijuurou, look at you all grown up!" he cried, nudging his head onto his fiancée's arm.

Keiko sighed and pat Seiji's head, "Damn. My son's bottoming. That's just…" she sighed yet again. What was she expecting? Between Akashi and Furihata, of course Furihata would be the one bottoming.

The reaction of their parents had surprised the two. They acted as if their announcement was the most normal thing in the world. Truth be told, Furihata was expecting to see an infuriated Seiji and a bitter Keiko –okay, maybe his mother was a bit bitter, but not for the reason he expected her to be!

"Y-you're not mad?" Furihata lamely stammered.

Keiko and Seiji glanced at him.

"Eh? Is there anything to be mad about?" was Seiji's reaction while "No." was Keiko's.

Akashi shot his father a glare. For a second, he really thought he was going to say 'My son is… homo', but he didn't. Instead, he went off saying something like 'My son is in love'. He was really expecting something terrible, but then all he got was his father acting all… fatherly in a girly way. Was there a catch? Did they think this was a joke?

"This isn't a joke, father. I really do love Kouki." he affirmed seriously.

Seiji tilted his head, "And so? I don't see the point why I should be mad." he muttered.

"M-mom?" Furihata spoke in a tone which implied that he had the same question as Akashi.

Keiko shrugged, "What? I'm not mad. I mean… Right now, I'm just really disappointed because you're not topping. Truth be told, honey, I've been secretly shipping you with Seijuurou-kun from the beginning. If there's anything that shocked me today, then that'd be Seiji's reaction. I thought he'd be mad too."

Furihata choked, "Y-you've been what!?"

Keiko snickered, "Sorry, darling. Your mom's a fujoshi." she broke out in laughter.

Hearing the mini conversation, Seiji sniffled, "Whaaat?! Why does everyone think I'll get mad?" he whined childishly.

"How mean…" he muttered.

Akashi frowned, "Father." he firmly said, implying something.

Seiji glanced at him. He sighed and postured up.

"Seijuurou, I'm not mad. I don't see any reason to be mad. You allowed me to marry Keiko, and I know you're happy that I found someone for me. It's just fair –and I think normal, for me to be happy and allow you to love whoever you want to love. You respected me, and so, I guess, if you're still suspicious, just take this as me respecting you back." the older redhead smiled at his son.

"You're my son; you're my adorable son. Your preferences doesn't change the fact that you're the adorable son I've been adoring since then. Seijuurou, I'm going to be honest. I'm a bit sad that it crossed your mind, me hating you because of something like this. I'll love you no matter what you do, what you become and who you love. Please remember that from now on." Seiji looked away; he seemed to be a bit embarrassed saying such sentimental things.

Keiko pat his head, "Same goes for me. Even though you're the uke, I still love you, Kouki."

Furihata bit his lower lip. Tears formed at the edge of his eyes. He didn't want to be sentimental, but he just couldn't help but to become all sappy and emotional. After all the things that Seiji and Keiko had said, he felt relieved –so relieved that it was bringing him to tears.

"M-mom… S-Seiji-san…" he muttered, holding back the tears.

"Father, stepmother, I will forever be grateful for this." Akashi bowed.

Seiji shyly scratched his cheek, "Plus, if you guys are worried who'll continue the bloodline, don't underestimate Keiko and I. We're still young. Heh. Aren't we, Keiko-chaaan~?" his eyes glinted significantly as he glanced at Keiko.

Keiko's face darkened. It didn't take too long before a handful of seaweed was shoved inside Seiji's mouth.

Furihata sweat dropped. Akashi flinched.

"You… talk way too much."

Left alone in the Akashi residence after Furihata and Akashi had went home, Keiko turned to Seiji. With arms folded, she asked seriously, "Hey, you're really not mad?"

She was just really curious.

Seiji turned to her. With a small smile on his face, he shook his head, "Nah."

"I'm not going to deny it, when I saw them, I was really shocked. Even more shocked when they confirmed they liked each other. But then, it really helped a lot, how Kouki-kun resembles you and how Seijuurou resembles me. Before I could get angry, I suddenly thought of you and thought 'If Keiko was a guy, would I not fall in love with her?'" he paused, then looked away, maintaining his smile.

"At that time, all I could think of was 'If that's the case, then I'm not in love. I'm just living up to the standards of society. It's not their fault they're both boys. If one of them was a girl, I'd most definitely allow them, so why won't I let them be just because they're both guys?' I mentally snickered at that time and thought, 'Bloodline? We can makedo with that.' I mean, we can, can't we, Keiko-chan?" he joked at the end.

Keiko sniggered, "Ahh, Seiji, this is no good."

"Eh? What's no good?" the redhead blinked innocently.

"We thought of the same thing. I kind of saw in them our 'yaoi' counterpart and so I couldn't get mad. I wasn't mad and won't be mad to begin with, but the fact that they looked just like us –well, in a way, made me lose my capability to get mad at them even though I'm not really mad." she giggled.

"At this rate, I'm going to love you even more. Haha~" she finished and burst in laughter.

Seiji blushed, "Uwaaah, I want to go on honeymoon already!"

Arriving at the Furihata residence and making it at the entrance, Furihata had collapsed. Home –finally he was home. Down on the floor, almost immediately, he fell asleep. Although he had fallen asleep in the train on their way back, nothing beats the feeling of being home.

"Kouki, don't sleep on the floor. You'll catch a cold." Akashi reminded. But it was later proven as useless seeing that Furihata didn't even groan.

A sigh passed his lips.

Leaving his luggage at the side, he picked Furihata up and brought the brunette to his room. Lying him on the bed, he thought of leaving but decided to do otherwise. The luggage could wait, but the comfort of sleeping next to the one you like couldn't. Snorting, he got in his bed and crawled up right next to the brunette.

Encircling his arms around the slightly shorter one's body, he snuggled on Furihata's neck and murmured, "You're troublesome."

Much to his surprise, he got a response, "You're absolute, Akashi-kun…"

"Absolutely just as troublesome."

Akashi snorted.

"Hmp. Shut up, Kouki. Go to sleep before I change my mind letting you rest and ravish you instead."

A week later, the most awaited day had finally come –Keiko and Seiji's wedding. After the ceremony, a small program had been held. In the program, a news had been broken that shocked everybody, except for Furihata and Akashi.

"This wasn't supposed to happen till after the wedding but… hahaha, I'm going to be a dad of three kids from now on! Keiko's one week pregnant."

Furihata cringed slightly at the thought that something had happened between his mom and Akashi's dad after they've left them alone in the house. Akashi snorted, he sort of had a feeling something like this was going to happen.

After the announcement, the couple shared a dance along with the others who wanted to dance as well and due to popular demand, Furihata and Akashi were asked to dance. Soon after, the program ended and the newly wed couple headed off to their honeymoon.

For the last time until next school year (in which it had been decided that Akashi will be transferred to Seirin for good and will live with Furihata until then), Akashi and Furihata headed home together. Getting home and changing into their casual attire, Furihata plopped down on the bed and rolled around, only to be halted by Akashi, suddenly pouncing on him and pinning him down.

"Kouki, aren't we as good as married now?" he flatly asked, smirking.

Furihata blushed, "U-uhmm… I guess so."

"Then technically, it's our honeymoon too, right?" he pushed through, his smirking widening by the second.

Furihata didn't answer. His face got redder.

"Let's continue what we left off at my house. Ahh… but this time though, there's no way I'll be gentle. You had defied me after all, therefore you must be punished~" Akashi licked his lips, in such way as if he just saw something really delicious.

Furihata gulped nervously, "A-Akashi-kun, I... uhh–"

"I wasn't asking you. I was telling you. My words are absolute. Have you forgotten, Kouki?" Akashi paused.

"Hmph. Plus, judging from how your arms are now wrapped around my neck, you want to do it to, don't you?"

There was a glint in Akashi's eyes.

Furihata's face color had put Akashi's hair to shame. Looking away, he murmured shyly, "Yeah, but I want to top."

Akashi snorted and retreated away from Furihata, "Let's go to sleep."

Lying beside Furihata and was ready to sleep, it was then when Akashi was faced with Furihata's secret weapon.

Pinning Akashi down, and with a determined look in his eyes, he requested nicely, "P-please, Akashi-kun. I just want to know how it feels to be in top. My mom's words got me curious. It got me thinking what's so great about being on top. So please, Akashi-kun! Next time and the times after that next time, I'll bottom. Just… this time. On our first time. Please."

"I'm really curious."

Furihata had played dirty.

That cuteness should be illegal.

Extra:

"K-Kouki… you're not supposed to put it in just ye– Ahh!"

Too late. Furihata already did. Akashi's eyes widened. Beads of tears literally sprinkled out from his eyes as he gasped out in pain.

Why the hell did he agree to this again?

"I'm sorry, Akashi-kun! Akashi-kun…?"

Akashi's body had limped.

"A-Akashi-kun!"

Furihata was never going to top ever again, not on Akashi's watch.

End of 'Upside Down'

Author's Note:

Yaaay. It finally ended. Thank you for reading up until the end, everyone. Anyway, I've got bad news (or I dunno). I may not do the spin-off after all. I'm not sure yet, but I guess… uhh, just don't expect anything from me right now. Expectation is the root of all heartaches and I don't want to break anyone's heart. You are all so kind to me after all.

Anyway, before I end this story, I would just like to thank each and everyone of you, again. I've thought of dropping this story several times, but because everyone's so nice and supportive, I was able to think something up whenever I ended up screwing up. It's all thanks to everyone that I was able to finish.

I'm sorry for troubling you, guys, in any way. I'd also like to apologize for pulling a prank like that. Haha~

For the last time in this fanfic, thank you for reading. If you have anything you want to say, feel free to say it. Hope you enjoyed reading up until the end. I love you all.

Until then. See you soon. It was fun working with all of you.
