Day 29: Old Jerseys and Midnight Surprises

Summary: While cleaning, Tetsuya stumbles upon Akashi's old Rakuzan basketball uniform. That gives him the idea to surprise his husband by wearing it when he gets home from work.


It was a typical Friday, Akashi working at the Akashi Corporation and Tetsuya had just returned from the Elementary school that he worked at as a kindergarten teacher. The phantom had the rest of the afternoon to just relax while he waited for his husband to return home from work in the evening.

He didn't have anything else better to do so Tetsuya decided that he might as well do a little bit of spring cleaning. He knew that Akashi loved having their home spotless and besides, Tetsuya honestly didn't mind cleaning, since it kept his mind occupied and the reward of it all was very satisfying.

He began by entering the bedroom that he shared with Akashi, opening the rather large closet that took up an entire wall. In a closet that was so ridiculously huge, there has got to be some stuff that could be tossed or cleaned.

The first thing that caught Tetsuya's attention was a cardboard box that laid right next to Akashi's collection of leather shoes, the box feeling kind of out of place and distracting.

What's this doing here? Tetsuya leaned down to pick up the box, noticing that the faintest coat of dust covered it, this looked like it hadn't been opened in months, maybe even years.

He places the box on their bed and carefully opens the flaps, and with it, the feelings of nostalgia and amazement came with it. Inside the box was Akashi's old Rakuzan uniforms. His school uniforms, and his basketball uniforms were all kept inside here. He hasn't seen Akashi in his old Rakuzan uniforms since graduation, and Tetsuya could feel the waves of nostalgia seeping in as memories flowed through his head.

So much has happened since high school, and it's hard to believe that the two of them once played against each other back when they still played basketball. He wonders what it would be like to see his husband wear his old uniform once again. Would it still fit him? How would he feel wearing his old basketball uniform for the first time in years?

Then he wondered what it would be like if Tetsuya himself would put wear his old uniform. Tetsuya blinked at the unexpected thought. It was so unlike him, yet he couldn't help his curiosity from blooming. He's never worn the Rakuzan uniform before, he's home alone, so whose going to stop him from trying it on? Just for fun.

Tetsuya takes Akashi's old jersey, the white and blue uniform looked untouched and perfectly clean, as if it was brand new. He wasn't sure if he wanted to wear it, fearing that he'll dirty the precious old uniform, but it wasn't like he was going to leave the house with it on, he'll just be careful. So the phantom takes the jersey and places it on the bed next to the box, his hand gently brushing the jersey of any creases before he takes his shirt off. He puts the jersey on delicately, as if it will stretch out or rip if he isn't too careful.

Once he had it once, he began to take off the slacks he was wearing and put on the matching basketball shorts when he stopped himself. Right now, he was wearing absolutely nothing except the jersey since he accidentally took off the boxers he was wearing without realizing it. He snapped his head towards the giant mirror in the bedroom to his left. The jersey was too big for Tetsuya, but it was still short enough for the end of the jersey to reach his high thighs, just barely covering…well what needed to be covered. The jersey by itself was revealing and Tetsuya for a split second wondered how Akashi would feel if he just wore his Rakuzan jersey and nothing else. If it were up to Tetsuya's intuition, then he would find it either cute, sexy or a mixture of the two.

That was when Tetsuya decided that he would surprise his husband by wearing his jersey just as it is and wearing nothing else. As for what he had in store for in the future, Tetsuya had no idea but honestly, he couldn't help but feel the anticipation of greeting his hard-working husband in this attire. It was something new, something very daring for the usually modest Tetsuya to do, and maybe he might get some sort of reward afterword.

Tetsuya quickly closes the box after that decision, placing it right where he found it as if it was never tampered with and with that notion, the waiting game is on!


It was about 4 hours later and Akashi should be coming home soon. Tetsuya was sitting on the couch, reading another one of his classic novels while still wearing Akashi's old basketball jersey, hoping to catch his husband by surprise. He had opted earlier to not start cleaning the house in fear of getting some sort of cleaning sprays on the uniform. Besides, it wasn't like the house was that filthy either, since Tetsuya had just cleaned it the day before.

His cell phone that had been sitting on the coffee table next to the couch began to vibrate abruptly. Bookmarking his page, Tetsuya set the novel on his lap and reached for the phone, unlocking it to read the message.

-Message Received: 6:42pm

Forgive me, love. But I have a meeting that will be taking longer than anticipated. I will be home late.

-Seijuro

Tetsuya could feel his heart sink. After all of this time lounging around in his jersey, waiting impatiently for his husband to come home and it turns out that he'll be late. Tetsuya couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, he's used to waiting. It's not uncommon for Seijuro to have to stay late at the corporation due to some incompetent worker or a last minute meeting. And it wasn't like he ate, lived and breathed his job. He'll be home…eventually.

Tetsuya could only sigh, sending a quick reply to his husband that he received the message before placing his cell phone back onto the coffee table and picking up where he left off on his novel, hoping that time will just fly by.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen.


It was now past 11, Seijuro's meeting was going on for way too long and Tetsuya was getting tired. Even if his husband came home right now, he doesn't have the energy to do anything too exhilarating tonight. He had finished reading his novel and was the TV was on, some documentary about sharks was playing in the background but Tetsuya wasn't really paying attention. His mind was wandering and his eyelids were drooping from sleep. He knew that he shouldn't fall asleep on the couch, and he knew that he should probably put on some proper pajamas instead of the Rakuzan jersey he was still adorning.

However his battle with fighting off sleep was losing, and Tetsuya couldn't help but close his baby blue eyes, his body relaxing, his breath becoming even and his mind giving in to the sweet embrace of sleep.


It was exactly midnight when Akashi finally arrived home. These long meetings were taking its toll on the young adult and he just couldn't be more than happy to finally be home.

"Tetsuya, I'm home!" he called into the darkness of their home. The redhead wasn't sure if his husband was even awake, seeing as there weren't any lights on.

He took his shoes off and placed his suitcase on a nearby wall before walking into their living room, noticing that all the lights were off except for the faint light of the TV, showing an opening for a shark documentary.

How unusual, Akashi thought, slowly moving towards the television to turn it off. Usually Tetsuya turns the television off before he goes to sleep so it was rather odd to see it still on yet all of the other houselights were off.

He was just about to reach for the remote on the coffee table when he noticed a figure on the couch. Crimson eyes widened in surprise at the scene before him.

Laying on the couch was his husband, his baby blue locks in the 1st stage in its evolution to a super saiyan level bedhead and his eyes closed and completely asleep. He seemed to be wearing some sort of tank top but Akashi couldn't tell from where he was standing. He took a few steps closer and that's when it hit him.

He's wearing my old Rakuzan jersey, and that wasn't all. The uniform was a bit big, some of the fabric bunching due to how Tetsuya was lying down and the jersey was a bit big on him, the ends of the fabric resting on Tetsuya's high thighs, giving his husband a pretty nice view of his legs since he apparently wasn't wearing anything else but that too big jersey.

It was very revealing, and if Tetsuya was fully awake and maybe gave him some sort of a teasing greeting when he arrived home, then he might have been turned on from it, but for right now, watching his husband sleep soundly, the blue lights of the shark documentary hitting his sleeping body was just too cute.

"Hmm, that's no good, love. You shouldn't be sleeping on the couch or you'll be sore in the morning," he whispered, taking a gentle hand and stroking his husband's locks. He had no idea how Tetsuya had found his old uniform nor did he know the exact reason why he was wearing it, but he had a feeling that his husband wanted to surprise him, which he did even though he wasn't awake to see it.

Akashi smiles warmly at the cute sight, and quickly decides to take out his cell phone to take a picture of his adorable, sleeping husband. What he would do with the photo was up to the future to decide, but for right now, he just wanted to take his husband to bed with him and fall asleep, his exhausted mind begging for rest.

Giving in to those desires, Akashi places an arm around his husband's exposed thighs and another around his waist and gently lifted him into his arms. Tetsuya stirred a little, his head resting and nuzzling into Akashi's chest but otherwise remained fast asleep. Carrying him like a princess, Akashi slowly makes his way into their bedroom, being careful not to wake him up and also not to bump into any walls or doors along the way.

He arrived in their bedroom and Akashi carefully and gently placed his husband under the covers. Stripping himself of his tie and shirt, he undressed, changing into pajamas before returning to the bedroom to switch off the television that he still left on.

It didn't take him too long for the redhead to crawl through the darkness of their home and back into bed with his resting husband. The redhead crawled under the covers and gently pulled his husband into a loving embrace, Tetsuya unconsciously nuzzling into Akashi's chest. Akashi held his husband close, kissing the crown of his head.

He was so lucky to have such a sweet and adorable man like Tetsuya in his life. He never ceases to surprise him and tonight was no exception. In the morning, he knew he was going to shower Tetsuya in so much affection about how much he loved his choice of attire and just how cute he can be when he's sleeping. Yeah, Akashi was very lucky to be married to such a wonderful husband, and he will always be grateful that Tetsuya was there with him and thinking of him.

His finger ghosted over Tetsuya's cheek, careful not to wake him up and he pressed on last loving good-night kiss on the top of his husband's head.

"I love you so much, sweet dreams, love," was the last thing he whispered before he too fell asleep.
