The daycare wasn't a popular place for children to go, but it had a promising aura of love. In the daycare, the caretaker was a blue haired boy named Kuroko who was only 23 years old. He took care of 6 children; Kagami, Aomine, Murasakibara, Midorima, Kise and Akashi, who were all 5 years old. Kuroko took care of them with his friends, Momoi Satsuki and Aida Riko. Though his friends helped, it was mainly Kuroko who all of the children loved to be around. Every day, they wold run over, tug at Kuroko's legs and beg him to read them their favourite story.

It was called, "Born to Love You". The small picture book followed the lives of a young couple who were separated by their parents because of their statuses. Eventually, it lead the couple to their unfortunate deaths. Kuroko recited the ending, "However, in the end the princess and the farmer were reborn into people of the same status. So they were able to love again without their parents separating them."

The blue haired boy closed the picture book and sighed at the children sleeping on his lap. All except Akashi who seemed to be thinking really hard about something.

"Sei-chan, is something wrong?" Kuroko asked gently while putting the book aside. Akashi hugged the blue haired boy tightly and asked,

"Kuroko-sensei, do you believe in reincarnation?"

The blue haired boy chuckled and wrapped his arms around the redhead, "I do, Sei-chan. Did you know that if you're reborn 100 times and you fall in love with the same person 100 times, then it's true love?"

Crimson eyes looked up into Kuroko's blue ones, "Does Kuroko-sensei love me? Cause I love you!"

"Of course I love you, Sei-chan. Now is the time to nap though, not discuss reincarnation."

Akashi curled up in Kuroko's embrace and closed his eyes. All of the sudden, the blue haired boy felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. He did his best to ignore it and he held the small redhead in his arms.

When Kuroko opened his eyes, he saw a worried expression staring down at him.

"Kuroko-sensei? Kuroko-sensei?!"

In the back of his mind, the blue haired boy heard another voice. This voice was much deeper and it had a nice rich, soft tone that called out, "Tetsuya… Tetsuya, remember me."

A girl with pink hair appeared in his field of view. She shook Kuroko lightly by the shoulders, "Tetsu-kun?! What's wrong?!"

"Eh?" The blue haired boy said, snapping back to reality. He propped himself on his elbows and saw Akashi staring up at him, tears filling his eyes. The pink haired girl put a hand against Kuroko's forehead.

"You have a really bad fever that just popped out from nowhere. Sei-chan was really worried about you. He said you were crying in your sleep."

"Ah…" Kuroko said while wiping the sweat from his brow, "Is that so?"

The little redhead gripped the blue haired boy's hand protectively as if Akashi was going to guard Kuroko from something. The blue haired boy gave a small laugh, "Sei-chan, it's okay. I'm fine, see?"

Kuroko took the redhead's small hand and brought it up to his face. Akashi felt his caretaker's warmth under his fingertips and then smiled back, feeling relieved. Even though Kuroko wore a smile on his face, he still couldn't shake the strange feeling he had.

Who was calling out my name…? He wondered to himself. The blue haired boy wasn't able to recognize the voice.

Once the children went home, Kuroko lay down on his bed and thought hard about who he had heard. That night in his dream, he heard the same voice calling out to him.

"Tetsuya… Don't you remember me?"

But this time, he saw a blurry silhouette of a person standing in front of him. He saw a boy with red hair, he was wearing a white jersey that said, "Teiko" on it. The boy whispered again, "Remember me." And then he was gone.

The next morning, the blue haired boy looked up the word "Teiko" on the internet. He found out that it was a school and once he found the school address, he immediately took a drive to the school after classes were over. He slowly browsed the hallways, hoping to find something that would give any hints about the person in his dream. As he was walking down the hallways, he saw a display case that said, "Athletic Achievements and Clubs."

Kuroko quickly skimmed over the photos and then saw a boy with blue haired who looked exactly like himself. He stared at the date and noticed it was from about 40 years ago. Kuroko felt a headache at the back of his head as he observed the picture more closely. That's when he saw a redhead's arm wrapped around the blue haired boy's waist, smiling slightly in the photo.

The blue haired boy redhead the plaque that said, "Basketball Club: Aomine Daiki, Kise Ryouta, Midorima Shintaro, Murasakibara Atsushi, Akashi Seijuro and Kuroko Tetsuya."

Kuroko felt like he couldn't breathe.

Akashi was the one who was calling out to me.

Kuroko leaned against the wall, he heard something ringing in his head.

Akashi and I were on the same basketball team.

The blue haired boy slowly shriveled to the ground.

We were known as the Generation of Miracles.

Kuroko's hands clutched the side of his head, trying to escape from the pain.

Akashi and I were dating…We were living together. I got sick. I was hospitalized. I talked about reincarnation. We got matching tattoos. Then…I died…

The blue haired boy gasped for air as he thought hard about what was happening. He felt for the tattoo on his back which he had always believed was a birth mark. Then his eyes suddenly widened in shock,

I'm babysitting the great emperor… Oh gosh, Akashi-kun wouldn't like that at all…

Kuroko slowly picked himself up from the ground and laughed slightly. He muttered to himself, "I died before Akashi-kun, which is why I'm older…My god, this is so wrong. I'm in love with a 5 year old. I mean, I guess it could be worse."

The blue haired boy returned to the daycare and took care of the children who were his former team mates. He tried his best to act normal, but he couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous his team mates looked as children. When Kuroko was helping Akashi change, he noticed the tally mark on his back.

"Sei-chan, when did you get this?" Kuroko asked, testing out Akashi's memory. The redhead smirked and said,

"It's my battle scar from when I valiantly fought against my sister for a cookie. Actually…I think I've had it ever since I was born."

The blue haired boy took off his own shirt and turned to show Akashi his own tally mark, "It's weird because I have one just like it."

The redhead's face lit up with happiness, "Kuroko-sensei! That's too cool! It's fate! We have to get another one right beside it!"

Kuroko tried not to push the limits of the mental state of a 5 year old but he asked, "Sure, we can do that. But why?"

Akashi frowned and thought about it, "Why? Hmm, something tells me that we have to!"

So the promise we made passes through lives. The want to be together is still there. Kuroko thought to himself and smiled.

The next day, Akashi defied his parents' orders and got a tattoo right beside the first one. Kuroko did the same. Though only one remembered everything, they both seemed happy. As the days passed, Akashi and Kuroko grew closer and closer. Their relationship as caretaker and student turned into best friends. Then their relationship as best friends turned into an innocent love. Akashi would give Kuroko little kisses on the cheek when he arrived at the daycare and when he left while Kuroko would give Akashi kisses on the forehead when he did something right.

When the daycare went on a field trip to the city, Kuroko held Akashi's hand tightly, not wanting to lose him in the crowd. Momoi and Riko took care of the other children and they all walked down the street together.

The redhead's hand slipped from Kuroko's grasp and Akashi was pushed onto the road by the mounds of people. The blue haired boy's eyes were filled with horror as he saw a large truck approaching Akashi. Kuroko ran out into the road and embraced Akashi. Before they were hit, the blue haired boy let his tears stream down his face, not wanting to lose the redhead. Who knew how long it would take for them to meet again?

Right before they died, Akashi's eyes widened in recognition and he whispered in his caretaker's ear,

"I remember."
