This chapter is rated M. There will be a verbal warning at the beginning and end of the explicit scene. Please feel free to skip the portion within the warnings, the story will still make sense!

"Hey Kurokocchi!" The blond called out.

"Kise-kun, you're late." Kuroko said with a slight frown.

"I'm sorry! This is the last time I'll be late, okay?"

"Okay. Now you should get to work so I can leave."

Kise nodded and then got ready for work. They worked at a convenience store as a part time job. Kuroko was twenty-three years old and was busy in the morning with his lectures so he worked the evening shift which ran from 5-9pm. Then Kise and his shift partner would take over for the night shift at 9 in the evening to 5 in the morning. Kuroko didn't understand how his blond friend managed to stay awake but he did so almost every night. The blue haired boy packed his things and left as Kise got to work. Kuroko had never seen his coworker Akashi, but the blond always said that the redhead was mean and intimidating but otherwise very wise and gentle.

When the blue haired boy got home, he snuggled up on his bed with his university textbooks and did his homework until he fell asleep.

The next day, Kise came in and kneeled down before Kuroko.

"Kise-kun…what do you want?" The blue haired boy asked.

"Kurokocchi! Please! Please take over the night shift for me. Just for a few days!" Kise begged.

Kuroko pursed his lips, preferably he didn't want to be anywhere the night shift, but he said, "If I knew the reason why then I might be more willing to take the night shift."

The blond said, "Aominecchi finally has a few days off and we really want to spend time together since we never actually go on dates. Please….Just until Sunday. I'd be taking your shift if you take mine."

Kise-kun…today's Monday….that's a whole week, not a few days.. Is what Kuroko wanted to say but instead he nodded and said, "Okay. Have fun on your dates, but you owe me now."

The blond hugged the small blue haired boy and said, "Thank you! Oh…I should introduce you to Akashicchi too."

Kuroko's interest suddenly peaked when he heard the redhead's name. the blue haired boy never saw Akashi so he was dying to see him for the first time. Judging by the amount of stories Kise had about Akashi, he must be an interesting man. Kise looked at his watch and muttered, "He should be here soon. He always arrives at 9:30pm on the dot. If you want to stay and meet him then you can. Aominecchi's days off start tomorrow so you can meet Akashicchi, say hi or something and then go home and come back tomorrow at nine in the evening."

"Okay." Kuroko watched the clock and Kise was right when he said that Akashi arrived exactly at 9:30. The redhead walked in wearing a winter jacket to escape the ice cold snow outside.

"Hey, Ryouta." He mumbled.

"Oh, Akashicchi! This is Kurokocchi, the guy I've been telling you about who has the shift before ours. He's going to take this shift for about a week." The blond explained.

"Hm. Alright, Kuroko…?"

"Tetsuya. My name is Kuroko Tetsuya." The blue haired boy introduced himself.

"And I'm Akashi Seijuro. It's nice to meet you."

"Akashi…senpai?" Kuroko said as if he was testing out the redhead's name.

The redhead chuckled, "You don't have to add the 'senpai'."

"But you are my senpai, so I should call you Akashi-senpai." The blue haired boy said.

Akashi leaned forward and smiled, "Whatever you want, Tetsuya."

Kuroko felt his heart clench as he watched the redhead walk to the staff room and take off his jacket. The blue haired boy left and then went to do his piles of assignments waiting for him in his room. The next day, Kuroko went out to the convenience store at nine in the evening and took over Kise's shift. The blond thanked Kuroko about one thousand times before leaving with Aomine. The blue haired boy waited patiently and when the clock showed 9:15, Akashi walked into the store.

"You're early senpai. Kise-kun said you usually arrive at nine thirty." Kuroko said.

"That's only because it's thirty minutes less of having to listen to him talk on and on. You seem like a normal person." Akashi said with a small smile.

For some reason, the blue haired boy felt breathless while looking at the other's smile but he quickly snapped out of his daze and continued his work. When Akashi took over the cash register, the blue haired boy caught up with his mathematics lectures in the break room. It was three in the morning and Kuroko was feeling tired, especially since he still had to go to the university later in the morning. The blue haired boy rested his head on the table with his pencil in his hand and sighed. Akashi walked into the room and said,

"You're going to catch a cold like that."

The redhead draped his jacket over Kuroko's shoulders and said, "You can go to sleep. I'll take care of the store. It's not too busy during this time anyway."

The blue haired boy's felt his face flush, "S-senpai! I can't let you do all the work by yourself."

The redhead just chuckled, "It's alright. You can sleep."

Akashi didn't seem to be the right person to argue with so Kuroko simply thanked him and tried to sleep. The blue haired boy woke up and saw Akashi sitting in front of him, sipping some coffee.

"Senpai…what time is it?' Kuroko asked while rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"It's almost five. Our shift will be over soon. What time do you have to get to the university?" Akashi asked.

The blue haired boy felt exhausted and he said, "Uh…I should be there by six."

The redhead raised an eyebrow and said, "You're going to overwork yourself at this rate and you haven't even gotten past the first day."

When the shift was passed to Midorima, Kuroko took the train home and quickly cleaned up before going to school. The blue haired boy tried his best to stay awake during his classes and then when he got home, he went to sleep. His alarm clock woke him up at eight in the evening and the blue haired boy made his way to work.

Kuroko was more than surprised to see Akashi already there before him.

"Ah, Tetsuya. Hello."

"Akashi-senpai…You're here earlier than yesterday." The blue haired boy remarked.

Akashi smiled and then took the cash register shift first while Kuroko swept the store. The blue haired boy held a book in one hand and the broom in the other. He had to finish reading the book by tomorrow so he could start a book report. Kuroko flipped the pages with his thumb and continued to sweep at the same time. The blue haired boy didn't even notice Akashi watching him intently. At least, he didn't notice it until the blue haired boy slipped.

Kuroko stumbled but not a second later, he felt Akashi's arms around him to help him.

"Be careful." The redhead muttered and then let him go.

Kuroko's heart was racing. A part of him wanted to be closer to his new coworker. When Kuroko got home that day, his mind kept drifting off and daydreaming about Akashi. The blue haired boy never really had time to think about romantic relationships, he wasn't even sure if he knew what crushing on someone felt like. Kuroko eventually convinced himself that maybe he was just uncomfortable with the redhead, but Kuroko also found himself secretly hoping for Akashi to touch him again. Whether it was a hand on his shoulder, his arms holding him up; Kuroko didn't care. He just wanted Akashi's hand to light a fire in his body.

The next day, the blue haired boy walked into the convenience store and said, "Good evening, senpai."

Akashi smiled and said, "Hello Tetsuya, how's school?"

"Tiring" Kuroko said while taking off his jacket. The snow just continued to pile up outside so everyone was bundling up into their winter jackets and boots.

"It wouldn't be so tiring if you slept a bit." Akashi said with a slight frown.

The blue haired boy gave a weak smile; it was true that his body was feeling the effects of not getting enough rest, but he wasn't about to admit it.

"I'm fine, Akashi-senpai." Kuroko muttered and then got to work.

During his breaks, the blue haired boy worked on his assignments and when he was working at the register, he was reading his book for the book report. Kuroko barely slept and two days later, he collapsed.

The blue haired boy walked into the convenience store and 9:30 and he was out of breath.

"Tetsuya, you're late." Akashi muttered jokingly.

"I'm sorry, senpai." The blue haired boy said.

Kuroko made his way to the staff room, his vision was getting blurry. Akashi followed the blue haired boy to the staff room. When Kuroko entered the staff room, his knees buckled and he collapsed. Akashi caught him by the arm and pulled the blue haired boy up.

"Tetsuya, you need sleep…like now, and probably some food. You look like you're running a fever."

Kuroko shook his head, "I'm fine, senpai."

The redhead stared at the blue haired boy's tired face, "Don't even try to lie with the way you look. Also, it's wrong to lie to your senpai. You're already not that physically strong, who do you think you're fooling?"

Akashi cleared the things off of the table in the staff room and gently sat Kuroko down. The redhead made a quick phone call to Murasakibara to take his shift and then waited for the purple haired boy's arrival. When Murasakibara arrived, Akashi thanked him and immediately left with Kuroko in his arms. The redhead gently placed the blue haired boy on his bed and then went to get a cold cloth to press to Kuroko's forehead.

The blue haired boy didn't stir in his sleep. He was completely still and relaxed. Akashi made sure to check Kuroko's temperature to see if it was going down. After a while, when the redhead believed the blue haired boy would be fine, he went to cook a meal for when Kuroko woke up.

When the blue haired boy opened his eyes, the first thing he noticed was that he had no clue where he was. Kuroko eyed the baggy shirt on him which embarrassingly looked more like a short dress. Instantly, Kuroko was able to tell it was Akashi's by the scent. When the blue haired boy looked around the room, he noticed that he wasn't in his house either. Kuroko mumbled when he heard the door to the room open,

"Senpai…?"

"Ah Tetsuya, you're awake? Good, I brought you some soup." Akashi said with a smile.

"Senpai…what time?" The blue haired boy asked, still feeling fatigued.

The redhead slowly peeled the damp cloth off of Kuroko's forehead and said, "Eleven thirty at night. You still need more rest."

The blue haired boy felt Akashi's warm hand over his forehead and the redhead said, "Good. Your fever went down. Try and get some sleep."

Kuroko looked at Akashi and whispered, "Senpai…I'm sorry. I'm really sorry about this."

The redhead pulled the blanket over Kuroko's shoulders and gave a small smile, "It's alright. This is no trouble at all. In fact, I'm sorry that I had to bring you to my apartment, I'm sure it's a little uncomfortable considering we barely know each other."

Akashi stood up and was about to leave when the blue haired boy spoke up, "Senpai?"

The redhead turned and asked, "What is it?"

"Can…can you stay beside me?" Kuroko asked shyly.

Akashi smiled and said, "Just give me a minute to clean up."

When the redhead came back, he crawled under the covers beside Kuroko and lulled him to sleep. The blue haired boy felt so exhausted, his body felt heavy but at the same time, it was as if he couldn't feel his limbs at all. Kuroko closed his eyes and immediately fell asleep. When the blue haired boy woke up in the middle of the night, he noticed that he was cuddling against Akashi's chest.

The redhead's heartbeat was loud and comforting; almost familiar. Kuroko was able to feel Akashi's arms around him to keep him warm and his face was nuzzled into Kuroko's hair.

The blue haired boy felt his body heat up.

Kuroko did his best to calm down but nothing was working when he was able to feel the redhead's hot breath over him. The blue haired boy's body was tense and still burning up. His heart began to race and his breathing became uneven. Kuroko gripped his shirt that was heavy with Akashi's scent and swallowed thickly. He prayed that the redhead wouldn't wake up. Unfortunately, his prayers weren't heard when he heard Akashi's voice break the silence.

"Tetsuya…are you alright? Oh...Calm down, don't worry. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"S-senpai! I'm…I…I'm sorry." The blue haired boy stuttered, feeling completely embarrassed with himself. Kuroko recoiled onto himself as if turning into a ball would make him invisible.

Akashi lightly rubbed Kuroko's back, "It's alright. You don't have to apologize over it or feel embarrassed. Just means you're a healthy boy with completely normal sexual urges. Do you...mm how do I ask this, do you want help?"

"Ah…! Yes, no! I don't-" The blue haired boy stopped mid-sentence when he felt Akashi's leg spread his legs apart. Kuroko let out a small moan, "Senpai…senpai..!"

"Tetsuya, it's okay to want this. Tell me if you want to stop." The redhead's voice was low and tickled against Kuroko's ear.

The blue haired boy was only able to watch as Akashi's hands worked their way under the long shirt which barely covered his legs. Kuroko felt scared by how much he wanted this, how much he wanted his coworker, how much he felt his heart being pulled deeper into his red eyes. The blue haired boy pushed Akashi away and mumbled,

"I…don't want it like this."

The redhead took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry. You can take a shower. Down the hall, first right. I'll bring clean clothes for you to wear."

Kuroko ran off and sat in the shower after relieving himself. When he finished his shower, the blue haired boy went back to Akashi's room and noticed that the redhead wasn't there.

"Akashi-senpai?" Kuroko called out.

Akashi entered the room with a new set of clothing and noticed the blue haired boy was in a small panic.

Childhood trauma, maybe? The redhead thought to himself, maybe he lost someone important?

When the blue haired boy saw Akashi, he visibly relaxed and said, "I thought I lost you again."

"Again?"

Kuroko blinked a couple of times, confused, "Ah...I must have misspoken."

"You must be tired still. How about we go to sleep?" The redhead said as they both curled up on the bed once again.

"Won't your parents get worried if you stay here?" Akashi asked while staring up at the ceiling.

The blue haired boy shook his head, "I live alone. My parents aren't in the country often."

"Mm, pardon me if this is prying too much. You just seemed pretty panicked when you saw I wasn't in the room. Are you afraid that I'll leave you?

Kuroko gave a slight nod and smiled a bit, "Yeah…There's that but there's also something about you that feels strangely familiar. It kinda feels like you've left me before. Sorry, maybe I'm just hallucinating."

After a few minutes, they both fell asleep.

The next day, Kuroko skipped school and spent his time resting at Akashi's place. They went to work together and the redhead made sure that Kuroko got some sleep.

As the week progressed, the blue haired boy and Akashi grew closer and they wanted to be more. They wanted a relationship. But no matter how much they both wanted each other, Kuroko felt wary around his coworker. Every time Akashi tried to get closer, the blue haired boy would flinch away and say something like, "Senpai, what are you doing?"

Once the week was over, Kise came back.

"Kurokocchi! Thank you so much! Oh boy…you look really tired. I'm so sorry. I hope Akashicchi wasn't too hard on you. I can take the shift back now. You need to focus more on school." The blonde said all in one breath.

"Kise-kun…you need to learn how to take breaks in between your sentences." Kuroko said. The blue haired boy felt a heavy pit in his stomach when he heard Kise mention that he would take the night shift back.

When Kuroko got home, he thought to himself, I never said goodbye to Akashi-senpai…but it's not like we'll never see each other again.

The next day when Akashi went to work, he noticed that the blue haired boy was nowhere to be found and instead, he heard a very familiar, loud voice call out his name in an annoying way.

"Akashicchi! I missed you!" Kise exclaimed as he ran towards the redhead.

Akashi ignored the blond's return and immediately asked, "Where's Tetsuya?"

"I took the night shift back." Ksie said and then he noticed how disappointment fell over Akashi's expression.

"I see…" The redhead muttered and then got to work.

Kise found that Akashi was more harsh and cold towards him than usual and he figured it was because of Kuroko's absence. The blond may not be the smartest but he had an eye for certain things. It was obvious to Kise that Akashi had fallen hard for Kuroko. After a few days, Kise devised a plan to get his two friends together.

Kise made sure to go to work early the next day so he would meet the blue haired boy. The blond moved to the staff room and took Kuroko's cellphone from his bag. When the blue haired boy's shift was over, he left into the winter chill to get home.

Akashi arrived on time and the blonde lead him towards one of the supply closets.

"Akashicchi, can you grab a broom for me?" Kise asked sweetly as he watched the redhead put his jacket, wallet and cellphone on the table. Akashi grunted in response and moved towards the supply closet.

When the redhead opened the door, he noticed there wasn't a broom in the closet. Before he could react, Kise pushed Akashi into the closet and jammed the broom into the door handle to keep it shut.

"Ryouta! I'm going to kill you! Open this door right now!" The redhead yelled while banging on the door.

By the time this happened, Kuroko noticed that his cellphone was missing and he went back to the convenience store to look for it.

"Kise-kun, have you seen my cellphone?" The blue haired boy asked when he entered the store, but it was deserted and he got no reply back.

"Hello…?" Kuroko called out as he walked to the staff room. The blue haired boy was able to hear muffled screaming from the closet and he quickly moved towards it.

"Akashi-senpai?" Kuroko asked as he placed his hand on the broom.

"Tetsuya, open the door for me!" The redhead exclaimed.

The blue haired boy said, "Stop pushing on the door so I can get the broom unstuck."

When Akashi stopped moving, Kuroko opened the door. The blond was ready for this and he quickly pushed the blue haired boy into the closet as well.

Kuroko yelped as he fell on top of Akashi and the closet door closed behind them.

"I'll let you guys out later! Have fun!" Kise said in his sing song voice.

"Ryouta!" Akashi yelled as he kicked the door.

The redhead's arms were wrapped around Kuroko's waist to keep him steady and the blue haired boy squirmed at the uncomfortable position.

"Akashi-senpai, can you let go of me?" Kuroko asked.

The redhead quickly let go and muttered, "Sorry."

The sat face to face in the small, cramped closet in silence. There was barely enough space for their legs and they just ended up getting tangled together. At first, both of them moved around a lot to try and get comfortable, but they noticed they were making the temperature rise in the closet very fast.

"Tetsuya….why'd you come back?" Akashi asked.

"I misplaced my cellphone. Do you have your cellphone? Because then we can call Murasakibara-kun or something."

"Yeah, I have my cellphone," Akashi started, "it's on...the staff room table. God damn, Ryouta! He planned everything."

Kuroko sighed, "This is fine. Kise-kun will have to let us out at some point."

They sat for what seemed like an hour, but was actually only a few minutes, and then Akashi started unbuttoning his shirt.

"S-senpai…what are you doing?!" Kuroko exclaimed.

The redhead threw the shirt to the corner of the closet and said, "It's getting hot in here. Might as well just get more comfortable."

Kuroko couldn't help but stare and then the redhead said, "It'll help you cool down, I promise."

The blue haired boy shook his head and muttered, "I'm fine."

Akashi smiled and decided to tease the blue haired boy a bit, "Tetsuya, come here."

Kuroko shuffled a bit closer, unable to resist the other's request. The redhead grabbed the blue haired boy by the wrist and asked, "Need help?"

Maybe it was something about the dark closet, but Kuroko felt more bold than usual. The blue haired boy lifted his hand to cup Akashi's cheek and whispered, "Maybe I do."

Akashi's hands were on the buttons of Kuroko's shirt in the next second. The blue haired boy felt like he couldn't breathe as the closet got more stuffy.

When the thin cloth of Kuroko's shirt slipped off of his shoulders, the blue haired boy shivered at the feeling of Akashi's fingers brushing lightly against his skin. Akashi hesitated and rested his head against Kuroko's shoulder.

"Tell me to stop, like you always do. Push me away." Akashi said while planting a small kiss on the blue haired boy's collarbone. "You never seem to mind when Ryouta hugs you. But you always push me away."

"Senpai, you can hug me too..." Kuroko mumbled, "I don't want to tell you to stop; I don't want to push you away."

Akashi blushed as he let his fingers trail up and down Kuroko's arms, "Every time I move one step towards you, you take two steps back."

"That's only because I…!" Kuroko stopped himself and he quickly looked away from Akashi.

The redhead raised an eyebrow and asked, "Because you?"

"That's only because I like you." The blue haired boy said.

Akashi tugged Kuroko towards him until the blue haired boy sat on Akashi's lap. The redhead's arms wrapped around Kuroko's waist to firmly hold him. Everywhere their skin touched burned like a fire, but even so, the redhead felt maybe burning with Kuroko wasn't that bad.

After a while, Akashi cupped the blue haired boy's cheek and said, "Look at me and say that again."

When their eyes met, the blue haired boy was speechless. However, he managed to say what the redhead wanted to hear, "I like you, Akashi-senpai."

Akashi smiled and then pressed his lips against Kuroko's. Instead of pulling away the blue haired boy eagerly pressed back and wrapped his arms around the redhead's neck. Akashi's hands traveled up Kuroko's thighs and then they rested on his hips. The blue haired boy felt Akashi's hands travel into his pants and Kuroko moaned into the kiss. The redhead's tongue swept across every crevice of the blue haired boy's mouth and then made its way down Kuroko's neck. The closet became incredibly hot and their skin became slick with each other's sweat.

Warning! This is the beginning of the explicit scene. Feel free to skip!

The blue haired boy pulled away slightly to speak and he whispered, "Not here."

"Yes here." Akashi muttered against Kuroko's lips as his fingertips dragged through his blue hair.

Kuroko hummed at the feeling and he mumbled, "Seriously though. We can't do it in a closet."

"Well, who said we can't? I mean, we have enough space." Akashi tried to convince the blue haired boy.

Kuroko blushed and said, "Kise-kun might hear us."

"I'm sure he's wearing headphones. But, we really need to take care of our problems." Akashi said while motioned downwards.

The blue haired boy blushed, "Yeah…We should do something about that."

The redhead grinned and then he slid Kuroko's pants down.

"Senpai…?"

Akashi slowly massaged the blue haired boy's growing erection and then whispered, "I want you do it yourself."

"Do what?" Kuroko asked as he leaned into Akashi's touch.

"Touch yourself here while I watch you."

If he was able to, the blue haired boy's face would've turned even more red and he exclaimed, "There's no way I can do something like that!"

Akashi grabbed the blue haired boy's hand and guided it down to his cock, "It's not that hard, Tetsuya. Just move your hand here and make yourself feel good."

Kuroko was panting hard as he touched himself and then he reminded himself that Akashi was watching every move. A moan escaped his lips as he continued. Precum beaded the top of his cock and slowly trickled down his hands when he pumped faster. Akashi leaned back and watched Kuroko pleasure himself on his lap. The redhead watched as the blue haired boy unraveled right in front of him.

Kuroko cried out softly, "Akashi-senpai!"

The redhead licked his lips and moved forward so that Kuroko's back hit the ground.

Akashi put their shirts underneath the blue haired boy to make him feel more comfortable and then his hands started touching Kuroko all over. When Akashi rubbed the blue haired boy's nipple, Kuroko arched his back and begged for more.

"Senpai…senpai!"

The redhead let out a slight growl as he bit Kuroko's neck. Their bodies melded together and breathing became more difficult in the tight space. The blue haired boy daringly grabbed Akashi's fingers and began sucking on them. The redhead was surprised but he watched as Kuroko coated his fingers with saliva.

"Senpai, please take me." The blue haired boy said as he pushed his hips into Akashi's.

"I thought you were worried about Ryouta hearing." The redhead said with a smile.

"Who cares," The blue haired boy groaned, "he's the one who put us here. I want you."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, senpai. I'm sure. I want you." Kuroko said in a serious tone and then he threw his head back when he felt Akashi's finger circle his entrance and slowly penetrate him. The blue haired boy felt uncomfortable when the second finger entered him and a little bit of pain when the third finger entered him, but he was able to get through it. Akashi's fingers reached deep inside of the blue haired boy and when they rubbed against his prostate, Kuroko let out a startled moan.

"Oh? Does it feel good here, Tetsuya?" Akashi asked as he rubbed the same spot over and over again.

"Ah, senpai! There…is too much." Kuroko said as he moved his hips to take the redhead's fingers deeper.

Akashi quickly pulled his fingers out and softly kissed the blue haired boy, "You're going to have to get on top of me. It's too cramped in his closet."

"That's a little...embarrassing." Kuroko muttered.

The redhead pulled Kuroko onto his lap and said, "Whenever you're ready."

The blue haired boy's eyes glazed over in lust as he slowly took Akashi in.

"Hah…A-Akashi-senpai.."

"Tetsuya, you're tight." The redhead groaned as he held Kuroko's hips.

"Kise-kun is going to hear you." The blue haired boy muttered and then he attacked Akashi's lips. The redhead kissed back and then he thrust upwards.

Kuroko broke away from the kiss and let out a yelp, "Wait…!"

"No more waiting. God, I want you so bad." The redhead said as he began a steady pace.

The blue haired boy couldn't hold back his moans as he bounced on Akashi's lap.

"Senpai…M-ah! More!" Kuroko said as he scratched the redhead's back and sheer pleasure.

The blue haired boy met Akashi's thrusts halfway to force him deeper and then Kuroko let out a silent scream when the redhead struck his prostate. Akashi smiled and began to thrust faster. The sound of their skin slapping together resonated through the closet and all the way to Kise. The blond blushed awkwardly at the cash register and thanked God that rarely anyone walked into the store during the night shift.

Akashi eyed Kuroko's neglected cock and brought down his hand to stroke the other.

"Mm…Senpai, senpai, senpai. Akashi-senpai! I love you, I love you so much." The blue haired boy chanted. Kuroko couldn't control anything and he just melted into the redhead's hands.

Kuroko's orgasm ripped through him like a wave crashing down on the shore. He arched his back and moaned loudly, not even caring whether anyone in the convenience store could hear him.

His cum covered their stomachs and the blue haired boy rested his forehead on Akashi's shoulder to come down from his high. The redhead came on Kuroko's stomach a few moments later. Akashi held the other tightly and left kisses on the blue haired boy's chest.

The closet seemed like it was in an oven; both of them were panting hard as they tried to catch their breath.

Warning! This is the end of the explicit scene.

"Senpai, do you think Kise-kun heard all of that?" Kuroko asked as he nuzzled his face into Akashi's neck.

The closet door swung open and the blond's face was bright red as he yelled, "Get dressed and get out!"

Akashi chuckled when Kise stormed off, "I think he heard everything."

When Kuroko and the redhead cleaned their mess, they walked to Akashi's apartment. Before they entered, the redhead said, "I forgot to say this before since Ryouta interrupted, but I love you too."

Kuroko and Akashi felt their memories return and they stared at each other for a moment. The blue haired boy laughed a bit and said, "This is a rather normal life, isn't it ducky?"

"Definitely. I like it, it's very calm compared to some of the previous lives that we've had."

Kuroko pushed Akashi into the apartment and said, "I don't think Kise-kun will be able to look at us with a straight face again."

The redhead chuckled and then lightly kissed Kuroko.

The blue haired boy worked the night shift with Akashi after getting their 27th tattoo and Kise refused to believe that he had heard them having sex. The blond just pretended altogether that it had never happened.

For years, Kuroko and Akashi worked together in the small convenience store and they spent every hour together. Eventually, they moved on to search for other jobs.

They watched each other's backs and always wondered what would happen once one hundred lifetimes were over, but they knew they would find out eventually.

Kuroko passed away first, but Akashi passed away shortly after.
