Warnings: Implied masturbation
They didn't even know each other. But they met after that certain incident.
Akashi Seijuro was a wealthy man who worked a little too much and was completely miserable with his life. Day in and day out he lived comfortably with no need to lift a finger as his maids would do everything for him. The redhead was an arrogant yet clever man and though he was upset with how his life turned out, he still had the job of keeping his company running for his family.
Kuroko Tetsuya was just as wealthy. Or at least his family was just as wealthy. The blue haired boy himself never saw a dime of his parents' fortune. He lived comfortably with the help of multiple maids and also lived up to parents' expectations. Except he felt miserable with his life as well. He worked every day and most likely every day for the rest of his life in that company which his father created.
The Akashi and Kuroko companies hated each other. More specifically, their parents hated each other. Kuroko and Akashi didn't even know the other existed nor did they really care. The two boys just wanted something different. Their parents used Akashi and Kuroko as the bridge between their companies. In most meetings, Kuroko would walk to the redhead's company to show them negotiations and sometimes Akashi would do the same. They crossed each other often yet didn't even spare a glance.
After a long hard day of work, Kuroko plopped down onto his bed and let out a heavy sigh.
"I wish..." The blue haired boy started but then shook his head as if to shake the thoughts out and turned onto his side. He stared at the wall and then with a more determined voice he said, "I wish to find my true love who will take me away from my miserable life."
In a similar way, on that same day, Akashi sat at his desk, slumped into the chair and groaned in exhaustion. He looked up at his ceiling and whispered, "I wish..." Only to stop short and shake his head, knowing there would be no point in wishing. But even so, he shrugged, knowing he had nothing to lose, "I wish to escape this life and find my happiness."
Both of them went to sleep early as they knew the next day would be just as tiring as the ones before. They knew wishing for something was pointless but there was one who heard them both.
A blond boy sat on a roof, his legs dangling off of the edge and he grinned, then whispered into the night sky,
"Your wish is my command."
The next morning, Akashi and Kuroko got ready just as usual. Each morning started with a shower, breakfast, change of clothes, slight care for appearance and then out the door they went. Being a middle aged man was supposed to be fun, but Akashi and Kuroko spent their lives hating every second.
When Kuroko got to his office, his father handed him a stack of paper, "Hand this to the Akashi family, we need to negotiate some things."
The blue haired boy simply nodded and left the building.
When Akashi got to his office, his father handed him an envelope and said, "Give this to the Kuroko family, there was some things we must discuss."
The redhead simply nodded as well and left the building.
Call it fate or destiny, but whenever Akashi and Kuroko went to hand papers to the other family, they crossed paths once at the train station. Though they walked by each other multiple times, they never noticed each other and the blond who watched over them wasn't going to allow that.
"Let me make your wishes come true." The blonde said with a flick of his wrist.
Akashi and Kuroko got off the train and when they crossed paths, they bumped into each other. They both fell to the ground and apologized to each other.
They had already changed.
When Kuroko went to grab his papers, he looked up and saw himself.
When Akashi met the other's gaze he saw himself.
The blue haired boy let out a yelp of surprise but realized it wasn't his voice. Kuroko slapped a hand over his mouth and stared at Akashi in his body.
Akashi quickly grabbed all the papers and dragged Kuroko, who was in Akashi's body, to the nearest washroom.
Akashi pushed the other into a stall and locked the door behind them.
"What's going on here? Is this some sort of trick?" Akashi demanded, making Kuroko's gentle voice sound foreign to the blue haired boy's ears.
Kuroko was still gaping in astonishment and he couldn't find any words.
"You're...Akashi Seijuro from the Akashi family, aren't you? Well, I guess now I'm Akashi Seijuro..." Kuroko muttered.
Akashi looked at the papers in his hand and noticed the name 'Kuroko Tetsuya',
"Ah, I see. You're Kuroko Tetsuya, or I'm Kuroko Tetsuya."
"Did we just switch bodies?" The former blue haired boy asked.
The former redhead shrugged, "That seems to be the case but I'm not sure how."
Kuroko trembled with fear, "How are we going to change back? What if we can't? How are we going to go to work? How are we going to live-"
The redhead slapped a hand over the blue haired boy's mouth to stop him from talking.
"Stop, you're making me anxious. Just let me think." Akashi said.
Kuroko reached over to his own body and brought out his cellphone from his jacket pocket. Understanding the idea, the redhead reached over and brought out his cellphone from his back pocket.
Though Kuroko knew he was in Akashi's body, when the redhead touched his backside he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
They both exchanged phone numbers and then went over how they should act and where to meet after work. They both decided to meet at a park to try and sort things out and before parting ways, they practiced acting like the other would act.
When Kuroko arrived to his family's company, now in Akashi's body, his parents greeted him with such enthusiasm and joy that it was hard to believe that the blue haired boy was talking with his parents. Kuroko shuddered slightly and thought,
Business is a scary thing. It requires so much acting.
The blue haired boy negotiated matters with his parents just as Akashi would. Afterwards, he went back to the Akashi company.
The redhead did the same with Kuroko's body. He made sure to get the job done and then went to the Kuroko company.
Akashi sent a quick text to his acquaintance,
My desk in on the third floor, all the way down the hall to the left.
Kuroko made his way to the desk and then sent a text back,
Mine's on the seventh floor and it's to the right of the elevator.
Both of then felt really uncomfortable with their new surroundings. They were also scared of ruining the other's reputation, knowing that they were both very powerful heirs. Most of all, they were worried someone might notice the change.
Nonetheless, their line of work was similar to each other so it wasn't hard to act normal.
After work, Akashi swiftly made his way to a park and saw Kuroko already sitting on a swing. The redhead had to admit, it was weird looking at himself and seeing his body sit on a swing like a child.
"How did work go as me?" Akashi asked as he took a seat in the swing beside the other.
The blue haired boy fidgeted and nervously played with his hair. "I uh... I might have accidentally dropped a stack of paper and then gotten yelled at. Sorry, Akashi-kun."
The redhead chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I accidentally ordered one of your coworkers to get me a coffee."
They both sat in silence for a while and then decided to move locations to test ways they could possibly switch back. They sat in a hotel room and then Akashi suggested,
"Well, we got into this mess by bumping into each other. Maybe if we bump into each other again, we'll change back."
"I doubt it's that simple..." Kuroko mumbled, "but it's worth a try."
And so, Akashi stood on one side of the hotel room and Kuroko stood at the other. They both walked across the room and lightly bumped their shoulders together. Unfortunately, they were still stuck in each other's body.
Over the next hour, they tried many things and then eventually Akashi suggested, "What if we kiss?"
Kuroko felt his face explode into a burst of pink. He had never really kissed anyone since he was so busy and he wasn't sure if he was ready for that.
"E-eh? What makes you think that will work?" The blue haired boy asked.
Akashi shrugged, "You know in those fairy tales where wishes come true and the couple kiss and their problems are solved? I figured it would be the same thing if we tried it now."
The blue haired boy gave a slight nod and then avoided Akashi's gaze.
The redhead chuckled, "A shy face really doesn't seem to suit me."
"A sly face doesn't seem to suit me either." Kuroko mumbled.
Akashi had to lean up because of the height difference between their bodies but when their lips touched, it was as if there was a shock between them. Akashi felt as though he had kissed a flame. When Kuroko pulled away first, nothing had changed. Even though they were disappointed with the fact they were still stuck in the other's body, they were still content with that kiss.
Kuroko sighed, "I guess we won't be able to figure out how to switch back."
They both sat side by side on the bed and both of them were struck with the same idea.
"Perhaps it could be by any chance...sex?" Akashi muttered.
Their faces were both red this time. Neither of them talked, afraid they would embarrass themselves. Kuroko responded slowly,
"Perhaps...however, I think it would be best if we resorted to that last."
The redhead nodded in agreement and then they both brainstormed more ideas. There wasn't much they were able to do.
Eventually, they both gave up and decided to simply lie down on the bed and relax.
There was a feeling in the air both of them couldn't describe. Just by lying down next to each other they felt joy. After a while, they stopped caring about switching their bodies and began to talk about each other's lives.
"Well," Kuroko said, "we both have miserable lives."
Akashi let out a small laugh, "Yeah, I guess it's just miserable because we never got to chase our dreams and we ended up stuck in the dream of our parents. But in the end we can't deny the fact that our lives are pretty good. I mean, we can buy anything, go anywhere..."
They both turned to face each other on the bed. When their eyes met, Kuroko was amazed at how his own eyes looked so different. It was like Akashi gave them a new light.
Without thinking why, the redhead leaned forward, his hand lightly cupping the other's face and gently pressed a kiss onto those lips.
How is it that when Kuroko's in my body, my lips feel this good? Akashi thought to himself as he continued to lace his fingers into the other's hair.
The blond, Kise, watched them with curiosity and then smiled, "I guess I'll let you guys off the hook for now."
And with a snap of his fingers, Kuroko and Akashi returned to their original bodies.
When Kuroko opened his eyes, he saw mismatched eyes staring back at him. The blue haired boy blinked in surprise and lightly touched Akashi's face.
"Akashi-kun?" He mumbled, relaxing at the sound of his own voice.
The redhead slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "Looks like we solved that problem. I'm not sure how but we did it."
"What if it happens again...?" Kuroko asked.
Akashi shrugged, "We can figure out when we get there I guess."
They lay side by side in an awkward silence for a while, constantly glancing at each other. They didn't know what to do any more. They barely knew each other and now that their problem had been magically solved for now, it simply felt weird to be in the other's presence.
Eventually, Kuroko spoke up, "I wonder why us."
"Hm?" Akashi questioned while turning to face the blue haired boy, "Why what?"
"Why of all people did we change bodies?" Kuroko mumbled.
The redhead laughed, "Who knows, maybe some god is trying to grant..." Akashi's voice grew to a whisper when he realized, "our wishes..."
The redhead sat up, "Did you by any chance wish for something last night?"
Kuroko stumbled over his words, feeling embarrassed with his wish, "Uh, y-yes. I do believe I did."
"So did I. I wished for some sort of escape from my horrible life and to find someone I love." The redhead said.
The blue haired boy said, "I pretty much asked for that exact wish."
Akashi smiled, "So that's why we were brought together! We're going to help each other find enjoyment in our lives."
"How though? We both have the same miserable life... I don't see how we're going to fix each other's."
The redhead gave a light smile and shrugged, "We'll just have to wait and see."
They began talking. They talked about anything. Their lives, their childhood, their dreams; anything and everything. They became pretty good friends by the end of the day and since they didn't want to waste money, they put the hotel room to good use.
While Akashi was in the shower, the blue haired boy sat on the bed with a towel over his dripping hair and watched TV. Kuroko spaced out and didn't hear the redhead walk out of the bathroom.
The blue haired boy flinched suddenly when he felt a hand rub the towel into his head,
"You're going to catch a cold if you don't properly dry off." Akashi muttered.
Kuroko turned his head to see the redhead bare torso and the blue haired boy had to admit that Akashi had some well-toned muscles. Even though the blue haired boy had spent nearly the whole day in Akashi's body, he never noticed how nicely sculpted his muscles were. Compared to the redhead, Kuroko was more slim, of course he had some muscle but it wasn't anything like the redhead.
While Kuroko spaced out, the redhead smirked and sat down behind the blue haired boy on the bed to dry his hair. As Akashi slowly rubbed the towel into his wet blue hair, Kuroko hummed in appreciation without realizing it.
Soon enough, the blue haired boy didn't seem so tense and he let himself slump back into Akashi's chest.
They enjoyed each other's company. A lot. They knew that there was some sort of bond between them that continuously pulled them together yet they were both hesitant to call it love.
It was the type of love that sparked in between two people that was like a small fire. Small enough to be extinguished when smothered, yet large enough to kindle and nurture. It was delicate and could die out if one of them made a wrong move, but it was definitely there.
Kuroko eventually dozed off in the redhead's arms and Akashi tucked him into the bed. The redhead stared at the blue haired boy and felt his own fatigue beginning to wear down on him so he cuddled up next to Kuroko and fell asleep as well.
The blue haired boy woke up first. His arm was wrapped around Akashi's waist while the other gripped his shirt tightly to keep him close. The redhead had one arm around Kuroko's waist and the other lightly around his head. Kuroko nuzzled back into the warmth, almost feeling like he was in a trance. But the nice moment didn't last long when the blue haired boy checked the time and realized he was late for work.
Kuroko quickly jumped out of the redhead's arms and started getting ready. Akashi grumbled awake when he felt the movement of Kuroko leaving the bed.
The redhead was about to ask why Kuroko was rushing so much but then Akashi looked at his watch and muttered, "Shit, we're late."
The two companies had a meeting together so Akashi and Kuroko just went together. When the meeting started, Kuroko and Akashi sat across from each other and announced any problems that were at hand or needed to be addressed. When they weren't talking, they constantly glanced at each other.
Akashi gave a small smile and Kuroko avoided his gaze most of the time. When the meeting ended, they all shook hands with each other. However, when Akashi tightly held the blue haired boy's hand, they switched once again.
Confusion spread across both of their faces and then they quickly played it off as if nothing changed. Of course it was uncomfortable to walk away from your own body, but they knew they could try to fix it later.
Akashi and Kuroko pretended to work as each other for the rest of the day while constantly texting each other and asking questions.
When they got "home", Kuroko quickly called the redhead.
"Why?!" He exclaimed while pacing back and forth. If anyone saw him, all they would've thought was that it was unusual for "Akashi Seijuro" to be so stressed.
Akashi sighed, "I don't know."
"How are we going to deal with this?" The blue haired boy worried.
The redhead simply couldn't think of a solution, "Maybe we'll switch back like last time. We obviously need to be physically touching for the switch to happen."
They both weren't able to handle it. Life was hard to live to begin with, having to worry about a second life was just stressing them out even more.
"Should we meet up?" Kuroko asked.
"No. It'll be strange for us to leave the house now. We might get scandals around our company." The redhead said, "Just stay where you are and we'll meet tomorrow at the same park."
"Okay..." The blue haired boy mumbled.
It really was hard for Kuroko. He knew he felt some sort of attraction to Akashi and being surrounded by his scent didn't help. It almost seemed to smell like vanilla milkshakes.
When he lay down on Akashi's bed, Kuroko breathed in the scent he loved and desired. Peeking over to the side of the room, he saw a full body mirror. When Kuroko stared at himself in the mirror, Akashi's well defined face was portrayed back to him.
Why am I stuck in this body...? The blue haired boy thought.
Kuroko continued to stare at himself in the mirror and then thought, I wonder...what Akashi's face would look like in sheer pleasure.
After a few more minutes of silently thinking to himself, Kuroko couldn't help but slip his fingers under the loose fabric of his sweatpants and underwear.
Though Kuroko knew masturbating in front of a mirror just to see Akashi's attractive face was wrong, little did he know Akashi was doing the same to his body.
The next day, they both headed off to work and texted each other their schedules. Akashi and Kuroko talked often throughout the day and when work was finally over, they ran towards the park.
Once seeing the other, Kuroko felt himself relax a bit. Akashi smiled and said,
"Shall we make our way back to that hotel so we can try some things?"
The blue haired boy felt himself blush as his mind traveled elsewhere at the thought of 'trying some things at a hotel'.
When they arrived at the hotel, they sat on the bed and pondered over what to do. Kuroko pushed down all his bubbling emotions and tried to be serious, knowing that the feeling of love most likely was never going to be returned.
Funny enough, Akashi was thinking the exact same thing. He wanted to be closer to Kuroko. He wanted to talk with him, walk with him, eat with him and even have sex with him. But the fear of being rejected kept his feelings at bay.
The blond god watched silently as the couple tried everything to switch their bodies. Kise smirked at their futile attempts and whispered,
"That's not going to earn your body back."
Eventually, they both took their showers and went to sleep. Kuroko nuzzled close to the redhead and Akashi's arms wrapped around the blue haired boy. When Kuroko thought the redhead was asleep, he cautiously mumbled,
"I love you."
Kise grinned and changed their bodies once again so they could live comfortably for a while.
The next morning, Kuroko woke up in his own body and so did Akashi. They smiled at each other.
"Good morning." Akashi whispered, his voice husky from just waking up.
The blue haired boy shivered slightly from the sound of the redhead's voice and because there was cold air seeping into the blankets.
"Are you cold?" Akashi asked.
Kuroko gave a slight nod and then he felt himself being pulled closer. Closer and closer until he felt his face right up against the redhead's chest. The blue haired boy gripped the redhead's shirt tightly, not knowing what to do.
Kuroko felt the heat rise all the way to his ears and to save himself from embarrassment, he buried his face into Akashi's chest.
The redhead blushed as well, his arms wrapped tightly around Kuroko's small body. Akashi couldn't help but lean into the blue hair in front of him and gently kiss Kuroko's forehead.
"I love you too." The redhead whispered. He felt more brave knowing that his feelings were returned.
Kuroko's eyes widened at the statement and he refused to look up.
Akashi chuckled lightly and pulled away from the blue haired boy to get a better look at his face.
"Hey...Tetsuya, will you go out with me?"
Before Kuroko could answer, the redhead leaned down and captured his lips.
So gentle... The blue haired boy thought as he slowly wrapped his arms around Akashi to bring him closer.
Kuroko let out a breath when the redhead moved over him to kiss his neck. Akashi let his forehead rest against the blue haired boy's shoulder and closed his eyes.
"Yes." Kuroko said.
All at once their memories returned to them. The blue haired boy held the redhead close and winced in pain. Akashi bit his tongue through the sharp stabs of pain at the back of his head. When they looked at each other again, the redhead smirked and said,
"Hi."
The blue haired boy laughed and slowly dragged his fingers through Akashi's hair, "Hi, Seijuro."
They eventually decided to simply fall asleep in each other's arms for today and then figure out their lives the next.
When morning came, they both went to get their tattoo and then also went to quit their jobs. Of course they're parents strongly disagreed but there wasn't much that was able to stop the couple.
Akashi and Kuroko decided to move to Switzerland this time. They both wanted to live once in every country in the world or at least visit every continent. They lived their lives to the fullest, enjoying every moment with each other. Of course sometimes their bodies were changed, mainly because Kise got bored from time to time. Akashi and Kuroko didn't mind though, in fact they took it as an opportunity to try new things.
After a full life time of living their lives, Akashi passed away first in a car accident. Then Kuroko passed away a few years later.
