"Tetsuya, that's dangerous. Get down from there." The redhead said softly as he lifted the small child off of the playground.
"But Sei-kun, I like climbing higher and higher and higher!" Kuroko struggled against the redhead's embrace as tears welled up in his eyes when they moved away from the playground.
The blue haired boy let out a small sniffle and muttered, "I hate you, Sei-kun. You never let me have fun."
However, when Akashi carried the child back home while brushing his fingers through his hair, Kuroko fell right asleep without any complaints. The redhead sighed as he felt the blue haired boy snuggle closer into his embrace.
"You have to be careful Tetsuya..." The redhead said while staring up at the open sky, "I can't lose you before you regain your memories."
Akashi dropped the blue haired boy off to his parents (who was right across the street from his house) and then rushed home to study. The redhead babysat Kuroko often since the child was only six and Akashi was finally turning seventeen. The blue haired boy's parents were often busy and didn't have time for Kuroko. The redhead was more than happy to take care of the younger but he was really worried that the blue haired boy would grow up feeling neglected by his own parents.
Akashi's parents helped out a lot and made sure the blue haired boy was cheerful and smiling but sometimes it was hard to please the child.
When Kuroko stayed for the whole day, the redhead's mother would take care of him until Akashi got home from school and then the redhead would take over from there. They played games together, most of the time it was hide and seek. Then Akashi would read him stories and then he would put Kuroko to bed at eight in the evening.
The redhead would lie beside the blue haired boy and pat his chest lightly to imitate the beating of a heart. Kuroko was quickly lulled to sleep and then Akashi was free to study and do his homework for the rest of the night.
When the redhead graduated, he moved away for university and came back on special occasions. The blue haired boy missed him often and struggled to keep a smile on his face.
Kuroko came home from school one day and began to cross the street without looking both ways. But before he even took a step onto the road, someone grabbed his wrist and dragged him back onto the sidewalk.
"You dumb? That's dangerous you little shit." A deep voice said strictly.
Kuroko turned his head and glanced up to see the familiar red hair.
"Sei-kun, you're back from university!" The blue haired boy exclaimed.
Kuroko was now fourteen which put the redhead at the beautiful age of twenty five. The blue haired boy frowned at how old Akashi was getting and how he would never be able to catch up.
Akashi smiled as he walked with the blue haired boy back home. Kuroko talked forever. He told the redhead about everything and Akashi simply listened carefully while constantly making a noise to show that he was listening.
It wasn't long until Akashi left again. Kuroko felt his heart fall to his stomach when he woke up only to hear that the redhead had left without even saying goodbye.
Years later, it was when Kuroko was pinned against a wall by another man that Akashi showed up again. The blue haired boy cried out when he felt the drunk stranger kiss his neck in lust.
"P-please stop..." Kuroko whimpered as he pushed against the man.
The weight was lifted off of him and he saw a red haired man toss the drunk to the ground and punch him.
"Get your filthy hands off of him and scram." Akashi's familiar voice spat out.
When the man left, Kuroko felt the strength leave his legs as he slumped forward into the redhead's arms.
"Sei-kun, how do you manage to save me whenever I'm in danger?" The blue haired boy mumbled as Akashi walked with him.
Akashi was twenty nine now, which made Kuroko eighteen. The redhead was ready to send the blue haired boy home but Kuroko insisted on staying over at Akashi's new apartment.
The redhead sighed, "You're a brat, you know that?"
Kuroko laughed, "Yup!"
They slept side by side that night. The blue haired boy was snuggled into Akashi's chest and the redhead protectively wrapped his arms around Kuroko's waist.
The blue haired boy remembered everything after spending the night glued to Akashi's side and once they got their tattoos, they decided to keep their relationship a secret from their parents for as long as possible.
They had a great amount of distance between them for a long time until Kuroko finally decided to move in with Akashi.
Kuroko passed away after many years of being happily married to the redhead.
Akashi remained a little while longer and he continued to save people from danger as he lifted their adopted daughter off the playground and scolded her for not being careful.
