Kuroko was now starting his first year in university and he was ready to let loose. During highschool, he was a strict rule-keeper, but he secretly wanted to go out to a party, kiss some boys, go dancing in a club, and much more. The opportunity to be impulsive finally presented itself when he decided to go to a university far from his hometown and boy, was he ready.

Before starting university, there was an orientation week which provided multiple events for students to get to know each other. Kuroko, unfortunately, didn't get to participate during this week because he was moving in a little late. When classes started, he made his first friend, Murasakibara Atsushi.

They were a strange pair. They didn't agree on some things but in the end there was a certain mutual respect that made them a good duo for studying. Kuroko and Murasakibara were sitting at a table together in one of the school buildings when two people approached them.

"Kurokocchi! Murasakibaracchi! Are you two busy?"

Kuroko looked up from his books, "Kise-kun, Aomine-kun, how are you? We're not too busy."

"Kise-chin, you're too loud." Murasakibara mumbled as he popped a chip into his mouth.

Aomine laughed, "We saw you two while walking by and figured we might as well invite you to this party happening tomorrow night."

Finally! Kuroko thought to himself, I've been waiting for this.

"That sounds fun but tiring," Murasakibara looked through his agenda, "I'm free tomorrow."

Kuroko nodded, "Me too. Where is it? What kind of party?"

"It's a freshman party so we'll all fit in," Kise said, "pretty sure Akashicchi and his roommates are the ones hosting."

The blue haired boy had no clue who this 'Akashicchi' was but a chance to party and relax was a chance sent from the heavens so he asked Kise to text him the details.

Kuroko was fidgeting through all his classes in anticipation for the party. There wasn't much he wanted to do, he simply wanted to be rebellious for once and do something without his parents hovering over his shoulder every second. Of course he still did his best to achieve good grades and keep up with his school work, but Kuroko really just wanted this night to himself.

When his classes ended for the day, he ran back to his dorm and got ready. He filtered through all his outfits and eventually just settled with white hoodie and black jeans. He threw on his sneakers and went to meet up with Kise, Aomine, and Murasakibara.

They walked together to a small house near the university campus. They heard the faint thumping of the bass from the loud music and saw multiple people dancing inside. It was absolutely ridiculous how they managed to fit so many people into such a small house. Kuroko and his friends squeezed into the house and went to search for the host, Akashi.

"Akashi!" Aomine called out as he approached a red haired man.

Kuroko felt his heart pound when his eyes fell upon Akashi. It was as if someone had speared him like a fish and threw him onto a fire to roast. In simpler terms, Kuroko wanted Akashi bad.

"Daiki, Ryouta, Atsushi, welcome! Make yourself at home, cups are in the kitchen, I bought as much alcohol as I could but if you guys want to get your own, you'll have to run to the store. One of my roommates is old enough to buy so he could always go grab some if you're still underage and you can pay him back." Akashi spoke quickly as if he had already repeated this twenty times to every guest before them.

"Ok ok Akashicchi," Kise interrupted, "nevermind that. This is Kurokocchi! The one we've been telling you about."

Kuroko panicked a little, they've been telling him about me? What kind of stuff have they been saying…?

Akashi's eyes raked over his body, he took him in piece by piece. It made Kuroko feel vulnerable and bare but he was also lowkey, very highkey, checking him out. Akashi smiled and extended his hand for a friendly handshake.

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

"Kuroko Tetsuya. It's nice to meet you too."

Their handshake lingered a bit too long. Murasakibara had already disappeared to go find himself a drink and a snack. It was Aomine who eventually broke the tension by slapping Kuroko on the back and saying,

"Stop being so serious! Shaking hands like an adult, gross. Tetsu, let's grab some drinks."

Kuroko nodded and turned towards the kitchen. Before leaving Akashi, the blue haired boy glanced over his shoulder to meet the other's gaze. He gave Akashi an irresistible smile and winked, "I'll see you around, Akashi-kun."

Aomine, Kise, and Kuroko proceeded to get hammered. They drank shot after shot, as much as their livers would allow. Murasakibara held back on the drinking to watch over his friends. He wasn't too big on drinking to begin with and he wanted to make sure his friends were safely having fun, so it wasn't bothersome for him. If anything, Murasakibara enjoyed watching his friends let loose and make complete fools of themselves. He spent most of his time snacking and recording his friends' shenanigans to show them the day after.

Kise and Aomine were already making out in the corner and Kuroko was dropping into a full split in Akashi's living room while dancing. The night continued in a wild and frantic manner, until eventually Kuroko collapsed on the couch. He wanted to keep going but he started to feel tired. He closed his eyes to rest for a couple of minutes when he felt someone grab his wrist.

Kuroko's eyes flew open, a confused expression on his face when he didn't recognize who grabbed him.

"Let me go." The blue haired boy said firmly.

The stranger leaned in close, he reeked of alcohol, "Come on. Let's take this somewhere else, I saw you dancing for me earlier."

Kuroko pushed the person who was now creeping on top of him, "I wasn't dancing for you or anybody. Get off and leave me alone."

It didn't seem like the stranger was going to let up any time soon. His hands roamed on Kuroko's hips and lifted his hoodie to reveal his abdomen. He pressed the blue haired boy down on the couch and whispered in his ear, "Oh? Do you want me to take you right here? You're dirty, aren't you?"

Kuroko's fists clenched, he was ready to knock the stranger's teeth in when Akashi pulled the man off of him.

"Hey, I won't tolerate this in my house. He said no and you're both drunk." The redhead said calmly.

"Who are you? Also he's my boyfriend, I can do whatever I want with him." The stranger tore himself away from Akashi's grip.

"Akashi Seijuro, the host. Even if he were your boyfriend, the meaning of 'no' doesn't change. Or is that too difficult for you to understand? I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

Despite the stranger's protests, Akashi manhandled him all the way to the door and kicked him out of the house. Murasakibara sat beside Kuroko on the couch with a glass of water and helped the drunken blue haired boy sit up.

"Are you alright, Kuroko?" Akashi asked with a polite smile.

"You didn't have to kick him out." Kuroko mumbled as he sipped on the glass of water that Murasakibara handed to him.

The redhead laughed, "I had a feeling we would be standing over a murder scene if I let him stay. You were ready to swing. If you want to sober up a little, you can come to the table and play card games."

"Sure," Kuroko staggered a little as he followed the other to the large table, "what are you guys playing?"

"We were about to play poker when that rude fellow tried to feel you up."

"Sounds fun, can I join? I bet I can beat you." The blue haired boy said with a grin. I think my poker skills are pretty good, it'd be fun to mess with him a little too.

Akashi mirrored Kuroko's mischievous grin, "Bring it on, Kuroko."

They sat at the table across from each other, a couple of other girls and boys sat at the table as well. The redhead rested his chin on his hands and smiled,

"Since this is a freshman party, how about we make it more interesting by playing strip poker? Every time you lose a round, you take off an article of clothing. Of course your underwear would be last."

Some of the participants shuffled in embarrassment at the proposal. In fact, many of them stood up and left to do something else. In the end, Kuroko was the only one who stayed.

"Don't come crying to me when you're sitting there naked." Kuroko said with a laugh. He still felt pretty drunk but he figured he'll sober up soon.

And so they sat at the table together. Kuroko had a great poker face, it was hard to read him despite being fairly out of it from the alcohol. At the end of the round, the blue haired boy slapped a three of a kind onto the table.

Akashi sighed as he revealed his two pairs, "Well, I guess that's one loss. What should I take off? You can choose."

Kuroko stared at Akashi, his eyes trailed a path from those bright red eyes down to his neck and chest.

"Take off your shirt."

Akashi made a show out of taking off his shirt. What could've been done in two seconds seemed to be dragged on to two hours. He dragged his hands down his chest before his fingers settled on the hem of his t-shirt. Kuroko swallowed hard in anticipation and watched as Akashi slowly lifted the t-shirt up.

His bare chest was on full display for Kuroko. Akashi moved his arms upwards to pull the shirt over his head.

His chest is fairly broad, Kuroko thought to himself, wow. If I wasn't sober before, I sure am sober now. You can see all his muscles. He's...fit, no that's an understatement. He's kind of ripped. I'm envious, it must have taken a lot of work to get a body like that.

Kuroko sobered up quickly. After seeing what he just saw, there was no way he would allow himself to lose. At least, he swore to himself that he wouldn't lose until Akashi was completely stripped bare.

It was getting really late into the evening. Many of the guests had already left. Aomine and Kise decided to crash on the couch and Murasakibara made a makeshift bed on the kitchen floor. Kuroko lost his pants in the second round but Akashi lost his pants and socks in the following rounds.

Kuroko laughed, "Akashi-kun, all that's left is your underwear."

"Don't get too full of yourself, I can still make a comeback."

"So what happens when I win and I strip you completely?" The blue haired boy asked innocently.

Akashi felt himself smile, he was completely entranced by Kuroko. He's clever, a little mischievous, ambitious, confident...God, he's sexy. I want him to be mine.

He got up and leaned across the table to whisper in Kuroko's ear, "If you win, maybe you can take me upstairs to my room?"

Kuroko felt the heat rise to his cheeks. He watched as Akashi sat back down in his seat and shuffled the cards.

"I'll hold you to that then." He said as he picked up his cards.

They continued to steal glances at each other as they laid down their cards on the table. Akashi won with a straight to Kuroko's two pairs.

"So?" Kuroko said as he gathered the cards and started shuffling them, "What piece of clothing should come off? My socks or my hoodie? Up to you."

"Oh, that hoodie needs to come off pronto." Akashi stood up and walked over to Kuroko's chair, "But don't move. I'll do it."

"Y-you...what?"

Akashi kneeled in between Kuroko's legs. His hands lightly brushed against his ankles before sliding up his bare thighs and resting on the soft material of his hoodie, "Is this ok?"

Kuroko watched in a daze, goosebumps rising on his skin wherever Akashi's fingers touched. He glanced down at the smirk plastered on Akashi's face. There was a heavy silence between them until Kuroko nodded and let out a breathless, "Yes."

Akashi planted a light kiss on his thigh and then started to push the fabric of the hoodie up, revealing more skin. Kuroko's hands dragged through Akashi's soft hair and grasped his shoulder as the redhead continued to kiss up his navel to his ribs.

"Akashi-kun…" Kuroko sighed, he gripped the other's shoulder tightly. Akashi grabbed Kuroko's hands gently and motioned for him to lift his arms. He continued his kisses from Kuroko's ribs further up his chest to his collarbone.

Once the hoodie was pulled off, Kuroko's hair stuck out in all directions from the static. Akashi chuckled and kissed his neck before pulling away.

"Shall we continue the game?" The redhead went back to his seat and observed the hot mess in front of him.

Kuroko calmed his racing heart, he felt warm despite just having his hoodie taken off. He watched as Akashi dealt the cards. When he was ready, they played another round.

"Shouldn't you fold, Akashi-kun?" The blue haired boy taunted with a smile.

"If I fold, that's admitting defeat and I'll have to strip completely."

Kuroko laughed, "You'll be stripping either way, you're just prolonging the process."

Akashi peeked at the cards in his hands, I can get a full house maybe...it could turn into a four of a kind depending on the next turn..he'd need a straight or royal flush to beat me.

Kuroko studied the redhead with a blank expression, he thinks he's going to win. How cute.

It was nearing 4 in the morning when they finished the final round. Kuroko won with a royal flush and stood up to celebrate his victory. Akashi took a deep breath, it wasn't like he was upset with losing. In fact, the main reason why he had invited Kuroko to play to begin with was so he could blatantly flirt with him. It was a win-win for both of them.

Akashi grabbed Kuroko's hand and walked up the stairs, he looked back at the blue haired boy and winked, "We're going to my room."

Kuroko sat on the bed and licked his lips in anticipation when he saw Akashi's fingers ghosting over the waistband of his boxers.

"Eager, aren't you?" Akashi teased, he stood in front of Kuroko and placed his hands on his hips, "Why don't you do the honors then?"

The blue haired boy smiled and dragged Akashi closer. Kuroko wrapped his arms around his torso and took a deep breath, "Are you sure?"

Akashi dragged a finger under Kuroko's chin and tilted his head upwards so their eyes could meet, "I've been flirting with you all night, I'm pretty sure this is ok."

Kuroko pulled Akashi onto his lap and kissed him sweetly. He fell back on the bed as his hands slipped Akashi's boxers off. The redhead smiled as he stripped Kuroko of the rest of his clothes. They continued to make out as they comfortably lay under the thin blankets of Akashi's bed. When Kuroko felt Akashi's hands travel lower and lower, he pulled away and whispered,

"Not today. The others will hear us, plus we're both pretty drunk."

Akashi nodded and dove in for another kiss. Eventually, they fell asleep in each other's arms and hoped that they would still want to be together when the morning came.

It was nearing noon when Kise came barging into Akashi's room to wake him up. Kise, Aomine, and Murasakibara had originally wanted to introduce Akashi to Kuroko because they simply thought it would be interesting to see them interact. What they didn't expect to see was Akashi spooning Kuroko, both of them naked, sleeping soundly on his bed.

The sound of the door slamming into the wall startled Akashi and he looked up to see Kise blushing and pointing at them.

"What do you want?" Akashi asked casually.

"What? You...Kurokocchi, I-" The blond squeezed his eyes shut and turned around, "Maybe I'm still drunk. I'll be downstairs."

Akashi sighed as he dropped his heavy head back onto the pillow. His arm tightened around Kuroko's waist and he buried his face into his soft blue hair. Kuroko groaned and he turned around to face the redhead.

"Good morning, my duckling." Kuroko mumbled, still half asleep.

"Duckling? How cute, where did you get that nickname?"

"I don't know, just felt right. Kiss me, please."

Akashi laughed and softly kissed him. Their memories rushed back as they held each other delicately. The thin blanket covered them, the sunlight washed in from the crack of Akashi's curtains, they stared at each other and it felt like their lives would be endless. Kuroko giggled as the redhead's hands roamed around his body.

"Tattoos a little later?" Akashi asked, his hands persistently sliding down Kuroko's back.

"Mm, yes." Kuroko pulled the other closer for another kiss.

After they finished university, Akashi and Kuroko decided to travel the world together. There were still many places that they wished to visit and they had the money and time to do it. They both passed away during an airplane accident while traveling.

Although it was a sudden and shocking death, Akashi and Kuroko cherished every moment that they spent together and they couldn't help but want more.
