Monday, 10:00 AM - Living Dreams Foundation, Tokyo
The Parlor Games are finished and it's now time for the Study Sessions. All the kids will be grouped according to what subject they will be taught, as in their weak points. Akashi, being the academically excellent person he is, never fails to impress the kids with his broad knowledge of subject matters that require utmost attention. Midorima chooses not to teach a lot of kids since he is not comfortable with such activities. Kuroko, being the one who dreams of being a teacher, gathers many kids on his side. Many adores him much more than wanting to learn about the subject. Kagami chuckles at how cute his Shadow is.
"Ah, Sensei, how do you do this?" a kid asks Akashi, who turns his head to face the kid named Akajima Seikou. She is from a wealthy family but thrown away because of her illegitimacy. Akashi thought if he is in the shoes of this kid, what will he do?
"Which one, Akajima-chan?" Akashi guides the kid to point out the topic.
"Here, Sensei. The one about figures of speech." the girl automatically beams at the redhead. Akashi feels like this kid has something he yearns for.
"Hmm. Let's see..." Akashi pauses, thinking of how to deliver the lesson carefully. "In this one, when you use Simile, the sentence will contain words like -as- or -like-, indicating comparison between two things mentioned in the sentence."
"Ooooh. So is this correct, Sensei?" Akajima nods and points her pencil to the notebook where she has written a sentence.
~ Akashi-sensei is like a lion, brave but caring. ~
And this sentence makes Akashi smile with affection. The way Akajima has written the sentence is neat, no erasures at all, as if she already has it in the back of her mind for so long.
"Why, it is indeed correct, Akajima-chan. And I should thank you for making me an example."
"Hm! Sensei is great and kind, too! I wanna be like you!" the girl beams with pure determination.
"Thank you, Akajima-chan." Akashi chuckles at the determination. "Shall we continue studying?"
"Yes, Sensei! But I wanna have cookies from Furihata-san first."
"Oh, you will have some - don't worry."
And the study session resumes and a bit later, Furihata comes with cookies for Akajima. Akashi welcome his lover to the session and whispers something along the lines of "We will adopt this kid, Kouki." and is met with a curt nod from Furihata.

That noon, they proceed with the Feeding Program. The kids are served with the most sumptuous and mouth-watering dishes courtesy of Kagami, Mitobe and Furihata. Sakurai also helps in the preparation of some dishes. As they all settle at their corresponding tables, Coach Aida speaks.
"Minna! We are now having our first lunch with the kids!" the Seirin coach looks at her boys with so much happiness. "Please, enjoy the meal prepared by our very own Seirin players and with the help of Sakurai Ryou from Kaijou."
And they all start digging in. Furihata is staring at the kids, his heart warmed by the smiles flashing by them. This is indeed a great idea, he thinks.
"Kouki..." an all-familiar voice startles his daydreaming.
"Ah, Sei! Were you there for long?"
"Not really. I am just admiring my boyfriend engulfed in happiness with his idea of this project." an arm wraps around the brunet's waist.
"Do you really have to put it like that?" Furihata blushes at the description of his actions.
"How do you want me to put it?" Akashi teases more, making the brunet blush redder.
"Seeeeeeei!" and a fond laugh is heard next.
XOXOXOXOXO
That afternoon, from a fulfilling lunch now comes the mini-tournament of the kids. The boys will play basketball and the girls will play volleyball. The kids will be divided into teams. Approximately, the kids they cater now are 60 - 30 males and 30 females. So the mechanics for the basketball will be 6 teams of 5 people, and 5 teams for volleyball with 6 people each.
"And so, further teaming is done! We have 6 teams to compete in this game for basketball, and 5 teams for volleyball! Games will be held every afternoon and on the last day, we will be awarding the winning teams! So now, each GoM will coach each team since they are six as well. In addition, Kagami and Kuroko will team up to coach their group." Coach Aida speaks again, laying out guidelines and rules for each game.
"And for the volleyball games, me and Momoi-san will handpick some members of each basketball team to coach each group. And here they are!" Aida holds out a piece of paper then starts reading it.
"Team A: Kiyoshi Teppei and Hyuuga Junpei!" the said couple blushes in recognition.
"Team B: Miyaji Kiyoshi and Hayama Kotarou!" the yellow haired teen jumps in excitement.
"Team C: Kasamatsu Yukio and Sakurai Ryou!" the Kaijou smirks at his lover.
"Team D: Mayuzumi Chihiro and Mibuchi Reo!"
"Chi-chan, we're teaming up!" the Rakuzan shooting guard announces, making his silver-haired boyfriend groan in boredom.
"Just go ahead with it." Mayuzumi says, obviously annoyed.
"And Team E: Me, Aida Riko and Momoi Satsuki!"
"I'm so excited!" the GoM Manager says, startling some of the kids. She quickly apologized after.
"There you go! That would be all. Our game will start in 15 minutes so everyone gather around the court!" and yells of approval resonate all over the place.
XOXOXOXOXO
"Kuroko-sensei, we're excited!" the kids from his and Kagami's team are actually jumping in excitement.
"I know, kids. But don't use up all your energy in jumping or we will lose the match."
"We won't!" one kid, named Kaguya Taima, shouts a bit louder.
"That's right, kids! The Light and Shadow tandem are here to help you!" Kagami inserts.
And Kuroko's smile grows wider.
XOXOXOXOXO
"Okay, team! We'll beat Aominecchi's team, okay?!" Kise cheerfully says and the kids nod at him.
"Hey, why are you teaching them to beat my team only? There are other teams, baka!" Aomine hears this and makes his way to Kise.
"AHOminecchi! Stay with your own team!" the blond protests, making one of his team members look at him incredulously.
"Why are you mad at Aomine-san, Kise-san?" the kid, named Aoyama Kirito, asks.
"Ahh! Who are you again?" Kise jumps in shock, Aomine snorts.
"Aoyama Kirito. Can we start practicing now, Kise-san? We're wasting time, you know?"
"Yes, yes! Off we go! See you later Aominecchi!" and the blonde waves goodbye to his lover for a while.
"What a troublesome guy. Sheesh." Aomine is about to turn around when;
"Are we gonna start, ~Aominecchi~?" the kid says with a bit of teasing.
"Hey! Who are you? Are you on my team?"
"Kirishima Aoi, and yes, I am on your team."
"Geez. We better get going..."
"Yes, ~Aominecchi~..."
"OI!"
And all the teams get ready to practice.
To be Continued...
Sorry, I know it's short but that's all I have now. My mind is littered with a lot of things.
Still, I hope you will like this chapter! Feel free to R and R!
