Chapter 16:
"Furihata-kun?" Furihata woke up with the sound of soft knocks coming from the door.
"Hmm? Kuroko?" He asked getting up from the bed rubbing his eyes.
"Furihata-kun what happened yesterday?"
"What do you mean?" Furihata looked at Kuroko still puzzled.
"Akashi-kun called us in the middle of the night saying he needed our help." Kuroko answered.
"Help? W-What kind of help?"
"Well, for one, he asked us the proper way of courting an omega."
Furihata's eyes widened at what Kuroko said.
"Second, he wanted me to personally be with you all the time."
"E-Eh?"
"Yes he asked me to look after you and the pup. And lastly, he asked us if it was truly necessary to love the one you choose to marry."
"WHAT?!" Furihata bursted out.
"So mind telling me what happened?"
"W-Well, as you know, we went to my hometown yesterday to meet my parents. A-And the talk didn't turn out well. M-Mom said t-that unless A-Seijuuro t-truly loves me she w-wouldn't accept of the marriage."
"Marriage? Akashi-kun offered marriage? And Akashi-san didn't opposed to it?"
"Actually, h-he was the one who hurried us to telling my parents. H-He knew a-about me. I mean, he knew everything. M-My job, t-the pup and everything. D-Dr. Midorima told him about me."
Kuroko nodded processing all that Furihata had told him.
Akashi didn't approach him even once for that whole day or even for the rest of that week. By the night of the weekends, he is still alone in their room so once again, he slept on Akashi's bed which he'd been doing for the past few nights.
Akashi walked through the hallways in the middle of the night. He walked towards his room where Furihata resides.
He turns the door knob as quiet as possible. He walked past the door light on his feet. Furihata laid there on his bed using his pillow while hugging the other one. He sat beside Furihata's sleeping form carefully not wanting to disturb the omega's sleep. His eyes roamed around Furihata's face then going down to his stomach.
It was the third night he'd done this. He remembered his conversation with his friends the night he'd returned from being turned down by Furihata's parents. He had sent a mail to each member of the Generation of Miracles notifying of the meeting.
"Akashi, what the hell? It's the middle of the night if you still don't know." Aomine said as he entered the library followed by Kise who was also frowning and clearly annoyed.
"He is right Akashi. Just what is so urgent you'd call for us in the middle of the night?" Midorima asked who was sitting by a single couch being the first to arrive.
"Akashi-kun did anything happen to Furihata-kun?" Kuroko asked as if he'd just popped out of nowhere.
Murasakibara just sat down on the love seat available there which he occupied by himself, snacks on his arms.
"Can any of you tell me a proper way of courting an omega?" Akashi finally spoke once everyone's settled down.
"What?!" Aomine and Kise exclaimed in unison.
"Akashi-- what do you mean? Are you not dating Furihata Kouki already?" Midorima asked making Aomine and Kise nod in agreement.
"Did something happen with your visit to his parents?" Kuroko asked. He wasn't surprised that Kuroko knew about the visit since he'd been quite inseparable with Furihata lately.
"Wait! What visit?! Akashi--"
"Akashicchi! WAAAHH! Did you meet with his parents really?!"
Akashi sighed at his friend's reactions. He chose to ignore Aomine and Kise's questions and proceeded on answering Kuroko's question instead.
"Yes Kuroko. Something did happen. So for the time being I would like you to look after him and the pup personally. I can't come near him yet." Akashi said gaining another barrage of questions from Aomine and Kise this time even Midorima and Murasakibara reacted.
"PUP?! Akashicchi are you sur--" Kise was cut off by another louder voice.
"You knocked up the Chihuahua?!" Aomine jumped out of his seat in shock.
"Is that why you're dating him?" Midorima asked calmly but his face says otherwise.
"Eh? Akachin, you're gonna be a father already?" Murasakibara asked.
"Yes Kise, I am very much sure that the pup is mine. Aomine I would appreciate you not calling Kouki a Chihuahua, and Midorima, it is also a yes, I am dating him because of the pup. Murasakibara, I am gonna be a father, yes." Akashi looked at them one by one as he answered their questions.
"Kuroko, I know you're the closest to Kouki so I will only be at eased if you're the one looking after them."
Kuroko just said yes since it had been his job to look after Furihata and the pup's well being.
"I have one more question though... Is it necessary to for love when you decide to marry someone?" This is what made the whole room quiet.
"Of course, in fact I say that even with just dating, there should be love between two people." Midorima said fixing his glasses.
Akashi dismissed them before sinking into his thoughts.
Akashi brushed Furihata's hair gently eyes not leaving Furihata's face.
'So I should be inlove with you first before I tie you to me?' Akashi thought.
'I may not love you but I do know one thing...' Akashi leaned closer into Furihata's face briefly claiming his slightly parted lips.
"I may not love you now, but I am fond of every single thing you do~ I like you, but if that isn't enough then I'd definitely wait for the time I'd love you..." Akashi stood up walking out of the room.
By the time the door closed with a click, Furihata's eyes shot open...
'Seijuuro likes me?! THE Akashi Seijuuro?'
