Author Note: Sorry for the bad OC introductions in the first chapter! To make up for it, I'm kind of reintroducing them. Kind of. Anywho, I don't own KNB or Gakuen Babysitters.


Narrator POV

Seiji looked around, starting to feel uncomfortable in the new area. He looked up at his mother, still confused on why she would bring him to such a place filled with unknown people.

Before he could question her though, he spotted someone familiar with the corner of his eye, and just like that, his question was long forgotten as his head snapped to the direction of the person.

Seiji gaped as he stared at the child. He was even more confused now. What was he doing here? He only seemed to appear in the magazine, so Seiji was having a hard time processing the situation. Before he realized it, he lost sight of the young boy and thought that he was imagining him while his lips slowly formed a frown.

Not long after, he lost sight of his mother, as well. The redhead frantically eyed the room, then without realizing it, he bumped into someone. They managed to stay standing as Seiji wondered what had happened. He stared right at the boy he bumped into to see that it was the child from earlier.

The boy looked straight at him before his own eyes slightly widened at the sudden eye contact.

"Are you lost?"

Seiji seemed to calm down a bit from the voice of the young boy, it being strangely soothing for a three year old.

"Yes," Seiji replied, still gazing straight into the young bluenet's eyes.
Tetsuya didn't seem to mind it as he started, "I'm-..."

Tetsuya didn't know whether or not he should tell him his real name or his model name, so he decided to wait until the boy decided to introduce himself first.

Seiji looked curious to why he stopped before he introduced himself: "I'm Akashi Seiji. You?"

Tetsuya seemed to contemplate on what he was going to answer before he just said whatever came out naturally: "Kuroko Tetsuya."

Somewhere in the corner of a room, a pair of ladies were watching the interaction between the two kids. They looked like they were enjoying themselves, so they decided to just watch from a distance.

A woman that had blond, wavy hair in pigtails and oval yellow-brown eyes with a beautiful smile, passed by before her eyes followed the children's small figures and walked over to them.

"Is he a friend, Sora-chan?"

Seiji was confused on why she addressed him as such, but decided to leave that for another day as he continued to watch their interaction together.

Wondering if you could count a first encounter good enough to become a friend, Tetsuya looked up at her then at Seiji before he nodded.

The lady smiled before she cheerfully introduced herself: "Hi! I'm Kise Ryouka!"

Ryouka was easily mistaken for a model with her looks, but in reality she was just a part-timer in the staff. She really wanted to be a full-timer, she even begged, but since she wasn't quite old enough at the age of sixteen, she's stuck with being a part-timer.

Ryouka would usually assist anyone free, but ever since Tetsuya showed up, her job quickly changed to being Tetsuya's stylist. She was frequently ignored because of her age, but it was secretly, mostly because she could get quite annoying. Other than that, they started to do it out of habit.

"It's nice to meet you, um..." Ryouka faded away as she glanced at Tetsuya for help.

"Seiji," the red-haired boy answered.

"Seiji-kun!" she continued with utter joy.

As they continued to talk, another person happened to notice a certain someone slacking off on her job. The person walked slowly, getting closer to Ryouka's back as he progressed, then whispered:

"What are you doing?"

Ryouka jumped with a squeal. She looked back to see one of their trusted models, Takumi.

Takumi had slightly wavy, medium dark brown hair and slanted chocolate brown eyes. He was known for his looks and cool personality when modeling, but fast to snap when helping around in the studio.

Even though Takumi was one of their top models, he managed to convince his way into becoming a part-time staff member. They didn't lose anything, but instead they gained a reliable member, so they quickly accepted him as one of them.

"No-nothing!" Ryouka squeaked before she attempted to run away from him.

"Ah-ah-ah... not so fast, Kise-chan," Takumi smiled with his hair shadowing his eyes.

Ryouka smiled with light descending upon her before she let herself get dragged away. Takumi didn't seem to notice the two boys, so he didn't bother introducing himself.

Seiji was glancing back and forth between the leaving pair and Tetsuya who seemed to be used to it.

The bluenet seemed to understand as he explained: "That was Takumi-san. He sometimes gets mistaken as a member of the staff when he works for them at times, but he's actually a model."

Seiji nodded. When thinking about it, he did recall seeing Takumi on multiple pages of their magazines.

Feeling slightly out of place, Hiromoto was watching this at the side, wondering on whether or not he should approach them. Seeing that two other people did so already, he walked up to them, "Hi, Sora-chan!"

Tetsuya looked up and nodded with a smile. After the times getting his pictures taken from Hiromoto, he grew somewhat attached to him. "Hiromoto-san."

Hiromoto had longish, brown hair with some highlight of red on the bottom, eyebrows being a little thick, narrow, brown eyes, a somewhat cool yet uncommon beard, and a nice smile to top it all off.

Since Ayano didn't want to hire a lot of photographers, Hiromoto was one of the most special people in the staff. If something happened to him, someone could replace him, but they prefer that to not happen since Hiromoto had the best photography skills compared to all of them. All the models know him since, of course, he takes their pictures the most and does the best job. Besides, he's pretty nice to have for company.

Hiromoto's gaze fell on Seiji and he hesitated. This didn't go unnoticed by Seiji as he started introducing himself.

"I'm Akashi Seiji. It's nice to meet you... Hiromoto-san?"

Hiromoto relaxed and replied: "It's nice to meet you too, Seiji-kun."

Glancing at the clock, Hiromoto did a double take, then his face completely turned serious and he shouted: "Everybody, in positions. Now!"

Seiji flinched and watched as the staff ran all over the place. He spotted familiar red hair and immediately called out: "Mom!"

Shiori looked at her son, smiled, and waved as if Seiji was just at the playground, playing with a friend.

Without noticing, both he and Tetsuya ran for their guardians, but stopped when they heard shouting from Hiromoto.

"Where are our models?!"

Ayano grinned.

"They're right here, Hiromoto-kun!"

Hiromoto knew what she meant and gaped.

"Seiji-kun's going to model too?"

"Of course, Shiori even gave permission."

Hiromoto didn't complain any further as he got parental permission already, might as well go with the flow and lead the two boys to the photo shoot.

Hiromoto knelt down and stared Seiji right in the eye: "Do you know what to do?"

Seiji was still confused on what the lady with short blue hair said, so he was kind of zoning out.

Tetsuya turned in his direction and tilted his head.

"Are you okay, Seiji-kun?"

Seiji snapped out of it and nodded.

Hiromoto sighed and glanced at the two ladies before putting his attention back on the red-headed boy.

"Just go with the flow, okay? If you find that hard, just follow Sora-chan."
Hiromoto stood up before Seiji could answer and started getting his equipment ready.

Finished, Hiromoto gave a thumbs up, "Start whenever you're ready."

By the time Seiji understood what was going on, they had already begun taking pictures.

Tetsuya started moving around as if he wasn't getting his pictures taken. He then turned to Seiji and grinned while reaching for Seiji's hands.
Seiji stood there shell-shocked before following Tetsuya's lead with a smile of his own.

The others watched the interaction between the two boys. Some smiled at the adorable scene while the others thought of an idea. Ayano happened to be one of those others.

After the photo-shoot, they ended up with using the two best pictures. One of them showed Tetsuya with his arms around Seiji's shoulders while rubbing his cheeks with his own. Both had grins on their faces and the usual small blush. The second one had Seiji and Tetsuya with their hands intertwined; the picture happened to be the first picture they took.

"Seiji-kun... Would you like to become a duo with Tetsuya-chan?" Ayano asked as she sneaked a small peak at Shiori. The latter seemed to be completely okay with the idea - scratch that, she seemed to be thrilled at the idea.

"What do you say, Seiji-kun?" Shiori knelt down and placed her hands on the boy's shoulders. "Do you want to continue modeling with Tetsuya-chan? If you do, you'll get to meet him more often."

Seiji, not completely understanding the situation, only understood the part on being able to see Tetsuya more often, nodded.

"Uhn."
