? Kagami
Sixteen Weeks Old
Kuroko wandered around the bookstore looking for the baby section. He didn't want his little boy or girl to come as a surprise, so he was going to study up on everything he had to know. He planned on getting a bunch of baby books from the first few months until at least six or seven years old; that seemed like a safe age for them to not know what they're doing anymore. Kuroko wondered if there were some kid books about babies so Kagami could understand easier. He chuckled to himself as he looked around for the 'BABY' sign above the bookshelves and paused for a moment when she saw a huge giant with purple head peeking from the shelves.
"Murasakibara?" Kuroko asked walking over.
Murasakibara hummed and looked up, "Kuro-chin."
Kuroko looked at the section he was in and widened his eyes a bit; what was his old teammate doing in the baby section holding a baby book about what to expect when you're expecting? Not only was this scene scary, but also wrong since Kuroko didn't spot a single snack on the man.
"What are you doing here? Oh, hello Murasakibara, how are you?" Kuroko asked remembering his manners.
"Hello Kuro-chin, do you know if this is a good book or not? They give me too many options, so troublesome." Murasakibara sighed out.
"You are aware that you're in the baby section, right Murasakibara? And not the cooking?"
"Yeah, I know."
Kuroko waited. Murasakibara looked back at the book and started flipping through the pages before he hummed.
"Oh, Aka-chin might be pregnant. This morning he kicked me out when I asked him why he had such a big appetite. I don't know for sure though, he hasn't talked or told me anything since this morning." Murasakibara explained.
Kuroko hummed and nodded his head, "he might just be sick or maybe he was really hungry this morning, don't you think?" He asked reaching for a book that caught his attention.
"I guess; that's what I was thinking. Then again Aka-chin doesn't like surprises, so I've been thinking up of possible scenarios so that he isn't surprised if he is actually pregnant. I thought buying some books could be a good start and I was going to go to the drug store after to get medicine if he was only sick."
"That's... thinking ahead. I came here to buy some baby books as well, so I don't mind helping you with this."
"You are? Congratulations," Murasakibara cheered unenthusiastically, "hey, think you can do me a favor and come home with me? If Aka-chin is pregnant then maybe talking with you will make him feel better since you know... you're both having kids."
"Sure Murasakibara, I can do that for you."
"Could we also stop for some snacks as well? I just realized he might be hungry, I know I am right now."
"Of course, now let's see. This one looks promising."
Murasakibara blew a bubble with the gum he was chewing as he shoved his key into the lock; it didn't go in fully. His bubble popped as he tried a different key; still nothing.
"He changed the locks," Murasakibara sighed out, "he must still be mad at me."
Kuroko blinked; was that really necessary? Then again he was forgetting what kind of person Akashi is so maybe this wasn't all that extreme... no, it still was. Kuroko would never go as far as changing the locks if Kagami made him mad. Murasakibara started pounding on the door and ringing the doorbell at the same time. He just accepted it so simply; this must have happened before. Either that or Murasakibara really didn't care at all.
"Aka-chin! Aka-chin!" He yelled out.
There was no response. Murasakibara made a face before sighing and turning back to Kuroko.
"Sorry Kuro-chin, but you're going to have to break in. Let me get the window for you." Murasakibara said walking out on the lawn.
Kuroko blinked again, wondering if he was in the right condition to go climbing through windows. When he saw that it wasn't that high up, not at all actually, he figured it wasn't a problem. Murasakibara seemed like an expert as he picked up a thin wire hidden in the dirt and shoved it through the window, unlocking it before holding it open.
"Here, give Aka-chin these for me; I'm going to get some more snacks. Good luck." Murasakibara said leaving him alone now.
Kuroko sighed lightly as he walked over to the window and placed the bags down inside. He lifted himself up and climbed through, closing the window back up before dusting himself off. It wasn't that hard at all and he didn't feel hurt or strained. Kuroko nodded to himself and picked up the bag Murasakibara got for Akashi, leaving his on the floor since he didn't need it.
"Akashi! Akashi, it's Kuroko!" Kuroko called out.
"Tetsuya," he heard a voice calling.
Kuroko followed the voice and noticed the door cracked open in the bathroom. He knocked twice before walking it, seeing his former basketball captain sitting on the toilet with a pink stick in his hand. Ah yes, Kuroko remembered this moment well.
"Congratulations," he told him.
"This isn't funny, I can't believe this. No matter how many I take it the test it always comes out with a smiley face." Akashi growled throwing the stick in the garbage.
Kuroko spotted about a dozen more in there and went to sit on the edge of the bathtub. Akashi sighed lightly and looked over at his friend, noticing the bag in his hands and wondering what he was doing here.
"I'm pregnant too, as well as Kise if you can believe it or not." Kuroko told him.
This had Akashi snort before he smiled lightly, "congratulations Tetsuya."
"Thank you... it's alright to freak out. I did the same thing as well; I wasn't expecting this baby. There's nothing wrong with getting upset and crying," Kuroko tried to help.
"It's just a surprise. I didn't schedule a baby in my life with Murasakibara, I don't mean to say not with Murasakibara, but just not a baby. I didn't know how to react when I found out;I needed to be sure and figure it out myself." Akashi told him.
"Is that why you kicked Murasakibara out and changed the locks? I'd say that was a bad reaction." Kuroko said.
"Did he call you?"
"No, I ran into him at the bookstore. He got these for you," Kuroko said holding the bag out.
Akashi's eyes narrowed lightly as he grabbed the bag and opened it up. He pulled out three baby books along with boxes of medicines and bags of snacks that he didn't mind eating with his boyfriend.
"When I asked him what he was doing he told me that you might be pregnant and didn't like being surprised so he wanted to make sure you knew everything, even if you weren't pregnant. Just incase you were only sick he got you all different kinds of medicine and he also thought you might be hungry since he usually cooks for you." Kuroko explained.
"That idiot," Akashi said, but there was a small and sincere smile on his face.
Kuroko felt like he wasn't supposed to see that smile and cleared his voice as he stood up.
"Well, I'll be on my way. If there's anything you need Akashi or want to know you can call me, we're in this together after all." Kuroko told him.
"Thanks Tetsu, you can let yourself off."
Kuroko nodded and bowed lightly before heading out. He let himself out just like he was told, quickly getting his own bag filled with books before closing the door behind him. He didn't lock it just in case Murasakibara came back; he didn't want to see his friend attempted to crawl through that thin window like him. On his walk back home Murasakibara crossed his across path again.
"... thanks," Murasakibara told him as he walked back.
Kuroko smiled lightly, "good luck."
The two of them headed home to where they belonged, home. Kagami was waiting for him in the kitchen and greeted him when he came walking in.
"Kuroko, there you are. You know I told you I'd go shopping with you." Kagami frowned.
"You were busy and it wasn't like I went far, just to the bookstore. I ran into Murasakibara there." Kuroko said pulling out his books.
"Really? What was he doing there?" Kagami asked.
"Akashi's pregnant."
Kagami was quiet for a second before he busted out in laughter, "oh my God! I can't believe this! It's going to be a Generation of Miracle Babies soon! Call up Midorima, has he gotten Takao pregnant yet?"
Kuroko smiled lightly and shook his head, "you're an idiot Kagami."
