Kuroko's POV
Kuroko had woken ip before Akashi that morning. He had woken up, pressed against the older male's side and his face was buried in his shirt. Kuroko yawned and slowly got up from the couch, not wanting to wake up the red-haired teen. He realized that he had slept in his day clothes and definitely needed to change outfits.
Being the nosy child that he was, Kuroko went to Akashi's bedroom and searched for something to wear. Literally everything Akashi owned was way too big for Kuroko's tiny body and it didn't really surprise him since Akashi didn't have a younger sibling. Kuroko did what he could with what he found, deciding to just put on a black t-shirt that went down to the middle of his shins. He didn't mind the length, the shirt was actually pretty comfy.
''Tetsuya, what are you doing?'' Akashi yawned as he stepped into the room.
''Changing'' Kuroko said innocently. ''Okaa-san says that I shouldn't wear the same clothes all the time so I decided to wear Seijuro-nii's clothes because I don't have any with me. Is that okay?''
Akashi blinked as the situation dawned on him. He felt his face heat up as he blushed at seeing Kuroko dressed in one of his shirts that were way too big for him. He looked adorable, to say the least. He coughed, bringing his mind back to where he wanted it.
''We're going shopping. My clothes don't fit you so you're going to need clothes of your own'' with that said and done Akashi had taken Kuroko on a shopping trip. At first Akashi was a bit worried that the lack of presence that Kuroko had would get him lost but it was quite the opposite Kuroko didn't have a lack of that at all. Actually, he would've been hard not to keep track of. Whenever he would wander off, he practically announced it to the world with how loud he was. Akashi prided himself in always being right but when it came to Tetsuya right now, everything came as a surprise. He never knew what the child would do, how he would act, he wasn't even completely sure that he knew his former teammate's personality anymore. It pissed him off a bit but his anger paled in comparison to his concern. If he was this loud and rambunctious as a child, what in the world happened to make him stoic and nearly invisible as a teenager?
Akashi suddenly remembered the state that he found the blue-haired child in, he stopped walking for a second. What had happened to Kuroko? Whatever had left him in that state didn't do it on accident so what really happened?
''Sejiuro-nii?'' Kuroko called in confusion, snapping Akashi out of his thought. ''Why did you stop? Is something wrong?'' he had concern written all over his face, another stark contrast to his older counterpart. Akashi scowled internally at being left completely in the dark but kept his face neutral.
''No, I'm fine Tetsuya. I was just thinking'' he held out a hand for Kuroko. ''Let's keep going and get you some clothes'' he said with a small smile on his face. Kuroko grinned broadly, making Akashi's smile a little brighter. He didn't know what it was about this Kuroko but it made him want to smile. Sure, he was still annoyed about the confusion regarding Kuroko's apparently shifted personality but he could live in the now, if only for Kuroko's sake.
The two of them had gone to the local clothing store and it was as busy as you would expect on a Sunday morning. They had shopped for a mere two hours before Akashi was presented with a problem. Money was easy to take care of but carrying all of Kuroko's clothes was not a job meant for one. They had to get an entire wardrobe's worth of clothes for him since Akashi had no idea how long he would be staying with him and he was seriously struggling to carry all of it. He couldn't expect the kid to carry all of it on his own, especially when Akashi himself could hardly handle it. There was not much Akaxshi couldn't handle but he discovered today that shopping for a kid was one of those things. By the time they had made it back to Akashi's apartment, Akashi was nearly gasping for air. When his breath regulated, he turned to Kuroko.
''So, do you want to change now?'' Akashi was confused once again that day when Kuroko shook his head. ''Why not?'' he asked, confusion clear in his voice. Kuroko beamed up at him, his eyes sparkling.
''Because Seijuro-nii's shirt is comfy! He exclaimed happily.
''And we definitely didn't just buy you clothes.'' Akashi sighed exasperatedly, running a hand through his hair.
''Alright, do what you want.''
'Taking care of a kid is harder than I thought.' Akashi thought as he looked at the ecstatic child. He smiled slightly as Kuroko did a sort of victory dance at being able to keep on the shirt. 'Or maybe it's just Tetsuya'.
''Seijuro-nii, can we play the game now?'' he asked excitedly, his eyes sparkling in anticipation. Akashi also bought Kuroko a game while he was there considering he did have a Wii that he never used. He couldn't remember when he got it, all he knew was that he never found the time to use it. Kuroko had somehow persuaded Akashi to buy 'Just Dance 2014' and he seemed pretty accomplished with himself for this. Akashi had no idea what he had just walked into and he may or may not regret his decision.
''Sure, let me get out of the bag.'' 'If I can find what bag it's in' He added to himself, laughing nervously as he looked back at the mass of bags placed in his living room. He searched every bag but couldn't find the game. He looked back in the first bag that he went through and found it at the bottom of the bag. 'Ofcourse it was in the first bag that I looked in' he thought while glaring at the game package. Kuroko had somehow figured out how to turn the Wii on and all Akashi had to do was insert the disk. Once the game was inserted, Akashi got on to the file and blanched at what he saw. 'Oh you have got to be kidding me' he thought incredulously as he saw the horrifying outfits on the neon coloured sprites that in equally ridiculous ways. He saw Kuroko snicker in the corner of his eye and turned to stare at him.
''You planned this, didn't you?'' He deadpanned, a dark aura surrounding him. Kuroko only laughed harder.
''I have no idea what you're talking about Seijuro-nii'' Akashi gave Kuroko a good-natured glare as he ruffled his hair.
''You little monster'' he laughed, Kuroko joining him. ''So'' he continued, looking back at the screen. ''What song?'' Kuroko pointed out the one called 'Turn Up The Love' which Akashi clicked on with only a minimum of hesitation. ''I swear to god, if it was anyone else I wouldn't be doing this. You seriously owe me now, Tetsuya.'' He grinned over to the blue-haired child who beamed back to him.
''I'll try to remember that'' he snickered as the song started. As the song progressed, the both did amazing….Not. They quite literally sucked at the game when they first started and Kuroko laughed especially hard when he actually won. This lead to a totally mature amount of rematches from Akashi, who lost almost every time. By the time they had replayed the song for the tenth time, they had begun singing a warbled version of the song with their gasping breaths from the exercise and excessive laughter. Akashi got really intense on this one, dead set on beating the child at least once.
It got so intense that Akashi actually slipped. Not a 'Oh I slipped on air, silly me' kind of slip but a 'Oh shit, my legs are literally over my head and where the hell did that table come from' kind of slip. Akashi had actually won that match somehow, considering he had only slipped just near the end. Kuroko had erupted into peals of laughter as Akashi did a 'sorry excuse of a victory cheer' from the floor. Akashi had only grinned manically before leaping over to the child. With a squeal Kuroko's laughter intensified as Akashi attached his sides, finding out the hard way that he was really ticklish. The two had played a few more rounds before they were nearly non-respondent from exhaustion. They ended up crashing in Akashi's bed again, neither bothering to change. They both only grumbled incoherently at the thought, mindlessly sliding onto the mattress. Needless to say, they had gotten some intense sleep that night.
Finally done with those chapters so I can start writing my own. I'm not sure yet on how I want to follow up on this since there's isn't really a direction that this story is headed but I'll figure it out.
Also, it might take some more time because I will have to brain-storm, write and stuff.
Thanks for reading
