Seeking What's There AU

"Are you cold?"

Akashi asked his partner. They were both in the middle of hunting down a yokai that has a part of the sphere inside of it, but luck was not on their side and now that it is dark, the weather became harsher and Kuroko's clothes are not enough to give him warmth, considering that they are searching in the mountains, the temperature drops to a freezing 3 degrees Celsius. They are lucky that they've managed to find a good cave to rest in for a while but it did not help in blocking out the cold and so the two of them got no choice but to wait for the morning and hopefully the weather will warm up even for just a bit.

"N-no,"

Kuroko muttered out. His lips and ears are already frostbitten and his face is in a dangerous color of red. Even though he's already hugging himself and that he wore a warm fur coat, they weren't enough to make him warm in the middle of harsh winter.

"You're really stubborn you know?"

Akashi gave him a look of disapproval and so the yokai let himself be engulfed with his kitsune-bi and transformed into his true yokai form; a giant seven tailed red fox which has thick, warm and fuzzy coat, enough to warm up a huge chunk of frosted meat. Kuroko looked up at the enlarged eyes of the yokai and sighed.

Akashi wrapped all of his tails around Kuroko and forced him to lean on the yokai's soft, fur-covered tummy. Kuroko smiled up at Akashi and he attempts to hug the yokai's tails, but since it was so big, he can't. Akashi then tightens his hold on Kuroko as he curled himself and positioned himself to sleep.

"Thank you, Akashi."

Kuroko petted the yokai's head and Akashi grumbled lightly, responding to Kuroko. The blue head chuckled and petted the yokai one more time before succumbing himself to sleep.

Almost immediately, the harsh weather was forgotten and warmth surrounds them.
