OMG! Those follows and favs and reveiws! You guys rock! You've inspired me to write this story even more! So here is your update! Please do tell me if there are any mistakes or anything else that you'd like to suggest to make this fanfiction better!

See diclaimer in chapter one.

Warning; slight OOC-ness, fluff (?), Yaoi (BL) and this is also un-betaed. English is, once again, not my mother languge so watch out for mistakes.

Chapter Two

Warmth. That was the thing that he felt. This strange sensation left a tingling touch on his skin. He inhaled a scent of spices and mint, and briefly wondered how this could be… Shouldn't he, in his doll form, be unconscious? He let the thought hang for awhile before it finally struck him.

A red-head male with heteromatic eyes, a charming voice, superior aura, handsome features… Akashi-kun. It sounded too good to be true.

Kuroko shot up from his resting place, ignoring the loud sound of rustling sheets as he disturbed the covers, and shivering when the cool morning air made contact with his bare upper body. Forcing his tired eyes to stay open, he took in a surrounding consisting of light blue walls that seemed to be glowing in the dim light that the velvet white curtains were letting through, a king sized bed covered in teal colored silk with fluffy pillows to complete it, a polished oak wardrobe and a full length mirror beside it. Overall, the place looked like a master's bedroom.

The sleepy boy blinked in disbelieve, he never knew that his owner… His owner…? Something didn't sound right with that word. Should he say…'Friend' instead? Yeah, that sounded much more natural.

'So…' he pondered to himself, 'Last night wasn't a dream?'

"Good morning, Tetsuya, and to answer your question, it was not a dream" a smooth, commanding voice penetrated the other's musing, making him jump. Kuroko had not realized that he had spoken out loud. Nor did he realize that Akashi had entered his room. His heart thumped at the voice, from surprise and… affection? He was acting weird, that's right; out of all of the words to use why use the word 'affection'? Kuroko mentally slapped himself for that.

After getting over his shock, Kuroko turned towards the door to be greeted by the sight of hair redder than fresh blood and piercing mismatching eyes. The owner of the eyes was a man that was a few inches taller than Kuroko, leaning against the frame of the door. A smirk was painted on his face, and he wore a simple white shirt with dark jeans that complemented his hair.

Kuroko bowed as low as one could get on a bed, "A good morning to you too, Akashi-kun."

"How did you sleep?" the taller boy waltzed to the other with cat like grace, closing the door that led to the bedroom behind him silently.

Kuroko made a deep-in-thought face; it was his first time lasting this long as a human-like creature, to be able to sleep, so he did not know how to reply. He voiced his thoughts with slight hesitation, as he did not know how the other would react to the news. To his surprise, Akashi did nothing but chuckle.

"Ne, Akashi-kun?" Kuroko's face was suddenly a turmoil of anxiety and worry.

"What is it, Tetsuya?" the other asked sharply, concerned by the other's quick change of mood. "Do you feel unwell anywhere?" He brought his forehead to the other's so close so that they were touching, not noticing the slight blush on Kuroko's cheeks, he sighed in relieve when he felt no abnormal temperature radiating from the other.

Akashi still could not explain the closeness he felt towards the doll that he had met barely a day ago, maybe it was the butterflies in his stomach when he had first saw him, or maybe it was the feeling that he had known him for a long time, but as hard as he tried to, he could not record an teal heads in his memory.

"Nothing…" Kuroko hesitated, debating with himself if he should tell the truth or not. Finally deciding, he opened his mouth "It's just that… It's hard to believe that you've just accepted me like this… Since I just came out of the blue and all…" He trailed off, unsure of what else to say.

"Tetsuya," Akashi sighed softly, settling himself beside the mentioned boy, wrapping an arm around him as a gesture of comfort. "I thought that I told you that I'd accept you, no matter when, no matter why, a long time ago. Why are you asking these silly questions right now?"

Kuroko stared at Akashi, mouth agape. "But! You don't just accept someone who-!" He was cut off when the red head placed a slender finger on his lips. His face blossomed red at the gesture, his heart was yet again beating abnormally fast.

"Foolish boy," the captain started, "It's almost as if you're trying to convince me to dislike you… And close your mouth; you'll catch flies that way." A hint of playfulness laced his voice. He smirked when the bluennett blushed even harder. Akashi had to admit that he was having fun teasing the other; who'd think that the stonic male would be so easily embarrassed?

The two sat in silence until a soft grumble sounded from a certain teal head's stomach, Kuroko was taken aback; he had never heard such noise before. "Is my stomach trying to talk?" He asked anxiously, "Is it sick?"

Akashi stared, and then the tips of his lips stretch up, turning into a smile before he started chuckling, then changing into full blown laughter. After his episode, he ruffled the other's hair and said to him like how a mother would speak to her child "No, no. You're healthy, its just that you need food, and if you don't get it at a daily basis, your stomach gives you a signal like the one before, so you need to eat."

He tried to use simple words, not wanting t spent the whole day explaining to the bluennett. Kuroko nodded in understanding, but otherwise did nothing else. The red head felt the other's eyes boring into his head, and sighed, realizing that Kuroko would not do anything until he told him to. He decided to make his move, asking "So, are you up for breakfast?"

Kuroko Tetsuya might seem to be a very clever boy, but there are things that one would only know if they'd lived. There would be lots of explaining going on in the future… This is going to be very interesting indeed.

(Skip to dining room)

The occasional clangs of china meeting china were the only noise that filled the room. Both males ate in a comfortable silence until the peace was broken up by a certain red head.

"Tetsuya."

"Yes, Akashi-kun?" A mop of teal hair moved up from a porcelain face, revealing a pair of pale blue orbs.

"Have you ever thought of enrolling in school?"

"Enroll? Me? What do you mean, Akashi-kun?" A monotone voice laced in disbelieve echoed. Kuroko's full attention was now on Akashi, he stared intensely at the red-head, eyes demanding for an answer.

"Exactly what I said, Tetsuya. Enroll in my school with me." Akashi replied while sorting through thick files of information, occasionally tossing an unwanted one into a massive pile of rejected files.

"Please give me some time to consider, after all, I've never been to school before…" Kuroko hesitated, "I don't think I will be liked…" His head bowed, his bangs covering his eyes.

"You never know." The taller male sighed, putting down the stash of files he still has to go through, and stood up. He took broad strides towards the bluennett, and crouched down in front of him.

"I really hope that you would come, Tetsuya. I need someone else who is actually sane with me." He frowned at the memory of his teammates and their craziness. It was not the most pleasant memories, especially the high pitched squeals from their fans and certain parts of the group. CoughKisecough.

Kuroko made his thinking face, -it was funny, actually, you can tell the boy's emotions even though his face was almost always the same- "Alright, it's only for Akashi-kun, though." He finally answered his face still monotone despite the fact that he'd probably just signed himself up for hell.

"Good boy." Akashi reached across the table to pat the other's hair, ruffling it when he reached his destination. "I was not disappointed."

Kuroko huffed at his now messed up hair, "Akashi-kun," he pouted and said halfheartedly "It took me a long time to do that!" Trying to fix his hair, he realized as he touched skin that was not his that the other man's hand had not left it perch, which was on his head. No matter how horribly much it sounded like an old school romance movie, sparks flew when their skin touched, and stirred butterflies in both male's stomach.

"Please let go." As calmly as a blushing person could say, Kuroko sighed. His heart was thumping from the touch; it somehow calmed him, and made him feel secure. It isn't usually that way for Kuroko though, he normally felt fearful and sad when another person touched him. Akashi-kun is different from all of the others.

Akashi chuckled, nimbly dodging the hand that was trying to pry his own one off the silky tuffs of hair, he messed it up even more, laughing as the owner of the strands glared softly and playfully at him. He raised his eyebrow mockingly, challenging the other. Getting the message, Kuroko's eyebrows twitched.

"Game on."

Tackling the other onto the ground with the element of surprise on his side, the teal head pinned the other's arms above his head and said triumphantly "I wi-"

He was cut off abruptly when he felt the weight under him twist and slide out of his hold, and a small gasp left his mouth as he hit the ground with a soft 'thump!'

"Who is winning now?" Akashi smirked at the boy underneath him; he took in the other's looks. Ruffled hair, unbuttoned shirt, rosy cheeks and slightly panting. How vulnerable. Anybody could take advantage of him at this rate. All they, no, he needed to do was to do a bit of foreplay and then- NO! Akashi mentally shouted at himself, how could he think like that, especially about a stranger?

He frowned; this was not going to get anywhere. His mind was getting more and more messed up as the game went on, he was acting so weird, and out of character for an Akashi, his sister would definitely laugh at him for that. He was like a different person ever since Tetsuya came into his life, and it somehow… felt good. He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts, this was getting nowhere. The game suddenly lost the thrill for him and he stood up, pulling the blue haired teen up with him on the way.

Kuroko noticed the slightly distant look on his savior's face, and he realized that he did not like it, not one single bit. Akashi-kun is thinking about someone? But who? Could it be that he has a crush? Or a lover? A sudden spike of jealousy appeared at the thought. No one steals from Kuroko Tetsuya. Not even Akashi Seijuro's love interest.

"Akashi-kun, are you alright?" He asked, concern in his voice, but it was to more of snapping him back onto Earth. Kuroko had concluded that he did NOT like it when Akashi ignores him, not in the slightest. Especially not when he was thinking of someone else, Kuroko decided that whoever that person was, they are going to taste hell if they hurt his precious person.

Akashi blinked, and seemed to be a bit out of character as he answered "I am always fine, Tetsuya. Not once did I get ill in my seventeen years of life." At least not physically, mentally, I cannot say the same; I was so weak back then… If only I was strong enough… That Tetsuya wouldn't have died…

Kuroko noticed that something was off, but decided that he would put it aside for now. He is content with his crush –he flinched at the thought, since when had he known that word let along used it? - being with him. He smiled tenderly at the redhead male "That's good, I do not want Akashi-kun getting ill."

An awkward silence hung in the conditioned air of the room as neither occupants knew what to say next, that's why maybe it a good thing that a loud 'BAM!' broke it, followed almost immediately by a "Akashicchi! We've come to visit you~"

"Kise! You Idiot!"

"Ki-chin broke the door… Again."

"Akashi is going to kill you for real this time."

"Akashi-san, are you here?"

Akashi took out a newly polished pair of scissors and looked at a bewildered Kuroko in utter seriousness "Be ready for hell, Tetsuya." The scissors glinted in the light, making it look shaper and almost like a deadly weapon. Kuroko shuddered at the thought of Akashi using it to kill someone. He wouldn't do that… Kuroko tried to convince himself… Right?

'Just what is going on with this house?' wondered the bluennett. Well, he was about to find out, not that he had a choice, anyways, for the dining room's door swung open, revealing five colorful people.

"Hello~ Akashicchi/Akashi/Akashi-san/Aka-chin! We've come to visit you~!" They shouted/sang/said in unison.
