Akashi Seijuuro is hard to please. He turned down every suggestion that Kouki said. He is afraid to ask where Akashi would like to go, but it's his only choice since he can't pull out other locations that the boy might enjoy and he could afford.

"Err… then, where would you like to go?"

Akashi sighed and looks at him disappointedly. Kouki recoiled, feeling ashamed that he hasn't said anything that the other boy might like.

"It can't be helped. Let's go," Akashi said and walked away. Confused, Kouki followed.

"A-aah. Where are we going?" Kouki asked.

"Disneyland," Akashi replied.

"E-eh?! B-but! I-I don't have money!" Kouki exclaimed a little too loud so Akashi glared at him and clicks his tongue.

"Don't worry about it. It's already been paid for. I have reserved two tickets the week before when I first ask Tetsuya to accompany me. Since I wouldn't want my effort to go to waste, we might as well use it."

"Is it really okay? You're supposed to be with Kuroko, right? Can't you just reschedule it?" Kouki kindly ask. 'Oh please say yes, say yeeees!'

"Are you ordering me?" Akashi asked him darkly and Kouki can feel shivers run up his spine.

"N-no,"

"Hn. My words are absolute. Please refrain from talking nonsense. It's starting to annoy me," Akashi ordered and Kouki is smart enough to stop talking.


The ride to the amusement park is uneventful and long. Kouki is sitting as far as possible from Akashi while silently watching the scene outside the car window. Akashi is doing the same. The silence broke when Kouki suddenly exclaimed.

"Ah! There it is!" Kouki said to Akashi as he saw the Cinderella Castle from afar. When Akashi raised a brow and threw an amused smirk towards him, he blushed and settled down.

When they arrived at the entrance, a park crew approached them and talked to Akashi.

"Welcome to Tokyo Disney Resort, Akashi Seijuurou-sama and company. We've been informed with your arrival and wishes you a wonderful time in the park. Would you like a tour, sirs?" the crew asked.

"No need. My companion and I will tour this park alone. Thank you for offer," Akashi replied.

"Very well. Please follow me so I may lead you on the beginning of the line – the line is quite long – so you won't have to wait," the park crew said and leads them to the ticket lane. Kouki can feel the ugly looks thrown towards them and feels guilt. The people in line are waiting for long to be accommodated. His stare lingered on the elderly couple who are patiently waiting on the near end of the line.

After gaining a pass and a stamp, the park crew let them enter.

"Is there anymore that I can help you with, sirs?"

"Hn. There's an elderly couple near the back of the line. Could you let them in first?" Akashi requested. When Kouki stared at him in shock, he just raised his brows.

"I will. We hope you'll enjoy your stay. Excuse me," the crew left to fetch the unsuspecting couple. The elderly couple smiled brightly and bowed to the crew gratefully.

"Let's go," Akashi caught his attention and started walking away.

"A-ah, yes!" Kouki said and quickly caught up.


The theme park is enormous. They first visit Tomorrowland. The futuristic environment on that part of the park made Kouki excited. They visited few attractions but does not tried it. The first attraction that Akashi wanted to try is the Space Mountain. It's a space-themed roller coaster. Unable to reject Akashi's invitation, Kouki just followed him.

The darkness in the place spooked him and not wanting to be separated from Akashi in the crowd, Kouki meekly called him.

"Ahm. Akashi-san?"

"What is it?" Kouki heard him answer beside him. He quickly grabbed the first thing he can grab on, which is Akashi's sleeve. "Why are you touching me?"

"E-eh. I don't want to get separated. And I can't see that well," he replied. For some unknown reason, Akashi just let him. But his nightmare just began.

When they were seated, Kouki is a bit fidgety. The darkness and the closed space are starting to get to him and Akashi being his seatmate isn't really helping, even if he is completely silent (that just adds to the uneasy feeling in him).

The ride started. The queasy feeling just stayed for the first minute but after that subsided, Kouki is starting to enjoy. The ups and downs of the roller coaster made his tummy flipped and he just laughed. He even forgot that Akashi is the one beside him.

When the ride is done, Kouki is completely relaxed. He wobbled when he exited the coaster but other than that, he's fine. Akashi, on the other hand, is feeling a bit dizzy. When Kouki noticed this, he quickly joined Akashi in his side.

"Akashi-san, are you okay? Are you hurt? Do you need to sit down?" Kouki attacked him with questions and Akashi just held up a hand to stop him.

"I'll just take a sit. The ride made my head spin," Akashi said while walking towards an empty bench. Kouki hovered near him like a worry wart that he is.

"I have some medicine and candies here. Would you like some?" Kouki offered. He always carries some medicine and band aids for little accidents like this. Akashi gratefully took the candy but declined the medicine. After a while, he calmed down.

"It's your turn to pick the next ride. Where would you like to ride next?" Akashi said after some time.

Kouki is quite shocked that Akashi asked him the question. He thought that Akashi might want to drag him around the park, but it seems that Akashi wanted him to decide too. Kouki feels a bit better about this day.

"Well… there is one that I want to ride but it might make you feel dizzy again," he answered sheepishly.

Akashi just raised a brow (Kouki noticed that this one is different than the two. In fact, they are all different from each other. This one clearly means that Akashi is a bit offended and a bit amused).

"You seem to underestimate me. Go on, point me to that ride," Akashi order. When Kouki pointed to a rocket-like attraction with tiny jets attached to it, his brows furrowed. Kouki can clearly see the gears turning in Akashi's head, probably weighing the pros and cons of riding that. Then, he stared hard at Kouki, making him flinch.

"Once. Just once, we'll ride that," Akashi said finally and started going to the direction of the ride. Kouki's day just got better.


When they are in front of the ride, Star Jets, a long line awaits in front of them. Kouki is pretty sure he heard Akashi sigh in relief while he sighed in defeat.

"Well, it seems like it'll be a long wait. Why won't go to anoth-"

"Akashi Seijuurou-sama?" A park crew caught their attention. "As a VIP, we can let you in front of the line, if you want?" the crew said. Akashi glared at the man and the man flinched, but seeing that he cannot escape the ride (and Kouki's pleading eyes), he just sighed and nod.

"Please, lead the way," he just ordered.

The minijets are two sitters, one in front and one at the back. Akashi quickly climbed in front of the vehicle, just wanting to get over it. Kouki quickly followed behind, palms sweating in excitement that grasped Akashi's sides. Again, Akashi didn't react.

When the ride started slowly, he can see Akashi beginning to unwind. His tensed shoulders began to relax and his grip on the safety bar lessens. When the ride goes up slowly, he can see the beautiful landscape of the theme park. It made Kouki giggle.

Kouki loves height. More than anything, he loves the feeling of the flip of his stomach and his heart beating loudly in his chest when the ride goes up or down immediately. And the sight is something to behold.

"Look, Akashi-san! The Cinderella Castle! It's so beautiful! And oh! I can see the Big Thunder Mountain! It's so big! It's so cool! It's better than the one in the pamphlet!" he exclaimed.


Seijuurou can feel a smile forming in his lips as he looked sideways to the boy behind him. The boy is surprisingly fast to get over his (irrational) fear towards Seijuurou, in which he is somewhat grateful. He doesn't want a quivering chaperone.

To be honest, Seijuurou is a little down when he heard that Tetsuya can't accompany him in the trip because of a fever. He wanted to visit his old team mate, but Tetsuya already assured him that he is alright and that he sent a replacement. Not wanting to waste Tetsuya's effort, he just get along him with.

He is seriously surprised when the shaky boy approached him. He remembered the boy when he guarded him on the court for half a quarter but he didn't impress him enough to learn his name. Until now, even if Seijuurou is loosening up, he still didn't asked the boy's name. Maybe he'll ask later.


The ride ended without an incident. Akashi isn't feeling dizzy and Kouki is still radiating excitement. There is an unmistakable glint of amazement in his eyes.

"That is so cool! I can see almost the entire Disneyland!" Kouki exclaimed after getting off the ride. Some people don't mind them while others looked at them funnily. Despite this, Akashi doesn't seem to be annoyed like before. Akashi even looked at him fondly. And then Akashi's phone rings.

"Hello. Didn't I tell you not to call me? Father?" Akashi sighed at glanced at him for a second. Kouki just tilted his head to express confusion. "Alright. I'll be there," he said and finished the conversation.

"Unfortunately, we had to cut this trip short. My father summoned me into his office, so I have to go back. We'll just drop you off the station," Akashi said when he started walking way.

"Oh. Is that so? Alright," Kouki lamely reply. From his tone, Akashi can clearly hear the disappointment.

"You can stay if you want," Akashi offered.

"Oh, no! I don't think that it's fun being here alone," Kouki said as he joined Akashi in his car.

"Suit yourself."

The ride back to the station is, again, quiet. When the driver parked the car near the station, Kouki, quickly exits the car and bowed.

"Thank you very much for today, Akashi-san. It's a shame that Kuroko isn't present but I hope you enjoyed the day with me," Kouki said and turned to leave but Akashi's voice stopped it.

"You!" he called. Kouki turned and saw him exit the car too.

"Yes?"

"What's your name?" Akashi asked. Kouki can feel a sweat drop on his cheek and he smiled uncertainly. 'The day passed with me and he still didn't know my name' he thought.

"It's Furihata Kouki, Akashi-san," he replied.

"Furihata Kouki, huh?" Akashi said and started walking towards him while getting a piece of paper from his wallet. He gave the paper to Kouki- his calling card.

"You managed to amuse me today. I'll be expecting you to do it again in the future. Call me, Furihata Kouki. I'll see you next time," he said and after giving Kouki an amused smile, turned around to leave.

The car is long gone but Kouki is still standing in the same spot, embarrassment written all over his face.

'What idiocy did I do to make him so amused?!' is what in his mind on that time and some days later.


END OF CHAPTER TWO


Yay! It's finished! I'm so glad I managed to write this all before my internet connection is cut. I'm sorry for the terrible grammar and cliché plot. And maybe the OOC Akashi. And the unclear POV. I'm so sorry for many things! I haven't been in TDR so I'm sorry for the errors. Huhuhu

Anyway, this will be a six chaptered fic (five actually, and an epilogue) and will be updated every Sunday. I wish I'll be able to keep that schedule. Hahaha!

Rating is T so you'll be warmed for the future M. But that's still in the future. Hahaha

Anyway, thanks for reading! :D
