Akashi sat outside on their porch bouncing little Seito in his lap. The infant now was nearing his first birthday and Akashi couldn't believe that time was passing in such a hurried pace. It was like just yesterday his son was crying for him, and now Seito was crawling and walking a little. Akashi couldn't be more proud of him, he was a fast learner Akashi mused.
He remembered the time where after two months they had brought Seito to their home, their close friends (especially a blonde haired man that shall not be named) asked, no more like demanded to see the little bundle of joy.
Akashi was reluctant, not sure if he wanted his son to be exposed to such… cheerful (read: rumbustious) individuals, but nevertheless his lovely husband had convinced him that having Seito meet other people would be like a breath of fresh air for the infant and surely help him with his growth.
And so, the day that Seito had his four month anniversary, Kuroko and Akashi had invited their friends and family for a small and a quiet family gathering.
.-.-.-.-.
7 Months Ago
Kuroko awoke at the crack of dawn knowing that he had less that six hours to prepare their house for their son's four month anniversary. He quickly got out of bed, careful not to wake Akashi next to him. (Akashi had been working non-stop for a site proposal and the least that Kuroko wanted to do was to wake him up. He deserved some sleep for his hard work.) Seeing that his beloved husband didn't rouse from his sleep, Kuroko walked towards their bathroom and freshened up for the day to come.
He strode to their kitchen, taking out groceries that he got from yesterday and started to cook for the party later.
Let's see, pasta sauce is cooking well, I guess I should get started with the chicken. I wonder what time Kagami-kun will be here, he did say that he was going to help me prepare. Kuroko's mind wondered as he stirred the pot of sauce for his pasta, only to be roused from his thoughts when he heard baby cries from down the hallway.
Ah! Seito-kun's awake. He immediately went towards the baby's room, wriggling his chubby arms and legs in discomfort.
Mama! Hold meeeee! The infant wailed asking to be comforted.
"Ahh, Seito-kun, papa's here," Kuroko calmly whispered as he lifted up his son and bounced him, "Does Seito-kun know what's happening today?"
Do I get more milky? Seito giggled as his bluenette father kissed his cheek and pinched his nose gently.
"It's Seito-kun's birthday today," Kuroko told him, "Well almost, it's your four-month anniversary today Seito-kun."
Does that mean I get more milkys mama? Seito's brown irises shown with wonder trying to understand what his parent was talking about.
"We're going to have so much fun today Seito-kun, your grandparents are coming too," Kuroko explained to his son as put him on a collapsable crib that was placed whenever Kuroko was in the kitchen and wanted to keep a close eye on the infant.
When Seito was placed on his crib, Kuroko grabbed one of the the plush toy and Seito's favourite blanket. He then went to the cabinet and grabbed a baby bottle. With the baby bottle, Kuroko sauntered to the refrigerator and took one of the bottled mineral water and poured it in the baby bottle and mixed it in the formula. He then put it on the microwave to warm it up a little. The microwave then dinged and at the same time he heard footsteps behind him.
"Good Morning Tetsuya," Akashi greeted from behind, sneaking in a kiss on his cheek. Kuroko grabbed the bottle from the microwave and twisted the cap securely, he then tested it on his skin making sure that the milk was warm enough but not too much that Seito would have discomfort in drinking it.
"Good Morning Sei-kun," He greeted back handing him the baby bottle, a quiet signal that he wanted Akashi to feed Seito as he went to prepare for today's activities.
Akashi smiled as he was handed the bottle and went to his adorable son who was innocently playing with the baby blue blanket that they had bought for him, "Hello, my dear Seito. How are you this fine day?"
Akashi lifted Seito to his chest, minding his head and gently he pressed the nub of the bottle to Seito's mouth where Seito happily complied to drink. Yay! Milky! Thank you Daddy! You're the best. This is so yummmyyyy!
"How cute," Akashi mused.
Akahi then proceeded to feed his son. When Seito finished his bottle, Akashi made sure that he was resting properly that wouldn't force the baby into indigestion. Akashi traced his fingers on his son's small stomach, making small circles on them, effectively making the baby giggle with glee.
Daddy! Stop it! It's feels all tickly! Akashi couldn't help but smile at the sheer amount of cute that was oozing from his adorable son.
Had been anyone else in the house, they might have thought that the world was ending. Because Akashi didn't smile. He smirked or if anyone was lucky, he would scoff but never ever did he smile at someone so openly. Only to Tetsuya and now to Seito of course.
"You are just so adorable, Seito," Akashi mused at his sons gleeful smiles. Kuroko who was chopping vegetables looked at the father and son duo and scoffed.
Never did Kuroko think that Akashi would put adorable in any of his sentences, ever. And he had Seito to thank for that.
You're really a bundle of joy, aren't you Seito-kun?
I.I.I.I
Kagami arrived a little over eight-thirty in the morning and with his help, he and Kuroko were able to finish all the dishes that the bluenette had planned for his son's birthday.
When he and Kuroko were done, Kagami told the Akashi couple that he would look after Seito as they got ready, seeing as though they were both in their pyjamas. Akashi was of course doubtful of Kagami sending him death glares which definitely signalled 'if-I-come-back-and-he-has-a-single-scratch-on-him -trust-tha-you-won't-see-your-bithday'. In which Kagami had to admit he was a little (read: really, holy crap he was about to piss his pants) intimidated. It didn't make it any better that Akashi had pulled out a pair of scissors out of nowhere as he vanished inside the bedroom.
Kagami was then holding onto Seito for his dear life which made the infant whine in discomfort definitely sensing Kagami's distraught.
"Oh, hey sorry, buddy," Kagami apologised rocking the little baby slightly, "Your dad just scared the shi—heck out of me."
The tall red-head firefighter then went ahead and walked towards the living room where there had been a mat placed on the centre and a bunch of baby toys to play with. Kagami set down the infant on his back. Kagami then sat next to him and dangled a little plush toy on the top of his head.
The small Akashi then reached for the plush gleefully tapping it as hard as he could. When he reached far enough to tap it, he then let out small baby giggles knowing fully well that he had succeeded.
Look, look I touched it! Seito then tried to reach out for it again but to his surprise, Kagami had pulled back making it harder for him to reach. Seito then pouted his brown irises pooling with salty water that Kagami had hoped wouldn't happen. Trying to salvage what little life that he had (face it if he made this baby cry, let alone Akashi's baby cry, he was good as dead).
Just as he was about reach out for the baby, the front door of the Akashi household then slammed open revealing a head of blonde hair.
God damn it! Please don't be— Kagami cursed but then he was cut of by his thoughts when the blonde head just decided to open his mouth.
"Kurokocchi! Akashicchi! It's me! I'm here~!" The blonde pilot shouted upon his arrival.
Seito wailed.
We are so screwed.
I.I.I.I
The party had been relatively a peaceful one. Everyone had been cooing and 'aww-ing' at the sight of the adorable infant in either Kuroko's or Akashi's arms. Asking if they could carry them to which the couple allowed, doting on their son while he was carried by other people.
Kise's outburst had not been forgotten though. The blonde head was now sporting a purple bruise the size of a palm on his face as unexpectedly (or expectedly depending on other people's views) Kuroko came out of the bedroom with rage in his eyes as he heard his son's wails and proceeded to stride in front of Kise then made an Ignite Pass on his face.
It was safe to say that Kise had learned his lesson was thankful to the heavens that it wasn't Ignite Pass Kai, if so he would've been knocked to kingdom come.
Least to say the small gathering was still enjoyable. With the presence of Kuroko and Akashi's former teammates, Rakuzan and Seirin, as well as all of the members the Generation of Miracles. Also accompanying them was Himuro Tatsuya and Takao Kazunari.
It was an understatement that everyone loved Seito, because both their friends and family just adored the little bundle of joy. Especially the formidable coach of Seirin, Aida Riko, as well as the formers Generation of Miracles's manager, Momoi Satsuki, and the flamboyant Crownless General, Mibuchi Reo.
"He's just so cute~! Sei-chan can I take him home please~?"
"You will do nothing of that sort to my son, Reo."
"Ahh! Kuroko-kun! Your son is so cute~!"
"Tetsu-kun I can keep him~!?"
"Aida-san, Momoi-san, I would rather have my son live here with me."
To which everyone laughed to.
Akashi's father did not arrive however, but that was to be expected. The old man was just as bitter in his younger years and more so now that Akashi did not live up to his expectations as an Akashi. But if anyone asked Kuroko, his husband Akashi Seijuuro, surpassed his father's expectations long ago.
Akashi's father moulded him to be perfect, but his husband chose to be happy and lead his life instead, making him richer, in happiness and love that is.
"Seijuuro-kun," Kuroko's mother called out to Akashi, "Let me hold on to my grandson."
He smiled as Akashi gently placed the four-month old, wide-eyed, curious baby in his mother's arm.
"Isn't he just the cutest thing, dear?" The bluenette woman called out to his husband busy patting Akashi's shoulder.
"Of course, of course, dear! He's just as adorable as Tetsuya was when he was a kid," Kuroko's father exclaimed, "I'm proud of you two."
Kuroko was too.
.-.-.-.-.
Present Day
Akashi moved both he and his son inside, seeing that the sun was getting too hot for their skin. Akashi held on Seito's tiny hands as he gently placed the tyke on the floor supporting him as he took tiny steps. With careful practice Seito put one foot in front of another albeit stiffly, nevertheless pursued to walk on.
When Akashi slid the glass door open, Kuroko was at the dinning table near Seito's high chair, setting the young tyke's food. Kuroko watched as the father and son duo made their way slowly to him, Akashi protectively grasping Seito's fingers.
"Ah, Seito-kun," Kuroko cooed as he crouched down once they were half-way from him, "Come, walk to Papa."
The toddler babbled incoherent words but didn't stop. When he was just a short ways to him, Akashi crouched down and let go. He put his hands just a few inches from Seito's body should the toddler fall.
Seito, a little surprised that his father let go, looked up innocently only to see his father, Akashi urging the little one to walk towards the bluenette. Seito then looked ahead seeing his papa and with careless steps he walked briskly towards Kuroko.
Kuroko watched as his son made an effort to wake towards him but he saw that Seito's tiny legs were giving up on him. Before falling down, Kuroko got close to him catching the baby.
"Ooop," The baby babbled as Kuroko lifted him up.
"What a good little boy," Kuroko cooed as he lifted his son up and down, effectively making the baby happy as he was lifted up to new heights, "You almost made it, Seito-kun."
When the toddler was lowered down to Kuroko's chest, Akashi made his way towards his beloved ones. He hugged the both of them from behind, Seito's head on Kuroko's shoulder. Akashi then bent a little to meet his sons eyes.
Akashi placed a kiss on his son's forehead. He then rubbed his nose with Seito's, the boy giggling happily through his touches. Akashi laughing slightly in delight, "You did well, Seito. I am so proud of you."
And that made Akashi Seijuuro a betterfather than his own was. He loved Seito, not because he had expectations for his son, but the mere thought of his son being alive and happy gave him delight.
Akashi's father drilled it in his mind that he was to be a winner. Winners were granted acceptance while losers were granted nothing. Akashi Seijuuro was taught in an early age that he should always stand above his peers, and that emotions were for the weak. Emotions only moulded losers in the end.
If that was the case, he was glad to be a loser. He was glad that he disobeyed his father and loved Kuroko. He was happy that he was a loser, because losers were granted love. And Akashi was just that loser.
His father never once said that he was proud of him despite his hard work, but no matter, those were meaningless memories from the past. He had a bright present and an even brighter future with Kuroko and their son, Seito.
He would make sure that his son would feel the love that he didn't. He would drill into Seito's head, much like how Akashi's father had drilled into his own—how winners were granted everything, that he was very proud of Seito even with the littlest accomplishments.
Seito was going to grow up loved and cared for.
The tyke moved his head towards the living room where the TV was playing one of the replays from last season's basketball game. His eyes full of wonder and curiosity.
Seito reached his hand towards the TV, surprising Akashi. Kuroko turned his body to see what his son was struggling to look at. Only to sigh out in amusement. He just hoped that he won't be like a junkie like Kagami and Aomine.
The raven-haired toddler struggled in Kuroko's arms wanting to see more of the interesting men running back and forth and putting a weird orange bouncy thing inside another circle thingy.
I wonder what that is? What is that Daddy? Seito looked at Akashi, with his small hands he gestured towards the TV. Akashi then took Seito from Kuroko's arms and rested them on his own.
He walked him and his son towards the living room with Kuroko trailing behind them. The family sat down on the couch with Seito on Akashi's lap, completely forgetting breakfast, as they found amusement in their son's curiosity in basketball.
"That's basketball, Seito," Akashi told his son as he ruffled his hair.
Seito's attention was now completely taken with the basketball game.
Daddy says it's basketball. Seito tilted his head in an adorable fashion and looked at Kuroko.
"Baaa…ss," Kuroko knitted his eyebrows trying to comprehend his son's babbling.
"Baaa…sass…uukke." Seito babbled with concentration. Kuroko's baby blue eyes widened, he then turned to Akashi and he then knew he was not hallucinating. Akashi's face mirrored the same shock that Kuroko had.
"Baaassuke! Basuke!"
"Seito! Oh God! Seito," Akashi exclaimed raising his son in the air, "Tetsuya did you hear that? Did you hear that! Seito said his first word!"
It was completely out of character for Akashi to exclaim but it was for good reason. Kuroko grinned at his husband's excitement.
"He said basketball! Seito! You did it! You said your first word!"
Akashi Seijuuro was not a better father than his own, but he was one of the greatest fathers that anyone could ever have.
Kuroko could have not been more content.
"I am so proud of you Seito!"
