-KUROKO POV-
"techuuu!"
It's another beautiful day at the beach, and right now im in the middle of a battle with a squirmy baby, who i swear is messing with me.
"Adrian behave i am almost done with your sunblock", I received another eruption of giggles from the ticklish happy baby as i apply some sunblock along his soft baby tummy.
"there you go, you bubble bee, you're ready to splash around" i give him a soft pat on his diapered bottom in which the little ball of sunshine squeaked taking my indication to scram back into the water with his waiting daddy.
"see you in another 4 hours, baby", shouting out to the speeding baby.
I laughed as i watch the baby recklessly used his momentum to launched himself into the water straight into his daddy's arm. Sometimes it scares me how clever Adrian was. It was probably one of the few good traits the baby inherited from his egghead father.
It has been a week since we arrived at the private luxurious campsite for our 6 month vacation.
Oh rich people.
And the tension from the little episode i created during the first day has finally washed away, and everyone has loosened up and was back to normal.
The past few day has been spent with me getting to know my friends, and finding more about these past years and vise versa
We use the barbeque on the Kitchen island during lunch and dinner together, i found out how much of an excellent cook Murasakibara and Himuro has become, how Aomine and Kagami's appetite are still ravenous and in return everyone found out about my improved appetite and heightened vanilla shake obsession.
During the mornings i wake up early to go for my morning runs which Aomine and Kagami happily took the opportunity to tag along. I momentarily thought about it, since it doesn't take long for a full on bickering contest ensues when it involves them being in each others presence.
It was like keeping two mice in one cage.
But then i've been proven mentally unstable by a number of psychologist that has had the privilege of meeting me, because i actually missed these two hot heads arguing like a old married couple with broken hearing aids.
So long story short i agreed whole heartedly to have them for my morning runs.
Which also came to be another shocker to them when i was able to run with a steady pace for a whole 30 minutes and not collapse like i did back in high school. When lack of stamina was a disease to me.
Akashi later informed us how there are activities other than beach related ones, he announced this bit of information like he was telling the whole group. But really it was Akashi subtle way of telling me i have stuff i can do as well, since you know .. 'Thalassophobia over 'ere!'
Kise took it upon himself to invite me to go 'adventuring' through the woods, which everyone thought as a good idea, because it involves getting yours truly farther away from the water, even better the fact that the trees will provide as a natural shield from the view.
At first it was great that everyone went out of their way to keep my mind off the fact that the ocean is literally Right there!.
But apparently everyone thought i was a Retard, i knew everyone was just thinking about my well being, which was thoughtful.
That was until they started to shield me from looking near the general direction of the beach!.
Whenever i find myself Drifting my gaze seem to always search for the peaceful horizon of the ocean, and since everyone watched me like a hawk, counting Takao with his eagle eye which mean he sees what everyone is doing meaning he knows what I'm doing,
A whole week passed and NO ONE has gotten near the water, now you know something is messed up when the guy with the phobia is the one who wants to go swimming.
This view blocking went on until i finally snapped which happened to have been a few minutes ago.
-flashback-
We just Finished breakfast and i found myself drifting once more when Kise who was sitting next to me, moved his large body to block my view .. yet again.
Sending cold glares at the blond at his obvious act.
Kise flinched like he actually felt it and he knows what he did, which he decided to play it of by inviting me if i want to go exploring the forest surrounding the campsite again as he sweat nervously.
Honestly i thought about it since we found out yesterday how amazing the woods is inhabited by tropical birds and colourful butterflies and i really liked them.
But no .. not today!, today? i'm getting them wet! With sea water ..Ahem.
Standing up from my seat abruptly, startling others giving me worried looks.
I may be acting abit dramatic but i don't seem to care at the moment.
"That's it, enough of this!", making my way towards Dmitri who was just entertaining a happy baby by making silly faces until i acted up, i plucked the bouncing bundle and headed to Dmitri's cabin where Adrian's stuff was.
"Tetsuya, what happened? Where are you going?" Akashi who snapped out of from my sudden act, called out to me.
"I'm getting Adrian changed, so if you will excuse me, Adrian and I are going swimming.", with my declaration properly thrown at their faces leaving them all dumbstruck but Dmitri who was chuckling under his breathe which he hides his face with the back of his hand, cuz he knows me long enough to know what im up to.
I slammed the door of Dmitri and Adrian's cabin to add emphasis, which also effectively snapped everyone into action.
-end of flashback-
-Kuroko POV-
I watch as Adrian pushed his silly Daddy's head underwater, in which Dmitri pretends he's being drowned, forming bubbles for effect and when Adrian lets go so Dmitri could resurface he proceeds to thank the bundle for sparing him, hugging him tightly and showering the baby with all his love in the form of kisses, only to end up being pushed underwater again.
it was down right morbid but the baby laugh uncontrollably every time Dmitri comes back up again.
Towards the left side of the father and son and all out war was happening.
Two thing with two words. Water guns and Water balloons.
As soon as everyone got changed, Aomine, Kagami, Kise, Murasakibara, Midorima, Momoi, Himuro and Takao got into two groups,
TEAM RED
Midorima, Kise, Murasakibara, Himuro
TEAM BLUE
Aomine, Momoi, Takao, Kagami
The whole battle was absolutely comical. If i were a stranger who was walking passed i wouldn't think this was a water fight between a bunch of successful 30 year olds.
"Here's some H2o for a H2hoe!"
"MISSED!, pretty face, wha?t has being a fashion icon making you lose yo mojo, babe?"
"your going to eat those words, Aominecchi!"
" i eat two things, babe, food and you, and i must say iquite like the latter over the other ;)."
"I'll protect you from the balloons , Murochin~"
" hahaha thank you., Atsu-kun, 3 i keep shooting you catch the balloons and throw them back ok?"
"okaaayy~ "
"TATSUYA, STOP BEING A COWARD AND STOP HIDING FROM BEHIND MURASAKIBARA!"
"it's a brilliant strategy! We can't lose Kagammin, we can confuse Mukkun, by throwing a balloon from opposite directions and shoot with our water gun right after!"
"that plan, may just work, let's do it Satsuki!"
"woop!, oh that one was close shin-chan, im so impressed!"
" stop patronizing me, kazu! (Throws)"
"Hup! Awwww nope better luck next time... come again... come on are you even trying at this point, tsudere- chan"
"i swear kazu, when i get my hands on you.."
"uh uh uh.. you can't cross border shin-chan or you are disqualified"
" like i care! I never wanted to play in the first place!"
" oh yeah? ... go head, sweetie.. cross the border.." : J
"..."
I continued the watch as thing got crazier and funnier, i was completely immersed by the show that i didn't notice someone approaching me until they spoke up.
" hard to believe those are grown men and woman, with successful careers, having a strategic and not so strategic water war whilst making immature banters. "
Akashi.
Ever since our ki.. thing, we haven't had the chance to talk to one another, mostly because we haven't had a moment with just the two of us.
I was always with two other people or more, until i fall asleep.
While Akashi seem to be busy with some stuff, i sometimes find the red head on his phone somewhere on the side away from unwanted ears.
Which worried me, according to them all, they all sorted out their businesses a weeks before their leaves, so it could not have been work.
But it rules out to Dmitri's theory, the day Dmitri had 'The Talk' with everyone, Dmitri openly Accused Akashi of Yakuza relations, just before we got home.
Though it was never confirmed ... or denied.
Dmitri promised he would keep a close eye and inform me.
Right now all i could hope is that Akashi isn't involved with anything, because if he is, it would pose as a huge problem. Since i have sworn any relations to and Mafia activities, though it doesn't mean im not well known in that world.
Brushing it off for now.
"yeah, but then it give me great joy to watch them acting like absolute fools of them selves for my entertainment.", i answered not taking my eyes off the playing over sized children.
I hear Akashi chuckle and it was like music playing, i should really call the police , because im sure it illegal somewhere to be that handsome.
I miraculously maintained my mask though i feel a slight heat spreading along my cheeks.
"Tetsuya."
So much for composure, just hearing my name slide out of the delicious looking mouth, send me to bedroom thoughts territory.
The very sound cause my mind to flashback to our most recent kiss.
I fought to steel myself and keep my mask but now my face was probably look like i have a tomato as a cousin.
Felt a shifting next to where i sat on the blanket i laid on the hot sand with the umbrella above me.
Akashi sat casually next to me shirtless, wearing beach shorts, he was also wearing some ray bans sunglasses and a cool straw hat.
(A/N i am totally going to draw this for visual pleasure ... im going to post it on my Facebook page ad always)
I faced him a little fearing direct viewing my damage my brain more that it is, but in a good way.
Just making sure i don't jump the poor man in front of everyone.
Hugging my knees to my chest, like a makeshift shield, for what? Not sure.
"i just want to apologize in behalf of everyone".
"what?"
"for treating you like .. for enabling you basically"
"oh. That. seriously Akashi-kun, i have spent the past years seen as a small broken boy. i am used to i-"
"well you shouldn't be!"
Akashi's sharp answer takes me aback, now gazing fully at the man before me, his eyes were burning with cold fire, the type of look that no one who breathes want to be the recipient off such a look.
as if the knowledge of me associated with being 'weak ' is genocide itself.
But the strange thing is it was making me hot... hot for Akashi.
Im such a goner.
Akashi shifts so his whole structure is now facing towards me instead of the loud group infront of us.
He was closer eyes locked into mine, i stare back wide eyes anticipating.. what? I do not know and it was making me nervous.
Nervousness a familiar feeling when Akashi is in my range. Especially when he is just getting closer and not stopping until he makes contact.
And the anticipation where the first contact is, is exhilarating.
"in my eyes, Tetsuya, i see one of the strongest person i have ever met in my existence..."
At that point i knew where that first contact was going to happened. Akashi was practically all over me.
We were still sitting next to each other, a few inches from each other, somehow my head ended up tilted back so i was just looking up into Akashi's eyes and my field of vision only had his beautiful well aged face.
Akashi Seijurou is like wine, they age deliciously.
".. and the most beautiful".
I let out a gasp and at the same time i hear a collective gasp from everyone in the water, not because they heard Akashj say the sweetest loving thing ever.
No
Because they gasped at something life threatening.
Something i am currently watching .
My gasp changed from reflex due to feels, to shock.
Someone has Water gunned the Emperor.
i am watching in shock as water from a pump action water gun is currently being sprayed all over the side of the red head, water quickly and steadily flowing, soaking Akashi's beautiful red locks.
The spray of the water gun was strong enough to blow away Akashi's cool hat, and his shades to slip off from his nose because how much water was being sprayed at him.
The surprise caused me to back up as i study the damage. Aside from receiving a headshot and getting soaked.
I'd say his pride is the most damaged.
The water war seemed to have ended due to someone's fatal error, or potentially their last.
I watched Akashi's still figure, his eyes being covered by his hair, and some strands sticking to his face and neck. He looked calm but i feel a deadly aura radiating from the still figure before me.
I stiffly turned by head to see who the gunner was, the tension was so heavy no one dared to moveca muscle.
I couldn't even move, aside from turning my head, my mouth is still open from the shock and i wasn't even the one who shot Akashi.
I turned and caught sight of the offender.
Adrian.
Adrian who is still holding the water gun, laughing his diapers off.
...
...
...
Not knowing what came over me next thing i know a sound escaped from mouth.
"pfft!", oh no ... i can't .. i won't... be ..able to stop it. FUCK!.
"BAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHA! OH GOD! HAHHAH", I can't breathe!
I proceeded to laugh and trying hard to catch my breath which proved to be impossible.
"HAHAHAHAHAA...BOOM! HEAD SH-SHOT! Ahahahaha!".
I continued to laugh hysterically, trying my best to stop, but the effort only served to boost my laughing fit!
"OH MY GOD ADRIAN, THAT. WAS... PERFECT!.. WAIT N-NO ... IM ... S-SO SOR HAHAHAHA SORRY.. I- I C-CAN'T HAHAHAHA ST-STOP LAUGHING! AHAHAH".
-AKASHI POV-
Honestly i am not surprised of this outcome, i should have know better than to make a move on my little Phoenix, in the presence of that little demon spawn.
I have yet again underestimated this not so feeble child.
Well played, Adrian, well. Played.
I feel my anger rise, as the water continues to soak me and the little mite had the audacity to laugh carefree. Through all the anger rapidly over taking me, it is suddenly washed down as i hear most probably one of the most beautiful melody man has ever heared. Undoubtley .
My Tetsuya is laughing... granted at me but i do not care.
Jerking my gaze back to his beautiful alabaster face, Tetsuya doubles over as his laughter caused his abdomen muscles to hurt making him unable to support himself up.
Watching Tetsuya laughing freely as he is now has probably cause a bigger shock to everyone compared to the little salted slug's stunt.
I think i just fell in love all over again.
-back to kuroko-
It took me a good 5 minutes, probably more, to finally calm down, though the occasional giggle – that's right, Kuroko Tetsuya giggles, manly af.
Making up my mind, i blow a big breath as i got up suddenly, all eyes were once again on me, probably scared everyone into thinking i finally cracked.
I probably did because next thing everyone knew i was going full speed toward everyone in the water.
I hear Akashi cry out my name in surprise from behind me, which i paid no mind and continued towards my intended destination.
The water.
When i got shin deep i cannonballed right in the middle of everyone. I got the desired effect, because as i resurface,
i hear Kagami and Aomine cursing as they try to get up,
Kise spitting the taste of salt water,
Murasakibara still standing but this time soaked like a wet dog
more laughter from Adrian but this time Takao was Laughing along as well as Momoi and himuro who was still standing behind Muradakibara.
Midorima got splashed too just not as drastic.
Afterwards it was just of bickering and splashing, at some point the water wars began anew, but this time, Akashi came into the fray and joined the Red Team, while I, Joined the Blue Team.
We all played in the water, neither side accepting defeat, until Dmitri butted in with his huge Egg Head, which Adrian happily agreed to, and warned me about my arm and threat of losing my contact lens.
I wasn't ready to leave the water yet, its almost 14 years since i got even close to a beach let alone got in the water it self. So we compromised with me floating around lazily on one of the float rings(the fancy ones with the built in umbrella which i never knew existed until Akashi ordered Aomine to retrieve them, with Adrian napping on me.
To day was a good day...
Well that is until night came along when things got ... awkward.
-That night- Kuroko POV-
Plopping in bed on my back ungracefully, i relish the sweet smell of the crisp newly out of the shower air.
With my eyes closed i sighed contently as i thought of the fun day, i never realized how much i missed beach trips and beach related activities, maybe tomorrow we can crush some watermelons.
The simple thought made me smile with a carefree breeze.
Tonight i don't have a sleepover since the whole 'me' and 'ocean' is no fiasco has ben dealt with, everyone returned to their respective cabins with their significant other. Another thought that renews my smile.
i get some alone time.
Suddenly i realized, ever since Dedushka and Obaa-chan passed away, i've been alone alot, yes Dmitri and Adrian visited alot but there are days and nights where its just me and the dead silence inside the mansion, sure there were guards station at strategic points but that was it, just a bunch of bulky guys in black suits and ties looking intimidating, they weren't the type to strike a conversation when i pass them.
It's usually a grunt followed by a stuff nod, or a simple 'sir' with a nod, and i were luck it would be either, good day- nod or good evening- nod.
There were time i hoped some thing would actually happened, so they would bounce into action and voluntarily seek me out to protect me, I'm sure that would get one of them to talk to me, even though it's because someone is put to kill me.
Anyway, ever since i moved back to Japan. I've not been left alone at all, granted at the first day i didn't know m y long-lost/newly acquainted friends was just around the corner, literally.
The impeccable timing was great too , since everyone was on vacation mode, allowing all of them to be able to hangout with me.
This whole 2 weeks i was either with all of them or some of them.
I feel my chest tighten at the very thought.
I have been missing this, all those years.
This feeling that causes my heart to swell that i can't breathe properly, making my face heat up, and i were stand right now, this feeling would probably bring me to my knees.
I was missing my home. Home where i grew up, home where friends are, where my love is. Home that was familiar. Home.
I relished my new revelation a few more minutes when i decided i should sleep, im need to restore alot of energy for tomorrow, no doubt Kise and Takao has some plans for tomorrow, and i need to wake up early to go for a jog with my two lights.
Turning of my lights, i walk back to my double bed, snuggling up in my soft heavenly bed and equally heavenly comforter, i closed my eyes to sleep with a peaceful smile one my face...
...
...
Well that was until i heard some muffling noise coming from out side..
I shot up from my bed. Sitting up hugging my comforter .
'oh, please please please no!, no more! I can't cause more trouble everything was just getting good!', my mind continued to reel as i listened for the noise that my mind has once again conjured to torment me.
My breath begins to labour more and more as the silence in my dark room deafens me.
I jumped as i hear the nose again but this time it was a continuous muffled knocking noise coming from somewhere behind me and then i heard it, the knocking stops which was followed by a muffled grunt and a long moan...
That's when i remembered my cabin was next to Ahomine's and Kise...
...
...
-Akashi POV-
A sudden yawn escapes my lips cutting my mind off the temporary peace that can only be created by reading.
Reading was like sleeping in a way, both allows you to leave the real world, both allows you to dream, except sleeping don't always have dreams while reading gives you dreams depending on the book, if you were Reading a fictional story then yeah, but if you were reading a Math book it will only cause you to go brain dead.
Yes, i, Akashi Seijurou loathe math, my Numeracy grades were outstanding but it does not mean i enjoy the subject, please, i am ruthless, not soulless.
Setting my book about Shogi on my lap, i stretch my back as i check what time it was on the clock hanging on the wall, 11.56pm.
Adjusting my reading glasses , i got up to go get ready for bed... when i heard a knock from my front cabin door.
'who could it be at such an hour?, i can't be anyone from my company, they know well enough not to be anywhere near everyone but Satsuki, my one and only trusted secretary.'
Cautiously i make my way to the front door, checking my surrounding in case the door knock is just a distraction for a surprise attack.
I wasn't too worried though, i have weapons hidden in around certain location in my cabin, actually all of the cabin in the camp has Hidden compartments that only, Satsuki and i know off.
I got to the front door, one hand on the door knob while the other hand was on one of said secret compartment on the wall by the door.
I open the door, alert, and i was greeted by a familiar powder blue hair, which immediately calms me.
Said owner of powdered blue hair was currently looking down at his hands that were fidgeting on the hem of his loose white plain t-shirt, a noticeable blush powdering his sweet face.
A very rare sight, my mind quickly secures it in my memories.
The image in front of me brings a smile to my face.
" Tetsuya?, it is quite late, what brings you here?"
Opening the door wider i moved out of the way inviting him in.
"um... next.. door... is", the bluenette before starts but seem to be having a difficulty with finishing his sentence, fortunately my superior mind does not need any more explanation.
My beloved shows up in the middle of the night flustered, sort of bothered, something about 'next door', since i was the one who organised the cabin arrangements.
I arranged the cabins, so naturally my cabin is next to Tetsuya's, but the cabin at the other side is Daiki and Ryouta's.
And if i remember correctly Tetsuya's and Daiki's cabins' bedrooms are adjacent to each other.
Aomine and Kise's lust filled escapades has cause my beloved to become, as people would say ... 'hot and bothered'.
'The question is.. why come to me, my phoenix'.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
YAY! Another chapter done :3
As you should all know by now i seem to have an addiction to cliff hangers...
But really in truth it just seem to end that way IM SORRY!
NOW. My next dilemma is what i should do next chapter, should there be smut, lemon or just some more hot kissing and groping. Teheehehehe.
Because this time around ... Adrian will not use the cockblock card. Mostly cuz he needs to recharge that or it would be just OP. So you chill for now Adrian.
So once again ... review and fave.. because it gives me strength.. so let's face it im gunna need it for the up coming smut ... .
For those of ya'll who don't know .. I. FUCKING. LOVE. SMUT/YAOI.
My only problem is i am a total novice at writing that. So wish me luck my fellow Akakuro Suckers!
