Day 1: Part 1

"Where we going Sei-kun?" Minori questioned as he rode on the older boy's shoulders. He was dressed for the day, and by the way they were heading Minori recognized that they weren't going to the daycare. Akashi walked while texting his old classmates, which left Minori to balance himself on Akashi's shoulders.

"Are you asking me to repeat myself?" Akashi said his tone curt. Minori leaned forward, resting his head on Akashi's head while he held onto the older boy's forehead.

"Uh huh," Minori said without fear, taking note of Akashi's shampoo, it was apple scented.

Akashi turned down the road, "Maybe I should leave you in the middle of Tokyo to fend for yourself instead." He murmured as he finally slipped his cell phone away.

Minori scowled, "But Mamma said she'd…pla..place you in da ocean!"

"She actually said more than that, you have poor listening skills. Fix it fast or I will." Akashi said casually as he stepped up towards a small house. He first tested out the doorknob however it was locked so he knocked and rung the doorbell.

He continued to knock until the doorknob twisted and the door popped open. The sleepy blue haired boy that appeared in the doorway had a serious case of bed head. He squinted at Akashi and Minori as if he wasn't sure what he was seeing.

"Suya-nii!" Minori exclaimed and reached forward towards the other teenage boy.

Kuroko blinked, and had to resort to rubbing his eyes, "Oh, Akashi-kun and Kita-kun…Isn't it really early?" He murmured and opened the door wider as he stepped aside to let them inside.

"I sent you a text Tetsuya," Akashi informed with a cooling gaze.

Kuroko lifted Minori from Akashi's shoulders, and Minori wrapped his arms around Kuroko as a hug.

"Sei-kun was being mean to me!" Minori said glancing back at Akashi.

"You should expect no less." Akashi said with a sharp glare.

"Why are you here?" Kuroko asked staring at the bag Akashi placed by the organized shoes.

"I'm dropping him off, I can't watch him today. I have to go now; I have to make it to morning practice." Akashi stated and paused before completely leaving, "If he is bad you can just skip over your turn and hand him over to Ryouta."

Kuroko sat Minori down on the step and crouched to take off Minori's shoes, "So what's going on?" He asked Minori as he set aside the small shoes.

Minori shrugged, "Sei-kun probably texteded it."

Kuroko bobbed his head, "Right…" How does he expect me to watch him when I have school? Kuroko thought as he headed for his bedroom, Minori's small footsteps followed after him.

"Who was that, Tetsu?" Kuroko's mother asked, she was in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

Minori suddenly stopped following Kuroko and turned towards the kitchen, "I'm here now!" He announced.

"Oh, good morning Minori-kun. My, have your gotten taller?" The woman had similar light blue hair has her son that went to her shoulders; she looked fairly young because of it.

"I have!" Minori exclaimed, "I drink lots of milk and eat all my dinner, so I can be taller than Atsu-kun!"

She chuckled, "That is quiet a large goal you have."

Minori enthusiastically nodded his head, "Yup!"

Kuroko walked into the room, holding his cell phone in one hand while patting down his wild hair.

"So Minori-kun what brings you in our side of town?" Kuroko's mother asked, however the question was pointed more at Kuroko. Kuroko handed over his cell phone to her.

To: Kuroko Tetsuya

From: Akashi Seijuro

Subject: Wake up

Sent:

-5:40 AM-

Minori's parents will be out for this week, so today you have to watch over him. Tomorrow is Ryouta, then Shintarou, Daiki & Satsuki, and Atsushi. Send him over to the next house in the morning and he can be the next person's problem till then.

If he's a problem just kick him out on the street.

I'm right by your house now.

Unlock the door.

"Do you think you can watch over him while I go to school?" Kuroko asked as he watched Minori discover Number 2. The dog didn't seem to mind Minori's attempts to pick him up and carry him over to Kuroko.

Kuroko's mother sighed, "I'm sorry, but I have work in the afternoon. I think you're father is also working late tonight." She handed the phone back.

"I wanna go to school with Suya-nii!" Minori exclaimed, Number 2 looked between the two he was suddenly unsure about the child.

"Ah!" Kuroko took the phone, and texted the number of his Senpais, asking for their help.

Minori let the dog free and went over to Kuroko and tugged on his shorts, "I'll be good."

"I don't think that's possible sweetie," Kuroko's mother said, "Tetsu might get in trouble if he brings you along."

Minori frowned and released Kuroko's shorts, "Suya-nii will get in trouble if I come?"

Kuroko's mother nodded her head, "Yeah, Tetsu goes to a school for big kids."

"I will stay here with 2 then, and we be good." Minori said with a bright smile.

Kuroko's mother patted the boy's head, "Kuroko why don't you go get ready for school now? Breakfast is just about ready."

Kuroko nodded his head and headed back towards his bedroom, cell phone in hand.

"Should I go wake up uncle?" Minori asked his eyes following Kuroko.

"We'll let him sleep a little longer." She said as she started to set the table.

Kuroko was settling down for lunch after just having bought some bread with Kagami when his cell phone started to buzz in his pocket. He reached inside his pocket and took out his phone, the caller was his mother.

"Hello," He said into the receiver.

"Ah, Tetsu, I have to go to work now. Have you thought up any plans for someone to watch Minori?"

Kuroko looked down at his meal, "Ah…Mitobe-senpai has a few younger siblings that stay at home, and Izuki-senpai has a stay at home mom…"

"He says he'll be fine alone…but…have talked to your senpai's?" Kuroko could hear Minori's voice in the background but his words were mumbles.

"What's up?" Kagami asked with a mouth full of food.

"Kagami, you live with Garcia Alex-san right? Do you think she could watch over a child for a few hours?"

"What?" Kagami asked mid bite. A child?

"Can you call her and ask? It's kind of urgent." Kuroko said in his usual stoic manner so it was actually pretty hard to tell if it was urgent.

"Are you sure?" Kagami asked, reluctantly taking out his cell phone from his pocket.

Kuroko stared at him for a few long seconds, "Yeah, she can just bring him after school when we have practice."

Minori held onto Number 2 as he stared at the foreigner, she was talking to Kuroko's mother.

"It's fine; it's not a bother at all." She said with a wave of her hand, "Just go on to work and I'll deliver the kid to your son later."

Kuroko's mother bowed, "Thank you, please call if anything happens." She crouched to Minori's height, "You be good, alright?"

Minori nodded his head, and glanced towards Alex, before watching Kuroko's mother leave. Alex than herded Minori and Number 2 inside of the apartment, it was kind of messy. Minori glanced around unimpressed, and sort of glad he wouldn't be staying all that long.

"We'll be heading to the store and park soon, do you have any requests?" Alex asked as she laid in front of the TV, it seemed like the only clear spot with an encirclement of beer cans.

Minori set 2 down, "I will be good." He murmured staying by the door.

Alex glanced at him, "Do you want any sweets from the store?"

Minori shook his head; a lump was forming in his throat. He didn't like strangers; around strangers he was extremely shy and easily intimidated.

"Do you want to play anything at the park?" She asked, the TV show that she had been watching was finishing up.

"…I…I like to play bassetball." He stammered looking down at his toes.

Alex laughed his orange head reminded her of a basketball.

"Alright," She said turning the TV off, "Have you eaten already?" She asked searching around until she found a jacket.

Minori nodded his head, and watched Alex scooped 2 up with one hand.

"Let's go then," She said opening the front door.

It hadn't even been five minutes since Minori had arrived and they were already leaving. Alex made sure to shut the door and lock it before starting forward, not even once looking back to make sure if Minori was following, which because he was used to such treatment he followed without hesitation.

At the corner market Alex bought some beer and snacks from there they headed to a near by park where some children around Minori's age played under the watchful eyes of their mothers, and also a small group of grown men were playing at the basketball court.

One of the men spotted Alex and waved her over, Minori and 2 hesitantly followed this time.

"Garcia-chan," One man greeted with a smile, "I thought you weren't going to make it." His eyes wondered down to Minori, "Oi, when did you get a child?"

Minori looked away, acting disinterested. He was uncomfortable.

"Are we going to begin? Didn't you guys promise to treat me if I won?" She looked towards Minori and 2, "Do you think you could go play while I show these guys what basketball is?"

Minori glanced at her, "I'll watch…"

She shrugged, "Whatever." She set side her things and Minori and 2 sat by it and watched as he joined the adults.

Minori crouched outside the bar watching ants pass in a line while Number 2 lightly napped. It seemed like his current babysitter had lost track of time and forgotten him.

"Should we go to Suya-nii? I bet he's done." Minori said to the dog who peeked at him with one eye. "Do you know the way 2?" He asked looking left and right, there weren't very many people passing by. "If not we will have to wait for Oba-san…"

Number 2 popped back up on his feet, and started towards the sidewalk. Minori quickly followed.
