Kuroko winced as the sunlight shone on his eyes. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a well-built chest in front of his face. Kuroko lightly blushed; it still takes time for him to fully get used to a naked Akashi every time he wakes up. Blame Akashi for being sexy and handsome.
Kuroko gently removed Akashi's hand on his abdomin and make sure the blanket was still wrapped around his lover before getting dressed for the day. After all, Kuroko would hate having to look after a sick Akashi because Akashi would always be a bit more clingy and needy than normal. If Kuroko tell this to Akashi, his lover would no doubt reply with "It can't be helped that I need my dear Tetsuya to temper me and shower me with affection!" or something along those lines.
Slowly closing the door, Kuroko walked down the hallway and as usual, servants would greet him politely. Finally, he arrived at the kitchen. Once the chiefs saw him, they immediately left the kitchen with the ingredients left prepared on the table.
Kuroko was very different from other queens: he would always prepare breakfast for his king. At first, Akashi was totally against this decision claiming that his Tetsuya would be very tired every morning just so he can make breakfast. What's the use of cheifs if Kuroko would cook breakfast instead of them? However, after tasting Kuroko's cooking, Akashi was speechless and no longer complained although he had told the chiefs to make things much more easier for Kuroko. For example, the cheifs would prepare the necessary ingredients and make everything ready so Kuroko can begin work immediately.
Soon Kuroko and Akashi's breakfast was finished. Carefully placing the dishes on the tray, Kuroko walked out the kitchen, leaving the cleaning to the servants and walked with slow pace to their bedroom.
The maids opened the door for Kuroko and then he set the food on the table before going over to Akashi to wake him up.
He shake Akashi's shoulders and said, "Sei, it's time to wake up." His lover didn't respond and continue to sleep and so Kuroko tried harder.
"Sei!" Akashi grabbed Kuroko's hand and pulled him closer, making Kuroko land on the soft bed.
"If you're awake, why don't you reply when I call you," Kuroko stated and sat on the bed.
"Just enjoy laying on the bed a little longer," Akashi responded and stretched his shoulders.
Once again, Kuroko saw his naked body. "Sei, you need to change your habit of sleeping naked."
Akashi raised an eyebrow, "Why? I thought you like the view?"
A pink shade decorated Kuroko's cheeks, "... You'll catch a cold at this rate."
"Don't worry love. I won't ever catch a cold," Akashi said as he held Kuroko's hand. "Let's go eat breakfast now."
Today, Akashi was able to spend a whole day with his lover due to the absence of the usual strenuous work. Today was the perfect day to simply relax and don't care about their social status for once.
The sakura blossoms are ripe and absolutely astonishing to see, so the lovers decided to have some sightseeing. They sat by the stone-made stools while drinking freshly brewed tea and enjoying the sight.
Akashi sighed in bliss and his smile widened and he noticed Kuroko smiling. Akashi always felt bad to be caught up in his work and made almost no time for Kuroko even though every day he would manage to visit Kuroko at least once throughout the day.
These relaxing days are very limited, therefore the two always appreciates these peaceful days where they can spend time with only the two of them.
Kuroko blinked in surprise when Akashi's hand touched his hair.
"A petal landed on your hair," Akashi said, showing the sakura petal as proof.
"Ah."
Using the fork, Akashi cuts a small piece of the dessert and tell Kuroko open his mouth before placing the food in his mouth. "Like it?"
Kuroko covered his mouth and replied, "Of course."
Just like that, the two spend their time lunch feeding each other. Next, they stopped by the pond with many koi fish swimming around. Kuroko bend down and feed the fishes some food while Akashi just watched him.
Akashi was about to say something when suddenly Reo ran up to him and said, "My king, there's an emergency! One of our allies' kings decided to visit us and he's now waiting in the palace!"
"You go entertain him; I'm busy," Akashi motioned his hand to shoo Reo away.
"But my king!" Reo urged, "It would be very disrespectful to him if Teiko's king doesn't greet him! Our alliance would be in danger!"
Kuroko was about to stand up to persuade Akashi when the wind suddenly picked up speed, making Kuroko lose his grasp on the container with fish food. In order to catch it, Kuroko leaned his body forward and before he know it, he splashed into the pond.
"T-Tetsuya, are you alright?" Akashi said worriedly. Akashi wants to lend a hand for Kuroko but the sight of Kuroko drenched, having a koi fish bouncing up and down on top of his head made Akashi froze. On top of that, there was also a green plant wrapping on Kuroko's head.
His facial expressions kept twitching, trying to stop himself from laughing. Akashi tried to hide it from Kuroko, but Kuroko's keen eyes can tell what his lover's trying to do.
"Sei, this isn't funny."
"My bad, come here," Akashi extended a hand and Kuroko hold his hand, then puling him toward the pond with a considerable force to make Akashi lose his balance. Now they're both drenched and decided to play in the pond, acting like kids once more.
Meanwhile, Reo just stand there and mumbled, "My king, what about our guest?"
