This is a roleplay story done by KurokoTetsuya101 and The Lucky Bell.
The next day took forever to come since Kuroko was both excited and anxious. He was excited to see Akashi again but he was anxious about what everyone would say. Would the like his new looks? Would they hate him even more? He was unsure but there was nothing he could do about it except go to school.
So he did. He went to school the next day at normal time, rather than early like he has been recently. This was when everyone was in the halls, talking to their friends and hanging out. Kuroko inwardly groaned as he walked through the halls to get to the library.
At first he didn't notice the stares. He was too busy avoiding eye contact. However when someone approached him, he realized that the whole hall was quiet.
"Are... you a new student?" The other student asked. This confused Kuroko. He wasn't new; He's been there for a long time...
"No. I'm Kuroko Tetsuya. I've been here for the whole year already." He mumbled which shocked everyone. That sent some whispering around immediately. Talk about how the geek of the school suddenly changed appearance and somehow looked like a prince or something.
Not wanting to hear it all, Kuroko made his way down the hall once more until he made it to the library. He sighed in relief once he made it to the quiet room. Who cares if they didn't like how he looked or if they did? He just didn't want to be stared at again…
Suddenly out of nowhere, Kagami stormed into the library and up to Kuroko. "Oi! Kuroko! What's all this fuss about? I heard people saying that you chang-" Kagami stopped midway as he saw his best friend's face. He couldn't see it when he came in because he was facing Kuroko's back but now that he saw the... shocking transformation, Kagami's jaw dropped. He even thought he had the wrong person for a second!
The large redhead had heard people talk about his best friend and was confused as hell as to why Kuroko was the hot topic of everyone around the school. Did something happen to him? Did someone beat him up to no recognition?' Kagami thought up of all the worst possible scenarios and rushed to his friend's aid, but much to his shock and utter surprise, the truth was VERY different.
Kuroko nearly jumped out of his shoes when he heard Kagami burst into the library. Luckily there weren't many people inside so he wasn't too bothered by his friend's loudness. He looked at him and saw his shocked face.
Did Kagami like it? What if he hated it? His only friend? "Do... D-Do you like it...?" He asked hesitantly.
Kagami looked at his best friend like there's no tomorrow. The large redhead just couldn't believe Kuroko would do something like that. What brought on this change... after Kuroko told him long time ago that he would never cut his hair or take off his glasses. Kagami is surprised but also concerned.
"You look like a different person! In a good way! You look great! But Kuroko... I never expected you to cut your hair after... after you said you wouldn't. What brought on this change?" the memory of young Kuroko flushed through his mind. The young Kuroko who swore he would never show anyone his face after that incident long ago. Did someone bully Kuroko into cutting it? Kagami clenched his fists at the thought.
Kuroko didn't say anything at first. What would Kagami say or think if he explained about Akashi? He knew Kagami hated Akashi... What should he say? Well, he wasn't going to lie, that's for sure. "Well... It's true that I said long ago that I'd never cut my hair again but... Someone did make me feel better about my looks and helped me look like this…"
"Who?" was the first question that came to Kagami's mind. Who could succeed in persuading Kuroko to change his looks? Kagami and even Kuroko's parents tried but failed miserably. This made Kagami really curious on the identity of the person.
Kuroko looked up at Kagami but couldn't find himself able to reply. He didn't want his only friend to hate him for getting into a relationship with someone he hates. He wasn't going to lie either so... He stayed silent.
Kagami looked at his best friend, being able to tell right away that Kuroko was struggling to reveal whom the person is. Kagami knows Kuroko for more than 10 years, since they were children! So he knew just by looking at his friend that something is wrong.
Kagami sighed. "You don't have to tell me right away. Take your time. Just as long as that person doesn't hurt you, I'll wait." Kagami smiled as he patted his best friend on the head, ruffing his hair.
"Thank you..." Kuroko murmured. He was glad Kagami didn't decide to push it. He wouldn't know what to say if Kagami demanded for him to tell who it was.
When he felt Kagami ruffle his hair, he wondered what it would look like now that it wasn't long. "Ah... My hair doesn't get tangled anymore." He said to himself, feeling his hair after Kagami removed his hand.
"Oh! You're right!" Kagami smiled and closed his eyes. Somehow he felt that Kuroko is happy, which made Kagami happy as well. He doesn't know who this mysterious person is but this strange feeling made Kagami believe that the man wants good for his best friend. Of course, if he does something that would harm Kuroko, he would beat his ass right away.
"Do the contacts hurt?"
"Ah, no. They're easy to get used to. They aren't that hard to put in or take out either." Kuroko said. He forgot all about his glasses that he used to wear unit Kagami pointed out his contacts. "And they won't get messy so I don't have to clean them all the time, unlike my glasses."
"That's good to hear." Kagami said as his stomach made a loud rumbling noise. "Uhh... sorry I didn't eat anything since morning."
"It's still morning, Kagami-kun. If you want breakfast, we can get some from the cafeteria if you'd like..." Kuroko usually ate breakfast at home so he usually didn't go to the cafeteria for breakfast when he got to school.
"Are you sure? You don't usually go to the cafeteria."
"It's just a cafeteria. Not many people go there in the morning." Kuroko reassured. "...At least I don't think so…"
"If you're okay with it then let's go. I'm starving~" Kagami said before he made his way out of the library.
Kuroko just nodded and followed Kagami. It was a good thing he didn't have library duty or else Kagami would've stayed with him or something instead of eating like he has to.
They made their way to the cafeteria relatively fast. As Kuroko suspected, not many people were inside. However once they noticed him, it became quiet like in the halls. They were staring again, something Kuroko wished would stop soon.
He was surprised when eventually some people approached him. They weren't just people, they were girls. Girls usually avoided him completely rather than the guys who make fun of him while avoiding him.
"So you're Kuroko Tetsuya?" One of them asked.
"Ah... Yes..." Kuroko answered hesitantly.
"I heard you had long hair before."
"And glasses."
"So you've been in school this whole time?"
Kuroko heard these questions in the halls but this was the first time that day where someone approached him, girls at that, and asked him directly. It was almost overwhelming. He looked towards Kagami for help.
Kagami looked at his friend while stuffing his mouth with burgers he bought at the counter. He noticed Kuroko asking for help so he gulped the food down before turning his head to face the girls. The girls weren't bad looking and are known for being good students.
"Yeah he did." Kagami said as he opened another one of his burgers.
Kuroko tried not to frown at his friend. Kagami of all people should know that he didn't like attention or people crowding him. Not only that but he felt uncomfortable around girls. He might also feel uncomfortable by the fact that he was dating not only a guy, but Akashi Seijuuro himself.
"I'm sorry ladies, but I'd like to sit down with my friend and work on studying." He said, coming up with the first lie that came to mind. It was believable since he always carried around his binders. The girls seemed a little disappointed but left anyway. As soon as they walked away, Kuroko jabbed Kagami's side with his hand. "You weren't helping."
"Aw! What was that for Kuroko? Damn it hurts!" Kagami flinched at the impact and immediately put his hand to his side.
"You know I don't like attention or being crowded." And girls, but Kuroko didn't say it aloud. He sighed and sat down. "Burgers for breakfast?"
"Oi! Burgers are good for you... I think. Besides, I thought you could handle it. They were just girls and its not like they wanted to bully you right?" Kagami rubbed the place where was hit before shoving another burger in his mouth. His whole tray was overflowing with burgers!
"I guess but..." Kuroko sighed and slumped in his seat. Kagami would never understand a nerd's fear of girls. "I don't think burgers are good for the morning though..." And by the looks of how many burgers Kagami got, he had a feeling they would be there for a while.
"No way! But I still need to get my energy if I'm going to go to lessons today." Kagami ate when a thought popped up in his mind.
"Kuroko... are you going to try again?" Kagami asked his friend, hinting to the basketball club and to Akashi. He wasn't sure Kuroko would try to persuade Akashi again but something told him his friend wouldn't give up. After all, Kuroko is one stubborn guy.
"Of course I am." Kuroko said, looking at Kagami. Since he didn't tell him about Akashi, Kagami didn't know that Akashi was teaching him his own basketball style. "And something tells me we will get in next time."
Kagami choked on his drink when he heard Kuroko say that last sentence. Some of the drink got on Kuroko in the process but Kagami was too taken by Kuroko's answer to notice. "WHAT!? How can you be so sure? After everything that happened!"
Kuroko grimaced slightly and wiped some of the drink off. "I'd appreciate it if you didn't spit on me like so..." He mumbled, looking at his slightly wet shirt.
"Oh sorry!" Kagami quickly took some tissues and gave them to Kuroko. He felt really stupid for choking on his drink but Kuroko had really surprised him. After helping Kuroko clean himself up, Kagami asked again "What did you mean by that?"
"Just a feeling I suppose." Kuroko shrugged as he cleaned himself. "Trust me."
Kagami looked at his friend suspiciously. Somehow... Kuroko changed, and Kagami didn't mean just his appearance. The large redhead didn't know what to make of it but decided to stay low for now. Maybe it was a good change for Kuroko. He's finally stopped hiding and seems to have more confidence in himself. Maybe its the work of that mysterious person?
"If you say so." Kagami said as he stood up. "Should we go to class?" the redhead yawned.
Kuroko couldn't believe Kagami ate that whole mountain of burgers so quickly. He was used to his friends eating appetite but it was still amazing. "Alright. And don't fall asleep in class or else you'll get in trouble."
"You sleep in class too! But they only notice me!" Kagami pouted but when he saw his friend smiling, he went to stand beside him before ruffling his hair.
Akashi sighed as his algebra class came to an end. The class was boring as always, not because the subject was uninteresting, but because it was too easy. He really couldn't understand how some people have a hard time with algebra and mathematics.
But now the class is over and Akashi couldn't wait to see his date. Hopefully he'll meet him at lunch so hey could spend time together, but just as he thought he could have some alone time with Kuroko, Kise came barging into his classroom asking to have lunch together with him in the cafeteria.
"You left early in practice yesterday!" Kise whined as he leaned on the redhead's desk while the other students were getting up for lunch. "It's only fair that you sit with me today, right?"
The redhead sighed. Kise did have a point so he decided to play along with his childhood friend just this one time. "Alright, but just this time." Hopefully his little date will be in the cafeteria.
"Good! Now let's get going." Kise said, urging Akashi to get up. He wanted to hear why the captain decided to leave early. Of course he knew that the redhead was going to confess to Kuroko one day, he just didn't know that the redhead actually did it yesterday. "I heard the nerd- I mean Kuroko changed his looks. Who knew he could look that way? I wonder who did it." Although the blond had a pretty good idea who.
Akashi smirked, knowing Kise's intentions very well. "Don't act innocent Ryouta. You already know who did it. Besides, now with his change of looks, there will be no more bullying."
"So that means you already confessed?" Kise asked. If Akashi confessed, it had to be yesterday. "And you got him to change his looks that fast?"
"Yes and yes. We're already dating but..." Akashi gives Kise his deadly glare. "I don't want a word to spread about that got it Ryouta?"
"Fine, fine." Kise sighed and nodded. "No fun, Akashicchi... Well, anyway, let's get to lunch!"
Akashi nodded before following Kise to the cafeteria. The place was full of students, well it's lunch break so its not unusual, but it made Akashi think that Kuroko wouldn't come because of the big number of people that's here. The redhead sighed as he sat down with Kise and the other basketball club members at their table.
They're known to always sit at this table, so nobody else sat there, knowing the basketball team would come for lunch. Akashi opened his bento that his maids made. Come to think of it, maybe Kuroko could make him a bento someday? Akashi knew it was too early for that but maybe someday he could get his date to make him one.
Akashi smirked at the thought but just as fate would have it, Akashi spotted the person he was thinking about walk into the cafeteria with... the red monkey, which made Akashi frown.
Kise made sure to sit by Akashi, not like anyone else would dare sit next to the redhead. Just when he was about to open his own meal, he noticed Akashi staring off into the distance. He looked over and saw Kagami with Kuroko. Or... at least Kise thought it was Kuroko. Didn't Kuroko have long hair and glasses?
So he really did change his looks! Kise thought. Akashi wasn't bad at all with styling Kuroko either. "Looks like someone's with your man, Akashicchi." Kise teased quietly so no one over heard.
Akashi raised one of his eyes at Kise's direction, in a menacing glare. He looked over at his date and noticed that he and that red monkey were just about to sit down, but before they did, Akashi called out to his date.
"Kuroko!" Akashi called out and when he saw that he got the bluenette's attention, he waved his hand in a 'come here' motion.
Kuroko jumped when he heard Akashi call him. He saw that he wanted him to come over so he looked at Kagami. "Excuse me, Kagami-kun..." He didn't even wait for an answer before quickly heading over to Akashi. He didn't like it how people were staring again, probably because Akashi decided to call the nerd over.
"Yes, Akashi-san?" Kuroko said once he got there. He didn't want to call him 'Akashi-kun' and get people to wonder why he called him that rather than the usual 'san'.
Akashi smirked at the way his cute little date called him. Of course, the two of them didn't want the others to know but it was still amusing. The redhead's gaze fell back onto Kise before he pushed him out of his chair. Akashi ignored Kise's pouting and annoying blabber as he tapped on the now empty chair. "This seat is free."
Akashi ignored the stares of other students in the cafeteria along with the stares of his basketball team as he pulled Kuroko onto the chair.
"A-Akashi-san, I don't have to sit here. Really..." Kuroko mumbled. He had no idea that Akashi wanted to be seen with him like this, even if he did change his looks. "I can just eat with Kagami-kun..."
"Yeah, and where am I supposed to sit!?" Kise whined even though the redhead ignored him.
Akashi leaned on his chair so that he can see Kagami behind Kise. "Kagami Taiga!" Akashi called out to the large redhead who was really itching to come to their table to see what's going on and if Akashi is bullying Kuroko again. Kagami gladly stood up and walked over to their table.
"Sit with us." Akashi said before he averted his gaze to Kise.
"Ryouta, bring two chairs for you and Kagami Taiga to sit on." Akashi threateningly commanded the blonde.
Kagami on the other hand didn't know what to say and looked at Kuroko confusingly, he raised his eyebrow, expecting Kuroko to explain to him what's going on.
Kise grumbled a little, obviously displeased by he fact that he had to give up his seat to a nerd and get his own seat. However he tried not to show he was bothered by it and went around to get two chairs.
Kuroko didn't even look up at Kagami. He didn't know what to say. He didn't know what was going on exactly himself. "Akashi-kun... Really. This is bringing attention to this table..." He whispered to Akashi.
After hearing Kuroko's whisper, Akashi whispered back "I wanted to have lunch with you but my plans were ruined. This is the only way we can eat together for now." Akashi took his chopsticks and started eating his bento. Kagami on the other hand was confused as ever.
"Can someone tell me what's going on? I hope you don't have something up your sleeve... captain." Kagami mockingly asked Akashi, wary if this is a plan to embarrass Kuroko.
"I have nothing planned Kagami Taiga. I'm simply inviting you and Kuroko to eat lunch with us." Akashi took one more onigiri from his bento and ate it.
"I don't trust you." Kagami said as he and Akashi exchanged wary looks. If one saw them, they would wonder if Akashi and Kagami could even get along, but that's probably impossible.
Kuroko watched the two redhead quietly, his hands staying on his lap. He didn't have lunch since he usually didn't eat at school and he never packed a bento. Akashi's wish of eating together was kind of pointless since it would only be Akashi eating.
"Kagami-kun... It's alright. You can relax." He tried to reassure the other. "Nothing's going to happen."
"But-" Kagami tried to protest but knew that Kuroko is already feeling uncomfortable as it is, so Kagami decided to drop the topic and just comply with that arrogant captain's wishes. Finally, Kise came and brought two chairs for him and Kagami to sit on. Kagami sat and started eating his sandwich while looking at Akashi suspiciously.
The captain sighed and resumed eating, but when he noticed that his date didn't have any lunch, he decided to share his.
"Where is your bento? If you don't have one you can share with me." Akashi pushed his bento so that it is placed between himself and his date.
"I don't usually eat lunch... You can continue eating it. I'm not that hungry." Kuroko said, not wanting to take some of Akashi's meal away. The redhead needed to eat his food, not him. He could just eat at home or something.
"You have to eat. It's not good for you. Your body needs nourishment." Akashi picked up a meatball with his chopsticks and brought it up to Kuroko's mouth.
"Open up."
"N-Not in front of everyone." Kuroko mumbled, not looking directly at Akashi anymore.
Akashi smirked as he brought the meatball closer to Kuroko's mouth. Kuroko was gonna eat it one way or another.
"A-Akashi-san, really, it's alright." Kuroko said, moving his head away almost like a child not wanting to eat their vegetables.
"Don't make me shove it into your mouth." Akashi smirked as he whispered "Tetsuya~ would you prefer that I give it to you some other way?" Akashi smirked, hinting to his lips and a kiss.
Kuroko turned a little red when he heard Akashi. He wasn't that dense, he could understand what Akashi meant. Hesitantly he looked at Akashi with a sigh before opening his mouth slightly to accept the food.
Akashi was glad that his date complied as he slowly fed Kuroko the meatball. He enjoyed seeing Kuroko's flustered face but more so when he notices everyones shocked faces.
Kagami was bright red as he quickly stood up from his seat. "Oi! I knew you had something planned!" he pointed his finger at Akashi who frowned.
"Kagami-kun... Sit down, you're bringing attention to yourself." Kuroko pointed out, not wanting his friend to get all worked up over something like Akashi feeding him.
"But-" Kagami stared at Akashi as the two exchanged menacing glares for the second time. Kagami frowned as he sat back down. He took one bite out of his sandwich out of annoyance.
Akashi didn't care about the red monkey so he took another meatball and brought it up to Kuroko's mouth again.
Kuroko didn't like the fact that Akashi and Kagami didn't get along. Kagami was his best friend (only friend really) and Akashi was his boyfriend. It'd be a problem if they don't get along. Especially when they join the team sooner or later.
"Akashi-san... You should eat as well." He said. "I don't want to eat everything."
"Don't worry, I already ate half." Akashi said as he continued feeding his date. He spared a couple of glances at the red monkey, Kise and the others, noticing their stares. It didn't bother Akashi that much, but it still felt a bit irritating. He didn't want to continue being stared at so he decided to head to the rooftop with his date where they could enjoy their meal alone.
"I left something at the club room. Kuroko can you help me carry it?" Akashi packed his bento, well, what's left of it and stood up.
"Huh?... Sure." Kuroko mumbled and stood up. He was just glad that they wouldn't get stared at anymore. He followed Akashi out of the cafeteria and looked at the redhead. "So what did you leave?"
"Nothing~ I was thinking we could eat lunch together in peach on the rooftop." Akashi revealed as the two walked to the rooftop.
"...I see." Kuroko wondered why exactly but supposed it didn't matter. That just meant that he didn't have to be stared at. "I guess I don't mind.."
"Then let's go." But just as the two were walking down the corridor, Akashi could hear a group of students walking towards them. Akashi frowned when he saw that it was his fan club. He didn't have time for this, not now, not ever. Akashi grabbed Kuroko by the hand and started running away from his fan girls.
Kuroko almost fell from surprise when Akashi started running. "A-Akashi-kun! Why are we running?"
"Don't look behind. Its better if you don't see them." Akashi warned his date. After all, he wouldn't like to see crazy looking girls wearing strange masks running behind them.
Akashi sped up and turned into a corner, hoping to lose the fan group.
Kuroko held onto Akashi's hand tightly, deciding to heed Akashi's advice and avoid looking back. "Where are we going to hide then? I doubt we will lose them by just running..." He was already starting to feel tired from all the running.
Akashi stopped by some doors but much to his irritation, they were all locked. He and his date continued to run until Akashi spotted an open locker. It was a bizarre idea but it was this or nothing. "Get in!" Akashi told Kuroko who got inside and Akashi right after him.
The captain quickly closed the locker doors, waiting for the group of girls to run past them, but unluckily, the group slowed down and started to search for them. Looks like they will be here for a while.
Kuroko tried looking outside the locker through the small cracks, wanting to see if they were still there. He frowned when he noticed they were searching. He covered his mouth with his hand, trying not to get them caught with his heavy panting. He glanced at Akashi, feeling uncomfortable since the other was pressed against him.
Akashi looked outside as well but knowing his fan girls, the group wouldn't give up that easily. The captain sighed before facing his date, noticing that he had covered his mouth with his hand. Actually... getting stuck in a locker may not be such a bad thing.
Akashi quietly placed both of his arms on the locker, so that they trapped the bluenette between them. Then, Akashi leaned his face close to Kuroko's own.
Kuroko noticed Akashi's actions and looked at him with surprise and confusion. He wanted to ask what he was doing but he didn't want to give them away.
Akashi leaned in closer until his head was at the crook of Kuroko's neck and his lips close to his date's ear. He whispered "You smell nice~", as his breath made the bluenette get goosebumps.
"A-Akashi-kun, that's..." Kuroko trailed off, not knowing what to say. How could Akashi say such embarrassing things? Especially when they're hiding and he's trying to be quiet!
Akashi is very amused by his date's reaction, so why not use this chance to tease him some more? "Your hair is so soft," He said as his hand strokes a strand of Kuroko's now short hair. "And your eyes..." Akashi cupped Kuroko's cheeks and raised his face to look at him, "Captivate me."
Kuroko looked at Akashi in embarrassment but also slight amazement. Akashi liked all the things that he hated. Whether he was joking or not, it made Kuroko happy. He looked away, covering his mouth once more. This time he also covered his pink cheeks.
Akashi held in a small giggle that was close to escaping his lips.
"He's not here!"
"Look better! He has to be around here somewhere!" the voices outside the locker echoed in the school halls but it didn't disturb Akashi one bit.
The redhead leaned in closer, seeing how Kuroko looked away, he left his neck exposed. Akashi placed his head again in between the crook of Kuroko's neck and softly placed a small kiss on the exposed skin.
Kuroko refrained from gasping in surprise. He managed to stop himself from moving away, because he would give them away if he did. "D-Don't…"
"Why not? I know you like it." Akashi seductively whispered as he placed more kisses on Kuroko's neck. He opened one eye to notice Kuroko's flustered face. Maybe he could take it a step further so instead of kissing, the redhead decided to bite, a light bite.
Kuroko closed his eyes, shuddering slightly. He didn't make any noise, thankfully, but he did look at Akashi in surprise. He shook his head, his cheeks even more red.
After placing one light kiss, Akashi felt the need to mark his date as his. The light kiss wouldn't do it... He needed a stronger one. One that would leave his mark. Akashi bit Kuroko, harder this time but not very painfully.
This time Kuroko did make a noise. It was quiet and he managed to cover his mouth again to hide it, but he did make a noise. He didn't know how to describe the noise he made. Was it a moan? A sort of yelp? Either way, it was embarrassing.
When he heard his date's moan, Akashi couldn't help but smile in accomplishment. After the bite which left a hickey on Kuroko's neck, Akashi decided to do more so he leaned on the other side, moved away the shirt that was in the way before biting again. He made sure to bite in places that his date couldn't hide so easily, so that everyone knew that Kuroko was already taken. After all, Akashi doesn't like what is his going around unmarked.
Kuroko kept his mouth covered, even biting into his finger to prevent noises from escaping. He tried moving slightly to get Akashi to stop but he really couldn't move anywhere.
After biting a couple of times, Akashi licked the hickeys before straightening up and leaning his forehead against Kuroko's.
Kuroko looked at Akashi with embarrassment and confusion. Why did Akashi bite him and everything? Sure it felt good but... they could have been caught!
Akashi is captivated by those beautiful teal blue eyes that had caught him in their web the first time he saw then. Before he knew it, Akashi's hands made their way slowly under Kuroko's shirt.
Kuroko gasped again, but he didn't cover it this time. The touch surprised him and even startled him. Startled him enough to reach down and gently grasp Akashi's arms. He looked at him before looking away.
The mist disappeared from Akashi's eyes as he came back to his senses. Lust and desire completely took over, he didn't even know what he was doing. Akashi quickly took his hands out of Kuroko's shirt as he heard noises outside the locker.
"Oi! Did you hear that?"
"What?"
"Hmmm... Just my imagination?" one girls sighs.
"Let's go. He's not here so lets search somewhere else." And with that, Akashi's fan group slowly made their way to other parts of the school. Meanwhile, Akashi leaned back as far away as he could from his date. Lust had taken over him completely; this is a first for the redhead who didn't experience anything like this in the past.
Kuroko noticed the girls were gone but he didn't say anything. He didn't want to move from his spot. What was Akashi doing? What was he going to do? He didn't necessarily hate the touch... He was just startled, right? He noticed how much Akashi moved away (which wasn't much since the locker was small) and frowned a little. He didn't want things to be awkward between them. So with a little hesitancy, he gently took Akashi's cheeks into his hands so he could pull him closer and kiss him.
Akashi was startled by the sudden kiss but complied nonetheless. The kiss quickly developed into a deep one as Akashi threw his body again forwards towards the bluenette. The kiss was savoring, long and gentle, getting them both lost on when to stop. They would stop a couple of times of air before continuing.
Kuroko enjoyed the kiss once more. When Akashi kissed him, it was always so nice and gentle. Except their first kiss of course but that wasn't bad either. That reminded Kuroko, when would their next date be? He decided to ask later and to just focus on returning the kiss now. After all, he had to get better so he could make Akashi feel good too.
Akashi enjoyed the kiss as much as Kuroko did. He was savoring every moment of it. Finally after a while, the two parted while panting heavily. Akashi looked up to see his date's flustered face. He always enjoyed seeing it after their kisses.
Kuroko looked at Akashi with slight embarrassment but he didn't look away. He was always glad to share special kisses with Akashi. "Akashi-kun... Will we go on another date soon?" He asked curiously.
Akashi smiled as he brushed away some bangs off Kuroko's face, gently caressing his date. "Of course, you name it and we'll go anywhere and anytime you want. I would do anything for my Tetsuya." Akashi felt accomplishment because it is Kuroko now who is asking for a date. Maybe he will win the bluenette's heart after all.
"I'm not good at dates though... Akashi-kun is better at picking locations for dates. After all, he did think of the arcade." Kuroko reminded Akashi.
Akashi hummed in thought, its not like he's an expert... the arcade was actually Kise's idea. The thought of bringing Kuroko to an expensive restaurant did cross his mind but perhaps it would scare his date away. So far no plausible ideas came to mind so Akashi decided to ask his date again.
"Are you sure? Isn't there something you always wanted to do with your boyfriend/girlfriend? Anything is fine."
Kuroko tried thinking of something that wouldn't upset Akashi. He always heard that dates usually walk through parks together and went to watch movies or would go out to eat... Would Akashi like any of those? "...We could always... Watch a movie I guess? Together...?"
"Sounds good. How about this Sunday? I'll pick you up." Akashi continued caressing his date's soft hair.
Kuroko leaned into the touch. Before he never liked anyone touching his hair since it always got messed up, but now he enjoyed even the simplest of touches. Especially from Akashi. "Sounds good. I'm always free.."
"Always? Is that your way of telling me you want to spend more time with me?" Akashi teasingly smirked.
"More like I never do anything... B-But I don't mind spending more time with Akashi-kun either!" Kuroko said quickly. Great now he sounded like an ungrateful boyfriend. "...Can we get out of here?"
"Don't worry love, I understand." Akashi said before slowly opening the doors of the locker, he got out first and after him his date. He looked at his wristwatch to notice that it was almost time for the lessons to begin. "We should go to our classrooms. I'll come to your training after my duties are over."
"Alright." Kuroko almost forgot about all the training they were going to do. He couldn't wait to continue their training.
Like they agreed, they went through their classes and trained together after school. Kuroko trained hard like always and Akashi either praised him or gave him advice. Kuroko was happy with either one.
Eventually they had to go home before it got too late. They did exchange numbers so they could text or call in case anything happened and the date had to be cancelled or rain checked.
Kuroko headed home like usual and everything was normal. Although once he got inside his house, he felt more tired than usual. He supposed it was just because of training and forgot about it. He headed to bed early that night so he could get extra rest.
When it became morning the next day, Kuroko practically didn't want to get up. He felt awful. He had a small headache, nothing big, but his nose was stuffy which was always annoying. When his mother checked on him since he didn't get up for school, she said he should stay home for the day and the fever should go away.
He heeded her advice and rested at home while his parents went to work for the day. He slept for most of the day so that's why he didn't answer Akashi's texts. He only checked the messages when it was late at night and finally able to fully wake up. He still felt groggy but decided to send Akashi a message.
'Just taking a day to rest. I'll be fine tomorrow.'
He thought wrong the next morning when he woke up. He felt worse than before. Perhaps he really was sick? Impossible! He rarely got sick! He couldn't be sick... He couldn't miss days of school like this. Once more his mother made him stay home. This time he sent Akashi a message in the morning, before school would start.
'Thought wrong. Mother thinks I'm sick.'
He sent to Akashi with a sigh. Perhaps he could ask Akashi to come after school... But then he would get sick. He didn't want to make Akashi sick.
Kuroko didn't know how much time has passed until he heard a familiar sound. Was that... A doorbell? It couldn't be his parents. They left not long ago to go to work. Besides, they wouldn't ring the doorbell. He considered staying in bed but what if it was one of his parents and they forgot their keys to get in the house?
Slowly he got up, coughing slightly at the slow movements. He slowly made his way downstairs and to the door. He was really curious of who it could be. He made sure to cover his mouth with his sleeve before slowly opening the door.
"Good morning." As the bluenette opened the door, the one who stood in front of him was no other than his date - Akashi. The redhead was in his school uniform standing in front of the sick bluenette. Akashi raised his eyebrow at his date's condition. "Are you sick?"
"I'm not sick. I don't get sick." Kuroko said behind his sleeve. He sniffles a little so his nose didn't keep running. "Why are you here? What about school?" He asked in concern.
Akashi spared a couple of looks at his date before sighing. "You're sick. Let's get you inside, you can't stand outside in the cold." Akashi said before making his way inside and closing the doors behind him. "I came to check on you and it turns out it was the right choice. I'll skip school for today to tend to you."
"You don't need to... what if you get ill?" Kuroko asked with a frown. "I can take care of myself, you need to go to school."
Akashi looked around the house, "You're alone right? Let me take care of you Tetsuya. It's alright if I skip one day."
"But..." Kuroko trailed off and sighed. He didn't think he could change Akashi's mind. "Well, my parents are at work so... Do you want anything?" He was raised to be polite whether he wasn't feeling well or not.
"No. First let's get you to bed." Akashi put his bag down and hanged his coat before following Kuroko to his room.
Kuroko sighed once more and went to his room. He sneezed a little on his way up and shook his head. This cold came on so suddenly. He didn't know why at all. Although he did know one thing... He was so anxious about Akashi being in his house. Did he like it? Was his room clean enough for Akashi to come in? The first time Akashi comes into his house and it's because he's sick. He felt so guilty once he got to his room.
Akashi noticed Kuroko wobbling a bit. Knowing his date, he is probably nervous of him coming to his house and the impressions it left. But on the contrary Akashi didn't care at all. All that matters is that his date gets better. When they reach Kuroko's room, Akashi looks for the bed and walks his date to it.
He helps Kuroko lay down before bringing a chair to sit next to him. "Do you need anything?"
Kuroko looked at Akashi while rubbing his tired eyes. Being sick sucks because you're always tired. "...I am a little hungry..." He couldn't make food for himself and his parents were in a rush to get to work so he was just going to wait until his parents got home to eat.
"Would you like some miso soup? I get praised for how good it is often." Akashi suggested.
"I guess... Akashi-kun can make himself some as well." Kuroko mumbled. He felt so guilty, making Akashi cook all the food while he just lays in bed.
Akashi chuckled, knowing Kuroko felt embarrassed for having someone else serve him in his own house. "Don't worry about it. I'll go ahead and make it." Akashi adjusted Kuroko's pillow and tuck him in before walking up to the door and out into the kitchen.
It was easy finding the kitchen since the house itself was pretty small. Once inside the kitchen, Akashi proceeded to make the miso soup. Of course he would be the best at making it. It is his favorite food after all. Akashi got out the pan and everything he needed before cooking the meal.
After about thirty minutes, the meal was done so Akashi took a tray he found in the kitchen, and put the miso soup, hot tea and medications on it before picking it up and carrying it to his date's room.
Akashi opened the room and walked over to his date, placing the tray full of hot food on the bedside table.
"Dig in. I hope you like it."
"Ah... Thank you." Kuroko mumbled, slowly sitting up. He couldn't believe Akashi actually came to his house to take care of him. He was definitely a kind boyfriend. "It smells nice." He said as he carefully took the bowl of soup.
Akashi helped Kuroko by handing him the soup when his date sat up. After giving the meal to his date, Akashi eagerly waited for Kuroko's opinion on his cooking.
Kuroko thanked him before slowly taking a small sip with the spoon in case it was too hot. He sighed in relief when it wasn't too hot. It was tasty as well. "It's good... You're good at cooking."
Akashi smiled after hearing Kuroko's compliment. "I'm glad to hear that." Akashi said as he watched his date silently eat. "I can't wait to try Tetsuya's cooking."
"You don't want to try my cooking." Kuroko mumbled. His cooking was horrible. He barely knew how to cook. He mind end up poisoning Akashi or something. "Where is Akashi-kun's food…?"
Akashi raised an eyebrow. "Even so I would like to try. I'm sure its not that bad. And you don't have to worry. I already ate at home before I left." True to his word Akashi really did eat at home. It was demanded by his father that he eats with him every morning.
"I see." Kuroko looked back down at his meal. "I guess I'll make you something one day. I'm not sure if you'll enjoy it though." Perhaps he could get Akashi to teach him? Nonsense. Akashi was already helping him so much. Maybe he'd secretly ask Kagami and then he could surprise Akashi with a nice meal... He liked that plan.
"I'll wait for it then."
While Kuroko was eating, Akashi observed his room. He spotted a number of basketball themed posters and a ball as well. "You really like it... basketball. No wonder you're so persistent on joining. I wonder if you would give up if it weren't for Kagami Taiga. Is he your only determination for trying every day or is it something more?"
"Well... I guess most of it is because of Kagami-kun... He does love basketball and he won't join unless I do. I don't want him to give up something he loves for me, so that's why I tried hard. But... I do love basketball myself and I try improving almost everyday but... I'm just not good at improving I guess." Kuroko explained softly.
"I see" Akashi raised his hand to his chin. "But it's not true that you're not improving. You just didn't know what to improve. You see... As I told you before, your case is very special. With that, your training and method of improvement would be different from others. There was no way you could improve by normal standards."
Kuroko looked at Akashi before sighing softly. "Akashi-kun really is smart. I've been trying to improve for years and couldn't do it and you spotted me and instantly knew what to do." He looked back at Akashi again with a small smile. "I'm thankful though. Thank you for everything you've done so far."
When Akashi saw Kuroko's warm smile, he felt as if an arrow had struck him from behind. However, that arrow also contained something else... guilt. Suddenly, the memories of what he had done to Kuroko flashed in front of him, making him lower his head down in shame.
"It's nothing... But Tetsuya." Akashi looked upwards at his date.
"I'm sorry for what happened at the gym the other day. I know you won't forgive me but let me make it up to you. I truly feel responsible for what happened. Sorry."
Kuroko tilted his head a little while staring at Akashi. He's never seen the redhead look so sorry before. He didn't like this look or feeling of it on Akashi. "Well... You weren't the only one who bullied me. I mean, I can't blame anyone. I was practically asking for rejection, huh? But you did help stop the bullying so... I accept you apology."
Akashi tilted his head upwards to look at his date with a small smile. "Thank you but I still feel responsible. Let me make it up to you."
"You already did by stopping the bullying, you know." Kuroko said. "Really, it's alright. You already made it up to me."
Akashi raised his right hand to stroke Kuroko's hair strands gently. "But I still feel the need to do it. Call it... A feeling of duty?"
Kuroko closed his eyes as he leaned into the touch once more. "Then I guess I can't stop you." He smiled softly. "... It's weird though. Before, when my hair was long, I didn't like anyone touching it. Now... I enjoy it when someone touches my hair. Especially with Akashi-kun…"
Akashi's smile widened as he leaned in to kiss Kuroko's hair. "Is that a compliment?" The redhead landed another kiss on Kuroko's head gently.
"Of course." Kuroko felt himself relax more at the simple kisses. "Although you shouldn't get too close or else you might get sick too."
"I don't care." the redhead raised his legs onto the bed so that he was laying down with his date. He then closed his eyes as he put his arms around Kuroko. "I was already deprived of you yesterday. You need to make it up to me."
"Sorry." Kuroko apologized. He didn't expect Akashi to come on his bed to lay with him. He felt his cheeks burn when Akashi held him. "W-What does Akashi-kun want me to do…?"
The redhead snuggled beside his date. He made himself comfortable as he held Kuroko in his arms. "Stay with me. That's all I'm asking for." Akashi closed his eyes as he slowly drifted to sleep. School duties were tiring, what's more, since Kuroko wasn't in school yesterday, Akashi felt really, really empty.
Who knew he could grow so attached to Kuroko in such a short period of time. That's why when Kuroko had messaged him saying he won't come to school today either, Akashi had to come to his date's house. And when Kuroko opened the doors, colors came back to Akashi's eyes.
Maybe this is what love feels like? Akashi wondered as he fell asleep.
Kuroko didn't expect the other to fall asleep. Now that he's thought about it, he's never seen Akashi so relaxed. He seemed relaxed during their date a few days ago but when Akashi was sleeping... It was quite adorable, actually.
"I won't leave." He murmured even though Akashi was asleep. Even if Akashi's body heat combined with his overheated body became uncomfortable, Kuroko didn't move. He stayed awake to watch Akashi sleep or would relax and close his eyes so he could imagine them having more wonderful dates.
He didn't know how long he's been asleep (or when he even fell asleep), but Kuroko could only hear one thing. The annoying sound of a doorbell. Who could that be if Akashi was right beside him?
He glanced at the time and he froze. The most obvious and likely answer would have to be his parents. He wasn't sure if they'd be too kind about having Akashi in his room while he was sick. Plus they were alone. "Akashi-kun." He whispered, gently shaking the boy's shoulder.
"Hmmm~" Akashi hummed, leaning onto his date.
"Akashi-kun," Kuroko tried again. "If you don't mind... Can you please get up? I think it's time for you to go.."
"Go?" The redhead is still half asleep but he managed to hear this one word. Not intending to get up, he tiredly put his arms around Kuroko and pulled him towards himself so that he rested beside him, pressed to his chest.
Kuroko turned a little red at the affectionate but clingy hug. Now was not the time to get embarrassed! "Unless you want to meet my parents now, I think Akashi-kun should get up."
Akashi hummed as he pressed Kuroko further into his chest. Not fully realizing the content of the message. "I don't mind~ Let them see." He put his head on top of Kuroko's, smelling the sweet scent of Kuroko's shampoo.
Kuroko felt more embarrassed at the moment when Akashi snuggled into him more. Honestly, Akashi was so cute when tired. However it wasn't time to think about how cute his boyfriend was. His parents must be getting impatient by now, even if they knew their son is sick. "Akash-kun... If you don't get up I'll... I'll..." What will get the redhead to move? "I'll... probably get sick all over you." He decided to say.
"Hmmm~~ Nice try Tetsuya~" Akashi cupped Kuroko's cheeks, moving his head slightly away so that he could see his date's face. He didn't say anything but just looked into Kuroko's panicked eyes. Akashi smirked before slowly moving his head, closer, closer, closer and finally gently kissing his date. Not caring at all that he's sick.
Kuroko gasped slightly in surprise, not expecting the sudden kiss. He pulled away just enough to speak. "A-Akashi-kun, you'll get sick! And you need to go because my parents are currently waiting for me to open the door…"
Akashi frowned, connecting their lips again. He let the kiss do the talking for him, as he gently pressed Kuroko against him.
Kuroko sighed a little into the kiss. Who knew Akashi was so stubborn and cute when tired? He was so tempted to just lay back and let the kiss go on and on but he couldn't. His parents might think he's dead or something if he takes too long. So he did what he thought would work. He placed his hands on Akashi's back before quickly dragging his nails down while lightly biting Akashi's tongue. It wouldn't hurt too much but it would sting for a few moments.
If Kuroko thought this would stop the captain, then he was dead wrong. On the contrary, it turned the redhead on even more. Akashi returned the action, making the kiss become animalistic with biting and teasing. He roughly pushed his date further to his chest, his hands clawing Kuroko's back as well.
Kuroko couldn't stop the noise that left his throat when Akashi became rough. It was the same noise he made when the two were stuck in the locker, but much louder. He arched into Akashi a little, feeling Akashi claw at his back, which didn't hurt but oddly felt good. "A... Akashi-kun!" He said one more time to get the redheads attention.
Akashi hummed into the kiss. He couldn't stop... He didn't want to stop but he had to for Kuroko. The redhead bit Kuroko's lower lip and clawed one last time before ending the kiss. Saliva connected their lips as the two moved away. Akashi smirked as he looked at his date's swollen lips. "We'll continue this later." Akashi teasingly said as he stood up from the bed.
Kuroko breathed heavily once they parted. He stared at Akashi, wondering if he was planning to tease him like that the whole time. At least he learned something from that experience. Turns how Akashi enjoyed rough feedback. "...I-I need to go answer the door..." He mumbled, still feeling a little breathless as he stood up.
Akashi hummed, looking around the room. He couldn't get out of the first window but maybe he could through the second one that is facing the back garden. What's more, there is a tree he could climb on so he doesn't fall.
Akashi approached the window and opened it. He then turned around to face his date but when he noticed his heavy breathing, Akashi walked over to him. "Tetsuya are you feeling alright? Is your fever down?"
"I'm okay... You were just a little overwhelming is all..." After all, this is Kuroko's first relationship. That meant this was his first at everything. "You need to go, really."
Akashi looked at his date and only once he made sure that Kuroko would be fine, he raised his hand to stroke Kuroko's teal hair. "See you tomorrow?" with a nod from Kuroko, Akashi took his leave. He jumped out of the window and onto the tree. He climbed down to the garden.
He turned around to see Kuroko looking out of he window. Akashi smirked, blowing a kiss teasingly before quietly making his leave.
Kuroko was tempted to throw something at Akashi but he had nothing to throw. He sighed before leaving quickly to answer the door. It was his parents who looked a little impatient but also worried. After explaining that he was taking a bath, his parents said it was alright. Akashi was lucky because if he got in trouble, Akashi would be the one hearing it.
