This is a roleplay story done by KurokoTetsuya101 and The Lucky Bell.
A few days passed and Kuroko's hand is getting better and better. He didn't have any trouble getting around but with Akashi insisting to help him, he complied. Not surprisingly, Akashi got along quite well with Kuroko's parents. Especially his father who often challenged him to a match of shogi, saying something like 'finally finding a good opponent'. Of course, he lost every time to the redhead.
Shiori was tougher to crack because of the first impression Akashi made on the first day of his stay when she caught them kissing. She made him sleep on the couch and caught them every time Akashi tried to make a move on his lover. Akashi would apologize every time and pull back, not wanting to be on Shiori's bad side.
But over all, their time at the house was enjoyable. Akashi loved spending time with Kuroko, imagining the time when one day they would buy an apartment for themselves and live together.
Finally, Kuroko was ready to go back to school. He missed a lot so he is eager to go back and catch up to his class. What's more, he didn't get to see Kagami for a while now, so he really missed the large redhead.
On the other hand, Akashi wasn't as optimistic and prepared for the worst. Who knows what his father's next move could be.
"You know, now that you will be living at my house for a little while, I just realized we will be able to walk to school together." Kuroko smiled happily as they neared the school. He knew he'd need to work hard to catch up but it wouldn't be a problem for him.
"Yes but your mother did say that it was for a little while. I'll have to find another place to stay." Akashi remembered Shiori's words from a while back. She allowed him to live with them for a short period of time but then Akashi will have to find a place of his own. Maybe he has some cash in his bank account which he could use to rent an apartment?
"I know. But until then," Kuroko held Akashi's hand with his good one. "Walk with me to school and snuggle with me whenever my mother isn't looking."
Akashi smiled at the last comment. "She sure does catch us every single time. I'm impressed." Akashi remembered the times he and Kuroko would cuddle or even do innocent kisses, but every single time Shiori would catch them. It's as if she has some sort of protective motherly sense to alert her.
"If I rent an apartment, would you move in with me? It would be just temporary but we could snuggle longer."
"Of course. If my parents would allow me to that is." Kuroko laughed softly as he imagined his mother refusing while his father approved. They finally arrived to school but Kuroko kept a hold on Akashi's hand. "I would love to live with Akashi-kun one day."
Akashi turned so that he faced Kuroko head on. "Tetsuya, I'm serious about you. Please come live with me once we graduate." The redhead asked, more serious than ever.
"I'm serious too." Kuroko reassured with a soft smile. "I meant it when I said I wouldn't mind living with Akashi-kun one day."
"Is that a yes?" Akashi asked teasingly. Happy about the fact that Kuroko had accepted to live with him in the future.
"Of course." Kuroko nodded. "Now come on, let's get inside."
Akashi nodded as he followed Kuroko inside the school building. The school day was ordinary just like any other. The two had lunch together and then by the end of the day, everyone gathered for practice. Of course, Kuroko came but was forced to sit on the bench and watch due to his hand.
After a short while, the doors to the gym opened. The team didn't look since they had to practice and if they stopped without Akashi's permission, they'd surely receive hell. However Akashi and Kuroko looked and they saw it was the principal.
Kuroko was confused when only he was called over. He got up nonetheless and walked over. Akashi only watched until he saw Kuroko's face turn from confused to surprised, which was a rare face for the boy. "Expelled?" Kuroko asked in shock. What did he do to get expelled?
"Yes. I'm sorry Kuroko-kun but you'll be expelled from this day onwards. Please gather your belongings and leave." The principal looked down on the teal head. A saddened expression on his face.
"But why? I need to know why exactly." Kuroko insisted firmly.
"That is confidential. I'm sorry but I cannot tell you more. Pack up your things and leave." The principal said with a firm voice.
On the sidelines, Akashi watched the two before walking towards them. When he got closer, he heard the word 'expelled', which startled him. He fast paced to stand beside Kuroko before speaking up to the principal.
"Expelled? Why is Tetsuya expelled?" Akashi had a hint at who the real culprit might be but wants to confirm his guess.
"That is of no importance." The principal pressed.
"Yes it is. Is it my father?" And Akashi pressed further. In response, the man looked down before turning away.
"I'm sorry." The principal said before taking off, leaving the gym. When he left, Akashi clenched is fists as he looked at the principal's retreating figure.
Kuroko didn't know what to say or do. If the person responsible was Akashi's father, then how did he do it? How did he convince the principal to expel him when he never did anything wrong. Suddenly he remembered over a month ago, when he was still a nerd, Akashi said something about how his father financially supported this school. He frowned a little to himself, now stuck on what to do.
The practice stopped after hearing the conversation and having their captain pay attention to someone else. While the others were too afraid to approach the angry redhead, Kise walked up to him slowly. "What's going on? Kurokocchi is expelled?" Did he perhaps hear wrong?
Akashi kept looking at the doors of the gym, analyzing his plans and course of action. There was silence before Akashi spoke up again, "No, he's not." He calmly stated as he took Kuroko's hand.
"We need to go Tetsuya. We're leaving early today."
Kise looked at them in confusion. He could have sworn he heard talk about Kuroko being expelled. Perhaps he just heard wrong.
"What about practice?" Kuroko asked. "The Winter Cup is coming soon, everyone needs to practice.."
"We need to take care of a matter first." Akashi walked towards the doors before turning around to face the team.
"Everyone else, I expect you to carry on with practice. If I find out you've been slacking off, there will be worse waiting for you in the next month or so. Get to work!" and with Akashi's words, all of the members of the basketball team returned to practice, not wanting to experience the hell if they don't.
"What are you planning to do then, Akashi-kun?" How would Akashi get the principal to reconsider expelling him? If Akashi's father was the reason then... Akashi wasn't planning to confront his father, was he?
"We're going to my father's office. It's about time we face him." Akashi said as he and Kuroko walked out into the school hallways and then out onto the school grounds.
Akashi took his phone from his pocked before dialing a number. "Hello? Tanaka please come pick me up." Akashi said before hanging up and dragging Kuroko outside the school and onto the corner of an intersection. He looked around before spotting the tallest skyscraper in the city. "That's the Akashi Corporation and the place we're going to." Akashi told his date as he pointed at the said building.
"A-Are you sure?" Isn't this all too sudden? What were they supposed to do, just barge in there and demand for him to let Kuroko return to school? "Don't we need a plan or something?"
Akashi turned to face his date, holding both of his hands comfortably, "We have a plan. You just need to trust me Tetsuya. I won't let you get expelled. Not on my watch. We're ending this today." Akashi looked into the teal blue eyes to reassure his lover that everything will be fine and that he can handle this. He just needs Kuroko to believe.
Kuroko looked at Akashi's eyes that held so much confidence. He just hoped Akashi wasn't digging a grave for himself by doing this... "Alright. I'll believe you…"
Akashi smiled before leaning in for a small kiss, but just as he did, the sound of a car approaching was heard in the distance.
"You won't regret it." Akashi said as a black limousine stopped on the street beside them. An elderly man, a butler by the looks of his clothes, stepped out of the car before approaching the two lovers. He bowed as much as his old back would allow before looking up at Kuroko and Akashi.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting master Akashi. And..."
"Kuroko Tetsuya. He's my lover." Akashi introduced his most loyal butler to Kuroko who nodded in return.
"Pleased to meet you Kuroko-sama." The butler bowed at Kuroko before facing Akashi again. "We should head out young master." and with Akashi's nod, the elderly man got back into the drivers seat.
Akashi opened the doors for Kuroko, "After you."
"...So fancy." Kuroko mumbled to himself in slight disbelief. He knew Akashi was rich but sometimes he forgot just how rich. He slowly got into the car and waited for Akashi to join him.
Once Akashi was inside and they were on the road, he leaned on the other. "What if he doesn't budge? What will you say to him, Akashi-kun?"
"He will. He'll accept my terms without any complains. After all, the future of the company depends on it." Akashi leaned his head as well on top of Kuroko's, closing his eyes as if to calm himself before the storm that awaits them at the office.
Kuroko hoped Akashi was right. He didn't want the redhead to suffer because of him. He closed his eyes, trying to imagine a nice future for them if they managed to succeed in convincing Akashi's father to accept their relationship.
The car neared the Akashi corporation building, and finally stopped at the entrance. Kuroko looked outside the car window to see many people dressed elegantly entering the said building. Akashi face palmed, forgetting that there is a ball held today on the ground floor.
But luckily his father's office is at the very top so they won't be disturbed. Akashi and Kuroko got out of the car with the help of Tanaka and made their way into the building.
Akashi calmly walked inside while Kuroko was a bit nervous of his surroundings, especially the many rich people that were present.
"A-Akashi-kun... Maybe we can go at a later time?" He didn't feel so well being surrounded in fancy clothing and rich people. He just felt so out of place with his less fancy clothing and his cast on his arm.
"It's now or never Tetsuya." Akashi said as he grabbed Kuroko's good hand and proceeded walking into the building. The two reached the elevator and while waiting for it to come, a group of rich women at the sidelines saw the bluenette and started giggling at his poor appearance.
Kuroko heard the giggles and glanced over. He frowned and looked down, trying to ignore it. He wanted to tell Akashi he didn't like this place, but he couldn't annoy Akashi like that. So he just kept his attention to the ground, his hand holding Akashi's tightly.
The elevator finally arrived and the two entered. Akashi pressed the button of the last floor as the elevator slowly went up. To be honest, Akashi wasn't nervous at all, on the contrary, he is full of confidence that they will succeed.
The elevator stopped at the last floor and the two got out. The floor was empty except for the reception desk and huge doors further back. There was a receptionist at the desk who nodded when she saw Akashi enter before continuing her phone call. Akashi nodded back and walked with Kuroko to the large doors.
Akashi squeezed Kuroko's hand before entering the room, not even bothering to knock.
The room they entered is huge. Well, it did occupy the whole top floor of the building. Windows on all sides, showing the magnificent view of Tokyo, also surround it.
Kuroko was momentarily amazed by what's outside the Windows. Did Tokyo really look this beautiful from do high up? He wished he could look outside more, especially during the night when the city is bright with lights, but they couldn't now. It was time to finally confront Akashi's father.
He relaxed his hand in Akashi's but still held it tightly. He looked at Akashi, trying to reassure them both even though he was sure he was the only one nervous there.
Akashi smiled at his lover before turning to face a black chair, which is turned around to face the windows, its back facing Akashi and Kuroko.
"You didn't knock. Such ill manner-" the elder Akashi turned his chair around but was surprised when he saw his son with... that filthy boy!
"What are you doing here?" the voice was so cold that it could pierce through the air.
"We're here to negotiate." Akashi spoke up, squeezing Kuroko's hand.
"Negotiate? There is nothing for us to talk about." Seito dismissed and turned his chair to the side to look outside. However, he didn't turn around completely but so that on one side he could see Tokyo and the other his son and his supposed lover.
"Please listen." Kuroko said, stepping forward a little while keeping a hold on Akashi's hand. "We only want to talk. We don't need to bring ill feelings in here. Just please give us a chance to speak."
"Silence! I don't want to hear another word from you!" Seito raised his voice, almost standing up from his chair before sitting back on.
The elder Akashi took one deep breath to calm himself before speaking up again. "The Akashi Corporation and the entire Akashi family is in peril because of you. Don't you realize what you've done?"
"Found someone who loves me and someone who I can love back?" Kuroko replied. He sighed a little and decided to keep calm for this talk. "If I may ask, how is your family and corporation in trouble?" He wasn't asking it sarcastically or anything. He wanted to hear what the elder Akashi really thought.
"So selfish. You're only thinking about yourself. Not how your relationship with my son affects others. For example your parents as well." Seito narrowed his eyes while looking at Kuroko before standing up and walking to the window. He put his hands behind his back and looked outside. Akashi kept quiet for the time being.
"We were going to do great things. The Akashi Corporation is one of the biggest companies in the whole Japan. Do you know what it means? No, of course not. You only care about yourself!" Seito looked to the side at Kuroko before turning back.
"Not only am I losing my company, but I'm also losing my son. You see, without Seijuro the company is crumbling to pieces."
Akashi didn't say anything but kept looking at his father's figure. The Akashi Company withheld its prestige but once Seijuro came, it had developed further, reached new heights. Now without him, it would be safe to assume that it would really crumble to pieces.
"But you aren't losing your son." Kuroko insisted, ignoring what the other said about selfishness. "He may be with me but that doesn't mean you're losing him. He just wants you to accept our relationship. Nothing bad will happen if you allow us to be together. Your son will be happy and you'll still have your company."
Seito clenched his fists but with a deep sigh, calmed down again.
Finally Akashi decided it was time to speak up, "And that's our deal. You will support our relationship and in return, I will come back to the Akashi Corporation. Seeing as it is near collapse, I would say it's a fair trade."
Seito turned around to look at his son. He noticed Seijuro's determined look and the way he is holding his lover's hand tightly. He looked at Kuroko again before sitting back on his chair.
The silence overtook the room again before Seito spoke up, "Don't be stupid Seijuro. You can't be with him. He's a male; what's more he's a commoner. He is not of the same class as you."
"That doesn't matter. All that matters is that I love him and that I want to spend the rest of my life with him." Akashi counterattacked, making Seito twitch in his seat.
"There is one more problem. The Akashi Corporation needs an heir. How on earth will you provide him?"
Kuroko stayed quiet for a moment, trying to think. He wouldn't support Akashi doing some girl for a heir. He knew Akashi wouldn't want to do that either. What would they do about that?
"Wait.." He mumbled to himself. Isn't there something people can do when they want a child but can't have any? He forgot what it's called but he was sure that they would be able to do it. He pulled Akashi closer to whisper his idea. After a moment of explaining, he tilted his head. "Would that work?"
Akashi nodded in approval before facing his father again, "We'll get a surrogate mother. This way you will have a heir for the company." Akashi looked at his father's now surprised face.
"However, that choice is entirely up to us. Also, I would not make our children do what they don't want to do." Akashi couldn't imagine forcing the company onto his and Kuroko's children. He just wouldn't do it.
On the other hand, Seito is surprised at what lengths his son would go to be with the bluenette. Seito closed his eyes while smirking. It really must be fate that the child of his high school crush is the one his son would marry. Fate is such a cruel and funny thing.
"I see how determined you are. Very well, I shall allow you to be together."
Kuroko almost couldn't believe his ears. Did Seito really agree to their relationship? So everything was alright with them now?
He wanted to hug Akashi tightly, maybe even kiss him, but he didn't want to do that in front of Akashi's father. "Thank you.." He murmured with a small smile of relief towards Akashi. Then he remembered something important. "But... What do I do about school? I need to get back into school…"
"I'll make the phone call. Consider yourself a student of Teiko again." Seito told Kuroko who brightened up with the news.
Akashi smiled at Kuroko and kept on smiling while facing his father. "Thank you father. Then we'll be off. Would you mind if we join the ball?"
"Do as you please." Seito sighed as he waved the two of them off. Akashi smirked before walking away with Kuroko. However, before they could exit, Seito called out to Kuroko once again.
"You should have a talk with your parents as well Kuroko. I'm sure Shiori supports your relationship but I can tell that you didn't talk about it thoroughly. Take it as an advice from a fellow parent."
Kuroko hesitantly nodded to Seito. Maybe the other was right... Maybe he should just make sure his mother was alright with everything. Now that they exited the room, he looked at Akashi. "The ball?" He suddenly asked. He was not dressed for a ball! Those ladies from before we're laughing at him, he couldn't go back! "I'm not dressed for a ball…"
Akashi smirked before placing a small kiss on Kuroko's lips. "Of course we'll get you some suitable clothes. After all, we're both in our school uniforms." Akashi took Kuroko's hand, leading him to his office. Luckily his office is just below his father's so they didn't have to take the elevator but just walk down the stairs.
The two walked down before standing in front of black doors. Akashi took out a card from his pocked before swiping it across the security system. Once the device beeped green in approval, the two entered the room.
"This is my office."
"You have your own office?" Kuroko asked as he looked around in amazement. When he saw that Akashi's office was kind of like his father's with the Windows, he went over to the Windows. He was glad he finally got a better look outside. It definitely looked beautiful.
He then turned to face Akashi. "So... you have clothes here?"
Akashi nodded before approaching a door to his left. He opened it to reveal a large closet packed with all sorts of suits and attire. Well, when you work the entire day, you have to have spare clothes. Not to mention that you have to be prepared for different kinds of meetings, which require different sorts of clothing. First impression is very important.
Kuroko tilted his head, not sure how to react. Should he be amazed at how prepared Akashi was, or amused that he actually had so much formal attire? "If they're yours, they'll be a little big on me…"
"They'll be a bit big for you but I think you'll manage. We have to make do with what we have." Akashi entered the room and searched for a suitable suit. When he found the right one he approached Kuroko and leaned the clothes onto him to see how it would approximately look.
"This would suit you." Akashi chose a white suit with a blue tie that is matching the color of Kuroko's teal blue eyes.
"I guess. But as long as I have..." Kuroko trailed off, glancing at his cast. The people downstairs would laugh at him. He'll look ridiculous wearing a cast with a suit!
"It'll be fine. You're wearing it because you're injured. It doesn't matter what the others think." Akashi looked down at the cast and wondered if it could go through the sleeve of the suit.
"I'm not even sure if I'll be able to wear a suit with it on." What would he do about the sleeve? He couldn't even think about cutting it. It would look weird and he'd ruin one of Akashi's suits.
"Well, the suit is a bit bigger so maybe it could go through?" Its Akashi's suit so perhaps Kuroko's cast would fit? Akashi gently and carefully took Kuroko's cast and slowly put it in the sleeve. He pulled and much to their luck, it did fit!
"See? Nothing to worry about."
"I-I see. That's good then.." Kuroko wasn't so sure but he supposed there was nothing to stop Akashi now. "Only for Akashi-kun."
The things I do for this guy. Kuroko thought with a mental sigh.
"I'm honored~" Akashi kneeled down, taking Kuroko's good hand into his own as he brought it to his lips and placed a small chaste kiss on it. Akashi smirked as he looked at Kuroko's flustered face.
"Do you need help with the rest?" Akashi asked, knowing that with the cast it will be hard to do anything.
"Akashi-kun doesn't have to help." Kuroko said, trying not to blush too much at Akashi's actions. "It's just a cast, I can do it.."
Akashi looked into Kuroko's eyes with a smirk but decided to leave the teal head alone for now. "Alright. Tell me if you need anything. I'll have to change as well."
Akashi walked to the closet and immersed himself in finding the right outfit.
Kuroko watched him go and only until Akashi was gone did he change. He carefully tried putting on the suit which wasn't the hard part. However the tie was hard to do with a cast on. He wanted to ask Akashi but he refused to give up so easily just because he had a cast.
Meanwhile, Akashi found an elegant black suit with a grey tie to go along with it. Its his favorite suit and would use it for his first dance with his lover. Akashi dressed in no time, finishing the last touch that is the tie.
He glanced over at Kuroko and smiled when he noticed that he was having trouble with the tie. "Need any help?" Akashi approached Kuroko who seemed set on doing it by himself. That determination to never give up is one of Kuroko's qualities that he loves the most.
"No." Kuroko responded immediately. He was determined not to let the cast get in the way. If he couldn't tie a tie, he definitely couldn't dance in front lots of rich and elegant people..
Akashi smirked and leaned on the wall to amusingly watch his date struggle. After a few minutes Akashi decided to help his poor date. He approached Kuroko and gently took the tie from his hand.
"You can't do it with one hand. I'll help."
"But!.." Kuroko wanted to protest but he didn't continue. He really couldn't do it with one hand, and he was sure Akashi really wanted to go dancing. He couldn't stall like this. "Fine.."
Akashi kept on smiling, amusingly, before working with the tie. "First you have to fold this. Then pull this end here." Akashi gently tied up the tie, while explaining to his date how its done.
"I know how to tie a tie." Kuroko frowned. "I just... didn't want to bother Akashi-kun with it. Even if I have a cast, I thought I could do it."
"I see." Akashi sped up the finishing touches and finished by slightly pulling on the tie to get Kuroko closer. Once their faces were inches apart, Akashi placed a small kiss on his date. After parting he walked towards the doors.
"Shall we go? My princess~"
"Don't call me that." Kuroko pouted but followed Akashi to the door anyway. "I'm still unsure... What will people think?"
"They'll think you're beautiful. But too bad you're already taken~" Akashi teased as the two left Akashi's office and got into the elevator.
"I won't let anyone take me away then. I'm perfectly happy with Akashi-kun." Kuroko smiled. Akashi always made him feel better.
Akashi smiled as the elevator stopped at the ground floor. The two got out, Akashi taking Kuroko's hand into his and led him to the main hall of the ball. The two were surrounded by rich people but neither of them paid them no mind. Well, at least Akashi didn't.
Akashi led Kuroko into a large hall which seemed without an end.
Kuroko tried ignoring everyone like Akashi. He didn't want to become uncomfortable again and bother Akashi. He held Akashi's hand tightly, trying not to look around. "How long will we stay here for?"
"As long as you want." Akashi said but noticed Kuroko's stiff movements. He must feel really out of place. Akashi looked around among the many food tables, chairs, tables, until he saw the dance floor. Bingo!
The redhead began walking towards the place, dragging Kuroko with him. Once Akashi stood there, among others who danced with their lovers, he extended his hand and bowed slightly. "May I have this dance?"
As much as Kuroko loved Akashi, the other was still so embarrassing! "O-Of course.." Kuroko said, reluctantly placing his hand into Akashi's.
Akashi smiled as he pulled Kuroko towards himself. The two couldn't dance properly due to Kuroko's cast but they'll dance anyway. Akashi held Kuroko gently as the two began to dance among others who stared at them in surprise. Most likely due to the fact that the heir of the company and the organizer's son, is dancing with another male.
Akashi noticed the stares but didn't mind in the least.
The stares were a little uncomfortable. Kuroko kind of felt vulnerable under so many important eyes. He buried his face into Akashi's chest as they continued to dance. He often messed up a little because he never danced before, but Akashi was patient and helped Kuroko learn.
"Even if the situation is a little awkward," Kuroko started. "I'm still glad you asked for a dance. It's nice, dancing together like this." Minus all the stares and his mistakes of course.
Akashi smiled for the umpteenth time that night as he leaned in to Kuroko's touch as well. Enjoying his date's presence. "Ignore them. Don't let them ruin our night." Akashi made Kuroko look up by gently pushing his forehead against his. "Concentrate only on me."
Kuroko stared at Akashi's eyes and just wished he could kiss him. It was the perfect moment, however people were still staring and he couldn't do that in front of so many people. "If only we could kiss now." He smiled playfully.
Akashi's smile turned into a smirk. He looked around to see the people staring. This would surprise them even more. Akashi leaned in and captured Kuroko's lips by surprise. Not caring if anybody saw them, but also to tease/make his date happy.
Kuroko knew as soon as he that smirk that Akashi was planning trouble or something embarrassing. When he felt the others lips touch his, he gasped slightly. He wanted to call out the others name and tell him not to do that in public, but he supposed it doesn't matter. It was already done and by the surprised looks around them, he knew it wouldn't matter if they stopped now. So he gently leaned on Akashi, purring softly against his lips. Akashi always did make him happy, even if he did embarrass him.
Akashi opened one of his eyes to see Kuroko accepting the kiss. The redhead then looked at the surprised faces of the other guests before smirking and closing his eye. Tetsuya really is amusing, Akashi thought as he deepened their kiss.
He wants to show everyone that Kuroko is his for the taking and that he doesn't care what everyone thinks. He's Akashi Seijuro after all. He's absolute!
After a few moments, Kuroko slowly pulled away from the kiss. He only pulled away about an inch or so but it was enough to speak. "I love you, Akashi-kun.." He murmured, his good hand gripping Akashi's shoulder tighter out of embarrassment.
"I love you Tetsuya." Akashi whispered into Kuroko's ear seductively. Smirking at how shy but also brave his date is for kissing in the public. A part of Akashi really thought he would push him away while showing massive blushes. But surprisingly he received a wonderful kiss along with the massive blush. What more could he ask for?
Akashi resumed dancing, eyeing everyone dangerously. The crowd of guests have formed a circle around them but now with Akashi's stare, they shivered before going back to their own business.
Akashi and Kuroko danced. Kuroko still leaning his head against Akashi while the redhead smirked in amusement.
"I'm glad Akashi-kun is mine.." Kuroko mumbled, glancing up at Akashi. "Akashi-kun is so perfect and everything... So talented and nice. Going through so many risks and troubles just for me. Even going against his own father... I think Akashi-kun deserves a reward."
He smiled a little before leaning his head back on Akashi's chest. "How does... Seijuuro-kun sound?"
"Reward? I like the sound of that~" Akashi purred as he let Kuroko listen to his heartbeat. He would do anything for Kuroko, anything. Akashi wasn't sure but if the concept of soul mates existed then Kuroko would surely be the one. He himself is so perfect that Akashi had thought many times that he doesn't deserve him. It seems that their feelings are mutual.
"Just the new name. No more." Kuroko teased. "Calling you by your first name should be enough for a reward, right?"
Akashi's eyes widened at the realization. Maybe he didn't hear it properly the first time. "Say it again." Akashi asked, liking the sound of his name on Kuroko's lips.
"What, Seijuuro-kun?" Kuroko asked. "I-If it's too soon, I can just call you Akashi-kun again if you want..?"
"No. I want you to repeat my name. Over and over again." Akashi teased, wanting to hear Kuroko say his name again and again.
"Over and over...?" Kuroko asked. "That's... That's a bit too much..." He was trying to get used to calling him Seijuuro after all. It would be embarrassing if he kept repeating his name.
"Didn't you say that this is a reward?" Akashi continued teasing his date, but is desperate to hear him say it again.
"It is but... It's embarrassing to repeat it." Kuroko blushed a little at the thought.
Akashi noticed Kuroko's blush and leaned down to touch his forehead with his. "Not as embarrassing as kissing in public. Please Tetsuya. I want to hear you say my name again and again."
Kuroko hesitated, still feeling reluctant about the embarrassing topic. "...Only for Seijuuro-kun.."
The smirk didn't leave Akashi's face as he leaned in and closed his eyes. Waiting for Kuroko to say his name.
"I'm not saying it again." Kuroko teased with a small smirk.
"Do you want me to kiss you again? But with much MUCH more passion~ Surely everyone would look~"
"You wouldn't." Kuroko said, looking up at Akashi with disbelief.
"Ohh I would~ Do you want me to do it now?" Akashi teased, more than ready to kiss his date if he declined. He deserves a reward so it's either the kiss or the name. Now its up to Kuroko to choose.
Kuroko hesitated before sighing. He buried his face into Akashi's chest, shaking his head. "You don't have to do that... Seijuuro-kun."
"More. I want you to say my name ten times in a row. Then I'll be satisfied~" Akashi teased as he put his hand on Kuroko's head, making circles around his finger with the teal hair.
Kuroko pouted and his cheeks burned with embarrassment, but he did as Akashi asked. He loved Akashi but honestly, the other was so greedy. "Greedy Seijuuro-kun."
"As long as I hear you say my name, I don't mind. Sorry to tell you but I'm just like this around you." Akashi teased further.
"And only around me." Kuroko smiled happily, glad that they won't part.
Akashi smiled as the two continued to dance. Even though they have received negative feedback, neither of them cared what the others thought of them. Nobody but the other exists in their eyes, Kuroko in Akashi's and Akashi in Kuroko's. Nothing else matters.
