You give me that hummingbird heartbeat
Spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me that hummingbird heartbeat
Hummingbird heartbeat

Hummingbird Heartbeat By: Katy Perry


Kuroko tries his best to avoid looking Akashi straight in the eye. He doesn't know what to say, it happens every time when the red head do something he didn't expect. His mouth refuses to set in motion while all his thoughts were scrambling like hell. Decision… when did decision become so hard for him?

Is this Akashi's fault?

Why did he not turn down Akashi's confession to him?

Why did he feel so happy to all the efforts he witnessed from his former captain?

Why… his heart beats so fast?

Why?

Why?

Because…

He already fall in love with him.

Akashi felt uneasy and the sweat in his forehead feels very cold. His stomach is turning upside down because of nervousness as he can foresee the second time rejection from the bluenette. He clenched his fist until it numbs.

"Well I guess… I'm rejected… again… you hate me that much huh" Akashi bitterly chuckled.

"…"

"At least say something, it's not that I'll stand here until morning just to wait for your reply… If you're rejecting me, tell me. Don't make me look stupid."

Kuroko gulped and build up his courage to tell Akashi his answer. He finally get hold all his feelings and thoughts. The bluenette open his mouth while Akashi still talking.

"I'm sorry for bothering you all this time Tetsuya, after this we can't really see each other and I—"

"Y-Yes." Kuroko muttered, some sort of a whisper but can be heard through the close distance between the them.

"—can't prove my love to you. So please answer me now." Seconds passed before Kuroko's answer registered in Akashi's mind "Wai— What? What did you say?"

"I said yes. I'll go out with you."Kuroko's face shade in red and quite teary expression from his expressionless face.

"…"

"Akashi-kun?"

Akashi's mouth opened and his eyes widen in shock, excitement, happiness, joyousness, feeling of wanting to cry and nearly hyperventilating.

"Y-you mean Te—Tetsuya will go out with me?"

Kuroko just nodded "Please take care of me." Then he bows to the red head.

"YEAH! WOOOH!" the red head yelled because of thousand happiness piercing into his heart. He run to the crowd and yelled "HE FINALLY SAID 'YES'. I'M GOING OUT WITH TETSUYA!" and dug his hands to his chest as he feel that he's on the top of the world right now. A pure feeling of happiness and love.

People clap their hands and start congratulating Akashi as well as his team mates. Reo and Hayama cried together in tears of joy. Their Sei-chan finally found the person he will treasure and love. The Seirin team was shocked but happy for their phantom's decision and will support him whatever happens but this is not applied with Kagami. The ace clenched his fist and silently cursing the Rakuzan's monster captain.

Kuroko walk towards the red head.

"Akashi-kun" Akashi turned his head and faces his LOVER smiling at him"

"Can we talk… uhmm… like privately? I don't like the attention Akashi-kun."

"Of course! Anything for my love…"

"It's a bit late so, I'll tell my teammates that I'm going home and we talk on the way." Kuroko smiled back at him.

"Yeah sure…"


After Kuroko pays his good bye, the red head and the bluenette start to take a walk. Kuroko's home is a little far away from the school so they have enough time to talk while walking.

"Since when did you like me?"

Akashi raised an eyebrow from that question. He really did like his Tetsuya's straight forwardness. "Teiko."

"What?"

"The first time I saw you back there. You, with Daiki. The world literally stops for me but I pay no mind since I didn't feel anything like that ever before. Just like some sort of admiration in your skills and love for the sport. But when the time of my stupidity comes to my senses, I change the team to the point of making you hate the thing you love. All I've done to you was painful memories. At the winter cup when I called you all to meet before the tournament begins, that is the time I realize my feelings for you. I really wanted to hug you back then but my blood boils when your current idiotic looking light pops out of the scene."

Kuroko look stoically at his former captain "Is that why you try to stab him?"

"… yes and no… I was already pissed that day, he just doubled it… no… tripled it when he showed up."

"I see… Akashi-kun, to tell you the truth…"

The red head hummed as a response.

"You really are cool and I thought of you as an example of power and great leadership but, that is before you changed."

A quarter of guilt pained the Rakuzan's captain. He knew, he was aware that he changed the rest of the GoM at that time and causes his beloved to feel drifted away and not belonged to the team.

"That's why I'm here to replace all those bad memories I made."

"Welcome back."

"…"Akashi looked at the smaller figure beside him.

"You came back… the old Akashi-kun. I feel the same warmth you had back at Teiko."

Akashi responded with a smile and blush on his cheeks. He himself was aware of his changes and the coldness of his attitude that time. So when Kuroko resigned from the team, he felt empty and sad. The court where the first string held practices suddenly becomes an empty cold shelf, it was doomed and melancholic. He started to think if they were really are monsters. That their talent hurt other people feelings especially his beloved, cursing himself cannot bring back the loss. Now, this time is the chance, his only chance.

The two had lovely conversation and started knowing about each other since they had no time in middle school to talk about so closely like that. Kuroko didn't notice that they already reach his house gate.

"This is my home Akashi-kun"

Akashi gave the house a glance "Tetsuya, this is different from where I picked you before the party right?"

"Ah… that, that was my grandma's house and it was the house registered as my address."

"So, this is your main house?"

"Yes"

"Hmmm.. it's big. I'm impressed."

"Your house… eh… mansion, is twenty times bigger than this I supposed."

"Your right, that's why I move to much smaller place."

"But if I were you, I will choose to live in smaller and homey place like your apartment."

"Tetsuya really is a simple man after all."

Kuroko buzz the doorbell, after a few seconds the gate opened. The large thick wooden door engraved by a Chinese mythical dragon caught Akashi's attention. The door in front of them opens and reveal the two maids and a butler.

"Welcome home my Lord." The butler bows politely as well as the two maids "I guess you have a companion with you"

"Ah yes Sebastian, this is Akashi Seijuuro my... former captain in basketball team in Teiko"

"Welcome to our household Akashi-sama." Then bow again in respectable manner.

Akashi slightly gave his nod and start to scan the house detail by detail. It was magnificent, an aura of medieval era. A house built for royalties although his house is much bigger but he had to admit, in the interior details, his house will surely never win. The distinctive design of mythological gods and goddesses, inflated the wall. His attention diverted to the figure of Athena. Indeed it was the most beautiful amongst other woman in mythology. Beautiful, smart and brave… like his Tetsuya.

"Akashi-kun?"

His thoughts hovered by Tetsuya calling his name "Ah… yeah, the figures sculpted on the wall is breath-taking. Who did this?"

"My father, it was first his hobby and then he decided once they build a house, he will put all his sculptures there. So… that's why they were on those walls."

"Indeed..."

"Ah... Akashi-kun follow me, I prepare tea."

The red head followed his lover to the living room much simpler than he thought.

"Simple is it?"

"What?"

"The living room, simple compared what you saw back there."

"Uh... yeah and why is that?" Akashi brows lifted a bit as he was curious for the reason.

"Well, although this house is big for a family of five, my mother still wants it to be simple and generate the warm feeling."

"Five?"

Before Kuroko could state his reply…

"TEEEEEEE-CHHAAAAAN!" a man in a black suit estimated to be in his early twenties runs with the carefree attitude and hug Kuroko tightly "I missed you so much my little tweenie bro... so cute… so soft… and smells so good… hug me back hug me back..."

-BONK-

"nii-san… your embarrassing me"

"Ouch… you don't need to hit me… I just missed you so—" the man whines and notice a person occupying the same room "who's that?" pointing his finger to the red haired man.

"Don't point people. He's my former captain in Teiko."

Akashi stood up and bows to the man "Good evening, my name is Akashi Seijuuro"

"Akashi-kun, this is my brother… Kuroko Naruhiko" Kuroko said as he introduces his brother.

"Ah… Hello Akashi-san, sit down and feel at home… Thank you for taking care of my cute little brother." Naruhiko smiled at the man and continue to hug his younger brother. The older Kuroko take his leave for a while because of some business to be taken care of.

"I'm sorry for the rowdiness of my brother. He's my head ache."

"No need to apologize, I like his attitude which was very opposite of you." Akashi chuckled.

"That's rude… am I that unsociable to you?"

"Tetsuya, that's not what I meant. By the way, am I going to meet your family today?

"If my brother is here, that means all of them are here."

"Oh… just right after you decided to go out with me I am much of luck to be able to meet your parents."

Kuroko glance at the red head and the baby blue orbs meet the mismatch crimson and gold eyes. Intimate aura circulating the living room and no words spoken. The silence broke when a familiar voice opened the door. Sharing the same baby blue hair as Tetsuya reaching his shoulders with the help of hairpin to support the bangs from falling from his face. The man wears fitted jeans, white shirt with black leather jacket and dark red head phone on his neck.

"Tetchi-chan." The voice of the man echoed throughout the whole room.

"Ah… welcome back Haru-niisan" Kuroko greeted his brother and bowed to him.

"Long time no see our baby of the family~" Haru shifted his gaze to the man sitting on the large couch "Uh… your friend?"

"He's my former captain in Teiko, Akashi Seijuuro and Akashi-san, this is my second brother Kuroko Haruhisa."

"A good evening to you Kuroko-san."Akashi greeted the man.

"Call me Haru-niisan, you're my baby brother's lover right?" Haru grinned at them.

"Nii-san! H-How did you know?! Can you avoid your hobby of stalking me?" Kuroko blushed on what his brother just said. Akashi is quite amazed on how his Tetsuya's brother knew that they already start dating.

"Baby Tetchin, I'm not stalking, it's just so happens that I witnesses this man's confession and… the greatest part of you acknowledging him as your boyfriend… teehee" Haru rumble his baby brother's head and excuse himself as he prepare for dinner.

Kuroko sighed and apologize to Akashi "That was the second… Naru-niisan is the oldest among us, next to him is Haru-niisan"

"I really am very lucky, I can't wait to meet your parents." The red head was very happy to meet his beloved's family. Then he remembered what Midorima texted to him, that Sagittarius will be on no.1 spot for being the luckiest person of the day. His lucky item is a red cellphone which he already acquired. He must not underestimate the horoscope but in the end, he will be the one who decide what will happen in the future.

The butler called Kuroko and Akashi to go to the dinner table where his father, mother and brothers are waiting.

"Oka-san, Otou-san… welcome back, I missed you both. I hope the vacation you had was enjoyable."

Tsubasa, Kuroko's mother, immediately hug her son with a teary eye and a running nose "My baby boy… I missed my baby boy so much… "

"Come to Daddy baby boy… hug daddy too " Kaoru said, Kuroko's father.

"Uh… Otou-san, Okas-san… I'd like you to meet my former—" Kuroko's statement cut-off by Haru.

"He's our baby boy's LOVER!" Haru shouted.

"..."

"WHAT?!" Naruhiko, Tsubasa and Kaoru altogether, Kuroko sighed "Everyone, please lower your voices."

"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Kuroko, my name is Akashi Seijuuro, Tetsuya's former captain… and boyfriend." the red head give a polite greeting to Kuroko's parents.

Tsubasa inspect Akashi from head to foot "OH MY! What a handsome young man. Our baby boy hits the jackpot."

"Mah- mah… honey, don't over react. Seijuuro kun, are you the son of Saito and Sayuri Akashi?" Kaoru asked Akashi.

"Yes sir."

"I see. I am your father's friend and drinking buddy ever since college. He's a very nice and funny man" the man chuckled.

"I had to agree with that. In fact, he's kinda irritating sometimes because of his childishness."

"Ahaha! Sai-chan never changed" Kaoru laughs at Akashi's statement about his father.

"Guys… the food will get cold. We must start eating." Naruhiko ended the conversation and proceed to the table.

Akashi and the Kuroko family started to eat peacefully and sometimes Haru or Tsubasa lift a topic to get to know Akashi. They decide to call him Seijuuro since he is their baby boy's boyfriend. Regardless to their gender, Kuroko's family was very understanding and adds to that he was the son of Kaoru's close friend. After the dinner and a little chit-chat, Akashi decided that he should be going because it is past ten o'clock.

"Seichi-chan should sleep here. At this hour, it is very dangerous to go home alone" Haru suggested.

"I am too much bother to your family time. I will call my teammates to pick me up—"

"Yeah, that's a very good idea Haru-chan. Seijuuro-chan should spend his night here." Tsubasa didn't hear what Akashi said.

"Your teammates staying at your home?" Kuroko asked and look at the red head.

"Yeah, they help me to set up my performance earlier so I told them they can stay in my place until the vacation ends."

"I see, uh… it's ok if you spend your night here."

Akashi's lifted a brow "Fine Tetsuya, if you insist."

"Oh… so, I'll tell Seb to prepare your room…" Tsubasa joyfully squeals again when Akashi finally decided to sleep over.

"No! Mom, Seichi-chan should sleep in Tetchi's room." Haru smirked and proud on his idea.

"Waaah! What a bright idea Haru-chan" the two walk out of the scene dragging Tetsuya to his room to prepare while skipping and giggling.

Naruhiko face palmed on his brother and mother's attitude. Among the three of them, Haruhisa is the closest to their mother since he and Tsubasa share the same talent on creative writing. Kuroko Tsubasa is a famous author known as QueenBee but now she owns the publishing company of her late grandfather while Kuroko Haruhisa's pen name is BlackBunny which is very famous on writing crime/drama/romance/suspense genre and they both fan of yaoi genre books. A fujoshi duo.

"Seijuuro-kun, sorry for witnessing that. I'm not surprised if you found it strange."

"No, don't mind me. The truth is I'm very happy because you all accepted me as… Tetsuya's boyfriend"

"I'm really shocked at first… not because the two of you dating but because this was the first time Techan brought a guest in the main house."

"Do you mind if I asked what your family business is?"

Naru quickly smiled at the red head "Dad already gave me all the authority to run our family business involving furnitures and interior designing. Mom controls all the work on our publishing company and Haru is the one helping her. Our father travels around the world to finally fulfill his dreams to paint all the beautiful sceneries in different locations. Techan, well, he is very close to grandma (father's side) so grandma in her last will, she gave the big Japanese house to Techan and after grandma died, he decided to stay in that house to protect our grandma's treasure" Naru yawned "I think we should call it a night. Seijuuro-kun, I give you my blessing and promise me to protect my baby brother and not to let him cry or feel any pain…or else… I will stab in your sleep."

Akashi closes his eyes and sincerely replied "I promise to protect, cherish and love Tetsuya with all my heart and soul. And if the day comes that he shed tears because of me, I will surrender myself to you and you can do whatever you want to me."

"This is the promise we made as a man."

"Yes."


Kuroko having a big problem in closing his eyes to take himself to sleep, he feels uncomfortable because he can feel Akashi's eyes stabbing his back.

"Tetsuya, if you can't sleep, I'll just sleep on the couch there."

Kuroko gulped "No, stay here, I'm fine."

"Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's not good to lie to you so, yes."

"Can you tell me your favorite movie?"

"My what?"

"Your favorite movie Tetsuya"

"Uhmm… The Notebook"

"Wow, I like that movie."

"Really? I don't know Akashi-kun likes romance drama movies."

"Oh… what do you think of me then?"

"hmmm.. I thought you like crime mystery suspense type of movies."

"Well not at all, I prefer to watch more human like emotions and that movie, represent the story of us."

"What makes you say that?" Kuroko looked at the red head which currently gazing at the roof.

"... the relationship of the two protagonist is stable and they were very happy, until an incident cause them to part ways. The man tries to contact the woman but his letters never reach her. After the years, he saw her with another man."

"Are you implying that, I am the woman?"

"But after those years… the man still madly in love with her..."

"Akashi-kun…"

"I'm madly in love with you… Kuroko Tetsuya" Akashi stared at the pale figure beside him.


Kuroko's POV

Very handsome face with his heterochromatic crimson and gold eyes looking at me… with all the love… how can someone not fall for that?

I feel like floating in the air.

Too much love.

He's giving me too much love...

The best decision I made in my entire life...
