It has been two weeks since their first meeting, and Akashi couldn't get Kuroko Tetsuya out of his mind. He wanted to see him again, but…how? They weren't exactly friends as of this moment that they would exchange numbers with each other. All kinds of questions popped up, which the redhead had no answer to.

Shaking the thoughts out of his mind, he collected his belongings, having completed all the necessary paperwork he needed to do. As he headed out of his office, a certain green head was also coming out of his. Midorima Shintarou noticed the heterochromatic make and bowed.

"Good work today, Shintarou." Akashi said, returning the gesture.

"You too, Akashi." Midorima said politely. Just then, he remembered that he needed to discuss some things about the Emperial Hotel with Akashi.

"That's right, before I forget, are you free this weekend? To discuss the issues of the Emperial?" the green eyed male inquired.

"Ah, yes, we do need to talk about that situation. I'm free, so let's meet at the Namikawa Restaurant as usual. Is tomorrow at 3pm alright for you?" The heterochromatic adult affirmed.

"That should be fine. I'll see you there then." Midorima confirmed. "Anyways, I'm going to take my leave now." Just as he was about to go ahead, Midorima heard his name being called from the front.

Akashi's eyes widened, as he recognised that familiar vanilla and honey scent – the scent of a certain bluenette. He followed the dark green haired male as the scent was coming from that direction.

When he finally reached the front, he saw Kuroko handing over a large bouquet of orange blossoms to Midorima. Midorima looked confused, asking who had sent them.

"He said his name was Takao Kazunari-san." Kuroko reached for his pocket and took out a small piece of paper, giving it to Midorima. "He told me to give this to you as well."

Reading the contents in the note, the usually serious Midorima was showcasing a furious hint of red on his cheeks.

Shin-chan, Happy Anniversary! Hope you had a great day at work! Ah, this is not the actual present though. I'll give you the real one when you get home, so…come home soon! I'll be waiting~

PS. I love you 3
Takao

"That idiot! Saying these embarrassing things so easily! If he's got the time for all this nonsense, then he should go and find a job. That useless idiot!" Akashi chuckled, as he watched his colleague get really flustered as he read the note. Takao Kazunari would often do these things, wanting to show just how much he loved Midorima, even to the public eye.

Just then, the green eyed male realised exactly where he was and became silent. He tried to fix his tie, as to pretend that nothing happened, though all the employees already knew. He cleared his throat, heading to the exit, still blushing furiously.

"I will take my leave also. Then." Kuroko bowed and headed for the exit too.

"Me too." Akashi also left, following behind the bluenette.

"I have to go this way, so…goodbye." A hint of red was clearly visible on his pale cheeks as Kuroko bid the heterochromatic male adieu.

"I have to as well." Akashi stated, as his car was in that direction. They both walked in silence, neither of them knowing what to say. Akashi, wanting to break the silence, spoke.

"So, Kuroko-san, how has your job at Iori-san's going?" He asked. Kuroko was slightly taken aback by the sudden question, but he answered.

"It's going quite well, I have to make sure to keep the flowers in good condition; to make sure they get enough sunlight, the right nutrients and such. It's actually really enjoyable." The bluenette replied, smiling.

"That's good to hear. I'm glad that you're liking it there." Akashi smiled, turning to Kuroko. That surprised Kuroko; he didn't know he could smile like that. He felt his cheeks burning up, and quickly turned away before Akashi noticed. But it was too late because Akashi had seen it. He smirked, enjoying the fact that he could make the bluenette blush so easily.

Akashi spotted his car and pressed the button to unlock it. He opened the door and placed his bag and coat at the back seat. He noticed that it was getting quite dark now; he felt that if he left the blue haired male on his own, it would be dangerous. He didn't fully understand yet as to why he wanted to protect the shorter male, but he felt as if he would regret it if he let Kuroko go right now.

"Will you allow me to drop you off at the shop?" Akashi asked.

"No, it's alright. I should be fine, but thank you for the offer." Kuroko refused, feeling hesitant to comply.

"Please, I insist. It's getting pretty dark now, I can't just leave you like that." Akashi said, wanting to stay with Kuroko for a little longer. Kuroko blushed again, and complied. Akashi allowed the bluenette inside, opening the front door. Kuroko got inside and thanked the redhead. Akashi closed the door and went round to the driver's seat. He turned the engine on, carefully turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator, leaving the gap he had parked his car in.

Akashi turned the steering wheel to the right manoeuvring the car around the bend, and continued driving straight, until he had to turn again. He kept on glancing at the blue haired male, making sure that he was alright and noticed that he seemed to be really conscious of him. He smirked and continued driving until they had finally reached the shop. The lights were still on inside, which probably meant that Iori was still inside.

Akashi stopped the car and let Kuroko step out of the passenger seat. He looked at Akashi.

"Urm…thank you, for dropping me off. Then." Kuroko said. Akashi smiled. Kuroko headed back inside the florist, closing the door behind him as he got in. Akashi turned the ignition and was just about the leave, when a sudden crash resounded from the shop.

An intruder? He thought, an expression of worry etched on his face. He unfastened his seatbelt and stepped out of his car, rushing to the flower shop. When he got inside though, he saw that there was nothing to be worried about. Remains of a flower pot were scattered on the floor. The bluenette was there picking up the broken pieces, the shop owner giving a helping hand. The middle aged female took notice of Akashi and was surprised.

"Ara, Sei-chan, what happened? Is everything alright?" Iori-san asked, a worried expression on her face. Akashi let out a sigh of relief; he quickly jumped to conclusions there. He chuckled, thinking about how silly it was of him to be so worried. The brown haired woman just looked at him confused as to what was so funny. The blue eyed male did the same.

"Sorry about that. I heard a noise from outside, and just came to check if you were okay." The redhead was looking at Kuroko when he said this. Kuroko, surprised, looked down on the floor, a hint of red evident on his pale cheeks. This didn't go unnoticed by Iori-san, who just smiled, having figured out what was going on. Of course, this wouldn't go unnoticed by Akashi, who in return smirked at this. Sensing the tension between them, Iori-san spoke up.

"Kuroko-kun, why don't you escort Sei-chan back to his car?" She suggested, smiling widely. Kuroko was about to protest, but she stopped him. "I'll be fine, I've almost finished anyways." The brunette insisted. Kuroko nodded and walked out of the shop with Akashi after taking his apron off.

The shop owner picked up the last of the remains, putting them in the plastic bag and threw it away. She washed her hands in the sink, rubbing off the soil thoroughly. After wiping her hands on the hand towel, she removed her apron and started to get ready to leave.

She smiled to herself as she thought about the two men that were outside the shop. It was so clear that Akashi had taken a liking to the new employee, seeing as how worried he looked when he entered the shop a few moments earlier. She knew how much the heterochromatic eyed male had been grieving for his late wife when she passed away in a car accident 5 years ago. She was happy for him.

Through the shop window, she could see Kuroko and Akashi conversing with each other. She thought of how fitting they looked next to each other. Iori-san hoped that they would continue to encounter each other more in the future, seeing how happy Akashi looked. The bluenette looked happy too, she could see that. Maybe if she pushed them in the right direction, they would see each other more. As she pondered on this, Kuroko came back inside.

"Are you leaving now?" He asked, noticing that Iori-san had her coat on. She nodded. "Alright, I'll lock up once I'm done. Good work today." The blue haired male bowed and smiled as the brown haired female exited the shop. He blushed as he thought about Akashi. He wanted to see him again. Shaking the thoughts out of his mind, the bluenette collected his belongings and put his coat on as he exited the shop as well, locking the door securely. He put his hands in his pockets, the night wind blowing strongly on him. It was get dark so quickly now, since winter had started. The street lamps guided him as he headed home. His thoughts went back to the redhead again. If fate allowed it, they would certainly meet again.

"I'm home." The dark green haired adult called, entering the apartment. He took his shoes off and went into the living room. He couldn't see a thing at all.

Why are the lights off? He thought as he switched them back on. Suddenly, he was tackled hardly resulting him to fall on the floor with a loud thud.

"Ow…" Rubbing the back of his head, he looked to the culprit. It was Takao. He always does the most ridiculous things. "Takao! Get off me, you idiot!" Midorima yelled as he sat up.

"Happy Anniversary, Shin-chan! Hehe." The male with the jet black haired said, a gleaming smile on his face. Midorima turned away, blushing furiously.

"H-Happy, Anniversary." It was difficult not to notice that tint of red that was showcasing on his lover's face. He could be such a tsundere at times, it was so cute.

"You're so cute, Shin-chan! Come on, don't look away~ I want to see your face." Takao chuckled as he pulled his lover's face so that they faced each other. Midorima's face was as red as a tomato. He leaned in and kissed him gently on the lips. The green haired male kissed back, only more fiercely. He then flipped over, pinning Takao on the ground as he deepened their kiss further. Breaking away from the kiss, Midorima looked at his lover, who was blushing now.

"Shin-chan, I love you." Takao said smiling, making Midorima blush even more than he was. He couldn't take it anymore, he stood up and lifted his the black haired male from the floor. "Shin-chan?" He looked at the moss haired, an expression of longing etched on his face. Midorima carried him to their room, placing him on the bed.

He unbuttoned his shirt and removed it, discarding it on the floor. "It's a good thing you've got a day off tomorrow. I won't be going easy on you today." He unravelled the white bandaging off his fingers and crawled onto the bed. Licking his lips, Midorima made contact with his lover's lips again. Takao wrapped his arms around Midorima's neck and deepened their kiss.

"I love you, Takao." Midorima whispered softly in Takao's ear and embraced the black haired male tightly.

"I love you too, Shin-chan." Takao said softly in Midorima's ear, kissing the side his green head.

A/N: It was hard to think of a way to make them meet again, but I hope this was fitting! I also added a little Midotaka scene since I couldn't just leave it at the note and bouquet. I hope you like it :D Thank you for reading and all the kudos 3
