Akashi was an unexpected but welcome change to Kuroko's daily walk from the classrooms to the gyms where his team practiced.

Another unexpected change was, before they reached the door leading outside to the gyms, Akashi placed Kuroko in his blazer's front pocket gently then continued walking with Kuroko hitching a ride in his pocket. If anyone else had done this, Kuroko would have complained immediately and climbed out of the pocket to walk on his own. However, since it was his captain and friend, he simply settled in for the ride.

What Kuroko had forgotten was, it was raining and he was small. So when Akashi headed outside into the rain, Kuroko realized why Akashi had placed him in his pocket as Akashi opened the umbrella that had somehow gone unnoticed by Kuroko.

When they reached the gym and Akashi had taken him out of his pocket, Kuroko placed a small kiss on Akashi's chin as he passed it, thank you, Akashi-kun.
