Kuroko and Hikaru arrived at the Children's Den Child Care, the school where kuroko works at.
Kuroko bended down for him to be on an eye level sight with his son and said "know Hikaru, ask the principal politely when you ask permission on tagging along with me at my class. Okay?"
"yes mommy! I will be a good boy, and ask nicely to minato- sensei" Hikaru gave kuroko a salute.
"alright I'll wait for you at the staff room ok? You know where it is."
"yup! Wait for me their mommy, I'll promise that I'll come back to you sooner so you won't have worried"
Kuroko smiled "of course pumpkin, go along now, and no running at the corridor"
"Yeah!" Hikaru replied while taking his way to the principal's office. When kuroko saw his son enters the room he took his way to the stuff room to put their bags down and greeted his co-teacher's good morning.
"hey kuroko-sensei!" called a brunette woman
"yes, ayako-sensei?"
Hirano Ayako is one of kuroko's trusted friends at the school, she is the one who help him got his job on this school when they are still neighbor's at kagami's place.
"Kagami-san ask me to bring this to you, he said it was for you and Hikaru-chan." Ayako extend the lunch box that Kagami asked her to give to kuroko. "he said that he had promise Hikaru to cook for him today."
"ah, Thank you very much. I'm sorry that we have troubled you on this ayako- sensei" kuroko replied getting the said lunch that Kagami give them.
"no worries kuroko-sensiei. Kagami-san really spoil your kid a lot"
"yes, not just Kagami but also his other uncles, sometimes it worries me too. It might build a bad attitude on Hikaru"
"nah! That won't happen, beside Hikaru is just a kid, and kids are meant to be spoiled. And you are there for him to guide him, and so far, you are doing great on raising on such a good well-mannered kid. By the way where is Hikaru?" ayako asked
Kuroko was happy to hear that he is raising his son well even though that he is only a single parent for Hikaru. "his at Akira-sensei's room asking for permission to come with my class." Then a knock was heard on the other side of the door before it was opened by no other than Hikaru and the principal.
"minato-sensei, I apologize that you have to guide my son here at the staff room" kuroko said bowing his head.
"it's fine kuroko-sensei, I insisted on following him here at the staff room. You can bring him to your class any time that you will be needing to, his such a polite kid."minato ryouichi said.
"mommy! Minato-sensei said yes! And I promised him that I will be a good boy when I'm in your class" Hikaru said excitedly while hugging his mother's leg.
He lifted up his son and replied"yes baby, I know you will. And what will you say to minato-sensei?"
"thank you, minato-sensei, that you let me be in mommy's class" Hikaru beamed.
"you're most welcome Hikaru, well now, I'll be returning back to my office, have a good day all of you" and minato left.
Kuroko settle down on his chair while Hikaru was in his lap. "look baby, uncle taiga made you his promised lunch" he lifted up the lunch box infront of Hikaru.
"Yey! I know that uncle taiga won't break his promise to me!"
"you know that he loves you and breaking a promise to you is a big no no right?" kuroko said kissing Hikaru's forehead.
"yeah! I also love him too! And also uncle kise, uncle aomine, uncle Midorima, uncle- "
"yes, I know that you love all of your uncle's baby, but how about mommy? I'm jealous that you are only saying uncles" kuroko asked Hikaru while faking a pout.
"of course, I love mommy! Don't be sad, you are my only mommy and you are the one that I most love!" Hikaru showering kuroko his kisses.
Then the bell rang and that was the sign where class should be now starting. Kuroko stand up from his sit and gather the materials that he needed and proceeded to his class with Hikaru tagging along with him.
Time run fast when you are enjoying the things that you are doing, Lunch time has already arrived for the mother and son, they both settle on his desk at the staff room. Kuroko enjoy watching his sons eat his meal. Hikaru was well behave when he was at his class teaching basic reading and alphabets to his class. He can see how Hikaru focus on his lessons and that was a good sign for him, 'maybe next year he can enroll to school' he thinks.
"mommy ahh~!" Hikaru said while holding a fork with a whole tempura on it. "mommy should eat too!"
Kuroko smiled at his son's antique, he was really a precious. He ate the tempura that Hikaru shared to him and they continue eating with joy.
"why don't we go visit uncle Kagami later so you can give him your thanks" kuroko suggested.
"Yeah! Let's go to uncle taiga's place!" Hikaru cheered
"haha, pipe down baby, we'll go. So why don't you give uncle taiga a call, and tell him that we are going to be at his place after mommy's work" kuroko said handing his ringing cellphone to his son.
[hello?] the other line answered.
"uncle tiaga! It's me Hikaru!"
[oh! Hikaru, did you get the lunch that I made for you today?]
"yeah! It's very delicious uncle taiga!" Hikaru cheered, then look up at his mother
"and what will you say?" asked kuroko
"thank you for the delicious lunch!"
[ no prob kiddo]
"uncle taiga, me and mommy are going to visit you later after his work, is that ok?"
[yeah that would be cool]
"alright, I'll let mommy know"
The two continue their conversation until the school bell rangs. Hikaru said his goodbye to his uncle taiga before handing the cellphone to his mother and kuroko put the device on his pants pocket.
"come now pumpkin, we need to continue our lesson earlier." Kuroko said extending his hands for Hikaru to grab.
"Okay mommy!" grabbing kuroko's hand.
As the mother and son left the staff room with a smiling face on their faces.
Hours has passed and the bell rang again on the children's den day care, the sign that classes are already over. Kuroko and Hikaru left the school and proceeded to Maji burger to order their favorite drinks and some cheese burger for Kagami, after they got they their order, they continue walking to Kagami's place.
When they got to the place, Hikaru run towards the door and pressed the doorbell "Uncle taiga! Hikaru and mommy is here!" Hikaru shouted.
They heard hurried footsteps on the other side of the door, and seconds later Kagami opened the door.
"hey Kiddo!" Kagami said opening his arms for a hug, and Hikaru without a doubt launches himself on his uncle's awaiting arms
"hi uncle!"
"yeah, how's school?" Kagami asked, lifting Hikaru while he stand up.
"mommy is really a great teacher, I can't wait to start schooling next year" he said with an enthusiastic voice.
"well you still have to wait for months baby, since school year had just begun last month. Good evening Kagami"
"yeah come inside, everybody will also come here later. they said that kise will tell us something urgent."
"I have a feeling that this will not be good" kuroko said with a worried expression.
"yeah I also thought that too."
While the three of them are waiting for the arrival of their other friends they, they cooked some dinner for them. The first one that have arrived are Murasakibara and Himuro and bought some self-made cup cakes with them. After an hour, Midorima and takao arrived. Everyone was settle on kagami's living room, Hikaru was settled on murasakibara's lap eating some cupcakes that his uncle said.
"kise texted and said that they won't take long for them to arrive here" takao said."ok, why don't we set the table so we can start eating dinner when they arrived. Pumpkin, finished that cupcake later, we will eat our dinner soon." Kuroko said, Hikaru pouted but obeyed his mommy, as he was always right.
Kise and aomine din't take long before they knock on the door loudly.
"geez, did those two forgot that my apartment has a door bell to ring. They might break my door" Kagami said hurriedly opening his door. When he opens the door, the couple had rush inside and said.
"We have a probem! Akashi is here at Tokyo!" kise shouted.
Kuroko only paled, while the others only stared at kise in disbelief.
"are you sure about that kise? You might mistake someone as him" Midorima asked in a worried expression in his face
"yeah kise. Are you really sure that the one you had saw is akashi?" takao asked.
"yeah I'm pretty sure. Well at first, I thought it was someone actually, but as I starerd at the guy, it really was him. accidentally I was at the same hotel today where he had held a one on one meeting with someone, I secretly eavesdrop with his conversation with the other man, and it looks like that the akashi's bought a company here at Tokyo to be a branch company of their business." Kise said.
Kuroko only stayed silent on his position, the news gave him a shock. He really doesn't want to see the guy right now, or maybe forever. A tag on his leg bring him back to reality and he saw his son worriedly looking at him. He bended down and smiles at his son, reassuring Hikaru that he was alright. He hugged Hikaru tighly and said if you accidently meet him, please keep your promise with me".
"of course, we will Tetsu!" aomine said enthusiastically.
"and anyways. We won't let that asshole be near at both of you" Kagami said, earning a death glare from kuroko.
"watch your language taiga"Himuro said, which Kagami only gave an apologetic look to the others.
"well if akashichi really is here, we must avoid him as much as possible. If not, we can just ignore him, like when he was calling our numbers." Murasakibara suggested.
"yes, that would be a better move to do when we see akashi nearby by accident" aomine said.
Kuroko and Hikaru we're just listening to the other's when Hikaru suddenly asked out "who is this akashi guy that they are talking about mommy?" this gave kuroko's heart a leap, and look at his son. Everybody looked at them, also tense with hikaru's question.
"he is no one important Hikaru. So, we can ignore him?" kuroko gave a pleading look to his son.
Which Hikaru happily oblige "okay mommy. Can we eat now? I'm hungry" he politely asked with a blush.
"of course, baby, why don't you wash your hands so we can start eating" he said setting Hikaru down and pointed at the bathrooms door, which Hikaru happily run off to. He turned back his attention to his friends and ask, "can we discuss about him later when Hikaru fall asleep?"
"yeah, that will be a good idea" Midorima agreed.
"we'll just sleep here today, is that ok with you Kagami?"
"sure, you still both have some clothes here anyway, so no problem. You can use the room that you have occupied last time."
"thank you" kuroko said sighting.' What will be the end of this sudden problem.'They we're done talking when Hikaru emerged in the room announcing that he had washed his hand and he is ready to eat, which everybody finds it cute. Well he is the little mascot of the group.
At the other side in Tokyo
Akashi arrived at the condominium that he and his daughter are staying at. they arrived at Tokyo at noon and went straight here. He left mirai with his secretary to look after her. At first mirai insist on going with him on his meeting with his new branch company service partner, but he also insisted her that she is not allowed while he's on work duty. And that only gave fire to mirai's foul mood.
"welcome back akashi-sama" his secretary greets
"how's mirai yasu?" akashi asked.
"she ate her dinner but only with a small amount. She finished her milk before falling asleep"
"how's her mood?" akashi asked expectantly.
"it dint improve all throughout the day, she just stays in her room coloring in silent."
Akashi only sighted at this. He does not know how please his daughter, she was so ecstatic earlier when they were still at Kyoto, and now this
"did you already enrolled her on the day care that you saw? Are you sure that, that was the best one?" akashi asked.
"yes akashi-sama, the day care that I have found is just across the street and was the best one. It is the Play n' Learn Academy."yasu replied.
"good. When will she starts?"
"she can start when she is already."
"Alright, I'll ask her tomorrow morning, you can take your rest now." As that being said. Yasu bowed his head and left the condominium. Akashi went straight to his daughter's room to take a peak. He silently opened the door and also silently approach mirai's bed. That is where he saw how puff his daughter's eye is, 'she's crying all day' seeing his daughter like this gave a pang on his heart. He gently touches mirai's cheek, hoping that mirai can understand that he is doing this for her. He let out a sigh again and left his daughter room silently, and proceeding to his. He needed a rest, he was restless when they arrived at Tokyo hoping that he can accidentally see one of his friends. And most of all, kuroko tetsuya.
