Kuroko was frozen for a moment before he took a deep breath to calm himself down and bowed his head " d- did he see Hikaru?" he ask silently, hoping that akashi didn't see his son's face. He felt a touch on his shoulder and when he looks up he saw aomine's reassuring eye and relied "I assure you that he did not see hikaru tetsu, so you can calm down. It's a good thing that I am already nearby when he shows up on the store". He sighed in relief that akashi did not manage to see his baby's face, he hugged Hikaru tightly in his arm which the boy happily returns it back.

"I'm really sorry kurokochi" kise said bowing his head, ready for his friend angry outburst, but instead of getting any negative reaction to his friend he felt a light pat on his head, and when he lifted up his head he saw kuroko is gently smiling at him. "it's not your fault kise, so please lift your head.", slowly kise lifted his head and smiled thankfully at kuroko.

"we really need to be careful from now on huh, he might be lurking around anywhere here at Tokyo." Aomine said settling down beside kise.

"yeah, we must do that. Please do say that to the other's too" kise agreed which kuroko only nodded in agreement. After some time of chatter kuroko decided to go home with Hikaru that they. They said their thanks and goodbye to the couple. When the two had disappeared kise and aomine decided too to resign for the day and prepared themselves to sleep. when they are already settled on the bed '' ah, you know when I picked up Hikaru, I saw him with a little girl with the same hair color as his." Aomine suddenly spoke up.

"really? What those the little girl looks like?" kise ask.

"well she's cute and polite, maybe she's not older than two years old. Do you think she is related to akashi?"

"well do yo see any resemblance?" kise look directly at his boyfriend

"only the red hair, the little girl look sweet too."

"well that is not an akashi."

"how can you say that?" aomine raised his eyebrow.

"well first, the akashi's is not the only one who had that hair color. Maybe the girl is a foreigner or something. I can also see someone with that same hair color. And when I got there it looks like akashi just got their basing on where he came from while approaching me." Kise said.

"you got a point, well damn it let's forget about that. It's just that girl is really cute. Do you think we can make a cute baby too?" aomine said teasingly. Which bought a blush to kise's face.

"wha-! DAIKICHI! WHY THE SUDDEN TOPIC!" kise said covering is face with a pillow.

"why don't you remove that pillow first then ryouta?" aomine said while reaching something on the night stand. When kise feel that aomine is busy reaching on something, he slowly removed the pillow that he was using as a shield. He was shocked when there was a opened velvet box with a ring presented in front of him. kise was speechless.

"I know this Is a lame way to propose to you ryouta, trust me this is really not my plan on how to propose to you." Aomine said scratching the back of his head." But when I see that little girl, I realize that I really want to have one of ours to. Sooo uhm, Kise Ryouta, will you marry me?" he aomine said looking straight at his silent lover, nervousness is obviously displayed in his navy-blue eyes. Then after some moment, kise lunged himself to aomine, tears are freely pouring out on his eyes and said "Of course my answer is YES!" hugging his lover tightly. "I really do love you, even though the moment that you picked on proposing to me is kind of weird" kise softly laugh. "Shut up" aomine blushed while hugging his now fiancée. ". The two lovers were so happy that they didn't know when did they drifted to sleep.

As Thursday passes by quickly, Friday had come quickly than kuroko expected, the day which the Children's den child care will go to the park to enjoy their day, he is also looking forward to it like his son is, Hikaru has a double amount of energy right now. Kuroko is busy preparing their things and food for the park when his phone vibrated.

"Hikaru can you answer my phone for me please?" kuroko asked still busying himself on preparing their things

"yes mommy!" stumbled his way to the kitchen to get kuroko's cellphone "Hello?"

[ah, Hikaru! good morning, how's my favorite patient?] reply of the man on the other end.

"Uncle shige! I'm fine thank you." Hikaru cheered out

[ where's your mommy?]

"mommy is busy packing our things for today's activity uncle" Hikaru replied.

[ can I speak to mommy for a moment please?]

"sure, thing uncle, I'll hand him the phone" Hikaru said and run towards the living room where kuroko is still packing up his things "mommy, it's uncle shige. He said that he wants to talk to you". Hiraku said handing the device to kuroko. Kuroko smiled at Hikaru and said, "thank you baby.". after thanking his son kuroko put the device in between his ear and shoulder to hold it up.

"hello, shigehiro?" kuroko spoke softly. Kuroko and shigehiro are best friends. He is the one who help kuroko while he is pregnant, and he is also hikaru's pediatrician. The two continue on speaking in minutes before kuroko said "alright I'll message the place to you after I finish my packing mission here okay?"

[sure thing, well then. I'll see you both later?] ogiwara replied

"yeah we'll see you later." Kuroko smiled, then dropped the call. He stared at the device for a moment before pocketing the device. Kuroko was very grateful shigehiro, after all he is the one who helps him to stand up again and move forward on to the brighter future that awaits him with his son.

At the akashi's

Little footsteps echoed in the hallway on the other side of the elder akashi's room, then seconds later his door his door was opened with haste before mirai jump up in his bed to wake him up.

"daddy! Wake up, wake up!" Mirai said softly patting her little palm to his father's face.

"ugh, Mirai, what got you so excited early in the morning?" akashi groggily asked.

"mirai wants to go to the park!" mirai proudly announce.

"huh? Mirai, you told me yesterday that you want to go to your day care today?" akashi ask slowly sitting up on his bed. And when he was finally sitting on his bed and leaning on the head stand he hugged his daughter and kissed mirai's forehead which mirai happily returned it back.

"but Mr. yasu said that you are on a day off today and it's Friday, he told mirai that I can go to the daycare next week! Mirai want to spend daddy's day off with her at the park!" mirai happily suggested.

Akashi frowned his eyebrow he does not remember that he is on a day off today. Then moments later yasu appeared near the opened door and said "Akashi- sama your meeting with Mr. Hayato Osamu is canceled due to an emergency."

"I see, alright I don't mind spending time with mirai for today" he smiled gently to his daughter, and mirai happily cheered. "so where is this park that my daughter is talking about Yasu"

"it is the nearby park that mirai saw when you first arrived here at Tokyo." Yasu replied

"I see, I don't mind. So why don't we eat our breakfast then and get ready to go on that park then."

"yey! Mirai is so excited! This is the first time that daddy and mirai will spend the time on a park!" Mirai cheered and hugged akashi tightly. That sentence of his daughter bought guilt to his heart 'did she feel neglected when I am away?' he asked himself.

"Akashi- sama, I won't be accompanying you today. It would be more wonderful to Mirai if it will be only the two of you to spend this Friday.

"thank, can you help mirai prepare her needs before you left?"

"of course," yasu replied.

They took they're daily routine before setting out to go to the park.

It was a thirty minutes' drive from akashi's condo to the park, akashi park his car in the nearest parking space available at the park. Akashi unbuckled his seatbelt and get out of the car and proceeded to the passenger seat to get mirai and there thing. Akashi opened the car door on the passenger side and unbuckled mira's on her booster sit.

"now I want you to remember what I told you earlier. Do not speak with strangers when I am not looking or if we have much distance alright?" akashi said while lifting his daughter. Mirai quickly gave his father a nod so they can now proceed to the park.

When they arrived at the park, it was not that crowded, the place is also giving a relaxing ambiance despite some chitter chatter left and right. He put down mirai near to the playground where he saw many kinds playing in the area and again remind his advice before finally letting her daughter run to the playground direction. Akashi remain in at the nearest bench that he saw where he still can saw mirai clearly.

He slightly bowed his head and thought that he was glad to take mirai here at the park today, this was the first time that he see he smile like that, now mirai can learn how to approach and make friends to other kids around her aged. Despite their wealth and the things that he provided to mirai, he never saw her daughter smile and laugh like this when they were at Kyoto. When akashi lifted his head to search for his daughter, he saw that mirai had tripped herself on the ground and was now crying, he stands up immediately to run towards mirai when he had collided to a small figure.

"AW! That hurts, Sorry mister" a small voice said, akashi look down and his eyes widen on. Before he can voice out his apology to the boy, the boy was already running towards to his daughter to aid.

"hey are you alright? Little girl?" the little boy ask mirai

Mirai was still sobbing wanting her daddy to be at her side to aid her, but she still nodded her head to the boy to show her appreciation. She lifted up her head and see the boy's face, when she see the voice face, she suddenly stops crying and said " y-you are the boy on the other day"

"ow! It's you cute little girl!" the boy replied dumping his hanky to mirai's mall bruise.

"Mirai!" shouted akashi

"Daddy!" mirai teared up again after seeing her daddy come at her rescue. She was immediately lifted and hugged by akashi, still worrying about what happen earlier.

" Are you alright honey? Where does it hurt" akashi asked, rocking mirai back and forth to calm his daughter?

"mi-mirai's fine daddy, mirai just scrapped her knee on the earlier fall" mirai sniffed.

Akashi sighed in relief knowing that mirai did not get any serious injuries "that's good to know"

"ah daddy" mirai called, drying her tears with the sleeves of her dress "this was the kind boy that mirai met on the crayon store!" mirai pointed at the boy who was silent after akashi arrived

Akashi looked down and saw the boy earlier that he had collided with, the boy bowed his head slightly before saying his greeting "hello".

"hi, thank you for being nice to my daughter, may I know your name?" akashi asked, crouching down to be in the same eye level of the boy. He was in awe earlier when he sees the little guy, he looks so familiar to him.

"oh, sorry my name is hikaru" hikaru replied with a flat tone ad straight face. That somehow reminds akashi of kuroko.

"Nice to meet you kuroko, my name is Akashi Seijurou, and this little girl here is my daughter Mirai" akashi said.

"nice meeting you too mister and mirai, I hope mirai is okay, I saw her fall earlier because she was pushed earlier by the other kids" hikaru said.

This angered akashi 'who dares to hurt his treasure!' he though "who was this children hikaru, point it out" he commanded, he was not aware that he was giving a scary aura and a commanding voice to the young boy, but when he realized it he look down immediately to apologize to hikaru, but he was surprise when he saw hikaru didn't fear him and was pointing at the group of children at the playground.

"I really wanted to punish them myself like mommy was doing to bad children at school" hikaru eyes glinted "but mommy said that it was bad to punish someone if they didn't do anything at you."

'who was this child' akashi thought, he was amused to the kid. Really amused "can you look out for mirai for me for a while hikaru, I need to deal with the parents of those children, I'll punish them myself" akashi smiled sadistically

"sure, thing Akashi-san, can I bring mirai over there so I can be near with my mommy, my mommy will be worried if I'm away?" hikaru asked pointing out at the other side of the park where akashi sees a group of children and some teachers gathered on the place.

"alright, but take care of her ok?" akashi said staring seriously at hikaru which hikaru returned it back with the same intensity.

"yeah my mommy will aid her too if we go there." Hikaru said confidently grabbing mirai's hand.

Again, akashi was amused by hikaru, 'I like this little guy' he though. "alright, please do. I'll be right back after I deal with this matter. Mirai stay with them for a moment alright. Hikaru will be at your side." And akashi left.

"come mirai! I want you to meet my mommy! His over there" hikaru cheered.

"Okay!" mirai said taking their way to the other side of the park where the children's den is

When they arrive kuroko was frantic when he did not see his son on the group, he immidietely stand up to go look for hikaru when suddenly hikaru shouts "MOMMY!"

He turns around and see hikaru standing a few feet away from him, not noticing mirai behind hikaru.

"OH MY GOD BABY! WHERE DID YOU RUN OFF TOO! I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU"kuroko said hugging hikaru tightly

"I'm sorry mommy that I run off when you are not looking, but I just can't leave mirai hurt and crying on the other side of the park" hikaru said with a quiet tone.

"mirai?" that is when kuroko notice the little girl that was hiding behind his son.

"this is mirai mommy and she's hurt, look" hikaru said pointing at the scrapped that was on mirai's knee.

"oh my let's get that clean up ok sweetie?" kuroko said offering a hand and smiling warmly t mirai. Which mirai shyly return the smile back and took kuroko's hand. Kuroko lifted mirai and go to the table park where there first aid kit had been lay down. When they 're at the table, kuroko gently settled mirai on table and started cleaning up the bruised in mirai's knee

"owii!" mirai teared up again.

"I know that this stings a little sweetheart but we need clean up you bruise" kuroko said comforting mirai.

"mirai understand."

Kuroko was surprise that mirai addresses herself as a third person then he asked "how old are you mirai?"

"two"

"who's with you? Do they know that you were here?"

"mirai's here with daddy, he knows that mirai is here" mirai said which eases kuroko's mind.

"well, I did not know that hikaru has a little sister" aya suddenly voiced out.

"no, she's not hikaru's sister. Hikaru brought her here because she was injured." Kuroko replied.

"awww~ I'm sorry, did you tripped yourself honey?" aya asked mirai. Mirai only shooked her head

"no, mirai was pushed down by some kids" hikaru announce not happy after recalling the accident.

"my, my, an almighty prince" aya joked

"done, does it still hurt sweet?" kuroko asked

"the pain was lesser now! Thank you uhm."

"kuroko, kuroko tetsuya. You can call me kuoko or tetsuya pick which ever you want."

"tetsuya san!" mirai cheered, which bought a smile to kuroko's face. When suddenly, he hears the voice of the person that he does not want to hear ever.

"Te-tetsuya?" akashi called out. Surprised to see his ex- boyfriend today.

Hearing his name being called out by akashi brings back the painful memories that was buried deep inside him. he did no response immediately as his mind was in turmoil right now.

"akashi- san, mirai's injury is now ok. Mommy already cleaned it" hikaru voiced out and mirai happily agreed.

"tha-thank you. Hikaru" akashi's voice stuttered. "tetsuya" he called out again while unconsciously reaching out a hand and touch kuroko's back.

"don't you dare touch me." Kuroko said, the hateful tone was not hidden in kuroko's voice when he speaks. akashi slightly wince at the tone as he was not used to this kind of treatment from kuroko "ayako- sensei, can you please take hiraku and mirai to the group for a while." Ayako oblige silently and take the kids in a distance as she felt that there was a serious matter that they needed to talk to without both children's presence

Awkward silence flow in the air with the two males.

"how are you tetsuya?" akashi asked nervously

"as far as I remember akashi san, I told you that you don't have any rights to call me by my first name after that event. Or did your memory suddenly got bad after five years?" kuroko said with a venomous tone.

"I do I apologize about that" akashi said still staring directly at kuroko, who was staring back at him with hateful eyes, "can we talk? Even just for just a minute?"

"as far as I am concern we have nothing to talk about, akashi-san."

"I know but I just want to apologize about the things that I have said last five years a-" akashi was cut off

"and what, make amends with me? Ha! Don't be ridiculous akashi-san. And you have nothing to apologize for" kuroko fake a chuckle "as far as I remembered you" akashi point his finger to akashi's chest "you only want to end our relationship that time, I just make it official by agreeing."

"I know that I am the one who broke it first, but please do listen to me"

"I don't need any explanations from you. I hear you loud and clear that day. If you are only here to apologize to me, you have nothing to apologize for because you have done nothing wrong, we have already cleared it that day. And also, congratulations that you have married a woman who gave you an heir. "kuroko smiled at him sarcastically.

Akashi felt guiltier by the actions that he made five years ago, now that he realizes that he still wants kuroko by his side and love him again forever like he promises when he was still courting kuroko. He was about to speak up again to explain himself when suddenly a figure of a man appeared behind kuroko and put its arm around kuroko's waist. Kuroko flinched not went unnoticed by the two men.

"hey tetsuya, we were starting to worry while waiting for you, ne hikaru? and mirai here too is looking for her daddy." Then ogiwara look at akashi" I assume that this is your daughter akashi" ogiwara said directly smiling at akashi.

Kuroko was shocked at first, because of the hurt he felt when he hears that mirai is akashi's daughter. Why dint he realized it at first? He asked himself.

" shigehiro, I'm sorry to keep you both waiting" kuroko said, not minding the arm that was settled on his waist. "I'm sorry too pumpkin "he looked at hikaru.

"it's ok mommy!" hikaru beamed then hugged kuroko's leg.

Akashi now was more surprise, after hearing hikaru called kuroko his mommy. ' mommy? Kuroko, what the hell, and hikaru…. hikaru looks a lot like' akashi then stared at hikaru.

"I'm sorry akashi but we have nothing to talk about anymore, please refrain showing yourself from us again" kuroko said glaring at akashi that he didn't notice that he had raised his voice out.

Mirai stared at kuroko then at her father then again looked at kuroko before asking "is tetsuya-san is mad because of mirai and daddy?" mirai looked down, sadness filled her little heart.

Kuroko was startled at that question. He cannot hate the little girl, even though it was the evidence that akashi really did marry someone to have an heir, he still cannot hate an innocent girl, he crouches down and patted mirai's head "no I'm not angry with you mirai. I'm sorry about that. I'm just scolding you father for letting you hurt like that, please be careful next time alright?" kuroko gave a reassuring smile to mirai.

"really?! Then mirai can visit you and hikaru again sometime to play?" mirai asked innocently.

"uhm, I'm not sure about that mirai, but I guess if you visit us to play with my son I will welcome you"kuroko said wanting to punch himself for being a softie to children's.

'really mommy mirai can visit us?" hikaru again ask.

"yeah she can."

Both children cheered happily, not realizing the awkward air that was building from the adults.

"say why don't we eat already tetsuya, besides you are already done with lecturing mirai's father right?" ogiwara broke the silence.

"yeah, we should" kuroko agrees and again looked at mirai, "so mirai we are going now alright, always be careful so you won't be hurt again" which mirai happily nodded.

Ogiwara then lifted hikaru up and settled hikaru up to his shoulder and was first to walk because of hikaru's lead to go. Kuroko stands up again to ready himself to leave the father and daughter. When he felt a hand gripped his wrist. He was about to shove it away from him when he remembers mirai's presence is near them.

"is- is hikaru my-"akashi again was cut off

"no, his not. He is my son, and mine alone. So please do let go of my wrist I need to follow them shortly."

Akashi let go of kuroko's wrist before saying "then do you mean that mirai is always welcome to visit you?"

Kuroko wanted to say no, because he really doesn't want to see the other guy ever but seeing mirai's eyes again. There is something on mirai's eyes that he can't say no to the child. Then he replied "yes, but, I have a condition"

'I have a bad feeling about this' akashi though.

Then kuroko walk near akashi and whispered "as long as you would not be there with her, she can visit my son" and then he stepped back, "she can visit the children's den care school if hiraku is there with me. Well then I'll take my leave now." Kuroko waved back at mirai before jogging back to where ogiwara and hikaru is.

When he saw kuroko run toward ogiwara, he felt so angry and jealous, 'that was supposed to be me.' He though. Then he remembers the past again, but that will not stop him to get what he wants. No, not want's. It was what he needs.
