Akashi was still standing at his spot dumbfounded on what he just encountered earlier. He felt a soft tug on his pants, and when he looks down he saw mirai asking for him to carry her. Akashi bent down to pick up mirai and settle her in his waist.
"ne, daddy. Tetsuya- san is very nice look! He cleaned and put a cute band aid to mirai's bruise!" mirai said.
Akashi just smiled at his daughter and turned his back and take the opposite direction to where kuroko and hikaru is, but determination is not a missed on his eyes. He fished out his phone and dialed a familiar number.
"Hello, yasu, I want you to cancel mirai's enrollment in her current daycare" akashi didn't wait for yasu's reply and dropped the call
When kuroko reached to where hikaru and ogiwara is, his knees suddenly gave out. He was worried, surprised and most of all hurt of what he just discovers. 'so akashi really did marry another person huh, what a joke. Why did I even trust his words back then' he though.
"are you alright tetsuya" ogiwara said offering his hands to help tetsuya up. Which kuroko gladly accept
"yes, thank you" kuroko replied
"sorry about earlier, I really didn't mean to take advantage of the situation. But I just though it is go-"
"no, it's fine. You really help me back there." Kuroko said smiling. An ogiwara blushed.
"so uhm, let's go and eat then. Lunch is already ready."
"yeah let's"
They're day at the park after the encounter with akashi was great, the kids and hikaru enjoyed their day at the park doing fun activities that the day care prepared for them. In the middle of their activities, kuroko received an text message from kise inviting them to go to their house as they have special announcement to say to them. He replied that they will be their later and will also be saying the news to them. He also invited ogiwara as he was also close with his friends.
When they are sure that all the kids were picked up by their respective parents. The three of them also now proceed to go to kise and aomine's place. Kuroko was carrying hikaru as he was taking his power nap.
"he really did enjoy his day today huh" ogiwara said patting hikaru's head.
"yeah he really did" kuroko said looking down fondly at his son who was resting g at his arms.
"what would that new be? I am also excited to know about that." Ogiwara said.
"I think I have a hunch, but still not sure."
"what is it? Mind to share it with me tetsuya"
"no just wait for their surprise" kuroko teased.
"not fair" ogiwara pout.
When they arrived at the house, they just realized that they are the only one missing in the group. As they enter the house, kuroko asked aomine to put hikaru to bed first before proceeding to they're announcement, which aomine gladly oblige and took hikaru from kuroko's arm.
When aomine emerge to the living room where everybody was waiting.
"now you too spit that news out!" takao said.
"now now, I'm sure some of you have a hunch right now. "kise said hiding his hand where the engagement ring is placed.
"just tell them ryouta" aomine said.
"your no fun."kise pouted at his lover and then raise his with the ring. "well as you see it here. We are now finally en-"
"YOUR FINALLY ENGAGE!" takao squeaked and hurriedly stand up and run towards kise to look at kise's engagement ring.
"at last you finally proposed to kise just about time"Midorima said.
"yeah, it really took you forever ahomine" Kagami bumping his fist to aomine's shoulder.
"shut up Kagami."
While everybody was busy busying themselves on the happy news of the couple. Kuroko had stay silent which was not left unnoticed by Midorima.
"kuroko, you've been silent from some time now. Is there something wrong?" Midorima asked.
Everyone now turned their attention to kuroko, while ogiwara stay's silent, as he knows why the teal headed man is in distress.
Kuroko sighed deeply, thus he knew that everyone needs to know what happen earlier at the park. He looked up and search for ogiwara, who just nodded at him. he took a deep breath before saying
"akashi saw us earlier at the park"
And that was enough to make everybody to be worried.
"the hell!"aomine reacted.
"did he say something stupid again" Kagami then asked.
"no, actually it was an accident. Hikaru saw his daughter injured and brought to our side at the park."
"he has a daughter."kise gasped.
"that jerk really did it" takao andand Kagami reacted.
"does akachin knows about hikaru" Murasakibara asked. Which kuroko gave a weak nod as an answer. And everybody went silent.
"that's no good" kise said "we kept hikaru's existence for 5 years just to be discovered like that. He might fight for the custody of hikaru." he said worriedly
"i- I know that's why I'm really scared right now." Kuroko said gripping the end of his shirt "I don't know what am I going to do when that happen. I really didn't expect him to show up at that park"
"we can't predict what's going to happen starting today, but we cannot let him win that easily. Remember kuroko, he abandoned you, he doesn't have any rights to hikaru "
"we can't change the past kuroko, but we still have the future to change. You won't lose hikaru, we are here for you as we promised to you that day." Himuro said smiling down at kuroko
"plus His grandfather, masaomi akashi." Midorima said.
Flashback
It has been already one week since his official break up with Akashi, and kuroko is suffering from his morning sickness. But he was glad that his bot alone in this situation.
"Really kuroko your morning sickness is something, i think it better for us to go to midorima and let him check you out. You can barely eat. You can't even maintain the food in your stomach within ten minutes. And that's very unhealthy." Kagami said while handing a tea to kuroko to soothe the teal head.
"Yeah, i supposed we do need to visit midorima for this, can you call him and ask for a schedule. "Kuroko asked politely. Which kagami oblige and go to the kitchen to get phone. While he was waiting for kagami to return his phone suddenly vibrated. He checks the device and froze, he didn't expect for this person to contact him. As much as he wanted to drop the call, he just dont have the heart to disrespect the person. And kuroko push the answer button "hello?"
[Ah, kuroko, it's nice to finally connect to you. Don't you worry, i'm in my office and no one is hete besides me.] Said the voice at the end of the line.
"I-is there anything i can help you with Mr. Akashi? "Kuroko stuttered.
[There's something that i need to talk to you personally. Can we meet today] Masaomi Akashi said.
"Why does it need to be personal Mr. Akashi, i am not in Kyoto anymore,"
[I know that you are i Tokyo now, leaving with one of your friends kagami taiga. And i am at Tokyo as well. Don't you worry, I hide your location from my stupid son."
"S-sonyou already know Mr. Akashi, if you just want a confirmation, that news is true. "Kuroko said bitterly.
The other line went quiet for sometime before masaomi speaks again [ i understand that your still hurt for whta Seijurou had done to you, but i have a different matter that want to discuss with you. And i also want to apologize to you personally. So can you give me a chance to personally meet you today and talk?]
Kuroko still want to reject Masaomi's request of meeting him up, as they're might be a chance for his sone to show up. But hearing masaomi plead to meet him. He doesn't have the heart to rej3ct the man. "I understand, we can meet after lunch Mr. Akashi."
[Thank you, my driver and i will pick you up]
"There's no need to i can commute to the location that you prefer"
[Nonsense, the train is crowded. So we'll be picking you up to kagami's address at 11am]
Kuroko just sighed, not in the mood to argue "alright, please do give me a heads up if you're near at the apartment complex.
[Thank you, well now i'll be dropping the call. See you later kuroko]
Kuroko just hum and dropped his phone when the other line ended the conversation.
"Who's on the phone? "Kagami ask emerging to the room.
"It's Masaomi akashi"
"WHAT?! " kagami shouts, not expecting the older Akashi to directly contacting the teal head.
"Please lower down your voice kagami"kuroko winced "he said that he just want to talk, and he also told me that he didn't tell akashi my current location, even though its obvious that i am now living with one of my friends."
"Are you going to believe that old man?"
"I don't know. But something inside me is telling me tomtrust his words, so i decided to meet him and talk to him this lunch. "Kuroko said gently rubbing his still flat tummy.
"Whatever your decision is"kagami sigh.
Time skip
True to his work Akashi masaomi arrived at kagami's apartment before 11 am. After kuroko got in into the car they proceeded to one of the nicest restaurant in Tokyo that has private rooms.
"So kuroko, it's nice too see you again, even though with the current situation" Masaomi said aftter settling himself from his sit
"Thank you. It is not your fault Mr. akashi" kuroko said weakly,
"Are you ok kuroko? You're paler than normal?" Masaomi asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, just got dizzy from the car travel I guess"
"I see, I apologize about that. I'll let my driver know to drive later more smoothly"
"No It's fine. So what will be the things that you want to discuss with me personally, as you already know Mr. Akashi, your son and I already broke up"
"yes, I do feel responsible about this. Before I start. I deeply apologize about that scenario. You see, before that break up day of yours, I talk to Seijurou about having an heir." Masaomi starts, he notices that kuroko was trembling at his sit, but still didn't say anything "but I offer him do adopt a child for bout of you to take care of, and also subrogation, but he refused. He told me that it wasn't the same as to have both of your flesh and blood was on the child. But i understand, I did not imagine that he will come to that conclusion kuroko. I am really sorry" masaomi slightly bowed his head.
For a moment there was a complete silence in the room before kuroko speaks, " I understand Mr. akashi, you don't need to feel responsible about all of this. As you can see he made his decision already. And we know that once he is decided he will never let it go. And I respect that"
Masaomi look at kuroko and was surprise to see the young man in tears, he immediately stands up from his sit and approaches kuroko to give comfort. Which kuroko gladly accept as he clutches on the man's suit.
"Even that it hurts me, at least I know I gave him his last wish" kuroko said "and that is enough for me"
"But you're not happy, and the outcome is your happiness has been ripped by my stupid son"
I-if that what he wish for, Im glad to sacrifice that. I am confident with my self that I can recover and move on with my life. Even thought it will take it some time, I know that I can do it"
"I know, you are as strong young man kuroko. I know you can do it."
They were disturb with the sudden knock on the door.
"Gentle men's your food is here, can we come in to serve it" one of the waiter said.
"yes, you can come in" masaomi said strictly, and then looking at kuroko with gentle eyes" now dry those tears kuroko, no matter what I am still here for you as a second father even though my stupid son broke up with you. I'll be glad to punish him too for you"
Kuroko weakly smiled at masaomi. He was about to talk when the waiter's together with there food enters the room. And there he smelt something that increase his nauseousness. He quickly stands up from his sit, and rushes towards the restroom which was luckily not that far away from there location.
"Kuroko?!"Masaomi shouts "arrange the food while we're not here. We'll be back." And then masaomi hurridly follow kuroko to the restroom. He was surprised to hear a soft gagging sound coming from the said room. He knocked on the door not bothering to wait for the permission. And there he saw kuroko, crying while he is throwing up hardly. He rushes beside kuroko and gently patted the teal heads back for comfort.
After some minutes, of throwing up kuroko manage to stand up with the help of masaomi and rinse his mouth with the mouth wash that he brought with him. He was still crying after the earlier happenings. He look up at masaomi and said
"i-I didn't want for you to witness that. I did not want you to know this!"
A feeling of pity and nervousness was now growing inside masaomi"kuroko? What do you mean by that?"
"Please! Keep this from seijuro, I don't want him to know about this! I don't need him after that! i don't need his pity!" kuroko was now shouting hysterically.
"Please Kuroko! Calm your self down and explain it further to me. I'll promise you, I will keep this as a secret from seijurou"
After hearing that kuroko suddenly calms down and said "thank you" then he lost consciousness. Masaomi panic for a while before he contacted his driver to get the car infront of the restaurant to be ready to go to the hospital and he also call from some assistance from the restaurant crew. Masaomi carried kuroko bridal style and hurridly went out from the restaurant.
"Thank you for your assistance earlier, here is the payment for the meals that we order, this is the only cash that I have. You can keep the changenif there is." And that masaomi's car left to go to the hospital nearby. When they arrived at the hospital they we're immediately assisted by nurses.
After several minutes kuroko was transferred to a private room to rest. When masaomi enters the room kuroko ismstill lying unconscious on the bed with an IV.
"Ah are you this young man's father?" The doctor ask.
"ah, no, just an acquaintance" masaomi replied.
"I see, can we ask for his family contact so we can inform his family what happened to him"
"I do apologize doctor, but kuroko parents had already passed and also his grandfather"
"That's so sad to know, he is still young to be independent. How about his partner? "
"I am, his partner's parent. May i ask why are you asking for this?"
"I see, as i had checked earlier Mr..?"
"Akashi masaomi"
"Ah yes Mr. Akashi, as i said, i have checked him earilier and it seems that he is dehydrated and the nutrients in his body is very low. That alerts me, so i checked his blood and i also performed ultrasound to him and confirmed that"
Masaomi was now nervous, he swallowed slowly and readied himself to the doctor's news.
"Congratulation Mr. Akashi you are going to be a grandfather"
And that's it, the bomb has been dropped. How, how did his son left this young man to suffer alone with their child, he though. Masaomi was so surprise that he didn't notice that the doctor already left the room. He just continue staring at kuroko while the young man is still resting.
After several hours, kuroko stirred in his sleep and slowly he opened his eyes, he was confused as to where at first to where he is.
"Ah it's good to see that you are finally awake kuroko" masaomi said sitting comfortably at the sofa
" ? Wh-where am i?"Kuroko asked.
"I brought you toma nearby hospital, you collapsed at the restaurant remember?" masaomi said. Kuroko stare at him with bilwelder expression. In some minute kuroko bowed his head and said.
"C-can i assume that you already know my condition?"
"Yes"
And kuroko laughed, a defeated laugh. "I kept it from you and seijurou, as I don't want him to know this child existence. But i guess my effort was meaningless now"
"Kuroko why didn't you tell Seijurou about this. He might not break up with you that day if you have told him that you are pregnant"
"I am about to tell him that for your information. But he just cut me off like i am nothing to him" kuroko said weakly. "And the looks pf his eyes that day shows that he is 100% decided in his decision, that is why I granted his wish"
"But kuroko if you still tell him that you are with a child he will stay at your side"masaomi said
"I don't need him. "Said kuroko with full determination "if you just look at his eyes that day Mr. Akashi you will know what im saying." Kuroko face masaomi with pledging eyes "my only last request from you is too keep this from what he said and did, I cannot let him be back in my life, this child is mine and mine alone."
Masaomi just sigh. And look at kuroko, there is something in kuroko's eyes that he can't just refuse. "Alright, trust me kuroko I won't tell this to seijurou but can I atleas make a request?" he said. And kuroko stared at him for a moment before nodding.
"Can I at least be a part of my grandchild's life?"
"Huh, why? As far as I know your son and I relationship has ended" kuroko said
"Yes, I understand that. But still I want to be a part of that child's life. I want to him to know that he still have a grandfather. I promise you that he would not know about the child, and also the child will not know about his father's existence." Masaomi pleaded. " I have longed to have a grandchild kuroko, that is why I also suggested an option of adopting, but my stupid just made a stupid decision."
"I-I"
"Please. I want to help you not because of pity, but because of the role of being a grandfather"
"I- I understand. But you mustn't talk to my child when seijurou is around with you"
"I promise you. Thank you kuroko, I promise that I'll protect you and my future grandchild from him"masaomi swear.
"I'll be taking that words from you." Kuroko said
"Thank you, just contact me whenever you need help alright"
"Alright"kuroko said nodding
End of flash back.
"Yeah, you're alright. I don't need to worry as long as I have you all as my support." Kuroko said determined. And everybody smiled at that in agreement. The issue with akashi was long forgotten when hikaru woke up and cheered when he was told about his uncles engagement. There night continued to celebrate it happily.
