"Let's go back to Tetsuya's place," Ai suggested, "I don't think that I should talk about this in the open air like this."

Ai was currently in a situation where his data would've never predicted. He was currently in Kuroko's house with an angered red head that has been calm toned that has been quite concerning to the cyan haired robot.

"I'll ask you again. Who are you and where is the real Tetsuya," the red head demanded. Ai tried coming up with a good answer, but his mind couldn't think. He assumed that the malfunction was because of his overdrive burning up.

"My name is Mikaze Ai from a group titled QUARTET NIGHT," he explained, his voice box messing up towards the middle. The stranger seemed to notice that and cocked an eyebrow to him. Ai motioned for him to wait a moment as he tried to fix it.

"Well that's not good," Ai murmured to himself. Nevertheless, he continued on. "As for the where about for Tetsuya, he's somewhere in Japan, in my place, and quite possibly distrupting my relationship with my subordinate," he informed, voice box seemingly back to normal.

"How did this happen?" he asked. "And what did you mean when you said 'well that's not good'?"Ai confirmed that this 'Akashi' person asks too many questions. Mentioned teen slightly glared down at him as if knowing his exact thoughts.

"Neither of us know why or how this happened, it just did. As for the latter question, I'm afraid that information is unavailable." The answer seemed to anger 'Akashi', but before he could add anything, his phone beeped, notifying that he got a text message.

"Read it aloud," the red head commanded.

To: Kuroko Tetsuya
From: Mikaze Ai
Message: I have found myself in quite the predicament this time. How would you handle a situation if you and Kurusu-san had to fake a date? It seems Akashi-kun has found out our facade. I'm sure you've already told him the truth, but if you haven't, you shouldn't hide anything from him.

To: Mikaze Ai
From: Kuroko Tetsuya
Message: I've already informed him about our situation. For the problem with Syo, try to make it seem real, but unreal at the same time. Also, the minute he starts suspecting something, tell me. Your friend really isn't the patient type, though, so I have to cut it short this time. Good luck with Syo.

"Your story is very unbelievable," the latter replied. Ai nodded, not wanted to ruin his voice box even more. "What, have you run out of things to say?" Ai rose an eyebrow at that.

"I could go on and on about this current subject, however I really must fix my problem, so if you may excuse me, you must leave," Ai replied in a calm voice.

"Why should I? I believe I am able to assist you with anything that could be troubling to you," Akashi countered. Mikaze sighed and shook his head.

"It's too complicated and I don't believe I trust you near my-"
Before he could say anything more, his voice box started to release pulses of static uncontrollably. He laid down and before he could shut down, he saw an uncharacteristic worried stare of an Akashi Seijuro.

Once the two arrived, they were immediately attacked by a red headed teen, Ittoki Otoya.

"Since when were you two dating?!" He yelled, more shocked than angry. Kuroko and Syo shared glances and Kuroko started to explain.

"We've never been dating. It was a misunderstanding by the media and a miscommunication," he said calmly. The red head was then lifted off them by an indigo haired teen, presumably Tokiya Ichinose.

"But the picture we saw-," a boy haired teen with mesmerizing eyes started, "It showed both you and Syo at a restaurant and Syos face was really red!"

"Yeah, as red as a newly budded roses. Did you put any moves on Ochibi-chan or something, Mikaze?" the blond, flirty one, Ren Jinguji, smirked.

"It wasn't like that!" Syo seethed. "The only reason why my face was red was because Ai was being stupid and oblivious to the obvious love looks the waitress was giving. Also, for the record, it wasn't a date, I just wanted food so I tagged along."

"Yes, and unfortunately Saotome decided it would be a good idea to go along with the press and rumors," Kuroko added. He didn't know how Ai would react, but he couldn't just stand there... Right?
"Besides, even with this rumor going on, it shouldn't hinder our schedules, and this doesn't even apply to you, anyways. Go back to whatever you were doing, and if you really have nothing to do, pratice your song for the UtaPri awards again," he ordered, though his voice was as passive as ever.

The group, even Syo, blinked at the sudden outburst, but then recovered from the initial shock and left. Once they were gone, minus Syo, Kuroko sighed heavily and fell onto the bed, closing his eyes.

"...I've never seen you like this, Ai," Syo said after a few silent moments. "You're always so... Calm and collected. Is the media stuff getting to your head?" Kuroko opened an eye to Syo. He thought a moment before replying.

"Not really. I've just been passive passive instead of passive aggressive lately. Anyways, I thought I told you to go practice for the competition." In response, Syo retaliated by scoffing and sitting on the ground.

"Who do you think you are, my parent? Besides, I wanted to make this media message work in a way. They want us to be dating, right? Why don't we just date?"
