I wrote the for this for wonderful Chi (akashikuroko). I hope you all like it as well. AkaKuro forever~ Poor Sei-kun. So Tetsu-kun deprived that he uses Hiro-kun as a replacement. Wait... Don't tell me this is you being tsundere, Sei-kun?! *clear throat* Well, I could on forever about our beloved AkaKuro but I'll you all read.

If I owned Kuroko no Basuke then Akashi and Kuroko would alread be married and- Oh right... Shutting up now.

Noticing

Kuroko blinked, feeling rather uncertain.

Practice had just ended and his captain suddenly sat next to him on the bench and laid down using his lap as a pillow. This wasn't like Akashi at all.

A bit of pink colored his cheeks as his light blue orbs observed the red haired boy resting peacefully, eyes closed and chest in steady rise and fall rhythm. He couldn't take his gaze off of him. Akashi always managed to do that. During practice there would be times where Kuroko would catch himself staring at him and would turn away before his captain could notice.

Akashi was always popular amongst the student body, both the female and male half. It's actually not all that surprising. Despite the boy's rather harsh and sadistic personality, he had that air of a leader that everyone respected. It was the reason why every member of the team so passionately followed him. Well, that and the fact that he gets really scary when mad.

The sunlight chose that moment to peek through the windows and light up the school gym. Kuroko found himself entranced with shine of the soft red locks and reached up to touch them, gently brushing aside the long bangs. 'Akashi-kun is very handsome too.'

Suddenly, a hand gripped his wrist and blue eyes opened wide in surprise. They soon met with bright ruby orbs.

"I had no idea you thought of me that way, Tetsuya." An amused expression appeared on captain's face.

"Ah, Akashi-kun, you were awake? Wait did I say that out loud?"

Akashi chuckled softly and placed a light kiss on the back the hand which he held captive, the resident shadow blushing at notion. "Wasn't you who thought that on your own?"

"Akashi-kun, you've been acting strange lately."

Now moving to sit up, the red haired boy glanced back at Kuroko with a smile that sent a shiver down his spine. "Is that something that someone who stares should say?"

'He noticed...' Raising his arm to hide his blush, Kuroko directed his gaze away from his captain. "Sorry."

He missed the frown upon Akashi's face which melted into something softer as a sigh was heard. "Tetsuya."

Kuroko lowered his arm and turned when suddenly he felt something soft pressed again his forehead. He instantly recognized them as lips. Akashi had just kissed his forehead. Now he knew for sure that his face was red.

Akashi just smiled, placing a hand on the shadow's cheek. "Silly Tetsuya. Your eyes are to only be on me."

"Akashi-kun."

"Promise me, Tetsuya."

"..." Kuroko was silent was a few moments, just quietly matching the red head's captivating gaze before nodding. "Promise."

A flash of what looked like relief passed over Akashi's face. The captain then stood, gathering his things and took a few steps toward the door only to stop in place. He turned and faced the shorter male, hand held out to him.

You coming with me, Tetsuya?

Understanding the silent message, a rate smile appeared on Kuroko's face. Quickly grabbing his stuff, he ran over and joined his hand with Akashi's. Their fingers intertwined.

Always.
