Parties are enjoyable. Most people see it as a time to mingle and go crazy after a day full of stress and hardships. They are very enjoyable most of the times, especially if you are out with your friends. But sometimes, they can be quite a pain.

Now, Akashi Seijuuro isn't a loner. He just spends too much time buried in paperwork and attending to his company's status to take part in such escapades. But just like any other businessmen, he has a reputation that must not be tarnished at all costs.

So here he is now, walking into a pool party, taking a glass of wine that a personnel was offering on the way.

He stops in his tracks, sipping on the glass as his eyes darted around, scrutinizing the place. Now this isn't what he expected when his associate said 'party'. He didn't expect to see monkeys dancing around on the pool, wearing swimsuits. He expected a decent and classy party, not flashy lights and popping cans of brew.

He was snapped out of his trance when he saw a hand waving at him on the corner of his eyes. He purses his lips and puts the glass of wine on a tray that a personnel carried as she walked around to serve drinks.

"Yo, Akashi!", Aomine greets, slapping his shoulder. The heterochromatic eyed man's lips twitched a bit in annoyance. Clearly, Daiki is drunk. If he weren't he wouldn't have done that.

"Akashicchi! Its a pool party. Why are you wearing a suit-ssu?", Kise asks, downing a glass after.

"Shoichi did not inform me of what I should have worn when he invited me to this party", he states blankly. Kise pouts and whines, "Don't be so stiff! Have fun. D'ya wanna dance?"

"No, I'd rather not."

"Aww... why so grumpy? Are ya mad at me perhaps?~"

Akashi turns around when he heard the voice. Imayoshi smiles at him with that ever present damned grin of his. Akashi was about to congratulate him for the opening of his new resort when suddenly a loud fizzing sound errupted in the whole place.

"Don't worry. Its just the bartender doing his thing.", Imayoshi says, his grin not fading. Kise looks at the direction where the hiss came from and asks, "there was a bartender?"

"yup. Look." The bespectacled man points to the front, where a bartender is indeed serving drinks. Kise made a sound of amazement and exclaims, "Woah! There really is a bartender."

"Yeah. How come we didn't notice that?" Aomine sips on his glass, brows furrowed in confusion.

"Maybe it is because you're too drunk to notice-ssu", Kise says teasingly. Aomine raises an eyebrow with a lopsided grin.

"Oh yeah? And you noticed him?"

"Kuroko is just invisible." Imayoshi comments, taking a sip of his own glass. Akashi quirks an eyebrow and asks, "Kuroko? Is that his name?"

He watches as the tealhead handed a woman two glasses of beer with a blank face. For a person who is supposed to work in a lively place, he seems a bit dull. He continues giving out drinks with an indifferent and unwavering expression. It was like he does this everyday.

"Yep. Kuroko Tetsuya. He's quite cute, isn't he?"

Akashi nods and adds, "certainly. He is quite good looking despite his lack of presence."

Aomine makes a meowing sound and said, "Ooh. Akashi seems like he has hots for this guy"

Kise grins and nods in agreement. Akashi, who is now amused smirks lightly and says, "So what if I do? I might even hire him and replace Ryouta's spot with him"

"Hey! I earned that spot fair and square!", Kise protests. But Akashi paid no mind to his whining. He was too engrossed in the baby blue haired boy at the farther side of the place.

"You can't though", Imayoshi says casually, resting his chin on the back of his palm. The redhead quirks his eyebrow again and asks, " oh? May I ask why?"

"that kid's got spunk. I once made a move on him and I was rewarded with coffee and a burnt hand"

"He sounds rather interesting...", Akashi comments amusedly. Now this is a worthy challenge. One does not simply get rid of Imayoshi, let alone have courage to burn his hand.

"Oh yeah? I challenge you to go up to him then"

"You're on."

Akashi takes off his blazer and loosens his tie, rolling up his sleeves for extra charms. On the background, Kise and Aomine started laughing and cheering him mockingly.

He casually walks over to where Kuroko was. The light haired man took a cup from under the desk and poured it full with beer. Akashi takes it and makes a small sip before giving it back.

He wiggles his finger, signaling for him to lean in. Kuroko does so, though a bit reluctantly. Akashi could have sworn that he could drown in that vanilla scent if he didn't have much self control left. But he still has to do something.

He leans in, his breath tickling Kuroko's cheek. They stayed in that position for a whikle before Akashi placed a kiss on Kuroko's cheek and slipping a business card in his hand.

He leans back and turns on his heels to walk away, leaving a frozen Kuroko behind. He smirks to himself as the crowd parted while he walks, all of their eyes focused on him.

Suddenly, he felt a hand gripping his arm, causing him to turn around. He sees Kuroko holding a glass of beer, not looking amused and then-

splash!

Akashi closes his eyes as he felt the cold substance splash onto his face. And if that wasn't enough, once he opened his eyes, a slap landed onto his cheek, causing him to toss his head to the side because of the impact.

Everybody stared at Kuroko, and the teal head jsut scoffs before walking out of the place, this time leaving a frozen Akashi behind.

It took a moment for him to comprehend what just happened, but once he did, he couldn't help but smirk and think:

Well isn't this amusing...
