Cellphone Novelist AU

Kuroko sighed. It is already Christmas Eve but then his boyfriend told him that he has an important meeting with the publishers.

Who would even talk about work at times like these?

Kuroko slumped on their couch and stared at the ceiling. He was already finished in preparing everything for Christmas but then the red head just had to tell him about the meeting. Definitely, Kuroko is sulking.

His boyfriend was already in the writing industry for over 5 years now and that meant that they've been together for those years too and Kuroko wants to settle down. He's even giving subtle hints to the redhead but he seems to be not getting it or is avoiding it all together.

Maybe the red head does not want to get married at all?

Kuroko inhaled and exhaled deeply, venting out all of his worries in the air. He looked over at their table and saw the things that he cooked himself, in hopes that he'll share them with Akashi on Christmas day. But since the red head is not present right now, Kuroko also lost the appetite to even eat.

Kuroko thought back on their relationship; in their first year together, everything went smooth but then popularity rose for the red head and now for every corner and every month, Akashi would go on trips to have a book signing. The red head makes up for it though, he always take Kuroko on dates or maybe sometimes they would just spend time with each other while lounging on the couch and sharing small kisses and subtle touches here and there. But of course there's the company party and whenever Akashi is there, guys and girls alike flock around him and it makes Kuroko's blood boil, but of course being the nice person that he is, he just brushed it off. Thank goodness Akashi got the hint because now, the redhead would always be with Kuroko during the whole duration of the party if there's any.

With nothing else to do, Kuroko reached for the remote come where scattered on the couch and opened the television. He's not technically searching for anything and so he just browsed aimlessly, hoping to pass the time until his boyfriend comes home.

In the midst of browsing through the channels, his phone vibrated. Kuroko fished it out from his pocket and the messenger ID made him become worried. It was a text from Akashi. It's either he'll tell Kuroko that he's on the way home or—

'I'm sorry Tetsuya but my editor does not want me to go yet. Can I ask you to bring me some spare clothes here in the building? I can't come home myself.'

Kuroko frowned. He guessed his perfect Christmas with his boyfriend would not happen at all. Kuroko trudged to their shared bedroom and grabbed spare clothing for Akashi to last for tonight and tomorrow morning. Once everything was set, Kuroko grabbed the keys to their house, went outside and locked it for a while. The trip to the company would surely be heavy.

Kuroko arrived in the establishment 30 minutes after by walking. He forgot that he could just easily take a cab but his heavy heart decided to sulk a bit more. Kuroko entered the building and noticed one weird thing; Akashi told him that he editors and authors are in a rush but why are there no people on the first floor and that the receptionist is not present?

Kuroko shrugged it off and guessed that they are most probably in their own departments working their asses off. Kuroko approached the elevator and entered it; he punched the floor number of Akashi's department and waited for the elevator to take him there. Up until now, Kuroko still has a heavy heart but he continued nevertheless.

When the elevator door opened, Kuroko was even more suspicious to what he saw; the floor is deserted and is pitch black. No lights from any department are open and the floor is completely deserted. Kuroko opted to just go back but then a speck of light came just right in front of him. It was a small light bulb and it illuminated a part of the floor. From what Kuroko can tell, the floor seems to be scattered with pieces of something, though he cannot pinpoint what.

Soon a new light lit up; it was another light bulb and by this time, Kuroko can make out that the scattered things are rose petals. He squinted his eyes at this, why are rose petals scattered around a floor that is supposed to be buzzing `with busy bodies?

A new light then lit up, then another and another, until it lit up until a corner, making a path of lighted light bulbs. Kuroko raised his eyebrows and followed the path; he can make out the path made by the rose petals too. The farther Kuroko goes into the floor; lights light up to show him the way.

The lights eventually stopped at a door. The blue head looked at the sign at the door,

'Literature Department'

Kuroko nodded to himself and heaved sigh, whatever Akashi had in store will make him happy.

Kuroko slowly opened the door and peeked inside.

The room was dark too, save for a few candles placed on the floor to make out a shape a heart and inside the shape, roses filled it in.

"Tetsuya"

Kuroko panned his head to the side and then the lights suddenly lit up, revealing a nicely decorated office, friends and family on the side, flower petals scattered around and Akashi is in the middle of the room, with a soft smile on his face.

Kuroko cannot believe his eyes at the sight. He might get the gist of it but he's still unsure himself.

Akashi moved forward until he was in front of Kuroko.

"You've been my anchor all this time. Your help was what got me up; in return, I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Kuroko does not know what to say, and he's sure that the bag that he brought along was on the floor now. Kuroko has both his hands on his mouth as he's fighting tears to come down his face. The blue head cannot speak anymore and his whole body is trembling with delight and excitement. He looks around in the room and all of the people there are looking with expectant and happy eyes.

Akashi smiled once more before kneeling on the ground with one knee. He then brought out a small velvety box from his back pocket and looked up at Kuroko.

"Would you, Kuroko Tetsuya, be willing to have me as your life partner forever?"

Akashi opened the box and it revealed a silver band that Kuroko dreams about. The blue head does not know what to say and tears that are falling increases. It seems like the only gesture that he could make right now is to nod and mumble out 'yes'

"Yes."

Kuroko said a little louder and brought Akashi up with his arms and attacked the red head with a kiss. Although he is shocked, Akashi returned the kiss with much passion and intensity. The crowd behind them cheered and sobbed for a wonderful sight.

Truly this is the most wonderful winter gift.

A/N I feel so horrible on not finishing this on time—

Welp guys, Happy new year! May we all have a prosperous year!
