Chapter 19 - Found in Love

Kuroko's leg bounced nervously as he sat in a chair in one of the hospital's waiting rooms. This wasn't even anyone he really knew well and yet he was so anxious. He couldn't help it. He felt responsible somehow. He was the one to ruin the wedding and get Masaomi worked up. The thought of being the cause of Masaomi's heart attack, which could lead to his death... That's probably what's worrying Kuroko right now.

The others did try to cheer him up but it wasn't really working. His friends were now just waiting around like him and Akashi. They weren't as concerned for Masaomi though. They were there to give the two support, that's all.

"...What if this kills him or something?" Kuroko worriedly whispered to Akashi beside him. "It's my fault. I didn't... think this would happen. If he dies..." He really doesn't want to see himself as some... murderer, even if it wasn't on purpose.

Akashi placed his hand on Kuroko's own to comfort him, "You did what was right Tetsuya, it's not your fault." Their eyes met when Kuroko looked up at him, "The truth is that he had heart problems for a very long time. Ever since I was young, he struggled with his heart's health." Although since Masaomi wants to be seen as a strong man, he managed to hide it very well, "He forbid anyone to speak of his condition and so nobody other then than the maids and myself knew."

"It doesn't matter if he hid it. I'm still... responsible. I got him worked up and..." Kuroko took a deep breath and leaned against Akashi. "You don't understand... The feeling of having someone's life in your hands... It's terrifying." It almost sounds like Kuroko wasn't talking about Masaomi this time. "I don't want to be the reason someone... passes."

Having someone's life in your hands... Akashi knew it... That he was being selfish, very selfish. He knows that it's causing pain for his lover but... He doesn't know what to do. It's not as if he could fix it that easily as well... "I'm sorry Tetsuya." He apologised, feeling responsible.

Akashi looked up at the door of the emergency room in thought, "If anything, I'm the one responsible for this. I knew of his condition and yet I let this happen. I should have considered what impact it would have on him."

"...I guess we both messed up." Kuroko mumbled. He hated this. He didn't want this to happen. He just wanted to live a happy life with Akashi. He didn't want Masaomi to die to let that become possible. "I know he's done some awful things," like putting Kuroko himself in the hospital. "But I hope he'll be okay."

Akashi's eyes moved to look at the bluenette, surprised by his words. Masaomi did them nothing but harm, however, despite this Kuroko still wishes for him to get better. His lover is too kind for his own good and yet Akashi was glad. Kuroko is truly unique.

The red sign above the emergency room ceased it's glow as a doctor came out to inform them of Masaomi's condition, "We've managed to save him. He'll slowly recover in due time." And with those words, everyone sighed in relief. Masaomi wouldn't die, not today.

Nor would Kuroko feel horrible for leading a man to his death.

"When is he able to take visitors? And when can he leave the hospital?" Kuroko asked. Usually after heart attacks, the patient might stay in the hospital a few days for monitoring. But some can discharge early if they want to.

"Actually you could go and see him now if you'd like. As for when he can leave, he'll have to stay for at least a week so that we could monitor his recovery. After that he'll be able to go home." The doctor explained while Akashi nodded. They could go see him now but would Kuroko be up for it? "Are you sure about this Tetsuya? Even after everything he did to you?" Even after he tried to kill him?

"It doesn't matter what he did. I'm not cruel. I'm not going to ignore the man I almost had killed." Kuroko wasn't anything like Masaomi, so he wasnt going to just leave. He actually cared, so he was going to make sure the man was okay. "If you don't want to come, that's okay... You can wait out here if you want."

Akashi smiled before shaking his head, "No, I'll come with you." Even if he tries to tell Kuroko otherwise, the bluenette will still go see Masaomi. There wasn't anything that would stop him when he's like this.

With the doctor, the two made their way to Masaomi's room. Once they arrived and opened the door, they both saw the man laying down on the bed, unconscious, "Please be mindful of his condition so don't raise your voice." The doctor reminded, "If anything happens, press the red button and the staff will immediately come."

"We will, thank you." Akashi thanked the doctor before the man closed the door, leaving them alone with the elder Akashi.

It feels different to visit someone who you knew was there thanks to your doing rather than just visiting a friend or loved one. It felt... pretty horrible.

"I hope he isn't angry when he wakes up..." Kuroko sighed. "I didn't mean for this to happen. I just wanted to be with you." He said to Akashi.

"I know." The redhead held Kuroko's hand tightly. Looking at his father like this... It was surreal because Masaomi never shows this side of him to anyone. Once he wakes up, Akashi knows that his pride will be hurt. His entire life he has been conscious of his reputation, being mindful of it at all times.

"When you were in hospital like this, do you think he felt the same way?" Akashi asked his lover out of the blue. Yes, Masaomi was the one who ordered those people to run into Kuroko with their van. However, when he came to visit... Akashi doubted that he felt pity.

"I don't think he felt as guilty as this but..." Surely he felt something? He was human after all. Did he not feel any regret or guilt for nearly killing another human being? "I don't know... But like I said, I'm not like him. So I won't stoop to his level by not feeling guilty over harming someone else." Kuroko was determined not to change himself just because it was someone like Masaomi.

Akashi leaned closer against his lover, "You're too kind Tetsuya. People will take advantage of you this way... That's why I'll have to protect you in the future." He gently raised their interlined hands to look at Kuroko's ring, "It suits you."

"Don't make it seem like I'm a damsel in distress." Kuroko lightly nudged Akashi's arm before glancing at the ring as well. He really wanted to propose first! But oh well... He'd let Akashi win again. He'd get back at him in other ways. He still remembered their promise for bed~ Two of them actually! Not only will Kuroko top... But Akashi will have to wear cat ears for him eventually!

"I'd never do that. After all, you showed me your determination during the wedding. You've changed Tetsuya." Akashi moved to look at the bluenette, "Although I still won't forgive you for the ring. Did you know that I planned to propose for a very long time? I've always dreamed of it and so imagine my surprise when I found the ring in your possession. How bold of you~"

"When did you even take it? I've had it for so long. I had it before the wedding!" Kuroko couldn't help but wonder. "How did you get it? When?"

"Who knows? Maybe it magically teleported into my hands from your pocket?" But when Kuroko gave him a 'look', Akashi sighed, "I took it in the car just as we said our goodbyes."

"You mean..." During that hug and kiss? Ugh, Akashi was so sly... "What am I going to do with you? I can never surprise you." Kuroko complained with a slight whine.

"Don't be silly love~ You can always surprise me. For example, scattering rose petals all over the bedroom with you naked on the bed, waiting for me. That would be a dream come true." The redhead tried to imagine such a scenery, truly a wonderful dream.

"That's never going to happen." Kuroko claimed. That's too... embarrassing. The cliche rose thing... He felt so embarrassed every time he's seen it in movies and stuff. It's too awkward. "But you better not forget what you already owe me."

"Hmm? I owe you something? I wonder what it is." Akashi looked away.

"Oh no, you're not getting away with this. You promised me two things!" Kuroko reminded him. "You know exactly what they are."

"I don't know what you mean love. Are you certain that you didn't dream it?" Akashi had to try and get himself out of this, "Besides, I know that you have to make it up to me for stealing my ring."

"No, these were long due promises, way before I even found your ring." Kuroko huffed. "The promises, remember? I know there's the motorcycle one but the other two. The topping one and the cat ears." He wasn't going to let this go.

"I remember the motorcycle one but I'm absolutely sure that you dreamt about the other two. I don't remember making such promises." Akashi stood his ground.

"We are not seriously going to go through this." Not in a hospital. Also because there was no way Kuroko was putting up with this again.

The other sighed, "Then how about we talk about this later?" That plus Akashi wanted to postpone it further... He pushed a chair towards himself and sat on it, pulling one for Kuroko as well, "Today was suppose to be a joyous day and yet we somehow ended up here. What luck."

"Somehow we always end up here." Kuroko joked. "I'm a walking bad luck charm after all. But you're supposed to be my good luck charm. Is your good fortune running thin?"

"Of course not." Akashi was quick to say, "We both proposed and you did accept my hand in marriage. I would say that right now, I'm the luckiest man in the world and I'm sure that you feel the same way." He smiled, "Soon enough we'll be back home as well and as soon as you know it we'll have a wedding of our own. Then of course comes the honeymoon." Just thinking about it was exciting enough.

"Thinking about the future? Hah..." The two quickly tilted their heads to the side when they heard the weak voice of Masaomi, "This is it. I really did lose, didn't I?"

Oh, he was awake... "No. This wasn't a matter of winning or losing. You didn't lose at anything." Kuroko spoke softly. "I'm real sorry this happened to you. I didn't know you... had some health issues..."

Masaomi tightened his firsts, closing his eyes as well. To be seen in such a condition... "Where is Yumiko?"

"She ran away. We don't know where she went." Akashi said as Masaomi kept his eyes closed. If he had to be honest, he didn't know what to think. The person he wanted to marry his son to isn't even here... How ironic... "Why are you two here? Shouldn't you be somewhere else celebrating your little proposal?" But most surprising of all was the fact that Kuroko was here. Why would he make the effort to come? Even after everything Masaomi did?

"We aren't going to let you just lay in a hospital without making sure you're okay. We're not evil." Kuroko offered a hesitant smile. Hopefully Masaomi didn't just hate their presence instead... "I mean, there's not much to celebrate... We love each other, and that's all we wanted to show. Besides, we can celebrate later if we wanted to. For now, we're making sure you're okay."

Masaomi was quiet for a bit, opening his eyes to look at his son and then at Kuroko. The person that was the centre of his hate was now here and Masaomi couldn't understand it at all, "Despite everything I did to you? I even tried to kill you. Should you really be showing compassion?"

"Even if you did try to kill me... I still feel awful for nearly doing the same to you. I don't hold grudges and if I'm not upset over seeing someone almost die, I don't think I'd be human." Kuroko told him. "So yes, despite everything you did, I'm still here to make sure you're okay."

Despite everything Masaomi did? He's still here... But the elder Akashi still couldn't understand why. He tried to kill him, break apart his and Akashi's relationship so that they wouldn't ever have a chance of being together. He did everything in his power to get rid of Kuroko and he's still here? What was he suppose to think of this?

"Are you trying to say that you're a fool then? How am I suppose to believe that?" Masaomi asked in confusion as Akashi smiled to himself, "You're not wrong father, he is a fool. A very kind one." He glanced at his lover, "It took me a while to understand this as well but in the end it turns out to be simple kindness." One that is very rare but also deadly.

"Exactly. Except the fool part. We'll talk about that later too." Kuroko faked a glare at Akashi before looking back at Masaomi. "So... I'm sorry for causing this to happen. If I'd have known, I probably would have changed my way of going about things..."

Akashi placed his hand on Kuroko's arm, "I told you that I'm at fault for this Tetsuya. I knew about his condition and yet I didn't tell you." It wasn't Kuroko's fault at all.

As Masaomi listened to the two, he was engulfed in his own thoughts. He couldn't believe that Kuroko's coming here was simple kindness. It was so hard to believe... How could he believe something like this? The world is cruel so kindness like this doesn't exist. No, at this point it's really not kindness but foolishness.

"Now then... Since I'm here and the two of you are about to make plans to marry, I would like you to tell me what'll happen next. What do you plan to do in the future? Will you just live your days in the apartment? Hiding away from the society? Surely Seijuro, you will inherit the company, however, what then? There will be nobody to inherit it from you. The Akashi corporation is bound for doom. Everything I've ever worked on will be for nothing..." What was the point of everything he did then?

"W-Well, when we're ready, we could always... Adopt." Even when they were together, they didn't talk about children much. However kuroko would like kids eventually... But only when Akashi was ready.

"And we won't hide! We can still work and stuff. Seijuuro can choose to take over the company if he wants but... I can't stop him if he says no." Kuroko added. "We won't hide anymore. And hopefully we'll have kids one day. So please don't worry. Everything you worked for will not be wasted."

"I still can't understand how you could say that. Are you certain that you realise the weight of your relationship?" After all, everyone will look down on them! Surely Kuroko is not such a fool... "Also, adoption is not the same as giving birth yourself. It's worlds apart."

"We understand that." Akashi spoke up, "However, we've already decided on this path. Nothing you say will change our mind and I'm sure you understand that after all these years of trying to separate us." With that, the weight of their determination was more than obvious.

"It'll be fine." Kuroko reassured again. "I mean it's not like we're the first same sex couple out there." He decided to try to lighten up the mood. "So it'll all be okay. We'll work, we won't hide, we'll have kids... We'll be just like a normal family."

The elder Akashi sighed in defeat. He really couldn't do anything to try and tell the couple otherwise... They're dead set on their decision. All these years of trying... It was futile. Then again, even though he tried to separate them, these two are still together. Masaomi had to admit that that was truly astonishing. To have such strong of a relationship with someone...

"Give an old man some time to recover. I'm sure that the two of you have much better things to do." He told the two, meeting their eyes, "I'm feeling better so there is no need to worry about me. Go home, enjoy your new life."

Enjoy their new life... Was Masaomi serious? Or was this another trick? But the look in his eyes... No, it wasn't a trick. It was genuine. "Th... Thank you. We really hope you feel better soon." Kuroko told him with a soft smile.

The elder Akashi closed his eyes once again, sighing to himself. Really... His son is quite troublesome, "That's appreciated but now I'd like to rest. You don't have to come and visit since I'll be out of the hospital soon." He told the two as Akashi took his lover's hand, "We're glad to hear that. Then we'll be on our way." He smiled, finally his father accepted their relationship.

"Get well soon! And believe me, we'll visit again." Kuroko told Masaomi as they stood up. He wasn't just going to ignore him the rest of the week! That would be rude.

"Goodbye father." Akashi and Kuroko bid the other farewell before taking their leave. Akashi closed the door behind him before facing his lover, "It's finally over Tetsuya. Everything."

"Yeah... we finally don't have anything to hold us back." Kuroko agreed. It was still so surprising. They had no more troubles to face! They were finally free from all of their problems... They can finally be happy together again. "Now listen... I know we're technically engaged now, but the wedding can wait right?" Kuroko didn't want to just jump into a wedding immediately.

The redhead raised a brow, "Of course it can. Although that's strange... Aren't you excited for the wedding?" He asked in confusion.

"I-I am, I just... why rush now? We haven't been together in ten years... And now we're engaged. It feels really fast." Kuroko mumbled. "A-And I.. I want to plan... I know the wedding could be done instantly with your wealth but... I've never planned a wedding..."

So that's how it was? "I see." Akashi leaned closer to his lover as they slowly made their way out of the hospital, "We'll wait then, until everything is ready." They were still young too! They have so many adventurous things they could do! Kuroko was right, they still had time before the wedding, no need to rush.

And so the two lovers made their way back home, making sure to notify everyone that Masaomi was alright. Surprisingly the guests were content as well, shocked by what had happened at this very unusual wedding. Rather, could they even call it a wedding? It was as if they were invited to a proposal rather than a wedding but all in all, they did enjoy it. More so because it happened to Masaomi of all people, it was a very surprising sight to see. Many have expressed their get well wishes and good luck for the future wedding of both Akashi and Kuroko.

Things were looking up for the two as days went by and finally, it was the day before Masaomi's discharge from the hospital. He'd only have to spend the night and then he would be free to go. He didn't have any guests as of yet but that was to be expected since he only stayed for a short period of time. Soon he would return to his everyday duty-

Knock! Knock!

The sudden knocking surprised him. Could it be the nurses? "Come in." But then he was more than surprised when he saw Kuroko standing on the other side, holding... flowers? Why would he bring that? "Why are you here?"

What kind of reaction was that? Kuroko expected the surprise but still, to say it like that! It made it seem like he didn't want him there- "Haha.. I uh... I said I'd visit..." Kuroko felt a little awkward since he came without Akashi. Were the flowers too much? "Um.. I just came to make sure that you were fine before you discharged..." And he looked fine. But Kuroko of course noticed the empty room. No flowers? Gifts? Nothing? Did anyone visit him?

"Hmph, you didn't have to go through the trouble. I'm being discharged tomorrow after all." The elder Akashi folded his arms, although a small smile did escape him. It was so ironical... The only person who came to visit him apart from his son was the boy he wanted to get rid of for the longest of time. It was confusing and yet somehow Masaomi was glad. It seems that his son has chosen a good partner, even without him seeing it. Could he have been blind all along?

"Since you're already here, come in. I appreciate the flowers." Masaomi said as he turned to look at Kuroko.

At first Kuroko was dejected when Masaomi told him that, but then he cheered up when he said he could come in.

He walked in and closed the door behind him. Then he approached Masaomi, hesitating to put the flowers on the table. "You're not allergic to any flowers or anything, right? I'm able to put these beside you, right?"

But the other gave him a look, "Do you think someone such as myself would be allergic to flowers?" Only weaklings are allergic to such petty things.

"...You never know." Kuroko gave a reluctant smile before putting the flowers down. "I mean, you can't help what you're allergic to." He pulled up a chair to sit down but once again, he hesitated. "Can I... sit here?"

"I don't see a reason as to why you couldn't." And with Masaomi's words, Kuroko sat down. However, the tense atmosphere around them was still there. Actually now that Masaomi thought about it, this is the first time they're alone since ten years ago. Back then the elder Akashi came to Kuroko in order to persuade him to leave Akashi alone and he did succeed. Soon after Kuroko had left for England and then... Those were dark times. Having Kuroko back in their lives made such a difference without Masaomi even realising it. He's truly been blind for so long. He was still coming to terms with all of it...

"This is a perfect opportunity for us to talk Kuroko-kun. Soon you'll become a part of the Akashi family and so there are some things that I need to tell you. I need you to listen very closely."

Some things? Kuroko hoped they weren't bad! He also hoped Masaomi didn't have big expectations for him. "Y-Yes? I'm listening very closely. What... do you need to tell me?"

At least this way Masaomi was sure that Kuroko would listen. He took in a deep breath, "The relationship between the two of us hasn't been very bright, I will admit that. I've been trying to get rid of you for the longest of time, ensuring that you would leave our lives forever. However, now it seems that you were always fated to join our family. Despite everything I did, you're still here." He couldn't explain it any other way than fate.

"My son loves you dearly to the point that he would lose his mind if he's not with you. When you left for England, I began to doubt my actions. If I didn't send you away, then perhaps none of those atrocities in the past would have happened. In the end, it was all my doing. I should have taken another course of action." He admitted.

"Even though you'll marry my son, I still can't accept your relationship. Two men being in a relationship like that, I can't accept it. I'm a very conservative man and so I can't help but think in such a way. Although since my son values you so much, I have decided to try and understand what it is that connects the two of you. I may not understand as of right now but... perhaps in due time I will be a step closer." Masaomi turned to look out the window at the setting sun, "That is why I've decided not to interfere in your relationship with my son anymore. I wish the best for my son, every parent does. We only have each other to depend on after all."

It was believable. The things Masaomi did may not be ethical, but it was all for his son. Even if he didn't know it did more harm than good, it was all for good reasons. Masaomi was a good father.

"I-I know I'm not apart of your family yet... b-but please depend on me too. I don't want you two to face things alone. I'm here, and I'm willing to help in anyway I can." Kuroko said, determination on his face. He wasn't going to let either of them down.

Those words were so confusing to hear and yet they were said. Even though they started off on such a wrong note, now they were both willing to change. However... "Thank you Kuroko-kun. I appreciate everything you did for my son, even though I may have seen it as a hindrance back then. I did you much harm and even tried to kill you." Masaomi's and Kuroko's eyes met, "Whatever you do Kuroko-kun, please do not forgive me for trying to take your life. I was desperate and through my clouded eyes saw it as an only option." Masaomi looked away.

"It will be something that will haunt me for the rest of my life. The fact that I tried to kill... I tried to kill the person that my son holds dear. Such an act was unforgivable and that's why I will aim to repent for it for the rest of my life. I will do everything in my power to repay you Kuroko-kun. This is something I've decided on as well."

"O-Oh... I..." What was he supposed to say? What do you say when someone is apologizing for trying to kill you? "Okay... But please know I'm not mad or anything now. We can put it behind us, really. It's okay. You don't need to repay me in any way."

"I see." The elder Akashi looked at Kuroko again, "Thank you for those kind words Kuroko-kun but such a crime shouldn't be taken lightly. As I said, I will repent for it for the rest of my life in my own way." He was dead set on doing just that, "I never thought I would say this but... I'm leaving my son in your care. I hope that you'll be able to take care of him for me."

"Of course!" Kuroko's smile returned. "I love him so I'll take good care of him. I won't let anything happen to him." He promised. "Thank you for entrusting him to me."

Masaomi returned the smile, although unlike Kuroko's one, it wasn't as wide. For Masaomi though, it was a smile of closure. He could finally rest, letting his son live his own life with the one he loves. Kuroko was the one who came to see him, not Yumiko... It was finally over.

It's been a little over a year and quite frankly, Kuroko was confident to say that life was so great. Over the year, he and Akashi lived together like they've always wanted. Kuroko went back to work to help his patients and Akashi worked under his father's company.

They went on dates, went out with friends, or just relaxed at home with Nigou. It really was like it was meant to be. They hardly fought and when they did, it was nothing more than a pointless argument. "No, I don't need sunblock." "I don't need to be taken to the hospital, it's just a small cut." One time Akashi even tried to bring up how unhealthy vanilla milkshakes are. Key word: tried.

But over time, the two finally felt they were ready. Sure they were still young (do late 20's count?), but it's not like much would change. Except Kuroko's last name!

Yes, they finally got married! And while that was a big part as to why Kuroko was so happy right now, but there was another reason...

Kuroko happily twirled the fake, red cat ears with his fingers as he laid in bed. He couldn't keep a triumphant smirk off his face. Maybe Akashi did rub off on him a little... It was one morning during their honeymoon so the sun was shining in the room as if to reflect Kuroko's feelings. Yet his lover next to him couldn't see the lovely sun. "I know you're awake, Seijuuro~" Kuroko said without turning to face his lover in bed. "You can't see the sun if you keep hiding under the blanket~"

But as Kuroko expected, no response came. Akashi wouldn't budge, determined to hide his face at all costs. Such humiliation... He never experienced anything like this his entire life! He would have never done this, never, never, never, never! However, since it was Kuroko, Akashi did it... and now he regrets it.

Kuroko hummed a little and put the cat ears up. Then he turned over to look at the lump of blankets that was his lover. He purred as he moved closer to embrace his hiding lover. "Alright but if you don't talk to me, who's gonna help you when you try moving around with sore hips~?"

Kuroko felt the lump slightly move and then in a low voice, he heard Akashi speak, "S-Such a thing... I'll never do it again. I refuse to do so." His voice gained on strength as he spoke, "This will haunt me for as long as I live."

"Aww come on, that makes it sound like I did horrible." Kuroko gave a soft pout. "I know it felt good. You wouldn't have made such lewd sounds." He said, unknowingly adding wood to the fire. "Was it the ears then? I promise I won't do it again. But as for the other thing... Maybe we should do it more in the future." He continued to purr. It was one of the best nights he had!

But Kuroko was surprised when the blanket was suddenly moved away, revealing Akashi's face. The redhead seemed annoyed but when he tried to move on top of Kuroko, he quickly gasped in pain. Why did it hurt so much!? "A-Absolutely not! I prefer our initial positions after all... And why does it hurt so much!?" Did Kuroko always feel like this after they did it?

"Now you see how I feel." Kuroko smiled. He couldn't help it. Now Akashi understood why he told him "no" sometimes. "But don't worry. The more we do it, the more you'll get used to it. If you want, we can do it aga-"

"Absolutely not!" Akashi interrupted before throwing himself onto Kuroko, hovering above him before falling down due to the pain. How could someone move like this? It was impossible! What doesn't he do for love... Now that Kuroko tried it, he can't complain in the future anymore! "Mark my words Tetsuya, tomorrow you're mine. I'll be sure to hold you nice and gently~" All hell will break lose! It will be a night Kuroko will remember!

"Not if your hips are too sore." Kuroko said but even then he knew Akashi was determined to do it. Well, at least Kuroko got to lead once!

Their honeymoon was surely eventful because they left the country, travelling around the world with Akashi's private jet. They did 'it' multiple times as well and as Akashi promised, he did carry out his revenge on Kuroko. For a day the bluenette couldn't walk properly but Akashi didn't mind because revenge was so sweet. He did help his lover though, don't take him wrong. He's not as cruel as that.

Finally when they came back from their honeymoon, it was time to pick Nigou up from the dog hotel. However, what they found more than surprised them...

"Seijuuro! Look at them! They're so poofy!" Kuroko couldn't help but gawk over the pups in the area where Nigou and a familiar brown poodle was. It was Makkachin! What were the odds? Apparently the owners said Makkachin had already been there for a bit but when they came to get their dog, Makkachin was already pregnant! So they had to keep them there was Nigou until birth.

"There's so many!" Kuroko picked up one of the fluffy pups. They kind of looked like Nigou, but their fur was still curly like a poodle. All the pups were like that with various brown or black and white colors. "Sei! We have to keep at least one pup! Look at them!"

Ugh... Pups... Akashi already wasn't a fan of dogs and it was bad enough that he had to keep Nigou. Although living with the husky made him appreciate canines a tad bit more. He supposed that taking in one more dog wouldn't be as bad, "Alright, we'll take one home."

"Woof!" Nigou barked happily, reaching up to lick Kuroko's face before the pups went over to try and copy their father. Since they were so short, they couldn't lick Kuroko's face though and so they settled for the things they could reach. However, while Kuroko was busy looking at the pups, one lone puppy sniffed the air, following a particular smell. He followed and followed until he hit something soft... Kuroko's butt!

Kuroko made a yelping sound from surprise and quickly stood up to escape the pup. When he realised what happened, his eyes widened. "No! Not the innocent pups too! No, don't learn what your father did!" If they learned to point out that particular smell like Nigou always does, he'd die of embarrassment all over again!

As soon as Kuroko stood up, Akashi chuckled in amusement, "It's settled then. We'll be taking this one." He picked up the pup who ran into Kuroko, the small puppy softly barking.

"Seijuuro, how could you?" Kuroko pouted as he looked at the pup in Akashi's arms. Tch... He still looked too innocent! "Fine... But I'm making sure he doesn't learn how to do that any more."

Akashi held the puppy in his arms as he gave Kuroko a look, "Even though he already knows how to do it?" He teasingly asked his lover as Nigou barked, happy that his owners love his pups just as much as he does. Even if it's a tad bit more, their family has expanded just a tiny bit.

A week has passed since they met the pups but Kuroko and Akashi were planning to fulfil another one of their promises. It did take years to fulfil but Akashi was finally going to take his lover on a ride with his motorcycle. The two put on their helmets before Akashi started up the roaring engine that could be heard throughout the whole parking of his apartment complex, "Hop on love."

"I don't know, I've never seen you ride this thing. You better not have forgotten how." Kuroko told him but got on anyway. He didn't know where to hold on though so he just put his arms around Akashi. "Be careful..."

"Of course. I'm carrying the most precious cargo after all." The thought of teasing his lover did come to mind though~ Maybe he'll step on the gas just a tad bit but Kuroko doesn't have to know that beforehand~ With the two on them on board, Akashi put the motorbike in motion, driving out of the garage before slowly making his way through the city. Once they make it out of the city, that's when they could pick up on speed.

Soon the city buildings became less and less until eventually there was hardly any. That's because they were finally out of the city. And so far, Kuroko was enjoying the ride. It was fun and amazing! The wind in his face was nice and refreshing. Plus watching the world zoom by was a sight to cherish.

Well, kuroko was enjoying it until Akashi suddenly stepped on the gas completely, shocking kuroko. "Sei!" He whined when he heard Akashi give a small laugh in response. Just how did he fall in love with someone like Akashi? Well as he looked at Akashi now... Kuroko gave a soft smile and hugged Akashi tighter.

He couldn't find any reason why he wouldn't love Akashi.

Author notes

KurokoTetsuya101: THE END! FINALLY! A huge thank you to those who stuck around and continued to support us until the very end! There were a lot of controversies in the story, mainly Kuroko cheating on Kagami... We're really sorry for that! ;3; But... If we had Kuroko tell Kagami earlier, then the story wouldn't be as interesting :( That's my opinion anyway so I'm sorry to anyone who found this offensive or the like :( This scenario does sometimes happen in the real world though so yh... :(

One story is ending, but another will begin soon! :D Please look forward to our future stories and keep supporting us! Only with your support can we keep going on :3 Any art, translation or anything at all will cheer us up XD REVIEWS are the easiest thing you could do :3 Even if you just write "It was shit" or "It was nah~" We still accept it! We just want to know your opinion so that we can improve on our writing and future stories :3 We accept criticism as well so please don't hesitate to review :3 Thank you so much for your support and we'll see you in our next story! :D

P.S. About my last comment about Nash, I will stick with my opinion that he's pretty cool :3 Everyone has their opinion and I think that when you watch the movie and see the mini flashback of Nash's past, you will understand where he's coming from. I also think he's the best opponent for Akashi and is just cool overall XD Then again, that's my opinion. Everyone is free to dislike him, hate him or like him :3

P.S. (point 2) XD We don't know when we'll post our new story or when we'll update the wolf story as of yet. We'll definitely update the wolf story this month! That's for sure :3 We'll keep informing you in the notes of the wolf's story what our future plans are.
