"Akashi kun" Kuroko said as he fidget

"What is it Tetsuya?"

"I...I... li..like... yo...you" The boy stuttered. He was afraid of rejection but he mustered his courage and decided to confess to Akashi, Teiko's Basketball team captain.

*flashback to a day before*

"Aomine kun, Kise kun..."

"yeah?" "Kurokocchi! what is it?"

"i think i am being weird... i dont understand what i am feeling. especially when akashi kun is around, i feel weird. very weird."

Aomine and Kise looked at each other then they both smiled at Kuroko. Aomine has been dating Kise since the victory of the winter cup and they spent that white christmas together.

"tetsu... your school results may be good but you're stupid when it comes to things like this"

"I don't want to hear it coming from someone who failed his tests and had to stay for class during summer break" Feeling unhappy about being called stupid, Kuroko walked towards Aomine and gave him a sharp jab at his ribcage.

"Aominecchi! Are you alright?! KUROKOCCHI! what are you doing to my lov... to aominecchi?!" Kise turned red immediately. He wished he had a hole where he could hid in at the very moment. (What a close shave. Kuroko doesn't seem to know about aomine and kise's relationship)

"to your what?"

"its nothing! Just a slip of the tongue" Kise turned even redder and soon ran out of the gym giving a pathetic excuse, leaving Aomine to help kuroko notice his own feelings towards Akashi.

"Do you like akashi?" Being as straightforward as ever...

"Like? Yeah i do. Akashi helps me alot and i am really grateful"

"THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT! like.. more than just friends. ARGH! Do you love Akashi in the romantic way?!"

"i... i... dont...know..." kuroko blushed hearing the word 'love' and 'akashi'. He was indeed in love with Akashi but he had never fallen in love so he did not understand what he was feeling.

After a long talk with Aomine and Kise(who came back to the gym eventually and told kuroko about the two of them dating) , Kuroko decided to tell Akashi how he felt. But what he was most afraid of was rejection.

*Back to scene*

"Tetsuya I..."

"I'm so sorry" Even before Akashi could continue his sentence, Kuroko dashed off. But Akashi managed to catch up with him since Kuroko is not as fit as Akashi.

Akashi grabbed Kuroko's hand and pulled him towards his body. Akashi hugged kuroko and whispered

"do you know how long i have been waiting for you?"

"Akashi kun... so?"

Kuroko looked up at Akashi who could not resist and kissed Kuroko.

It was late and the last train has left the station long ago. They walked to Akashi's apartment under the beautiful moonlight. Kuroko was going to stay over at Akashi's place after they finally revealed each other's feelings towards one another.

*Setting Change: Akashi's house*

Akashi's house keys had a really unique scissors keychain. A hand on Kuroko's shoulder while they other opened the door with ease and both boys made their way into the house.

Kuroko was shocked to see that Akashi had scissors wall papers and even his bed frame had scissor patterns... Akashi always have a pair of scissors in his pockets. Even his school uniform was specially made in order to fit a pair of scissors. Unlike Midorima who held things for a reason(horoschope...) ,Akashi had no reason to carry a pair of scissors around wherever he went.

Pushing Kuroko into the shower, Akashi went to get a set of clothes from his cupboard. He did not need to worry about the size since both guys were about the same build. He picked up a pair of red scissors print boxers and a set of pyjamas. Just as Kuroko was fully undressed, Akashi strolled into the bathroom and hung the clothes on the rack. Kuroko blushed and quickly bent down to avoid Akashi from seeing his naked body. He only chuckled and left the bathroom, leaving Kuroko to stand in the shower...

Kuroko hastily put on his clothes after hearing Akashi's summon. The generation of miracles have never disobeyed Akashi's orders. Well, actually they did. Kise tried to defy Akashi but instead of getting what he wanted, a pair of scissors came flying at him. It glided past his face and created a small cut... Putting him out of work for a month in so that his wound could recover fully and not leave any scars. since then, no one ever dared to defy Akashi for all they know, the pair of scissors might come flying straight at their face.

Kuroko sat beside Akashi on the large king sized bed. It felt awkward for both parties at it was their first time spending the night together. They had no idea what to do or what to say. Suddenly, Akashi placed his hand on Kuroko's and said "You must be tired. Go to bed." Akashi then quickly left the room with a flushed face.
