Chapter Text
Ever since he started dating Akashi Seijuro, Kuroko had discovered that Akashi had many sides of him. Akashi who appeared cold with his commanding aura was unexpectedly… had his own endearing sights. Some of them were completely unexpected and at some point were even ridiculous. For example, who will ever thought that Akashi will look cute in a shirt that is slightly bigger than his size –Kuroko had the proof and his friends can testify it-, Akashi is almost honest when he wakes up in the morning, he’ll be a bit cranky and sometimes curse when Kuroko pokes him in the ribcage –it’s really fun and he uses it as an advantage whenever he needs Akashi’s opinions or arguments-, Akashi loves Tofu soup but despises seaweed -anything to do with seaweed-, he could survive days without eating anything else but Tofu. It was absurd, totally unbelievable but Kuroko had seen all these sides of him, and they never failed to make him smiles, falls even harder towards his boyfriend. Every day, every time with him, there will always be new sights and experiences to be whenever they are together.
Kuroko just reached their house and was about to head to the bedroom when he noticed Akashi sitting in the living room alone. Akashi got the day off today and was looking forward to spend it with him but Kuroko had promised to hang out with Aomine and Kagami the whole day. He felt bad but promise is a promise.
“Welcome back, Kuroko.” Akashi said when he finally noticed him. His voice somehow sounded sullen but his face betrayed nothing. “Did you have fun today?” He asked again once Kuroko sat beside him.
“I did. Although, we kind of panicked when Kagami got chased by a stray dog…” Kuroko said monotonously and began telling Akashi about his day. Akashi only listened tentatively and occasionally provided some casual remarks. When he was done talking, he found Akashi was staring at him.
“Something’s wrong, Akashi-kun?” Kuroko tilted his head.
Akashi didn’t answer but instead he said, “I’m glad you had fun.” He smiled warmly and Kuroko can’t help but smiled back.
After a while, Akashi stood up and looked at Kuroko. “I’m pretty sure you’re tired. I have drawn a warm bath for you. Get your shower first before we get to bed.”
Kuroko blinked a few times before Akashi’s words finally hit him. “Thanks, Akashi-kun.” He said sincerely as he too began standing up. Akashi only smiled at him before turning his back on Kuroko and made his way to leave the living room. Kuroko stared at his boyfriend’s back retreating figure.
“Akashi-kun.” He stopped the male. When Akashi turned around, he added, “Would you like to watch a movie after this?”
Akashi almost looked like he was taken aback but a genuine smile formed on his lips when he answered.
“Why not.”
So that was how they found themselves in the living room surrounded with pillows and thick blankets. They were both in their pajamas; Akashi wearing light-blue pajamas while Kuroko wore red. Akashi was chewing the popcorn quietly while watching Kuroko to pick up the movie.
“What should we watch tonight?” Kuroko asked when he can’t decide.
Akashi looked at the box containing the DVDs contemplatively. “I don’t want something sappy tonight.” He finally decided.
Kuroko raised his brow at that. “Works for me.” He shrugged before grabbing the most decent movie he can think of. He quickly switched on the television and worked on the DVD player.
Kuroko took his seat beside Akashi and shifted closer to him until he can felt the other’s body heat. Akashi wrapped the big blanket he was using around Kuroko as well. Kuroko secretly sniffed the blanket when he realized that it smelled like Akashi.
“Thank you, Akashi-kun.” Kuroko scooted closer until their arms were touching.
“Popcorn?” Akashi brought the bowl in front of Kuroko.
“Sure.” Kuroko grabbed the popcorns and stuffed them into his mouth.
They didn’t say anything afterwards and paid attention to the movie. After a while, Akashi looked at him and opened his mouth.
“What movie did you choose?”
“Something that is not sappy like you asked.” Kuroko said nonchalantly before leaning his head on Akashi’s shoulder. Akashi just shrugged at that and shifted his gaze back on the screen. There was a comfortable silence in the living room after that saved for the sounds and voices coming from the speakers.
Around 20 minutes passed after that, and suddenly Kuroko had the urge to stare his boyfriend. It’s almost absurd but when he finally saw the expressions Akashi was making, he knew why.
Akashi was doing it again, unintentionally charming Kuroko with his many faces and expressions. He was always guarded, even when they are surrounded by their close friends, Akashi doesn’t express himself easily but when he does… it almost magical. Captivating to say at the least; and it made Kuroko craves for more. Kuroko wanted to treasure everything, wanted to commit everything so that he won’t forget.
His eyes traveled around the living room, they had turned off the main lights that it was quite dark here. Kuroko looked at the screen again, and at Akashi and saw that he was enjoying it very much with all the expressions he’s unintentionally showing. Kuroko’s lips formed a small quirk.
“Nee, Akashi-kun.” He nudged his boyfriend a bit.
“Hmm?” Akashi said without turning away from the screen.
Kuroko was silent for a second. “Thank you for the memories.” He said after a while and brought his head closed to Akashi’s shoulder again.
There was a small, almost unnoticeable hint of widened eyes from Akashi but after a second they were gone, replaced by a genuine smile and that was the time that Kuroko thought that he was so done, and should really do something about this. His hand slowly reached his smartphone lying beside him.
“Do you mind if I snap some pictures?” He looked up at his boyfriend who had been engrossed by the movie since then.
This time, Akashi tore his gaze away from the screen to focus on his boyfriend. “I thought you love this movie?” He questioned with a frown.
“Yes. But there’s something else that I love more here.” Kuroko stared Akashi.
Akashi stared back Kuroko, “Go ahead. As long as you are happy, I don’t mind.” He finally said before turning his face away from Kuroko. It was subtle but Kuroko’s eyes caught a small hint of red blossoming on Akashi’s cheeks.
Kuroko smiled in happiness at that, “Thanks, Akashi-kun.” He kissed his boyfriend’s cheek chastely. “Now focus on that movie and don’t mind me.” Akashi just chuckled at that before paying attention back on the screen. Kuroko found himself still staring at Akashi until almost a minute passed that he finally remembered that he’s supposed to do something.
