Title: Breaking Habits

Summary: Akashi learns why Kuroko has such an infatuation with vanilla shakes.

Author Notes: Hello sorry for not updating in weeks. My reasons are typical and mundane, so it's probably what you think. School, laziness, yep.

I do have a few one shots planned, each having a different percentage of completion so I hope I'll be able to upload those soon.

This may or may not have a similar feel to "pets". And again, I am absolutely sorry for any grammatical errors, or OOC moments. If there are any, feel free to point them out! Just be specific, don't just say "This is pretty OOC", cause then I can't do anything to fix it.

Also, I mentioned this scenario on tumblr. So if you happen to stumble upon it, it's from me.

It seems while he was in a relationship with Kuroko, this situation will occur frequently.

"Thank you very much." Kuroko said to the lady behind the counter, taking the vanilla shake he ordered. Kuroko placed the needed amount of money on the counter, in which the lady accepted, smiling. "You're welcome, Kuroko-san. I'll see you soon."

Kuroko nodded, and began walking towards the exit. Akashi simply watched. This interaction between Kuroko and the cashier soon became a routine for Akashi. Ever since Akashi had been with Kuroko, Akashi had visited Maji Burger more times than he had expected to in his life. He thought he would enter Maji Burger at least 3-5 times. But with Kuroko? Akashi had entered the fast food restaurant at least 16 times so far, all for the same reason.

A vanilla shake. It had come to a point where Akashi would mentally say Kuroko's order, in the exact same, monotone way. There were times where Akashi even mouth Kuroko's words. "One vanilla shake, please." This was something Akashi had heard on a weekly basis. And with the cashier saying "I'll see you soon." It's no doubt that Akashi will be back at the restaurant again...and again.

Kuroko wouldn't even let Akashi pay for the vanilla shake, no matter how many times he had offered too. This made Akashi feel... well, strange.

The shorter of the two held the door, so Akashi would be able to walk out. As they began to walk away from Maji Burger, Kuroko placed his lips on the straw of the drink in his hands. One could almost tell when the liquid had reached Kuroko's mouth, with the tiny smile he made a moment later.

As amusing the smiles were to Akashi, he still felt unsure about this continuing cycle of purchasing a vanilla shake after school, once a week. One would think Kuroko would eventually be tired of the sweet drink after consuming it for so long, but nope.

Akashi stared at Kuroko consuming the shake for a few moments before saying "Kuroko, I'm concerned about your frequent intake of Vanilla shakes. Surely you must know those aren't healthy."

Kuroko didn't turn his head to face Akashi, and replied "Yes, I am quite aware of the unhealthiness of a vanilla shake." He proceeded to take a sip of the shake afterwards.

Akashi narrowed his eyes, interpreting Kuroko's actions as a way of mocking him. He forgot how cheeky Kuroko can be sometimes. Thankfully, he was able to tolerate it with Kuroko.

"I'm sure you have the ability to take a short break from that drink. Even just one week without it." Akashi said, lowering his eyes on the vanilla shake, as it shifted position constantly, from being lifted to Kuroko's mouth, to being lowered.

Kuroko didn't reply right away, as they came up to a stop light. Akashi stared at Kuroko, awaiting his response, if there will be one. When the 'walk' light blinked, both individuals crossed the road, managing to stay together despite the crowd that came from both sides of the road.

When they arrived to the other side, Kuroko finally said "I've been drinking vanilla shakes for years, Akashi-kun. I can't just break a habit I've build up for so long. You'd probably be the same way."

Akashi averted his head away from Kuroko and responded with "I doubt it, that sweet drink doesn't exactly appeal to me.

The two didn't say anything right after that. Kuroko continued to take sips from his vanilla shake, while Akashi tried to focus on the path before them. However, the soft slurping sounds he heard beside him were rather difficult to ignore, especially since the drink was the subject of the conversation.

After a few minutes of walking in silence, Kuroko took a long sip from his vanilla shake before holding it out to Akashi. Akashi saw this through his peripheral vision and looked at the drink with confusion.

"You can try it if you like." Kuroko offered, while swallowing the liquid in his mouth.

"I told you, I'm not inter-" Akashi stopped when an idea came to his mind. His eyes shifted from the drink, to Kuroko. He then said "Hmm, alright."

Kuroko held the drink out further to Akashi. However he then brought it back slightly when he noticed Akashi moving closer towards him, seemingly ignoring the drink completely.

"Akash-" Kuroko's words were cut off when he suddenly felt something warm and soft against his lips. He also began to feel pressure on both his shoulders, as two hands were placed on them.

Kuroko's eyes widened. The rest of his body remained still, while Akashi's lips moved around on his. It took a lot of focus for Kuroko to not end up releasing the cup from his grasp.

The shorter male felt heat building up on his face, and it intensed even more when he felt Akashi's tongue brush against his lips, but not in a way that made him open his mouth.

The kiss was short in reality, but felt like an eternity. After a few moments, Akashi pulled back, letting out a pant, which brushed Kuroko's mouth.

Akashi removed his hands from Kuroko's shoulders, and licked his own lips. "Hmm, perhaps I was incorrect. Vanilla shakes do have some sort of appeal to them." He said in a casual tone.

Kuroko's eyes remained wide, while he covered his mouth with his only free hand. The warm impressions of Akashi's lips were still there.

Akashi began to walk forward. "I wouldn't mind having another taste." He added rather smoothly.

That sentenced intensed the heat on his cheeks even more. Kuroko could imagine that his face was as red as Akashi's hair.

"Come on Kuroko, we're close to your house." Akashi called out, not turning back to Kuroko.

Kuroko forced himself to snap out of his thoughts and walked fast so he could catch up to his captain.

While the two were walking, Kuroko had removed the hand covering his mouth. He now made a pouty expression, as he brought up his vanilla shake to take another sip.

"That was mean, Akashi-kun..." Kuroko muttered, his voice slightly muffled with his mouth still around the straw of the shake.

Akashi didn't reply. Unlike Kuroko, Akashi seemed completely unfazed of what just happened. Of course, since he was the one that made it happened. His face displayed no emotions, as usual.

Kuroko tried to hide his face away from Akashi, trying to hide his blush.

However, nothing could be hidden from Akashi, even the Kuroko Tetsuya who lacked presence.

The smirk that soon crossed Akashi's lips proved that.

Author Notes: I hope that was enjoyable. Again, please correct me if I made any grammatical errors or OOC moments.

I've been planning out the prompts I've received so far. When they'll actually get done is uncertain, as I'm still working on the stories I've come up with myself.
