Have Dinner With Me
Kuroko looked at himself in the mirror. Originally, he would've preferred to teach something like a preschool or kindergarten class but here he was, about to teach freshmen in high school, even his son.
"Good morning dad…" Tetsuo yawned as he stuck his head in his room. "You're up earlier than usual?" the boy yawned as he walked towards his dad, Kuroko pinched his cheek and smiled.
"I'll be going to see Akashi-san and talk about the job, okay?" the boy yawned again and nodded. Walking towards his dad's bed and laying down again.
"I sleep," he said and Kuroko shook his head.
"I'll drive you to school today so get ready, I'll be in the kitchen with grandpa," Tetsuo groaned as he walked into Kuroko's bathroom.
"Hohoho, Tetsuya-kun, looking sharp quite early in the morning!" Kuroko saw his father-in-law on his wife's shrine, Kuroko knelt down by him and smiled.
"I'll be taking a job over at Tetsuo's school, it'll be nice to have some other interaction now that I'm back in Japan," Kuroko told the older man who stood up and nodded.
"That's good young man, I'm glad you're finally getting out of the house, maybe you'll be able to find a significant other again?" the old man smiled as he patted Kuroko's shoulder. "It's what Hayami would've liked."
"Thank you, Hiyami-san," the old man nodded, looking at the picture of his only child in the frame surrounded by roses.
"Hm, my cute little girl was named Hiyami, Hayami, no wonder she thought her name was a tongue-twister," Kuroko blinked, the two looked at each other, they just laughed.
"Eh what's so funny?" Tetsuo came down to see his grandpa and dad laughing together, the old man told him the thing that was so funny. The three men went to eat, their grandmother joining them. Kuroko eventually left with Tetsuo. Kuroko walked through the halls of the school, heading to Akashi's office. It seemed like nothing had changed in the last 18 years.
"Hm, I am quite old now that I think about it," Kuroko said to himself as he looked out the window to kids in their morning practice and whatnot.
"Yet you still look like when we were dating, Tetsuya," Kuroko turned around to see no other than the red emperor smiling at him. "I'm so happy to see you again."
"Seijuuro," Kuroko smiled. "It's a pleasure to see you again," the two walked to his office. "You took over the school in the end?"
"I have to manage the company as well, but I like spending time here as well," Akashi opened the door for Kuroko and he let himself in, Akashi closing the door behind them. "I haven't heard from you in almost 18 years…" Kuroko took a sit.
"I married Hayami," Kuroko replied, Akashi looked at the morning light from his windows hit Kuroko, he was as beautiful as ever.
"My condolences, about your wife," Akashi walked to his chair, taking a sit. "You had a son, only your hair is alike."
"He takes after his mother's family, physique and all," Kuroko locked eyes with Akashi, their eyes not leaving each other, Kuroko shifted in his seat, breaking eye contact but Akashi didn't bother looking away.
"I'm happy you're back in Japan," Akashi then told him about the job details and how long everything would last. Kuroko took all the paperwork and nodded, signing any required paperwork Akashi had for him. "Well, you can start tomorrow, Tetsuya," Akashi smiled as he fixed all the paperwork neatly into a file. "How about I show you around the school?"
"Everything looks exactly the same," Kuroko deadpanned, Akashi chuckled.
"You're the same as always, Tetsuya," Akashi stood up and extended his hand out. "Shall we?" Kuroko stood up. Akashi retreated his hand. They walked the school, everything was indeed the same, students stopped and talked about the principal's friend. Akashi introduced him to the other teachers who were surprised when Kuroko told them his age.
"I can't believe you're going to be teaching here! Tetsu-kun~" Kuroko turned around to see none other than Momoi Satsuki jump at him in complete happiness. "I've missed you so much~"
"Momoi-san? You're a teacher here?" Kuroko seemed surprised but smiled at the pink haired woman who nodded. Letting go of him.
"Did you miss me Tetsu-kun? Cause I have," Kuroko kept his smile and patted her shoulder.
"Hm, I guess I have missed a lot of things and people from Japan, otherwise why would I be back?" Momoi blushed.
"Oh Tetsu-kun… as charming as always…" she then seemed to remember something. "Your son is my student too! He's so handsome~" Kuroko chuckled.
"He takes after me," Akashi scoffed, a small laugh escaping his lips. Kuroko gave him a playful glare, the redhead shrugged. Eventually Kuroko was escorted out by Akashi.
"I'm glad you took the job, Tetsuya," Akashi said as they walked to the entrance of the school. "I've also enjoyed your books, always doing a magnificent job," Kuroko just nodded.
"The job will help me maintain myself distracted. Also, I had no idea you read my books?" Akashi stopped alongside the blunette.
"I know more than what you think, Tetsuya," Akashi gave him a dangerous smirk, making Kuroko shiver.
"You never change, Seijuuro," Akashi shrugged again.
"Let's have dinner tonight. My treat, of course," Kuroko shook his head.
"I promised Tetsuo we'd watch a movie together,"
"On a school night?"
"Have a problem?" Akashi lifted his hands in front of him in the defensive.
"Come on Tetsuya, your son in 15 going on 16, he can skip a father son day at this point, besides…" in a swift second, Kuroko's waist was being held by Akashi's arm. "He needs to know I'm not a threat to keep his powers in check, no?" Kuroko's eyes widened, he pushed the red head away.
"How do you know about that?" Kuroko whispered loudly, looking around to see if anyone heard.
"How about I tell you over dinner?" Kuroko sighed.
"You have my number," and with that, he turned on his heel and left. Akashi looked at the retreating figure.
"Oh Tetsuya, I wonder if your body still remembers all we used to do," the red head licked his lips. This school year was going to be so good. He looked towards his school. His eyes becoming more serious. He knew Kuroko was a strange gem, and with someone who could lose control like Tetsuo and a handful of rainbow headed students already engrossed by the blunette, he expected quite the struggle. Not that he wouldn't win though. He was after all, the emperor.
Alright, starting next chapter we're going to start seeing some more serious advancements towards our cute Kuroko! How does Akashi know about the Hiyami's power that Tetsuo inherited? Will he be able to control his powers?
