The Answer Is Yes

…...

Kuroko sat on the bench, away from the others as he wiped his sweat from his face. The game had been a little more tiring than usual but it still was an easy win. His ice blue eyes flicked over toward the rest of the team where they were having a meeting that he was supposed to be but had chose not to.

'Let Akashi get mad at me.' Kuroko thought as he stood and walked toward the locker room. He had enough with Akashi lately and this had been the last straw.

Akashi was being completely cold. Negative and rude, picking out ever one of the bluenette's flaws. Last practice had been the final straw.

"That was the most terrible thing I have ever seen from any player." Akashi said as Kuroko slipped off his shirt. Turning he held his shirt in his hands, head tilted slightly to the side.

"Akashi?" Kuroko questioned quietly. Akashi walked forward, leaning against the lockers, inches from the bluenette.

"You are such a slacker. What were those passes? I could get an idiot to do better than you any day. If I had ever known you would turn out like this I never would have asked you to be here with me. Just leave Kuroko." Akashi said, staring down at Kuroko.

Behind his blank face Kuroko was on the verge of tears. 'Maybe I will leave.' Kuroko felt Akashi lightly touch his hair. But this was finally it. Kuroko pulled away and slipped on a shirt.

"Fine, I will." Kuroko whispered as he turned, walking out from his final practice.

SLAM! Kuroko jumped as he looked at his hand. He had slammed the locker without thinking. Kuroko ran a hand through his hair, agitated. 'Time to tell them' He thought before stepping out onto the court.

They all turned to look at him "Good bye, everyone." Kuroko said and walked out as they waved.

….

Akashi drummed his hands on his arms as he watched their practice. Kuroko had missed a total of 22 practices and 7 games. Where the hell was he?

Had Kuroko actually taken him seriously when Akashi had said to leave. Was this his own fault?

Akashi sighed and walked off toward the stairs, up toward the balcony. What would bring his little blue kitten back to him? Akashi looked out over the balcony to see the bluenette standing in the courtyard, watching the building. Akashi leaned forward in utter disbelief when he saw the look on Kuroko's face. It was a look of pure longing and sadness.

Who dare put that look on his face?! Akashi willed him to walk in like he always did, smiling when the boy took a step forward. But then Kuroko shook his head, hair falling into his pretty face and he turned, walking away for the last time.

Five Months Later

POV: Kuroko

…

I sighed, sweeping up the convenience store. I looked up when the bell rung to see several high school boys walk in. I walked behind the counter and rung them up only to watch them walk back out, happy and laughing.

But I was envious of them. I had to quit school because my parents had passed away. leaving me to fend for myself. None of my relatives would take me in, fighting over who should get stuck with me. But I just brushed them off and found a job, apartment, and odd jobs here and there.

Moving oward the candy aisle, I started restocking the shelves. I missed playing basketball and being with the guys. I missed Kise's loud voice, Aomine's grumpiness and fighting with Kise. I missed Midorima's horoscope fetish when he would come in with weird items. I missed Murasakibara's constant crunching of his snacks and the way he would always lean on me.

But what I missed the most was…

I felt a shadow cast over me and moved to step out of the way. "Sorry, sir…" I went to stand when I was pushed to the ground, the customer strandling my thin hips.

"Where have you been Tetsuya?" A voice demanded, expecting an answer.

"Please get of Akashi." I said as he glared down at me.

Akashi glared before pinning my arms above my head after tred to push him off. "Anser the question!" Akashi yelled.

"My parents passed away so I had to quit school to work. Now will you please get off of me?" I asked and Akashi stared down at me before brushing my hair from my face.

"Why didn't you say anything to me about this?" Akashi asked and my eyes flicked toward the shelves.

"I didn't need to tell you." I mumbled before his grip tightened on my wrists.

"I can fix this." Akashi stated, a small smile playing on his lips.

My head tilted to the side as I looked up at him. "How Akashi?" I asked.

"You're so cute, Tetsuya..." He murmured, momentarily distracted. He grinned before leaning down closer to me.

" I'm going to ask you to marry me." he lightly kissed my lips before once again pulling back. "All you need to do is say 'yes'."

I stared stunned at him before he swooped down to fully catch my lips. He nibbled on my lower lips before his toungue explored my mouth, in full control. He stopped and stared down at me expectiatly.

"… Yes… Akashi." I wiggled my hands from his grip and placed them on his cheeks, gently running my thumb over his lips. Then I spoke:

"I love you, and always will."
