"I got the drinks!"

The loud blonde walked casually inside, one hand holding a tray of Starbucks. The other occupants looked up from their sketchpads, groaning once they saw the blonde's choice of drinks. "Damn it Kise, this is why we never let you get our drinks! Starbucks? Are you serious?" The dark skinned male stood up and walked over to the blond named Kise. Picking the cup with his name on it, "Are you serious? Aominecchi?" he took a sip. His eyes widened at the taste. "Not bad…Caramel?" Kise nodded. "Eh." Aomine went back to sketching.

The blonde's flattered face lit up instantly after the comment. "See! Starbucks isn't all bad! Aominecchi is just judgmental because I bought the drinks! You should be grateful since I walked all the way there, in the snow!" The blonde went on and on about his grand adventure in the snow. No one listened. After a few minutes of talking the blonde finally got the message that his voice wasn't appreciated. So he went around, giving everyone their drinks with a pout.

The group of friends (they preferred co-workers, but everyone knew they were close) worked at the famous designer agency. But they weren't a normal group; they were nicknamed the "Generation of Miracles". All of them had great skill in designing at an early age. It started off when they all received their first sketch-pad. Kise Ryouta, age 20, had filled his pages with chic patterns and modern outfits. Each outfit was carefully designed to suite the model's body perfectly. He received many compliments from his mother, a famous model. He followed his mother's footsteps, but became a designer after. Aomine Daiki, age 21, had filled his notebook with sneakers. From sports shoes to high and low tops, Aomine drew all of them. But his notebook was soon filled with sportswear after he got into basketball. Basketball shorts, sweatbands, and t-shirts where all draw with a muscular model based on his dad, a NBA basketball player. Momoi Satsuki, age 20, Aomine's childhood friend had filled her sketchbook with different designs of jewelry. Rubies, emeralds, pearls, and diamonds were all drawn and colored. Bracelets, earrings, and necklaces sat beautifully on each model's necks. Murasakibara Atsushi, their tall co-worker, age 21, had filled with sketchbook with kimonos, togas, and anything else that was foreign. His first sketch was a kimono he had seen his mother wear. His parents, famous pastry chefs, took him around the world. He soon developed a strong love for foreign things and drew many outfits, each representing a country. He showed them to his parents after, and they gushed with happiness. Midorima Shintarou, their only bespectacled friend, had filled his book with suites. His parents were doctors and would always wear suits to their meetings. He drew more suits, for men and women, and showed them to his parents. They applauded his work and showed all their co-workers. Midorima only blushed.

Their demonic 20 year old "boss", of course he wasn't their real boss but the redhead sure acted like he was, was pampered to the finest extent. His parents were wealthy business people and showered him with gifts. They were quite shocked when the boy asked for a sketchpad of all things, for his 7th birthday. He always liked the dress his mother wore and the expensive ties his father had. His sketchbook was filled in a few weeks. He drew beautiful evening gowns and, like Midorima, drew suites. When he showed his parents, they smiled and gave him a pat on the back, saying that they were wonderful. To an average person's view, they would seem like the worst parents ever. But to Akashi Seijuro, it was more of a blessing from God himself. But unlike the others, he started sewing at a very young age. After a few months of begging his parents to let him buy the material he needed, he made a dress for his mother. Being an Akashi, he made it perfectly. He surprised his mother and father with his great handiwork. They agreed to let him make whatever he wanted after.

But they weren't the only prodigies at their age. They had a secret weapon, an ace-of-all-trades and a well known designer under the alias of "KURO". His real name was Kuroko Tetsuya, age 20 and was the youngest out of the group. His talent bloomed much more later than the others. His father was never with one woman. After his mother died, he slept with a bunch of them. He would get married at least twice a year, and divorced after a few months. His father never cared about money; he was a rich businessman, like the Akashi's. But Kuroko Tetsuya was always dragged around to one wedding or another, helping the brides with their dresses. After years of choosing dresses, he finally grew to love them. He begged his new stepmother (she lasted probably the longest so far) for a sketchbook, since she was an artist and received one at the age of 10, unlike the others who had got theirs at a very young age. Wedding dress, wedding suits, veils, shoes, and jewelry of cultures were drawn in his sketchbook. They were wonderfully detailed and colored with such care that one layer took him a day. He showed his father, but the man didn't exactly care. He went to his stepmother and she became giddy with joy, gushing over every detail like they were the best things she had seen in her whole life. He received a room full of material his next birthday and began working at once. He was a natural to say at the least. His first wedding dress was almost an exact copy of his stepmother's, if not it was better. Slowly he worked on the other parts of the outfit. Suites were his second choice, then veils, shoes, and jewelry. He expanded his horizon by studying abroad. He then drew wedding dresses of all traditions.

"So, guess who wants one of my new collections?! Jennifer Lawrence! You know how awesome she is? She's like the coolest person I've ever met! And I get to go to America to meet her! Personally! We're gonna best friends forever and five ever!" Kise chattered on and on about his future meeting with one of the most famous actors.

Midorima, now very annoyed, decided to stop the other. "Can you shut up Kise? I need to make a 'super-sparkly and over-sized' blazer for Lady Gaga for the AMA's, one of the biggest events in American music history!" Kise looked sheepishly away, embarrassed that he interrupted Midorima's progress. Murasakibara looked over, eyes drooping. "Lucky Mido-chin… I want Lady Gaga! She's so cool. I have Katy Perry. She wanted a kimono." Midorima looked over to the giant, mouth agape. "I wanted Katy Perry!" They continued to argue.

"Can you both shut up?" Aomine asked lazily, throwing his prototype shoe at Kise. "I need inspiration for my new line of basketball shoes… But I don't want to get up…" The muscular boy slumped in his chair. A pink haired girl kicked him in the shin, earning a loud scream. "Dai-chan is stupid. Get up and walk around. It's that easy!" Aomine frowned. "When'd you get here Satsuki?!" They got into a fight. Kise rubbed his face in pain, joining the fight with Momoi.

"Lady Gaga's outfits are art!"

"Katy Perry's are stunning!"

"Dai-chan is lazy!"

"Aominecchi hurt my face!"

"I'm freaking hungry!"

The elevator bell sounded. The group stopped fighting. They nervously turned to the door. Their eyes widened and they all dodged a pair of red scissors. "Tetsuya and I can't work because of all this noise. I ripped at least three feet of silk. Expensive silk." Akashi rolled the word 'expensive'. The others shivered. "Tetsuya lost a five carat diamond to put on his new ring because of this noise. Now he can't find it. You will all go up to our workroom and find it. Without touching the displays." Their faces paled. Akashi smiled. "Now get to work."

The group ran into the small elevator and pressed the button. The top floor was strictly off limits to anyone that wasn't Akashi or Kuroko. The Miracles weren't allowed to go into their freely but if they were invited to, they could. But all of them have seen the workplace before. It was a like a designer's dream. Unlike their floor, which was brightly lit with several windows, Akashi's and Kuroko's only had three of them. The rest was lit up by a giant chandler in the center of the room. In the middle of the room were mannequins wearing their new designs. But the room changed every time they visited, so no one had the same view.

The only reason why Kuroko and Akashi had to share a room was because they both had similar skills, evening dresses and wedding dresses along with a few suites. The elevator door opened. Inside was a bit the same like the last time they visited. The room split into half. One side was a black and white wall, sketches pinned onto a bulletin board. A desk faces the chandler and his jewelry sat on different sands. Mannequins wore exquisite wedding dresses. On his middle of the room display was a light blue book, most likely holding his designs. Next to it was a wine red book, holding Akashi's designs. His half of the room was a reflection of Kuroko's. His desk was black, unlike Kuroko's white one and his walls were red and black unlike Kuroko's black and white ones. His mannequins wore long and silky dresses, each one a different color. THey snapped back to reality when someone coughed.

Kuroko was standing in front of them, his arms crossed and a frown on his face. They shivered as they walked out of the elevators. Akashi wished them good luck with a smirk and went back to work. Kuroko walked up to them. With a sigh, he shook his head.

"Go find it."

"Yes sir!"

AN: *screams* How'd you like the first chapter? *thrown overboard* This was actually going to be a one-shot for Kuroko's birthday... but whatever. It sounded cooler in my head but it came out like this. *cries* Yes, the chapters will be longer. It is the first chapter so you know... short. I still don't know if I should put a pairing... sor you know... But most likely, it'll be GOM/Kuroko cuase, aww yeah Kuroko Harem! I'll leave some info about everyone after this note and their 'dere' type cuase I hate my life ;D~ I had a hard time figuring out Akashi's job though... BUT I DID IT *party hard* If you squint, there might be a little AkaKuro in this chapter... ._. I'm so sorry. Beta'ed by my husbando, Microsoft Spell Check! *cries* \(;w;)/ Leave a Review-ssu!~
