Six Years Later

Akashi smiled as he sat out on his porch, drinking a cup of tea with a book in his hand. It was a nice day out, the sun shining bright upon their home, and the redhead was more than content to sit in the slight breeze.

Kuroko soon emerged from their home as well, placing a kiss atop the redhead's hair as he stood beside him idly. The bluenette looked out across their large yard, toward the end of the drive. He smiled. "Any minute now."

Akashi looked up at him before glancing at his watch. 3:14. He smiled to himself, setting the book aside and turning his gaze outward as well. "Tetsuya, I saw your laptop was surrounded by college brochures. Are you thinking about returning soon?"

Kuroko hummed lightly. "Yes, given the circumstances, I think it's the right time."

The redhead nodded. "And, have you decided on a career yet?"

"I was thinking of being a novelist. I used to be pretty good at writing, you know."

"Ah, that would suit you well. But, what would you write, love?"

The bluenette's brows furrowed slightly. "I'm not sure."

Just then, the couple watched as the local school bus pulled to the edge of the drive. Kuroko's smile broadened dramatically as he caught sight of a little five year old boy, with bright red hair, and crystal blue eyes.

"Ren's home~" Kuroko sang.

Akashi smiled, standing to his feet as he watched the young boy awkwardly run up the drive, a huge grin on his face. He laughed softly, pulling Kuroko into a one-armed hug. "I have an idea of what you could write about."

Kuroko glanced at him, curious. "Oh? What is it?"

Suddenly Ren was at their feet, beaming up at them as he tightly grasped Kuroko's leg. "Mommy! I had so much fun today!"

Kuroko laughed softly, bending down to pick up the small boy. Ren then turned his gaze to Akashi.

"Daddy, I made a new friend~"

"Oh? On your first day, Ren? What's their name?"

Ren beamed up at him. "Hajime~ He gave me this ring, and we're gonna get married!"

Kuroko smiled, looking at the pink plastic ring on his son's finger. Akashi blinked.

"Hajime? Isn't that the name of Daiki and Ryouta's son?"

Kuroko laughed softly. "It is, and they're in the same class."

Akashi blinked once more. "Eh, my son is going to marry my best friend's son?"

"Looks like it~"

"…. What have you done, Tetsuya? I told you this school thing was too early."

Kuroko laughed as the redhead looked away, his cheeks puffed out in an uncharacteristic pout. "Oh, Sei, you never told me what I should write about."

He blinked. "Oh, I was going to say you could write about us~"

Kuroko tilted his head in thought. "Hm, I like our story. It's my favorite. But, Sei?"

"Hm?"

"Who would read about us?"

"… Ah, good point."
