All plot, setting, characters, and etc. of Kuroko no Basuke belong to Tadatoshi Fujimaki. No money is being made off this piece of fiction.

Author's Notes:

This idea comes to fruition as a result of my muse sudden burst of inspiration from watching America's Next Top Model Guys and Girls.

Added info, an original character KATSUMI (勝美), is a Japanese name that means "victorious beauty." The past setting was written using the past tense of verbs, and the current timeline in present tense.

Credits:

Ryuuzaki Umi is a character from the anime Magic Knight Rayearth. In my fic, it's somewhat fitting for her to be Tetsuya-kun's mother.

PAST

"Kuroko Tetsuya, the hidden son of one of the Hollywood's most versatile actress, Ryuuzaki Umi, had finally decided to enter the world of stardom after he graduated from his last year in senior high-school. He just arrived in Los Angeles, California to sign a contract from…"

A spark of electricity zapped from an eighteen years old girl. Rosy pink eyes blinked as she turned her head in full attention at the TV screen.

Surrounded by a crowd of paparazzi who were asking a thousand questions at once, stood a blue-haired boy, 18 years of age. His hooded figure did not help to mask his aloof and detached facial expression. Nevertheless, it only served as a beacon to the public's curiosity.

Lately, she spent most of her time watching him ever since he left during their last year in middle school and who was revealed three years later to be her idol's only child. They had not heard anything from him until now. It certainly was a shock to everyone especially to them.

To think a gem like him was hidden from the world of stardom for a decade and eight years.

Kuroko Tetsuya.

His name alone produced a mixed of emotions from her.

Months later, witnessed his rise to fame which was well-documented by his hardcore fans.

Even them.

She also kept tabs on him. Her collection varied from news articles, magazines, song albums, pictures, and etc. And she, Momoi Satsuki two years later, was one of the primary witnesses of his change from the once introverted boy, who finally left the comfort of his shell to this stunning persona.

What had been a deliberate step in her part from the beginning had become a new path for her.

~01~

As months passed by and turned to years, Kuroko Tetsuya became a living legend in his own right. His popularity soared to new heights as his name spread internationally world-wide. His concert tours' tickets were always sold out. His works were always in-demand.

He's not only a songwriter, performing artist, model, but also a sought-after photographer making big waves in that particular field as well.

Kuroko Tetsuya, most known for his good manners which were at odds with his infamous reputation of befriending eccentric people into his circle, a fact considered as one of his charms. The press even branded him as the Blue Gentleman. He's so loved by them since he's always accommodating, polite and candid in giving answers to anything they asked of him.

Another well-known columnist said that he's a blue-eyed devil who could and without fail tempt the angels and the saints to do his bidding with his arresting beauty.

One that cannot easily be categorized.

~01~

To them, his most captivating features were the windows to his sensuality—his pair of iciest blue eyes rivalling the sky itself. Eyes so deep that they thought one could be lost in them, the same eyes which gave a gaze so unsettling to its receiver as if he could see one's own hidden secrets.

Yet its serene icy blue depths gave off a soft and gentle feeling.

If only…if only…

~01~

Once upon a time, marrying an Akashi was one of her topnotch list of priorities in life. Actually, any one among those rich and handsome bachelor would do.

But she is Shirosaki Katsumi, and she deserves nothing but the best among the rest.

She grew up navigating the giant networking grounds inside the pit of a lion's den. Under its arcane waters, the only vantage point was to stay on top. She'd rather lord over the rest with her head held high than to become a living doormat. The other option was not welcoming to say the least. One had to undergo through the pecking order of the glittering social circle of the Elite.

And so, she prepped herself up to be the perfect wife of Akashi Seijuurou, sole heir of a multi-billionaire company in Japan, and one of the richest men in the world.

There wasn't a bunch of second thoughts.

They were married early at the age of eighteen. Certainly, their marriage was a match made in heaven, a living proof after a decade of coexistence.

But she's only human, one with many flaws.

Time would reveal this simple fact.

~01~

The saying the best and talented people are the weird ones holds a tiny shred of truth in it.

It's just her luck to meet them personally and to associate with them as his wife.

Kise Ryouta, a popular and handsome model is truly one happy bouncing bunny. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on anyone's point-of-view, this man suffers from the subsequent onslaught of female attention. Anywhere. Anytime.

Aomine Daiki, who she once confused as a ganguro is a gorgeous man. Even so, his gruff manners sometimes do offend her in one way or another. Although, she can see that he respects her husband very much so.

Midorima Shintarou is a religious person underneath those oftentimes questionable items he always carries around with him. Aside from his chronic avoidance issue when it comes to his intentions, feelings, and etc., he's okay in her book.

Murasakibara Atsushi is a giant with a child's heart. Liable to turn violent when the right buttons are pressed on, just overlook his unhealthy dependence to sweets.

Her husband, Akashi Seijuurou is another thing entirely but when it comes down to it. He's the perfect epitome of a family man of dignity and discipline. He can smooth talk anyone until all that remains is the rally of his orders.

The Generation of Miracles certainly is a completely and utterly bizarre tableau of friendship.

As she runs through her mental checklist of his husband's friends, a sudden creeping shivers of realization waves over her. Her woman's intuition feels it.

There is something missing. Something vital and important.

Like an impending disaster just waiting for the catalyst.

Her only comfort is the fact that she is his wife. Their union is perfect. Their twins are a blessing to this perfect family.

Everything is perfectly fine.

Right?

~01~

Kuroko Tetsuya.

Who does not heard that name?

He's Japan's pride.

Even her twins secretly idolize him.

However, something about him sets her off like a tap. Her trouble sonar is loudly blaring whenever his name is brought on.

Why?

The face devoid with any emotion most of the time has a strange magnetic pull is always there. His natural repertoire of charming anyone and everybody is almost unheard of. His otherworldly appeal catches the eyes and holds it firmly in its grip. The proof of this fact is his record of millions of obsessive devotees worshiping the ground he walks on.

But what is this feeling?

~01~

PRESENT

"This is a pleasant surprise! Kuroko Tetsuya is coming back to Japan as one of the judges for the internationally famous brainchild of Tyra Banks, the reality search of Japan's Next Top Model…"

Across Japan, eyes widen in glee and anticipation, most screaming their heads off from excitement, and several people forget what they are supposed to do in order to buzz on this latest news.

If seen, the most interesting reactions are coming from the Generation of Miracles.

Stunned, Kise Ryouta tumbles down from his runway walk.

Aomine Daiki nearly crushes his mobile car while in patrol.

Midorima Shintarou drops down his cup of coffee to his doctor's coat.

Murasakibara Atsushi who is test-tasting his new creation chokes from it.

Akashi Seijuurou pauses from signing down several contracts with an indescribable gleam shines within his heterochromatic eyes.

With a barely noticeable blink from her blue eyes, Katsumi holds back the gasp from her lips.
