The next day...

*At the station.*

"Is everyone here?" Riko asked as she glance left to right, checking if the whole teams present.

"All set-- Wait! Where's Kuroko?" Kagami asked that made everyone panic as they quickly look at their sides if their phantom is there.

"You know, I can't get used to Kuroko's invisibility thing." Koganei said and everyone sighed. "Umm... I'm right here."

"WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Everyone jumped from that shock when they heard Kuroko was just at their back. "Gah! You scared us! Kuroko..." Riko said holding her chest like it's a mini heart attack.

"But we're the one's who came here first... Right, Seijuro-kun?" Kuroko complained faced the other person beside him. "Sei..ju..ro-kun...?" everyone thought as they glance at Kuroko's side. And there was Akashi leaning on the wall holding his phone while an earphone was stuck on his ears.

Everyone gulped and they had the same feeling that their practice won't be that interesting when Rakuzan's captain's watching them. They felt like backing out.

"What's the meaning of this... Riko...?" Hyuuga whispered threatfully to Riko who just sweatdrop. "It'll be fine! What's wrong? Akashi-kun just wants to be with Kuroko-kun. So, leave them be." She said in a defensive way.

Actually inside, she supports them. Yes. Truth to be told that Riko Aida is a fujoshi herself. But her top priority now is basketball more than anything.

(Flashback)

(Riko Aida's POV) Night Time 7:45 pm

I hummed as I was cooking dinner for my dad in the kitchen.

'Yosh! Tomorrow, we'll work hard to practice!' I thought to give myself a motivation. When I'm almost done I heard our door bell ranged twice. "Dad! Would mind if you handle this? I gotta go get the door!" I shouted enough for my dad to hear my call from the living room. "Yeah, yeah! I handle that!"

When I heard his reply I quickly rushed on the door.

As I slowly open the door I asked "Who is it--" I was surprised that it was Akashi Seijuro from Rakuzan. He was wearing a casual clothes with sungglasses on and a hat, he was on a disguise. I was really surprised that I froze while holding the door knob.

"Mind if we talk?" He said while fixing his sungglasses. It felt like it's really serious.

Before I accept it, I told him to wait for a while so I can ask permission to my dad. "Dad... is it okay if I go with a friend? He's Akashi Seijuro from Rakuzan. He just wants to talk about something really, really important!" I begged. 'cause I know my dad won't allow me especially night time.

And the term 'friend' doesn't sound right.

"Akashi Seijuro, you say? That kid from Teiko? Is he that red haired captain who always wins in every game they play?" My dad said while cooking, not bothering to look at me. "Yeah... Is it fine if I go talk to him for a while? It won't take too long! I promise!" I begged once more. And I felt like dad will allow me. "Fine... But be careful."

"Hai!"

So I rushed at our entrance and noticed Akashi-kun's face. And he looks irritated! "Let's go." I inform.

"Geez. What took you so long?" He clicked his tongue as he goes first. Weird, huh? We talked like we're already close. But I didn't mind that and followed him.

We stopped at the playground near my house. He sat at the swing while me standing infront of him. Of course we had distance. Not actually infront of him.

"It's quite interesting that you want to talk about something." I snickered.

"So what do you want to talk about?" I asked changing to serious tone.

"You dare to look down on me and I'll stab you to death!" he glared at me while swinging the swing his sitting on.

What was that?! First of all he's the one who asked me out in the middle of the night! Second, I accepted it because I felt that he was going to say something important! Then I asked, his reply was he's gonna stab me to death?! What's wrong with this guy?!

I wonder what Kuroko-kun liked about him?

Moments later, he started to speak to what he wanted to talk about.

"I want to join your vacation at the beach tomorrow." He said looking at me expecting that I'll say 'Yes'. "And why is that...?" Well, I couldn't just agree and let him join. But somehow, I felt like I know already his reasons even though he's not yet saying it.

"I want to be with Tetsuya. I can't leave him with a bunch of idiot guys. I love him. I must be with him. I can't leave him alone with any another guy!" I was shock at his reason. 'I knew it!' I thought. His reasons were so selfish, yet too concerned of Kuroko-kun.

And what does he mean by a bunch of idiot guys?!

"Have you get your permission with your team mates?"

"Of course!" he said eagerly.

"Did you get your permission to your coach?"

"That's already been solve long ago."

I had no choice. My fujoshi part kept telling me to allow him. So, in the end, I allowed him to go and inform him to Kuroko-kun about this. Since he promised, too, that he won't get in our practice.

After that I went home and my dad asked what happened. I told him everything and we ate dinner together.

(End Of Flashback)

It's been a few hours since they used the train head at the beach. And they have arrived. A beach with a 2-star hotel near by.

It's 8 : 25 in the morning.

Others already have dressed themselves wearing trunks as they jump in the warm beach, yet a little cold. Few people are already on the beach before them.

The team stopped when they heard their coach's whistle. "Line up!" As they lined up, Riko noticed Kuroko, Akashi, and Kagami-kun are the only one's who aren't dressed for beach. Akashi was so protective that he brought an umbrella with Kuroko to protect themselves from the morning rays. While Kagami's just standing like others waiting what will their coach say.

"Here's the schedule for our 2 whole days in here!" She showed everyone a paper.

They were so shock thinking that it's gonna be a real pain for their muscles and thought what if they'll faint in over worked up? But in the end they didn't lost hope.

"We can do this! After our practice, the 2nd day will be our Half Day Free Time! We can Relax!" Koganei cheered as everyone else agreed. "Yoshi! GO-- Seirin!!"

"Before we practice, let's go and get some room at the hotel near by." Riko said pointing at her back, interrupting their celebration.

When they've arrived in the hotel, Riko dashed infront of the counter where a female in mid-30s is fixing some papers.

"It's been so long Yuu-san!" she greeted the girl on the counter. "Oh! If it isn't my Riko-chan! How's your father?" she asked blissfully.

"Ummm... Riko, who is she? A friend of yours?" Izuki asked. "It's my dad's old classmate, a Best Friend rather." All of them reacted the same thing. beside Kuroko and Akashi. "Ohh....."

"Yuu-san, can we use some rooms for our 2-day practice? It's for our up-coming Winter Cup. We're going to practice there at beach."

"Is that so? Why, I'll give you half price! Since your the daughter of the man I used to love." she said and gave out a small laugh. Riko knew it's fine because she knew Yuu won't hide her feelings about his father. She already accepted it.

When Riko's done assigning them to their respective rooms, she gave them another paper that contains their names and their room mates. "Each rooms has 2 to 4 beds."

Room 4
-Kagami
-Hyuga
-Kiyoshi
-Izuki

Room 9
-Mitobe
-Koganei
-Tsuchida

Room 12
-Furihata
-Kawahara
-Fukuda

Room 25
-Kuroko
-Akashi

"Huh? That's odd. Coach, why would Kuroko and Akashi be in the same room and their far from us?" Koganei asked curiously at Riko that made the other panick. They rapidly covered Koganei's mouth to shut him out. As he struggles from their hands, Akashi gave a deadly glare at Koganei while Kuroko's just starring at their schedule, like he didn't notice anything.

Because he really did didn't notice anything.

"Idiot! Have you forgotten?! They're in a relationship. So they have the rights to be room mates." Riko said in a lower voice.

Everyone knows that they are dating and started to call by their first names. But not everyone. Only to those who knew them. The Generation of Miracles, Seirin Basketball players, Rakuzan Basketball players, Kaijou, Tou, Shoutoko, and Yosen, especially their parents. Their parents have approved it. Their relationship was not broadcasted at all to public.

"Gomenasai..." Koganei apologized to Riko and others.

As the uproar ended, they started to head to their own respective rooms.

Kuroko and Akashi placed their bags on the bed to start to unpack their stuffs.

It was an awkward moment for Akashi.

But before the awkwardness spread, he pinned Kuroko at the bed and gave him a lustful kiss. Kuroko's eyes widens out of surprise but didn't resist his boyfriend's sudden kiss

He knew Akashi was waiting for the right time to do it. Even Kuroko wants to do it either. When Akashi broke the kiss he saw his lover gasping for air making such lewd face that made him a little hard.

'Shit! I can't do it now. It's still morning. What if everyone gets angry at me, for Tetsuya not attending their practice because he has an ass pain?!' Akashi thought panickly. This is so not him.

Akashi backed and sat on the bed beside Kuroko. "I just can't wait any longer! But I don't want be a hindrance who joins this kind of a vacation just to have it with you." Akashi said dissappointedly with eagerness in his tone.

Kuroko knew that for Akashi it was an embarrassing speech that needed a high confidence to say it. He saw his lover's face's heating up too.

"Seijuro-kun..." Kuroko said in deep yet low voice that made Akashi face him. "What is it... Tetsu--mm!" Before he finished his question, Kuroko just gave a kiss to his partner saying in return for earlier.

But this time it was different. Akashi opened his mouth to let Kuroko's tongue slip in. He traveled his right hand on his lover's soft light blue hair, pushing it more closely to him to deepen their kiss.

He felt a lot pleasure that he wanted to do it here and now even though it's just a kiss.

As they broke another kiss and huffed, Akashi made a grin. "That's odd. You know how to do french kiss already? You seemed to be learning how, huh? Who taught you? Did you smooch some other guys or some chicks...to teach you... Tetsuya?" Akashi asked. His voice went serious when he asked his last question to Kuroko. Kuroko just blush and avoided Akashi's gaze with embarrassment.

"So, it is true? Are you perhaps cheating on me?! Tetsuya?!" Akashi demanded with a really scary serious tone. Kuroko was startled on what just his beloved lover said to him. Kuroko felt hurt that his eyes started getting warm then tears started streaming down on his cheeks.

"No! I am not cheating on you Seijuro-kun! I was just glad that you said that I'm already skilled to do that!! And it is impossible for me to kiss anyone beside you! Seijuro...-ku..n...!" Akashi was truly guilty when he heard Kuroko was crying. He was an IDIOT to joke on something like that. He gulped and tried to comfort Kuroko from his idioticness.

"I'm sorry, Tetsuya... I just thought that you were cheating on me..." Akashi kissed Kuroko's forehead. He told himself that he won't tell Kuroko that it was just a half joke, but was half serious. It might make him mad.

"But if that happens, I'll kill him... Stab him to death with my own hands." He threathens and hugged tightly his partner. Kuroko just respond. "Yes. Seijuro-kun."

....................................................

*10:00am~12:00nn*

.....

*1:20pm~3:30pm*

.....

*7:30pm~6:45am*

......

*8:30am~11:30am*

As the time pass by, the team have improved a lot. At the first day, Akashi helped, a little, Seirin practiced. But in the end they lost when Akashi requested to play with them. Some got a muscle ache while some got a little bruises on their arms and legs.

"AT LAST!! The Half-Day-Free-Time begins!" The first years screamed in excitement and joy. But most of them are still recovering from that dreadful training they just had.

And now, Akashi can't wait any longer. He wants Kuroko now. He won't waste this precious chance.
