“I’ll bring him to bed,” Akashi offered.“No, I’ll take him” Kuroko said.“Please Tetsuya,” Akashi insisted. Kuroko knew what Akashi was trying to do. Kuroko knew that even just for awhile, Akashi wanted to carry their child in his arms. Kuroko let him and watched as Akashi carried him to the bedroom and laid him down on their bed.As Akashi stared, caressing the kid’s face, he felt his throat constricted. This was his child, yet he never saw him grow up. He never held him in his arms when he was baby. He was not there when he was born. Akashi placed the blanket properly before he stood up and went out of the room.Akashi slowly closed the door before he turned and saw Kuroko standing in the living. “I want to talk to you outside, where Seiji can’t hear us.”“I understand,” Kuroko said as he followed Akashi out to the door. He saw him clenched onto the railings outside the apartment and breathed deeply. Kuroko expected that Akashi would lash out at him, yet he did not.“He’s a wonderful kid.”Kuroko stood next to Akashi and replied, “I know.”Both of them stared at the city landscape, slowly tainted with white. The snow started to fall hard, and a sudden breeze passed them by, making Kuroko shiver since he only wore a sweater. Without warning, Akashi moved behind Kuroko and embraced him from behind. Kuroko was surprised at Akashi’s action, but the sudden warmth made him feel comfortable. It had been years since he had been in his arms, yet the feeling was so nostalgic. He felt so warm and safe whenever he was within his arms. Nothing could feel more perfect than his, Kuroko thought.Kuroko leaned his head towards Akashi as he started speaking, “Two weeks before I broke up with you, I found out I was pregnant with Seiji. I panicked at that time and thought, how did that happen? I was guy, and…it shouldn’t have been impossible. Turns out, I was one of the few who could do that.” Kuroko intertwined his fingers with Akashi’s. “I freaked out. There was no question on who the father was. Not to mention, we did it several times with no protection, so….I knew it was you.”“Is that why you left me all of a sudden?” Akashi asked.“Yes.”“Why didn't you tell me?”“I was scared…” Kuroko trailed. “Akashi-kun had a perfect life ahead of him…and I was scared that I would destroy that. I know that I would ruin your life. But, at the same time, I know what I did was wrong…hiding Seiji from you was wrong,” Kuroko pulled away from Akashi’s hold and faced him.“I’m sorry,” he stated as tears brimmed his eyes. “I…I didn’t want to keep him away from you, but I was scared...I was---“ Akashi pulled Kuroko in his chest and encouraged him to let out all he felt.“I’m sorry, Akashi-kun. Please forgive me,” Kuroko cried out. “And….I’m still in love you... I would never—“ Akashi let go of Kuroko and caressed his face. He wiped away the tears from his eyes as he said, “Don’t cry anymore Tetsuya.”“But…”“Though, I want to be mad at you, but I can’t…you hid such an important thing from me, yet I could never hate you. I still love you, and I’m willing to forgive you. Just don’t take him away from me. I want to be a father for my child.”Kuroko smiled fondly at him and replied, “Akashi-kun as a father? I like that.”Akashi hugged Kuroko tightly as he whispered, “Thank you for giving me a family Tetsuya. I promise you, I will be a good father to him.”Kuroko snuggle against Akashi’s embrace as he replied, “I know you will.”“And, I will give him all the horses that he wants,” Akashi said teasingly.Kuroko pulled away from his embrace and objected, “Don’t you dare spoil him too much. You tend to do that a lot.”Akashi smirked, “It’s been awhile since I’ve spoiled you in bed, Tetsuya.”“Pervert,” Kuroko retorted back as he stared at Akashi. He would never get tired at looking at those eyes, and every time he looked at them, there was something warm that would fill his chest.“I love you Tetsuya. I still do” Akashi said.“I love Akashi-kun too” Kuroko replied instantly.“Then, will you spend all the rest of your life with me?” Akashi asked as his face inched closer to Kuroko’s.“I will,” was his short reply."No more leaving?""No more leaving."The two of them smiled at each other. Akashi held Kuroko's left hand and played with his middle finger, “It’s too bad I don’t have a ring,” he said.“Even without a ring, I’ll always be binded to Akashi-kun,” Kuroko stood on the tips of h
