"Get that monster away from me! I said that you don't understand?!" Kagami roared with a cracked at the end of his deep tone as he continued to stand on the now messy dinner table. Alex sighed but nevertheless gestured for the blunet to take Nigou away.

Somehow the husky jumped on the redhead butler's lap when he was calling Kuroko out. The innocent puppy didn't know why he was taken away, he turned his head to looked at the scared redhead.

Nigou sulked. Clearly not pleased that someone doesn't want a puppy nuzzle from the husky.

"He's gone now Kagami. You can take your seat now." The ginger said as he walked back inside with the blunet who had a small frown on his thin lips. "I'm sorry Kagami-kun. Nigou really likes new people coming over." Kuroko apologized as he stared at the said man with amused glint in his eyes.

Kagami narrowed his eyes at the pale man but didn't say anything as he slowly descend from his previous place. It was utter surprise that the table can outstand the heavy weight of the butler.

"It's alright." 'Of course it wasn't! The beast almost bit me!' He wanted to added but refrained from doing so. "So who owns the mon-I mean puppy." He cleared his throat when he almost offended the unpresented husky.

"Well it's Kuroko's pup but everyone treats it as their own. It's a adorable little thing." The younger twin chirped. "Where did you found it?" The older Akashi asked, a bit curious since it was obvious that the puppy wasn't brought from a pet store.

"Shige and Kuroko found him when they went on their little date about two months ago." The older brunet twin said with a knowing smirk tugged on his lips. "Date? Are you two by any chance dating?" Kagami asked making everyone silent for a moment.

Kuroko had a blank stare set on the redhead but never deny or admit anything. When he was about to answer the blonde cleared her throat getting everyone's attention.

"Why don't Kaito and I head out because we have some business to talk about. Um so yeah." She gestured the older redhead to follow. He was hesitant but obliged anyway as he walked with the blonde not before giving the twins a warning look.

They gave her both identical innocent grins on their faces. The american woman gave the ginger and the blunet a knowing look before giving Kagami a flying kiss as she went off with the older Akashi.

"So Kuroko, how you've been?" Kagami was the first to say after silence enveloped them once the two older people left. "I've been better." He replied shortly.

"Oh." The redhead bit his lip not too gently. It was a bit hard to make a conversation when you have no clue after not talking for a long period time.

"So Kagami why are you afraid of Nigou?" Both twins said in unison as they wiggled their eyebrows at the redhead who was the only one at the other side of the table with Kuroko sitting at the bottom chair and Ogiwara and the twins seating across from Kagami. "Just got a bad history with dogs." He said, indicating that the topic of his life was over.

The twins pouted but spoke no more to press the little information they now have. "I should take a bath now since Nigou and I have been running laps at the whole city for about five hours now." Kuroko suddenly said as he walked out leaving Kagami to the blonde's servants.

"Five hours? Was he joking?" He asked with his bushy eyebrows raising. "Kuroko doesn't joke about that. He does it every morning with Nigou. Why?" Ogiwara asked at the end.

"Um...Three years ago when he was still working for Akashi-sama he would be the first to drop to the ground but now I can see he's improving." Kagami said with admiration. So this was what the result for not seeing the blunet for so long.

"He's not much of changes to be honest he still the same man you used to play basketball and work with." The younger Sasaki twin spoke. "He just improved. Both physically and mentanlly." The older brunet twin added.

'Mentally...?' "When you say mentally does it mean he moved on...? " He let it hanging as he glanced at the three men with a concern look. The twins shrugged and looked at the ginger who was fumbling with his thumbs, a habit he had when he was a kid whenever he get nervous or frustrated.

"He's trying." Those two words made Kagami frown slightly. Then it must be hard to overcome the betrayal.

"So um Kagami are you ready for tomorrow?" The ginger asked, lightening up the sour mood a bit. "Tomorrow." He said with a furrow of his eyes, what was tomorrow be?

Then it hit him.

"You're all coming?" Was the only he come up over hundreds swarming his mind. "Yup." The twins said popping the 'p'.

"Is Kuroko okay with it?" That made the three butlers grinned apologetically making Kagami stared at them in horrid. "You are going to crush his heart! Both of them if Akashi felt any remorse." He wailed out.

"Don't blame it on us. It was Miss Alex's and Akashi-sama's Idea in the first place." That made Kagami's jaw dropped open. "There is a good ninety-nine percent chance that this-" He swirled his finger rapidly everywhere, "-Will backfire."

"What will backfire?"

The twins squeaked when the voice of the blunet. They all turned except for the redhead, staring at the blunet in slightly drenched black fitting shirt revealing his slightly defined muscles and white jean shorts with slippers.

Kuroko has the husky placed against his chest, wrapping his arms around it protectively. "I told you to stay that beast away from me." Kagami growled as a whimper broke out in the end when Nigou barked as he eyed everyone; mainly the redhead.

"You're in a good distance Kagami-kun and besides Nigou wanted to apologize for his behavior earlier right Nigou?" That made the said puppy barked as he stared at Kagami once more with his pale blue eyes shining in complete innocence. "Apology accepted as long as that puppy doesn't leave your arms." He said sternly as he cautiously watched Kuroko seating at the placed where he previously seated.

Kagami sat at another chair next to him. Keeping his distance as he glared at the husky who was nuzzling his head on the blunet's chest.

"Stop glaring at Nigou Kagami-kun you'll upset him." 'What?! I'll upset the beast?!' "Yeah right." He scoffed at Kuroko's slight accusation. They never bothered talking about the older people's plan since the pale man was now with them.

After a few hours of catching with each other's lives and getting to know the others better. Both redhead's left when lunch time came around.

"I'll see you soon Kuroko." With a smile Kagami followed his master out. "Yeah you'll definitely see him soon." Alex mutterred next to him making the blunet questioned.

She just waved her hand dismissively with a nervous chuckle as she went to her room. Kuroko was suspicious at the oddness of his mistress but didn't complained.

Maybe it was the time of her month.

"Hey Kuroko, Tomorrow will go to this meeting so you better sleep soundly this time." Ogiwara said as he wrapped his arms around the blunet's waist. 'Hopefully.' Kuroko thought as he mumbled a goodnight to his childhood friend who did the same.

"Kuroko! Wake up! Nooooooooo! He stopped breathing somebody help! Shota call the ambulance! Sota call Lady Alex Kuroko! No! Stay with me! Please Wake up Kuroko! I can't live without you! You promised to bare my childr-" A smack to the head was the only way stopping his rambling as Kuroko glared when he turned his head to see the ginger shirtless and in blacks slacks with no shoes just black socks. "Morning Waifu." He said innocently as he smiled jokingly.

"Back off Hubby." He played along since he wasn't very much in the mood to go against Ogiwara in the mornings. It was a bit over dramatic of him to think that he died sleeping.

"Of course, Kuroko but really you should get up because we have a meeting to go to." Ogiwara informed as he jumped off of his bed and stand at the end of it. "What is the meeting all about?" He asked as he stretched his arms.

The ginger bit his lip, not much sure how to say it. "All I know is that Lady Alex told us to get ready because she wanted us to company her in a meeting at the Brother branch building. Nothing important just a few reminders and bargains then we will go out for lunch." He said as crossed his arms.

Kuroko nodded as removed the blanket that was covering his body and walked pass the ginger to take a shower. After a few minutes, all of them were now seated at the black SUV that was currently drove by the older Sasaki twin.

"Remember the plan." Kuroko heard his mistress saying as they parked at the side of the Akashi Company building. He felt himself paling than he already was.

When Ogiwara said they were going to the brother branch building he knew he meant his former lover's conpany. It was envitable that they will meet in some point but he hoped not today.

"Kuroko are you okay?" The younger Sasaki twin mumbled as he walked beside him with his older brother nodded at the other side of the blunet. "I just woke up at the wrong side of the bed." He wasn't lying he did woke up at the wrong side of bed.

Gratitude of Ogiwara.

When they walked inside the building he felt a shiver on his spine. It happened a few times before and they were never wrong although it only happened with the people around him.

This time he was not so sure.

Currently they were now inside the elevator with music blaring through the small speakers. When the elevator came to a stop they walked out without another word.

"Oh Tetsuya. Could you stay here for a while?" Alex asked when she tapped the blunet's shoulder who was staring at the clear glass scenery in fron of him. "Why?" He asked, still looking at the scenery.

"The rest of us have to go to the restroom for some reason you're not affected by the morning business." Sadly they forgot to relieve their bladder when they went here. Kuroko nodded understanding that the slow pain they were holding.

"Oh and If they come please tell that I'll be back shortly." He nodded still not looking at his mistress as he heard footsteps fading and a sound of the door opening and closing.

He placed his chin on the wide rectangular table. His arms above his head with his hands intertwined as he stared at the empty space.

It was quiet.

As to say except for the ticking of the clock that was on top of the double doors. After approximately 15 minutes he started to wonder how long should they relieved their bladder.

He was standing up as he pushed the chair back and about to head for the door when the door opened revealing a man. Kuroko felt the lack of oxygen as he stared at those mismtached eyes that he once love to gaze upon.

At least he knew that both of them change for the better if so. The red locks were in a short fohawk considering that he loved to cut his own hair short, he wore a black pinstriped suit with dark brown leather slip-ons, he was still taller with his built muscles defined and ripped.

Kuroko gulped when felt his pale blue orbs becoming glassy. He wasn't going cry not ever perhaps.

Akashi made a grim line formed on his pink kissable lips when he looked around clearly noticing that his meeting partner must be late and didn't realized that someone was here. When he was about to close the door he froze.

'He's not here. He couldn't possi-'

"Akashi-kun..." He heard him releasing a deep breath. "Can we talk?"

This wasn't what he had expected.
