Birthday Gift

Akashi and Kuroko went shopping for Christmas that Saturday. They had a lot on their list since they planned to hold a Christmas party with their old friends the Generation of Miracles, Akashi's ex teammates from Rakuzan and Kuroko's ex teammates from Seirin. So to make it efficient, Kuroko suggested splitting the list. Kuroko would go buy the decorations, tools for the games and gifts, while Akashi would go buy the groceries and drinks. Akashi agreed to it quickly without having to think twice. He thought it was a good idea because it gave him a chance to do something without Kuroko knowing about it.

So, as soon as Kuroko walked away to buy the stuff on his list, Akashi quickly walked to buy the groceries and everything on his list. Luckily, Akashi did not have a hard time finding the stuff from his list. So as soon as he checked everything from his list, he headed to the jewelry shop to buy one more thing that was not written on his shopping list but written on his mind since morning.

When he met up with Kuroko again at the ground floor, near the big Christmas tree, the two walked back to the parking lot with paper bags in both of their hands. They stuffed their purchases into the car baggage before heading home.

"Kuroko," spoke Akashi while driving, glancing at Kuroko who was looking out the window for a second.

"Yes, Akashi-kun?"

"Do you prefer white or gold?"

Kuroko turned to his boyfriend with a confused look. "What do you mean?"

"Just answer my question." Akashi glanced at Kuroko again before smiling. "White or gold?"

Kuroko leaned back and looked straight at the road, frowning as he was thinking. "As in color?"

"Yeah."

"Hm..." Kuroko rubbed his invisible beard as he thought. "White."

Akashi's smile widened before he chuckled. "I see."

Kuroko, who noticed how weird it was for his boyfriend to suddenly ask such random question, narrowed his eyes. "Why do you ask, Akashi-kun?"

"Nothing." Akashi smiled with glancing at the confused man next to him.

"It is unusual for you to ask a random question like that, Akashi-kun. What are you up to?"

Akashi only shrugged. "I told you. It's nothing. I just want to ask you that."

Kuroko rolled his eyes and shook his head lightly. "Okay... But I know you. You never do anything without any specific reason."

"Oh come on. Can't I just sometimes ask you a completely random question just because I want to?"

"I will find out about it soon, Akashi-kun."

Akashi shrugged again. "Sure... Whatever you say, Kuroko."

As soon as they got home and finished stuffing up the refrigerator with the groceries, Kuroko kept close eyes to Akashi. He knew Akashi was lying earlier about that random question was just nothing. Akashi, who felt that he was being watched, just kept trying to ignore Kuroko's weirdness in keeping close eyes. It kept going as they watched a movie and brushed their teeth before sleep. Akashi cuddled Kuroko like usual. His arms wrapped around Kuroko tightly and gave him as many kisses as possible before exchanging good nights and falling asleep. Kuroko fell asleep as well eventually a few minutes later, with his mind still wondering what the heck was that random question about.

The next morning, Kuroko woke up pretty early to the soft sound of his phone reminder. He reached for his phone and read the reminder's note.

December 20th, Akashi-kun's birthday!
