Dream Team: Kuroko No Basket LAST GAME

Part 17.5: Past Is Past, But Not For Us

Flashback:

Running around in circles with an innocent delight, the five year old Mia giggled as her lengthening hair fluttered with the breeze and a daisy chain on top of her head.

"Mia, don't be running too fast or you'll fall!"

Hearing her mom she nodded but still didn't stopped and went on.

"Haaa...sometimes I really don't know if she's really listening to me these days." Saya can't help but sigh at how her daughter's been getting very unattentively active lately that it worries her too much.

Giggling softly at that, Shiori's soft crimson eyes showered Mia lovingly from afar. "Why not, she's growing adorably with it."

Looking back at her, Saya shook her head in disbelief. How can she entirely agree with her when she's been feeling her aging self tending Mia and her abnormally active growing self. But then, she does agree at some point. One of mothers' greatest dream is to see their kids grow healthy and well, it's more than enough for them to ask for anything more.

Not wanting for Saya's words come true and seeing her furrowed brows due to worry, Shiori patted her son busy picking up a few more daisies.

"Sei, honey." Earning his doe crimson orbs look at her identical ones, she smiled softly. Looking at his tiny hand almost unable to grasp the flowers at bay, she leaned down and held his cheek gently. "I think that's quite enough. Now, why don't you give it to Mia." Looking at the bundle of daisies that he could barely take hold, he nodded and immediately run towards the giggling girl.

Feeling satisfied, Saya heaved a long breath as the ever reliable boy made his way to her daughter. The Hanamori's and Akashi's became good friends, especially the mothers as both having kids of the same age and convenient to that, Mia and Seijuro liked each other right after meeting each other. Odd but Saya confirmed that one of the greatest reason of Mia's sudden burst of energy is because of the boy. She's already energetic at birth like his father but the oddly addition of extra energy and happiness surfaced after their meeting.

Shiori as well noticed Seijuro's sudden enthusiasm and interest after meeting Mia. She admits that his husband is quite the strict man but she knew it is for their son, however, as a mother she still wished to see her son smile and laugh freely like he is doing now.

"Mia." Seijuro called making the girl stop from her tracks. Looking confused, Mia tilted her head giving the boy the chance to talk. "Your Mom told you not to run too fast or-"

"Tch tch tch, Sei is worrying too much like Mama." Mia cut him raising her index finger and waved it infront of him like she's all knowing. "Don't worry too much. Like Papa always told Mama worrying too much will make you have wrinkles. So don't!"

Having a mature mind at that age, Seijuro sighed as he leaned closer to her and wanted to make sure of something. "Do you know what wrinkles are?"

Blinking a few times with a forming frown on her cute face, Seijuro giggled looking at her cute pout. "Don't. You're forming wrinkles now." He said gently pointing at her forehead.

Jumping in surprise, Mia held her forehead. "Really!"

Letting a laugh out, Seijuro can't help but be amazed at how the girl make such reactions at a very young age.

"Oi, Sei. It's not funny. Papa told me that wrinkles will make you old fast!" She pouted.

"He did?" He confirmed wiping some stray tears. Mia readily nodded. "I thought you wanted to grow up fast? Was that one of your jokes?" He said trying to earn another adorable pout from her.
