"Seijuro. I have decided to marry you to Kuroko's only child. Kuroko Tetsuya, I believe is his name, is now engaged to you."
A pair of blood-red eyes were unfazed as those words were spoken, though a calm mask hid the pure shock Akashi Seijuro, son of Akashi Masaru; head of the Akashi Corporation, felt. Pure shock turned into pure anger, unfortunately he was in no position to speak back to his father who acts like he can control his life. His life, and a simple nod was given to Masaru. Then doors fled open as Akashi went to his bedroom.
'Kuroko Tetsuya, huh?...' A smirk followed the thought, happily humming to what may occur.
-=+ Kuroko's Household +=-
"Ah! ...Oh, there you are Tetsuya! A business rival and proposed marriage for you and his son! ...Akashi Seijuro... I think? Anyways, you're now engaged! Exciting, eh~?"
Kuroko Tetsuya's mother, Kuroko Ryo, was a proud mother right then-- But Kuroko wasn't pleased one bit. Sudden marriage? Without his consent? Pouting, a sigh also passed by his lips as he left his fangirling mother to her own world. Vanishing into thin air, he began his trip towards his room.
'Akashi Seijuro...' Thoughts filled Kuroko's head as he wondered about his latest fiancé, since his mother sets him up with whoever. Though, he was curious. What could occur between the two sons?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
