Kuroko

Two weeks has passed since Father and Akashi-sama left for their business trip, leaving me to live alone with Akashi-kun in their mansion. To be completely honest, it felt nice to be accompanied by Akashi-kun. But most of the time, he's most likely to be holed up in the library; studying, which causes my boredom.

I was sat in front of the fireplace, a few pages done with the novel on my hands when my mind suddenly drifted off to somewhere. Sighing, I closed the cover of the book and stood up, placing the novel back onto the shelf where it was before.

What to do?

I faced Akashi-kun who had his eyes focused on the book in front him, and I knew that it was time to pester him.

"Akashi-kun," He hummed in acknowledgement but didn't bother to look up. I pouted and poked him on the cheek.

"Akashi-kun," I repeated.

Akashi-kun chuckled and finally decided to look up.

"What is it, Kuroko?"

"I'm bored," I muttered.

"Not my problem." he shrugged and went back to reading .

"It's definitely your fault!" I grumpily crossed my arms over my chest and huffed. "You're always studying and you never even entertain me! Please, Akashi-kun? Just this once?"

"Entertain you, huh?"

I noticed a small smirk on his lips and I tilted my head in confusion.

"Just let me finish these few pages, go and look for something that will distract you for the meantime."

"Fine." I muttered in defeat.

I scanned the library for anything that would peak my interest, but I found nothing. I then remember that I have brought my trusty old sketch pad with me.

That will keep me company for a while.

After grabbing my sketch pad, pencil and an eraser, I went back to my seat in front of the hearth and flipped my pad open, searching for an available spot.

Once I settled on a clean page, I watched the flames dance whilst I thought of something to draw. I just shrugged it off and held the pencil, letting my hand draw whatever it desires. Humming a soft tune, I managed to draw a dock with trees and beautiful flowers surrounding it. I examined it and felt like it was incomplete, so I added the moon, starts, clouds and a few birds here and there.

Still not satisfied with the drawing, a frown made its way to my forehead as I pondered of what was missing. I studied the artwork and realized that I drew the special spot that Akashi-kun and I hung out on a lot.

So that is what's missing.

A smile made its way to my lips as I pictured the scenery in my head. I carefully and delicately drew the person, trying hard to make it look exactly the same as that time, and when I did, a joyful smile made its way onto my lips.

Perfect.

"Heh? Not bad."

I yelped and dropped the pencil I was holding when I suddenly heard his voice near my ear.
