Our Road to Forever

Chapter 21

“What’s going on?” I asked again. Not really expecting an answer as I walked to follow another set of red ribbons. The flower giving went on. Kise-kun and his girlfriend Megumi-chan gave me carnations, Murasakibara-kun and his girlfriend Rika-chan gave me chrysanthemums. Kagami-kun and Kimi-chan gave me a bunch of red roses.

Finally, I was led right outside the gym. Standing guard at the closed door was Aomine-kun. on his hand was a single stem of forget me not. “Tetsu.” He straightened up and walked up to me. “You got a lot of flowers, huh.”

“Yes."
“Here.” He offered me the forget me not. “In case you don’t know, this is forget me not.”

“I know….”

Without saying another word. Aomine-kun wrapped me in his arms. “Never forget me, Tetsu.”

“I won’t Aomine-kun. I’ll never.”

He lets me go and guide me to the door. “Go on.”

“Thank you. Aomine-kun.” I opened the door and went inside.

“Mama!” As soon as I got in, my sons run to me with tulips on their little hands.

“Dad told us to give this to you!” Kyouhei excitedly said as he raised his hand up.

“Where’s your father?” I asked as I accept the flowers from them.

“He’s right there.” Seiji pointed to the stage. That’s when I realized that the curtains were closed.

“Is your father there?”

My sons tug my free hand and pulled me towards the middle of the gym. As soon as we got there, a very pleasant sound enters my ear. The curtains slowly open, revealing an Akashi Seijuuro that’s wholeheartedly playing the violin. Behind him is our group of friends the Generation of Miracles, Kagami-kun, their girlfriends and Momoi-san. They were singing. Momoi-san is even crying.

I don’t know what to say.

Of course, Akashi-kun’s playing is really really good. I don’t know much about violins but I could tell that the way Akashi-kun play it is masterful.

After a while, the music slowly dies down. Akashi-kun held out his violin and Midorima-kun took it from him. From there, he jumped down the stage and make his to me and our sons.

“Tetsuya…”

“Akashi-kun…”

“Dad!” The three kids pounces on their father’s legs and hug him excitedly.

“That was really gret Dad!” Kyouhei said.

“Teach how to play like that, Dad!” Seiji requested.

“Me too! Me too!” Tatsumi chimes. “I want to play that too!”

Akashi-kun chuckled as he crouched down. “Of course I would, but before that, have you forgotten what we talked about earlier?”

The kids looked at each other excitedly before they faced me. Then they fumbled around trying to get their shirts off leaving only a white shirt on.

The word ‘WILL’ is written on Seiji’s shirt

‘YOU’ is what was written on Kyouhei’s shirt.

‘MARRY’ is the word written on Tatsumi’s.

“Will… you… marry…” I looked at Akashi-kun. Tears were already pooling on my eyes.

Akashi-kun smiled at me. He took off his coat and on his shirt was written the word, ME. “Kuroko Tetsuya,” He kneeled in front of me, took the box that Seiji’s giving him. “the mother of my children, the love of my life, the light that shines upon the darkness in my heart. I love you. I love you so much. I know that we are getting a bit too fast paced here but I can’t wait to make you mine for the reset of our lives.” He opened the box and took out the beautiful ring on it. He took my left hand. “Please… be mine. Be my eternity. Be my other half. Marry me, Kuroko Tetsuya.”

“Akashi-kun…” I shook my head as I smile. Tears fell down my eyes. “Sei-kun…. Seijuuro-kun. I will… I’ll gladly marry you. I love you so much.”

He put the ring on my ring finger, stood up and met my lips with his. “I love you so much, Tetsuya…”

We were then greeted by thunderous celebration of our friends. The girls were crying while congratulating me, the boys were expressing how much happy they were for me. The kids were jumping around after their Aunts explained to them that I am about to get married to their father.

“Akashi.” Aomine-kun’s voice echoed.

“Daiki.” Sei-kun faced him full of confidence.

“Don’t ever make him cry. ‘Cause if I ever see him crying again because of you, I will, mark my words, take him away from you.” He seriously said.

“I’ll never make the same mistake, Daiki.” He smiled at him as he pulled me towards him and plants a kiss on my head. “Tetsuya is my treasure. Him and our children. They are what made my heart beat. They are what compose my soul.”

“Then were good.” He quickly turns his back on us. “I... I’m going to wait for you guys outside. I need some air.” He hastily walked out of the gym.
