Kuroko stood outside the door to the giant mansion, his suitcases in tow. It had been quite some time since he had been here.

He opened the door with his key and stepped inside where he was greeted by the butler.

"Why, good evening Kuroko-sama! A pleasure to see you. Allow me to take your luggage."

"Thank you, Alphonse-san."

Kuroko walked into the mansion with familiarity. He entered the main living room where he found what, or perhaps more so who he was looking for.

The Kiseki no Sedai. All of the members were lounging around on the big couches.

"Tetsuya? You didn't say that you would be coming back?" Akashi said, curiously inspecting him.

"I didn't think I needed to tell someone before coming back to my own home, Seijurou." Kuroko said with eerily calm sarcasm.

"Of course not. Come sit with us." Akashi grinned.

"Tetsuyachi! Come sit with me!" Kise whined. 

"Oi! Why do you get to sit with Tetsu!" Aomine started.

They started to bicker as always. Kuroko eventually made his way over to the couch that Midorima and Murasakibara were sitting on. He sat in between them and Murasakibara immediately shoved a pocky stick into Kuroko's mouth.

"Tetsu-chin looks smaller than the last time I saw him. You need to eat more." Murasakibara stated.

"Thank you Atsushi, but I assure you, I am eating the same as the last time you saw me." Kuroko said.

Just then, Alphonse walked into the room with a cart for afternoon tea.

He set down cups for everyone and made sure to prepare tea just how everyone liked it. 

Akashi was simple. One sugar and a dash of honey. 

Aomine liked three sugars and a lot of milk. He said it was to counter the tea's bitterness, however he had drank coffee regularly since he was little. 

Kise was a one to two ratio of sugar and milk. 

Midorima took his tea plain. Being from a long line of doctors, it was healthier. 

Murasakibara took his tea with a one to one ratio of sugar and milk. Usually three or four of each. 

Kuroko liked just three milks. 

"Please enjoy your afternoon tea, young masters." Alphonse said.

Akashi nodded and Alphonse dismissed himself from the living. 

"Tetsuya. You must have a reason for coming home. What is it?" Midorima stated.

"Do I have to have a reason to come home, Shintaro?" Kuroko asked.

"No, I just find it odd you would come home on such a random day. Also, you are calling us by our first names again. Not that I mind." Midorima clarified, pushing up his glasses in an attempt to hide the blush.

"Well, Tetsuya?" Akashi pressed on.

"I simply wanted to have a weekend with the people I love." Kuroko said, with a straight face.

"Tetsuyachi!" Kise immediately launched himself towards Kuroko to attempt to hug him, but was stopped by the two giants beside him.

"Ryouta. Tetsuya is probably too tired from the trip here to deal with your incessant neediness." Midorima said, as Murasakibara pulled Kuroko into his lap and draped himself over him like a cage. 

"Oi! Tetsu can speak for himself." Aomine said.

"Why don't we all go take a nap? Dinner won't be served for another few hours, so we have time." Akashi suggested, settling everyone down simultaneously.

So they all made their way to the elevator, with Murasakibara carrying a very sleepy Kuroko.

They got to the master bedroom, where there was a triple king bed for them all to share. First, they all changed into their pajamas. Then they slipped into bed for a nice long nap. 

A few hours later, Kuroko woke up. He slowly sat up and looked around. The evening sun was shining through the crack in the curtains and Kuroko could hear the others' steady breaths.

He suddenly felt a glow in his wrist. He positioned his wrist where the sun could reach it. His mark was glowing. He realized that it had been a long time since they were all together. 

The soulmate mark had faded a little bit, but it was back to its former glory. His soulmate mark was a color wheel, same as the rest of the Kiseki no Sedai. 

"Tetsuya, lie down." 

Kuroko felt a tug on his shirt. 

"Seijuurou. It's almost time for dinner." Kuroko said, before getting pulled into a hug. 

"It can wait." Daiki said, wrapping an additional pair of arms around Kuroko.

"That's right!" Kise added himself to their hug.

"I suppose dinner will not simply walk away." Midorima said, also joining the hug.

"Mou, only because I want cuddles too." Murasakibara said. Cementing the fact that dinner was waiting. 

Dinner did end up waiting. For another day to be exact. After getting a lot of cuddles and kisses, they all eventually fell asleep.

Alphonse knocked on the door, but after a while of no response, he opened the door. He simply chuckled to himself, as he closed it behind him.
