Happy Birthday Akashi 2024

A birthday drabble for my beloved husband. Love you Sei <3

"It's Yukimaru's birthday tomorrow..." Akashi pondered, sitting on the bed of his Rakuzan dorm. He took a sharp sigh, immediately standing up and packing his things. Just for a little overnight stay.

Oats, applesauce, wheat flour, cinnamon, molasses, and of course carrots for a carrot cake. He thanked his Mother for teaching him how to cook, putting the treat in the oven as he wiped his forehead. Baking was quite tiring in itself, he concluded.

His horse neighed happily with his presence. A quick ride was much needed for the both of them, galloping off into the edges of the Akashi property. The wind through his hair, the rhythm of his hooves. A perfect day.

Even more so, as the redhead did love to spoil his horse. Grooming, massages, cleaning, polishing; he did everything. All the while telling stories of his adventures as a high school student to his horsey.

It ended with a small cake and a thin stick of carrot as a candle. Hiragana of "Yukimaru" written in yogurt. Akashi hadn't even been done singing the birthday song when the white horse devoured the said treat from the plate... but all worth it as he nuzzled his nose against his owner's chest. The latter took a deep breath, smiling softly.

"Happy birthday, Yukimaru."

"Sei-chan, it's not only Yukimaru's birthday today, yknow," Akashi whipped his head around, seeing the people he loved the most. The Rakuzan and Teiko team.

And Reo holding a cake of his own, "Akashi Seijuro" written with icing.

"This was so hard to plan ssu...! We had to get in contact with your butler and arranged time for you and-"

"Shut up Kise, nanodayo."

"Happy Birthday, Akashi-kun," Kuroko stepped forward, rolling out a mat on the grass.

"Let's sit down already, I want to eat cake... You don't mind if I have a bigger slice, do you Aka-chin~?"

"Akashi!! I got you a present!!" Hayama almost shoved a box at the redhead's face. The face that looked stunned. He had no idea that his friends arranged something like this... well, as is the point of a surprise party after all. Akashi hadn't even recalled that today was his special day too.

"Oh yes... it is my birthday today as well, I suppose." he said, his lips curling into a smile.

Remembering his worries of losing his friends back in middle school... the thought seemed so silly now.

I've gained wonderful friends... don't you think, Mother?

Twitter saw this first but I have a headcanon that Akashi would only understand/use memes if they were horse-related.

[flamewing]

for the WIP ask game: reach (:

Ooh it shows up pretty frequently, so here’s the longest paragraph I found it in!

“A winged horse never abandons its rider. Yukimaru simply couldn’t defend me from the multitude of predators and had to wait until he could reach me safely,” Akashi said with a smile before glancing at the primarily gray gelding that was now foraging from a bush. “As for a normal horse like Sirius��� well, any benevolent creature that hears Nigou’s howl can be sure that it will be protected if it stays close to him. After all, he has become known as a guardian of the wild.”

Matchup for babulejka | Akashi Seijuro

ღ Akashi found you interesting first. You're mystery and bright person with lots of unusual hobbies. He wanted to know about you more. ღ It's not love at first sight trope, more slow burning. But let me tell you one thing. When Akashi Seijuro falls for someone, he falls hard. You're the one for him. Today, tomorrow and days after. Forever. ღ This man is good at literally everything and has lots of random knowledge, so it's always interesting to be with him. But you two have same hobbies! ღ Horse riding dates! I'm sure, he loves the fact that you do horse riding. Seijuro wants to show you Yukimaru, his horse, one day. ღ Music dates! You two play on musical instruments, so you can talk a lot about this stuff. Seijuro would like to listen to your own songs. He always gives you an honest opinion and helps you to get better. ღ Be sure that Seijuro comes to all of your ballet performances! He watches from the first row, full of pride and adoration. And Akashi doesn't mind to practice with you and be your partner ღ Study dates! Seijuro has not a lot of time, because he has to do a lot of things as a heir of famous Akashi family. So he'd love to study together! ღ Akashi admires your personality! He loves that you're not afraid to stand up to anyone. It's very helpful since there're a lot of people who are jealous of the fact that you're his girlfriend. Loves that you're ambitious and friendly. That you're girlfriend he can be proud of. ღ You're two workaholic who tend to overwork yourself. But Seijuro does his best to remind you to take a break. And you help him not to overwork himself. ღ He lives for your care! Please, take care of him, and he melts. ღ Your motherly attitude reminds Seijuro his mother. And he can't help, but smiles with fondness every time he sees you with children. ღ You teach Akashi how to live a little, showing him your animals, dolls and plants. ღ Seijuro is a secretly touch-starved person, love-starved too, he loves that you show him your love in a different ways. And answers you with even more passion~

Love that Christmas merch where chibi Mayu dressed as a snowman because:

1. He's a snowman. Snowmen are made of snowballs. Akashi's horse named Yukimaru (雪丸) which can be roughly translated to "rounded snow" so you get the point.

2. Japanese fandom called the mascot Yukimayu-san (or at least according to djs), only a letter different from Yukimaru so you get the point.

3. They had him holding the signature Xmas candy which is white-and-red colored.

The point is Akashi loves his Mayuzumi-san, MayuAka is inseparable and official staff knows what they're doing.

[kurokonobrainrot]

The proof that Akashi lives in Rakuzan dorms. At least during his second year.

It's obvious that the uncrowned King's would have to live in the dorms because they are from all around Japan and were recruted by Rakuzan for their skills.

But i think Akashi would feel freer in Rakuzan's dorms than in his family's house, even though his father lives in Tokyo. He probably only stay at his family home in Kyoto during the weekends, for Yukimaru since it was mentioned that he likes to go horseback riding on the days he doesn't have school.

[active-mind-15]

Omg. I should've included this in my video game headcanons. Of COURSE he'd play equestrian games.

ok so akashi plays video games

i bet he has a shit ton of those horse stable games

[scarletmaster143]

This is the only time I do this but

Akashi X OC moodboard where they are both in college and OC is a really big nerd who operates on a lot of caffeine and sequesters herself away to work on research wormholes so sei has to come drag her out in the sun and feed her actual food, he tries to teach her basketball but babygirl has no hand eye coordination, still she dresses the part of an athlete’s girlfriend with sporty clothes which are mostly low effort and comfort based, Akashi loves it, HOWEVER she is still an heiress (not as uppity as her boyfriend) so when they are out for business galas and dinners she goes super sleek vintage glam, Akashi loves it more, has a white cat called yuki, they take her to meet yukimaru the horse and the two surprisingly hit it out (think the cat and horse in barbie and the three Musketeers expect yuki is the wise animal and yukimaru is the overexcited baby), lots of joint study sessions where they actually study a lot, not a lot of public affection mostly random skinship, but sei likes holding her waist, lots of forehead kisses tho, sleepy cuddles and documentaries

[kucho04]

I have the headcanon of Akashi acting humble at his own abilities(post winter cup of course) in the attempt of being like a normal guy. I.e "ah I don't have much experience cooking but..." and obviously delivers the best thing you have ever seen. Although this may sound contradictory to his special "trait" (being good at everything...) I like to think he's not the best at whatever at FIRST try, but is capable of being so if practices for a period of time/get interested in it. A very fast learner

His first drawing attempt was bad(expected as a kid). To this day, he likes to draw the gorgeous, beautiful, magnificent Yukimaru, so Akashi practiced more often until doing nice simple pieces.

All of this was written with the purpose of you imagining a very silly kid drawing of Akashi holding Shiori's hand with a tiny Yuki at the side. Masaomi is also there. A bit far but still included

As a fellow pet owner, I'd totally believe that. There are some instances where I'm out and wonder what my puppy is doing. Usually, when that happens, I just hop into my phone gallery and look at pics/vids of her. I bet Akashi does the same with Yukimaru.

Do you think akashi has these moments where he's just hit with a longing to see yukimaru. He'll be going about his day and suddenly he just goes "yukimaru:("

I think he does.

[active-mind-15]

I have a headcanon that Akashi doesn't just like dogs but is also really good with them in terms of training them and getting them to listen. He probably gives a lot of advice to Kuroko for Nigou and any other friend who owns a dog. And when they ask why he has such good advice, he just chuckles and says, "I've trained a horse before. Training a dog is child's play."

[imagine-knb]

Hi there! Can I request Kuroko, Midorima, Aomine, Akashi, Himuro, & Kasamatsu trying to impress their crush but failing miserably?

Kuroko: He had thought, what would be more romantic than a letter driven scavenger hunt? The little adventure he had led you on with his handwritten notes had taken you through many of the places he remembered interacting with you — the classroom, the library, on the rooftop — and it all ended here, next to the giant tree at the back of the school grounds. As you approached him, he gave you a soft smile and handed you the last letter; his confession.

He felt his heart stop when you looked up at him in confusion, asking, "Huh? Kuroko? Who's that?"

Kasamatsu: Looking out at the small group of friends gathered around, he could feel the burning edge of anxiety eating away at his stomach. He tried not to look at you out amongst the people watching him, tried to ignore how your eyes were glued to him. Kasamatsu glanced over to the side of the stage where Kise stood, silently encouraging him from the sidelines. He shifted the guitar in his lap, deciding to bite the bullet. He'd dedicate this song to you.

Too bad the microphone let out a piercing screech the second he grabbed it, causing him to turn red and run off stage.

Aomine: Cornering you near the bike racks on campus, Aomine had one of his easygoing, lazy grins on his face as flirt after pickup line fell from his lips. He was leaning against one of the bike rails nearby, looming over your as you fiddled with the lock on your wheel. Too bad he hadn't really been paying attention to where he was placing his feet, however, as he soon found himself tripping over the spoke of another bike, getting tangled before falling to the ground.

Aomine could feel his cheeks burn with embarrassment as he heard you ask if he was okay after his disastrous faceplant.

Midorima: He had been trying so hard to seem as if he were on par with your intellectuality; as if he were worthy of your time and attention. He'd studied all the right terms, really absorbed all pieces of information on anything you showed any semblance of interest in, and did his best to have engaging conversations with you about them. And, for the most part, it seemed to work. You liked talking with him, you were impressed with him, you—

"You're so smart, Midorima-kun. Reminds me of me at your age. You still thought of him as a child.

Himuro: The English study date was supposed to be something simple. Something lowkey that he didn't have to call a date if the vibes weren't right. But it all somehow got turned around when you started asking him to translate a romantic scene from your favorite drama. He was doing fine, speaking every flirting phrase in Japanese, voice dropped as he tried to woo you with them, but...

You snorted, trying to hold back laugher. "Sorry, Himuro, that just sounds so strange coming from you. Is that seriously how it's translated?" Okay, maybe he was being too technical with his translations.

Akashi: It was an amateur mistake. He should have paid attention to Yukimaru's appearance, should have listened to all the signs. The pale horse had been antsy, looking a bit more skittish than usual, but Akashi had ignored the warning signs in favor of keeping his eyes on you. Enthralled with your first time seeing a horse up close, you didn't know what to look for to clue into Yukimaru's discomfort, so Akashi couldn't blame you for what happened.

He just wished Yukimura remembered it was rude to kick at his owner's feet when irritated...

Basic Instinct Chapter 15

A/N: At this point, I'm expecting you all know any warnings that might follow and that you're well-prepared! The rescue mission is about to commence~ Masterpost

Akashi had carefully packed a backpack he was given for a school trip once. It came in handy now, that's for sure. He went over the things he had packed: A few clothing items so he wouldn't show up completely empty handed in simply his PJs at his grandmother's doorstep. His toothbrush. His phone, it had all his account informations and unlike his laptop didn't take a humongous amount of space. His wallet- even if his father were to block his bank account, he'd still need things like his ID. The stuffed lion his mother had gotten him went too. He didn't really sleep with it anymore, but he couldn't bear to leave it behind, not when it reminded him so strongly of his mother, and happy childhood days. The ones he was allowed to have, at least. He didn't knew what was going to happen to his school life, but he packed his notebook just in case his grandma found a way for him to continue attending Rakuzan. A few more important trinkets that were gifted to him by his loved ones, a bracelet of his mother's that he had held onto, a funny Christmas sweater given by Kotaro, a tiny bronzen Emperor's pinguin- one of Midorima's old lucky items that he'd given Akashi, cute socks that Reo bought for him after he tore a hole in one of his socks practicing with him on the streets and the scarf you had lend him once that he refused to give back to you because it smelt just like your soft, pretty hair. He even used the shoelaces of his basketball-shoes to tie them to his backpack, something Aomine would often do. 'I can't believe I criticized Aomine for this, only to do it myself two years later. I suppose that idiot has the occasional functionable plan.' Hell certainly must have frozen over, for Akashi to give Aomine a compliment over his thinking. He faked going to bed, though he made sure to sneak one of his jackets into his room. When it was time, he quickly put on his shoes and he shrugged his jacket on as he went over his backpack one final time. This was it. He was fleeing from his childhood home, leaving the familiar building he knew for as long as he could remember, behind. And depending on his father, he might never come back. Never would he see Yukimaru again, or walk through the garden remembering the flowerbeds his mother had loved best. Never would he see his father sitting at the same table again. The memories of his father made Akashi pick up the backpack with a pained, heartbroken scowl on his face. 'I cannot believe I have to flee my own home, from my own parent, in order to be happy. Why can't he just let me be happy?' He blinked and prepared for tears to fill his eyes once more, but they wouldn't come. There was pressure, but nothing would come out. He had already cried all of his tears, and now there was only this horrible feeling at his eyes. Like trying to vomit on an empty stomach, where nothing would come out. He did had a massive headache though. He had almost forgotten, one could get a headache from crying too much. He hadn't cried that hard since his mother died. He went across the stairs in a daze, and met up with Fujioka, Umemiya and Yuuki. The group went silently to Masaomi's Lotus, and with utmost precision, Umemiya put Akashi's backpack in the trunk, and Akashi caught glimpses of the servants' belongings. Akashi felt a pang with guilt, but all three of them smiled at him with such warmth that he knew, they were doing so because they cared and that he'd have nothing to apologize for. It touched him so deeply, that he wished he could still cry, because he didn't knew how to express his gratitude enough. But he couldn't make a scene and alert everyone. He sat silently at the back of the car, Umemiya seated himself at the driver's seat, and Yuuki sat next to him on the passenger's seat. Fujioka sat next to him, and almost immediately put his hand on Akashi's shoulder, rubbing him with kindness. Akashi couldn't stop himself from leaning against his butler, needing the comfort. His butler held him as the car began to drive, and he sobbed with no tears into the man's shirt.

When they arrived at the Kaneshiro place, it was still very early in the morning. They had agreed to unceremoniously sleep in the car, and restore some energy before they would present themselves to Akashi's grandmother. Akashi did not object to the idea, as the three servants in front of him were as trustworthy as his friends and cared for him more then his own father. Yuuki immediately fell asleep, slumping in the passenger's seat with utter exhaustion. Umemiya made sure her head was supported by a soft traveller's pillow, before he nodded off himself. Fujioka was the last of the servants to fall asleep, and he had never stopped rubbing Akashi's back before sleep finally took over him. But Akashi couldn't sleep, he wanted to let you know what was happening. And as he quietly went through the trunk, through his backpack, he felt at peace with his decision. He grabbed his phone, and his stomach dropped as he saw a small chain of texts, from you.

-Sei, I don't now where to start! My mom's completely beyond any reason! Though I bet your dad is too.

Sometimes I genuinely wonder if she gets off on my tears.

I'm tired of parents just having kids to fullfill their own needs and duties. We need them, not the other way around. Sometimes, I wonder if she ever actually sees me for who I really am, instead of an image she build her wishes and delusions around.

She always lets me fix her mess, be the responsible one and when I was to just be myself and be young, she gets angry because thanks to her BPD she sees me as an extension of herself, not as an individual human being. She drags me around like her ragdoll because she wants to do fun stuff and have a companion on her days off, she decides what I wear because my outfit choices are 'stupid'.

Before puberty, she wouldn't even allow me to decide my own haircut, as she'd always cut it in this stupid bob that she thinks looks cute on kids and that's how she always wore her hair as a kid. When I always wanted to grow out my hair like Rapunzel but for as long as I can remember my mom has been jealous for having beautiful hair.

I bet your father has a hair dresser unleashed upon you to ensure you don't get edgy haircuts that can be used as a joke by the other elite kids, he seems as controlling as my own alright.

Anyways I hope you're okay. I wish at least one of us was. I love you, no matter how this ends, know that. XXX Y/N-

Akashi gritted his teeth, and with a deep breath, he closed his eyes. 'I knew her mother would be livid too.

God, tell me how do I save her too?'

[active-mind-15]

Day 11: Snow

[ID: a black and white digital drawing of a horse pulling a fancy spherical carriage. The coachman is Seijūrō Akashi from Kuroko’s Basketball, wearing a formal black suit. Standing in the carriage are Takao, Midorima, and an OC, Rika Akimoto. She is a short young woman with her dark hair styled up in a bun. All characters are looking at the viewer and smiling. Takao is holding up a peace sign and lifting one foot out to the side. He and Midorima are wearing black suits and standing on either side of Rika, each of them with a hand around her waist; likewise, Rika, who is wearing a long dress and high heels, has her hands around theirs. End ID]

No literal snow, but here’s Yukimaru taking these four to the dance! :D

(Also, here’s a bonus close-up version of the three in the carriage because I did a separate sketch for them before adding them to the full image above. I just thought it was really cute and had to share 😍)

[ID: a close-up of part of the previous drawing, as described above. End ID]

Day 12: Dragon

[ID: a black and white digital drawing of two dragons circling each other and snarling. One dragon has a stocky build, a pair of batlike wings, horns around its head, and short spikes running down its back. The other has a serpentine body, whiskers, antlers, and fur around its head and running down its back, as well as on the back of its front legs and at the tip of its tail. End ID]

They’re about to fight—east vs west >:3
