Good Morning, Kuroko-sensei!

It looked delicious.

It was red, a bright red that reminded him of the food his mother would cut up into small pieces and feed to him after most of his meals. He couldn't remember what it was called, but when he saw it there, sitting on the floor, he wanted to do nothing but bite into the sweet object.

However, when he picked it up, he was sad to have discovered that it was no where as soft as the food he was thinking of.

That didn't stop him from bringing it to his mouth and attempting to take a bite out of i-

Ow!

Aomine Daiki's lips drew down in a frown.

Large red eyes turned in his direction. His companion said nothing, making no other indication that he was interested in the current situation other than the curious stare focused on him.

Aomine's disappointment in his not so delicious treat was evident when he raised it above his head and promptly aimed for the ground.

Unfortunately, the object slipped from his pudgy fingers before it reached his intended destination and flew in a completely different direction and promptly smacked his red haired playmate right in the center of the face.

Blue eyes met red.

Kagami's face scrunched up as the situation began to dawn on him. Aomine watched him with a blank stare and it just… really upset him (more so than being hit in the face).

"Nnnn…" His lips parted and a small whine began to bubble in his throat. His eyes watered and Aomine blinked.

"Daiki-kun!"

Kagami's whine was cut short and Aomine's head snapped in the direction of the stern voice coming straight for him. A pale face and light blue hair flooded his vision as Kuroko knelt down before him, picking up the stray lego block off the floor. "Daiki-kun. You know better than to throw toys."

Aomine's lips drew down into a deeper frown. Kagami's eyes remained large and filled with unshed tears.

"Daiki-kun. Look, you hurt Taiga-kun." Aomine followed Kuroko's gaze over to Kagami who seemed perfectly fine. The moment Kagami realized his eyes were back on him, his face scrunched up again. "You should apologize."

Aomine's gaze shifted between Kuroko's gentle stare and Kagami's permanent look of "I am hurt, pet me." Reaching a small hand over to Kagami's face, Aomine gently pat Kagami's forehead where the lego block connected with prior. When he was done, he looked back up to Kuroko for approval.

Kagami's tears seemed to evaporate immediately. With the entire ordeal forgotten, Kagami pressed his hands to the floor and stumbled to his feet. Despite his lack of stable balance and proper footing, Kagami wobbled away, tripping once on his own feet. He stayed there on his knees, staring at the ground in confusion.

Kuroko sighed, ruffling Aomine's hair, "Thank you, Daiki-kun." Aomine flashed him a grin with a whopping 5 teeth. Aomine raised his arms to which Kuroko hooked his hands under his armpits and picked him up with little effort.

Aomine's legs latched on to his hip and his thumb went straight into his mouth.

Kuroko walked over to Kagami who decided that standing just wasn't going to happen for a long time today and took to crawling on the floor in his usual direction. Bending down, Kuroko scooped up the child with his other hand and positioned him on his hip in a similar fashion to Aomine. Kagami's small hands fisted his shirt as he looked up into Kuroko's eyes.

"What would you two like to do?"

Kagami's eyes flashed first. He made a fist, extending one short finger and pointed with urgency to the kitchen. "Food!"

Kuroko sighed, "What do you think, Daiki-kun? Do you think it's-" Kuroko's stopped in mid-sentence as he looked down a Aomine, noticing that the other child was currently mimicking Kagami's actions, pointing towards the kitchen as if it was the most important location in the entire daycare. "Food!"

Kuroko chuckled, shifting both boys up higher on his hips. "Alright, alright. Food it is."
