Feed me, I'm hungry!
Setting: The setting of the story takes place after the Winder Cup has ended. The only difference from the original story is that Teppei's leg can last one more season, barely…
Pairing: Murasakibara x Teppei
Round 1
He was lost… again.
The huge man looked down at his watch nervously. Not good, he was already late and still he couldn't find the location. He was a man with some pride, asking help from strangers on the street was something he would like to avoid. However, it was a matter of death or life. With no choice, the huge man stopped the first lady he saw on the street and asked her for help to get the direction. The middle aged woman looked surprised at him like most people does because of his extraordinary tall figure first before she started to explain the way to him.
He started to run toward his destination, and when he finally arrived, the huge queuing crowd in front of him almost made his tears fall down.
Pushing through peoples has never been a challenge for him. However facing a huge crowd with girls is another matter. No matter how evil he is he would never hurt a girl. With no choice, he started to queue from the start of the line and prayed hard that there would be some left for him.
It felt like days when he finally started to reach the end of the queue. He looked envying at the happy looking girls who came out from the shop with boxes with a very cute black cat logo on. Finally he reached the entrance of the famous cake café that was newly opened, The Nyanko Café. When he entered the café he already fell in love with this place because of its cozy surrounding and the delicate sweet scents. He suddenly stopped looking around when he noticed the 'small' brown hair guy with his trademark 'stupid looking gentle smile' behind the counter, and he was even wearing a pink apron with the cute black cat logo on, which made him more… stupid! It seems the airhead senior from Seirin in front of him didn't notice about his presence because he was too busy serving the customers in front of him. Teppei Kiyoshi, a name he would always remember, but pretending that he never remembers.
"Welcome mister, what would you like to…" the gentle smile totally disappeared and was replaced by pure fear when he registered the huge man in front of him, Atsushi Murasakibara, one of his biggest nightmare. Murasakibara, the incredible huge skilled player who has repeatedly crushed him on the court both physical and mentally, the only player who makes him tremble in fear.
A loud crushing noise filled the café when Teppei turned around in panic and accidently knocked over a plate on the counter in his attempt of escape until a huge hand dragged him back with incredible strength.
"I want the limited edition of banana chocolate cake…" Why the hell are you running away? If you run away who will give me my cakes? Idiot…
Teppei was taken aback by the unexpected childish and lazy tone from the taller one in front of him. Right, they were not on the court right now. According to Kuroko, Murasakibara's 'devil mode' usually turns on during basketball games otherwise he was quite pleasant to hang out with, which Teppei found it very hard to believe!
"I want the limited edition of banana chocolate cake…" Murasakibara repeated with a little annoyance when he didn't get any response by the stupid goody man in front of him.
"A… right…" Teppei's face turned into crimson red when he realized that he had been totally overreacting. Never has Teppei felt more embarrassed in his whole life, beside the time in his elementary school when he got turned down in front of the whole class by the girl he proposed to… oh, and the time with Hyuga and Izumi… wait, why was he trying to escape from the reality now?
Teppei cheered himself up and smiled gently with his trademark smile toward Muarasakabara.
"I'm sorry, but the last limited banana chocolate cake went to the customer who just left:"
"WHAT…?!"
Teppei couldn't believe his own eyes when Murasakibara suddenly collapsed on the counter and almost cried like a child, which totally didn't suit his image, especially a man in his size!
"Please, tell me there's at least one more!" Murasakibara looked at Teppei like a sad puppy, which made Teppei questioning if Murasakibara had a twin brother that Kuroko forgot to mention.
"Sorry, we don't have any more in stock until 2 more weeks…"
"2 more weeks…. What a pain in the ass…" Murasakibara started to mumble very unhappily.
"But if you want, I'll give you my chocolate cake as compensation, but it's just an ordinary fruit chocolate cake" Teppei felt really sorry for this hug kid in front of him and being a kind hearted man he couldn't stand to watch how sad the man was in front of him.
"… Fine…" Murasakibara should be happy, but instead he was little annoyed by Teppei's too kind personality, to the extent of stupidity! During their last match in the winter cup he should have totally broken this idiot on the court, but at the end of the game this idiot actually smiled sincerely to him and said he wanted to play basketball again with him. And now this idiot is smiling like… an idiot in front of him and offering his kindness to his enemy like he totally forgot about the pain and humiliation he has caused him before. If they were on the court right now, Murasakibara would have done everything to make sure to break him completely, but right now they were in a café surrounded by desserts, which makes things totally different.
"Beside I would like to order 2 strawberry cheesecakes, 2 banana cakes, 5 crepe, the first one with strawberry cheesecake and crème, the other with mango icecream and 2 scope of vanilla ice cream, the third with 2 scope of red bean ice cream, crème and mocchi, the fourth…"
A huge sweat drop appeard on Teppei's forehead, he knew Murasakibara has an extraordinary passion toward sweets from what he has heard, but this was totally crazy! Is he seriously going to eat all the sweets by himself?
"… and 15 doughnuts. 10 with chocolate toppings, and…"
Oi oi oi… how many more are you going to order?
"Sorry, but could you please repeat one more time slowly because I need to note down you order?"
Murasakibara looked annoyed at Teppei.
"Your memory sucks… like your basketball skills… Bet you are doing pretty poor at school…"
Teppei didn't know if he should cry or laugh by the childish freshman in front of him. Maybe he should tell Murasakibara that he is actually ranked within top 10 students in his school? But he knew it wouldn't be much help to protest him, so he took out the notebook and the pen in the shelf and started to write down the order for the first time since he started working here as part time.
TBC.
