Drabble #1: First meeting

Sluuuuuurp.

Ears perked up, looking up from his drink to stare at the boy who seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Thoughts of "When did he sit down?" or "How come I did not notice him?" filled his mind. This boy also hadn't noticed him and minded his own business, drinking the milkshake. Such treatment was something he had gotten used to so he might as well do the same.

Still, his curiosity got the best of him, eyes gazing back at the boy. He had never encountered someone who had the same circumstance as his, and for once, he was relieved. He wished to strike a conversation. However, he had no intention of bothering the boy, whose eyes had a subtle spark in them as he drank what could be a delightful drink.

So for now, he would enjoy the other's presence, oblivious to his.

Drabble #2: Warmth

People who were too busy in thinking of their work, too blind to see their surroundings, bustled through the streets. Mayuzumi had no problem with that. Bumping into people because of his low presence was what making things difficult for him. No one bothered to send a 'sorry' or an 'excuse me' to his way. But he went on. Fortunately, none of the bumps were powerful enough to send him crashing to the ground.

A rushing businessman pushed through the crowd accidentally hit Mayuzumi with the suitcase, causing him lose his balance and fall. He could have dodged it but the thickness of the crowd gave him no chance.

Being invisible was truly difficult.

Right now, he should be standing up and get moving or people might trample him which was not impossible to happen.

"Excuse me, are you all right?" A monotone voice with a hint of softness cut through the noise, catching him by surprise. A pale hand came into view and he grabbed it without any hesitation. Then he saw blank blue orbs focused on him.

Oh. It was the boy from the other day.

Mayuzumi got up from the ground and the shorter of the two blinked at him. A word of gratitude would suffice but he couldn't utter the words. He had grown used to silence as only a few people have noticed him.

And this boy… The same as him…

After the long silence between them, he finally spoke. "Thank you."

The boy nodded. A polite kid. "Please be careful on your way." He turned around, letting himself blend with the crowd.

Although he was no longer in sight, Mayuzumi could still feel the warmth on his hand.

Drabble #3: MayuKuro on a Date

Kuroko found himself enveloped in Mayuzumi's warmth. Familiar shouts of his name faded in the background as the fast, steady beat of his heart echoed. What seemed to be five minutes felt like hours before his former teammates disappeared, no longer a hindrance to them.

He thought now was the best time to break away because he had never been this close to a person, who would have both of their arms wrapped around him, firm and protective. If he even let a second pass, his heart might explode

His hands, suddenly weak, pressed against Mayuzumi's chest to give themselves some distance.

Conscious that his face was burning, Kuroko faced the other way, not wanting to look Mayuzumi in the eye. "I think we're safe now, Mayuzumi-senpai. We should go before they see us again."

No words came but he felt the warmth once more, *his* breath against his ears, *his* beating heart, *his* arms tightening around him.

No words came…

But Kuroko understood.

Burying his face, he welcomed the warmth. He just hoped he could survive it.
