So bored right now :/ I have no life… oh well hope you enjoy .!

'xxxxxxx' = thoughts

Kise signed once again as he stared at the wall. He continued to throw the tennis ball he had found outside against said wall and catching it. This repeated over and over again. He really couldn't help it. He was so bored! Everyone was either out of town or too busy to do anything.

'Well I guess it can't be helped since we're on break. How depressing. The one time I don't have work, school, or girls following me around I don't have anything else to do!'

Standing up he decided to just go back home. He walked with an unusual frown on his face. Even when he passed a group of boys playing a seemingly good game of basketball he frowned and continued walking. When he got to his apartment building, he absent mindedly pulled his keys out from his pocket. Just before arriving at his door, he saw non-other than Aomine Daiki napping right in front of it! Kise really couldn't believe his eyes. He hadn't seen Aomine since that day at the Interhigh.

'This idiot. Taking a nap in front of the door! This stupid boy.' His first love.

It had really all started the day when soccer had become too boring. He was just walking around when out of nowhere, the bastard hit him in the back of the head with a basketball! Against his better judgment, he decided to follow him to practice, careful to stay out of sight. And what he saw amazed him.

Ever since that day, Kise had never really been able to see anyone else in the same way as he did Aomine. He knew he was disgusting but he really could not help it. The way he would always play with a smile on his face. The way the muscles in his arms looked while skillfully handling the ball in his hand. The way he gracefully landed on the court after making each mind-blowing jump or shot.

But that was all in the past now. There had been no doubt in his mind that the boy he once fell in love with was no longer the boy sleeping in front of him. He had confirmed that in their match not 3 months ago.

Never-the-less he was sleeping in front of Kise's door, not allowing him to enter or he would have just left him there. "Guess I have no choice." Kise mumbled to no one in particular. Seeing he was in no mood to be social, Kise merely kicked Aomine softly to wake him up. Aomine only stirred so Kise tried again but harder this time.

"Oi! Wake up Aomine."

Opening one eye Aomine stared intensely at the frowning Kise, something not seen often. Still staring him down, Aomine stood up. "No –cchi added?"

*btw if you didn't know Kise adds –cchi to the end of the names of the people that he likes. He uses it as a nickname. Any way back to the story*

When he got no response, Aomine cocked his brow looking intently at Kise before smirking. "What, in that bad of a mood, or did you just hit puberty?"

Kise was not amused however. He simply narrowed his eyes at the tanned, blue haired boy before pushing him aside.

"So you decided to randomly show up at my door, take a nap, and tease me for what reason exactly?"

Aomine opened his mouth to say something but Kise quickly cut him off.

"You know what, it really doesn't matter. And I'm not really in the mood for games if you hadn't noticed so I would appreciate if you left." Kise all but sneered as he unlocked and opened the door to his apartment. He stepped inside before curtly spinning around.

Aomine's brows furrowed in concentration as he really took in how much the blond did not want to see him. But he had come here for a reason and he had to make the blond here him out. "Kise, please, I didn't mean to make you upset, just here me out-"

"No. Just…just go."

As he began to shut the door he found that there was a foot in the way. His head snapped up immediately. "I told you. I just need you to hear me out." When Aomine made a move to step inside Kise freaked. No way was he going to be stuck in his own house with that guy! "No way! Get out of here! Leave!"

His words hurt, but he couldn't give up now. Careful not to hurt the smaller boy, Aomine gentility grabbed Kise's wrist that was pushing against the door. He didn't miss when Kise's eyes went wide with fear. 'It's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you Kise. I won't hurt you!' Aomine screamed in his head, but the words never quite made it out of his mouth.

"Don't make me do this…" Kise whispered. Confused, Aomine tried again to move past the door when you felt a sharp pain in his shin. 'Did he just kick me?' but before he had the chance to recover, he was being forcefully pushed out of the door fame as his balance was unstable. He landed on his butt with a thud. He instantly got back on his feet and made for the door. But it was already too late. The door had already been slammed shut and locked on all possible levels.

"Damn it Kise! Let me in!" Aomine screamed whiles he banged on the door.

Inside, Kise sat on the floor breathing hard. He could hear Aomine's loud banging and yelling as if there was nothing between them. Each bang brought a new vibration through the door.

Ever so slowly, the bangs and yells slowed until Kise could only hear Aomine's panting. For some reason, Kise felt like crying. He wanted to cry and run away from the memory of Aomine forever but he couldn't bring himself to move.

Outside, Aomine's breathing began to slow. He tried desperately to think of words to say that would make Kise open the door but nothing came to. Slowly he turned around and put his back on the door. It felt like years before he felt his bottom land on the concrete beneath him. Bowing his head he began to speak.

"I…I really hope that your listening Kise but I'll be honest, I don't know where to begin. I'm sorry. I'm really, truly sorry. For leaving you. I just casted you aside as if you didn't matter. I treated you as if you weren't important. Ignored you when you needed me the most. Then, I made you my enemy. But the truth is, I never wanted any of that. I lost myself in my own greed and selfishness. But I've come to find that you really do matter. More than anyone else…"

At this, Kise really did start crying. He had to put his hand over his mouth to keep his sobs inaudible from Aomine as he continued.

"And I really hope you don't think I'm disgusting, but I think I like you as more than a friend…"

He paused for a moment and Kise's heart skipped a beat. He was fighting his hardest to keep his breathing even and inaudible to the boy outside.

"But Kise, that obviously doesn't matter. I just want to be able to talk to you again. Make up for lost time, and not waste anymore. I'll wait out here all night if that's want you want. I'll always be waiting if it means you'll talk to me again. Anything…" he concluded.

There was nothing that could hold back the tears and sobs now. Kise had been waiting for so long to be truly accepted by Aomine. He was always throw aside and replaced by Kuroko. But even saying that, he was never close enough for Kuroko to even be called a 'replacement' in the first place.

Aomine froze completely when he began to hear sobs and heavy breathing from the other side of the door. Now convinced that Kise was the one who was crying he stood swiftly. "Kise…?" he called out uncertainly. "Kise are you crying?" receiving no response he only heard more soft sobs. "Kise…no, please. Don't, don't cry. Please?" Panic began to sit in as Aomine shifted nervously. "Kise? Tell me. Tell me what to do. I'll do anything, please, j-just stop crying. N-No…" his breathing was becoming ragged and he was beginning to stutter.

'No! This wasn't supposed to happen. I was supposed to make things better and now I made him cry! He's not supposed to cry. He's supposed to be happy and smiling and and…'

Suddenly, the door opened slowly.

Aomine really was not prepared for what he saw next.

Kise had appeared before him. One hand was on the door knob while the other was brought to his blood-shot eyes. There were tears still streaming down his face and the stretch of skin from ear to ear was a beautifully glowing pink. His bright blond hair was ruffled and sticking up in all different places. While his eyes wear red and puffy, the gold had never been to predominate. Finally, his lips were red and slightly swollen from biting down to hard.

Aomine thought that Kise had never looked so beautiful except that he was sad and the frown he was sporting had begun to quiver with fresh tears beginning to stream out of those beautiful eyes.

"No…" Aomine breathed out.

When Kise had begun to walk towards him, he froze once more holding his arms out awkwardly as Kise found himself stumbling into them. Straightening out, Kise buried his blushing face into the crook of Aomine's neck and embracing his toned back.

Automatically, Aomine returned his embrace. With one arm, he brought Kise even closer to himself while raping it tightly around his waist. The other gently cradled the blonds head lovingly. Neither knew how long they stayed like that but neither of them cared.

When Kise's breathing started to slow and only a few tears were wetting Aomine's t-shirt, Aomine slowly started to move them inside Kise's apartment. Slowly they made their way to Kise's bedroom. Aomine lied the both of them onto the bed, pulling Kise close to his body and the covers over there bodies.

"Why?"

Aomine's eyes widened at the question.

"What?"

"Why did you come back?" Kise asked again.

"…"

Aomine took a moment to answer. Why had he come back? What drew him back here after all of this time?

"I'm not sure." He answered truthfully. "It just felt right. Something I should do."

Kise never responded. Instead he pondered this for a while. 'Why had he come back after all this time, and just when I had given up too…'

"Kise?"

"Yes?"

"…I love you."

Kise looked up to see if Aomine was being serious. When he saw that he was, he couldn't move. He was having a hard time thinking let alone breathing. His eyes had said that he was being completely serious. For the first time in his entire life, Kise felt as if someone had truly taken the time to know him and understand him…and love him for him. He was so completely filled with joy he couldn't move a muscle in fear that he would burst.

Then, just when Kise thought that the world couldn't get any more beautiful, Aomine smiled. It was one of his rare, genuine smiles that showed so much happiness and love Kise thought he would die.

Ever so slowly, Aomine lowered himself to Kise's still swollen lips. Taking extreme care, as if the smallest movements would make him fall to pieces, Aomine kissed him. It was chaste and insistent and sweet. Kise felt his eyes flutter.

With drawling, Aomine looked carefully for any signs of discontent. When he saw that there was none he whispered gently, "Sleep now, Ryota. I'll keep you safe. Always."

Kise could only smile slightly as he felt sleep begin to overtake him. He felt warm and safe in Aomine's arms. A feeling he was sure he would never feel with anyone else. The last thing he could consciously remember was the soft feeling of lips on his forehead as he drifted into the unconscious.
