"Kuroko no Basket" belongs to Fujimaki Tadatoshi-sensei.
There was nothing but silence left to hear at that moment. He felt his heartbeat accelerating. His breath running faster and faster with every damn second. It was suffocating him to the point he was unable to breathe properly. The knees went weak and it actually felt like he was fainting. Grabbing his t-shirt with all the power left in hands and trying to control the wild breathing, he managed to stop himself from falling.
Thoughts...? He didn't have any. Mind went blank after hearing other guy's words. But now, having his state more or less back to normal (not really what he would call normal, but better than a few moments ago anyway), the only way to stop this shit from getting worse was to escape from this situation. Usually, he wasn't the running one in any problems he had to deal with, and well, he wasn't a coward anyway, but not now. He had his eyes running wild to find the gym's exit, even though it was a well-known place, he looked like a cornered wild beast. And yes, after seconds he found himself running through the gym's door away, fastening and pushing his legs hard like his life was depending on it. After a while, he stopped and an unbearable pain hit his chest, like someone just stabbed him directly in the heart. He felt warm liquid running down his cheeks. Kagami Taiga was fucking crying like a little kid.
Aomine was left behind in gym, looking at the door Kagami ran through moments ago. Not like he didn't want to stop or even run after him, just it wouldn't help because he was a fucking jerk and perfectly understood that. The way he said it out loud wasn't a pleasing one. He didn't think though that Kagami would react like this. After spacing out for more than 15 minutes, Aomine picked up his bag and went to the door to leave, when suddenly a well-known silhouette appeared in front of him. Kagami didn't look at bluenette, his gaze still pinning the floor. Aomine sighed and passed by him without saying anything.
On the way back home, Aomine got lost in thoughts. 'He apparently cried, his eyes were red... oh fuck!', he screamed inside scratching hard the back of his head. 'And why I'm such an asshole?', he mumbled kicking angrily a trash bin he was passing by. 'Whatever. Nothing will change if I just stay here as a dumb fuck and think about why's and what-if's. I have to apologize. Properly. And, sooner better.' He felt sorry and wanted Kagami to know about it, even if the other guy ended up punching or beating the crap out of him. It's better if he did so, so Aomine wouldn't feel like a bastard this much.
Kagami arrived home later than usually. He dumped his bag and basketball next to the sofa, took his clothes off and went directly to the bathroom to take a cold shower. His mind weren't completely blank, but his brain wasn't working as usual.'What the fuck in the world happened today...?' His brain tried hard to put together words and images, but it was a useless try. He cooled down his head thanks to shower and then went to kitchen to prepare something, as he felt his stomach rumbling while dressing up. He made some fried vegetables with rice, even if he liked meat and had tons of it in fridge, the redhead didn't have any mood to prepare something that took more time, as he was really hungry, and sat at the table to eat. Kagami finished his meal while spacing out thinking about nothing in particular.
It was a bit past 9 PM when a sound of doorbell woke him up from daydreaming. He didn't realize at first what the hell that sound was and started to look around like an idiot. Anyway, who was visiting him at such a late time? The redhead stood up from the sofa and lazily went to check out who was the brat that didn't have the fucking patience for Kagami to open the door. 'Annoying ... you're annoying...' "YOU ARE FUCKING ANNOYING BRAT! STOP CALLING AT THE DOOR OR I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!...", yelled Kagami at the visitor while opening the door with a 'bang' which mostly hit the prankster's face.
With their eyes opened wide, both Kagami and his late visitor stared at each other for few seconds. The other guy broke the silence first.
"Yo, Taiga." , he said scratching the back of his head, "pardon me for the intrusion, but can we talk?", said Aomine lowering his voice at the end of sentence, Kagami still looking at him as a dumb fuck, not getting what other teen wanted. After a split second, he realized who was the person in front of him and blood run to his head.
"Why the hell I'll talk with you now? I'm a fucking gay, forgot? I spread my legs in front of every man with a big dick! Fuck! Screw out this shit, I'm going to watch some gay porn and masturbate, so leave me alone!", Kagami shouted angrily and wanted to shut the door in front of Aomine, who was really surprised at how the redhead acted and how sexy he looked with that slightly blush on his cheeks, eyes burning with anger and that voice...! The voice which made him go crazy and act weird like now. The bluenette stopped the slamming door with both his hand and leg because Kagami was really strong and if he used a hand only,he surely would have to visit a doctor later.
"Oi, Kagami, calm down! I just want to talk!", he forced himself inside even if the other guy was pushing hard to close the door. After few minutes of struggle, Aomine finally entered Kagami's apartment fully and closed the door behind him. They both were sweaty and panting, looking at each other with angry expressions on their faces.
"You stupid idiot! Was it that hard just to let me in and talk a bit?" Aomine lost his temper and shouted back at Kagami, who was laying on the floor after a violent kick from Aomine. 'Phew! This brat made me shout at him when I was fucking trying to get my thoughts together and apologize properly for insulting him. Seriously, he's such a pain in ass!'
"Whatever. I didn't come here to fight or anything like that. I just want...", Aomine sat in front of the redhead, his knees touching the cold floor and bowed his head deeply, mostly touching the floor as well, "to apologize for insulting you today! I didn't mean to go this far, but I'm such an idiot, and wanted to tease you a bit, jokingly of course, but it went out of control, so I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE! Please, forgive me!" He said it out fluently, with no embarrassment or awkwardness in his voice. He sounded really sincere to himself and hoped that Kagami will notice and understand that.
"Pfffft- hahahahaha! Just look at him, Aomine Daiki in person, bowing that way and apologizing with such passion...! You make me laugh, seriously." Kagami said wiping the tears which appeared at the corners of his eyes as he was laughing hard. 'LMFAO, he looks so funny.', the redhead thought.
Some veins were twitching on Aomine's forehead as he heard Kagami's wild laugh, and he yelled"You bastard! What's so funny about me sincerely apologizing? Huh?"
"No no no! Nothing in particular, just you looked so funny I can't even- pfffft, oh shit. Stop looking at me like that or I'll die here from laughing!"
"Hey, Kagami, calm fucking down or I'll kick you again."
"Yeah, yeah. Sorry sorry! And, why I'm apologizing...? You were the one to be sorry here- pffft"
"Forget about it, I'm not sorry anymore. Idiot.", said Aomine pouting.
"Copying Midorima heh? Kise's better at copying though." Kagami smiled and stood up from the floor giving a hand of help to Aomine. "Anyway, you're a good boy if you came all the way here just to say that. Appreciate it, though I can't promise to forgive you that easily. Those words weren't pleasing, you know."
Aomine nodded and started talking "I don't know what I was thinking about that time, I felt like shit after realizing it didn't sound as a joke anymore. Sorry again."
"Nah, stop it or I'll burst into laugh again. Anyway, since you're here wanna something to drink?" said Kagami leading to kitchen to get something from fridge.
"Yeah, whatever will be fine. Thanks."
They both sat at the table, Kagami pouring some orange juice in two glasses, and handling one to Aomine thought 'Wow, he really tries his best to be nice! Never thought Aomine is capable of something else besides being good at basketball and being a jerk.' The bluenette swallowed the juice in one gulp and prepared himself to leave, when Kagami's voice sounded like some music to his ears
"Leaving already huh? I thought you wanted to talk so hard, even kicked me to enter.", he smiled.
"Well, we talked... didn't we?" Aomine mumbled, his gaze piercing Kagami.
The redhead stared back at him and opened his mouth "Huh? And, that was all you wanted to say? Nothing more? I thought there's some serious stuff on your mind, but if you say so-" Kagami shrugged and stood up to face Aomine, who almost was exiting the apartment by opening the door.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow on practice. Goodnight."
"Goodnight." Kagami locked the door, after Aomine left, thinking 'And what exactly was that?'. Scratching the back of his head, he went to bedroom to sleep as his body kept telling him that he was freaking exhausted and needed to rest. He curled under the soft and warming blanket, eyelids became heavy and he finally fell asleep.
Hi there~ This is my first fan fiction ever, so I'm sorry if the plot or spelling sucks. English isn't my native language anyway. *sigh*
Anyway, I hope at least it wasn't super boring and you read it til end. The story will continue, obviously, so if you're interested, keep an eye at updates. And yeah, I noticed that is hard to read the dialogues especially, but I have no idea how to write easy-to-read stuffs, so bear with that until I get some experience at writing.
Thanks for your attention and comments are always welcomed!
