A/N: A sudden inspiration came to me while I was working yesterday. This is the result. This fic is meant to be a collection of one-shot drabbles. But let me know if you think it will be a good idea to expand this *grins*

First Impression: Kuroko Tetsuya

In case of with Kuroko Tetsuya, it probably went like this…

Kuroko, 13 year old second year of Teikou Middle with shocking (and yet) pale blue hair and a pair of big round sky blue eyes, was walking quietly entering his school in early autumn. His delicate, bordering to almost feminine face was deep in his favorite mystery novel.

Kuroko didn't pay much attention to other people around him as he walked, expertly dodging the swarming students milling around him. It was just like the other people that completely missed his presence there. He didn't mind. He liked to be left alone when he was reading anyway.

"Excuse me."

Furthermore, this way he could practice his misdirection. It was good.

"Excuse me."

Besides, he wouldn't know what to say if he was suddenly addressed by strangers. He didn't exactly know these people that well anyway.

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

Kuroko jolted in surprise as he felt a relatively big palm grabbing his left shoulder. He almost dropped his book as he glanced at the hand before he slowly turned around and looked upward to see a tall boy with strange dual colored hair, red at the top and dark brown at the bottom, and a pair of sharp, intense crimson eyes.

Kuroko almost gulped as the taller boy kept looking at him deeply, "Yes?" even though he believed his dull expression, calm voice and tone betrayed his inner thought.

"Sorry for bothering. But do you know where the teacher's longue is?" the red-dark brown haired boy asked, his voice rather gruff. It sounded stiff and croaky, as if he had just been undergoing voice change.

Well, that might be the case. But, Kuroko had to admit that this boy's eyes were quite something. The penetrating gaze was so… he didn't know how to say it. It was like he was eye to eye with a beast, a tiger, instead of a human.

"Teacher's longue…" Kuroko was trying not to get distracted by those eyes by repeating the bigger boy's last words. He hadn't yet registered what he was asking as Kuroko also perceived the other boy's toned athletic built. He was so tall, almost as tall as Aomine, maybe the same as him.

Moreover, did this guy seriously just greet Kuroko, of all people that sauntered around in the yard? Kuroko was aware that some people started to turn their faces on them now. The taller boy's presence was quite imposing, like Akashi.

"Yeah, figured I just can ask someone instead of circling around the school looking for it," then the tiger grinned sheepishly, his jagged feature softening a bit at the quirk of his mouth. Kuroko blinked at the sudden change, but that smile was rather nice.

Wait, what was that? Kuroko couldn't believe he just thought that. Anyway, this guy's eyebrows were funny. They were split on the middle, as if he had two eyebrows above each eye. It was… unique, but not exactly unattractive.

Kuroko blinked again, almost berating himself for noticing such strange things about a guy he barely knew.

"Uh… I can take you there," Kuroko offered, since he didn't know if he could concentrate on explaining the way while thinking about how peculiar this boy's trait was. Anyway, who was this guy? Kuroko hadn't ever seen him around before. A new student, maybe?

"That'd be awesome! Thanks!" Now the boy's grin widened almost ear to ear. His lightened feature was very bright it almost blinded Kuroko's sight.

Wow…—Kuroko couldn't help thinking slightly in wonder.

"I'm Kagami Taiga, by the way. What's yours?" the boy asked when Kuroko led him to enter the school building to go to teacher's office.

"Kuroko Tetsuya," Kuroko replied calmly.

"Kuroko… sounds nice. Nice to meet you, Kuroko," Kagami smiled at him as he offered his hand in a handshake.

Kuroko looked at the hand for a few seconds, thinking that the guy was very casual in greeting a new person, like a foreigner.

Wait, a foreigner?

Ah, maybe this guy is a foreigner. That's why…

Kuroko let out a small smile on his own, accepting the handshake. "Nice to meet you too, Kagami-kun."

When their hands met in each other's grasp, Kuroko felt Kagami's strong sure grip and he instantly thought that this guy had to be a reliable guy. He was secretly pleased to make such new acquaintance.

Besides, Kagami noticed Kuroko.

All of people that Kuroko had ever met, never once did they notice his presence unless he greeted them first, and yet… out of everyone around Kuroko that Kagami could choose to greet, he had zeroed on Kuroko and addressed him first.

It was… very pleasant. Somehow, Kuroko felt extraordinarily happy of that fact. It was surprising, and yet also exhilarating to know that there was a person like Kagami out there, a person that noticed Kuroko without Kuroko having to make an effort to be.

"We are here," Kuroko said, stopping in front of a wooden door, the sign above it read: Teacher's Office.

"Thanks again, Kuroko. See you later!" Kagami said, patting Kuroko's back in a friendly and grateful gesture with a wide grin on his face before he entered the office,

"Yes, see you later." Kuroko replied softly.

And no, it wasn't just a figurative speech or an empty promise, because Kuroko would really love to meet Kagami again later and know him more.

It was outlandish, such peculiar feeling, but Kuroko felt that he and Kagami could be really good friends… maybe more. He didn't know why he thought that since they had just met and all, but… that's the thing. The feeling was there.

Even before Kagami knew him, he had noticed Kuroko… and of course, Kuroko desired to be noticed more… more by him.
