A/N: Hi! Ok, so this is my first fanfic for the Kurobas Fandom and I was only inspired to write this because of a post on tumblr that i saw where someone drew what the children of the various couples may look like. And I absolutely fell in love with Noa. I will upload the link to it when i find it but it may take awhile since its somewhere deep in my likes and i've not gone to tumblr in forever due to school and internship. But I will find it. I must share Noa's beauty.

This is also the first time I'm trying to write something somewhat fluffy? All the ideas I've ever had are full of angst so this is a first. I'm also not technically in this fandom and anything I know is from what my sister has told me so I would appreciate any constructive criticism on their characterization or anything. Also, check out her KnB Vampire AU story too! Her pen name is Reiyurika.

This story is beta'ed by SaphyreDraconis and Reiyurika. Enjoy~

6 year old Kagami Reo lay sprawled across his bed, lazily flipping through the pages of a basketball magazine. There was a knock on his door and he looked up to see his daddy, Kuroko Tetsuya, at the doorway.

"Reo, just to let you know, Noa-kun will be with us for a week next week. Since he is the same age as Yuua, he'll sleep in Yuua's room. Please be on your best behavior and treat him kindly."

"...who?"

Kuroko sighed. "Noa-kun, your uncle Himuro-kun and Murasakibara-kun's son."

"Ah, hai."

XXXXXXX

Reo stood at the courtyard of his school, Teiko Elementary, unsure of what to do. His younger brother, Kagami Yuua was currently in Teiko Kindergarten, where their daddy, Kuroko Tetsuya was teaching. They usually ended before he did and would come to fetch him to go home together.

Reo was already outside he gates when he realized that this could be classified as an emergency and he should probably use the cellphone his dad gave him. With purpose, he fished out the cellphone and dialed Kuroko's number.

"Hello?"

"Daddy! It's Reo!"

"Reo? Did something happen?"

"My class was canceled."

"... Then why don't you wait for me and Yuua at school?"

"Well... I'm already outside the school."

There was a sigh before Kuroko replied. "Then why don't you come over to the kindergarten?"

"Ok!"

"Ok, I'll see you here later. Be careful."

"Hai."

XXXXXXX

After walking for quite a while, Reo finally saw the kindergarten building. When he reached the gates, he saw that there were a lot of adults gathered there, waiting for their children.

Kindergarten must be ending soon...

Reo managed to maneuver through the adults to the front just as the doors opened to let out the children. He stood his ground and endured the stampede of children before he could finally make his way to his daddy, who was standing at the door as he saw the last of the kids off.

"Daddy!" Reo rushed forward into Kuroko's arms, trying to hug him as much as his short arms could reach. Kuroko smiled and scooped him up. "Hello, Reo. Yuua is waiting at the kitchen."

They went together to the kitchen where Kuroko deposited Reo as he still had to clean up the classrooms and close up.

"Onii-chan!" Reo held his arms out to hug Yuua, grinning at him. Though they were brothers, they looked nothing alike except for their pale skin. Reo had coarse reddish brown hair and pale blue eyes while Yuua had soft teal hair and red eyes. Their personalities were also different, Yuua was more patient and gentle than his brother and tended to be more levelheaded than Reo while Reo was more rash and impulsive though he was more physically stronger than Yuua.

There was a sound of a stool scraping the floor and Reo looked up in surprise to see the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his relatively short life. She had black shoulder length, soft-looking hair that had some tied in a small ponytail at the top of her head and the roundest, sparkliest purple eyes. She was looking at him with curiosity while eating a tangerine.

"Wh-who are you?" He squeaked in surprise.

Yuua let go of him and turned, wanting to introduce them when he was cut off by Kuroko coming into the kitchen.

"Ah, Reo, this is Noa. Noa, this is Yuua's older brother, Reo. Say hello."

"Hello, Reo-chin" Noa stood up and bowed politely.

chin?

"H-hello." Reo stammered back, bowing as well.

"He'll be staying with us for a week as his parents are going abroad for a business trip." Kuroko smiled as he bent and ruffled Noa's hair, who smiled shyly back.

Wait... This "girl" is Noa?!

XXXXXXX

A few days later, on one of the days where both Kuroko and Kagami were free, they decided to go out as a whole family to the park as usual. Only now there was the addition of Noa.

"Alright. Everyone is ready." Kuroko said as he finished helping Noa tie his shoelaces. Everyone was waiting ready at the front door, Nigou weaving among them in excitement. It was a rare treat for the whole family to go out together.

"Noa-kun, would you prefer being carried or do you want to walk there?" Kuroko asked and Noa raised his arms in answer.

"Do you want me to hold him instead?" Kagami asked Kuroko as he reached for Noa.

Noa squeaked and flung his arms around Kuroko's neck before Kuroko could move away.

"Taiga-kun, you scared him. Your face is too scary." Kuroko reprimanded Kagami as he scooped Noa up who buried his head in Kuroko's chest when he turned to face Kagami.

Kagami grumbled and turned to Yuua instead. "Looks like you'll be with me this time. Do you want me to carry you or do you want to walk?" Yuua too raised his arms in answer.

"Why don't I get asked?" Reo complained as Kagami scooped Yuua up who became excited at the unusual increase in height.

"You're older. So you'll walk instead. Lets go." Kagami held out his hand and took Reo's while Kuroko took Nigou's leash and they all walked to the park together happily.

Reo was happy when they could have days like this. His dad worked as a firefighter and worked shifts and he sometimes had to go to work even on his days off if there was an emergency. His daddy worked as a kindergarten teacher and would only have the weekends free thus it was difficult to have their off days match which made days like this all the more precious.

It was a bit different this time though. Because of Noa. Kuroko usually carried Yuua instead though Reo would still walk with Kagami. Nigou would always be with Kuroko as Kagami wasn't very fond of him.

Murasakibara Noa. His parents were Murasakibara Atsushi and Himuro Tatsuya. One was a Generation of Miracle and knew his daddy while the other was his dad's brother.

They would usually visit them for the holidays as they lived far away in Akita prefecture. Their visits was always short thus he never really did pay much attention to Noa. He knew they had a son the same age as Yuua but had never seen much of him. He had been stunned speechless when he found out exactly just how pretty Noa turned out to be. People would think he was a girl if they didn't know. Just like he had.

They arrived at the park and the three of them as well as Nigou went to play while Kuroko and Kagami sat on a bench to watch and chat.

As they played, Reo couldn't help but keep sneaking glances at Noa. He kept an eye on Yuua too of course but he couldn't help but linger at Noa. Even while running around or playing in the sand and grass, he looked beautiful. Reo couldn't understand how he could not have noticed the times they had gone over. Reo sighed as he scratched behind Nigou's ears, who was lying on the grass in front of him.

He watched as Noa came over to where Yuua was digging in the sand and started helping, smiling widely the entire time as the two talked. Reo felt a pang of jealousy. He and Noa were still awkward with each other. Noa and Yuua were the same age thus it was easier for them to become friends. He watched until Noa went off to start digging his own hole before he stood up and wandered off with Nigou following him, wondering desolately on how to bridge the gap between them.

As he wandered, he suddenly came to a line of bushes that had the most amazing flowers. He contemplated picking some for his daddy when an idea formed in his head.

Murasakibara Noa was digging a hole in the sand when he was approached by Yuua's older brother, Reo. He looked up when a pair of feet and paws came into his view.

Noa had seen Reo a few times when his daddy's brother's family came to visit but had always been intimidated by Reo because of the fierce aura and presence around him.

Yuua, on the other hand, had a more calmer aura and a presence that was almost non-existent. Noa felt more comfortable with Yuua as his calm demeanor resembled his parents more than Reo's.

They stared at one another until Noa became uncomfortable and offered Reo a small smile. It seemed to break Reo out of his thoughts as he broke the eye contact and looked shyly at the ground instead.

"I uh... I- Here! This is for you!" Reo stuttered before pushing a stalk of pink hydrangea at Noa.

Noa took the flower, confused. Then it was as though Reo was watching in slow motion. His eyes lit up as he recognized the flower and then Noa was turning a beaming smile up at him that made Reo's head spin.

"Thank you, Reo-chin!"

Reo's face flushed, and he felt as though something warm and fuzzy had just taken a hold of his heart and squeezed as he watched Noa place the flower in his hair.

7 YEARS LATER

"Reo! You're going to be late for school! Get your ass here!" Kagami shouted out the kitchen door as he cooked breakfast for the family. Kuroko and Yuua were already at the table eating omelets and they exchanged worried glances at Reo's behavior.

"Do you think he is okay? I'm afraid that his break up might have affected him.
It is unlike him to be late for breakfast." Kuroko commented as he placed his plate in the sink.

"He's a strong one, he'll get through it. We just have to be patient and be there for him." Kagami replied as he placed a fresh omelet on a plate for Reo.

"Kitamoto-san was a sweet girl though. It is a pity that they broke up."

"What are you guys talking about?" Reo asked, appearing at the door with Nigou, yawning just as Kuroko was about to reply. The three exchanged glances with each other again as Reo slumped over his seat and began stuffing himself with food while Nigou went to his food bowl for his own breakfast.

It was obvious to everyone that Reo was upset. He was usually the first there for breakfast, especially if Kagami was cooking. He would have a bad case of bed head but otherwise he would look somewhat presentable and refreshed from a good night sleep.

This morning though, not only was he late for breakfast, he was still half-asleep, grouchy, his clothes wrinkled and rumpled, his hair a mess, he had dark eye bags beneath hostile and tired eyes and was eating listlessly, his usual vigor gone.

"Well, we have to get going. Be good and study hard. Don't forget to lock the door later." Kuroko said as he and Kagami got up. Reo just grunted in acknowledgment.

"I'll see you off." Yuua volunteered, getting up as well.

"Keep an eye on him ok?" Kuroko said at the door.

"Hai otou-san." Yuua replied and watched until his parents turned a corner before closing the door. He headed back to the kitchen but Reo had already left. He heard the shower turn on so Yuua took the leftover plates and washed up, putting on an apron and rolling up his uniform sleeves carefully so as not to get his uniform wet and soapy.

Yuua was drying his hands when Reo came back into the kitchen. He looked better than before after a shower, his clothes and hair were neater though he still looked the worse for wear.

"Where's the bento?"

Well at least his love for food hadn't changed.

"Here." Yuua said as he took their bento that Kagami had made for them from the counter to the island where Reo was waiting. They silently packed up and left the house, making sure that they locked everything before setting off.

Reo yawned again as he and Yuua walked to school. He had stayed up too late last night thinking of the words his ex-girlfriend, Kitamoto Airi had said to him. The reason she broke up with him yesterday.

I don't know where your heart lies but its not with me.

What did that even mean?

Was she saying that he didn't love her? He didn't understand. He couldn't think of anything that he did wrong. He'd always eat lunch with her, go out with her on dates to the amusement park, movies, shopping, everything under the sun really. He'd always walk her back home after too and made sure to remember important dates like her birthday and their anniversary. He'd buy her little gifts to surprise her and told her that he loved her on a regular basis. Was it not enough?

"Onii-chan. We're here." Yuua's voice broke him out of his musings and he grunted in acknowledgment.

Teikou Middle School. The school where their daddy had gone to when he was young. Even after all these years, the school is still known for its basketball team and naturally Reo and Yuua joined as well. They reached the courtyard just as the bell rang.

"I'll see you and Reika-san at lunch later, onii-chan."

"Yeah..." Yuua looked concerned but otherwise said nothing and they separated. Reo was walking down the hallway and was about to enter his classroom when he suddenly saw Airi. He took a moment to watch her walk to her own classroom, feeling regret at their breakup. He would usually have met up with her at the gate and he would send her over to her class before going to his. They had met when she had come to a basketball match to support them and became friends. They only started going out after she confessed to him.

"Good morning, Reo-chan." Reo startled, turning around to find his best friend, Midorima Reika at the door. He glanced down to find a small fluffy sheep plushie clutched in her hand.

"Is that your lucky item for the day?"

"Yes." He tried to smile but had a feeling it came off more as a grimace.

They had known each other from young as her dad was one of the Generation of Miracles and knew Kuroko. Though their dads weren't really close, he and Reika clicked immediately even though they had such different personalities.

Reo was fierce, reckless and quick to temper while Reika was prim, proper and very gentle. She had long, straight green hair with black lowlights, shining silver-blue eyes and a smooth porcelain skin and complexion that made those features stand out even more. Her hair was tied in a simple high ponytail today.

"I heard what happened. Are you okay? You look awful." Reika asked him as they walked towards the rooftop together. Reika would always bring a bento everyday thus they would usually go to the rooftop to eat if Reo and Yuua brought one too. Otherwise she went to the cafeteria with them.

"I'm fine." Reo didn't really feel like telling her how confused and hurt he was feeling right now. He didn't need her pity.

"You're so stubborn." Reika muttered but he ignored her. Yuua wasn't there yet when they came so they settled down to wait for him. Reo leaned against the fence and pillowed his head with his arms, dozing off almost immediately.

He must have stayed up all night to fall asleep so fast.

Reika sighed, wishing that Reo wouldn't be so stubborn about his feelings. She didn't want him to keep every thing bottled up. It would only burden him in the long run. She wished he could trust them more. She watched Reo's sleeping face, a scowl on his face even in sleep. She sighed again and adjusted her skirt, looking off into the distance as she remembered how Airi had glared at her this morning.

It was pretty clear that Airi had not wanted to let Reo go, that she still loved him and wanted him. Everyone knew what a catch Reo was. Handsome, popular, great at basketball, fiercely loyal and a gentleman. Airi had probably felt insecure because of Reika's and Reo's friendship and frankly, Reika couldn't blame her. Their relationship was hard for others outside their clique to understand.

There was a click that signaled Yuua's arrival and Reika was about to wake Reo up when she saw that he had someone with him. Yuua saw that Reo was asleep and brought a finger to his lips to signal to Reika to keep quiet. She smiled as she nodded. She watched as Yuua and the newcomer tiptoe across to where they sat.

The stranger smiled at her and bowed in greeting and she bowed back. He was taller than Yuua but shorter than Reo and had shoulder-length black hair and smooth fair skin. But it was his eyes that stood out to her the most. He had the most beautiful pair of round purple eyes she had ever seen. His physique resembled Yuua's, lean but muscled unlike Reo who had a more bulkier build. From the way the stranger could easily move right up to Reo's face, and the fact that Reo didn't react at all to the intrusion meant that they knew each other. That they must be quite close actually.

Interesting...

Noa giggled as he leaned over Reo, planning to shock him when he woke up. He blew a small wind at Reo's face but it only made Reo scrunch up even more.

Why is he frowning in his sleep anyway?

He looked back up at Yuua but Yuua only shrugged. Noa looked back at Reo and lightly brushed his fingers across Reo's face, surprisingly erasing the frown lines as he went. Reo's eyes slowly opened, cloudy with sleep and there was a beat of silence as they stared at one another.

"Good morning, Reo-chin!" Noa greeted, smiling happily down at Reo.

Blink, blink.

"NOA?!" Reo yelped, sitting abruptly and causing them to knock their heads together painfully and Noa to fall on his butt.

"Ow... It's nice to see you too, Reo-chin." Noa said, laughing at Reo's stunned expression while rubbing at his forehead.

"W-what are you doing here?" Reo asked through his shock.

"We moved here just recently. We didn't tell you guys because we wanted it to be a surprise!" Noa explained as Reika and Yuua laughed.

"Well it certainly is a pleasant surprise. I take it that you guys are going to come over for a surprise visit?" Yuua asked as he settled down on Reo's right.

"Oh, this is Midorima Reika-san. Reika-san, this is Murasakibara Noa-kun." Yuua introduced when it seemed like Reo had no intention of doing so.

They smiled and bowed to each other in greeting. They ate their lunch as Noa told them when they had already planned on moving, to be closer as well as to expand his dad's bakery business.

Reika looked at Reo as she half-listened to their conversation. Something seemed different about him ever since Noa's arrival but she couldn't figure out what. It was only when they started laughing at one of Noa's jokes that she realized it.

Reo was laughing.

He was laughing and smiling when he had been scowling since the start of the day. He still looked tired but he seemed less gloomy and brooding and there was a light in his eyes that showed how genuinely he was enjoying himself now.

To have such an effect on Reo...

Yuua glanced over at her and they smiled at one another, both aware of the change in Reo's demeanor. She continued smiling as she watched a huge smile adorn Reo's face as he laughed along with Noa.

How very interesting indeed...

TBC

A/N: This chapter is pretty short but the next few would be longer i think. Anyway, I know that in Japan, the school year starts somewhere around the middle of the year? But I'm totally going to disregard that in the story. Reika wasn't included in the tumblr post i mentioned above so she was based on another tumblr post I saw on Midorima's younger sister. I'll also try to find the link to that post. If anyone knows the links, please let me know!

Anyway, next chapter will see the introduction of the AoKise Twins and I think that'll be longer and more funny? Might take quite awhile for the next update though since I'm getting more busy with internship and final year project.

Thanks for reading!
