Okay, so basically this will be a collection of drabbles on Aokuro that I'll update from time to time. Not sure how long I'll keep this up, but yeahhh. All of these are from my aokuro tumblr account so I thought why not just post them here too? Not much else to say, but enjoy?

Aomine loves the feel of Tetsu's name on his tongue. He loves how his tongue clicks against the ceiling of his mouth as the first syllable sharply sounds, and how it hops lightly as the second comes out in a short sigh; almost like a sigh of contentment each time he talks to Tetsu, knowing that his friend is by his side. It feels good. It feels so natural to him to the point that he is quite certain that Tetsu's name was his first word as a baby. Not 'mommy' or 'daddy' but 'Tetsu'. It feels so right as if Tetsu's name was made for him to say and only him. Maybe that is true because he has yet to hear someone else call his partner that. And he doesn't want to.
Kuroko loves the way Aomine-kun says his name. It sounds right, no, perfect to his ears. He remembers how he first heard 'Tetsu' rolling off his best friend's tongue as if it was the most natural thing in the whole world to him; as if Aomine-kun had been saying it since forever. He could only stare back in awe and wonder at how someone could breathe his life into his name as if it had never lived before—as if he had never lived or meant anything before—in such a special way that made him swelled with warmth and pride in a way that even he couldn't and still can't quite understand.

Kuroko loves the feel of Aomine-kun's name on his tongue. He loves how it draws his lips into so many different motions—like how Aomine-kun draws him into the many new twists and turns, highs and lows, laughter and tears of life—just to utter that simple five syllable name. A simple name on the surface perhaps, but with so much complexity underneath because as simple and opened Aomine-kun is, there is so much more underneath the honest smiles and frowns, laughter and outbursts. So when he lets Aomine-kun's name slip from his lips it is as if he is uttering a hundred different things and a hundred different emotions out because Aomine-kun represents so much to him and he can't contain himself.
Aomine loves the way Tetsu says his name. The soft voice of feathers and clouds carrying his name on air and it's so pleasant and soothing that he just wants to record it and replay it over and over again during frustrating days and restless nights. And it is not a surprise because no matter what happened, no matter what troubles he faced, Tetsu was the one who would come to his rescue. To know that he has a friend who he can always count on and who is always there for him fills him with a certain joy. And when Tetsu says his name, it is with so much care as if it was the most precious thing in the world. Maybe it's true and maybe it's not, but for him, he just wants to believe that his name, he, was the most treasured thing to Tetsu. It is because Tetsu was the most important thing to him.
