They had won. Seirin had prevailed over all the Generation of Miracles to take their place at the top during the winter cup. Kuroko could hardly believe it. He had his regular monotone look on his face but to those who knew him they could see the happiness radiating off of the sky blue haired teen as he celebrated with his team.
They stepped out of the gym bright sunlight flooding their eyes. And Kuroko looked over to see much to his shock the Generation of Miracle players gathered all together seemingly waiting. He smiled and easily slipped away from his team mates walking over to his former team.
"Tetsuya"
"Kuro-Chin"
"Kurokocchi"
"Tetsu"
"Kuroko" All his teammates acknowledged him and he nodded in response. It was the greatest gift of all to see each of them with a fire in their eyes that he hadn't seen in a very long time. And the awkward tenseness around them was slowly dissipating. Yes they would always be competitive against each other, but you could now tell they that had indeed been friends at one point and were close to being that again.
"Kurokocchi!" Kise yelled out in shock. His other former team mates seemed to freeze as a tear slid down Kuroko's face. First one then another until he was fully crying.
"What the hell's wrong" Kagami had spotted them all and made his way over just in time to see his shadow begin to cry. None of the rainbow haired group could answer all too shocked; they had never seen Kuroko cry, had never seen such a display of emotion.
Kuroko wiped his eyes apologizing softly "Sorry, I'm sorry… I'm just really happy"
Kagami stared for a moment then burst into laughter he hit Kuroko lightly "Idiot then smile don't cry. You're supposed to tell them you can't wait to play them again"
"Right" He nodded finally stopping his tears to let out one of his rare smiles. Before he could say anything further he was picked up and squeezed by Kise as the blonde blubbered about how cute Kuroko was.
"Kise-kun please let me go" His monotone had returned and Kise pouted as he reluctantly released the powder blue headed teen.
The others all smiled and in that moment there was a blinding flash. The flash died down and the GoM Kagami and Kuroko as well as Seiren had all vanished.
Kuroko opened his eyes blinking blearily as color spots appeared in his vision from the sudden light. They were in a small living room area with a giant TV mounted on the wall and couches, chairs, bean bag chairs, etc... all settled around it.
He looked around and noticed the others were there too looking around with equally confused looks. It was probably the first time Kuroko had seen such a look of utter confusion on Akashi's face.
Riko noticed a small white paper and read aloud.
Dear GoM and Seirin,
Welcome, The winter cup has just ended and you are all on your way to becoming friends again however I think you all need a little reminder just to be sure you won't revert back any time soon.
To do this I have brought you here to watch Kuroko's Journey up to this point as he tries to make you see and appreciate his style of basketball.
~A friend
P.S. The kitchen is fully stocked to never run out of food and there are rooms for each of you to sleep in. Don't worry about the time passing outside of this room once your done I'll place you back where I took you from.
They all stared at each other
There was a loud crunch and all their eyes went to Murasakibara already in a seat munching on chips a pile of snacks in his hand.
"We get to watch Kurokocchi!" Kise bounced happily on the balls of his feet before also taking a seat. Midorima sighed trying not to look at all interested.
"I guess we don't have a choice" He said sitting down. Everyone else sat down as well.
The T.V. clicked on by itself
