Longer Summary: Kuroko has to confront the miracles about what they did to him on his birthday. Events here take place that day after Jan 31st and Kuroko has so much to do. The first thing he realizes is that he has go out and meet with the miracles individually to ask them why. With the exception of Midorima and Murasakibara, Kuroko had intercourse with each of the miracles. And he doesn't know what that means. The Kuroko Tetsuya of today acts different and has different desires than the birthday boy of yesterday. When this short adventure is over, Tetsuya will have one thing known: the guy to pick to make him happy for a very long time.
Part 1: Kuroko Has to Leave
Every day, someone in this world woke while dreaming. And getting out of bed to move around, they felt like a floating ghost. Not even sure if they were still alive.
The phantom sixth miracle had been laying in Kagami's bed, alone, with his eyes wide open for about 10 minutes after waking. He watched the ceiling and wondered if it would somehow tell him what had been real in the last 24 hours. And after he knew that, how would he know whether those memories were of luck… or misfortune?
Now he directed his attention to the empty bed space to his left. The area was cold when he gripped the sheets there and lacked Kagami's recent presence. And because of his trouble making sense of everything up to this point… Tetsuya just wondered if he was naked, sore, and well rested for all the reasons that he believed were true.
He threw away the covering sheet and comforter that hid his lithe body, and got up half way. He tried to search for evidence confirming sexual activity, and he found it. From what he understood and thought he knew, the stuff on his thighs and flat stomach indicated that he had sex last night. But what about those other times...
After standing, the action had a brand new feel. He decided to take his time as walking felt different too, but Kuroko also picked up on a good amount of cum running down his thighs. But he decided to not look down at himself to see it.
Apprehension was forming inside him. Eating hollow his insides.
Kagami-kun wasn't in the enormous bathroom either, Kuroko noticed. But it had been used. As Kuroko got inside the shower - and ignored the Jacuzzi tub on the opposite side of the wall – the wet glass door, shower floor, and 2 walls had to be Kagami-kun's doing as well. It was small… but Kuroko had some anxiety that he was invading Kagami's space. So he showered in unnecessary hurry.
Only after he was half through toweling dry, recently finished washing, did he realize that this was probably the towel Kagami-kun used as well. But because Kuroko needed to complete his routine after waking, he kept using the red head's things. Rushing through it all. And he left the bathroom looking more chaotic than he had meant to. It was just that… Kuroko was almost shaking when he left Kagami's room, only wearing a shirt too big for him.
For the phantom sixth, today already proved unreal.
On a good note, the living room had much more life than Kagami's bedroom. The television was on and just loud enough to be heard in the living room and kitchen space. But Kagami-kun's voice was easily distinguished as he yelled super loud at Nigou, who was hopping around with the remote in his mouth. Just to reiterate the fact that Kagami's apartment was huge, Kuroko had not heard a word of these two until he was more than midway down the hall.
Poor Kagami, who was no match for a puppy with 4 tiny legs and canines, thought Kuroko.
"Nigou! Give that back!" he would have to try very hard not to hurt this dog when he caught him. If he caught him. And of course if Nigou didn't scare the fuck out of him before he could get his hands on him.
Kuroko's little dog was one of the few among the living that could easily sense him. So after a short while of standing at the entrance from the hall, Kuroko had Nigou who jumped in his arms. And Kagami's precious remote crashed to the floor as Nigou was more concerned with greeting his human twin excitedly, having missed him terribly last night at Kuroko's empty house.
"Domo." The bluenette greeted his friend who was out of breath, sweating, and a mess.
"Morning…" he said with his gaze averted, not able to stand the sight of Nigou all over Kuroko after the little canine gave him hell this entire morning. Now he was cozying up, to Kuroko no less.
Kuroko was hugging Nigou back when he asked Kagami a question.
"You let Nigou come over Kagami-kun?" It was really too much to assume Kagami just carried Nigou to his house and even played with him while Kuroko had been unconscious (yes, Kuroko thought Kagami chasing Nigou just now was playing).
"Yeah. I knew you would want to see him after you got up." he told the sixth miracle after checking him out. Kagami liked how one of his baggy shirts came down on Kuroko mid-thigh, probably because the teen had much smaller, less broad shoulders. And as he was bent over, hands on his knees after catching his breath, the ace was controlling his impulse to look for signs of underwear.
Which was him failing. Because he was definitely looking under the shirt, not able to see a damn thing.
What Kagami didn't tell Kuroko was that Nigou was waiting by the door as soon as it opened. The puppy barked until Kagami poked his head in, trying not to glare or look terrified. While Kagami looked everywhere for Nigou's food, the pup trotted right at his feet. Kagami's heart speeding up each time they made eye contact. After making sure Nigou ate some of what Kagami put in his bowl, he was about to leave in success, feeling like he owned Nigou by not letting the dog scare him too much. But that was until Nigou barked then clung to his pants with its paws. Kagami shouted. Even though all Nigou did was hang on him and stare in loneliness. Kagami didn't always comprehend the obvious, though Nigou had the eyes of a human. So he could easily say what he wanted. And Kagami had unresolved issues with Nigou, but at the end of the day Nigou was someone he couldn't just leave behind...he was synonymous enough with a certain bluenette that Kagami couldn't push him off and away. There was no way in hell he would have left behind Kuroko if he had been the one doing this.
So that resulted in Kagami and Tetsuya Number 2 coming back together. They were working on their relationship, they were keeping each other company, both really wanting to see Kuroko, so in the meantime they were all each other had. Nigou had been getting on Kagami's LAST nerve. Even as the red head let him do what he wanted while maintaining a healthy distance.
But Nigou wouldn't mind his own business!
"Was he naughty?" Kuroko asked after reaching down to get Kagami's remote.
"No." This is what everyone told a parent who had a bad child and were feeling a bit guilty for having others watch over them. "But I think he knew you were here, even when I went to your house earlier. He was trying to be good till I let him see you."
Kuroko nodded, observing as Kagami's tall form walked away from him.
"Thanks for being considerate." Tetsuya did think briefly about Nigou after he woke up. Even as Kuroko's thoughts were full of disorder. And every idea he had entropy driven.
Kagami shrugged and was quiet for a minute. Kuroko thought to aimlessly wander around the living room, but Kagami stopped him by forcefully sitting Kuroko on the couch.
"I made food, Kuroko. Want some?"
"Yes." Only because he was trying to respond positively to Kagami's kindness. Kuroko had no appetite at the moment.
"Just relax right here and I'll bring it out to you." Kagami just stood in front of his best friend and the puppy for a couple seconds. Again, he enjoyed the view. Kuroko had damp locks that were fresh and un-styled, which overall made Kuroko look fucking "sweet" while he was just cradling his pup with both arms. Kagami didn't forget that Kuroko had on his shirt either.
Kagami made his way over to the kitchen, brain unusually contemplating deeply.
But Tetsuya held Nigou even tighter when Kagami turned his back. For Kuroko, something was terribly out of place.
The TV was just background noise, not even acknowledged, so it might as well have been silent. Neither of them would miss the crap on TV.
"Hey." Kagami called when he brought over some heated rice and sides. They were small enough helpings because he knew Kuroko ate like a mouse on a diet. Kagami didn't have anything for himself.
And Kuroko wondered how he would eat because Nigou didn't budge from his comfortable arms.
"Beat it." Kagami made a serious effort to intimidate Nigou. For selfish purposes as well because it wasn't fair Nigou got lay all over Kuroko as he pleased. Damn him.
After a while, Kuroko just put his dog down on the floor, Nigou too small to just jump up on Kagami's couch. And when Kuroko was starting to take bites out of the delicious meal, he was right next to Kagami, who finally relaxed now that it wasn't just him and Number 2.
Kagami, currently and secretly looked down at Kuroko's naked thighs, very happy to remember last night, when he was nestled right between them in absolute delight.
"Hey," Kagami started again. Kuroko quick to give his undivided attention.
Kagami wasn't exactly sure of the best way to break it to his best friend, and recent lover. But for Kagami Taiga, who didn't just let big – or small – things go, what he needed to say had to come out. No matter how terrible the delivery.
"When I was fucking you last night..." The star player completely serious as he said this. "I forgot the condom."
Kuroko had been cool most of the morning. Kagami wondered why. Didn't he notice the thin river of semen flowing down his pale thighs earlier?
For whatever reason, Kuroko didn't bring it up or seem upset. And it was killing Kagami to know how Kuroko felt about it.
But for starters, Kuroko was not wearing the unmistakable expression of horror, or fury at the revelation. Curiosity came to life on his well-rested features.
And this expression Kagami could read. He still ended up freaked by it because he didn't know what to expect.
"Kuroko..." he was in the midst of finding what to say next. No words were discovered, so there was a decent amount of silence before Kuroko let himself respond.
"That was reckless of us."
Kagami sighed. Kuroko's words didn't sound too bad. He knew that Kuroko was capable of anger and everything so Kagami took a moment to be grateful of the way Kuroko just responded.
"Who were you with before me Kagami-kun?" But now he was back to feeling doomed.
"In America or Japan?"
How could either exactly know why? Kuroko hid it well, while Kagami showed discomfort at being asked to reveal information like this.
"You've done it since you've been here?" Kuroko asked softly, envy and sorrow pulling back and forth in his heart. Kuroko couldn't think of a time that he and Kagami didn't know each other since the red head got to Japan.
Kuroko sat down the home cooked meal, not even having the courage to nibble on it might it settle in his stomach and form dread like the rest had.
"When I first came," Kagami was about to tell Kuroko everything. No way would he be dishonest about something like this, especially if he didn't have to be. If he asked Kuroko who he slept with, Kagami would be betrayed if Kuroko said anything that wasn't true. "I was fucking lonely. And it was in the summer, before school started and I met all of you guys." He was talking about Seirin basketball club. "A few girls were staying here just for the summer because they were subleasing in this building. When they tried to talk to me, I didn't care what they were after, especially if they just wanted sex. I didn't care about them Kuroko. Whenever I hung out with any of them it was for sex."
Kuroko didn't do anything but look at him. His expression was not guarded either, like usual.
"And I never forgot the condom." Kagami added after recognizing the sentiments that Kuroko were conveying.
No, no Kuroko did not ask Kagami to explain anything. But yes, Kuroko wanted for him to. Kagami shouldn't hide anything from him.
But Kuroko stopped looking at Kagami once the unnamed miracle finished explaining. He didn't have any plan of responding.
So Kagami kept talking.
"You made me forget…"
"What?" Kuroko didn't like what he heard.
"You... you should've seen how you LOOKED," Because Kuroko had appeared unearthly and exotic in the throes of passion "... Goddammit Kuroko. How could I think?
"I'm sorry..."
"Don't say that."
Kagami let the urge to touch Kuroko's skin overcome him. A hand massaged the back of Kuroko's skull. His other began feeling on Kuroko's bare thigh.
"I didn't mean to-"
Kagami made him shut up. No telling how many kisses they shared the other night. Not yet had they tried to devour each other like this. But it was mostly one sided, the devouring part that is. Kuroko's timid return of the kiss could not ethically be compared to how Kagami was trying to eat him alive.
Even when Kagami-kun gave him small breaks by kissing him on the cheek and corner of his lips, Kuroko hardly breathed in fresh air - on the account of him failing to hold back tiny moans too - before his best friend was kissing him erotically again.
Kuroko began to grip Kagami's shoulders and stroke his chest, getting turned on by their intense make out.
As soon as Kagami tried to spread his legs and pull off the shirt, Kuroko started resisting.
"No…"
"Are you mad?" Kagami questioned. He pulled away and stopped immediately after hearing Kuroko refuse him.
"No." The phantom sixth repeated.
"I swear, Kuroko. I won't try anything again." he honestly wasn't trying to get Kuroko to just let him fuck. He cared about what his friend wanted too.
But Kagami was still saying the wrong things.
Tetsuya didn't know why it all sounded so terrible to him or why he didn't want it. Last night didn't he and Kagami start off the same way? Just kissing before they moved on to sex... was Tetsuya remembering things correctly?
The blue haired player abruptly got on his feet.
"Where are my clothes?" He asked as if a normal question.
But this made Kagami jump off the couch as well.
"You're trying to leave?"
"It's getting late..." It wasn't past noon.
"You're mad."
"No I'm not, Kagami-kun."
"Bullshit." he said then tried to grab Kuroko again.
"No it's not…" Kuroko pulled away, and walked away. Kagami followed him. And Number 2 was in line with them, skipping right on the heels of Kagami's feet.
Kuroko was walking faster than he usually did. But he wasn't athletic enough to get too far ahead of Kagami. The trio were heading in the direction of the bedroom.
When they made it inside, Kuroko was resisting Kagami repeatedly while his teammate kept trying to put arms around him.
"I'm not mad at you.."
"Then what's up with 'It's getting late.' Tell me why you suddenly want to leave if you're not mad."
"I can't stay at your house all day."
"Do what you want here. It doesn't matter if you want to be here all day. I'm cool with it."
"No, Kagami-kun." Was what Tetsuya pleaded when Kagami tried to hold him again.
Kagami would never force Kuroko into anything. But all voices in his head were telling him to continuously reach out to give Kuroko a lover's embrace.
"You're acting pissed off."
"But I'm not." Kuroko turned his back to Kagami after he said that. He wasn't upset at Kagami just as he was trying to say. The red head's endless advances were becoming a bit much though.
Kagami used his strength to embrace Kuroko from behind. Seirin's 10 remained calm, as if he wasn't "fighting" with Kuroko. Tetsuya stood straight, very uneasy in his mind, but feeling content in his body. The contrasting moods leaving him unable to respond. And Nigou was sitting at their feet.
"I might not be some genius. Maybe I don't know about love or romance, but I do what I think is right and feels natural. You're telling the truth... you're not mad," Kagami sensed how relaxed Kuroko was in his arms and didn't try to twist out or pull away. "But you're thinking about something. Just tell me."
"I don't know." Not even he understood his stream of conscious.
"Then just stay here, sit down, and figure it out. You can leave after you talk to me, Kuroko."
"I'm leaving now."
"No."
"I am."
"No the fuck you're not." Yeah, he said it that way because he was frustrated, feeling more useless than angry.
"Stop telling me what to do," Kuroko sounded like he would perhaps cry, his first emotionally charged response since leaving out of the living room. There were no tears in his eyes, but he looked sad.
Kagami listened this time, retrieving Kuroko's washed and dried outfit and underwear from yesterday out of his top drawer. The shirt and pants remained in Kagami's hands after Kuroko only took the underwear. Those were slipped on under the shirt without Kagami able to see anything.
The ace didn't turn around when Kuroko was in boxers alone. Yet Kagami didn't watch him getting dressed either.
Kuroko finished after easily slipping on skinny jeans.
"Nigou," Kuroko called right after, not missing a beat.
Kagami couldn't reasonably control his temper.
"Kuroko, this isn't fair."
"I promise I'm not mad.'
"Fine! But now I feel like I fucked up or something."
"This isn't your fault." Kuroko hadn't lied to Kagami once. From what he still managed to understand, he had no ill feelings towards Kagami.
Kagami was looking dumped by his best friend for a minute, and then he tried to say something again.
"Come back here tonight." If Kuroko said no, Kagami would not let him leave this place. Forget whatever morals he had for himself.
Kuroko was picking up Nigou and getting his phone off Kagami's dresser before he looked calmly at his light partner.
"I'll come back." Tetsuya took no time to think about it. He was truthfully not mad at Kagami and would come back to his place later. That wasn't hard. That wasn't out of question.
"I'll call you tonight okay? I'll come get you from wherever you are so we can walk back here together. Call me if you think you can't come." In the later scenario, Kagami would just go out and find Kuroko and drag his little ass back here. Again, forget morals.
"Call me when you want Kagami-kun."
"You promise I can?"
"Promise." Then Kuroko was leaving the bedroom. Kagami was following him almost like he was love sick.
As Kuroko was putting on his shoes, Kagami almost wanted to ask for a hug and kiss goodbye. But not really goodbye. Nothing would stop them from meeting up again later. Kagami would destroy whatever in this universe that tried to keep them apart.
When Kuroko stood in his shoes, Kagami had become spontaneous again. But this action was significant for any of his lingering doubts.
He backed Kuroko into a wall and smashed their mouths together. Kagami tried doing all he could and had learned in French kissing technique. But what he really just wanted was for Kuroko to like this kiss enough to not shove him away.
But he was discovering just how sweet he thought Kuroko was. The phantom sixth held his puppy tightly to his chest, but otherwise tongue danced with Kagami by the front door.
So because he got what he wanted and was trying not to overdo it, the unnamed miracle released Kuroko with a smack of the lips.
"I'm coming back." The bluenette thought his best friend was still trying to make him stay. He didn't seem to understand that Kuroko really needed to get fresh air and explore, and at the moment... Tetsuya could have never understood the magnitude of what he needed to accomplish by the end of today.
How could life plan so much struggle for a person in one day?
Even after opening the door, Kagami found it difficult to let go. He was standing in the door way, leaving just enough room for Kuroko to come back inside.
Not able to walk away as easily as he was making it seem, Kuroko went back to Kagami's arms, just to give him a peck on the lips. Another genuine kiss that Kuroko gave the red haired ace before leaving.
Kagami tried to turn the kiss into something more X rated. Kuroko didn't let him.
"Answer my call later."
"I will."
They were seriously acting as if they would never see each other again. They were meeting back up later tonight. The first year duo were longingly watching the other, Kagami with his door wide open, Kuroko with his head turned over his shoulder.
Literally, the hardest thing was for Kuroko to do was not return to Kagami's arms by the time he left the building.
He had his phone, so Kagami could call him whenever just like he promised. And it was even better that Kagami-kun didn't care about Nigou coming over, so Kuroko could bring back his beloved dog twin too.
The chill passing through Kuroko only had a bit to do with the fact that his coat was still at Kagami's place, somehow forgotten. He was further down the road, not even aware that he and Nigou were beginning to freeze because Kuroko also didn't have the bag to carry the puppy in.
With fresh air, just like Kuroko wanted, the day's hardship became transparent to him. It was when his thought's contents were crystal clear that Tetsuya's fear settled in.
He didn't have retrograde amnesia. All memories of about 24 hours past struck him from every side like the cold wind. And Tetsuya remembered that he really gave himself so many times the other day. That 6... 6 guys knew was it was like to turn him inside out. And 4 out of those six had actually went inside him as he was vulnerable and wide open. Had he really let himself have so much sex and intercourse in just a single day?
What... who... why had he been that way?
Now Kuroko's cell was ringing. And before he answered it he checked the time and caller ID.
"Aomine-kun." He answered.
"You busy, Tetsu?"
"No." Kuroko knew he needed to come out today, but that didn't mean there was some ultimate destination in his mind that signaled a completion of his journey. Or even where he needed to go to get started on it.
But what if it began with Aomine?
Kuroko's skin and lips were chapping quickly. Shaking too.
"You want to come over real quick?"
"Why?" Each question Tetsuya asked today would be purposeful.
"I ended up buying you something the other day. Come get it."
"Okay." Kuroko agreed intuitively.
Leaving Kagami's place and breathing new air really did what Kuroko wanted it to. Everything was straight forward. One major goal clear.
Each of the miracles needed to be confronted about yesterday.
And each of them needed to say why.
-Part 1-
To be Continued.
AN:
Thanks for reading this first part, and I hoped it was enjoyable! One day, ideas for where this should go was plaguing me, and nothing got better until I started writing. So heads up, the length of this story will be between 3 – 5 Parts. If all goes well I can do it in 3 (which is where I'm currently at with pacing), but if things end up being more complicated, I absolutely will set the end at 4 or 5 Parts. And this shouldn't take too long to write. Under extreme circumstances (meaning after I post part 2), the story title may change and tags added (but not removed; Ao3), so glad I have that privilege.
I wish I can let you know where each of these parts are going, sort of like the last story. I may be able to do that after posting part 2. The entire Part 2 will not just be Aomine and Kuroko, trust me. And also I realized that because this story doesn't have too many plot points integrated in it, and all of the minor conflicts are not too difficult, this story won't be terribly hard to crank out. I am really going to have fun writing this.
It'll be awesome to know if when you read this you thought it made sense, or at least liked it! And for anyone who doesn't know, Kuroko is my honey. All the bad that happens to him will be balance with an equal amount of good. I can't do anything terrible to him without making it up so… be aware!
