Doesn't really follow the anime timeline. This is just going to be a random series with random things happening at random times. Sorry if that sounds a little insincere. But I will try my absolute best writing this!
Chapter 1
You were a first year at Seirin High School and you just so happened to get along rather well with the practically invisible boy in your class who goes by the name of Kuroko Testuya. He had a rather unexpressive face and his voice was almost always a monotonous drone but for some reason you almost instantly warmed up to him. It amused you how passive yet eccentric this deadpan faced boy was. So much so that you even helped him with the graffiti which was a part of his initiation into the basketball club.
Once he got in, you often dropped by the court to check on the team. It was on one such visit that you encountered him - the first of the two men who would soon lead you into a downward spiral of trouble- Kise Ryouta.
Your first impression of him- apart from the almost blinding ball of sunshine that was his hair- was that he was whiny. And if the way he practically latched onto Kuroko, demanding his attention was any indication, he was almost irritatingly clingy. He went on and on and one, drawling out the shorter boy's name, with a weird suffix, "Kuroko-chhi! Don't ignore me!"
You almost jolt as Riko materialises behind you, "Save him, _."
"Why don't you save him?" you responded almost immediately.
Her eyes narrowed and the aura about her darkened, "Now now, is that any way to talk to your senior?"
You only gulp, not responding.
"HUSTLE."
"Yes, ma'am!" you exclaim before taking off in their direction, sighing exasperatedly. The blond doesn't seem at all fazed by your arrival at the scene. In fact, he only had eyes for the blue haired male he was clinging onto...which in a way was mildly creepy.
You clear your throat and throw a ridiculously sweet smile at the both of them, "Kuroko-kun. Did you forget you're on duty today? Riko-senpai won't forgive you if you skip polishing the balls." Really? Polishing the balls? Was that the best you could come up with?
Kuroko stared at you with a blank expression, "Ah, I forgot." He peels himself free from the blond and walks past you and to the far side of the court. It would have offended you- his offhand ignoring of you- But by now you were used to his ways.
"AH! Wait, Kuroko-chhi! I'll help you!" quipped the blond.
You reach forwards, taking a hold of his sleeve, pulling him to a stop, "It's a Seirin tradition to leave it to the juniors. I don't think the Kaijo ace ought to concern himself with it."
"What?" He pouts, "That a stupid good luck charm or something?"
You suppose he thinks that he looks cute when he pouts... Well he kind of does, but you continue with an unimpressed look on your face, "Maybe... I don't want you jinxing our team."
"Hmph..." the pout deepens, "You are SUCH a stick in the mud."
"So what if I am?" you snap. Blondie was now treading on thin ground.
He seems taken aback but the pout falls from his face only to be replaced by a smug sort of grin, "If you're no fun you might end up getting dumped!~"
You scoff at that, "Ask your precious Kuroko-cchu. I'm pretty sure he'd pick me over you any day, ." If there was such a thing as a baseless assumption, this was it. But you raised an eyebrow at him like you meant business.
"Kuroko-chhi," he corrects in a low voice.
"Whatever."
The both of you continue to stare one another down, his lips once more forming a pout, "Hey hey! Kuroko-chhi. If me and this weird woman invited you to shop this Saturday, who'd you pick?" called out Kise to the shadow who was diligently wiping away at the basketballs.
"Neither. I have laundry to do."
"Ouch." Both you and Kise exclaim in unison, laughter in your voices.
The both of you pause in surprise and meet gazes, eyebrows raised and mirroring one another's astonishment. Kise was the first to recover, "Now that I look closely, you might be slightly cute." He says, his face lighting up in a smile.
You gulp, realising that he was popular for a reason, "Leave the seduction for your fan girls, model boy."
"Haaah, did it surprise you when your heart stirred right now?"
"It did not!" you exclaim in feigned disgust.
"Tsun-tsun!~" he whispered lightly before turning on his heel, "Guess I'll head off for today."
"I am NOT!" you yell after him.
He briefly turns back, "I'll be back!~" he says, flashing a million dollar smile, not really at you, but your heart stirred a little nonetheless. Damn them pretty boys.
You return to where Kuroko is with a sigh.
The blue haired boy briefly looks at you, "You are tsun-tsun," he mutters matter-of-factly before turning his attention back the polishing."
"Kuroko-kun!" you exclaim at the accusation, smiling a bit as you see the faint amusement in his eyes, "Since it's you, I'll let it slide."
"Kise-kun doesn't normally bicker with perfect strangers."
"Oh?"
"Yeah."
"And you're telling me this, why?"
"I just felt like I should... for some reason."
You raised your eyebrow at him but it didn't seem like he would speak any further so you let it slide, deciding to help with the polishing for now.
A/N: That was that *nervous laughter* Please tell me what you think. Constructive criticism and random rants welcome!~ ^0^
