"Damnit, Kise! This isn't funny anymore!"

Aomine didn't know what hit him when it did. He didn't know he could have a taste of his own egotistical nature until THAT incident happened.

It had been about a year or so since the game at the Interhigh, after all the drama Aomine and Kise went through. After Kaijo's loss and Kise's injured leg, Aomine found himself guilty of hurting the blonde both inside and out, and he apologized, confessing his feelings toward Kise right after. Kise offered a response that anyone could ever ask for. His eyes had filled to the brim with tears, and as he whispered out a yes, they managed to get together right away.

Lately, though, they had been arguing tirelessly. Aomine's attitude of self-centered arrogance and his boastings began to feel like too much for his partner. Kise felt that he had to do something about it, and he devised a mischievous plan that he hoped would throw the ace into at least a little bit of remorse for his selfish thoughts and actions.

One day after school, the two had planned to go on a date. Aomine lagged around after school, sluggishly taking his time like he did any other day he had a date with Kise. It's only Kise. He'll get mad but forgive me right after THAT anyway, he thought to himself and chuckled. He slowly proceeded in making his way to the gate, where the blonde was usually fuming with his trademark pouting face as he nagged at Aomine for always being so slow. He was surprised, almost shocked, to see that his boyfriend wasn't there at all. Panicking more than he wanted to, Aomine looked around quickly.

Where did that idiot go? Is he hiding from me? What if he got hit by a car on his way here? What if he got kidnapped by a fangirl? What if he transferred out of Japan?!

His reasons for Kise not being where he was as usual began to get more and more irrational. About ten minutes of searching around the school, the Touou power forward began frantically running elsewhere and trying to find Kise. He checked his home, Kise's home, and the stores around the areas. Finally he decided to search through Kaijou. What he saw made him gape in utter shock.

There was Kise, leaning over two squealing girls with HUGE breasts, his arm leaning against the wall above them and his eyes giving off the seductive feel that Aomine thought only HE himself was able to squeeze out of him. Aomine quickly hid behind a column as he incredulously watched Kise slipp his fingers through one of the girls' blonde hair. She giggled somewhat like a piglet. Aomine's eyes narrowed, and Kise caught his eye. Kise waved at the girls before giving them a kiss on each of their hands.

Kise lazily made his way over to Aomine, taking his time and yawning as though he was already bored with the date they were supposed to have half an hour ago.

"What the hell is up with you?" Aomine growled, trying to hold himself back from grabbing the blond. Kise didn't respond; he simply looked at the pigeons picking at the empty bag of chips in the vacant yard.

"Answer me!"

"Ehhh," Kise shrugged sluggishly, and he finally looked into Aomine's eyes. His bored eyes practically drilled into navy blue eyes. "Whatever do you mean, Aomine?"

Taken aback by such a bored response and the fact that Kise didn't even use the suffic –cchi after his name, Aomine's eyebrows almost shot up off his forehead. He grabbed his boyfriend by the shoulders.

"What happened?"

"I don't know. I'm the same as I've always been." Kise flashed a smirk that seemed so familiar, and yet the ace couldn't figure out who the small forward reminded him of.

"Why weren't you waiting at my school on time?"

Kise dug his pinky finger into his ear to show that he wasn't really up for what was coming in their conversation.

"Ehhhh, I didn't really feel like going. I saw some sexy girls with big breasts, and WOW. They were hot." The smirk stayed plastered on his face, and Aomine held back the urge to shove his boyfriend against the wall.

"WHAT THE HELL, KISE?"

"Hehhh, dunno. I just felt like playing with them. I'm thinking I'll be hanging out with them every other day from now on."

Without another word, Aomine stormed away, angrily kicking a trashcan and hurting his foot in the process. He turned uncoolly to glance at Kise's reaction, but upon seeing the smug look and eyebrows raised, he quickly ran away.

After he watched his boyfriend leave, the smug expression left the blonde's face immediately. With a tear threatening to drip from his eye, Kise leaned against the wall in exhaustion. He couldn't believe he just copied a personality—he always thought it was just basketball skills he could copy. Turns out Kise had much more talent than he had presumed. Still, the fact that he had to copy his lover's personality to teach him a lesson—that stayed as a burden in his mind. Knowing it was hurting Aomine hurt him, and Kise didn't want to hurt him.

"Aominecchi.." Kise whispered as the tear rolled down his cheek.

He hoped that he wouldn't have to keep up this act much longer.
