Author's Note: Time for my another OTP, KiKuro! I have wanted to write a fic for these two for a while now. Even though I should focus on my other stories which still are in progress, I couldn't help myself, Kuroko no Basuke is such a life-ruiner xD Especially with so many pairings I ship! KisexKuroko is my favorite one so I'm starting with them.
Amber Gold Versus Baby Blue is supposed to be a series of short fluffy fics loosely connected with one another or not connected at all. I prefer the canon universe but don't mind AUs so it's probable that some will appear on the way. The ratings will be changing so I'm settling the T rate in general (not planning on posting anything M-rated for this couple just yet). Some other pairings may be mentioned but the main one is KiKuro and on them I will focus.
I do not own any of the KnB characters nor the cover photo ;3
Chapter One: This One Exceptional Time
Rating: K+
Warnings: BL, fluff and Kise being a drama queen xD
Summary to Ch1: After not seeing Kuroko for a week Kise is being even more clingy and hungry for his boyfriend's affection than usually. However, it seems that something has happened during the time they spent apart...
Sometimes Kise still cannot believe that Kuroko agreed to go out with him that one day which has started their relationship… It just seems too unreal to him, like the most beautiful dream he has ever had.
Since he met Kurokocchi, it has been obvious that what he feels towards the blue-haired boy isn't as simple as friendship between two people. Ryouta has always been excessively cheerful and hyperactive and entirely devoted to his friends but when it comes to Kuroko Tetsuya, it's not only about being kind or polite anymore.
When Kise sees the smaller teen, his face immediately brightens up in his most beautiful smile. His amber gold eyes start sparkling in happiness and he jumps with open arms to him and takes him into the huge embrace, almost choking Kuroko. The fact that he usually gets a spanking for that afterwards loses its importance in the face of these few precious seconds when he holds his dear Kurokocchi so close to himself that he feels the other's heartbeat through the jersey of his uniform and his own clothes.
"Kurokocchi~!" He chants happily, letting the other retreat and catch breath. It doesn't matter that he gets pinched in his cheeks the second after he releases the smaller boy. "So mean!" He manages to exclaim before he sees what he always hopes to see after this peculiar ritual — a small smile finds its way to Kuroko's lips and his face softens a little.
"Good afternoon, Kise-kun," he mutters in his usual monotone but that's enough to make Kise's heart swell because he finally gets noticed instead of being ignored as it used to happen in the past.
"I've missed Kurokocchi so much!" The blonde chatters and tries to hug the blue-haired boy again but Kuroko uses his misdirection trick and slips out of Kise's reach gracefully.
"We're still in public, Kise-kun," he answers the unasked question of Kaijou's ace, keeping the poker face and cool tone.
"But we haven't seen each other in a week!" Kise whines, his eyes quickly fill up with involuntary tears.
"You're so loud, Kise-kun," Kuroko sighs and rolls his eyes but Ryouta's overreaction seems to work because the blue-haired teen leans closer to him and lets their shoulders touch as they walk down the street. Whenever Kise is free in the afternoon after lessons and training, he comes to Seirin High School's building and waits for Kuroko to go home together. Usually they stop by Maji Burger fast-food restaurant on their way because they serve there Tetsuya's favorite vanilla shakes. Coming there cannot really be described as a date but Kise likes to think that it actually is one and always takes the most of the time spent with Kurokocchi. He loves observing his boyfriend when he slowly sips the sweet drink and contemplating every single movement he does, as if he wanted to imprint the image in his memory forever. The blonde's thoughts wander in a nice daydream full of his Kurokocchi until he gets pinched again, this time on his nose.
"Ouch!" He complains, "What was that for...?" He grabs his aching nose, blinking away the sudden tears.
"Staring is rude, Kise-kun," Kuroko murmurs quietly and comes back to his milkshake.
Ryouta pouts and looks in another direction but his trials are in vain — his eyes always come back to his small companion, no matter how hard he tries to resist the temptation.
"Kurokocchi is so mean..." He whines again, leaning his face against his palm.
"... So impatient..." Tetsuya sighs heavily and throws away the empty cup. "Stop this pouting," he suddenly says, "A model shouldn't make such an unattractive face..." That's a lie of course, he finds Kise Ryouta beautiful even when he grimaces but the blonde doesn't have to know that. "Let's go home now," he smiles lightly at his boyfriend and takes his hand as they exit the diner. He cannot help that he feels happy when Ryouta brightens up immediately like now. He can almost see the puppy ears raise up on his head and the fluffy tail wave behind his back when he looks at the blonde model beside him. Suddenly, though, he quirks a brow when he notices that Kise's grin turns into a smirk. Kise strengthens the shake of their hands as if making sure that the other won't slip away anymore and murmurs in his melodic voice that they still are in public. He sounds triumphant. Kuroko fights back the urge to raise his sight up to the sky. Just how dense can you be sometimes?, he wants to ask but keeps his mouth shut. Kise doesn't need to know how much Kuroko cherishes those simple signs of affection.
He lets Kise think that he is the one to win this battle as they continue walking the alley and holding their hands.
The blonde is babbling cheerfully about the past few days they didn't see each other and Kuroko drowns in his own thoughts while listening to Ryouta's monologue. He gets to know about the math test Kise has recently had and how tough it was, about the hard training and getting kicked by Kasamatsu yet another time because he arrived a few minutes too late to the gym for the training after the meeting with his fangirls…
But suddenly the blabbering stops.
Kuroko frowns and slowly turns his head to the blonde just to see him blushing heavily and looking at his feet. "What is it, Kise-kun?" He asks, stopping his steps and facing his boyfriend with full attention this time.
"I-I'm so sorry, Kurokocchi," the blonde whispers, trembling lightly and flushing to ears. "During this meeting… one of the girls…—" he gulps, turning his head to the side, "…s-she, she pecked my cheek!" He finally blurts out, biting hard on his bottom lip to surpass a whine. He feels so guilty for what has been done. For cheating on Kurokocchi like that! What if…? What if Kurokocchi hates him now? Ah, these thoughts are killing him!
Kise feels the delicate touch on his face and slowly looks at the blue-haired boy by his side with his amber gold eyes, now all teary. Seeing the blank face of Kuroko and his unreadable baby blue orbs he can only expects the worst.
This is over, Kurokocchi will break up with him in any moment, it's done—
"Where did this girl kiss you, Kise-kun?" Kuroko asks in monotone, trying not to smile at the serious worry in Ryouta's eyes. The blonde shows him the place on his left cheek with despair written all over his face. "Close your eyes, Kise-kun," the smaller teen commands and the blonde obliges, trying to keep the already formed tears under his eyelids.
But suddenly he feels the ghost touch of Tetsuya's lips on his cheek and opens his eyes at once in shock and disbelief. "Kurokocchi…" he mumbles and squirms when he sees the honest smile on Kuroko's face. "You aren't breaking up with me…?" He asks in a trembling voice, so overwhelmed with thousands of emotions now.
"What a dummy you are, Ryouta" Kuroko shakes his head and wipes off the sole tear which came out of the blonde's eye. "Besides, — he continues, — this place is already claimed by me which means that—"
He doesn't have a chance to finish the sentence because Kise suddenly jumps onto him, shedding tears of absolute happiness and almost crushing him in his arms in a bear hug. "Kurokocchi, you're the best~!" He exclaims loudly, not caring that other people can see and hear, "I love you so so much!"
And this one exceptional time Tetsuya allows him that, smiling lightly into the blonde's shirt because it just feels too good to be embraced like that.
I love you too, he thinks when the other finally lets him go and Kuroko knows that Kise will understand even though he never voices these words out.
Second Note: I truly love this couple *^* They're so adorable together! Did you like it? Did you not...? Reviews are always welcome and appreciated ;3
I don't know when something new appears... Everything depends on my inspiration and the amounts of free time (and those are so very little!) I guess, I have to ask for your patience ;)
