"Aomine-kun, you're skipping training again?"

Akashi stared at the scene on the rooftop of the school. It was supposed to be a forbidden place for students to hang out, but he knew how the tanned boy loved to spend his time here. In front of him, Kuroko was leaning his face a bit too close to the other. The smaller boy seemed the least bit concerned but Aomine was facing a huge damaged on his side. Not only that Kuroko had suddenly appeared in front of him, the smaller boy was now on top of him, just a mere millimeters away.

Tetsu...

Just a little bit more...closer...

Shut it! Damn it!

Strangely enough, Akashi could have swore he heard Aomine's little monologue to himself.

It was another day for training, but it seemed that Aomine had dared to skipped his training again and Akashi didn't really appreciate that. He knew, the tanned boy was the most promising among the others. He aced the others in just a few months after he made it to the first string. However, because of being too great at the game, the boy had lost his interest to play or even to train anymore as he could never find anyone that could catch up with him.

"Aomine-kun?"

And, as much as the tanned boy could be as arrogant as ever, Akashi knew better of the crush the latter had on Kuroko. Aomine had his soft spot for the phantom member of the group. So, with his own interest, he sent Kuroko to fetch the latter.

"Are you okay?"

Kuroko leaned closer, touching the latter's forehead with his own. Aomine could feel the warm breath on his face. He didn't even realized it when he had unconsciously held his breath. His brain stopped working as he stared into the baby blue eyes. It was now that he was pretty much grateful for the tanned skin he had, if he was not, he didn't even know how much darker his blush could go.

Kuroko was the first one to move away after the long silence. No words had come out from Aomine, not like how he will usually played along with him. "Your forehead does feel hot." Kuroko then put his hand on Aomine's forehand, while another one on his own, trying to compare their body temperature. "I'll just tell Akashi-kun you're not feeling well today."

Kuroko smiled and patted the latter's forehead gently. His face still centimeters away from the other. "You should have a rest. I hope you'll feel well soon, I'd like to play with you again."

With that, leaving a stunned Aomine still lying on the floor, speechless as ever, Kuroko head to the door and went away. As the last echo of Kuroko's footstep was heard, Aomine jerked up, holding his head in frustration.

"Damn it, Tetsu..."

Akashi hid behind the wall as Aomine too head to the door with a scowl on his handsome face.

When Akashi returned to the gym, Aomine was seen practicing his dunk alone. Some of the other members were sitting by the side, already giving up on competing with the ace of the team. Each of the dunk was powerful, in fact, it got more powerful as Aomine kept on playing. His eyes would sometimes darted to the other end of the gym. It was then that Akashi spotted Kuroko, still practicing with Kise, the new member with a promising talent as Aomine. Both looked like they were enjoying their time with Kise looked much too happy on the other hand. It climaxed when the blond started patting Kuroko and Aomine's dunk gotten rougher.

"So that's why."

Akashi smirk as he watched the scene. Indeed, Kuroko was one of his kind, whether he knew it or not.

The whole gym was shocked when they heard a loud creak sound. Aomine stood there, his hand holding on the basketball hoop. The rest of the first string was on their training group, sweating from the game. Apparently, it had became a competition between Kise and Aomine alone in the game. Even with Murasakibara's defend and Midorima's three-point shoot, the game just seemed to be conquered by the two ace. Although, Kise was obviously trying very hard to catch up with Aomine.

No one had even realized how Kuroko was pushed aside, forgotten.

"Daiki."

As much as he liked how much Aomine had improved his dunk, the basketball hoop was pretty expensive, much less with the repairing expenses, thank you.

Aomine sweated profusely as the red head got closer to him.

"Aomine-cchi, this is the second one already." Kise, who was out of breath himself from trying to catch up with Aomine's play came closer to him. "Are you on stress or something?"

"Tch, shut up!" If only he could get the blond's head into the loop, or either way was fine by him.

"Triple menu for you today, no excuse. Ryota, you too."

"What? Akashi-cchi, w-why am I punished too?"

Because you're the indirect cause of this. "Because I told you too." And for touching Tetsuya so easily.

Another glare from the red head prevented them from saying anything anymore. They scrambled around, looking for something to do or to start training. Except for Kuroko who was staring back at him silently.

"What is it Tetsuya?"

"...Akashi-kun," Akashi tilted his head, waiting for Kuroko to finish up his word, but instead, Kuroko shut his mouth up. "No...It's nothing.."

Kuroko turned around and ran off to start his own training, leaving Akashi alone at his place.

"Did you even realized what you were doing Tetsuya?" Akashi whispered slowly as he held his hand on his rapid heartbeat.

I'm not sure about this, it will probably be a series of oneshot, mainly on AkaKuro. what do you think?
