Hai, Satsuki-sama.
Kuroko Tetsuya x Momoi Satsuki
Momoi Satsuki has never been this thankful to the Generation of Miracles. Never.
A man walked gracefully towards his Master while holding a platter with a chocolate cake topped with cherries.
"Satsuki-sama, would you like some cake? I've had the cherry stalks cleaned thoroughly for your safety."
The said Master smiled warmly towards her butler, signaling the latter that she would like some. Out of nowhere, a sparkling fork appeared on the butler's free hand.
"Would you like me to feed you, or would you like me to hold your clipboard instead, Satsuki-sama?"
Thinking of a valid excuse, she pursed her lips close until a bright idea ticked her mind. She looked at her butler straight in the eyes, meeting his sky-blue gaze that immediately got herself drowning with happiness.
"Would you feed me Tetsu-kun? I need to look at the players' improvements today."
With a nod, the man scooped a small part of the said cake, fed his master whole-heartedly, and then wiped the icing and crumbs that stained the corner of her lips with a white handkerchief.
Satsuki Momoi has never experienced such an internal turmoil in her life, not until now. Kyaa~ I really wanted to hug and kiss Tetsu-kun right now! Why does he have to be so cool and awesome and cute and handsome and charming and loveable?! But I have to cherish this moment everyone has given me! This time, I will definitely make you fall for me Tetsu-kun!
As Satsuki Momoi walked pass the gymnasium doors, she suddenly caught a sight of the Generation of Miracles together with their Phantom Member. They seem to be discussing something about their past games with different schools.
"Ahh! Momoichi! Come here quickly! We were just talking about you!" Kise called on to her.
"About me? I thought you were discussing your tactics so I entered hoping to be of help.." She asked quite shocked while heading towards the team that she manages.
"Satsuki, we are having a game of rock-paper-scissors." Said Aomine with a large grin plastered on his face.
"I thought you were talking about me, Aomine-kun?" She asked as she gets more and more confused about their conversation.
"It's not just a simple game Momo-chin! The one who will lose will be your butler for a day. If the butler will have many snacks, I would volunteer myself though." Murasakibara said while munching a pack of gummy bears.
Not getting a clear grasp of what they were talking about and not believing the words that came out from the other mans 'gummy' mouth, Momoi repeated what the giant violet-haired man said. "My butler?"
"Why Satsuki? Do you have any objections?"
Momoi quickly shook her head sideways while saying "N-none at all. D-do as you please." even though she does not understand the current situation. Contradicting Akashi would be the last thing that she would want to do as of the moment.
"Then let's start. Cancers are the second luckiest today next to Aquarius, but I carried my lucky item for the day so that should be able to compensate enough for the luck that is to be bestowed upon me.." Midorima said while holding a pad of paper.
As they prepared, an evil smirk appeared on their faces, with the exception of Kuroko.
'Ahh! The one who will lose would be my butler for a day! I must be in shock earlier to not even understand a very simple statement. But why would they do that?' Momoi asked herself as she understood the current situation that she was facing. 'They must have planned something if they would grin evilly like that. I just wish that Tetsu-kun would lose.. Even if I had to use all of my years worth of luck just to counter his, I would gladly use them all up! But I don't want Tetsu-kun to lose on front of everyone. Oh the agony!' Momoi thought.
Once the game has started, Momoi kept on wishing Kuroko to lose, just like a mantra inside her head. But Kuroko's luck seems to surpass all of their's. As a matter of fact, Kuroko has never lost in a game of rock-paper-scissors, which makes the gamble that the Generation of Miracles engaged themselves in risky. And upon seeing the results, Momoi's heart weighed heavy. Kuroko, who used scissors, defeated all their papers.
"I guess I win then. Good luck to everyone."
The members of the Generation of Miracles panicked, which did not go unnoticed by their manager, but was disregarded. Momoi was still getting worked up over Kuroko's win.
Aomine and Kise, on the other hand, were cursing Midorima for saying that paper should be used by everyone, just because it was his lucky item.
"Hold on Tetsuya." Akashi commanded Kuroko in a low voice which also stopped Kise, Aomine and Midorima from their fight. It also snapped Momoi out of her deep thoughts. "Stay. We are not yet done. There will be no elimination process. The one to lose must be defeated by everyone in one go."
Kise and Aomine sighed in relief, thanking their captain for his fast thinking. At least what they had planned would not go to waste.
The game continued forever with Kuroko winning and all of them losing.
"Geez! How much luck do you get in a day!?" Kise shouted getting annoyed.
"Have you ever lost in a rock-paper-scissors game!?" Aomine bellowed upon him, also getting annoyed.
"Since Kuro-chin kept on winning, why don't we just make him Momo-chin's butler?"
…
…
…
…
…
"You're such a genius Murasakibarachi! / I will treat you later Atsushi!" Kise and Aomine cheered the violet-haired giant.
"Really Dai-chin?Yay! But the rule said that the one who will lose will be the butler though.."
…
…
…
…
"I take back what I said. / I am not treating you later anymore!" The two took back their words immediately.
"Then why don't you all be Momoi-san's butler?" Kuroko suggested with his deadpanned expression.
"It will be hard on Satsuki if she is to have a lot of butlers. One will be enough." Akashi explained, then commanded Kuroko "You should do it Tetsuya, since you are the only one who keeps on beating us."
Momoi's eyes began to sparkle with the flickering hope that is presented upon her. She looked at Kuroko with expecting eyes until their gazes met.
…
…
…
…
"I don't mind if it does not bother Momoi-san."
…
…
…
…
"Alright! / Thank goodness!" Aomine and Kise shouted simultaneously.
The weight that was once making her heart feel heavy now turned into a pounding heart like a basketball being dribbled, accompanied by butterflies that infested her stomach. Murasakibara was still munching on his gummy bears while Akashi was smiling with his arms folded on his chest.
Kuroko excused himself to the bathroom after sometime, leaving The Generation of Miracles together with their manager.
"So.. How was it Momoichi!?" Kise beamed at her immediately once Kuroko was out of sight.
"How was what?" Momoi asked not understanding what he meant.
"How was our gift?" Aomine also asked with an expecting look.
"What gift? Seriously guys? Can't you make it clearer?" Momoi asked not really understanding their conversation.
"I thought you know everything Momo-chin? Demotivational posters where spread on the internet saying that you know everything." Murasakibara stated while munching on the newly opened potato chips in his hands.
"That does not apply in situations like this! Of course I do not know some things.." Momoi countered as her voice trailed off.
"We wanted to thank you for managing us until now. We may be strong, but it is also thanks to you and your hard works that we were able to earn those victories." Akashi explains to Momoi.
"That's why we made Kurokochi your butler for a day since we know that you will definitely like it." Kise added while smiling widely.
Surely, Momoi did many things that will benefit the Generation of Miracles, but not once had she ever thought that they would feel indebted to her and surprise her, because a simple thank you would be more than enough for her, but ther exeptions (which is Kuroko, himself). Before she knew it, tears started to cascade her face. She has never been so moved in her life, not until this day.
"Satsuki! Is there really a need to cry!" Aomine told her as tears continued to roll down her face.
"Master. Please let me wipe the tears that threatens to fall down your face."
…
…
…
…
As she glanced at the source of the voice, she was completely stunned by the view that welcomed her eyes.
Clad in a black suit left unbuttoned, slim-fitted slacks, white long-sleeved button-up shirt complemented by a black bow tie and black vest, and well-polished black laced shoes, Kuroko pulled off the serious butler aura effortlessly.
Satsuki Momoi immediately fainted.
Upon opening her eyes, a handsome butler appeared before her eyes, running his hands over and over her hair. She did not want to get up, she can lay all day in her butler's lap and have him run his hand over her hair all day, but knew better than to treasure this moment with a lot more things, a lot more interesting things.
"Ah! Tetsu-kun! Thank you for taking good care of me." Momoi said while slightly bowing her head once she got up.
"If it's for Satsuki-sama, I am glad to be of any help." Kuroko said with his deadpanned voice.
"Satsuki… Sama?" Momoi asked her butler.
"Do you not like the term of endearment I have thought of? Satsuki-sama?" Kuroko asked his master, his voice with a hint of sadness.
Upon hearing her butler's voice, she quickly lifted her head and smiled widely at him. "Of course I like it Tetsu-kun! Well.. What shall we do now?" She asked to save their selves from the awkward situation, at least for her.
"If you have any request Satsuki-sama, just tell me and I will heed unto them." Kuroko said with a smile.
Momoi began thinking what they could do to pass time. They still have an hour before practice starts, so they can do pretty much. As she thinks of what possible activities she can do, she suddenly remembers that she will be attending a meeting in behalf of the basketball club.
Fearing for her life once Akashi knew that she did not attend the meeting, she quickly dashed her way through the hallways then went to the room that she remembered was the venue for the meeting. As she stands behind the door, she heard voices converse.
"Badminton Club?"
"Hai!"
"Baseball Club?"
"Hai!"
"Basketball Club?"
On cue, the doors opened surprising not only the representatives from the room but also Momoi. Shifting her head to her left, she saw Kuroko beside her.
"We are the representatives from the Basketball Club." Kuroko said cutting the silence with his toneless voice.
"And you are?" The one standing in front, 'probably the moderator' Momoi thought, asked.
Paying no attention to the girls question, the two newly arrived participants made their way to the last seat available at the back of the classroom, with Kuroko leading Momoi. As they arrived at the spot, Kuroko pulled the chair, as a sign of respect to his master.
Momoi cheeks grew hot, but disregarded the thought and vowed to her inner self that 'There's no time to act shy and girly! I need to cherish every moment I have with Tetsu-kun!'. She sat gracefully and then the meeting continued, much to the dismay of the moderator and her unanswered question.
"Batton Club?"
"Hai!"
As the meeting went by smoothly, the other representatives can't help themselves from glancing at the butler standing beside Momoi. Kuroko paid no attention to his surroundings but only to his master, Satsuki-sama.
Once the meeting ended, the female representatives quickly stood up and made their way towards the butler, who was waiting for his Master to finish her little chit-chat with her classmates. The girls were quite shy on approaching Kuroko, but one gathered enough courage to talk to him.
"K-Kuroko-san!"
Everyone looked at the source of the voice, which was a little loud, just to see a girl with blushing cheeks. The said girl was looking down, facing her shoes because of embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, but I can't entertain you for the time being. Satsuki-sama has my complete loyalty for the day. Have a nice day." Kuroko said as he followed Momoi who was heading towards the door.
Once the butler left their sights, the girls started squealing while hugging each other.
"Kyaa~ Kuroko-kun was so cute there!"
"He definitely carried that butler outfit with class!"
"The way he rejected me made me fall for him deeper!"
"I am so jealous of Momoi-san!"
"She is so lucky!"
Basketballs bouncing, buzzers alarming and shoes squeaking can be heard as they approached the gym. As they entered the gym's doors, a fuming coach welcomed the two representatives.
"Momoi! Where have you been? I have been looking for you everywhere!"
"Satsuki-sama just attended a meeting for the budget allocation for the clubs. You should be grateful that she managed to get 25% of the total budget allocation out the tens of clubs that wanted to have a large portion of the allocation to themselves." Kuroko said defending his master and explaining the meeting proper that they had just attended.
"25%!? Well.. That's.. Awesome! By the way, who is this butler of yours Momoi? He kind of reminds me of someone." The coach asked as he examines Kuroko from head to toe.
"He's Tetsu-kun coach. The Generation of Miracles' gift to me for managing them." Momoi said with a smile.
"Kuroko!? Ehh.. You look good in a butler's outfit, may I say. But kidding aside, I never thought that the Generation of Miracles have that in them." The coach said pretty amazed by the turn of events.
"Even I find it hard to believe. But Tetsu-kun here is the living proof. Haha. By the way coach, I will be going to where the first-string members are practicing." Momoi said as she waved and went to the wide doors of the gymnasium.
"Please excuse us." Kuroko said then disappeared in front of his coach's very eyes.
"They never change."
The Generation of Miracles were seating on the far-end part of the court. They have been observing Momoi and Kuroko for quite a while now. As of the moment, the butler was now feeding his master with a chocolate cake while the master pretends to run a performance assessment on the players.
"Momoichi's completely enjoying this. Right Aominechi?" Kise said quite amazed by Momoi's everlasting smile that has not left her face since she came bouncing from the gym's doors.
"You bet. I' sure she's definitely thanking us from her insides because of our gift to her." Aomine said while eyeing the two like a spy. (Kyaa! Tetsu-kun is amazing! Thank you Kami-sama for this opportunity! I thank You, You and only You! were Momoi's thoughts as of the moment.)
"Momoi is smiling more often and wider than usual. It's actually creepy." Midorima said while folding some origami from his lucky item.
"I think I can fit this apple inside Momo-chin's mouth." Murasakibara joked.
"That's not right Atsushi. This bigger one would fit better." Akashi stated with an evil smile.
'Those three really are evil'! Aomine and Kise's thought as they shuddered upon their gazes.
