Kagami prayed that Kuroko's neighbours wouldn't see him as he pulled himself clumsilyup onto Kuroko's window ledge. He grunted and he shoved open the wooden framed window and rolled into the room with a thud, he cursed his own lack of suppleness. He wasn't going to change his career plan to a professional burglar any time soon. His phone buzzed in his pocket."He cursed as he read the text.
"We lost Kuroko! He just vanished! Hide the present and get out!" br / Seriously, how could a whole basketball team not keep an eye on Kuroko for 10 minutes? They had the easy job!"He glanced around Kuroko's room desperately searching for somewhere to the carefully wrapped present. It had to be somewhere that Kuroko would find it, but not too obvious.
He looked towards neatly made bed and considered putting it in the cabinet at the side, but decided that the blue haired idiot might not find it there before the end of his birthday. Looking across from the bed he spotted Kuroko's wardrobe and grinned. Great. First thing in the morning Kuroko would be looking for his basketball uniform to take to training. He slid open one of the doors and instantly spotted the seirin kit perfectly folded on a shelf.
A sickening click could be heard from the lock on the front door.
Kagami's feet were frozen in place. How could he explain breaking into his best friends room without telling him about the surprise present? He couldn't. Kagami cursed under his breath shoving the present hastily underneath the uniform. He glanced to the window and cursed again when he realised that the old lady across the road had decided to clean her windows.
"Why now?!" He growled, eyes scanning the room for an escape.
It was definitely better Kuroko finding him than getting arrested for burglary.
"Kurokocchiiiiiii" A familar voice whined.
"Oh God, no." Kagami's hands clutched at the sides of his face. Now, being arrested for burglary was probably the better option. He heard the low hum of Kuroko's voice replying to Kise and a creak as both boys started to climb the stairs.
Were they coming to the bedroom? The athlete panicked and pulled open the opposite side of the wardrobe to the hastily stashed present and climbed inside, crouching to the floor underneath the hanging clothes. Kagami only just had time to slide the door almost to close before the bedroom door clicked open. The space between the wardrobe door and the frame left a slither of light falling across Kagami's panicked face and for the second time today he found himself praying that he wouldn't be noticed.
Kise had unceremoniously dived onto Kuroko's bed, earning a low tisk from the smaller player.
"Don't tut at me Kurokocchi!" Kise teased pulling the smaller boy close. Kagami screwed his eyes shut in despair. He really hoped this wasn't going to go where he thought it might. The sound of wet lips on lips dashed his hopes instantly. Yet again, he cursed his luck. Seeing his best friend being screwed into a mattress was Kagami's idea of a nightmare, especially considering it was going to be Kise doing it.
Kagami knew Kise and Kuroko were dating, Kise couldn't keep his mouth shut when it came to his blue haired mentor and the usually stoic Kuroko himself didn't deny they were together. But that was all Kagami needed to know. He just hoped Kise was as overexcited as usual and this wouldn't take long. The thought made bile rise in his throat. He screwed his eyes shut tighter. Sierra's ace tried to find a bright side to the scenario. The only silver lining he could think of was that Kuroko was a passive kind of guy so at least he wouldn't be as vocal as the blonde.
"If you're not going to see me on my birthday, my present had better be twice as good."
The low growl in Tetsu's voice made Kagami's eyes fling open in shock. He felt his arms prickle at the sultry, dark tone. Kise only hummed in response. Curiosity overcame Kagami's fear of being caught and he craned his neck forward to peer through the gap.
