A Game of Lies

UrielCray

Chapter 1: Beginning

"Kise, get your lazy ass off the bed or I'll screw you so hard you'll have a real reason to stay asleep as a cat like this."

The voice was irritated and irritating to listen to if you're not used to it but Kise loved this voice. Aomine's voice. His boyfriend.

Moaning, Kise raised his blond head to Aomine and grinned. "Good morning, Aominecchi."

The blue-haired male stared at him for a second before devouring his lips with an open-mouthed kiss. Kise instinctively wrapped his arms around Aomine's neck.

"I'll die of suffocation, Aominecchi," he whined after a while but Aomine kept kissing his lips and even started moving downwards to the pale expanse of his neck. He shuddered when the blue-head grazed his teeth on his sensitive skin.

"Aominecchi, we did it for like five times last night," he reminded, hoping in vain that Aomine would stop in consideration of what he just said but his lover chose to run his tongue along his neck down to his chest, smirking like a cat all the while.

Kise moaned and pushed Aomine. "Oi, Aominecchi... I have class..."

Grinning, Aomine straightened up. "Dress quickly then. I'll have you during lunch."

He pouted and languorously sat up, enjoying Aomine's gaze on his body. "I'm not food, you know."

Before he could even stand, Aomine pounced on him and kissed him hotly on the lips. "Ao...minecchi!"

"Why are you so hot, Kise?" Aomine murmured between kisses and finally let him go. "If you hadn't told me yesterday that you're in the danger of failing this class, I would have eaten you already."

"I'm not food."

Aomine smirked. "To me, you are."

Kise blushed but smiled nonetheless.

"Kise Ryouta," called their homeroom teacher who is checking the attendance.

The blonde responded by raising a hand and saying, "Here." without energy.

Their teacher eyed him carefully. "Are you alright, Kise-kun?"

"Eh?" Kise sit up immediately. "Ah, yes, sensei?"

"Do you want to go to the infirmary? You look sick."

I wonder if I do look sick, Kise wondered to himself while walking to the nurse's office. The hallways are empty of people at the moment since classes are ongoing but girls from inside the classrooms shriek and giggle at the sight of him.

Normally he would have waved and smiled but he was too occupied. In fact, he's too occupied that he bumped into Kasamatsu, his upperclassman in basketball.

"Oi, Kise," Kasamatsu began before having a look at him. "You look tired."

"Really?" he asked, putting a hand to his face.

Kasamatsu then chuckled. "I guess you had a rough night?"

Kise wondered what his senpai is talking about and followed the other's eyes which led to his wrists. He almost shrieked.

"Bruises?"

His senpai smirked. "Didn't know you're into S&M."

He can't help but blush. "Senpai, don't tease."

Clearing his throat, Kasamatsu straightened up. "Alright, alright. You can go home after class, seems like you won't be able to practice."

"Senpai!"

The raven-haired boy grinned and ran off now, probably going to his class which is in the fourth floor usually.

Sighing, Kise headed to the infirmary, intending to sleep.

"Do you know what's on next week?" Kise asked Aomine excitedly the next day, happy when his boyfriend hadn't gone back to Tokyo.

"Huh?"

The deadpan answer would normally tick Kise off but he just grinned and announced cheerfully. "Our anniversary!"

"Huh..."

"Aominecchi!" He groaned and sat beside Aomine on his couch poutingly. "You could atleast fake your excitement."

The blue-haired male just shrugged and continued watching TV. "It's a waste of time. We'll just end up having sex after all."

Kise shoulders droop. "I hate you..." he murmured, glaring at Aomine's profile. "Sometimes I think you don't really care about me."

There was no response.

"Okay, I get it. I'm going to sleep now," Kise said irritatingly, standing up to go to his room.

The behavior Aomine just displayed is very normal but it still hurt Kise that his boyfriend seem to not care about him. Or maybe he never cared at all. It was Kise who initiated their relationship after all and Aomine probably just played along because he was bored or something. True, Aomine had stopped looking at Mai-chan's magazines since they entered their relationship but that just pushed Kise to think that Aomine is with him because he can satisfy the dark skinned male's sexual needs.

Besides sex, they have nothing in common except their craziness and love for basketball. They almost never hang out just to talk and laugh the day off. Everytime they meet, it's sex. Kise can't help being jealous of Kuroko sometimes. He found out that when they're with the Generation of Miracles, Aomine just seem to love talking to his 'Tetsu'. And despite his adoration for Kuroko, Kise can't help wishing that sometimes the light blue-haired boy would stop tagging along with them.

One-sided love is hard...

"Any plans for tomorrow?" Kasamatsu asked Kise casually although he doesn't really seem all that interested.

Kise shook his head sadly. "Nah... I think there will be none."

"Well, your boyfriend is Aomine Daiki after all."

"Yeah."

After saying good bye to Kasamatsu, they both parted ways and Kise started heading to his house when he thought of surprising Aomine. He's still mad at his boyfriend but it's still their anniversary tomorrow, right?

Smiling, Kise began to run to the train station.

"Aominecchi?" Kise whispered when he opened the door to Aomine's apartment using the key his lover gave him. "Aominecchi?" he repeated but there's no response.

He's probably sleeping now, Kise thought and closed the door behind him before walking quietly to the stairs, clutching a box of cake he bought from the shop near the station. Upstairs, he went right to Aomine's room and slowly opened the door, expecting Aomine on the bed but found the room empty.

"Huh... where's Aominecchi then?" he asked himself before he heard some cluttering below. Afraid that it's a thief, Kise closed the bedroom door and held his ear against it so he can listen.

They were talking, the people downstairs. But suddenly the talking ceased and Kise straightened up, recognizing the other voice to be Aomine's. He clutched the cake to his chest and merrily walked outside the door only to find the people below are gone.

"Am I hallucinating?"

But he heard the voices moved to the kitchen and went there.

The scene shocked him.

Someone was leaning on the counter and Aomine is covering that someone. It was only when they changed angles that Kise found out that the other person is Kuroko and that they were kissing.

"Aomine-kun, Kise-kun will be mad at you," he heard Kuroko say between kisses.

Aomine growled as response and continued kissing Kuroko.

"Is he the one you want?" Kise asked painfully, his amber eyes tearing.

The two bolted away from each other and Aomine looked shocked at seeing Kise.

"I thought it was curious,," Kise began, "That you were so bored with me and that you always smile at him and..." he trailed off.

The dark skinned male started to walk towards him with a hand held out. "Kise, let's talk about this."

"Talk?" Kise scoffed. "We never talk remember? All we're good for is sex," he said bitterly before running outside the apartment. Kise can hear Aomine calling behind him but he paid no heed and continued running until he can see the lights at the train station.

"Kise! I can explain everything! I swear!"

Liar. Liar!

"Kise!"

It was different from how Aomine previously called him. There was no pleading in that voice. Only warning.

He turned to Aomine then and wondered for a moment why the blue-haired male looked shocked. And then a strong force hit his body.

He drank too much sake tonight, Kise knows that. Especially since his stomach is rumbling and is begging for a release. He would have allowed himself to do so except that he is on the road and puking in public isn't really one of his fetishes. Suddenly he regretted drinking and having fun with his new friends and classmates earlier. He stopped walking, which is actually not an appropriate word to describe the way his body slosh and twist along the road, and held onto a lamp post.

This is the worst, he thought bitterly. I should have atleast allowed Nagisa-kun to accompany me.

Really, he should have accepted his kind senpai's offer to take him home but stubborn as he is, he refused to be an excess baggage since Nagisa was with his girlfriend even when Aika-chan, his girlfriend, had insisted.

Fool.

With eyes half-closed, Kise leaned against the hard lamp post and sat on the cemented ground and thought that despite his situation now, he really enjoyed the party that the upperclassmen had thrown to greet freshmen in their department. To him, this is a new start and though his path now is not what he really aimed to be, he's happy. And with that, his thoughts wandered to three years ago, when he quit Kaijo's basketball team and became the studious student he never was. the latter was a product of a certain event of course, an event he really doesn't want to remember. But he remembered Kasamatsu's wrath the day he filed the resignation and the look on his team mates faces.

He feels sad every time he remembers his upperclassmen in high school. Their faces were a mixture of wonder, anger, disappointment and understanding. The latter was what makes it hard for Kise because he wanted to quit that day with his senpais disappointed faces etched in his memory but instead, they nodded at him with understanding. Even Kasamatsu restrained himself from kicking him.

Those made Kise wonder what his expression was like when he handed the resignation letter that caused his teammates to look so... sad.

Ugh, Kise groaned to himself. Really, he should stop this stroll down the memory lane and just continue walking home but his body won't move.

Sleepy, I am really sleepy...

"Kise?"

He tried to open his eyes but only caught a glimpse of hair so blue it seems unreal.

Aominecchi...

"Are you okay?"

He blinked several times before staring at Aomine's face.

It seems Aomine was relieved. "Thank God, I thought you were somehow dying or something."

No. He doesn't want to remember three years ago. It took a lot to forget him and he would not allow Aomine to just re-enter his life that fast or ever.

So a lie came out of his lips. "W-who are you?"

He savored the shock on Aomine's face. It was just like the look on his arrogant face before Kise had the accident.

Let's play a game, Aominecchi.
