A/N: Yes, as you can see, here I am again, writing a new Kuroko No Basuke Fanfiction. And my main OTP, as usual, is AkaKuro because they are just too adorable especially when they're together. Ah, I'm mentally squealing here. By the way, just wanna let you know that I'm hiding from my parents that fact that I write this kind of fanfictions, that I love yaoi and I'm a fujoshi. Shhhh!
Shh, or else I will never ever update any of stories again.
Oh, by the way, my other fanfics' new updates are coming soon! No worries, they'll be better than the ones I've recently uploaded. I just recovered from a two-day cold so I'm in no condition to have much-muchy fluffies.
Don't worry guys. This is a very different story. I definitely promise you that. It has no abuse, not much lemons. I wanted to try something that would make my readers squeal, cry, yell, scream, and then laugh. I wanted to try something that would make you, my dearest readers, the best story –well, fanfiction actually—in your lives. I couldn't promise you that this is the best, but I'll be giving my best to give you one hell of a twisted love story.
(PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER KNB FANFICS. THANKIES!)

"Just Like A Merry-Go-Round"
Summary:
"Once upon a time, I fell in love with you. But you didn't. The end." Sometimes, you just need to end your story that way because you'll get hurt less. This is just one hell of a twisted love story. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! ENJOY!
Chapter One: Once, but not twice.
He always knew, but he always pretended that he didn't.
He always felt it, but he always pretended that he didn't.
He always dreamt of it, but he always pretended that it was just a nightmare.
He always thought of it, but he always quickly banished the thought out of his head.
He always loved him, but he always pretended that he didn't.
Because sometimes pretending was better than loving. You get less hurt by this.
Akashi Seijuro, this was the name he scribbled on his notes again. He stared at the name before ripping the page out of the notebook before tearing it into pieces. After doing so, he approached the windows, opened it and blew the torn pieces with the wind.
He looked back and saw the big calendar that hanged on the wall beside his room's door. The day after tomorrow's date was encircled with a red marker and that meant that it was a special day.
He frowned and looked at the note he wrote under the encircled date. "Start of my second year in High School!" it said and there was a small smiley at the sentence's end.
"Time sure flies fast." He murmured and closed the window. "It's Spring now." He added and opened his closet to bring out his school uniform. "I better remind Kagami-kun or else he would definitely forget there's already school tomorrow." He sighed and took his phone.
Instead of looking for Kagami's number, his search landed on Akashi Seijuro's contact details.
What the hell am I doing?
He gulped and pressed 'Options'. He blinked and then clicked 'Delete Contact' next.
"Are you sure you want to delete Akashi Seijuro from your contacts?" It asked.
He smiled and pressed 'Yes' quickly. Then the smaller red-head's name was out of his phone's contacts. After doing so, he dialed his partner's number. The other answered after four rings. "Mnnnyeah?"
"Kagami-kun?"
"…Mmmnnnyeah, it's me. Mho's thwis?"
"You sound like a drunken man. This is Kuroko." He sighed and sat on his bed.
He heard the red-head's bed stir. The other probably sat up too. "Oh, it's you. What's up? Yawn~ I'm so sleepy."
"It's already four in the afternoon, Kagami-kun. You were still napping?"
"Yeah. Gotten tired after playing basketball earlier. So what's up?"
He blinked. "I just called to remind you that there's class the day after tomorrow."
"Seriously?!"
"Yes." He murmured.
"Ah, geeeez. Already? Damn. Time sure flies fast." Kagami grunted.
He smiled. "It does, doesn't it?" He agreed.
"Uh, Kuroko?"
"Yes…?"
"Since it's our last day of Spring Break tomorrow. Do you wanna hang out with me tomorrow? Let's, uh, go around the town or something like that." Kagami offered with an awkward tone.
He blinked again. "Do you have a fever?"
"I don't, you bastard! I'm serious here, you know! I haven't really spent my Spring Break that much! Geeeez!"
He looked at his closet before nodding. "Fine. I'll hang out with you tomorrow. I have no appointments anyway. Where do we meet?"
"Really? Alright then. Hmmmm, how about I pick you up in your house at exactly ten in the morning? Sounds good?"
He smiled, stood up and opened his closet once again. "Yes, sounds good. Oh, please do buy me a milk shake on the way, Kagami-kun."
"Hey, that's not part of the deal!"
"Then you get no one to hang out with tomorrow. Spend your last day of Freshmen Spring Break all alone. Oh, how lonely." He teased and picked a plain striped indigo and blue t-shirt and baggy under knees, green shorts.
"Ugh! Fine! I'll see you tomorrow! I'm hungry. I'll cook something first! Bye!"
He nodded. "See you. Bon appetite."
"Yeah, yeah, bye!" And then the red-head hung up after Kuroko heard the red-head's stomach growl. "Kagami-kun is so childish sometimes." He commented and placed his phone back on his study table.
"Tetsu, supper's ready!" His grandmother shouted from downstairs.
"Coming." He replied and twisted his room's doorknob when his cell phone suddenly rang. "Who could that be?" He sighed and picked up his phone. The number wasn't registered and that was when his eyes widened. Akashi-kun…
He pressed 'Reject' and turned off his phone.
"Tetsu?"
"Sorry, I'm coming." He responded and ran downstairs. "Have you seen Nigou?"
"Oh, he's outside. He's sleeping." His mother, Arukawa Kuroko, who came out of the master's bedroom downstairs, replied with a smile. "He's a grown-up now."
"Who are you pertaining to?" His father, Hibiki Kuroko, teased. "Tetsu or Nigou?"
His eyes didn't portray anything, but Kuroko stared blankly at his parents. "I'm not that small."
"Not sayin' anything." His father defended and laughed. "I was kidding, I was kidding. Come on, let's eat, my son who is not small but is really quite small."
"Grandma, give me Dad's share too." He complained.
"Alright~" His grandmother, Haruka Kuroko, responded from the kitchen.
"What? No way!" Hibiki protested and sniffed. "You're so unfair." He added as he stared at the only dishes placed before him: a bowl of soup and a bowl of rice. "You're so, so unfair! I'm so hungry too!"
"Hibiki. Eat what's in front of you." Arukawa scolded and started eating along with her son.
Hibiki sniffed again. "So unfair~"
Kuroko blinked and then sighed before placing the dishes he stole back to his father. "Here you go, Dad."
He quickly used misdirection when his father almost hugged him. "No huggies."
"But why?"
"No huggies, Dad."
"But why~?"
"Both of you, sit down." Arukawa giggled. "Huggies will continue after dinner."
"What? No." He sighed.
Hibiki celebrated. "Yes, I get huggies again."
Haruka laughed. "You're such a kid, Hibiki."
"Am not." Hibiki defended.
See? Akashi-kun?
I wasn't thinking of you.
I'm not thinking of you.
I won't be thinking of you.
Ever again.
~LFMH021~
He dribbled the ball before doing his form. After doing this, he made his phantom shot. KLANG! Sounded the hoop as his shot went inside the ring.
"You're getting better and better, son." Arukawa commented after she finished doing the laundry.
He turned and smiled. "Not really. Compared to my other senpais, former teammates and own partner—I'm still far from being called 'best'."
"Why don't you stop comparing yourself from me? Seriously…I won't be the best player in Japan without your help. So we're both in this." A new voice complained behind him.
This time, he fully turned and found Kagami grinning at him with a basketball in one hand. "Kagami-kun. Hello."
He received a smack in the head. "Hello yourself!" Kagami grunted and laughed. "Good morning, Kuroko-kun, Kuroko-san."
Arukawa and Hibiki looked at each other. "Oh my. No need to stay so formal, Kagami. You can call me Auntie Arukawa and my husband Uncle Hibiki."
"But—"
His grandmother went out of the house with a plate of cheeseburgers. "I made cheeseburgers. Get some, Kagami."
The red-head blushed before accepting one. "T-Thank you…uh…"
"You can call me Grandma Haruka."
The ace blushed even more. "I'm not even that close with you…"
Arukawa giggled. "Such a polite child you are, Kagami. That's fine. You're our son's best friend. And it's very seldom he brings home friends of his. It makes us so happy that you have accepted him despite his quite dull appearance and misdirection."
What surprised him greatly was when Kagami shook his head and grinned. "No, no, no! I didn't do much! He actually pretty much the reason why I changed. I never knew that this boy, who looks so dull, emotionless, expressionless and invisible, could change me. It was thanks to him I'm like this, so I owe him a lot. He's a cool guy!"
Hibiki laughed. "I'm really so glad it's you, Kagami, who became my son's best friend! It'll be such a waste if it's someone who doesn't treat Tetsu like this."
"You go on now. Time's ticking." Arukawa permitted and smiled warmly at both of them.
Kagami finished the cheeseburger Haruka prepared and grinned again. "The cheeseburger was delicious! Thank you for the generosity!" He bade and grabbed him by his hand. "Let's go!"
"Y-Yes." He replied and followed after his 'light'.
They were walking side by side for about two minutes and he couldn't help himself from glancing at Kagami in curiosity.
The latter blinked and looked back at him. "Hn?"
He blinked back. "Milk shake?"
"Milk shake?" Kagami repeated in confusion.
He unnoticeably pouted. "My milk shake that you promised yesterday."
That was when the other's eyes glinted in realization. "Ah! The milk…shake…I…promised…SHIT! Sorrry!"
All Kuroko could do was sigh. "I was expecting a milk shake too."
"Really! Sorry!"
The teal-head continued the silent treatment which made the red-head guiltier.
"Oi, Kuroko…"
He remained silent still.
"Kuroko…"
He stared at the ground and avoided Kagami's eyes even if the red-head almost took out his out just so that their eyes would meet and the latter would be able to read his emotions.
"Fine. Come on, let's go get some Magi Milk Shake." The power forward surrendered and pointed the Fast Food Chain which was just blocks away from where they were standing at. "It's my treat. And I'll get you two milk shakes as an apology. Is that enough?"
"Why are you being so kind suddenly?"
"Hey, I'm always kind."
Kuroko turned and walked towards Magi Burger. "Forget what I just commented."
"Oi, what the hell? Kuroko! Oi!"
~LFMH021~
"…And then I suddenly screamed!" Kagami said and elaborated with hand gestures.
Kuroko pushed open the doors of Magi Burger. "Eh? Why?"
"Because under the bed was something that was glaring at me!" Kagami mumbled.
"Something?" He repeated.
"Good morning, sirs!" greeted one of the waiters.
"Good morning." They both greeted back and resumed in talking.
The red-head nodded. "Yeah, and you know what it was?"
"What was it?"
"A damn raccoon! Don't ask me how, but it was suddenly there! Geez, I got so scared." The ace complained.
"Where is it now?"
The other grinned. "I brought it to a vet. I cannot take care of a raccoon. Heck, I don't even know how to spell raccoon in kanji!"
That made him crack a smile. "Guess, we're back in the basics huh." He commented and looked around. "There's a lot more people today than usual."
"Hm, you're right. Oh, we're next!" Kagami exclaimed and started to order. "Oh, Kuroko, I'm going to pay. You go ahead and look for a table we can sit on."
"You ordered too?"
"Yah! A whole tray of cheeseburgers!"
"Thought so." He mumbled and walked around to find an empty seat. "They're all occupied…" He grumbled and found an empty table –empty, long table—at the farthest corner of the Fast Food Chain. "Guess, it's—"
He was about to sit on one of the seats when a hand also held into the chair he was planning to take.
"Sorry, I came here first. And—" He cut off his own sentence upon seeing a dumbfounded Kise staring back at him. "Ah."
"Kurokocchi!" Kise exclaimed and tried to hug him.
Tried.
And failed.
Because the teal-head instinctively stopped him with the menu he found on the table. He slapped it right at the blonde's face as a shield. Slapped it. Hard. "No."
"Aw, you meanie." The blonde cried.
"You're being noisy again, Kise. Shut up." A familiar voice grunted from behind him.
This time, he fully turned and almost wanted to literally disappear out of this place…right now.
It was not only Kise who he needed to see today but his former teammates too. The other four were all gathered behind him. They were wearing casual clothes, but they still greatly stood out which was making him more uncomfortable.
What a great day.
He bowed. "Hello." He emotionlessly greeted and looked at each of them in the eyes. He had this weird habit of knowing and observing the ones he's talking with just to make sure of the things he would say and actions he would do.
"Ahhhh~ Kuro-chin. It's been awhile." Murasakibara greeted and petted him.
He frowned and pushed the violet-head's hand away. "Stop doing that. I'm not a dog."
"Ah. Gomen, gomen~"
Midorima pushed his glasses and raised an eyebrow with the individual facing them all as of the moment. Kuroko Tetsuya- out of the house with no basketball in hands, and all alone. Now, that was very unusual. "That's odd. Why are you here?"
"To eat?"
That was when Aomine gawked in laughter. "Only you, Tetsu, could answer Midorima with such creative answers. And only you, Tetsu, can be this unpredictable. Been awhile, huh?"
The fourth one who had greeted him was Momoi. "Tetsu-kun!" She exclaimed and hugged him. He patted her head, which made her blush even more without his notice. "Aw, Tetsu-kun! I missed you! It's been awhile!"
He nodded. "It has been awhile."
She released him and smiled excitedly.
I have a bad feeling with that smile of hers.
"By the way, Tetsu-kun! Akashi-kun's with us! Rare, right?" The pink-head announced and pointed the approaching red-head, who was holding a tray of the food he had ordered.
The latter stopped and glared at the other members of Generation of Miracles and Momoi. "What are you standing here for? Haven't you taken your seats yet?"
"Well, it's because…" Kise started and glanced at him.
He blinked. He hasn't realized I'm here yet.
"Kuroko!" Kagami, who came right after Akashi, called out.
The 'Emperor's' eyes widened just by hearing his name, which confirmed his previous thought. The latter raised his head and looked at him. Kuroko stared back at Akashi. "Tetsuya?"
Kagami looked at their sudden new companions. "What in the world—Where did all of these fungi come from?"
"We're not fungi!" Aomine complained. "You stupid idiot!"
"Shut up, you dumbass who is so dark that I couldn't seem to distinguish you from the new seats of Magi Burger."
"D-Dark?" Aomine echoed, shocked.
Kagami smirked. "Yeah, super dark and has no chance to ever get to have the same skin tone as me or Kuroko. Don't even dream of it."
"You bastard! I'm not that dark!"
"You are! Stop fooling yourself!" Kagami growled.
He was still staring back at Akashi as his two 'lights' continued arguing. He was not going to look away. He was not going to run away. He was not going to say anything. He was never going to take the first step again.
He had learned his lesson from back then.
"And this year's Winter Cup champion is Seirin High School!" The announcer shouted right after the buzzer rang.
"Seirin won with 102 against 99!" The referee added.
The members of Seirin High blinked before looking at one another in shock. "What…?"
"We won!" Riko shouted –cried—from her seat.
Kiyoshi blinked. "We won…?" He repeated and took out that creepy smile of his. "WE WON!"
He received a smack from the crying Hyuuga. "We heard! Stop shouting." He grumbled and grinned. "SEIRIN, WE WON!"
After hearing their captain proclaim this, the members –be it a regular or not—started to cry, shout, scream and yell as part of their celebration. A celebration for a miracle that just happened.
Seeing the blissful smiles on the winners' faces, the audiences started clapping their hands and shouting the word: 'Congratulations!'. Everyone even stood up and cheered with them.
"Seirin, fight, fight, fight!" They all shouted together.
The referee smiled before shouting, "Teams assemble!"
Quickly, Rakuzan and Seirin members ran towards their station and yelled, "Thanks for the good game!"
But, Seirin knew, despite such an ending, that Rakuzan hated them even more now. The remaining Uncrowned Generals, Mayuzumi and especially Akashi didn't even bother to shake their hands.
No one from the white team was crying, in the contrary, everyone was wearing his poker face, which made the atmosphere tense and scary.
"Let's go, Kuroko." Kagami called.
He shook his head and pointed another certain red-head. "I need to talk to Akashi-kun."
"He doesn't need it; whatever you're going to say to him. Can't you see? He's damn scary and angry. No one can approach him."
He gulped. "I need to try."
Kagami sighed and surrendered. "Fine. I'll go with you."
"No need."
"I'll go with you. Now, start walking." Kagami grunted and followed after his 'shadow' as the latter quickly approached the readying Akashi in the Rakuzan's bench.
Kuroko took a deep breath before starting, "Akashi-kun."
The smaller red-head didn't reply.
"Thank you for the great game. I enjoyed it." Kuroko added.
I just want to be closer to you, please. This was the thought that was inside the teal-head's mind as he approached the 'Emperor' even more.
Hayama, Nebuya, Reo and Mayuzumi were only looking at him. They were not moving, neither were they glaring. They were just observing and watching. Like some audiences watching a prey going near its' predator like an idiot.
"I know. You hate losing. Actually, I think, in your mind…you must never lose. I know that's your principle and I'm sorry if I ever stained it. I know that deep within you, you love basketball, Akashi-kun."
Akashi paused.
"We've lost before and it hurt. But it isn't a bad thing. You learn a lot from it. Besides, this was just a miracle happening. From the very beginning, it's you who's destined to win."
Akashi started to straighten.
"P-Please return to the Akashi-kun the Generation of Miracles know! I know it hurts to lose but please—"
"SHUT UP!" The owner of the heterochromatic eyes snapped as he turned and faced him.
Kuroko's eyes widened upon seeing the rage, fury and hatred in the red-head's eyes. And he knew fully well that these emotions were all because of him. He hated the fact, but he got no choice.
"Aka—"
"YOU KNOW NOTHING OF ME. YOU'RE JUST MY EXPERIMENT PROTOTYPE. DON'T COME CLOSE TO ME EVER AGAIN. I HATE YOU. BECAUSE OF THIS, YOU STAINED MY DIGNITY. I HATE YOU. GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE." His former captain was not yelling, snapping or even snarling at him. But his eyes were just so scary and his tone was just so serious that it was like Kuroko was standing on the depths of hell.
"I repeat, I hate you. Stop pretending that you just want us back altogether. There was no 'us' back in Teiko. Stop dreaming." Akashi finished, grabbed his bag and turned. "Let's go, Rakuzan." He ordered, and left.
Left him—humiliated, embarrassed and broken in front of many people.
"He hates me that much, huh?" He murmured.
"Kuroko?" Kagami anxiously whispered.
He turned. "Congrats, Kagami-kun, you're now the best player in Japan."
He knew Kagami knew what he was really feeling, but he was glad the latter kept quiet, grinned and smacked his back. "Iiiiiiddddiot, we're in this together. Without you, I won't be here."
At least someone still understands me. He thought and forced a small smile, even if it hurt. So bad.
"…ko…! Kuroko…Kuroko, I said! OI!" Kagami shouted right beside his right ear.
Reflexively, he hand-chopped Kagami in surprise. Because of this, he had a reason to stop staring back at the smaller red-head. "Stop startling me. I hate it."
The manager suddenly went out of its cage and turned the speakers of the Fast Food Chain's into the maximum volume and started a song. A very…very…masculine song.
"This sounds familiar…" Kagami mumbled.
"Masked Bitch by Shoose." He filled in.
The ace looked at him in shock. "How did you know? And wow, I didn't expect you can say its' title without flinching."
"That was the song that was played in the bus the last time we went in on one. Don't you remember that it suddenly got stuck in traffic and to get rid of the passenger's boredom, it was played in the bus?" He explained.
"Ah. The last time…Oh! I remember now! The time when—" Kagami shut his mouth as his cheeks reddened. "Aw, shit."
He nodded. "Yes. That's when—"
Kagami covered his mouth. "Shut up."
"Give me one of my milk shakes and I'll shut up." He blackmailed.
The other complied. "Geez."
The others stared at them, confused. "I don't get it." Kise complained.
Aomine grinned evilly. "I have an idea."
Kuroko, himself, kicked his old 'light'. "Don't even try."
"OW!" Aomine belatedly grunted. "Tetsu!"
Akashi spoke up suddenly, which surprised everyone. "Tetsuya."
He pretended he didn't hear his name and looked at Kagami. "Let's just bring those burgers outside."
"As in take out?"
"Yes, let's take them out instead. I really wanna buy a book I've seen yesterday in the internet." He lied. I didn't open my laptop this whole week.
Kagami stared at him and grinned. "I wonder if the Basketball Monthly is out." He commented and asked for a plastic and started wrapping his burgers.
"It is. I have one at home. Mom bought it yesterday."
Kagami took out one burger and took a bite. "It's delicious, but I miss Grandma Haruka's! It has something different in it." He commented and turned. "I'll just buy something to drink. Wait here."
His eyes widened a fraction. "Kaga—"
The red-head smiled. "It'll be fine. I won't take long."
And he was suddenly left alone with the other six once again. All he could was sigh in annoyance.
"Wanna sit, Tetsu-kun?" Momoi offered as she pointed the empty seat across Akashi.
He felt the stare the latter was giving, so he took her offer and sat down. "Thank you."
Ba-thump.
Ba-thump!
Ba-thump!
Silence enveloped their table as no one even dared to speak. It was awkward and only Momoi had no idea why. The other five did. Kuroko knew that they did. He could see it with the way they fidgeted and glance at the two of them.
"S-So, Kurokocchi, why are you and Kagamicchi out?" Kise started, stuttering and hesitant, which was out of his character.
He sipped his milk shake. "He promised me a milk shake and I promised him that I'll accompany him to spend out last day of Vacation around the town."
"Since when did your fetish become milk shake?" Aomine demanded. "I thought you loved popsicle."
"I still do. Magi's vanilla shake is just so good. And I started loving it when I came in Seirin." He answered.
Silence grew again.
"Ne, Ne, Akashi-kun, what's your plan this year? Are you entering the Inter-High and Winter Cup again this year?" Momoi intervened. They were supposed to be glad but it was just that she chose a taboo topic. A topic which shouldn't be mentioned in front of both Kuroko and Akashi.
Akashi blinked and unconsciously glanced at Kuroko. "We will. We're going to enter both again."
"Waaah! So we'll be facing one another in the court again soon, huh." The pink-head murmured in excitement.
Kagami emerged just in time. "Let's go, Kuroko!"
He stood up. "If you'll excuse us now." He bade and barely took a step forward when Akashi finally spoke up his mind.
"Tetsuya, turn around and face me."
He halted. "I have no obligation to do so, Akashi-kun."
"How can you say that when you won't even face me? Turn around and face me, Tetsuya. That's an order."
He turned and sipped his shake. "Yes?"
"…Do you hate me now?"
He wasn't expecting such a question, and he was really brought into shock. But the tap Kagami did on his shoulder composed him.
"Do I have choices?" He responded.
"Yes or no."
"Alright then. Yes, I do." He bluntly replied. He didn't see much of a reaction from the other and it hurt him more. "What else?"
The 'Emperor' stood up and extended his arm. "I know you hate me. So let's begin again."
"Begin again?" He repeated.
" Can we be friends?" Akashi sincerely murmured. His eyes portrayed sincerity, open-mindedness, and hesitance.
Ba-thump!
Ba-thump!
Ba-thump!
Ba-thump!
Ba…thump…
He stared at the hand being offered to him and then raised his eyes to meet Akashi's.
Choose wisely, Kuroko.
He took a deep breath and bowed politely. His tone as emotionless and cold as ever. "Thank you for such kind words and for giving me such an amazing offer, but I'm so sorry for I need to refuse. I can't seem to find myself friends with a very high-level person like you. I don't hold a grudge against you, so let's not make any reason for me to do so." He murmured, raised his head before turning. "Let's go, Kagami-kun."
The taller red-head glanced at Akashi before following after his partner. "Hm, oh yeah! Kuroko, I have a new technique I want you to critic!"
Kuroko's eyes brightened again. "I also do. Wanna go to the basketball court after buying the Basketball Monthly?"
"Sure. Let's go, slowpoke!"
And after few more seconds, the two had disappeared out Magi Burger.
"Ah. I want some fries! Gonna buy some!" Momoi exclaimed and ran towards the cashier, nonchalant.
Aomine laughed. "He turned you down."
Akashi clenched the hand he was offering to the teal-head earlier, grabbed his bag and turned. "I'm going home." He mumbled and stormed out.
"You pissed him off, Aominecchi!" Kise panicked.
"Don't worry," Midorima murmured and grabbed a fries from Akashi's untouched left-over. "Sometimes prideful guys need to learn how to be hurt."
~LFMH021~
"Oi, Satsuki, that's mine!" Aomine complained as he tried to grab the sundae the pink-head beside him stole.
"No way! It's mine!"
"It's mine!" He growled.
As he continued his argument with their team's manager, he couldn't help glancing at a certain blonde who was having a conversation on his phone.
"Waaah! No way, senpai! Yes, yes, I'm coming since I owe you one." A smile came out of his lips. "Thank you, senpai."
Kise sighed and looked back at him, which made him feel awkward.
What surprised him was when the latter looked away and took his bag. "Something came up. I need to go. Bye!" He bade and ran out of the Fast Food Chain. His eyes never meeting Aomine's again.
"That senpai of his must be so special." He mumbled and frowned.
~LFMH021~
Kise was happily eating his burger when his phone suddenly rang in his pockets. He took it out and went to a corner to answer it. "Hello?"
"Oi, Kise, it's Kasamatsu. Did you forget your promise?! We're supposed to buy some club things today, remember? Do you really want me to leave you guys? Fine, I will give my full attention in—"
"Waaah! No way, senpai! Yes, yes, I'm coming since I owe you one." He interrupted and smiled. "Thank you, senpai."
The other coughed. "SHUT UP, IDIOT! COME HERE QUICKLY!"
And then the dark-head hung up. He turned and found himself cornered by Aomine's dark eyes. He stared back in surprise. And tried to comprehend what the other would be thinking.
Stupid Kise Ryouta.
He's just curious.
That's when he averted his gaze and bade goodbye. Grabbing his bag, he ran quickly out of Magi Burger.
When he's out of Aomine's eyes, he finally started sobbing.
I can't do it after all. I can't stop loving him.
~LFMH021~
"Oi, Takao, isn't that Midorima?" One of his companions exclaimed and pointed at a certain direction.
He quickly turned and found his green-head partner inside the Magi Burger with three more people. "It is Shin-chan." He mumbled.
Midorima said something and glared at the violet-head across him.
The other responded, which made him blush a little.
"He looks happy." He murmured.
After awhile, the miracle shooter blinked and turned towards his direction and since the Fast Food Chain's walls were made with glass, they could see each other clearly since he was just meters away outside.
He held his breath.
But Midorima frowned and looked back to Murasakibara.
He made a forced laugh. "Stupid Shin-chan."
And stupid Kazunari.
Quit dreaming.
He turned towards his companions and faked a grin. "Let's go!"
~LFMH021~
He sipped his coke and then looked across him. "Murasakibara, stop doing that."
"Doing what?"
"Nibbling your lollipop like that."
"Why? Is it bad?" The violet-head nibbled his lollipop again.
"It looks dirty." He grunted, blushing.
"Eh~?" The center complained.
He sighed and felt something strange. He turned to his left and found Takao outside with his new friends. Friends he had never seen before. Friends Takao never mentioned.
Why would he mention them to you?
Who are you to him anyway?
He frowned and turned back towards Murasakibara. "Stop doing that."
"No."
Stop being stupid.

"It actually surprised me that you chose to accompany me today, Tatsuya." Alex commented as she shopped with Himuro, who was smiling since earlier.
But she knew that smile.
It was fake.
"What do you mean?"
"Where's the giant?" She emphasized.
Himuro's smile suddenly vanished and she was sure she just hit a landmine. "He didn't call me even once this Spring Vacation."
"Why?"
"I don't know. We're not really that close." He lied.
"Oh? Tatsuya, you're lying." Alex accused. "What really happened?"
"I…I pushed him away. I don't know why, but I just suddenly pushed him away. And now, even if I try to, he won't come back." He murmured.
Alex started talking, but he didn't listen. He couldn't listen. His mind was flying elsewhere.
It's all my fault.

"Muro-chin?" He called out.
"Don't come near me." His partner snapped.
"Eh? But why—"
"Just don't. I don't want to see your face right now. Please leave me alone."
"Demo—"
"Go away, Atsushi. Leave me. Get out of here."
He blinked. "Alright." He mumbled. "Thank you for everything~" He murmured and slammed the door behind him.
"Stupid Muro-chin." He grunted and frowned. "Stupid, stupid Muro-chin. I hate him."
Do you?
"I hate…I.."
I can't hate him.

Akashi called a cab and went in the backseat. After saying the direction towards their mansion, he slumped into his seat and stared outside. His eyes widened when he passed through Kagami and Kuroko, who were walking on the pavement.
I hurt you once.
I won't do it twice.
So please, come back.
~LFMH021~
Kuroko raised his head as a can passed through them. He knew those eyes from anywhere, but he didn't dare look away.
I'm sorry.
I loved you once.
I'm not doing it twice.
A/N: And that's the end of my newest KNB Fanfic ever. I hope you liked it.
Yes, see? See? See?
They're both hurt. They're both broken.
Because sometimes, not everyone gets his happy ending.
