This is what happens when a KuroBasu fan watches TV and sees a wedding.

"Eh, Kuroko, you're not leaving yet? You too coach?" Kagami asked.

Kuroko shook his head.

"I will be gone for a few days, and I asked the coach if I could make up the practice time I will be absent for," he answered in his polite tone.

Kagami seemed to think something through, then pumped his fists and yelled as if to give himself a second wind. Kuroko and Aida stared.

"Fine, then I'll practice with you!"

Kuroko delicately tilted his head.

"Why?"

"Don't bother Kuroko, I was planning on having him practice with you anyway," Aida said.

"C'mon; are you serious?"

"You were about to jump in on your own anyway."

"She's right Kagami. Why are you willing to stay behind with me?"

Kagami shrugged.

"I dunno. Just a gut feeling. Like… if I don't practice with you we're gonna be out of sync or something like that."

"I see."

A whistle jolted them out of their conversation.

"Okay, stop talking and let's start training!"

Oo/oO

Hours later the two emerged from the gym exhausted.

"Gah! My legs are all burning! You alright Kuroko?"

Kuroko nodded, then stumbled before leaning heavily against Kagami.

"OW! Everything's sore! Careful!"

"I apologize."

He pushed himself back up into a standing position and crumpled to the ground.

"My legs. I do not think I can get back up."

He seemed to realize the absurdity of the situation and chuckled quietly to himself. Kagami also laughed at how pitiful Kuroko looked and soon they were both laughing hard. Aida watched from the gym doors and sighed as she turned away.

"Boys."

Kagami eventually managed to pull up Kuroko and they both trekked down the sidewalk. People gave them weird stares and Kuroko realized how ineffective his misdirection was right now. Kagami was supporting him and he attracted a lot of attention, but right now his attention was focused on Kuroko and so people noticed him as well.

"So, where are you going for the next few days?"

"It is only for two days. My aunt is getting married and I was invited with my parents."

Kuroko was silent for a bit.

"My aunt said over the phone that each of her guests could bring one friend with them; I was going to not bring anyone but…"

Kagami stopped walking.

"You want me to come with you to your aunt's wedding? No offense, but that sounds freaking awkward."

"A wedding may be very enjoyable for adults, but for children it is extremely dull. I am only asking."

A sigh, some shuffling feet, and then the quiet feel of a resigned will.

"Fine, if I'm gonna have to train with you I might as well go too."

Kuroko gave a weak smile.

"Thank you Kagami. I have not met any of my relatives in many years, so they are all strangers to me."

"Really? Do they live far away?"

"Er, that's part of the reason."

He decided not to push the question any further and again, they slowly moved along the road.

AAAAAND that's the end of chapter one!
