Hey guys, I'm re-using this idea from another story, but just a heads-up, it's going to be quite angsty so I hope you guys don't hate me.
Maybe it was the way he had walked into the classroom an entire half hour after the class began, or the way he had glided in right through the back door and sat down beside him without the lecturer sparing him a glance, but Aomine's attention is stolen, just like that.
The latecomer nudges his shoulder to Aomine's, his voice dropping down to a low whisper as he expresses his initial intention to skip class that morning, but changed his mind at the last minute because he'd thought it wouldn't be good to do that already during the first week of college. Aomine merely nods, unable to think of a proper reply except for a confused murmur of "oh, is that so?"
It isn't easy, but when class ends, Aomine turns to the boy and parts his lips, a request for the latter's name burning at the tip of his tongue. "So, what's—"
"Oi, Kuroko!"
Both of them snap their heads in the direction of the door, Aomine only so because the boy had done it so quickly and his eyes had flashed with something more than recognition. He watches Kuroko's lips tug up into a wide grin as he stands up, his chair scraping back and making the sort of screeching sounds Aomine despises.
"Kagami. Hey."
The tower of smiles saunters over and slings an arm around Kuroko's shoulders, leaving Aomine feeling like a third-wheel or a pile of unwanted bones, whichever is worse, as he dips his head in a light greeting. "Hey. Who's this?"
"Oh." Kuroko seems to finally remember Aomine's presence as he leans against his boyfriend, eyes pulling into crescents, the sides crinkling in a rather endearing way. "I'm sorry, what's your name? I swear I was going to ask, but I forgot."
"Aomine Daiki." Said male feels the syllables of his name scratching down his throat, wanting nothing but to sweep up his books and go back to the comfort of his apartment. Maybe have a cup of coffee before he naps the rest of the day away until dinner.
"Yes. Kagami," Kuroko tips his head up to press his lips against the taller boy's jaw, grinning. "This is Aomine Daiki, and he's hot. He's my new best friend."
Kagami's eyebrows lift, before the three of them burst into quiet chuckles, Aomine joining in only because he feels compelled to. There had been a clench in his chest when Kuroko had said that and he wonders if it's because he doesn't want to bear the responsibility of being a best friend, or because he doesn't want his chances to only be capped under the friend zone.
"Well then, hello, Kuroko's new best friend, I hope you know what you're getting into."
Aomine only knows that he can nod, because drama is what he hates most.
A/N: review please! ^^ hope you guys liked it. The chapters are going to be fluctuating in terms of length, because it was originally meant to be an 11 part oneshot.
