P.S: This story is based fully on an AU world, in this AU "Generation of Miracles/Kiseki no Sedai" does not exist, thus each character have a different back story and etc.
Kise took a whiff of the cooling fresh breeze as he stood atop their school's rooftop; the wind blew against his clothing almost as if it was pushing him towards his destiny. Cherry blossoms twirled somersaults throughout the school premises, something the boy thought complimented the serene ambience quite perfectly.
On this elevated platform, Kise felt relieved and free from the constant pestering of his plagued mind. Behind his closed eyelids lay his piercing eyes- tainted with the same shimmering appeal as gold would. He dared to open his senses further allowing his eyes to roam about the scenery below; watching silently as his fellow graduates huddle together, their cheers of joy echoing the air, adding a greater appealing vibe to it.
Today, he was finally a graduate. Kise held the diploma tightly inside his hand, fearing that the provocative wind would steal it away. It was today that the boy would step out into the everything was bound to change; there was no doubt about that. The future was brighter, showering with an abundance of colors and an endless array of possibilities. Throughout his middle school years, Kise had manipulated his mindset into thinking of such a heartwarming output, always staying under the shade of optimism.
If he had really been successful in implementing such as he believed he did, why was he shaking?
Why were his past dreams filled with confusion, fear that with no doubt made him subconsciously feel the bitter taste of failure. What if this was a bad Idea? Perhaps he should have not decided to move away.
Basketball would surely still be his favourite sport, something he would always place next to his heart that and his modeling career on the other side. Nothing sustained the middle portion though, that made him feel empty and uneasy. His free hand clutches on his cardigan, that uneasy feeling- would it ever be filled?
"Aren't you holding onto that diploma a bit too tightly?"
A voice breaks into Kise's deep thought, reeling him back into reality.
"I knew I'd find you here" The owner of the voice adds, his fingers slowly pushing the door closed allowing them to converse in privacy.
"Am I that predictable?" Kise twists the diploma and stuffs it into his pocket. His lips curved into a smile, one full of relief as he recognized as to whom the voice belonged to. He leans back slightly and balances his weight on his heels before performing a twirl enabling him to face towards the other. "The ceremony was over 25 minutes ago Kagamicchi~ I thought you had a train to catch?"
Kagami took a few casual steps forward, decreasing the gap between them both before halting right in-front of the blonde. The red head had his hands buried into his pockets as he managed to sigh.
"I'll take the second train" The other male finally responds after a few minutes of silence. He pulls out one of his hands out of their hiding to scratch the back of his head. "First trains are always jammed, I'd rather not feel like some squished tuna today" He moves a step closer, kicking a pebble that was in the way.
"Or~" Kise hums playfully as he sways "Kagamicchi just wanted to spend a little more time with me~"
Kagami flinches at the blonde's sudden remark while red tints of embarrassment scatter about his cheeks "as if!" He growls before swinging his arm roughly around the blonde's neck-forcing him to crouch down as he gave him one of his famous noogies.
Kise scrambles at his place and tries to push the other boy aside. "Ouuch~! That hurts kagamicchi" He flails, struggling before his freedom was granted back. The young teen model's lips form into a pout as he combs his disheveled hair, an attempt to fix it back to how it originally was.
"Consider that my little farewell present" The taller one huffs, arms folding on his chest as he turns to look down into the environment that Kise had previously been observing. The students that we're once celebrating a few minutes ago we're now moving out of the school's gate, exiting the school and going about their own paths.
"Hey Kise" He calls, however this was completely ignored by the blonde who kept muttering complaints under his breath. These complains consisted of him going on and on about how long it took him to fix his hair this morning and only to have it tampered with by his best friend.
Scrunching his nose, Kagami attempts to try again. "Oi Kise!" the second call managed to ring through Kise's ears making him stand upright and face the other, his pout still in place.
"We'll meet again, right?"
The sudden change in Kagami's tone caused Kise to smile widely once more. As if a small portion of the weight that burdened his heart had lifted. Kise knew how Kagami was and definitely recognized the change in his attitude first before anyone else. From a wild animal, he was tamed into something more domestic. The Kagami that used to be so impulsive was now keen and that was when Kise saw past through all those muscles.
He knew Kagami was always one true on his words and one who valued his friends a lot.
Kise felt his heart thump as he lifted his fist and bumped it against the other one that eagerly waited for a response.
"Of course!" He says with extreme enthusiasm "Besides, Kagamicchi will miss me too much if I don't keep in touch" Kise teases and moves back, shielding himself for perhaps another comeback,
Kagami grinned. "Shut up!"
Several months later:
Tōō Academy
"Mhmmm" Kise nuzzles into the warmth of his arms, they would never perfectly substitute the softness of his pillow back home but they would do for now. Sleeping wasn't in his to-do list during last period and he too tried his best not to resolve to that option but it just seemed so tempting. The mixed voices around him we're slowly growing distant as he was entering dream world.
He shifted and moved closer to his left, the blinding ray of light that managed to seep through the open window settled to shine on his porcelain skin- but not even this would hinder his peace. He was far too exhausted to be bothered by something so simple.
It has been quite a rough week for the blonde; with the exams drawing nearer and his model shoots suddenly increasing at an alarming rate. He was drained.
Kise lost track of reality when his body finally lost its tenseness thus proving that it surrendered itself completely to the temptation of slumber. A smile was the last thing he managed to do before losing consciousness.
RINGGGGGGGGGGG!
He shifted slightly.
RINGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
"Mhmmg" He groans as he knits his brows together in annoyance, his once peaceful demeanor now slowly turning sour. Kise was still basking in his comfort zone; he didn't want to leave just yet. "A few more minutes" He mumbles, though it hardly classifies as clear enough to be heard.
And just like that no-one bothered to approach him or nudge him back into reality. It was as if they simply ignored him and went past the door. At a usual sense he might have been irritated with the thought of being ignored, since he actually favored it when they paid at lot of attention towards him and fret over him.
The silence slowly consumed the classroom and Kise loved every second of it. Just when the blonde thought he would once again drift into paradise an uneasy feeling settles on the bottom pit of his gut. He couldn't really decipher where it came from nor could he have an answer as to what it was. He slips one of his arms away and clutches on his stomach. It was irritating; it couldn't have been due to hunger- he was sure that he finished his bento today.
The unsettling feeling started to crawl all about his gut, it didn't cause him pain nor did it cause him any harm, it was just irritating. He huffs and scrunches his nose.
He'd felt something like this before, the feeling was somewhat familiar in a sense.
'It was during that time wasn't it?' He wonders eyes still staring right into darkness as his eyes lids remain closed to the real world. It was exactly like that time he was being stalked, that uneasy feeling of being…
"Watched" the words slipped out of his mouth the minute he thought about them, as his eyelids popped open. It was all a blur at first, a somewhat normal response emitted by his tired eyes in order for them to adjust to realities bright light. "Huh, strange… I don't remember the walls being recolored into something brown-ish. Hah! It's just like Aominecchi's skin color-"
The room suddenly turns still behind Kise's orbs, enabling him to catch the scenery clearer with each passing second. His eyes finally found the source of his uneasiness. There right in-front of him was a dazed Aomine Daiki, who had his chin rested at his palm while his eyes continued to pin the blonde. Those piercing dark blue eyes we're monitoring every movement Kise's body made, in an even simpler sense; The tanned male was focusing his whole attention towards him.
"Aominecchi!" Kise exclaims as the information was finally done processing inside his noggin. He jolts backward immediately and fumbles out of his chair. The loud thud his downfall produced echoed about the room and there was a slight chance that it would have reached through the corridors as well.
The moment Aomine's ears caught the thud he was pulled away from his long daze. He stands up at the shock of Kise's fall but sighs momentarily before he felt a bead of sweat dropping from the side of his cheek. "Oi Kise, what the hell are you doing down there? Get up" He couldn't help but find the blonde's reaction quite amusing and slightly adorable.
Aomine scrunches his nose before bending lower and reaching out to offer his hand towards the fallen blonde.
He wasn't supposed to stare at him, that wasn't really what he intended. But it just somehow ended up that way. The blue haired teen's objective was to simply toss over a small piece of paper towards the blonde but one he turns to his side he catches the model fast asleep.
Aomine was not a patient man; he was the type to skip chapters over a story just to find out if the protagonist gets laid without even paying attention to the interesting plot twists he probably missed. He actually plotted to simply kick Kise's chair and force him awake but in the middle of going with his plan he stops briefly.
At first he couldn't tell whether he was simply imagining things or if it was reality itself when at almost random a ray of light suddenly showered on Kise Ryouta's sleeping figure, and only his figure to be precise. It seemed just so out of the world like something from those Shoujo manga scenes maybe.
But it was undoubtedly real, Aomine felt his heart flip at that very moment and it was decided.
He clutched on the piece of paper and ripped it apart in order to shift all his attention towards the sleeping blonde.
"Aominecchi scared me" Kise whines playfully, his face still showing a few remnants of being sour as he accepted the gracious offer. Aomine smirks and pulls the boy back on his feet, but doesn't let go just yet.
The model dusts his clothes clean and sways his hips, grateful that there we're no serious bone injuries.
He pushes his hair back and sighs before realizing that their hands were still joined together. Kise's cheeks were splashed with a faint color of red as he bites his lip. "Aominecchi your han-"
Aomine didn't give him a head start whatsoever, he turns around and paces quickly outside the classroom, their hands still very much joined as he used this to drag the blonde out of the school.
"Aominecchi! Where are we going? My bag! It's still back in the classroom! Where are you taking meeeeeeee? Aominecchi's abducting meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~!" He continued to wail, Aomine thanked god that the school was completely rid of students at this time.
The tanned male tries to keep his calm and diverts his focus towards reaching their destination immediately. There's no time to waste and he was absolutely not letting another day pass without him finally letting his feelings burst free.
Aomine's keen eyes spot the very tree he opted to bring Kise under and increased his speed, earning more complains from the boy just behind him. But he didn't even bother to turn around and tell the boy to shut up.
The tree was nothing special, not like he expected after being explained with so many adjectives. "Tch girls, always getting carried away" He mumbles to
himself before stopping and releasing the tight grip he had on Kise's hand.
Kise wasn't as pleased as Aomine was, after all who in their right mind would simply drag a person to some place without informing him. Sure he was grateful that the other helped him up but that didn't mean he could take advantage and control the situation. "What gives Aominecchi! Why did your bring me here?"
Silence
Kise tilts his head in confusion, Aomine had turned his back at the blonde and he was unsure of what his face may have been depicting. He sighs somewhat annoyed but that soon disappears once he took a good look at where they both we're at the moment.
This tree was fairly familiar to him, it was as if he had already been here or if memory serves him right he saw two people under this very tree. He took a turn around and kept observing every detail of the masterpiece of nature- from the very tip of the branch up to the very trunk- there was no detail that was left unseen. And that was when it hit him.
That memory
This place
This tree
The significance of this tree
The name of this tree
The privacy between them both
Oh dear
He hoped he wasn't just making this entire happening in his mind.
"Kise"
He twitches at the very mention of his name, there was something different in Aomine's tone this time around and Kise was definitely aware of it.
Calm Down Calm Down Calm Down Calm Down
Surely he isn't
No…
There was no way
I thought it was just
I knew it was just
How could I
Miss that
I haven't lowered my guard
Then how
Is he
Oh my…
Kise's thoughts we're consuming him slowly and his body shook in response.
Aomine on the other hand was relieved he was facing away from the boy because at that moment even a tomato would be jealous of his face shade. He had this in the bag right? How hard could it be? But he's a guy…
But you've already made your decision now handle it like a man.
You are a man, Aomine
Then why is this happening?
His mind contradicts with itself and he soon found himself on the verge of retreating. It was easily said wasn't it, he could simply mumble an undecipherable apology and storm out, he'd done that so many times before hasn't he? Why was this really hard for him to overcome then?
Aomine sucks up all the remaining strength and courage fueled in his body and opted to turn around and make a difference.
It happened in a blink of an eye really.
Another moment they we're inches apart and now Kise found himself in a much unexpected position.
Aomine's muscled arms stretched forward as his palms were planted on the trunk of the said tree. And in between them was the young teen model, eyes as widen as the gape his lips made. He took a deep breath, ignoring the fact that his heart was drumming and that his face was steaming hot at the moment.
"Kise would you ughh" He fights the urge to throw up in nervousness "would you like to play 1 on 1 with me?" The tanned basketball player shakes his head immediately "No wait that's not it! Ugh erm.." He begins to stammer, lips obviously shaking "I mean 1 on 1 in the bedroom, No! That's even worse! Oh god dammit! How hard is it to ask you out?!" He lets out a frustrated growl as one of his arms retreat back In order for his thumb to massage his aching temple.
3… 2… 1…
Realization shot him in the head. He completely turned into the color red itself as he began to scold his own self at his sudden bluntness. This wasn't going on the way he planned, No… it was supposed to be sweet but also somewhat casual. But why was it so hard to ask Kise Ryouta to be his?
On the flip side of the coin however, Kise was practically dead.
His system automatically shut down when heard the words 'ask' 'you' and 'out' in the same sentence from Aomine Daiki to himself.
Aomine Daiki, the person he secretly admired.
The person he admired so much it turned into infatuation.
The very infatuation then turned into something whole.
This Aomine Daiki, was the one he secretly loves.
And to hear the same Aomine Daiki confessing in-front of him
Basically professing that he returned back the love Kise would never expect he would
In the most aominecchi-est way possible
Was just so goddamn cute that Kise couldn't help but freeze on the spot
No more hesitation,
Enough of the waiting
Kise felt pearls of water flowing out of his eyes as he launches a full body attack towards the undefended male. Aomine had no idea what was happening the next moment, his eyes open to reveal that Kise was straddling his waist clumsily rubbing his falling tears.
"Aominecchi!" He wails before regaining his ability to speak. "Yes!"
Extra:
Aomine: So since we're official…when can I come over?
Kise: Eh?! Aominecchi do you have no restraaaint? We haven't even gone on a date yet!
Aomine: I'd rather have a private date with your body tonight
Kise: I've got a feeling you just wanted to get inside my pants! You're so mean Aominecchii~!
