Kise wiped the tears off with the back of his sleeve, finally calming down. Momoi-san sat across from him her eyes showing her concern. She reached over and touched his hand gently,

"Ki-chan, you wanna tell me what's wrong?" She said, her voice soft and tender, as if any loud sound would break Kise.

Through short breaths and his hicupping, he managed to answer,

"I-I think Aominecc-(sniff)chi is ch-cheating on me"

What?

"Ki-chan, Dai-chan would never-"

"Well he did Momoi!" Kise yelled.

Momoi was taken aback. Kise had never raised his voice at her, at anyone.

Kise sighed, and held her hand tight, "I'm sorry Momoicchi. I didn't mean to yell, it's just.." and tears started to stream down his cheeks again.

Momoi slipped out of her seat and sat next to him, pulling him into a tight hug, ignoring the people staring at them.

She rubbed his back and asked quietly, "How do you know?"

Kise straightened up and wiped aways his tears,

"I found underwear in his hamper this morning that doesn't belong to him"

Momoi's eyebrows shot up, and Kise laughed softly.

"We always name our underwear so we don't get mixed up on which boxer belongs to whom. But this one, it didn't have anyone's name on it"

Momoi put squeezed his hand tightly, "Maybe Dai-chan bought a new pair without telling you"

Kise nodded, not convinced. "Yeah, maybe. He's been avoiding me for days now. He's always on the phone, and whenever I ask who it is, he changes the subject"

Kise looked down, his breathing started to quicken, making Momoi think he was going to cry again. But then he raised his head and continued,

"Aominecchi never keeps secrets from me. Never. At first, I thought that it was nothing, I only started to think he was cheating on me since yesterday, he came home at three. In the morning. And he didn't even bother to explain where he had been, he just got into bed and fell fast asleep."

Kise paused to get a drink of water before continuing in rage,

"And this morning, he skipped out early so I didn't even get the chance to talk to him! That bastard!"

Kise groaned loudly and put his head in his large hands. Momoi could tell he wasn't crying anymore, just frustrated.

"Ki-chan, do you want me to talk to Dai-chan?" Momoi said, putting her arm around his shoulders.

He nodded solemnly, sighing loudly before looking at her.

Momoi had never seen Kise look like this before. Even when they were in high school, he had never looked as upset as he did now. His eyes were red and tired, like he was lost. She couldn't help but wrap her arms around him again and tell him that everything was going to be alright.

Dai-chan, I'm going to kill you.

Kise had gotten home pretty late after his meet-up with Momoi, he kept replaying what Momoi had told him before they left,

"Ki-chan, I'm going to talk to that ganguro, but I think you should also confront him. I'm not saying that he will confirm it, but just brace yourself for the worst"

Kise felt like crying again, as he dried his freshly shampooed hair, wondering what he had done wrong. He closed his eyes and tried to think of something else, but his mind always kept wandering back to Aomine's smile.

That bastard.

He checked his watch, 11.20 PM. Aomine wasn't home yet, and Kise was starting to get restless. Just as he was about to call Aomine and tell him to come home, his phone buzzed, and Aomine's name lit up the screen.

"Kise, can you pick me up at my office? My car broke down and I'm too lazy to walk home"

Kise stared at his phone in awe, and suddenly yelled loudly at no one in particular, calling Aomine every name in the book. But even as he was calling him an insensitive dick, he had already shrugged on his jacket and grabbed his keys, out the door in 2 minutes.

Kise pressed the elevator button, waiting for the elevator doors to open. Aomine's office was in down town Tokyo, it was still lit up even though it was already late.

As the elevators slid open, Kise heard rustling behind him, but when he turned around, there was no one there. He shuddered and quickly stepped inside the elevator and shut the doors.

As soon as the elevators doors slid open on Aomine's floor, he spotted Aomine, talking to another guy.

A really hot guy.

Kise stormed towards them, not able to contain his anger.

"DAIKI!" He yelled at Aomine, using his first name to show how serious he was.

Aomine turned to him, and a smile appeared on his face,

"Hey Ki-"

He was cut short with Kise shoving him against the wall, and grabbing his collar.

"Are you cheating on me? Cause if you are just tell me, don't fuck with me Daiki!" Kise growled at Aomine, tears already streaming down his face.

Aomine looked at him with bewildered eyes, and slowly pried Kise's hands from his collar. He pulled into a hug, and stroked his hair,

"Hey, what are you talking about?" He asked softly, and he waved at his friend who had left awkwardly.

Kise clutched tightly at Aomine's suit and whispered quietly, "You came home so late last night, and-and I found someone else's box-boxers in the laundry hamper"

Aomine let Kise go, and took a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped away Kise's tears. Kise thought he would deny all his assumptions, kiss him, and take him back home. But when Aomine spoke again, he asked,

"Do you know what time it is?"

Kise couldn't hide his annoyance, "What are you talking about?"

Aomine rolled his eyes, "Just answer the question"

Kise didn't know why he obeyed, but he checked his watch before looking Aomine in the eyes, "11.55 PM. Now tell me, are you cheating on me or not?"

"Perfect" Aomine said, the grin he wore suddenly pissing Kise off.

11.56 PM

"I just asked you a question, Baka. If you are, please, just tell me. Put me out of misery." Kise said, his voice tired and desperate.

11.57 PM

"Wait, one more question" Aomine said, putting a finger to Kise's lips.

Kise rolled his eyes and mumbled against Aomine's finger, "What?"

11.58 PM

"What's the date today?" Aomine asked, as he lifted his finger from Kise's lips, and took his hand.

Kise thought for a second, before answering, "Um, June 17th 2022"

11.59 PM

Kise hadn't realized that Aomine had pulled led him to the door of his office. Aomine looked at him and grinned,

"Exactly", as he pushed the door open.

00.00 AM

"SURPRISE!" Everyone in the room yelled. Aomine's office was filled with different coloured balloons and streamers decorated the walls. There was a huge banner hanging from the wall that read

"Happy Birthday Kise!"

Every corner of the room was filled with all of Kise's favorite people. There was the entire Kaijou team from high school, and he could see Midorima standing next to Takao. Akashi, Murasakibara, and Himura we're lounging on Aomine's desk. Momoi-san sat with near the window, holding Number Two in her arms.

Aomine put his arms around Kise's waist and mumbled against the blond's hair

"Happy birthday, you idiot"

Kise turned around to look at Aomine, tears filling his eyes. "Aominecchi..."

Aomine just grinned widely, and leaned down to kiss him. The kiss was soft and brief, but it left Kise breathless and blushing. Everyone cheered and whistled as Kise buried his face in Aomine's chest.

"Where the fuck is Tetsu? He was supposed to bring the cake half an hour ago" Aomine said loudly, his eyes searching the room.

"Hello" Kuroko said as he entered the room with Kagami, who was holding a massive white box.

"Where have you been? The guest of honor got here before the cake did!" Aomine said, as he let go of Kise to ruffle Kuroko's hair.

Kagami was the one who answered as he playfully pushed Aomine away from Kuroko, "We came here on time, it's just that you and Kise we're standing in the hall way for too long. If we went up, Kise would've seen us. He almost did, too!"

"Wait, were you guys the ones who in the lobby when I was waiting for the elevator?" Kise asked

Kuroko nodded, "Kagami is not very good at the whole sneaking around thing. He fell and made some papers fall behind the receptionist's desk"

"Shut up Kuroko! Not everyone has misdirection!" Kagami said to him, putting Kuroko in a headlock.

Everyone laughed, and pretty soon the party was in full swing. There was cake, beer, and all of Kise's favourite foods. Everyone wished him a happy birthday, even Number Two gave him a "Happy birthday" lick on the cheek.

He spotted Aomine and Momoi talking to each other, he excused himself from the group discussion Midorima, Kagami, and Kuroko were having about who had developed most in basketball over high school. He personally didn't want to get involved.

"Momoicchi!" He greeted her with a hug and afterwards Aomine grabbed his hand and pulled Kise to his side.

"See Ki-chan. I told you everything would be okay!" She said cheerfully.

"You could've said something Momoicchi, like given me hints or something!" Kise said, protesting.

"Oh, I invited Satsuki last-minute Kise. God knows she can't keep a secret to save her life" Aomine joined in, laughing afterwards. Momoi started protesting and hitting Aomine, telling him she would tell everyone that he still wet the bed up until 5th grade.

It was 4.00 AM when Kise was in bed, Aomine came out of the shower with only boxers on and immediately came towards the bed to kiss Kise, making the blonde laugh.

"Stop, stop! You're hair's still wet!" Kise said, as he wiped the water droplets from his cheeks. He stood up and got a fresh towel, and motioned to Aomine to sit in front of him.

As Kise dried Aomine's hair, he asked,

"Aominecchi?"

"Hmmm?" Aomine answered, obviously enjoying the treatment from his boyfriend.

"Who's underwear was in the hamper? The unnamed one that I found" Kise asked.

"I bought a pair yesterday because even though we name ours, you keep taking mine so I ran out" Aomine said casually.

"What about the phone calls?" Kise asked again, plugging in a hair dryer and running his hands through Aomine's damp hair.

"That was me inviting everyone, and getting permission to use the office after hours" He said, his words starting to slur together.

"What about you coming home last night at three in the morning?"

"We were setting up the party décor. We started late and Tetsu forced me to go home earlier than the others so you wouldn't be suspicious. I guess it didn't work, eh?"

Aomine answered, as he reached around and took Kise's hand in his. He turned around and took the hairdryer out of Kise's hands, turning it off and setting it on the table.

"Anything else, baby?" Aomine asked, a small smile on his lips.

"Who was the guy I saw you with?" Kise asked shyly, looking down at his hands in Aomine's large ones.

Aomine lifted Kise's chin, meeting Kise's golden eyes with his navy ones. He said softly,

"He was part of the security team. He was asking at what time I would finish, I didn't have time to answer, because by then your hands we're already on my collar." Aomine said, and he played with Kise's hair as he added on,

"Plus he's as straight as nails, is married and has two kids, so I don't see what the problem is" He grinned at the blond, as Kise blushed and apologized.

Aomine suddenly pinned Kise to the bed, his face hovering over his boyfriends face.

"I love you. I love you so much it's like any day now, I'm gonna burst from how much I love you. I would never cheat on you. Never. My heart can only fit one person, and that person-" Aomine paused to lean towards Kise's face, their lips brushing together,

"Is you." and he kissed him.
