Note: I was planning this for a long time already. I am really happy I managed to do it, so thank you for reading.

We were born to meet.
Nothing is left to chance.
I.
Kagami approached the office at the back of the big and noisy room with a determined step. He stopped in front of the door and knocked lightly before opening it.
"I am sick of all your blunders!"
Barely in, he was greeted by a strong draft. He remained motionless for a few seconds, stunned by the violence with which the mature man behind the desk was screaming and also surprised that nothing was hear from the outside.
He eventually entered the office, unnoticed by its two occupants. He stood to attention right beside the door, waiting for the man in question -who had to be none other than the captain-, to notice him somehow.
"You put the mission at risk, you sent three of my men to the hospital, you screwed me up an administrative building of the highest importance, you made me lose track of the biggest drug dealer in the city, only to bring me back, in poor condition, the untouchable leader of the local underworld and now, you no longer have a teammate! What am I going to do with you?"
Kagami could not turn his eyes away from the fascinating face, torn with anger, of the captain. All his nerves were clearly visible and he was evidently on the verge of break up.
The red hair looked at the scene with eyes half-closed, without interrupting.
"Aomine, Aomine," he repeated as he dropped into his chair. Once seated, he put his hand to his chest, squeezing his clothes. "Aomine, you're going to kill me ... I swear that you're going to kill me."
Then the man in front of the captain, undoubtedly the one referred as Aomine, nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders. Kagami rolled his eyes in his direction and threw a first glance on him.
Tanned complexion, short navy blue hair, he immediately attracted all of Kagami's attention. He had his back turned, dressed in casual clothes as some few people in the police station and hands crossed behind his back. He was about the same stature as the red hair, or slightly taller and also more muscular with his broad shoulders.
"How many times should I tell you not to take this job for a game? Huh? How many times? My men are not your dolls! What were you thinking this time? Why did you act so recklessly?"
The captain kept shouting, waiting a word or a gesture from the other man which could ease his anger.
Aomine finally moved. He ran a hand through his hair, the other taking place on his hip. Kagami observed his nonchalant gesture, not missing the elegance that escaped from it.
He scratched the back of his neck and looked away from his captain, but it was not enough for Kagami to see his face.
"Errmm... it was you who told me you wanted the head of this guy at all costs, right?"
Hoarse, sensual, stinking arrogance and rebellion, Aomine's voice slid on Kagami's body, leaving plenty of thrills. The redhead gave himself a mental slap and blinked. He was not expecting to hear him speak with such arrogance, sarcasm and so little of guilt, especially not after what the captain said.
The face of the latter blushed like a tomato; he banged his fist on the table and stood up. "Aomine, damn it, I've had enough! I will talk to you later; now get out of my office before I rip your cocky ass!"
Aomine shoved his hands in his pocket and took a few steps back. He turned toward Kagami who was still at the door. The red hair could finally put a face on the daredevil.
And it caught him off guard.
Certainly, his sexual orientation has always given him some inclination to appreciate the other males more than anything else, but a handsome guy like that could undoubtedly change even a vaccinated straight guy. He would have bet on it.
Damn, the guy looked so arrogant, untouchable, despicable and fuckable in the same time. But it suited him, totally and Kagami was fine with that.
Aomine looked up at him and raised a surprised eyebrow. He removed the smirk on his lips and paused for a moment, taking a close look at Kagami. "Captain..." he called huskily, smirking again, a bit of amusement in his tone. "You have a visitor!"
"Aomine, I said get out!" the man growled behind him.
Aomine giggled before muttering a "Good luck." to the red hair and then brushed past him.
Kagami had to take a few minutes to recover from the short play of those goddamn lips and to get rid of the thrills their contact threw all over his body.
He noticed the badge on Aomine's neck. He shifted to look at him through the office's windows as the sexy man withdrew with a feline and detached gait.
Few seconds that seemed to last an eternity.
Kagami made his decision at the moment he lost sight of Aomine, on a whim, but it could not be wrong. He was fine with it.
The captain cleared his throat and Kagami immediately turned away from the late sight.
"Sorry about all this. I wished your first day of service here to be more normal." He admitted in embarrassment. "Well, what's done is done. Safe arrival among us Lieutenant Kaa..."
Kagami adjusted his uniform and quickly approached the captain who has stretched his hand.
"Kagami, sir. Lieutenant Kagami Taiga. Please take good care of me." Kagami said with assurance.
The man nodded, satisfied. "I am pleased to meet you in person. Captain Aida, I am the chief here."
The two men shook hands and the captain sat again, huge smile on his face. "I guess where you come from, people were quite rigorous, is not it." he assumed rather than asking.
Kagami's lips cracked into a genuine smile. His neutral expression, that up now remained intact, broke to the delight of the captain. "Captain, I have to, indeed, admit that U.S. police didn't go easy on me." he commented wryly.
The captain laughed cheerfully. "Oh, I don't doubt it, I don't doubt it. I hope you will feel at home here and that you will not be disappointed, especially. I heard that you have already worked with the best, so I'll choose one of our best and most reliable men. Let me see, lieutenant Aka..."
"Ah, sir, excuse me, but it will not be necessary."
The captain eyed him from behind the paper he had just taken on his desk. He removed his glasses and stared in confusion. "Excuse me?"
Kagami abandoned his smile for a more serious and convincing expression. "It is not necessary for you to find me a teammate, if it does not bother you, of course."
The captain's confusion didn't disappear. He continued staring at the giant in front of him, still in his chair. "A-And why is that?"
Kagami's smile returned, not troubling the determined look on his face.
"Because I've already choose one myself."
