A/N: Hey y'all. Haven't written a fic in forever. Started this one at the airport on my way to college. Looked it over again today and realized it isn't so bad, so I thought "Hey, I'll post it, why the hell not?" Already got the second chapter halfway done. I'll try to get these chapters out in a timely manner. I'm really impatient sometimes so chapters might not always be particularly long, but I'll do my best to write the longest chapters I can muster. Warnings: yeah, this'll get smutty in due time. The beginning is mostly...stirrings...but it'll get hot and heavy at some point and then a little angst-y and then maybe fluffy? We'll see. Also, language. Probably some references to other pairings. Or, naw. Enjoy!
Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and
through
then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
because you're near me and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
- Dido, Thank You
"Hey! Bakagami," a voice calls from the court.
Kagami turns, frowning deeply at the blue haired asshole known as Aomine Daiki, or as he likes to call him "Ahomine."
"What?!" he shouts back.
"I'm bored. Play with me."
"You sound like a three year old, Ahomine."
Aomine flicks off the redhead, but he doesn't seem particularly angry. "Come play with me," he repeats.
Kagami breaths out sharply through his nose. He wants to say no. He really, really wants to say no, but…"Yeah, ok fine. For a little while." He just can't resist. It's the beginning of winter and he's currently freezing his ass off and going no where in particular so there's really no reason to refuse.
Aomine throws him the ball. It's warm from Aomine's hands. "Gross. How are your hands so warm?" Kagami yells, dribbling quickly to avoid the residual heat on the ball.
"I've been playing for a while." He responds, shifting into place in front of Kagami, ready to defend.
"Alone?"
"Yeah." He makes a face. "People don't want to play with me."
Kagami tries to get around him while he's talking but he knows Aomine is too good to be distracted. They could have a whole conversation and still maintain focus on their game. "Yeah. No shit."
He dribbles left; Aomine gracefully steps into place in front of him, defense currently impenetrable. For someone so massive he moves like a fucking ballerina when he wants to. "What's that supposed to mean?" Aomine demands, or not demands, more questions with only mild interest.
"You're scary as hell," Kagami responds flatly. "Maybe if you'd stop making that face…"
"What face?"
Kagami turns around and shoots. He misses. Aomine takes possession of the ball. Kagami starts thinking about how warm Aomine's hands must be and the shudders internally because he actually thought that. He feels like he needs to wash his brain or something. "That one. The one your making now."
"This is just my face," Aomine says, looking slightly puzzled.
"Yeah, I know."
Aomine frowns. Kagami grins at him and "a little while" somehow turns to hours.
They've both shucked their jackets, sweaty and hot despite the cold weather. Neither one seems ready to give up until Kagami stomach growls rather insistently.
Aomine looks genuinely startled by the sound. "What the shit? Sounds like you ate a tiger."
Kagami turns red. "Fuck you. I'm hungry."
"Yeah, I can hear that. Let's get some food."
Kagami wants to tell him that while he does want to eat food, and lots of it, he doesn't want to do it with Aomine, but his stomach growls again and he realizes that's not entirely true anyway so he says, "Where to?"
They end up in an ice cream parlor and Kagami looks at Aomine like he's more insane than usual. "Um, it's winter," Kagami feels the need to point out.
"Yeah."
"It's cold out."
"Yeah."
"Why the fuck are we in an ice cream parlor?"
"I'm hot. I want ice cream," Aomine explains.
Kagami's stomach growls again, even louder this time. Aomine looks like he wants to laugh but he shakes his head and keeps it in. "Look, this is the best damn ice cream joint and I want ice cream and they have hot fudge sundaes."
"What was that?" Kagami's mouth waters at the prospect.
"Hot. Fudge. Sundaes."
"Yeah, ok, I'm down."
They walk up to the girl at the counter and immediately have all of her attention. She visibly shifts into flirt mode, though she seems unable to decide which one of them she actually wants to flirt with, not doubt overwhelmed by the amount of tall handsome basketball player in the shop."What can I do for you two?"
"Two hot fudge sundaes," Aomine orders for them.
"Actually they're pretty big. People usually split them."
Kagami smiles in a way he assumes is charming. Aomine nearly chokes with laughter at the attempt. "Don't worry. We can finish them. In fact I think I'll have two."
"Two?!" the girl looks shocked. Aomine looks vaguely impressed. If the volume of his stomach growls are any indication of how much he can eat, he doesn't doubt Kagami could finish two, if not three, on his own. "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely," he grins. The girl blushes bright red.
"C-coming right up," she stutters, obviously set a-fluster by his smile. Aomine fakes throwing up and Kagami smacks him on the arm.
She produces three of the most amazing looking things Kagami has ever seen. He feels himself tear up. He grabs his and all but sprints to the nearest table, two spoons in hand. Aomine rolls his eyes and pays for all of them. "Thanks," he says to the girl, cracking a subtle smile. The girl blushes even redder.
"Yo-you're welcome." Aomine's only regret is that Kagami doesn't get to see her reaction. Maybe he really should stop making that face and smile more. It seems to work.
Kagami is already pigging out on an incredible scale, shoveling spoonful after spoonful of ice cream and fudge into his mouth.
"I thought you were cold, Bakagami."
"I wanna eat it before the ice cream melts too much. Tastes better that way," Or at least that's what Aomine thinks he says. His mouth is very, very full at the moment.
"Manners," Aomine chides sarcastically.
Kagami pauses only long enough to mumble something that sounds a little like "fuck you," but Aomine can't be sure.
Kagami is finished with both of his before Aomine is done with his one. He pats his stomach, feeling extremely satisfied. "Ok, so…I take it back. Great idea on your part."
"What are you?" Aomine asks.
"Heh?"
"You can't be human."
"Look whose talking you giant monkey!"
"'You giant monkey?' That's the best you can do?"
Kagami frowns. "Hey…shut up."
Aomine rolls his eyes but he really wants to laugh. Kagami really is dumb, but he's dumb in a really amusing kind of way. Aomine almost likes having him around. It takes him a while to notice that he's being stared at. "What the fuck are you looking at?" he glares a Kagami.
It takes Kagami a second longer to realize he was staring…but…Aomine was…smiling just a second ago. He almost couldn't believe his eyes. He looked different when he smiled. Better. "Nothing! I wasn't staring at you. I was just thinking and happened to be looking in your direction," he lies, trying to cool the heat rising in his face.
"I didn't know you could think," Aomine replies and then he smiles again and Kagami scrapes the inside of his empty bowl to disguise his distress. Aomine has a nice smile. Like a really nice one. Nice enough that it makes Kagami uncomfortable.
"You're an asshole, Ahomine," Kagami says like he's reminding himself that that's the case.
"Right back at you," Aomine responds cooly, casually eating the rest of his sundae. Kagami tries very hard to avoid looking directly at Aomine's face until he's finishes for fear of noticing something else he likes about it.
"So, um…oh!" Kagami reaches into his pocket, suddenly remembering that Aomine paid for his sundae. "Here."
Aomine glances at the money for a second or two before waving it away. "Whatever."
"Whatever?"
"Yeah. I'm not broke, you know."
Kagami frowns. "I never said you were."
"So, I don't need your money."
"Fine! Whatever! Jeez, you're such a dick."
Aomine shrugs. "You wanna play again tomorrow?"
Kagami is stunned. Aomine just stares at him. "Are you fucking kidding me?"
"No."
"I don't get you."
"Ok. So we gonna play or not?"
"I…Fine. Ok."
Aomine gets up. "See you tomorrow." And then he leaves and Kagami doesn't even know what to do. First the smile, then the paying for his ice cream, then the promise of a repeat. It was weird and made no sense. He and Aomine were rivals, right? So why did they feel so much like friends just now?
It's another cold day but they warm up real fast. Time feels short between them. Hours slip by like minutes and before long Kagami's stomach is roaring for food. Aomine smiles. Again. The smiling thing is really not good for Kagami. At all. He wishes he would just stop and go back to being scary again. Something about the contrast between his dark skin and his white teeth is extremely pleasant to look at, but it's more than that. His eyes light up. The frown lines on his forehead disappear and he looks like a nice guy. As long as Kagami keeps reminding himself that Aomine is not, in fact, a nice guy, everything should be fine.
"Let me pick the place today," Kagami says.
"I thought you liked the ice cream place?" Aomine responds and Kagami could almost swear he sounds disappointed.
"I did! I loved it," he says way too quickly. Woah, what the hell is wrong with him? "I just…wanna go somewhere else today."
Aomine shrugs. "Whatever."
"A burger place. Shocker."
"Not just any burger place. The burger place."
Aomine shrugs.
"Wait here. I'll order," Kagami says, walking away before Aomine can argue.
"Baka," Aomine mutters and he reluctantly sits and waits for whatever it is Kagami's ordering. A few minutes later Kagami places what is perhaps the largest burger Aomine has ever seen in front of him. "What the fuck is this?"
"A monster burger."
"Fuck. This doesn't exist."
"It does and it's the best thing ever. Take a bite."
"Stop telling me what to do," Aomine says even as he takes the massive burger into his hands. He takes a bite and is completely powerless to stop the sigh of pure ecstasy that escapes his mouth. "My mouth just orgasmed," he admits.
Kagami isn't listening. He's too busy shoving what remains of his burger - his second burger - down his throat.
"That's disgusting," Aomine says, already going for another large bite.
"You're disgusting," Kagami retorts.
"You're an idiot."
"Don't call me names."
"Don't be an idiot and I won't call you an idiot."
"That's stupid."
"You're stupid." But Aomine is smiling again. At him this time. Like they really are friends. Kagami starts feeling really warm and uncomfortable again, which basically sums up how he's starting to feel around him. Warm and uncomfortable…
"Hey, thanks Bakagami. That was awesome."
"No problem."
"I've got to get home," Aomine says, getting up.
"You live far?" Kagami immediately realizes that they aren't really friends. He has no idea where Aomine lives or really anything else all that useful about him. He just knows that he's a dick who likes basketball.
"Kinda. I've gotta take the train."
"Oh, ok."
"What about you?" Aomine asks as they walk out the door.
"I'm close…my house is just past the train station actually…"
"Oh…so we're walking in the same direction."
"Yeah…" An awkward silence ensues, one Kagami is determined to push through. "So…are you and that pink haired chick dating or whatever?" That comes out wrong. He doesn't know why he asks that. If he could, he'd kick himself.
"Nah. She's not really my type."
"She's smokin' hot and has large breasts, how is that not your type?" Kagami asks incredulously.
"She's…annoying. Like a sister."
"Ah."
"Yeah." Aomine looks sideways at Kagami. "You want her?"
"What?! No." Kagami blushes. He hadn't meant it like that. He wasn't sure how he meant it, really.
"She'd probably be into you," Aomine states.
"…Really?"
"Yeah." Aomine smirks. "Because you're just like me."
"So she's into you?"
"Yeah. Won't admit it though. Says she's in love with Kuroko."
"Yeah, I remember."
Aomine waves a hand. "Whatever. She's weird."
"You say whatever a lot," Kagami points out.
"You eat food a lot," Aomine answers.
They make it to the train station before Kagami can come up with a suitable retort.
"I think I missed the last train. Gotta wait. What a pain," Aomine sighs.
"You sigh a lot," Kagami tells him.
Aomine quirks an eyebrow at him. "You state the obvious a lot."
"You use short sentences."
"Talking is a pain. You say stupid shit a lot."
"You annoy me a lot."
"Yeah. Ditto."
They're quiet for a while. They sit down on the bench, waiting for the next train. "You don't have to wait with me," Aomine tells him.
"Ive got nothing better to do. Why do you think I've been hanging with you?"
Aomine shurgs. "Where's Kuroko?"
"Out of town, I think."
"Don't you have other friends?"
"Don't you?"
Aomine is silent. "So…tomorrow then?" Aomine asks in a tone as timid as Kagami has ever heard it.
"Yeah. Definitely."
"Ok."
The train arrives and Kagami is almost disappointed to see it come.
"Bye. Bakagami."
"See ya, Ahomine."
Aomine smiles at him. Again. And Kagami takes a sharp intake of breath that he's sure Aomine must hear, but he's already halfway in the train.
Kagami walks home by himself. Wishing he were with Aomine then groaning at the fact. They really were becoming friends and maybe it could be cool. Cool. So why was did he feel so warm?
E/N: So hoped you liked it. Please please please review. I luuuurve reviews. Will post the next chapter soon hopefully. I do kinda know where this is going thankfully, so hopefully updates won't take too long. Yeah, stay tuned. P.s. aren't these idiots adorable? I just love these fucking idiots and their cute nicknames and obliviousness.
