[A/N] Hi there! This is Hiro. This time, I wrote two short stories that are linked to each other. And yes, you got it right. It's AoKaga this time~

The song reference for this fic is "Stay" by Rihanna Ft. Mikky Ekko. I fell in love with this song because it contains so much angst and want. Hope you like this one.

And you may be asking why Kagami here suddenly fell in love with Nigou. Well, let's just say after some time Kagami got used to it and learned how to deal with Nigou.

Enjoy, my dear friends.

It took me a while before I recognized this feeling. This feeling I've been ignoring for god knew how long already took its toll on me. I'm not really sure how to think about it, but it came to a point that I really yearned for his touch and warmth. And now, he's leaving Japan… for good. Maybe it's too late for me to confess this feeling. But I wanted him to stay. Stay beside me... forever. It took me this moment to admit the feelings I have been hiding since I met him. I'm confessing this to you, reader.

I am Aomine Daiki, and I'm in love with Kagami Taiga.

"Kagami..." I muttered as the red-haired japanese fixed his bags. We were standing in front of the Narita Airport, along with the Generation of Miracles and the whole Seirin team. Riko was crying, sobbing in Satsuki's arms. Kuroko was standing before me. The whole Seirin couldn't help but stare at Kagami with lonely eyes. Kise was carrying Nigou... and I must tell you, the wails of the dog were heartbreaking.

"There, there." Kise patted the dog's head, but even the blonde's touch couldd not suffice the pain the animal was going through.

"Take care, Kagami." Kuroko smiled as he gave a basketball full of everyone's dedications. "We'll wait until you return."

"Yeah! I'll definitely see you in a few years." The red-haired answered. A few years? Did this idiot know that he just told us an indefinite number? My fists clenched, wanting to knock some damn fucking sense out of this man. However, Akashi held my hand and looked at me. I knew what that meant. I unclenched it and watched as the others greeted him farewell. Every word I heard were like blades cutting out my heart. How I wanted him to stay... I want him to stay.

"You've been a good player for our team, Kagami. It's hard to see you leave but I'm hoping for your basketball career to flourish in America." Teppei calmly spoke, while embracing Hyuuga who could not stop his tears from flowing. "I'll definitely see you soon... we will." He then placed a little kiss on Hyuuga's forehead and guided the captain to Riko.

"Kagamicchi..." Kise raised Nigou, and the red-haired calmly took Nigou to his arms. Nigou, on the other hand, clung to Kagami like he was his lifeline. Kagami laughed and buried his face on the dog's fur. Hell, if only Kagami knew that everyone didn't want him to leave. If only he could understand the pain we will be going through after he leaves.

Kagami was too selfish.
He was selfishly in love with basketball.
And here I am... helplessly in love with him.

It took me a moment to pick my own pieces again. Letting out a sigh, I approached the Seirin's ace. I don't fucking care if I look horrendous to everyone's sight. All I know was I needed to stay beside him. He might be the broken one but I'm having a hard time to admit that I need him to save me. I need his saving grace.

"Bakagami Taiga..." There... his beautiful name, colliding with my coarse voice danced through everyone's ears. He smiled at me as if like it was nothing to him that I looked stupid now.

"Yes, Ahomine Daiki..?" There again, his voice... so rough yet so soft in my ears... feels like a never-ending melody reaching its' end. He gave the dog to Kuroko who is standing across him.

"I... I..." The great Aomine Daiki bowed his head to this idiot. "I want you to stay."

I took a deep breath to force myself not to cry. For fuck's sake I have never cried in front of everyone in a long time. But he was an exception. And he would always be the exception.

The horror in everyone's eyes were vivid, I could feel that. Clear tears ran across my cheeks but I was able to maintain my composure. I raised my head and looked at him, straight to the eye, battling the train of thoughts inside my head. His serene face... his beautiful eyes... God forbid but I really want this man.

Kagami looked at me, and smiled. As he was about to speak the cabin attendant announced his flight details.

Kagami… say something. I thought as the latter lifted his bags and bowed his head. How dare he to defy my existence?

"KAGAMI TAIGA!" I roared, and it took me a moment to realize I have all of the people's attention. "CAN'T YOU HEAR ME? I SAID I WANT YOU TO MOTHERFUCKING STAY!"

Murasakibara took a grip on me, but I was unstoppable. Akashi did not do anything, Midorima did nothing but throw silent stares at the spectators.

"STAY... stay, Bakagami." I finally lost my shit. My voice cracked, tears endlessly falling from my eyes. "I love you so much... stay." I whimpered as the Aegis of Yosen released me from his grip.

Taiga bit his lower lip. After he threw a gaze, he closed his eyes and turned back at me. I let out a painful wail as he stepped away from me. He finally made his decision. He finally did.

All I could hear was the growling pain of letting him go resonating inside me. I stood up, wiped my tears using the back of my hands and made my way outside the airport. I did not give a shit if I hit everyone. All I know was that I need to leave the airport and mourn for the rest of my life. I was about to approach the exit when someone pulled me, pinned me down to the glass door and started kissing me. I was about to berserk when I realized those lips were familiar. Those lips… That grip… I broke the kiss and I saw an angel smiling, tears falling from his gorgeous eyes.

"I will." He spoke.
