Chapter 1: Prologue
/EDIT/ This is a rewrite of the first chapter. I looked back at the first chapter and I was like, "What?! Was I that inexperience when I started this?!" So here is the rewrite!
MUST READ!
This story is a slight AU story, but it still follows the storyline... This takes place after the Winter Cup and Seirin players and the GoM is closer friends... This is not a crossover with Tokyo Ghoul and it doesn't have a similar story. It is totally different except for the characteristics of a Ghoul and stuff like that... Get it? Ask any questions in the reviews! I'll answer in the next chapter! Now, to the story!
Disclaimer: I own nothing except for plot and OCs.
A small male figure dressed in a simple blue-striped shirt and short pants entered Maji Burger and casually walked towards the counter. Nobody noticed the young boy yet, even though his teal-coloured hair would stand out the most in Japan.
"Excuse me."
The waitress at the counter jumped at the sight of him. As usual... "Ah, Kuroko-kun." She greeted him, "The usual?" He nodded and stepped aside to wait for his usual cup of 'vanilla milkshake'. Never have he thought that this lie could fool many people. It really wasn't vanilla milkshake he was drinking, it was coffee.
Kuroko is a ghoul, and he had always been.
'This shop is special.' he thought, all of a sudden, 'So special, it's the only one in Japan.' He sighed as he grasped the cold cup in his hands and walked towards an empty table next to the window. 'Never would I have thought a group of ghouls would coexists with humans, for a living...' He took a sip out of the straw, 'Well, I am coexisting with them too, in a way...'
Maji Burger was a fast-food restaurant that serves both human and ghoul. For humans, the usual burger and drink. However, for a ghoul's order, it would be a packet of dried human meat and coffee. A snack of some sort, though it would be revolting for any human who finds out. They find ghouls disgusting creatures, scum of the earth, and Kuroko had yet to understand why. Everyone had yet to understand, not only him.
'I have to get to basketball practice tomorrow again...' Kuroko's thought trailed off as he stared at the setting sun in the distance, 'Coach would kill me if I skip...'
A tray with an unbelievable amount of burgers was set on the table and another boy sat across him. Kagami didn't realise he was there... Again.
"Excuse me." Kuroko said for the second time that day. The red haired boy jumped and his eyes were wide, while choking on the burger he was eating.
'Deja vu,' Kuroko thought of the first day when he met Kagami in the exact same spot.
"KUROKO!" He slowly sat down in the end, due to the weird stares they got from other people in the restaurant. He picked up a burger that lay in the mountain on his tray and threw it into the pale hands of Kuroko like how he does every time. He did it so many times, it became an undying habit, and he also couldn't deny the fact that his partner in basketball was as thin as a twig on a branch.
The pale boy unwillingly unwrapped the burger with a muttered 'thanks' and ate it with the best of his ability. Kuroko tried his best not to gag at the horrible taste of the atrocity in his mouth. He mimicked how a normal person would chew a burger and swallowed rather forcefully. He repeated until the whole burger was gone.
Muttering another thanks to the red-head in front of him, he tried to act as casual as he possibly could, but he was almost certain that he was a little green as he drank gulps of his coffee. From the corner of his eye, he could see the waitress behind the counter winking at him knowingly.
It took all of his will to not run to the bathroom, "To be honest, I'm having a slight stomachache." Kagami raised his eyebrows questioningly while Kuroko averted his gaze away.
"When did you last eat?"
"... This morning."
"You're too thin, Kuroko." Kagami stated while he continued to munch his burgers in record time.
"You're too fat."
"OI."
Kuroko inwardly smiled, looks like having human friends have benefits too.
However, he obviously didn't expect of what was to come in the near future which might endanger everyone.
/EDIT/ I plan to revise a few chapters, but that won't happen until... I don't know. Until I feel like rewriting my sh*tty work.
