A/N: This would be my very first fanfiction. After reading a lot lately, I've been wondering to create one for myself. First shoot would be one of the rare pairings in KnB and supposedly doesn't have images together for them (So sad). Instead, I managed to find this rare image (profile picture of the fanfiction), edited them and branded their pairing to the highest level that my digital skills can achieve, teehee. Throughout the story, there are hints of Everyone x Kuroko 'cause no one can really resist the charm of our adorable cupcake.
Initial Setting is the days before the practice match with Kaijo and Seirin.
[Disclaimer] I do not own KnB, just the plot of this fic.
Brows of Curiosity
The squeeking sound of practice shoes can be heard all over in Kaijo's basketball gym. Tall athletic individuals are running all through out the enclosed space. The basketball hoop from both sides have been swollen from their numerous shots across different positions. Well of course, the balls are still bouncing. Not that they have a choice since this is one of the golden rules of this sport.
Getting back from the scenery, a certain short spicky black hair man can't help but nod upon scanning the sweaty men playing endlessly inside the court. *Everything seems to be normal today. The daily routine for our practice has been laid out smoothly. Maybe I'll add another round for tomorrow's activity* Before another idea has yet come out from the respected man, a loud protest has gotten his attention.
"Oooouh! Kasamatsu-Senpai! Did you see my l(r)ebound just a whir(l)e ago?!", certain veins across the loud mouthed brunette's face can be seen while helplessly announcing his not-so-understandable statement. "I'm gonna get anothel(r) one-"
"Alright, alright, I can hear you just right, Hayakawa", Kasamatsu already cut his statement before he can't even contemplate another yelp of his bickering. An imaginary single sweat drop has mustered on the side of his hair as he sigh from his previous teammate.
Swoosh. Another ball went in the hoop. "How about that captain, did you see that?", a short black hair man is now the one who's asking the Kaijo captain. The said player used an unorthodox shot which throws the ball underhanded that has a very high arc and almost no rotation to the shoot.
"That was great Moriyama though I can't really comprehend your shooting style", Kasamatsu approached his colleague. "Your stance is really irregular, you should use your legs when you shoot", positioning outside the protactor styled line and only focusing for a second, then released the ball with ease. Swoosh. The ball went in, alright. "That's the regular shot when doing a three point", a calm but serious face illuminated in the captain's expression.
"Tch. Okay captain, I'll try to practice that when I feel like it", the carefree guy just wandered through the court.
"Oi, you better pon-", before Kasamatu could finish his sentence, another loud voice screeched behind his back. He almost forgot that Hayakawa was still there.
"Kasamatsu-senpai! That's unfail(r). You didn't even commented on my pr(l)ay", Hayakawa complained whole heartedly. Yes, you could also say one and a half of whole can describe his enthusiasm. Those veins from earlier are still implanted from the brunette's face, fuming with then again with enthusiasm.
"Geez, Hayakawa. Can you just please fix your tongue first. We can't understand a single word from you. And also don't always shout 'cause we can hear you loud and clear", Kasamatsu really thought this is really a normal day. Then, another tall guy moved towards him.
"Calm down, Sempai. That's not of the importance-ssu. You should hear what I'm about to say.", a tall blond handsome man patted his back. Though from some unknown reason, a very large vein shaped like a four-way snowflake has rooted in Kasamatsu's forehead. Actually, everyone in the room knows the reason for his sudden irritation. And so the captain blurted it out.
"Oi, Kise. Don't you say calm down on me. Where have you been outside our practice?" Before the blond could make his reply. Another nag has been delievered. "I don't care if your a miracle or what. But if you're not gonna attend our practice, I can remove you from our team right this instant. You know I'm still the captain of this team."
Not minding the serious declaration, Kise just gleefully brushed it off. "Hehe.. Sorry, Sempai. Please forgive me, okay? I promise not to do that again." Kasamatsu looked back at their ace who has his hands clasped in a Virgin Mary form and asking for an apology. He could imagined the blond to kneel in a few more seconds so he made a quick reply.
"You better be!", Kasamatsu said with a groan. Now, he really need to calm down to regain his posture.
Breath in. Breath out.
Breath in. Breath out.
Breath in. Breath out.
Slam!
Alert! Alert! This is not Japanese lunch time rush! Repeat. This is not Japanese lunch time rush. The current rampage is caused by crazy high school girls who are fawning over one of the most popular young model in Japan, the ever dashing blond model, Kise Ryouta. From nerds to geeks, wait they're just the same. Then to chic to fashionistas, errr, they're also the same. Anyways, these variety of girls are clearly infatuated by his looks. Each one of them have their own of ways fan girling, screaming until their mouths bleed.
"Kyaaaa!" *Nosebleed.
"Kise-kun!"
"Kise-kun, you're so handsome! Just ditch that practice and have a date with me!"
Outburst of pent-up laughter flowed out in each basketball player inside the court, except for Kasamatsu and Kise. The captain glared back at the model. That sure busted his not-so-sincere apology earlier. Well, he would never be a model if he didn't have the confidence. Suddenly, a radiant glow emitted in his aura after creating a stance.
"Sorry girls, but I need this practice. We need to focus for our upcoming tournament. Please cheer for me in there.", there goes the wink.
"Kyaaa!"
"Okay, Kise-sama! We'll not interrupt you. Please do your best!"
And with that, each girl calmly exited the court. At least, their normal feminity came back after that.
"Goodbye girls, please cheer for me too!", Moriyama couldn't help but say that. Nobody could utter a word of how pathetic the man was. Sure Moriyama is handsome and all but for some uncertain formula, the poor guy never has a click with girls. He never dated even one. Silence eats up the whole the court, only to be disrupted by none other than our favorite troublemaker.
"Kasamatsu-Sempaii!", the tall blond directed back to his captain.
"What is it?", Kasamatsu said.
"You know what, I've got to meet Kurokocchi again!", there goes our cheery blond and with his non stop banter. Happiness glowed all over his face. "He's still cute and all but wait, he got another light-ssu. It's so unfair. Kurokocchi even declined my offer to join our team.", Kise could only protest.
Clap. Clap.
"Okay everyone, get back with practice.", Kasamatsu declared while ignoring the blond's complaints.
"Osu-!" Hayakawa shouted.
Kobori, a rather tall and calm guy and Nakamura with his ash brown hair and rectangular glasses, could only nod from their captain. Moriyama came back to his senses and get back from his feet, following his other teammates. Although everyone is in their tracks, the blond is still pestering their captain.
Kurokocchi here and Kurokocchi there. The jet black haired captain could only mutter to himself. Sure, Kise can be loud everyday but today's agenda is different. He described the player with utmost passion, telling that he is a great asset. Not even the Copy Cat Miracle can imitate his play, is what he say.
"Can't you believe it Sempaii? His talents will rotten in that team-ssu. They didn't deserve him. He can have me, you know. And-", Kise didn't have another chance to continue. The captain's thick brows are now misaligned and ticking now with anger.
"Shut up, Kise! Get back to practice before I've changed my mind earlier", an angry Kasamatsu shouted.
"But Kurokocchi-", Kise protested.

Meanwhile..
In a local fast food chain, ever known as Maji Burger wherein they serve not only burger, a cute but no so loud hakashun was heard in one of tables of the aforementioned restaurant.
"Achoo!", a certain teal haired boy sneezed right in front of his companion while sipping his ever delighted Vanilla shake.
"Oi, Kuroko. That's your seventh time to sneeze in my harmburgers!", a muscular red headed thick browed split into two kind of guy complained.
"Sorry, Kagami-kun. Don't worry, I'm not sick. I think someone remembered me", his hunch couldn't even be more accurate and for it to happen many times.
Kagami examined his newly found friend and thought how pale as white is his skin. This boy in front of him needs more nutrition in his body. How will his partner survive the training menu of their tomboy coach with that kind of stature. How will they conquer Japan if his body couldn't make at least their practice. Ugh. So many thoughts came up in his mind. Without any second thoughts he grabbed one piece of food from his palace of burgers and handed over it to him.
"You know Kuroko, you should eat more. I can't take it if you're only having that shake.", Kagami said with a worrying voice. Instead the bluenette declined and pointed to the other hamburger.
"I think I'll prefer that Kagami-kun. The one you're offering is something I sneezed at earlier." deadpanned as ever, Kagami just snorted. Ignoring his rude statement, he just complied with his partner's choice.
"Thank you, Kagami-kun", a sweet smile was release by the petite boy. Kagami just painted a faint blush in his face.
*Geez, at least he's cute when he made that face.*
Kagami thinks that he's lucky to see that expression since the boy in front of him always wear that expressionless face. Before he could have savored the moment, Kuroko began eating his hamburger and came back with his blank facade while sipping with his favorite solution. With that, Kagami went back from his train of thoughts.
"Geez, whatever. Just finish that and let's go home. Remember we have a match coming up" Kagami said. Remembering what happened in an earlier event, the red head speedingly devoured the remaining junk foods on the table.

"Don't worry, Kasamatsu-sempaii! You'll meet Kurokocchi in just a few days," Kise giggle after saying that. "I'm sure, you'll like him too." With that, the tall blond proceeded with his teammates with full of excitement.
Blang!
A dunk from their ace astound the whole court.
Just who the hell is this Kurokocchi. It's now the captain's turn to fall into deep thoughts. *Someone that I would like? Does that brat even mocking me?* Not that he has experience romance. He knows that he completely stutter to girls that he like and end up ruining the mood. Even then, he dedicated his time to the sports that he liked and forget about that love crap. For now, he ignored the blond's statement and joined his team's practice.
Next piece: Kasamatsu meets Kuroko
A/N: By the way, italized expressions enveloped with an asterisk signifies the inner thoughts of the current character in action. Well, this is also my first time to write a story with my own will. Please spare with my English 'cause only this so-called fanfiction perked my interest. Stupid punctuations, I think misused some. I never read any novel or any books that can enrich your vocabulary skill. I'll just cross my finger if anyone can land a review and share their thoughts. I've only started a few days ago to register in this site. Thank you for dropping by if ever.
