"Where did you go yesterday?" Said Kagami, "Not that I am worried, I just got curious." and threw the ball to Kuroko.

"I just had something to do." Kuroko sent the ball to Kagami again.

Kagami raised his eyebrows. "Oh yeah, I see."

While they were practicing seriously for their next game, their teammates had other things to think about.

"Yes" said Aida Riko. "I know it, so don't order me around!" and waved her hand dismissively.

"Don't be like that, Riko-chan." Teppei said, panting heavily from the practice game they just had and drinking some water. "I just realized it, that's all."

Riko bit her nails. "What is happening with them, seriously?"

Teppei shrugged. "Who knows, they are really hard to decipher." and sat on the bench. "Aah! I'm tired!"

Riko glanced at Teppei. "Go practice, damn it!" and kicked him.

"Hahaha, I know I will!" but his laugh suddenly changed to a serious expression. "But I have to figure this out first."

"Che, Kuroko! Hold that ball, seriously!"

"I am."

Kagami scratched his head. "No, not like that. Let me show you." And took the ball from Kuroko while he was holding it like a baby.

"You understand now? Hold it properly! Bounce it! Like your life depends on it!" and gave the ball back to Kuroko.

This time Kuroko properly received the ball from Kagami. "Not my life, but" and dribbled the ball twice. "It's true that someone's life is on it." and ran forward.

"Huh?" Kagami was stunned for a second. Because he couldn't understand what Kuroko meant.

Like he thought. Something fishy happened that day.

"Like I thought. Something fishy is happening."

Kagami jumped, surprised. "Teppei-senpai?" He didn't think that someone would say exactly what he thought.

Teppei smiled like an idiot while waving his hand as a way of a hello. "Huh? Bull's-eye?"

Kagami recovered himself quickly. "No, nothing's happening." and ran after Kuroko.

"Running away, huh..." Teppei scratched his nose. "That's interesting."

"You were good today."

While walking in silence, Kagami broke it with a compliment.

Kuroko nodded his head, embarrassed "Thanks. You helped me a lot."

Kagami turned his head away. "Well...I guess, since you are my partner."

Kuroko peeked at Kagami's face. His face was red from embarrassment, but he was trying act cool.

He sighed with happiness. "You are really good guy, you know."

Kagami leaned over Kuroko. "Oh yeah? What made you think like that?"

For a minute they only look at each other. While staring Kuroko's expressionless face, he felt his heart...wait a minute!

He pushed himself back immediately. "I guess you don't have the answer." he murmured.

Kuroko stopped suddenly. "I have, actually."

Kagami felt like someone had punched his stomach. "Yo..you have?" and gulped.

Kuroko nodded his head. "I have to tell you about yesterday- no, about a year ago actually."

Kagami, getting really tense for no reason, peeked at Kuroko's face.

'Really' he tought. 'It's impossible to say that what will he do next. Such an expressionless face.'

"Come with me." Said Kuroko, and started to walk away.

Kagami frowned. 'Really, this guy.' and followed Kuroko.

After, they took a bus and walked for about ten minutes, when Kagami suddenly stopped.

"Where the hell are we going?" and kicked a can.

Kuroko turned to him slowly "If you don't want to learn what happened that day, you can go back."

Kagami started. Because he just sensed that something is not right. Kuroko was really serious and that was making Kagami worried.

"Damn it."

'Why I am still curious about it? He said it's just his business, right? Why am I chasing after him?'

'Stop' Kagami said to himself at every step. 'Stop! Go back!'

But he couldn't keep his gaze away from that pale skin, blue hair.

*Ba dump Ba dump*

"I wonder how his lips feel."

*Ba dump ba dump ba dump*

'The wind is making his hair fly in every direction. Ah, a leaf on his neck…'

His hand reached to his neck immediately.

"Kagami-kun what are you doing?"

Kagami finds himself red-faced, panting heavily and looking at Kuroko with tense eyes.

And his hand is on Kuroko's neck of course.

He couldn't move for a second. Kuroko's eyes, that was the first time he thought he understand his expression.

"A leaf." he said with a trembling voice. While showing the leaf in his hand.

"Oh...Thank you." Kuroko nodded.

Kagami smiled like an idiot and waved his hand. "It's okay!"

'What the hell?!'

'What was that Kagami?'

He still couldn't recover after that scene.

'You really touched him because of a leaf?'

'Just because of that?'

"We're here."

Kagami raised his head and saw someone playing basketball by himself at the park.

Playing so roughly, he was venting all of his anger at his ball, like he could kill someone with it.

"Why are we here, Kuroko?"

Kuroko, sitting on the bench, watched that guy playing. "I was here yesterday." he said. "With him."

Kagami thought all of his strength left his legs. "Wh-Why?" and dropped onto the bench.

"I told him we will win against him." Kuroko said.

Aomine Daiki

Kagami remembered the game they played against him. That was the first time his team lost, and after that match, they realized many things and worked hard because of it.

"That man...is very strong." said Kagami while still in deep thought.

Kuroko turned his face to him. "You think we can't win?"

Kagami jumped. "NO! Of course we will win! I promised to myself, to you that I will become the greatest player! So, of course!"

"OOH? Is that the Kagami kid?"

Kagami started as Kuroko stood up.

'He's big' Kagami thought, it was no different from that time they had the match.

But he never let Aomine win of course. "YO! What's up?" he mimicked Aomine's expression.

"Fine..."Aomine raised one of his eyebrows. And quickly leaned over Kuroko. "I thought you said farewell yesterday." And he started to laugh. "You can't leave me, after all."

"No" said Kuroko with a calm face. "I just wanted to have Kagami see what will happen if he leaves his team behind." and turned to Kagami. "You see, you become like this."

"Ooh, I understand" said Kagami with a teasing voice. "It's really troubling."

Aomine's eyes snapped opened filled with great rage for a second, but he made a quick comeback with an evil smile.

"You know, Kuroko... you don't have to show me to him, there's no way he'll become me." and he pulled Kuroko to himself.

"Stop!" Aomine held Kuroko behind his back and kissed his neck. "There is no way he can satisfy you." He whispered with a tempting voice. While looking at Kagami.

Kagami thought he died in that minute. He thought about a million things at the same time, starting to tremble.

Aomine smiled "Ooh, don't tell me, he didn't know that...you were my bitch for a year?"

"Wha...?"

"Stop it, Aomine!" Said Kuroko while trying to get away from him. "You are going too far."

"Oh, really..." He licked Kuroko's ear. "I can do it more, you know. Like we did in the past." His hands went to Kuroko's bum. "I can lick you all over and enter with my you here."

"Shut u-"

Aomine was smiling overjoyed, "And you can moan again. Ah! Aah! Aah! Hahaha"

Kuroko was trying desperately get away but Aomine was too strong for him.

"Aah, he is good you know, when he's panting like a woman and he moans like a virgin when you lick his belly." Aomine said while squeezing Kuroko's bum.

And after that, Kagami remembered only thing.

He punched Aomine, getting Kuroko away from him.

And kissed Kuroko's lips.

Like he dreamed about almost every night for a very long time, now.

In his dreams, he kissed his lips gently first, and then it became intense, their tongues meeting while he touching his pale skin.

But reality was totally different.

In an instant, he held his thin body and smothered his lips. His tongue roughly went in and turned in Kuroko's mouth. He did it until he gave out all of his breath.

And then released him.

He didn't look at Kuroko's face, he couldn't. But he saw that Kuroko's arms were trembling, and he wasn't moving at all.

While his ears were buzzing, he still managed to hear "Kagami-kun..."

"What are you doing?"

He clenched his trembling hands while keeping his eyes on the ground.

" ...ve you..."

He raised his head,

"I LOVE YOU, DAMMIT!" and ran back as fast as he could.

"Hehe..." Kagami smiled bitterly and licked his lips, salty from his tears "It's all over now."

"This time...I lost everything."
