Today, I ate Cap N Crunch cereal and I couldn't help up associate the colors of it with the GoM, I was like 'there's a lot of Kise, Murasakibara, and Midorima's in here'…and BEHOLD another chapter was written. Just a short chappy to introduce everyone and Kuroko-chan's relationship with them so far. Hope you enjoy, and as usual... a review or follow would be GREATLY appreciated.
A special thanks to all that followed, favorite, and reviewed! And thank you for welcoming me to this fandom, it make me squeal when I read the reviews and saw the follows and favorites. HUGS TO ALL OF YOU~
I thought today was going to be a pain in the neck, but so far it hadn't been too bad, I woke up made an vanilla protein shake (okaa-sans idea since she says if I'm going to be a boy then I need to bulk up more) and was going to walk to school when I found Aomine-kun and Momoi-san outside my house, that was a surprise but a pleasant one. We walked to school together and talked about basketball.
My classes were the same, but it a lot noisier than usual.
"Did you hear a model is transferring here?" The girl in front of me squealed.
"Yeah, he tried out for the basketball team a few days ago, he was soo hot." The girl diagonal from me fanned her self.
A model that likes basketball? I'd like to see that.
"Model-san, the ball." Aomine-kun yelled as he passed the ball to him.
"I got it you guys!" Model-san jumps graciously, sweat sparkling like stars then…"Ow…I broke a nail! This is totally going to affect my career!" He mused over his hand whole holding the ball.
"Tch. Dead weight." Sei-kun shoves him out of the way, and steals the ball from him.
Just then the purple giant stumbles on him on the way to defend Sei-kun.
I had to bite my lip to stop from laughing so hard. That was so random.
"Ano…who are you talking about?" I asked.
The two girls continued talking, I sighed, my lack of presence is a gift but it can get annoying…
"ANO…"
"Huh?" The girls said in unison and jumped up and screamed. "GHOST!"
I chuckled a bit, Aomine-kun thought I was ghost too when we met a few weeks ago.
"W-wasn't that an empty desk?! Who are you?" One girl asked me.
"Kuroko Tetsuya, nice to meet you both." I nodded to be polite.
"Oh…well, there is a model by the name of Kise Ryota coming here!" The other girl's eyes seemed to sparkle. This Kise Ryota must be very handsome.
"And he plays basketball here?" I asked.
"Yeah, and he's transferring today! " They jumped in glee together, and I left them to it.
Hm...strange, a really buff closet pervert, a bipolar closet psychopath, a purple giant that closet likes basketball, a glasses wearing broccoli head that is a closet superstition believer, and now a male model? What a mix…
Class was almost over and then I had basketball practice. I got dressed into my practice clothes and headed to the court where I met up with my fellow third string members.
I wearily looked around and no sight of Sei-kun anywhere…good. I figured he'd at least approach me, but it is true what they say, he keeps his personal and basketball affairs separate, it would seem that I'm safe.
"IT'S NOT WORKING! He's still coming!" Broccoli head's voice echoed in the gym as he barged through the double doors, following him the rest of the elite. Why are they in this gym?
"Ow~My ears Midorimachin." The purple haired giant said flatly.
"I-I thought if I carried this charm, it'd help keep the Gemini out until student council can pull enough people for a blockade." He looked to a charm like it personally betrayed him.
"Of course, he'd still be coming! No stupid charm or lucky item is going to keep him out! Because Akashi said that he had to attend practice today!" Aomine shouted.
"It's not my fault he doesn't know how to tell his fans to go away. We have a game in a few weeks. I won't allow any missed practices just because some girls want to ogle over a pretty face." Sei-kun defended, I was behind the purple giant so hopefully he won't see me.
The reason I know Murasakibara-san is he keeps tripping over me in the halls claiming that he couldn't see me, then he'd give me some chips as an apology without actually saying sorry. Otherwise, it was just his opinion of basketball that I knew him from. He seems like he'd be fun to hang out with but I wouldn't describe him as 'nice', he has his moments, I'm sure he has a reason for being so callous.
"Shintarou, if you think you can stop the flood, be my guest. But if you fail, not only will you have failed me as a vice-captain but your training will triple. Don't disappoint me. Daiki and Atsushi, go practice. I will be watching all of you. So no slacking, or else." Sei-kun made his way up to the top of the bleachers and stared down at all of us, I scooted so that Murasakibara-san was blocking me since he hadn't move from eating his chips.
"Atsushi! PRACTICE!" Sei-kun yelled.
"Hai~" he said monotonously. "Nee." Murasakibara-san handed me his chips.
"Oh, thank you." I used the chips to block my face, but I could still feel Sei-kun's eyes on me.
"DAI-CHAN! A mob of girls are coming! What do we do?" Momoi-san yelled looking as a typhoon was coming.
"Well. We're screwed." Aomine-kun sighed.
Broccoli head pushed up his glasses and switched to a serious demeanor.
"Very well, I will not fail." He pulled out his phone. "Horoscope. Cancer. Cancer. Cancer." His eyes flickered on the screen quickly. "Cancer's lucky item is…an aquarius?! Wha_no. Though I disagree that a person is an item, the horoscope has never failed me." A dangerous glare was directed at the 2nd and 3rd string players.
"Line up! By your horoscope sign!" he demanded.
"What if_"
"FIND OUT!" Broccoli head yelled, he seemed like the calm and collected type, but he seemed really flustered. The group scattered into two groups, one having only two and the rest in another, well except me of course, such a strange occurrence.
"You two what are your signs?" Broc_Oh…that is rude, even if it was in my head. Midorima-san pointed.
"Virgo." They answered.
"And the rest of you are cancers?!" He shouted in surprise. I was surprised as well, what a coincidence! "The horoscope did say it was a bad year for cancers…" He shuddered.
"Aren't you a cancer too?" Someone commented.
"Yes, if I wasn't, I wouldn't be in this situation, would I?" He pushed up his glasses, I could see the sweat fall from his forehead, as Sei-kun was watching him. "N-no! Aquari?"
"You could've just asked that in the first place!" Aomine commented from the other side of the court, it's amazing how he can shoot without looking!
"Naturally, it was for future reference. Ahomine." He snapped, I didn't like saying this but I can't think of any of other way to phrase it, but when Midorima speaks he sounds like a smartass.
"Tetsuya's an Aquarius." Sei-kun said from the top of the bleachers, he sounded amused.
"Huh?" I practically jumped at the sudden volunteering, and I guessed that made me visible, because I found myself in the glare of glasses.
"Is that true?!" He took a hold of my shoulders and shook me lightly.
"Oi!" Sei-kun and Aomine-kun said together, they had a glare match…as long they don't mess up the court, I'm fine.
"H-hai." I nodded.
"You're name?" He asked incredulously.
"Kuroko Tetsuya."
"Kuroko-kun please, stand outside this door. If you see a pretty guy with a whole bunch of girls following tell him to lose the crowd first! Quickly!" I was shoved into a hallway full of girls and into the chest of one very handsome blonde boy.
"Shit! He's here. Run!" I heard the squeaking of shoes on the court and I was presumably left with only the first string players in the gym. And I was left alone in the hall with all these girls and a male model.
"Um, excuse me…can you_" I looked up to the blonde who looked like he was scared of me.
"No…no way…" He pushed me away from him slowly.
"What's wrong Kise-kun~!" The crowd asked as he backed away from me.
"No, not here….I can't." He looked terrified of me.
"Um…" I tilted my head to the side in confusion. "Kise-kun?"
"Ack!" He covered his mouth and ran away, his crowd of followers, following him.
"Okay…" I turned on my heels and re-entered the gym.
The first string players were doing drills already, while everyone ran from the mob of fan girls.
"I'm home." I said closing the door.
"N-no. No way! How did you?" Midorima-san opened the door to find the hall empty.
"I appeared, like I usually do." I shrugged, nothing special, I didn't do anything else, he must've thought I was a ghost.
"You can't be doing that Tetsu, scares the shit out of people, you know?" Aomine-kun scolded.
"I'm sor_"
"No need to apologize, Tetsuya, that ability of yours is the key to your success." Sei-kun passed the ball to me and I caught it easily, though it kind of hurt my hand.
"Huh?" Out of all times he could've approached me by now, he does in public, and acts like he didn't try to injure me last night, I could see Aomine-kun's concern over his usual scowl.
"It's called 'misdirection', you can't shoot but you can pass, and with that lack of presence that is a big advantage. Watch and you fill in the holes with your own ability." He signaled me to pass him the ball, and I did as hard as I could, and he caught it, chuckling when he did. I knew it…it was a weak throw.
I watched them play and I was stunned it was so amazingly simple but so effective, the small glances in the wrong direction, the body language positioned and ready to go one way but goes the other way. He even uses his height to his advantage to duck under his guards arm, he even passes with such discretion. It was perfect for me, it's as if it was tailored to my abilities. I even thought of way to improve it a bit.
"So Tetsuya, do you understand?" Sei-kun asked.
"I-I think I do, thank you, Sei-kun." I smiled, I was just so happy, I couldn't wait to try this out.
"SEI-KUN?!" Everyone looked like I said something that would get me killed. My heart dropped for a second, they don't know about us being cousins or married.
"Good." I felt a hand pat my head. "Because I'm going to test you at weekend practice and if you fail. You will be dismissed. Only the strong survive, and those who win are the strong ones. I will accept no failure."
I have three days…no way. If there are 3 things in Teiko that are hard that would be: Mr. Higuchi's math class, school food, and meeting Akashi Seijiro's expectations.
"What's the matter? I thought you could do anything with hard work and dedication." HE mocked me, Murasakibara-san chuckled a bit.
"I can…and I will." I met Sei-kun's gaze and held it, I have never been able to look into those crimson pits, but today I had it, he can say whatever about me, but when he mocks the hard work that everyone puts in on the court, it gets me angry.
I changed and was ready to go home when I was stopped by a Midorima-san, he glared at me like he was angry but his voice sounded as if he was sorry for me.
"Trust me, when I say, you've really done it this time." He scoffed and walked away, as far as I knew Midorima-san is the best at analyzing a players moves and capabilities, so when he says I don't have a chance, it's a one in a million chance.
But somehow, I will…because I'm not willing to give up anything I love up to Sei-kun, even basketball!
