Chapter 2: The Yellow Fruit

The project started right away. Of course, the lemonade stand had to be located near a popular area which was in fact near Seirin High. Since Kuroko lives closest to the school, the former Teiko Basketball team was forced to visit his abode. It was a weekend anyway, so there were to classes that day. Visiting a friend's house wouldn't hurt, right?

After they passed through the school, they proceeded to walk their way to Kuroko's house. The five all followed the pale teen as they walked in the pedestrian lane. Clueless as a duckling, no one even knew where his house was, not even last year in Teiko. The poor loner never really had visitors to start with.

They all stayed behind Kuroko, who was in the lead. Right behind him was Kise, and behind the blonde was Murasakibara who cradled a paper bag of snacks with him. Following the giant was Midorima, who carried with him a lucky item. Aomine was tailing behind him, lazily placing his arms behind his head. Akashi was the last one in line. As much as he wanted to be in front for size reasons, he tasked himself to supervise the team, just in case someone screws something up.

"Uh... Kurokocchi?" Kise impatiently asked. Without speaking, Kuroko simply turned his head to the blonde.

"Where exactly is your house?" Added the model.

"Oh, don't worry. We're almost there. It's actually pretty close, that's why I'm never late." He replied rather soullessly.

"Does your house have a blender? You know, for the lemonade?" Akashi awkwardly questioned the shadow.

"I sadly don't. Can't afford it. That's why I go to Maji Burger for milkshakes rather than making them on my own. And plus, that's not how you make lemonade." Kuroko responded back. He was surprised to know that his former team captain doesn't know how to make a simple refreshing beverage. Maybe it's because he's too rich to make some himself and simply buys them instead?

"Well, Tetsuya... Do you have the ingredients at home?" The redhead asked once more.

"Nope."

"What?! Then, how are we supposed to make lemonade?!" Aomine childishly complained from behind Midorima, who almost became deaf. "Wait a second..." The dark skin added while he mischievously stared at what Shutoku's number one shooter had comfortably sitting onto his left palm, which was wrapped in taping.

It was a lemon.

"Akashi, we could use that thing!" The ace shouted out to his former captain as he proceeded to point his mighty finger at the yellow fruit.

"Oh yeah..." The redhead glady noticed as he sadistically looked at the lemon. "Shintaro, hand it over."

"NO! It's my lucky item for today. I can't let you take it!" Midorima protested as if it was his life on the line. He had guts to deny his former captain's orders, especially when he was emmiting his intimidating aura.

"Hand it over or else." Akashi refused to lose.

"Or else what?" The carrot stubbornly asked.

"Or else... I'll break your fingers."

"That's illegal. You'll end up in juvy! And plus, you're never gonna get your hands on this bad bo-" Midorima tried to prove them wrong. But, as he pointed to his lucky item, he found that it was no longer sitting on his left hand. In fact, it was nowhere near the carrot. His heart skipped a beat as he started thinking about what could've happened to the lemon.

'Did it fall out of my hand?' He thought to himself. But, he was wrong once again. It was stolen from him by the least expected person to do so. From the group of miracles, the one to take it from Midorima's hands without such notice was none other than...

... Kuroko Tetsuya?!

A vein began throbbing on Midorima's head as soon as he saw the unnacceptable abomination.

"Hey, give that back, you little shitface!" Vulgar words came from the teen who used to have a lemon placed on his hand.

"Over my dead body." An unexpected taunt came from Kuroko who was now running for his life while holding a lemon with one hand and shouting 'YOLO' with pride. Even Akashi couldn't do anything about what they had just seen from their former Sixth Man with their own naked eyes.

"Ehem..." A throat clear spawned in from the giant once Kuroko was at least 10 meters away from them.

"What is it, Atushi?" Asked Akashi, still not over the act that Kuroko presented to them.

"I'm out of snacks... Let's go buy some from the convenience store." Murasakibara replied after he chewed the last Pocky stick he had in his sack of treats. The others agreed with a nod and proceeded to leave Kuroko behind.

"Maybe the store has some lemons as well." Midorima added as he adjusted his glasses.

"And the ingredients we need, right Akashicchi?" Kise joyfully cackled.

"Wait, lemme just text Tetsuya." Akashi insisted right before pulling out his phone from his pocket.

To: Testuya
Subject: Lemons

While we buy the ingredients, how about you set up the lemonade stand near Seirin?

After the message was sent, they all proceeded to walk their way to a familiar convenience store leaving Kuroko behind.
