NIGHT TWO.
"Good Morning Kagami-kun."
"EEEEEK!" Kagami shrieked upon the arrival of our forever invisible guy.
"Don't just pop up any time you wish to!" he struck the teal head's head.
"That really hurts Kagami-kun." Kuroko deadpanned.
"Say Kuroko, what happened with Akashi last night? Did you…?" the taller red head asked maliciously.
"What is that "did you…"? We ate in a luxurious restaurant. So luxurious and foreign I forgot the name and how it is pronounced." Kuroko replied.
"That's all?"
"What were you expecting perverted Kagami-kun?"
"Who's pervert!? Please don't confuse me with your previous light Kuroko, I'm not Aomine okay?" Kagami faced forward, walking a little bit faster.
#####################
It was this late when it finally hit his mind about Akashi's last words before bidding good night.
"If my answer was still lacking for you, maybe I could tell it to you next time."
Then he repeated it again, just the last word—the magical last word.
"…next time."
"EH!?" Kuroko exclaimed, in class.
Good thing he has this unique weak presence his reaction has gone unnoticed by everyone, except for someone sitting in front of him.
"What's wrong Kuroko?" Kagami's head turned 90 degrees East of South, facing the teal head.
Kuroko was about to open his mouth when BLAG!
The teacher saw Kagami and threw a book on him. Unluckily it hit him right on the head.
Everyone in the class laughed, including the one who's really at fault—Kuroko. Just in time Kuroko's phone vibrated, its LED blinking a colour of red—a message.
From: Akashi-kun
Subject: Invitation
Message:
There is a newly built amusement park in Kyoto, wanna come? I have tickets, you can tag Kagami along with you. My team will be coming with me as well.
Kuroko's eyes shone upon reading the word "amusement park". He texted back in no minute.
Somewhere on the southern part of Japan, someone's phone vibrated.
From: Tetsuya
Subject: re; Invitation
Message:
Are you sure you want Kagami-kun to join us? He is quite embarrassing and gluttonous, so please reconsider.
When will this be? I want to come.
A certain red head from somewhere in Kyoto chuckled after reading the text message and shortly replies.
After a couple of minutes, the teal head's phone vibrated.
From: Akashi-kun
Subject: re; Invitation
Message:
Is that how you describe a friend, Kuroko? Now I'm wondering how you described me to your team. Yes, let Kagami accompany you.
This event will happen a week from now, Tetsuya-meanie. I'll text you later on for more details, just to put you on excitement.
Kuroko smiled. He is truly excited. Little did everyone know that he has a hidden love for amusement parks. And he will be taking Bakagami with him, and Akashi has his team with him too.
#####################
Kuroko sat quietly in a bench in front of a convenience store while Kagami Taiga rants of the teal head's date being late.
"Make sure you'll say everything you're whining about to Akashi-kun." The patient teal head stated.
"Of course I'll do! How could he order us to be sharp at time when he will be late!? That shorty! I'm gonna bury him to the ground for making me wait!"
"You're gonna bury who?" a sharp voice said.
Kagami solidified in his place. The skies are turning gray and he feels like he is hears snip of scissors.
"He said he's gonna bury you, Akashi-kun." Kuroko answered for the frozen taller red head instead.
Kagami turned 180 degrees, glaring at his shadow.
"And he keeps on talking about you. He must be in love with Akashi-kun." He added, adding insult to the injury.
"KUROKO!" Kagami jolts and was about to pounce on Kuroko when he bumps into someone tall—it's not Akashi of course.
"Hi Taiga-chan!" Mibuchi greeted.
"Yo Kagami!" Hayama butted in.
"Tetsuya." Akashi simply greeted.
The shooting guard and small forward of Rakuzan looked at the Tetsuya their captain called out.
"EEEH!?" they both screamed.
"I'm sorry Tet-chan! I didn't know you were already here!" the taller black-haired hugged Kuroko, receiving sharp glares from his captain.
"You're still amazing Kuroko! I didn't see you at first!" Hayama pat the teal head's shoulder hard which made poor Kuroko wobble.
"Your guys are being loud, shall we go now?" Akashi broke his silence and slight irritation.
#####################
The amusement park has few customers yet so lively because of the playing lights from the rides and the festive atmosphere of said place. Blinking lights from everywhere contrasts the mixed shade of dark blue and orange hues of the sky. It's getting dark, but the night is still young as group of high school students unwind
Kagami and Hayama jumped in excitement upon seeing the roller coaster ride.
"Kuroko! Let's ride that!" he grabbed his shadow's hand, but stopped by a strong, small hand.
Kagami looked to said small hand, seeing a glaring captain below him. He shivers and let go of his partner's hand.
"H-Hayama, could you join me instead?" he turned to Hayama, hairs at the back standing still.
" 'course! Reo-nee come with us too!"
Mibuchi smiled and looked at the small teens.
"Tet-chan and Sei-chan won't come?"
"I will come, and so is Akashi-kun." Answered Kuroko.
Akashi nodded.
#####################
"Kuroko, can I take you somewhere after this?" Akashi whispered while buckling up.
Kuroko's heart pounds for no apparent reason, he wants to ask why but it didn't come out. He only looked at the red head and nodded.
After the thrilling ride, three of the bunch laughed and coughed and talked about the gall-shaking ride. While the two poker face didn't even say a word and watched the three group each other.
"Kagami is somewhat good at socializing. Now I'm wondering why he has been hanging out with you for this long time now."
"Akashi-kun just insulted me." Kuroko pouted. "Maybe because I am his shadow?"
Akashi chuckled. "I'm glad you met him, Kuroko."
"You were able to recover from the pain I had caused you." now Akashi Seijuurou is serious. Sadness cross his face as scenes from the past flashed back.
He felt a soft, consecutive pats on his shoulder. He looked to see Kuroko showing a soothing expression.
"Everything is okay now, captain. You should not dwell in the past too much." Kuroko smiled, a smile that shone alongside the moonlight.
"Tetsuya." The red head blushed, so small the teal head couldn't notice.
"Besides, I have finally defeated you Akashi-kun. So there is nothing to worry about." Kuroko made a smug look on his cute, blank face.
"Do you really need to bring that up?" Akashi frowned at his old teammate.
"Of course."
"And why?"
"Because that's the moment Akashi-kun has returned to us. And I'm so happy." Kuroko smiled, not looking at his captain.
Akashi felt a sudden urge to hug the teal head beside him. He was about to extend his free arms when, talk about wrong timing, his teammates and the Seirin's ace approached them.
The Rakuzan captain threw a "you-just-ruined-the-moment" glare at all of them.
"Let's ride the Vikings next!" Hayama exclaimed.
"That sounds great but, Akashi-kun and I will go somewhere else. You guys could go ahead, we'll just catch up." Kuroko turned to Akashi.
Akashi was surprised, no, more of shocked. His sixth man has overpassed his expectations again.
"Yes please. We will catch up, we promise." Akashi smiled curtly.
"If you say so." Kagami rolled his eyes.
"Thank you Kagami-kun, Mibuchi-san and Hayama-san." Kuroko smiled at them.
"My, my. You're way too cute Tet-chan! I might give you a hug—" Mibuchi glanced at Akashi, glaring a "don't-you-dare-touch-him."
"—the next time you do that." The raven-haired shooting guard continued, shaking in his place.
#####################
They are leisurely walking around the park when all of a sudden, Kuroko stops. His sky blue eyes landed on a dog plushie which looks like the spitting image of his dog.
Akashi noticed him stop and glanced at him, the shadow's eyes are looking at something. He approached the teal head and followed his eyes.
"You like that?" Akashi broke the teal head's day dream.
Kuroko turned to Akashi, a bit embarrassed of his recent actions.
"Not really. The plushie looks like Nigou that's why I—"before he could finish his elucidation he saw his former captain went to the counter.
"What are you doing Akashi-kun?"
"Just watch." Akashi smirked and showed him three small balls.
The red head threw the first ball swiftly, hitting two bottles at the same time. The same goes for the remaining balls. Shortly after, Akashi is now holding the dog plushie Kuroko was drooling over.
"Here you go." Akashi smiled, that victorious smile he used to wear back in middle school.
"T-thank you." Kuroko stuttered, taking the plushie from the red head's hand.
Two teenagers donned in their jersey continued walking with nowhere to go, but both seemed to enjoy it. The guy in Rakuzan jersey tried to hold hands with the smaller guy in red and black jersey, but pulls away immediately. Thinking he might have been rushing things.
Their silence broke when Akashi finally reached his desire destination. He looked at it, then at Kuroko, then back to said destination.
"We are riding that, aren't we?" Kuroko's eyes sparkled.
"Of course. I know you love riding that, correct?" Akashi said, red orbs not leaving the fascinated teal head.
#####################
The Ferris wheel goes up and still they remained silent, each having their own business of enjoying the view, until Akashi speaks.
"I was planning to tell you my real intentions now, Kuroko." He said while looking out at the window.
Kuroko turned to him, waiting for his next statements.
"I like you Tetsuya." Akashi now faces the teal head.
Kuroko gasps, his throat ran dry.
"Please go out with me."
