Aomine walked down the roads turning a ball in his hands before making it spin on his pointer finger. He couldn't help but smile.
Their would be no more matches for him this year. But he was determined to beat Serine, more specifically Kagami and his former shadow Tetsu.
He growled even though he knew that it was his fault that Kuroko left their junior high team and if it wasn't for that he would never have regained the passion and respect that he had for basketball.
Aomine just can't help but hate the idea of Kuroko having a Light other then him.
He was so used to the fact that Kuroko was his Shadow and his alone, now he was Kagami's shadow. And that annoyed him to no ends.
Aomine walked by a bench where some blue haired hobo and his dog was sleeping.
He started to dribble his ball. The dark skinned teen didn't care if he was late.
His parent's were never home and when they were they were too busy for him.
His mom being a Head chef at one of the most expensive and fanciest restaurants in town and his dad being a lawyer.
The only good thing that came out of them was that he had enough money to do whatever he wanted and lived in a giant mansion that had a floor all for Aomin's own personal reason's.
Which was pretty cool.
But so not worth the loneliness that he felt in the cold mansion.
The thousand's of dollar's in his bank account wasn't worth the dinner's that held no smile's or the constant fight's that he would get into with his dad.
Yep, that was Aomine with the usual rich boy sob story, toss in Basketball instead of football and the angelic appearance of blond hair and blue eye's swapped out for Dark blue hair and dark skin there you go. Oh! And don't forget the good boy attitude for just plain out attitude.
Aomine stopped and looked back towards the path he just came from.
Dribbling the ball as he slowly made his way back. the dribbling getting slower and quieter before it completely stop.
The boy who was a basketball fanatic stood there.
Eye's adjusted to the dark proved to him that he wasn't seeing things.
their on the bench; layed a shadow.
Aomine bent down and stared into the calm face of Kuroko Tetsuya that seemed to be sleeping soundlessly on a park bench.
Right now Aomine was contemplating what to do he had quite a lot of options: Walk away, Call Seirin, wake Kuroko up, Carry him home, wait till he waked him up, or carry him to Aomines home.
But apparently his option was made for him when a small dog that was sleeping by Kuroko's feet woke up and let out a little growl at Aomine.
Slowly he put his hand's up to show the dog he meant no harm.
The dog stopped growling and ran up to Aomine as if he knew Aomine for the longest of time's.
The small dog made a quick yap to show his happiness, stirring a rather exhausted Blue haired boy.
"Aomine-kun?" The voice filled with sleep.
Kuroko put his small hands to his eye's rubbing them in hopes of helping himself wake up.
Aomine had to gulp at the adorable sight. sometimes Kuroko just seemed like a little kid, which anyone would find adorable with the slim figure that the pale boy held. and the wide blue, trusting, naive eyes didn't help to make people think otherwise.
"Aomine-kun, what? what are you doing out so late?" Kuroko asked with a passive expression and voice, And to anyone but those close to Kuroko it would be easy to miss the worry that laced the boy's cold voice.
"Tch. You expect me to answer that when you'r the one sleeping on the bench. why are you out here" Aomine barked back.
Kuroko only looked away and said a simple "i asked you first Aomine-kun, if you wish for me to answer you'r question you have to be fair and answer mine first"
"Whatever, I was out here playing basketball and lost track of time"
Aomine felt Kuroko's thoughtful gaze on him "If Aomine-kun wishes for me to tell the truth, then he himself shouldn't lie"
Aomine felt his anger rising "whatever, i didn't lie, i just ." "Didn't tell the whole truth" Kuroko finished for the overgrown boy.
"yeah whatever, anywise you didn't even tell me a fraction of the truth, or a lie for what you'r doing out her Tetsu"
Kuroko stared out toward's the falling leaves. Summer's over and fall was blowing in as a light crisp wind attacked Kuroko's flesh, easily getting past the defense of his thin sweater that was keeping him warm up till now.
Shivering at the sudden chill Kuroko leaned in on himself.
Unaware of the fact that Aomine was staring concerned at Kuroko's lip's that were slowly turning a light blue.
Aomine took off his jacket and slung it over Kuroko's shoulder before bending down and made sure Kuroko was staring at him.
"Tetsu, you going to tell me"
Kuroko stared him straight back through the eye's with a steady gaze that sent shiver's down Aomie's back.
Kuroko he never backed down he never broke his gaze, not even against Akashi.
Eye's that were ready to take whatever the world was ready to throw at him.
"I don't really have anywhere to go" Aomine was a bit confused by this and Kuroko set out to explaining "my mom got a job offer, she forgot to tell me and moved when I was at school. She forgot to tell me or my school, I - I can't move but I also don't want to rely on my team when their already helping me so much" his voice faded away.
Aomine Stared at the small figure.
"fine then let's get some sleep he said as he got up and started to walk away. Stopping in the middle of the pace to look at Kuroko "you coming?"
It was Kuroko's turn to wear a confused expression even though you could hardly tell.
Aomine did a motion for Kuroko to follow as he set his pace towards his house once more.
Kuroko took slow and unsteady step's towards Aomine following with caution and uncertainty.
the distance between them getting greater as each second pass.
Aomine looked back with a sullen expression as he watched Kuroko's doubting step.
as quick as a panther Aomine leaned back and snatched at Kuroko's arm roughly bringing him forwards. Kuroko allowed himself a squeak in surprise.
Struggling to keep up the fast and rough pace that Aomine had.
"Ahh. Aomine-kun, you'r tugging to hard"
Aomine loosened his grip and finally let it drop to his side shoving his hands in his pocket's ignoring the cold air that ruched at him.
"Aomine-kun are you cold? here you should take you'r jacket, it's selfish of me to keep it." Before Kuroko could even get it off he was stopped by Aomine. "I don't need it"
And set a faster pace which was causing Kuroko to jump into a steady jog in order to keep up his Aomine.
The blue bird Stared in awe at The panther's house (mansion, castle. whichever one this place was.)
It wasn't the first time that he came here, and then again all of the Gom house's were pretty nice after all, they all had rich parent's.
Another reason why the bird didn't feel part of the team.
As much as the small creature loved the Generation of Miracles their were time's when he felt like a outcast.
The blue Bird looked up towards the panther from his hiding spot wondering what the predator was thinking.
His small neck twisting to look at his bag that the panther had gotten a hold of on their walk towards it's den.
The panther's eye's looked at the inferior creature with only mild annoyance that it's sharper eye's always held.
The already tiny body that this creature held and his even smaller presence felt as if it as fading away completely at this great creature's presence overwhelmed him but still the creature stood it's ground.
Hmm would it be Kuroko's or Kurokos if you know tell me please.
