Kise fixed the tie that hung around his neck. He smiled as he looked himself over in the mirror. He was sporting a light blue dress shirt that contrasted well with his hair and black slacks that was tailored to fit his amazing figure. For a guy, Kise would say he had a visually pleasing image to say the least.

Checking the time once again, Kise decided it was due time for him to head out for a job interview. He had been trying for the past two weeks to find a job and luckily he had finally gotten a call back yesterday. The women he had spoken to had told him that they were looking for a full time waiter to take shifts during the week and Kise had jumped at the opportunity. It was an ideal job for him, with the place being within walking distance of his apartment as well as the tips he would probably be getting along with his usual pay. All in all, it looked like the best job that could fit him at the moment.

Taking one last look at himself, the blonde decided that he should leave now, if he wanted to make it in time for the interview. He headed out moments later, making sure he had his phone and wallet with him. As he walked down the street, towards the small café, Kise began to think about the incident that had occurred only a few short weeks ago. The stranger he had met at the bar hadn't shown his face since that day. Maybe Kise had slightly hoped that the man would come back to see him again, although he highly doubted that. That night had probably been a chance encounter but despite that Kise had gone almost every night since, to see if he could catch a glimpse of the stranger.

Sadly, the blonde had no such luck.

Once he had finally straightened himself up from the steamy session the two of them had had behind that bar, Kise had begun to think about the mans parting words.

Revenge...

The man had slept with him because he wanted to get revenge.

The blonde wouldn't have really bothered to think about who the boyfriend had been if it was for the fact that the man had implied it had only been a few months ago. Which meant that there was only one man that could fit the description.

Kagami Taiga.

It was one night after he had had a particularly hard day at his current job. He had been single for months at that point and Kise was beginning to realize just how alone he was in his daily life. Sure, he had his family, but he saw them all about five times a year, birthdays, holidays or any other days that obligated the blonde to see them. As for the friends he had, well he had some that still talked to him from high school, but they were busy with school or work and in all honesty they didn't have the time to talk or hang out with him. Otherwise, there was no one he cared to mention.

It was then, he started to wonder if he was truly doomed to be alone. He hated the empty feeling he felt as he watched others walk along side their friends, lover, or family.

As he began to pity himself, Kise decided he wanted to forget about those feelings. That evening he headed out in hopes that all of his worries would go away, even if it was just for the night. He ended up in a bar, by himself, drinking his problems away. He didn't even get to the second drink before he noticed a mop of stunning red hair sit down only a few seats away. Kise smiled to himself as he looked over his latest pray. The man was stunning, he had rough yet handsome features and what looked like a well fit body. He praised his luck as he got up and moved down to sit next to the unsuspecting stranger.

"Hey." The blonde said as he smiled lightly at the redhead.

The only response he got was silence. The blonde frowned as he watched the man completely ignore him.

"Hmm, I guess you're not in the mood to talk." Kise said as he took a sip of his drink. They stayed quiet for the next several minutes before the blonde heard a huge sigh. The man raised his hand as he signaled to the bartender to get him another drink before he turned to Kise.

"So, I'm guessing you're trying to hit on me..." The man said as he looked the blonde over shamelessly. The redhead smiled a bit as he took in Kise's appearance before he picked up the freshly made drink that had been placed in front of him. He chuckled slight as he rose the glass up to his lips before he glanced over at Kise and began to talk.

"Sorry. I'm already taken, but thank you for the offer. I'm flattered." He took a sip of the drink shortly afterwards before he placed it back down and turned his attention fully towards the blonde.

The blonde frowned before he rose an eyebrow and asked a question. "But where's your girlfriend?"

"He's..." The man began before he stopped, trailing off, unable to finish his sentence.

"He?" The blonde questioned before he begun to piece things together.

"Oh, please. Like you didn't know it was a guy." The red head smirked before he started to explain again. "He's..."

Kise noticed how the man struggled to find the words.

"Let me guess, you guys got into a fight?" The blonde asked as he realized they must have been having one of those rocky patches all relationship had to go through from time to time.

"Yeah..."

"So what happened?"

The redhead begun to tell his story about what he and his lover had been fighting about, but as Kise listened he noticed that the man would smile every so often as he talked about Aomine, his lover. Kise longed for someone to think about him like that; someone to smile at the very mention of his name and love him even if they didn't always see eye to eye. As they continued to talk and drink, both men realized their thoughts and minds were become hazy. It wasn't intentional, but before they knew it their lips were connected.

They both were aware what was going on, but in that moment it was clear that both men needed someone to hold. Someone to love them, even if it was only for the night. Kise ended up waking up in the morning to an empty hotel room and a note left on the bedside table. It sounded cliche, but the blonde slightly wished the stranger had stayed until the morning.

He had enjoyed the sex, but more than anything, he had enjoyed the conversation he had with the redhead last night. The only thing that was left on the note was a simple sentence, and he suppressed the urge to cry as he read it and began to dress.

Hope you find someone to love you.

Kagami Taiga

Kise sighed as he pushed the door open to the small coffee shop. The place gave off a sense of home as the blonde looked around to see a counter lined with chairs to his left and a series of tables to his right. In the corner near one of the many windows, there were couches, with a table in the middle of them.

"We're closed." He heard a women say as she turned her body so she could see who had just entered the establishment. Kise glanced over the women before he smiled. She was beautiful, with long pink hair that fell down to her stomach and assets that would make any girl envious. In all honesty, if he was interested in women, he would go for a girl like her.

"Oh, are you here for the interview?" She asked with a tilt of her head. She smiled sweetly as she approached him.

"Yes." He said with a simple nod before she gestured for him to sit down at one of the tables that scattered the right side of the cafe.

"Don't worry, this wouldn't take very long. Unfortunately the owner of the shop couldn't make it today. He usually frequents at the place, but he's probably... busy at the moment." She explained before she begun to ask Kise the standard question. What were his prior jobs, was he a student in school, was he looking for a full time or part time job.

The interview went by fast, if Kise was being honest, maybe it was because the women was so easy to talk to. She didn't ask him questions that were stupid, like what he wanted to offer to the establishment, or why he was interested in working their. It was obvious to any interviewer the reason the applicant wanted a job. They needed money. All but twenty minutes later the women in front of him finally said.

"Well, Kise-kun. That should be it." She smiled before getting up and pushing one of her hands forward. "Congratulations, you've got the job. You start tomorrow."

Kise sat there dumbfounded for a second before he rose from his seat and smiled widely. "Thank you so much, Momoi-san."

"No problem. Plus, you're cute. I'm sure that would increase our business." She laughed a bit as they shook hands.

"Haha, thanks." He said as he watched the girl walk to one of the door that looked like it lead to a storage room of sorts and came back with a uniform.

"You'll be working as a waiter. All you need to do is seat the people that come through the door, and then take and serve there orders." She said before adding. "There are a few other employees, so it isn't as hard as it sounds. The busiest time would be at lunch time and sometimes at breakfast."

"Thank you." He said again before he bid the women good bye.

Moments after the blonde had exited the place, Momoi wiped out her cellphone and dialed a number. She waited a few seconds as she heard the phone ringing before someone answered.

"What?" The gruff voice said.

"I know you're busy, but I've just hired the boy that came in today for an interview." She said as she heard noises coming from the other side. She wanted to roll her eyes at the mans attitude, he could care less about whom she had given the job to.

"Finally, took you long enough." He said as Momoi heard a few more sounds. She couldn't quite hear what it was before she heard a loud moan from the other side. "Ah- Shit."

"What was that?!" She asked both concerned and disgusted. "Are you sleeping with someone right now!"

"Hn- No, not fucking." Was the short response before the man explained. "I'm getting a blowjob."

Momoi hung up a few seconds later as she had not interest in continuing the conversation, not when her best friend was getting off on the other side. She sighed as he wondered when the man would quit it with the sex and finally settle down. Kagami had been a good match for him, but considering that Aomine had cheated on him multiple times throughout the relationship, the girl couldn't blame the red head for breaking things off.

She had always wondered if Kagami knew all along about the other flings Aomine had, or if it had been that time when he had caught him with Tetsu. Either way, Aomine had lost Kagami's trust and sadly had never regained it. Momoi had felt bad for his friend at the time, but thinking back, the bluenette deserved it. Aomine had taken the red head for granted and once he realized his mistake, it had been too late.

"Dai-chan, I really hope you find someone to love you..." She whispered to herself.
