QUARTER 3:

It Just happen that the person I love is...


Kouki is minding his own business while listening intently to their math teacher explain a new formula they could use to solve the problem she wrote on the board when all of the sudden Kagami who's sitting in front of him turn around to face him, once their eyes met his heart started to beat erratically against his chest…

Dug dug..

"W-What?" Kouki asked quietly, but Kagami didn't say anything but instead threw a crumpled paper over his open book. He stared at it before turning to look at the red head's broad back. "W-What is this?" he asked once again in a hush voice.

"Read it baka." Kagami replied quietly and carefully not wanting to get their teacher's attention to them. Kouki frowned as he start un-crumpling the paper carefully reading what's inside the letter.

Oi meet me at the park from we're we first met after school baka.

I'll be waiting

-Kagami


"I'll be waiting…"

...

Those words kept on repeating like a broken recorder in his mind what could Kagami possibly want from him? Like why would he want them to meet up all of the sudden? Kouki sighed, as he entered the closet room to get the balls out before the afternoon practice starts.

Kouki shook his head as if trying to erase the crazy thought filling his mind, "No, Kouki you can't think like that! B-but why would he want to meet up at the park? No no… I shouldn't think too much into it Kagami-kun is straight and-…" his roller-coaster train of thoughts is interrupted when the subject of his inner turmoil appeared right behind him.

"Hey."

Kouki flinched at the sound of Kagami's rough voice.

"W-What?" Kouki bit his lower-lip, damn it he stuttered!

"Coach is asking for you...she sent me here to help you carry the balls out or something." Kagami said while brushing his hair awkwardly.

"Oh, don't worry I'll do it myself…as a player you can't carry things like this." Kouki said as he turn his back from Kagami somehow seeing the basket full of basketball ball's is more comforting than the burning gaze he was feeling the red head is giving his back.

"Na, its fine I'll help it'll only takes forever if you're the only one moving." Kouki's heart leap as he felt their skin touches, it was for a brief moment but a sudden spark travel throughout his body.

"Hey."

Kouki jumped back down, "S-Sorry…" he stuttered nervously he tried to move away from the red head but found himself falling backwards.

"Oi careful!" Kagami exclaimed grabbing the smaller boy instinct sending Kouki back to his arms.

"W-Waaah…s-sorry!" he apologized, looking up only to realize their faces are only inches from each other. Immediately a blush graces his cheeks his heart pounding against his ribcage so hard it feels like his heart is jumping out of his chest. He tried to move away fully aware of the position they're in but Kagami held him firmly in place.

"Are you all right?" Kagami asked gently.

Kouki swallowed real hard, while trying to still his beating heart but it was useless when he start feeling Kagami's warm breath on the back of his neck. "No…I can feel his breath on my skin." His inner turmoil started once again and he doesn't know how to stop it.

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

"Uh, y-yeah." Kouki nodded meekly, "Thanks." He thanked the red head quietly.

"No problem…"


Nervous and Unfocused

...

Is the two words describing him right now after the 'incident' happened inside the closet room, he couldn't think straight and all he could think about is Kagami and how he felt so good while he was in his arms.

"No I can't lose focus just because of something like this! Pull yourself together the team still has preliminaries to prepare for and they can't go on if their manager is acting like this." Kouki thought to himself while slapping himself silly trying to get himself to focus on his job.

...

Meanwhile

"Somehow something feels different about Furi right now." Kawahara said out of the blue, making the other two first years turned their gaze at him from the ball they we're holding.

"What do you mean Kashi?" Fukuda asked his team mate his eyebrow arching in confusion.

The two watch their classmate shrugged his shoulder, "Well can't you see?" he answered, and rolling his eyes for them not getting what he was trying to say. "W-Well he's cute." He said quietly not wanting the other boys make a face at him for actually calling their team manager-a boy no less 'cute'.

Fukuda made a face.

"Gross?"

"But man I know I sound so bad right now but somehow Furi's ditziness, meek and also adding to the list is his appearance dude…he doesn't need any girl he can just look at himself in a mirror."

Kagami's ear perk up, frowning automatically, at the mention of Kouki's name. At last he couldn't take it anymore, he then found himself walking towards the three.

"Kagami-kun?" Kuroko watched the red haired walk towards the three boys.

"Oi, you three." Fukuda and Kawahara gulped real hard as the red haired menacing aura scare them out.

"W-What is it Kagami?" Kawahara stuttered at the sight of the red haired's intimidating presence.

"Stop talking about Kouki that way."

"Eh?" Fukuda blinked, "Furi? Did you just call Furi by his first name?" he asked in confusion.

"Yeah? When did you two become close?"

"Well," now this is Kagami's turn to stuttered while turning away to hide the redness that grace his cheeks.

"Are you blushing Kagami?" Fukuda asked, while trying to take a look of his team mate's face.

"S-Shut up! Just back off okay? And stop calling Kouki c-cute okay?!" Kagami said forcefully making the two even more suspicious.

"What's the big deal?" Kawahara asked, while rubbing the side of his forehead in confusion, he couldn't understand where his red haired team mate was coming from.

"Why are you so over-protective of Furi?"

"I'm NOT!" Once again Kagami denied furiously.

Kawahara was about to say something back to the furious red head when the sound of their equally furious team captain echoed throughout the gym.

"Hey you first years why are you four slacking off there?! Get on with the training idiots!" Hyuga said yelled out, an angry vein popping out of his forehead.

"Somehow Hyuga is scarier right now." Koganei whispered to his friend, Mitobe who nodded in return gulping really hard.

"Well Hyuga will always be Hyuga." Tsucchi shrugged his shoulder.

"You lot are always a big headache!" Riko sighed deeply while rubbing the bridge of her nose in frustration.

"Headache? I have a joke for-" Izuki started but even before he could say his joke, Riko pushed him away.

"We have no time for your non-sense Izuki." Riko said in irritation.


Practice finished exactly 6 pm, Kagami and Kuroko decided to stay back to do extra laps and by the time they are finish it's already 7 pm. After their exercise they run back towards the club room to sit down to still their ragged breathing.

"Kagami-kun." Kuroko called out the red head as he watch the taller boy remove his sweat soaked t-shirt.

"Yeah?" Kagami replied absentmindedly before picking his bag to get his unfinished burger from lunch and start eating it.

"You like Furihata-kun." The sudden statement from the misdirection expert made him choke on his food. "Does this reaction means I'm right?" the blue haired teen asked once again his blue eyes staring intently to the red head as if waiting to catch him on a lie.

After getting his composure back Kagami faked his cough before returning the Teiko's phantom sixth man's gaze, "Yeah." He said with a shrug as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Wow."

"What?" Kagami snapped in irritation at Kuroko's response.

"I thought you're going to deny it."

"Well, I'm not going to deny my feelings." He winced, he sounded like a sap. He couldn't believe he just had this conversation with Kuroko.

"I didn't know you're into guys Kagami-kun." Kuroko said without malice.

"I'm straight," Kagami said firmly, "It just happened that the person I like is a guy as well…and frankly I don't really care if we're of same gender. I like him that's it." The red head said without hesitation making Kuroko smile warmly.

Kagami frowned seeing his basketball partner smile, "You're smile is creeping me out stop that Kuroko."

"Kagami-kun is a dummy."

Kagami twitched an angry vein popping out of his forehead, "What did you just said Kuroko-teme?!" he said while grinding his fist over the smaller boy's head.

"Itadesu, Kagami-kun."

"That's the main idea, baka."

"It's about time for Furihata-kun to be happy you know."

"What?"

"Huh?" Kuroko blinks when Kagami turned around to face him once again.

"What do you mean by that Kuroko." He asked gruffly.

"It's not my place to tell so it's best if it comes from Furihata-kun."

"About what?" Now he's curious, what the hell is Kuroko's saying?

Kuroko frowned, "Kagami-kun is an idiot." He said as he turned to walk away.

"Hey wait just a minute Kuroko-teme we're not done talking yet!" Kagami said following the smaller boy's trail.
