Aomine frowned discontently as he made his way down the hall. Even though he had relieved himself in Kise's room, he didn't feel any better. Now he had to go out and be social with the stupidest tiger in the world and a certain blue haired boy he did not want to think about. All Aomine wanted to do now is make them leave so that he and Kise could enjoy the rest of their day in peace. Taking a deep breath, he stepped out into the living room.

The first thing he saw was Kagami's arms flung around both a quietly sitting Kuroko and certain blond who was trying to get a movie started on the TV. Kise seemed unaware of the offending arm that was, in Aomine's mind, dangerously close to touching him, but it still pissed him off to no end. When Kise had managed to get the movie started he looked up to Aomine and smiled brightly.

"Aominecchi, we were just going to watch a movie! Come sit down!"

Sighing, he approached the couch where everyone was waiting. Not bothering to say hello, he asked "What are we watching?"

"Well hello to you to asshole." Kagami sneered. A comical vein popped up on Aomine's forehead as his eyebrow twitched. "Yes, hello Aomine-kun." an unemotional Kuroko said.

"Hello Bakagami. Hey Tetsu…"

Kagami looked as if he was going to start a fight over Aomine's usage of Bakagami, but I quick glance from Kuroko shut him up real quick.

Kise stood quickly in order to turn off the lights. Aomine watched with mild fascination as to how the blond could be so...blond. Sighing, Aomine took the seat farthest away from where the annoying tiger was. But even more so, he wanted to be nowhere near Kuroko. Too many unwanted memories...memories he had no intentions of telling Kise.

Just as Aomine finished the thought, the bubbly blond had come bouncing back to the couch. A small smile graced his lips when Kise had sat rather close to Aomine, snuggling up tight. The starting credits began to play and Aomine almost forgot that the other two were even there. Almost.

The movie had been boring, only slightly amusing when the awfully made up zombies fawned stupidly. It really couldn't get any worse. The only perk in Aomine's mind was the smaller blond was practically shaking in his lap like a scared puppy. Extremely amused by this, he snaked a tanned arm around Kise's waist to pull him closer. This time, he really did forget they had company.

Pulling the blond close into his lap, he buried his nose into the addicting scent that was simply his Kise. He was also unaware however, that a certain blue haired boy had been watching closely by Kagami's side...

Aomine was in a bliss of his own. The intoxicating smell of Kise was both grounding and giving him a sense of high. They were so close. 'This is how it should be…' Aomine passively thought in his mind along with the silent declaration to never let Kise go.

Meanwhile, Kise really looked rather scared so he got up and out of Aomine's hold to curtly announce he was "getting popcorn."

"I'll come with you." came a blank voice from nowhere.

Before either of the larger boys could argue, the invisible boy was out of sight. Signing, both Aomine and Kagami turned back to sit awkwardly in their previous positions, neither saying a word.

He Kuroko stood mutely behind Kise as he rushed to shove the greasy bag into the microwave. He turned around briskly with a yelp.

"Kuroko! When did you get in here?"

"Some time ago..." Kuroko trailed off.

Kise opened his mouth with eyebrows scrunched to give a wine but he was cut off.

"Kise, do you really think it's the best idea to be with Aomine-kun?"

Silents...

"How did you know about that?" Kise whispered looking down.

"Well, with you clinging to him in his lap, it's hard not to notice..."

Kise attempted to make a retort, but there was nothing he could reply to. So Kuroko simply continued.

"He will leave you again. He will leave you behind for someone or something else. You must know this. What would make you think you could believe otherwise?" asked Kuroko, his voice coming to a higher pitch at the end.

Kiss could feel the familiar twinge of pain in his chest along with the sting in his eyes.

"And how would you know this?" Kise chocked out. He was sure he did not want to hear the answer.

"Because Kise,"

'No, oh God no. I'm not ready for this' Kise thought franticly.

"it's is exactly what he did to me."

It's had felt like the world had dropped on his heart. He had already known, someone would have to be a fool to not know. Kuroko and Aomine had been together. But to hear it coming from seemingly uncaring lips was too much as the black over took him...

"Kise-kun?" Kuroko asked to the unconscious body.

"Kagami-kun!" the small boy shouted.

Both Kagami and Aomine were there in an instant. Immediately, they were there looking rather dumbly at the blond sprawled out awkwardly on the floor. Snapping out of his trance, Aomine stumbled to the floor to pick up the body. He turned sharply to Kuroko.

"What happened." He said in a strained, slightly angered voice.

"I was warning him and he passed out." He answered, ever so bluntly.

Both the larger boys seemed to be lost as to what the warning was about. Neither had time to piece it together before Kuroko silently grabbed Kagami's hand before curtly speaking:

"I do hope that you take better care of him than you did me."

There wasn't any sign of anger nor sadness, just serious concern. Aomine did not have time to reply to that comment either as Kuroko spun Kagami around to drag him out of the apartment door with Kagami looking rather stupid. And just as abruptly they came in, they left without another word.

All the blood had drained out of Aomine's face when Kuroko's words sank in. 'What exactly had he said to Kise that would make him black-out? Would Kise not talk to me again? Would he hate me and make me leave?'

Panic. That's exactly what set into Aomine.

'Should I take him to the hospital? Did he hit his head? What else happened? Was Kise in pain?'

Unable to settle the conflicting thoughts surrounding his head, Aomine settled for taking Kise into his own room and lying him down on the bed. All he could do then was watch the blond turn from him and curl up into a ball.

'I want to be next to him. Holding him. But, what if he wakes up and rejects me? I don't want to scare him. And I don't want to force him into anything, even it is only me holding him…'

The only thing left to do was to wait for Kise to wake up. Aomine picked a spot next to the bed closest to Kise and sat down, leaning on the bed. Closing his eyes he figured, 'It's only 4:00. Might as well take a little nap.'

Kise wasn't sure how long it was till he woke up, but it only felt like minutes. Glancing at the clock beside his bed it read: 8:47. Kise was mildly shocked to see this and made a move to stand up when he froze. Sitting there next to his bed was Aomine. He was crunched up awkwardly on the floor leaning on the bed facing Kise. Aomine's mouth was opened slightly and snoring lowly. All the angery lines had left his peaceful face, leaving him to look almost childish.

"This kid…" Kise thought quietly out loud. At that moment, his previous doubt left his mind. He would settle for making Aomine tell him about his relationship with Kuroko just so the burier was lifted and there was not longer something in between them.

Slipping out of his bed, careful not to wake Aomine, he stood in front of him, deciding what to do next. Smiling softly, Kise reached down to rap his hands around a bicep, gently pick him up. Only half awake, Aomine stood dizzily. Pushing him gently back down on the bed, Kise laid down next to the now snoring boy. Pulling the covers over the both of them and snuggling in close, Kise thought about what the future would hold. He wondered what 'they' would be, if anything at all. But he didn't want to think about that now; all he wanted to do was sleep again. This time, next to Aomine. Where he belonged.
