(Chapter 3))
Cyansoul got up from the bed after eating the cupped noodles haizaki gave to him earlier. At least his feeling a bit better than before .thanks to the noodles he thought. Kuroko silently opened the door and the cold atmosphere welcomed him, is kind of sad. 'The aircon must be on the max level.' He guessed. As he takes a first step, Goosebumps piled up. He rubbed his left arm from the sudden chill. Kuroko traveled his eyes around studying the house of his ex-teammate. The walls are covered on color white; the floor is traditionally wooden made. He went to the right side of the hallway where there are two rooms. The kitchen is surely open while the bathroom has white walls and gray door with something hanging on it.
A little pine tree which is usually for car's air conditioner. He wondered why would haizaki hang a thing like that on the bathroom but ignored it anyways. He went to the kitchen and he couldn't believe on the untidy scenery on his eyes. One mountain of unwashed dishes at the side, overloaded trashcan, soda cans everywhere and, what's that a banana peeling? He was about to enter the kitchen area but he stepped something which gives him more chills. There's a spilled water right before his feet.
Kuroko left the kitchen still holding the cup of noodles. He went to the living room and, it's still the same. Porn magazines everywhere...-which makes his eyes twitch unnoticed-, soda cans everywhere. Scattered clothes, - 'wait those are my clothes!'-, tangled game console and etc etc too many to mention things.
He couldn't describe what he saw. "Is this how haizaki-kun's house the way it should be?" he asked to himself. He checked his temperature and he know he's already feeling well. The cyansoul grabbed one of the R-18 magazines and looked at his surroundings before leaving a sigh. "I guess I need to do something while haizaki-kun is gone." he said before taking a step on the thing happened.
(YAY LITTLE ERRORS ON THIS AREA ATLEAST I'M AWAKE WHEN I WRITED THIS! :"D )
*~*~*~*~*(SMWASL)*~*~*~*~*
Haizaki went home from a grocery. On his left hand his handling 2 plastics full of food and stuffs and on the other is 2 plastic full of sodas and a new magazine. As he entered, he was about to say 'tadaima' but ended up being himself dropping everything whatever he carrying. He saw his living room super clean and tidy. His 'r-18 magazines' are well arranged on the table, the clothes from last night were gone, the soda cans were and gone table is shining bright -which is usually dusty-, the furniture's were cleaned. The graysoul thought his mom came for a cleaning visit, but no. his mom is on far away land which he forgot where, and then one and only person hit his mind. 'Must be tetsuya's doings.'he shut his jaw dropped mouth and grinned. Haizaki was about to check the other furniture's when he heard a loud crash of a single plate from the kitchen and a sudden yelp. He rushed at the kitchen and he could see the cyansoul gathering the broken pieces of plate by his bare hands. He went to kuroko's place, sat down and picked up the pieces. And there the cyansoul was shocked at haizaki's sudden move which made himself cut his thumb.
"Tch, just what the heck do you think you're doing?!"
"Washing dishes."
"I know, right?"
"Then why are you asking?"
Veins popped out on haizaki's head -you know that red-cross thingy- on kuroko's accurate yet annoying straightforward answers. The graysoul moved his left hand and squeezed kuroko's left cheek.
"Are you trying to fool me hah? Tetsuya? "
"no- aw haizaki-kun that hurts." kuroko protested as he hold haizaki's arm trying to remove it from pinching his cheeks .but the more tries the more it hurts. Haizaki released his pinching and he's about to rummage the other's hair to get pissed he went shocked when he saw the other's hair.
"Ahh it hurts? Then how about your- what the hell tetsuya!"
Kuroko made a disapproval face when haizaki suddenly cursed at him before answering. "What?"
"Your hair! w-what -"
"Bedhead ?"
"Y-yeah, wait you call that bedhead?"
"..Umm."
"Go to the bathroom and fix that anti-gravity hair of yours!"
"But the dishes-"
"I'll do take care of this. Geeze you're so stubborn no wonder I can't hang out with you before."
Kuroko sighed before getting up and went to the bathroom to fix his so-called 'anti-gravity bedhead'. He entered the bathroom which is covered in light turquoise tiles while the walls are creamy white. kuroko wondered why haizaki's apartment has only one/two color combination.' maybe it's because of the main owner's choice of color ' he murmured to himself facing the mirror fixing himself. 'No, you can even change the color of the house if you wanted to, but since it's haizaki-kun.'
He guessed that he's just lazy to customize his apartment. He can't even clean it! As kuroko trying to fix the remaining bedhead, something caught his eye on the ceiling. A green like vine and with light yellow fruit displayed on that was not that noticeable but if you look at it closer you will see it clearly. The reason why kuroko is being serious to colors and the house setting is because he believes that a person's house represents its attitude. Well, the trash earlier also represents a person's behavior.
He looked out from the mirror as he finished fixing himself. He locked the bathroom's door shut before running his view at the whole ceiling which is filled with the same design. He glanced back at haizaki who is silently cursing the dishes. From his distance kuroko could see haizaki's full appearance. He did grow taller. His hair dyed raven black and a little bit tan on his body. 'I wonder what's haizaki-kun's feelings deep inside?' he though on himself. And then something like a hint came into kuroko's mind which made him smile before going back to the bathroom.
'Maybe he's just tsundere just like midorima-kun.'
Meanwhile, without us knowing. there's a green carrot who suddenly dropped his lucky item which is a marble figurine of raccoon dog due to the sudden chill ran on his spine which happens often when there's someone thinking something ridiculous about him. Now his whole day is screwed. Good thing cancer's best companion for today is a Scorpio.
*~*~*~*~*(SMWASL)*~*~*~*~*
Haizaki quickly finished the dishes immediately without a fail...
Ok I lied, I really did. He didn't finish the dishes quickly the way it has to be. He didn't finish it in time and still he must arrange the groceries good he just brought and put in on the fridge. Meanwhile, kuroko is on the living room looking for a magazine or anything he could read. Good thing cyansoul managed to found one. But not a magazine haizaki just brought because it has r-18 contents. He doesn't want to disgust his surname by lust anyway. Though, it was already messed up years ago. (U know what I mean,teikou days).
Right after he finished searching for something, he sat down while holding a book and started reading.
*~*~*~*~*(SMWASL)*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile on the kitchen area, Haizaki didn't left the kitchen but instead he decided to
Prepare something they could eat. Suddenly, a question flocks on his head. 'Why am I preparing food for this brat again?' he asked to himself before opening the gas stove and filtered the copper which is filled with random vegetables and meat. He leaned on a wall with his arms crossed and his eyes staring on the stove's fire. Questions are starting build up one by one on him. 'Why is he here? Why am I protecting him so much? Why am I caring for him, is it because of pity? Why am I being so soft to him? Could it be that,-'he suddenly shook his head for thinking of something stupid.' no, that's not true he's just tetsuya .well; he's just him. Nothing important. And why am I feeling like this again? This is not like since when I became soft?!'he's starting to get irritated on this pile of questions on his head until he noticed something cyan. Wait. Cyan hair? (Guys have u tried searching what's the color cyan?)
Yes, kuroko is staring right at him before asking. "haizaki-kun?" haizaki went startled at kuroko's sudden presence.
"What the hell! Tetsuya stop scaring people like that!"
"I'm sorry."
"What do you want?"
"You're cooking."
"Already hungry?"
"No, actually ... The soup you're making..," haizaki looked at the soup he prepared and, there's a lot of smoke on it which it looks like it was about to explode. Haizaki rushed straight to it and take out the pot out on the stove. Good thing the soup was not burned or else something might happen.
"I already turned it off, but the smoke don't go away that's why I approached you." kuroko said while turning his gaze onto something. 'Is he mad at me or something?' haizaki eyed him before commanding." prepare the plates ,let's eat already." and there kuroko prepare the plates ,spoons and chopsticks while haizaki is preparing for the meal -aww they look like a newly married couple if only they know!- and they started saying their 'itadakimasu' and started eating.
*~*~*~*~*(SMWASL)*~*~*~*~*
As they finished eating, kuroko asked haizaki if he could wash the dishes, the other just gave a 'yeah do whatever you want' answer and the Cyansoul started working on the kitchen.
Graysoul went to the living room and turned on the TV expecting for anything good to watch. well, all what he see is dumb novels about lovers in love, old married couples stealing each other's husbands and wives, dumb chicks flirting boys and ooh so dramatic shows that he just can't stand ,there are also some animes he could watch but all of them are just moeshits suited for a chuunibyou. He tried watching one anime which is the girl is a loner while the boy is a playboy who fell in love on the girl. He can't stand it so he just turned the TV off and started reading porn magazines he just brought.
Minutes later, kuroko who just finished washing, the sat beside haizaki,-not so close but not so far- .and grabbed the book he left on the coffee table before. An old manga which is filled with cherry blossom wallpaper and two lovey dovey PDA couples as a read the title which is "Shoujo love 1000& !" ((LAUGHING HARD AT THE TITLE OH MYOHMY!))
He opened it and started reading it, well he's not into romance genre but since this is the only book he could read he tried. Well this is a one's in a lifetime encounter anyway. And that's how their afternoon went in. One is simply busy on his porn magazines and one is busy reading a novel. You might think they're so tune in on what they are reading. But no, both of them are just using those books to cover the awkward atmosphere. Haizaki on his nonstop mentally questions, and kuroko on family problems and on how he will act onto haizaki.
..
10 minutes passed, no ones talking
20 minutes, no one's talking
30 minutes, kuroko got up to get 2 cups of water, he offered one to haizaki, the other simply accepts it but still no one's talking.
40 minutes... and haizaki bravely broke the wall of awkwardness - big applause everyone-
"Oi tetsuya, I'm wondering what you're doing last night, where are you going exactly."
"I- I don't know."
"Oi..."
".."
"Are you trying to act cool? Because you know you su-"
"I ran away."
And there haizaki's multiple questions were answered by just one single answer. And now it's filling up again. 'How? Why? Why did you do that? What happened?'
"How? Why? Why did you do that? What happened?"
(A/n: I hate this part, but it has to)
"My father feels wrath at me, while I'm being such a drag to my if she don't show it face to face on me, but I know she feels shame on me being her son."
Haizaki bring down the magazine he was holding while kuroko is staring blankly at the manga he was reading a while ago w/ eyes shadowing by his hair and a lonely tone on his voice can be, he usually have a deadpan voice but in this one. Everything is completely different.
"ever since my mother and father went to another country for their business trip my grandma is the one who is taking care of me, till I started attending middle school, and now I'm on high school they came back just to train me by their will father wants me to transfer to another country for studying while my mother wants me to quit my sport and focus I declined it, even my grandmother doesn't want me to quit basketball and continue my study here in Japan . " kuroko paused for a moment before speaking. He's not quite good at long discussions though.
"And then my father and mother stopped asking me to live in America, since it was my grandmother's choice for me not to stop my studies. But when grandma went to province they suddenly started asking. I tried to explain why I don't want to transfer to America, mom listened to me and approved but still she wants me to.
Because of the sudden decision, my father doesn't want me on his territory (home). He usually put his anger on me. Every day he will see me, he's telling me that 'I won't have a good future' or sometimes 'you will bring our family down to slums!'." .kuroko's voice was now shaking and haizaki could hear the cyan soul keep his straight voice on not wanting to break down.
"and then the business mom and dad was handling went down, my father is blaming me for the business's breakdown while mom's trying me to feel guilty by saying 'just let what your son what he wants, he doesn't know what he's doing' .do they think I don't know? Of course I know! I can feel it! They don't have to-, that's why, .i, I, "and there kuroko broke .tears fell on his face and now he's clutching at the manga he was holding. Haizaki doesn't know how to hold this guy in this kind of situation. He can't even socialize on him before.' think haizaki! Think! 'Haizaki said to himself and then a not so smart word came out on his lips.
"Well. You know it's not your fault. You know?"
And then the other stopped crying and looked up into haizaki but haizaki looked away instantly not wanting to make an eye contact. Cause he has a bad habit of laughing at serious times.
"y-you're still a teenager-like me and... teenagers have a right to- to choose whatever they wanted to do! Yeah, that's right. y-you, e-even though you wanted to help them but still you can't, I-it's not a problem! Dammit you're still on high school they must not freaking push you!" haizaki suddenly blurted out due to embarrassment.
"Haizaki-kun,"
"a-and even though.. What's the deal if you don't want to quit your so called sport? And Since when basketball and madman business became rivals?!"
"And, and you're still a weak guy struggling on adolescence. You can help them when you're in college it's not your fault for you can't do anything...I know that."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"thank you, haizaki-kun." kuroko smiled at haizaki while brushing his tears. Haizaki looked at him and felt comfort on the other's side.
For the first time on his life he encountered this scene. This is also too new to him that's why he can't handle it for long time and changed the atmosphere by changing the topic.
"By the way...where will you stay then, "
"I guess-"
"You can stay in here if you want." haizaki answered half absentmindedly and half alert.
"Hah?"
"I said you can stay .in here if you want. since you're not familiar on this place."
"...thank you so much, haizaki-kun." stand up from his seat and bowed 30 degrees in front of haizaki. (a real Japanese do this. They sometimes do It 90)
"HN, yeah. Fine."Haizaki answered while looking then kuroko sat up grabbing the previous Shoujo manga he just murdered by clutching it... -Poor manga-
"Haizaki-kun, i just noticed something."
"Nn? What?"
"Haizaki-kun changed."
"Tch...Shut up!" haizaki grabbed a mini pillow on his side -well I don't know where it came from- And smacked it on kuroko's face. While the other laughs silently behind the manga book he used as cover. And there everything started .
