This was so confusing. None of them could explain what was happening here. Their smallest memeber was all of the sudden screaming while looking incredibly terrified. They had seen him angry, they had seen him sad, but this was something different. They were all so shocked that they couldn't react fast enough to follow their friend right away, it was all happening so fast. It took them a minute to regain their sences.

''Kurokocchi!'' Kise was the one that took the initiative and followed the bluenette after giving Katashi one last hatefull look. It took another minute or so before he was followed by Kagami and Aomine. They always took the role of the bluenette's protectors very seriously. The two lights were constantly ready to kick anyone's ass when they tried to hurt their shadow. Jabberwock learned this fact when Nash attacked Kuroko at the bar.

Akashi, Midorima and Murasakibara stayed in the place without moving a muscle. They stayed as if they were frozen, glaring dangerously at Katashi with hate in their eyes. Kuroko was always keeping his posture and paid attention to his behaviour, always being quiet and composed. Only very uptight situations made him change this habit. Like when they played against Kirisaki Daichi. But this situation for some reason was worse. Kuroko acutually screamed at someone.

''What the hell did you do to our teammate?'' Akashi growled dangerously.

''I have no idea what you are talking about! It was just a friendly chat! I didn't do anything. I'm telling the truth!'' Katashi laughed, raising his hands in the air mockingly.

''And I'm not buying it, try again...'' Akashi said, his voice low and full of anger. ''Think long and properly before you start lying to me.''

''Ooohh, feisty one, huh?'' Katashi said scoffingly. His smirk was only getting wider. ''It seems to me that you don't know much about your friend.'' he added.

''What do you mean by that?'' Midorima asked, narrowing his eyes.

''Well...''

Kuroko was siting with his back against the tree and his face hidden between his knees. Tears were flowing from his eyes, unable to stop them, he let them flow down his cheeks to his chin.

''Kurokocchi!''

Kuroko flinched when he heard his name being called. He didn't want to face anyone right now. He just wanted to be left alone. But he knew that it was inevitable. The voice was getting closer and closer. Kuroko took a deep breath and tried to brace himself for the upcoming situation when he heard the steps stopping right infornt of him..

''Kurokocchi...'' Kise whispered lightly. The blond slowly crouched down in front of Kuroko, placing his hand on his friends head. ''Look at me.'' When he saw no reaction from the bluenette he moved his hand past Kuroko's arm to grab his cheek. With his thump his tried to wipe the tears from Kuroko's face. ''Please?'' he added softly. Only after that Kuroko slowly lifted his head only to meet Kise's worried eyes.

Kise's breath stopped for a second when he saw their shadow's face. His eyes were puffy and red from crying. His nose was slightly red and there were still visible tears running on his cheeks to his chin. ''Please don't hate me...'' the bluenette said so silently, voice barely above whisper.

''What are you talking about?''

''Please...please don't hate me.'' the bluenette said as more tears were forming in his eyes.

The blond couldn't handle it anymore. He wrapped his stong arms around Kuroko's body and held him tightly against his chest. With one hand he held Kuroko head so that he couldn't move away and his other hand was placed around Kuroko's waist. He held him so tight like if he would let go of him the bluenette would dissapear forever. Putting his head on Kuroko's shoulder he whispered into his ear. ''I would never hate you, Kurokocchi,'' he said, running his fingers through the blue hair slowly. ''No matter what. I promise you.'' he said with confidence in his voice. ''And so goes for the others, I'm sure. You are the one who never gave up on us. You went through hell to bring us back. You never give up, you know? You are simply so amazing.'' Kise smiled and caressed Kuroko's cheek. Kise lifted his head to look at Kuroko and the bluenette decided to do the same, raising his eyes to meet the golden ones.

''Y-You sure?''

''Of course!''

''But...'' the bluenette didn't have time to finish his protest when he heard another voice.

''He's right, you know, Tetsu?''

''Yeah, what the hell do you think o us Kuroko?''

Kuroko and Kise turned their attention to the two players who came up beheind Kise. Amine and Kagami stood there with sad smiles visible on their faces. They went to the other two and sat down. Kagami ruffed Kuroko's hair protectivelly while looking straight into Kuroko's eyes. Aomine placed his hand on Kuroko's knee and squeesed it reassuringly, his thumb carresing his knee slowly.

Kuroko could only look at them with his eyes wide open. He was glad they were there with him right now. Though he was scared, they kept him company and he was sure they would help him through this hard time. He was also glad that they were the one who found him. Not that he liked the ones missing one anymore less then these peaple, but he felt like he was most close with them. Kise was the one who showed the most open affection towards him and Aomine and Kagami were his lights. Past or current, it didn't matter anymore. They were unreplaceable part of his life.

They had the right to know.

Kuroko let a small smile appear on his face as he faced his face. ''Thank you. Thank you for being here...'' he whispered. ''T-There...there's something I-I have to tell you.'' Kuroko stuttered.

The others just smiled, never taking their eyes of their friend as they nodded. ''You can tell us anything, you know that.'' Kagami said. ''We won't judge you no matter what.''

''Yeah.'' Kise and Aomine said at the same time.

''The truth is...'' Kuroko started while remembering the awful moments from his past connecting him to Katashi. He decided to tell them what really happened that night.

Flashback

''You okay there, kiddo?'' Katashi asked while sitting on the bench next to Kuroko.

''Couldn't be better.'' he answered bitterly. He didn't really feel like talking today. He had been through enough. He wasn't in mood for talking to some stranger. He ran his hand through his hair, then resting his hand on his forehead.

''You sure? Come on. Let's have something to drink. You'll feel better.'' Katashi said while tugging Kuroko on his hand, making him stand up from the bench. ''It's my teat.'' he smiled.

''No, I don' t really feel like-''

''Come oon! You look like crap! So let's go! It will help you forget all your troubles.''

Naah what the hell...Kuroko thought and followed the stranger. ''What's your name?'' he asked and he grabbed his bag from the gournd.

''Katashi. And you are?''

''Kuroko. Kuroko Tetsuya.''

''Nice to meet you, Tsuuuuuya.''

After heading to the bar and having some drinks, Takashi decided to drag Kuroko to his appertment. Even though Kuroko mentioned that he was still underage countless of times and that he should not drink, Katashi still managed to get him to drink some shots, claimimng that it was a good way to get away from the troubles and problems in your life. Kuroko had never drank any alkohol in his life before, so it wasn't a suprise that he was getting pretty drunk after three shots of vodka and a few beers.

His head was feeling funny. He couldn't stand properly so he was holding Katashi's arm for support as they were heading towards Katashi's palce. ''You are soooo kind to meee. My friends...well so-called friends are being so cruel. They don't need me anymore. But youuu, you are so kind! I-I think I like youuu.'' Kuroko said while laughing drunkenly. Katashi just smirked as he placed his armd around Kuroko's waist. Afte a few minutes of walking they arrived at Katashi's place.

Feeling so light-headed, Kuroko didn't even register that Katashi was taking cloths off him as he laid in the bed.

The next morning when Kurko woke up, he felt like his head was about to explode. His vison was blurry as he slowly sat up and looked around himself. He noticed his clothes were around his room. Oh God... he thought as he made his way from the bed to pick up his clothes to dress himself. His whole body was hurting like hell. He walked out of the room to the living room only to find Katashi sitting on the couch drinking coffe.

''Morning.'' Katashi said while smirking.

''G-Good morning.'' the bluenette said, keeping his eyes on the ground. ''I-I'm..'' he couldn't find the right words to say. Hell, he couldn't fing any words to say. It was like his whole mind had been erased.

''Soooo...you like me?'' Katashi laughted.

''What? Well...I...I don't...ehm..''

''Oh. My .God! You really are gay?! I thought you were kididng!'' Katashi couldn't hold himself as he laughed hard. ''That's gross!''

''W-What?'' Kuroko just stared. What was he saying? ''But we...'' he started.

''Maaan, get yourself a doctor!'' Katashi said while standing up and walking towards now terrified bluenette.

''But I thought...''

''What? That I'm gay? That I like you? Hahaha! Gross! Please! My girlfriend, well ex-girlfriend to be precise, broke up with me that night. I was just horny and drunk! And let's be honest, you look quite like a girl. Not very muscular, small frame, slim body...if you had boobs you would be a perfect chick!''

''What?'' Kuroko didn't undrestand what was happening. There were so many thoughts running through his mind that scared him, he was unable to move. The only thing he could do was stare at the man in front of him.

''You really are disgusting.'' Katashi said, laughing histerically.

At that point, Kuroko couldn't take it anymore. He quickly grabbed his bag that was tossed in the living room next to the cough, he put on his shoes and run out of the appartment, Katashi's laugh still in his head. Hunting him like a nightmare.

He ran. He kept on running untill he was inside his own home, inside him room he collapsed on his bed. In that moment he realised what just happened. He couldn't help it anymore. He let the tears flow on his cheeks as he cried.

He cried and cried. The tears just couldn't stop. He felt so betrayed. So humiliated.

He felt disguating.

He felt fithty.

He felt like dying. He felt so stupid.

He didn't have anyone.

I'm all alone.

I'm not normal.

I'm gross.

Somebody...please...help me...

End of flashback

Kuroko kept his gaze on the ground. He couldn't lift his eyes up to meet his friends eyes. They are gonna hate me. Resent me. I'm gonna be all alone, again and this time forever. They'll think I'm disgusting, sick, repulsive... Kuroko couldn't help but had these thoughts in his head. It was the only thing he could think of.

For a few seconds there was a dead silence. It was like the time has stopped. No one even dared to breathe.

This is the end. The bluenette thought. They are gonna hate me, leave me, abandon-

Kuroko didn't even have time to finish his thought when he heard a growl full of anger.

''That son of a bitch took advantage of you in that state?!'' Kagami growled dangerously.

Kuroko lifted his head and took a look at his friends. All three of them looked like they were about to kill someone.

''I'm gonna rip his lungs out...''

''That fucker is so dead...''

''I'm gonna kill him for doing this to you...''

Kuroko stared at them. Then blinked a few times in a row.

Huh?!
