Telling Your Friend; Getting Romantic
Kagami and Kuroko sat across from each other in Maji Burger as they often did after practice. Kagami consuming his favorite cheeseburgers and Kuroko drinking his favorite vanilla shake. Kagami seemed a little jumpy though, looking at the blunette multiple times, the phantom caught him.
"Is something the matter, Kagami-kun?" the younger player asked the red-headed tiger who swallowed hard before giving him an odd smile, Kuroko raised his eyebrow.
"I asked him out," he said, he looked really happy, chewing fast. Kuroko tilted his head.
"Oh Akashi-kun?" Kuroko asked and Kagami nodded. Telling him about how everything had happened, Kuroko only smiled for his friend. "I'm happy for you Kagami-kun, I'm also glad I'm the first to know," Kagami smirked.
"Well you're my closest friend and partner so it only makes sense," Kagami extended his fist towards the emotionless blunette who returned the gesture. "It's only been three days and we only text each other good night and good morning though, he sometimes sends me weird pictures of things he finds funny, I think it's kind of cute," Kagami shared with his friend.
"Ah yes, Akashi-kun mentioned you often send him pictures of what you're about to eat," Kagami laughed for a bit at Kuroko's comment before stopping.
"Wait, he told you?" Kagami asked, Kuroko nodded.
"Me and Akashi-kun are like pen pals so we email each other often, so I knew about this since you confessed," Kuroko told the tiger who only looked at him in shock.
"And not even a congratulations?!" he yelled feeling left out for some reason.
"Akashi-kun, wanted to keep it secret until you told someone yourself," Kuroko answered. Putting his shake down and crossing his arms. "Congratulations on dating the captain of Rakuzan, Kagami-kun," Kagami grinned again. He really was an easy guy to play with.
"Thanks," he answered sheepishly, before looking back at him. "Oh and how's Kise?" Kagami asked, unwrapping another burger. Kuroko sighed.
"Same as always," Kuroko answered, his phone began beeping uncontrollably. Kuroko flipped it open, looking at the new seven messages from the blonde.
"Damn," Kagami said, Kuroko only shook his head.
"He never stops… but I guess his clinginess is cute," Kuroko said as he typed back. They left the restaurant, Kuroko listening to all of Kagami's plans of dates. Kuroko telling him which ones may be good ideas and which wouldn't. Eventually, the blunette had to leave home and Kagami waved goodbye. As Kagami walked home he received a text, he slid his finger across the screen to see Akashi had texted him.
From: Akashi Seijuuro
Konbanwa, Taiga. I was thinking of getting a new phone this weekend, and need you to come with me.
Kagami stared at the text with wide eyes, was this, like, a date? He quickly began typing back to his smaller boyfriend.
Akashi sat staring at his phone, waiting for the small light to turn bright and see 'Taiga'. Kuroko had just talked to him about Kagami saying they were going out and that had made the heterochromatic eyed boy oddly happy. The phone brightened and her grabbed it, opening the phone.
From: Taiga
Alright, how's Saturday at 1? And where do you want to go? Have any idea of what you want? If not we can talk about it more when we're together.
Akashi bit his lip, the only reason he wanted a new phone was to be able to take better pictures and message the tiger and his minions faster.
From: Akashi Seijuuro
It's settled, pick me up at the gates of my house at one. You can help me decide on a good phone.
Kagami read the message over and over, he opened his calendar today was Wednesday. He set up a reminder before texting again.
From: Taiga
Got it, I just got home, I'll be showering and then going to bed, oyasumi.
For a moment Kagami hesitated but eventually he typed what he had been meaning to say, most of their texts had been only normal friend text, nothing explicit or even cute.
Love ya'
Akashi received the text from his boyfriend, as he read the last part, he felt his cheeks reddening. Dropping the phone, hiding his face. He was supposed to make Kagami redden, not vise-versa.
From: Akashi Seijuuro
Oyasumi.
And me too.
Kagami saw the text after his shower, grinning. Proud of some romance slowly coming up. He looked at the contact name, 'Akashi Seijuuro', rubbing his chin an idea suddenly struck him, in America, calling a boyfriend or girlfriend 'baby' was common, but Akashi probably didn't like pet names… he clicked on edit. Replacing the neat Akashi Seijuuro for the cute Akachan. Japanese for baby. He chuckled.
