That night after I finally got Mayuzumi to let me go home, I went straight to bed. I tried processing what had happen. I decided to thinking about it when the right time came. I felt my eye lids heavy and went into a heavy sleep.
The next morning, I woke and went to the usual process of getting ready for school. Wash my face, brush my teeth, dress, eat breakfast and then left for school.
Nigou ran out of the house before I completely closed the door. I smiled at the puppy and he barked happily. I didn't have to put a leash on him because he was smart and knows that he shouldn't wonder away. I walked to school with Nigou following. After a good nine minutes of walking I felt my phone vibrate. I took my phone out of my pocket and flipped it open. I couldn't help myself but sigh after I saw who the sender was. "Mayuzumi Chihiro," I read.
I open the text to read:
From: Mayuzumi Chihiro
To: Kuroko Tetsuya
[Sub] Morning
Good morning Tetsuya-kun. I'll see you when you are done with school. I'll wait at your school's gate then we can get to know each other.
.
.
.
It's a date.
[End]
"Seriously…" I whispered to myself. I remembered how Mayuzumi had gotten my number and finally remembered that Mayuzumi had asked *cough*force*cough* me to exchange numbers just yesterday.
"Kuroko! What are you doing smiling like that?" I heard Kagami-kun's voice. He was walking towards me with curious eyes.
"Eh? I'm smiling?" I didn't notice and touched my face with fingertips. I smiled? I thought. Nigou happily barked at Kagami which he visibly flinched.
"Ni-Nigou!?" He yelped before running to school while he yelled, "Don't come near me!" Nigou whimpered. I comforted the puppy after that I replied an 'okay' to Mayuzumi and stepped into school.
Meanwhile in Rakuzan, Mayuzumi Chihiro closed his phone and smiled while staring at it. He just finished changing in the locker room. A red-head with heteromatic eyes noticed and walked over towards Mayuzumi.
"Chihiro," he called.
"Akashi…" he looked up at Akashi with an emotionless face before answering, "Yes?" Akashi sharply looked at Mayuzumi.
"What are you doing here and not practicing?"
That doesn't sound like a question but a demand… Mayuzumi sighed. "I was on my way, Akashi." Mayumi shoved his phone in his locker and closed it. He then walked to the court. Akashi glanced at Mayuzumi's locker but walked away.
After school, Kuroko had gone to the basketball court and told his teammates that he was busy today and excused himself before leaving. He approached the school's gate and saw Mayuzumi there leaning on the gate. Kuroko slowly walked towards him and Mayuzumi noticed Kuroko to his surpise. Then they left Seirin. They reached Maji Burger and ordered a vanilla shake and a chocolate shake. They then left and walked around while having small chats, enjoying their drinks and looking over the shops. They finally decide to enter the gift shop and explored. Kuroko was looking at the plushies and key chains. He had spotted a set of cat key chains. One was a white cat and the other one was a black cat. He was going to grab them just to have a closer look at them but another hand reached them in an instant. Kuroko turned his head to glare at the person but realized it was Mayuzumi.
"Let's get this, Tetsuya-kun. I'll pay for them and you can have the white one."
"Why do you get the black one?"
"Because it kind of reminds me of you."
Kuroko looked at the key chains. He stared at the white cat and it kind of resembled the emotionless young man beside him.
"Okay then, I'll have the white one but I'll pay."
"No, I'll pay."
"But.."
"I insist."
"….. Let's split.."
"…. Okay, this is kind of what couples do, right?"
The question went unanswered. Kuroko could feel some thumps on his chest. It was a very familiar feeling.
They went to pay for the key chains and decided to go to the benches near the court to put them on their phones. They left the shop and walked to the park near and sat down on the benches and put the key chains. They stared at it adoringly. It was a silent atmosphere. It wasn't awkward but calming and nice.
"I learned a lot about you," Mayuzumi suddenly broke the silence.
"What?" I asked confused. True we had small talks but he didn't ask anything about me.
"I learned that your eyes look like the clear sky… You like small and soft things. Your eyes shine when you finally lay your hands on your favorite drink. You're quiet but your eyes and movements say everything and let me know when you're happy or sad. You're stubborn but considerate, but what I love the most it is that I am the cause for you to have a small smile."
I looked at him. I felt embarrassed with the sudden confession. I felt something inside me flip and a burning sensation on my face and chest, huge thumping sounds as if there was something that wanted to jump out of my chest. The same feeling I felt for… Akashi-kun.
"You look cute when you're blushing," Mayuzmi stated. I quickly covered my face with both of my hands I'm blushing?
"Don't cover your face. I want to see."
He took hold of both of my wrist and tried to move them aside. I struggled and kept them steady.
"See? Stubborn…" he whispered and he stopped trying to pull my hands away but I felt something soft press my right hand. I pulled my hands away to see what it was but failed because his face leaned towards my mine and his lips pressed mine. I was a small chaste kiss. He pulled away and looked straight at my eyes.
"I'll capture you heart, Tetsuya."
But what we both didn't know was that my heart was already captured.
