Tetsuya Kuroko was at the grocery store looking for dog food when he saw someone he wanted to avoid at all costs. He tried to ignore this person, and his quiet personality made it easy. However, this person could see through his power of misdirection, which made it impossible.
"Hey, ghost boy. How are ya?"
"I do not appreciate that name, Takao. You may address me as Kuroko like everyone does."
"Never mind that now, did you see the poster behind the register? That's Kagami and Shin-chan! Did you know they were banned from here?"
"I heard vague details from Kagami. Apparently they got into a fight in the store after a chance encounter. However, getting banned from places is nothing new for him. He's also banned from a pet shop in Shinjuku and a steak place. He should end his boorish ways."
"And the description cracked me up! 'Midorima Shintaro, age 16, 195 cm, green hair and eyes, taped fingers on left hand.' It doesn't even sound like a real person!"
"What is your relationship with Midorima? Are you involved romantically?"
"I wish. I want to be, but no matter what I say, it never seems to come out right. I probably shouldn't want to be with someone so weird, but I'm with him, it just feels right." Takao was almost somber, a great contrast to his usually cheerful personality.
"Midorima is even more oblivious than I had guessed. One time, we happened to be shopping at the same time, and a girl tried to give him her phone number. He flat-out asked her, 'What am I supposed to do with this? I don't even know who you are.' It would have been funny, if I had a sense of humor."
Kuroko turned to see Takao laughing, with a few tears coming out of his eyes. "What? That's hilarious! Please tell me that really happened!"
"It did."
"Oh, man! The team will love this! I don't think there are enough pineapples in the world for Miyaji to throw at him!"
"It was pleasant visiting with you, Takao." Even if they were rivals on the court, it seemed like they were capable of being civil in daily life.
I don't really have anything to say today.
Next time, we have Miyaji, Otsubo and Kimura. After that, it's MidoTaka. Then we have Kise, Midorima and Momoi in what will probably be the Christmas special.
Thanks for reading!
