Upon his return to work, Kagami was mercilessly thrown back into the world of twelve-plus hour shifts and chaotic ambulance rides. He readjusted quickly, not being the type of person to enjoy calm. Despite the newfound exhaustion from his sudden lack of sufficient sleep after a relaxing month, Kagami was the happiest he'd ever been. All of his coworkers took notice, even Aomine.
"Oi, Bakagami, get that stupid grin off your face and come help me restock the cabinets in here!" Shouted Aomine from inside one of the ambulances as Kagami approached.
"Yeah yeah. On my way, Ahomine." Was all he said, smile dimming but not disappearing,unwilling to let his annoying coworker spoil his good mood.
The reason for this positive attitude was, of course, Kuroko. The two had been dating, as best they could with their chaotic schedule, and Kagami loved it. He had dated in highschool and college, but it had never gone anywhere serious and he had never been quite so attached as he was to Kuroko. Despite the lack of time for proper dates, he did get to see Kuroko quite a lot, at work.
The small blue haired doctor would subtly brush their hands whenever they passed each other, and whenever he took one of Kagamis patients, and Kagami got to see him make faces that he had never seen before. When he was at work and focused, the gentle, soft spoken boy melted away to reveal a firm tone of voice and reassuringly steady gaze. His calm assessments and general aura always seemed to put the patients at ease, and he was something of a well of calm in their chaotic work environment. Kuroko really was a brilliant doctor, and Kagami loved seeing him in a new context.
Despite how much he loved being able to see Kuroko while he was at work, the lack of dates and proper time together did leave Kagami frustrated. So much so that, shortly after his return, when he and Kuroko had a coinciding lunch break, Kagami pulled his boyfriend into a storage locker for... Activities, despite a few mild protests.
"Kagami-kun this is a bad idea-" he was interrupted by a kiss to his lips that he couldn't help but melt into, and gasp as Kagami broke away for breath.
"My coworkers use the supplies in this closet regularly," Kuroko trailed off with a sigh, and Kagami attacked his neck with gentle kisses, nothing that would leave a mark, before migrating back to his lips.
"I don't really care... I've missed you," said Kagami hoarsely, hands roaming up and I down his slim waist. Suddenly, light flooded into the cramped space, and Kagami jerked back, wide eyes meeting with those of Takao, the nurse, who had an enormous, wicked grin spread across his face.
"Oh, Midorima and Kise both owe me a thousand yen!" He said gleefully, seemingly oblivious to what he had walked in on, and eyeing both of them with knowing eyes.
"Wait what? You were betting on us?" Asked Kagami, face bright red, annoyed at the nurse for interrupting them, and also extremely embarrassed at the situation he had found himself in. At this point, Kuroko decided to pitch in, still as composed as ever.
"Takao-kun, I would appreciate it if you would keep this quiet around the superiors for me. I know that you value the discretion surrounding your and Midorima-san's relationship." At this, the smile plastered onto Takaos face slipped slightly, and he seemed to blanch.
"Oh please, Kuroko. You and I both know that Director Akashi has known all about both of those things since the first day," he said, cocking his head.
"Fair point. Just don't mention it to too many other people." Responded Kuroko, still unruffled. Takao shrugged, his grin retuning in full.
" I am going to collect from Aomine and Kise, though. They owe me. Anyways, have fun you crazy kids~" he said, flouncing out of the storeroom abruptly, leaving them in an awkward silence. Kuroko was the first to break the silence, letting out a low chuckle. Kagami quickly joined in, forgetting how embarrassed he was, and soon neither of them could breathe from their fits of giggles.
Upon returning to work a short while later, Kagami was promptly cornered by Aomine.
"Listen up, Bakagami. Apparently you're with Kuroko now. I don't know how the fuck that happened, but he is too good for you and I expect you to worship the ground that he walks on."
Kagami had never pinned Aomine for the possessive type, but he did know that Aomine and Kuroko had maintained a friendship after their relationship. He had never actually seen them interact, though, because of his somewhat antagonistic relationship with his hot-headed coworker. Somehow it seemed like they were closer than he thought. Kagami felt a slight twinge of jealousy at the old friendship evident here, before squashing it down, knowing he didn't have anything to worry about.
"Holy crap that was fast, were you really betting on us? And I knew that, okay Ahomine? Calm your tits." He said flippantly, but also as sincerely as he would ever be with Aomine, shrugging him off, and returning to work, missing the look of relief on Aomines face.
"If you hurt Kuroko, I'll kill you, jackass!" He called the threat half-heartedly after Kagami, and returned to work.
Ten minutes later, and Kagami was fleeing Kise, who was attempting to give him sex tips, with an undertone of subtle threat, after finding out that this was the first relationship he'd been in in years. On another note, just how many overprotective basketball buddies did Kuroko even have? What the hell?
At the end of that particular day, Kagami found himself especially exhausted, even for a late shift, as he got on the train to go home. He had been able to see Kuroko a little bit after their foray in the storage locker, but he wasn't able to get any actual conversation in. As he sighed and leaned against a pole in the mostly empty train. He was startled from his reverie by his own name as he exited the train, in a very familiar voice.
"Kagami-kun." Kagami jumped a foot off the ground, and almost fell over as his boyfriend appeared no more than two feet away, seemingly from nowhere.
"Gah! Where the hell did you come from?" He asked, more awake now than he had been.
"I've been here. You just didn't notice, and it would've been rude of me to speak on the train."
"You should've told me your shift was up, I woulda walked with you, Kuroko." He grumbled, glad for the company.
"I can walk with you now. I believe our homes are in the same direction." They lapsed into comfortable silence for a few minutes then, before Kagami spoke up.
"I've missed you lately. Work is crazy." At this he looked an arm around the smaller mans shoulders and pulled him closer. Kuroko allowed himself to be pulled in and cuddles into Kagamis side.
"I enjoy being around you while at work though. You are a reassuring presence." Said Kuroko, endearment tinting his usually bland tone. He glanced up to look at Kagamis face, which was tinted pink, both from the cool night and Kurokos affectionate words. As they approached Kagamis apartment, as it was nearer to the station, Kagami felt a reluctance to part ways.
"Hey, do you want to stay over tonight? I'll cook for you tomorrow morning." He said, face reddening further as they came to the base of the steps.
"I would like that very much, Kagami-kun," said Kuroko, smiling at Kagami in a very cute way, and making the taller man all the more flustered.
"C'mon then. We'll catch a cold standing out here." Kagami moved to open the door to the apartment building and as they walked down the third floor hallway and unlocked the door, Kuroko pulled Kagami down by his collar to kiss him, before walking in. Kagami followed, dazed but happy, now that he finally had Kuroko all to himself.
