A/N: You guys really make my day. This has been THE most successful fic I have ever written, and getting all the follows and faves mean so much! The reviews are 10x as good too! I remember when I wrote the first chapter and I had to advertise all over tumblr to get just a few views. I never thought I'd get so many just a few chapters later! Thank you again! 3
School had come back again, and things seemed to be back to normal, or whatever was deemed to be normal anyways. Kagami and Kuroko had returned to their normal routine during class and after. Neither one was one to overreact over a scenario such as their movie night. Well, not in the presence of other people, anyhow. There were a few times when they would sit together outside and Kuroko would sneak his arm around Kagami's and they'd sit like that until it was time to return to class. During practice (or what would be considered practice), Kagami couldn't keep his concentration. He found himself losing focus whenever Kuroko got too close to him. It wasn't as if he didn't enjoy the feeling, but he knew that he couldn't keep the charade up for long.
He knew that this was going to happen, and that was exactly why he tried to keep his distance from relationships until he was in a good university. With basketball on his mind, it'd be hard to focus on another person, let alone himself. He realized with a blunt realization at Maji one time that he might have had it wrong all this time. Even with or without basketball in his head, Kuroko was still there. If he thought about basketball, he thought about Kuroko playing against him. And when he thought about food, he thought about Kuroko making it. And if he thought about being in the states, he thought about Kuroko sitting in the plane next to him.
Looking at the boy, he felt as if a giant boulder had fallen on him. Did he, actually have feelings for him?! He quickly pushed his seat back in such a force that he almost fell backwards. Kuroko, shocked, stood up almost immediately and grabbed Kagami's hand. The chair clattered to the ground and Kuroko pulled Kagami onto his own two feet.
"Are you okay?" He asked the redhead. There was a nod and the chair was brought back to a sitting position. People around them murmered and a worker came over and asked if everything was alright. Kuroko nodded and was handed a towel to clean some of the mess up.
Kagami tried drowning his thoughts with his soda which only resulted in an intense brainfreeze. "Are you okay?" Kuroko asked, milkshake straw in his mouth.
"Of course I'm okay," Kagami replied through gritted teeth. "Only a few bruises, public embarrassment, and now brainfreeze. It's all good."
"Kagami-"
"I'm going home. I'll see you tomorrow." The red head grabbed his bag and left the restaurant in what appeared to be anger. Kuroko sat alone in a state of confusion and sadness. He looked solemly down at his milkshake and sighed. He looked out the window and watched as Kagami slowly faded out of sight.
"Oi, Kurokocchi!" A hand was quickly dropped on the blue head and Kuroko felt a tingle go up his spine. He REALLY didn't want to see Kise right now. "soooo, you and that hot head have been getting closer, haven't you?" Kise stated snarkly, a finger jabbed at Kuroko's forehead. "First the move, then lunch, now dinner…"
"We always eat here, it's nothing special." Kuroko pushed Kise's hand away and stood up. Kagami was probably already home by now. He was hoping to catch up after about a minute, but there was the case of the minor distraction. He picked up his bags and took a few steps from the table, before Kise grabbed his arm.
"You can always come to me, Kurokocchi if you need any help on the matter." Kise winked.
"What matter?" Kuroko looked up, blue eyes widened in curiosity.
"The matter that you love him."
