Sorry. I had to rearranged the last chapters, so it's perfectly normal if you feel like you already read the first part of this chapter… It was originally at the end of the fifth one. But I had to move it here or else it wouldn't make sense… To be honest I had forgotten Tetsu and Momoi's meeting, oups! Anyway, sorry about that and I hope you'll still enjoyed that small chapter. I'll update soon with a longer one and, I think, an interesting one.

xx - C.

Himuro was sitting on the couch, Atsushi by his side. A sweet smell was coming from the kitchen. He couldn't believe how much their plan for the night had changed, but it wasn't so bad. Terry had time to sober up while walking to her place and she was interesting, not shy at all. She was asking a lot of questions, wanting to know more about him and what had been going on in Murasakibara's life. He had been surprise to see how well these two knew each other. Maybe it was because she was so lively, but when they were talking, Atsushi seamed more alive himself. But what had surprised him more was to learn that she was Kuroko's sister, which meant she was the one his brother had been talking about. He had received a few confusing texts this morning from Kagami, so he went to meet him and see what was going on.

Tatsuya was in front of Kagami's door, waiting for his brother to open up. He heard trashing around and laugh to himself, Kagami was so clumsy at times. The door finally opened.

- Hey, Taiga."

- Yo. Come in."

Himuro walked in, smelling something good, Kagami was cooking, that was probably what he heard earlier. He turned around, looking at his brother.

- What are you making?"

- Oh, some pasta, do you want some?"

- Sure."

With that, they sate at the table a huge plate of pasta in front of each of them. They ate in silence for a while, like usual it was really good. Himuro put down his fork, placing his chin on his hand, looking at Kagami.

- So, what was that all about? I didn't understand any of your texts."

- Oh. Right. That." he said becoming as red as his hair.

- Taiga?"

- Errh. It's just, something embarrassing happen this morning and I needed to talk about it..."

- Well, I'm here now, so, go on."

Kagami had explained how he had walked in Terry cooking in only panties and tank top and how he had been unable to not check her out. How he had found her curves alluring and felt like a pervert afterwards, but must of all, how he was concerned how she was seeing him now. He also explained how he was drawn to her since the first time he saw her and how he couldn't explain why.

- I mean, I've seen her what, three times? How can I care so much about how she sees me? I feel like it would be awful if she'd hate me after that... I know it's stupid..."

- Why do you say it's stupid? There are people like that who you connect instantly and from what you've told me, she seamed to have connect with you too. If she didn't, she would probably not had gone to Maji with you, right?"

- I don't know... she looks like the kind of person who won't be taken aback with this kind of thing. She seem to be able to be comfortable around anyone."

- Well, it's good that she can be comfortable around you too, no?"

- I suppose. But it was before what happen this morning."

- How did she reacted? You explained how you did, but not her."

- She was embarrassed at first, but after my shower she acted like everything was fine."

- It's good, then. Maybe she was trying not to make it awkward between you two."

- You think so?"

- I guess, I can't really say since I never met her. But seems to me like it was what she was doing. So if I was you, I wouldn't panic over this."

Taiga didn't look like he was convinced, but he seemed a little less restless, nonetheless. There was something Himuro wondered though.

- Are you interested in her? I mean, I know you say you don't know her and all, but you would be interested to know her better, right? She's your kind of girl?"

- Errh. Yeah, I guess."

Kagami was scratching the back of his neck, embarrassed. A blush was creeping to his cheeks and Himuro sweetly smiled at him. It was the first time they had this kind of conversation. It's not like Taiga didn't have girlfriends before, it was just the first time he was confused about how he felt. But Tatsuya knew him enough to be sure he was sweet on her. The fact that he didn't know her didn't change nothing, it's not because you don't know someone well that you can't be interested in them.

- I think you should act like you always had before. I mean, if you get all awkward you won't be able to know her better."

- I guess. But isn't weird to do like it never happened?"

- It's not what I said. It did happen, you can't change that. But it's no reason to avoid her or stop going to Kuroko's place. I know you have thought about doing so."

Kagami looked guilty, averting his eyes.

- Just be yourself and try not to overthink it. Like I said, I'm pretty sure she doesn't want it to be weird between the two of you. If she though you were a pervert, she probably would not have come back and have breakfast with you, don't you think?"

- Maybe..."

- And about Kuroko, I don't think he would be mad if you told him you were interested in Terry. In fact, you should talk him about it."

- What? No! I mean, I don't know if I'm interested in her like that!"

- But you said she was your kind of girl and that you wanted to know her better, did you not?"

- Yeah, but... I don't know, it's too soon to actually talk to him about it!"

- Suit yourself. I gave my opinion. Feeling better?"

- Yeah, thanks. Want to do something? Video games, movie?"

- Thanks, but I have plans with Atsushi later."

- Oh, well, thanks for the talk, then."

Now that Himuro was in Terry's kitchen, eating the cake she made for Murasakibara, he understood better why Tagai was drawn to her. She was warm, friendly, funny and had one of the most beautiful smile he never saw. The way her eyes lighted up when she talked about her brother showed how much she was a caring person. And seriously, her food: delicious. He understood why Atsushi wanted her cake so badly, even in the middle of the night.

When they finally left it was past 3AM and he could honestly say he had a good time. He took out his cellphone and texted Taiga.

"I've met your Terry. I get it now, she's really something special."

It only took a few seconds before the reply came. He softly laughed at his phone.

" WTF! How? When?"

Tetsu was in a little café waiting for Momoi, he was reflecting on the day he had with Kise. They had come up with a few ideas to get Terry and Kagami to know each other better. Nothing drastic, they didn't want them to be put in other embarrassing situations like it happened yesterday morning. It had been funny from his perspective, but he didn't want them to freak more that they already had. Kuroko was deep in thoughts when Momoi arrived.

- Tetsu-kun!" she said with a lovely smile.

- Hi, Momoi-san."

She sat in the seat in front of him putting her bag next to her.

- How was school?" he asked.

- It was alright. But something have been on my mind. I have to ask you something."

- Alright, what's going on?"

- It's about your sister."

- About Terry?"

Kuroko tilted his head, a little confused. Momoi hadn't seen his sister since she came back, so he wondered what she could have to say about her. Satsuki was playing with a strand of her hair, visibly something was bothering her.

- Well, about Terry, but also Aomine and Kagami, maybe..."

Kuroko was even more perplex. It happens often that Momoi bring her concerned about Aomine and Kagami but he wondered what Terry had to do with any of this.

- Okay... what's going on?"

- Hum. Did something happen between Kagami and your sister?"

Tetsu blinked a few times. Momoi always had good instinct, but to have guessed something like that without even having seen Terry in years surprised him.

- What do you mean by did something happen between them?"

- I don't know, exactly... How can I say it? I'll be blunt, alright? Is Kagami interested by Terry?"

- I-... I don't know for sure, maybe. Why? I mean, even if, why does it matter?"

- It matters because... Erh."

Satsuki, shifted her weight uncomfortably.

- I'll tell you, but you have to keep it to yourself, okay?"

- Alright..."

- It's all suppositions, I mean he didn't tell me anything about it, but I know him well enough to figure him out..."

- You mean, Aomine-kun?"

- Yes... I think he has something for your sister."

Kuroko's eyes widened a little.

- What?"

- And more importantly, I think he's jealous."

- Jealous? Jealous of what?"

- Kagami. He didn't say it, but like I said, I know him when well enough to tell."

- Okay... but nothing happen that could have made him jealous."

- He said that they went alone at Maji."

- And?"

- And it seemed to have bothered him. When we saw Kagami yesterday, Aomine seemed somewhat hostile toward him."

- Okay... but why are you telling me? I'm not sure I-"

- You don't get it, don't you? Kagami was the one who brought back the old Aomine to us, imagine what could happen it something bad happen between them! What if Aomine close up again? Is that a chance we are welling to take?"

Tetsuya was silent. He understood what Momoi was scared of. He didn't want Aomine to be cold again... They finally made up again, they were good friends again... He didn't want to lose that, but what could he do? He was sure Terry was interested in Kagami... If they were both interested in each other, what could they really do about it? The only thing he saw was to let down all the plans he made with Kise. Then again, it's not like Terry and Kagami would not see each other often... After all, she still is his sister and he still is his best friend. If something was to develop anything between them, he's not sure he could do something about it. More importantly, he wasn't not sure he would want to do something to stop it. Still, he understood her fears.

- Momoi-san, I understand how it could be frightening. I don't want Aomine-kun to change either, but I don't think we can do anything about it. I mean, we have to believe in him. We have to believe that even if something bad would happen between the two of them, he would get over it, that he would remain himself. They are always fighting, that's how they are and I think that will never change. I don't think Amine-kun would resent Kagami-kun if something was to happen between my sister and him. Neither would Kagami-kun if it was the other way around. They may be upset or sad at first... but we can't stop any of them from following their hearts... and that's if something do happen. We can't overreact before anything happen, you know?"

Kuroko look over at Momoi, whose eyes were wide, staring at him.

- What? Did I say something weird?" he ask, a little concerned by her reaction.

- No! It just... you never do speech like that!"

- Oh..."

- But you're right... I guess I was just scared... but now that we've spoken, I feel better. I believe in Daiki... I think he really have changed back for good." she said with the sweet smile she always has when she speaks of her best friend.

Kuroko smiled at her. He was glad that Aomine had someone who cared so much for him.

- He's lucky, you know?"

- About what?"

- To have you. You're always there for him, always taking care of him."

- Oh! Well he's been my best friend since… well, forever!" she said blushing furiously.

- I know. That's why he's so lucky."

They enjoyed the rest of their coffee, talking about more pleasant topics. Kuroko was happy to have Momoi in his life, she was such a lovely girl and a precious friend.
