Generation of Roommates
Chapter 6: A Sleepover with Roommates?
"Kuro-chin, do you have extra blankets?"
Kuroko tilted his head, thinking. "I think we do," he guessed. He hoped so. Seeing how he was of a family of three, home supplies were fairly small. "Why do you ask, Murasakibara-kun?"
The giant chewed the remaining potato chips in his one of many bags, then swallowed. "I get cold during the night~"
Kuroko nodded in agreement. "I'm sorry Murasakibara-kun. We don't have a heating system in our house, only air conditioning."
Murasakibara petted the smaller teen's hair soothingly. "That's okay Kuro-chin." A sudden grin spread on his face as an idea popped up in his head. "I'd be warmer if Kuro-chin slept with me~"
"That's indecent, Murasakibara-kun." The light blue-haired boy waved off the hand petting his hair, not amused.
"Heehh, but if we sleep together than we'd be warmer."
"That's true, but-"
"And I wouldn't need another blanket."
"Even if you won't, I don't think I-"
"I have coupons for vanilla shakes at Maji Burger~"
Kise was in a panic. How was he going to tell the others? How was he going to tell Akashi?!
The once clean and tidy room he shared now looked as if it were caught in a tornado. Neatly hanged clothes were thrown carelessly on the floor, leaving the closet almost empty. Bed sheets sprawled out and hanging off the beds along with pillows out of place. Even his mattress was out of its bed frame!
By now the blond was sweating buckets, his mind going to pieces. What should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, WHAT SHOULD I DO! Kise scratched his head in frustration and gave a yell to the white ceiling. "Mou! Maybe I should come out say it," he gulped nervously. "I just hope I won't get punished-ssu."
As if his steps were one of a robot, Kise dragged down the hallway and stood a good few moments in front of Akashi's and Murasakibara's room. He gulped once more. Please have mercy on me, Kami-sama! Deciding to try make this predicament as quick and painless and possible, Kise twisted open the door knob, and barged into the room yelling like his life depended on it (which technically, it did).
"I'VE LOST KUROKOCCHI!"
The model's eyes were screwed shut, waiting for the pain to come but none came. Slowly, he opened his right eye to check the room, and found it deserted. Akashi's bed was neatly folded with pillows all in place, but for whatever reason lacked the red-head himself. Kise sighed in relief. I've been saved! Turning his gaze over to the other occupied bed he noticed a giant blanket bunched into a ball. Seeking refuge, Kise confronted the bed and shook the sleeping body deep within. "Murasakibaracchi! You need to help me!" He spoke hurriedly as he pulled down the blanket to find the purple-head. "Wake up! I can't Kurokocchi anywher–"
Kise's sentence fell short when he fully pulled off the blanket, leaving his mouth speechless and eyes wide. At the doorway entered Mirdorima and Aomine, the dark-skinned teen letting out a yawn while scratching his chest under his night shirt.
Midorima scowled, annoyed with having to be awaken by Kise's yell practically every morning. "You better have a good reason this time," he seethed.
Aomine followed in equal annoyance. "I swear if it's about needing extra conditioner again, I'm gonna kick your–"
"SH!"
"HA?" Stomping over to Kise, Aomine grabbed the front of the blond's shirt, ready to give the idiot a piece of his mind until he saw the sleeping body.
Or to put it correctly: bodies.
"What–"
"–the–"
"–HELL!"
There was Murasakibara, snoring the morning away. In his arms laid a Kuroko, curled into a cat-like ball, trying to bask in the giant's warmth. To reciprocate, the purple-haired teen had his large arms wrapped around the phantom, as if the tiny teen wasn't close enough as it was. The trio blinked at the sight, neither speaking a word as they stared down at the pair. And was that a hand trying to wander into Kuroko's shorts?!
Being the tsundere he was, Midorima blushed furiously, and practically screeched at the sight. "MURASAKIBARA! WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON!"
Said giant blinked his droopy eyes open quickly angered to yelled awake, especially when he was having such a nice rest. "Go away before I crush you." His voice was hard and threatening, as he ignored the others in the room. Murasakibara moved to tighten his arms around the sleeping Kuroko, only to find the body missing. Fully awaken by his anger, the giant sat up and glared at the annoying trio where Aomine had sneakily taken Kuroko from the bed. Throughout the whole ordeal, Kuroko somehow managed to remain asleep.
"Give Kuro-chin back!" Murasakibara yelled childishly.
Aomine held his shadow tighter to him in bridal style, careful not wake him up. "Forget it! Tell us why he was sleeping with you in the first place!"
The purple-head growled when Kise joined in as well. "Why did you take Kurokocchi away! He's my roommate-ssu!"
"Kuro-chin wanted to sleep with me!"
Midorima clicked his tongue, "Just because you bribed him with vanilla doesn't mean he wanted to sleep with you, Murasakibara!"
Annoyed, Murasakibara finally stood up from his bed and towered over the offending trio that took his Kuro-chin away. Kise, Midorima, and Aomine (along with a sleeping Kuroko) were engulfed by the 6 foot 10 monster's shadow, each of their eyes widening in fear. Aomine snapped out of his fear, and held Kuroko tightly before yelling, "RUN!"
Aomine skid out the door almost slipping on the wooden floor, but was able to regain his balance and ran down the hallway. The other two followed suit, and luckily for their fast reflexes, Midorima ducked just in time before a pillow was harshly thrown towards him while Kise jumped when an alarm clock was aimed for his feet. Limited to space and time, Aomine headed for the stairs and instead of running down step for step, sat on the railings and slid down with ease. Midorima ran down the steps as Kise followed the other two. Unfortunately for the blond, he looked back only to be hit by a pillow making him lose his balance and fall down the stairs, bringing Midorima down with him.
Fallen at the end of the stairs with glasses cracked, Midorima yelled, "KISE YOU IDIOT!"
"GOMEN-SSU!"
"MINE-CHIN!"
Aomine made a break for the living room, sweating nervously at Murasakibara's growl. "Shit!"
Murasakibara jumped over the pile of bodies at the end of the stairs that consisted of a certain green and yellow haired teens. The impact of his landing caused almost all of the house's flooring to shake. Finally caught up with the ganguro, Muraskibara positioned himself in a defending stance as if they were playing a basketball match. Purple irises began to glow in complete rage. "Give Kuro-chin back Mine-chin." Aomine internally scream at the sight. Did he just enter the Zone?!
The tanned teen was practically cornered into the living room, any other attempt to escape the giant would only lead to a dead end. Even he would end up dead. Gulping, Aomine looked around the rooms one last time and looked towards the kitchen. Murasakibara caught this, and started to run towards the kitchen as Aomine started to run in that direction. By some miracle, Aomine faked the movement and quickly dashed to the front door with Kuroko in his grasp. Murasakibara yelled once again, twice as enraged that was tricked and went to follow after Aomine.
"AAARGGH!" As if giving out a battle cry, Aomine moved to kick down the front door but stopped short when the door opened itself and there stood their one and only captain, Akashi. The redhead raised a brow at the scene before Aomine turned around in fear, and threw a sleeping Kuroko up and out of his arms as he was tackled down by Murasakibara. Akashi watched as the phantom defied gravity, and gracefully fell into his open hands.
Kuroko's face scrunched up in mild discomfort, then relaxed as he big blue eyes opened owlishly. He rubbed a hand at his eyes drowsily, and yawned in awakening. He looked up to see Akashi stared intently down at him. "Ohayo, Akashi-kun."
"Ohayo, Tetsuya." Akashi smiled down at the teen, though it was obvious to Kuroko that something had unnerved the redhead. Kuroko looked around, and was greeted with the sight of a blind Midorima, a beaten-up Kise, a fainted Aomine, and a pouting Murasakibara. The sixth man blinked twice, then twice again.
"Eh?"
After regaining consciousness, all the miracles knelt before the emperor ready for their lecture. Akashi crossed his arms as he stood over the ashamed and bruised color-coded teens. Kuroko was excluded, as he went about preparing breakfast for others.
"Now," Akashi began. "Explain."
Every miracle stayed silent, too scared to answer to the menacing red-head. Murasakibara spoke, although with a pout, "Mine-chin stole Kuro-chin from me!"
"Stole?" Akashi narrowed his eyes.
Aomine tried to defend himself. "Oi! Your the one stole Tetsu first!"
"I didn't steal Kuro-chin! You're all just jealous Kuro-chin wanted to sleep with me and not you!"
Kise gasped dramatically. "If anyone deserves to sleep with Kurokocchi it's me!"
"Ha! Dream on. The only one who'll sleep with Tetsu is me."
"All of you sound like perverts," Midorima mumbled out. Secretly, his thoughts were the same as the others– not that he'd say them aloud.
"Midorimacchi doesn't get a say in this! You're the one who kissed Kuroko while he was sleeping!"
"O-OI!"
"Is that true, Shintarou?"
Midorima gulped at the sight of sharpened scissors that magically appeared into Akashi's hands. Now put on the spot, the greenett's words lost its coherency as he tried to lamely defend himself. "I-I wa-a-s-s j-j-just– I-I-I did-didn-didn't-t m-m-me-a-n to– It's-s-s n-ot wha-t y-y-yo-u th-in-k!"
As if being was summoned, Kuroko entered the room holding a tray of cups fulled with warm tea. He meant to give the miracles a cup until he stopped at Midorima's confession. Blue eyes widen in brief shock, but only to return to it's original impassiveness. Deciding to rescue the tsundere, Kuroko stepped in and placed a hand on Akashi's that welded his weapon. "Please do not do anything drastic, Akashi-kun," he said.
"Oh?" Akashi looked down at the phantom sixth man with eyes slightly less menacing. "Explain your side then, Tetsuya."
Kuroko sighed at the attention he drew to all the miracles. "Due to a shortage, I supplied Murasakibara-kun with warmth that blanket would have if it were available."
Aomine blinked rapidly, trying to comprehend the shadow's words. "Are you serious..?"
"I am serious."
Then, Kise brightened up and exclaimed, "I get cold at night too Kurokocchi!"
"You have your heater Kise-kun, please use it to your best ability."
"Hido!"
Akashi, now fully informed of the situation, was thinking of what punishment would be appropriate for not Murasakibara– but Kuroko. "Well Tetsuya, seeing how everyone is in need of a 'blanket', it seems we need a compromise." The red-head smirked to himself at his brilliant idea. It will be punishment indeed.
Kuroko tilted his head in confusion. "What kind of compromise?" The emperor smiled gleefully at his innocence.
"Sleep with us."
"Yay~! Sleep over with Kurokocchi!"
"Baka. How can it be a sleepover if we're all housemates?"
"As usual, Midorimacchi takes away all the fun-ssu."
"Oi..."
Placed in two rows of three, each of the six miracles laid down their futons in front and beside each other. They all resided in the downstairs living room with Kuroko in the middle of Aomine and Midorima. In front of them, laid Kise and Murasakibara with Akashi in the middle so his bedding was placed infront of Kuroko's.
Aomine stretched his arms out and took the liberty to lean against Kuroko–whom already settled himself into bed–and laid his head on Kuroko's back as the shadow laid on his stomach, facing the other three. "We should've just done this in the beginning," Kuroko commented. "This is fun."
Eating his nightly pack of Maibo, Murasakibara pointed out, "We could've, but Mine-chin wanted to play tag~"
"Oh, shut it."
Kise wailed his daily dose of crocodile tears. "Mou! How come I don't get to sleep next to Kurokocchi!" The blond looked over to Akashi. "Let's trade places Akashicchi! I'll even do triple training! So can I sleep in front of Kurokoc–AH!" Annoyed, Aomine threw a pillow at the blond's face that thankfully stopped Kise's further blabbering.
Akashi and Kuroko looked at the quiet tsundere, faces almost identical if not for their different colored irises. The captain was first to speak. "Is something wrong?"
Midorima jumped, slightly uncomfortable about sleeping next to Kuroko for the night. "Er, uh, maybe I should let Kise s-sleep next to Kuroko instead."
His blush went unnoticed as Kuroko bluntly told the green-head, "But I want to sleep next to Midorima-kun."
A pillow was thrown at the tsundere by a certain angered model.
Kuroko frowned in worry. "Are you okay, Midorima-kun..?"
The red-head sighed at the fallen teen. "Don't mind him Tetsuya. He simply collapsed due his denial to face reality." Not long after he said those words, Akashi himself was hit in the face with a pillow that "never missed its shot."
As the night carried on, Kise held up a finger as an idea popped up in his head. "We should play truth or dare!"
Aomine scowled. "Ha? What are we, girls?"
"Think about it!" Kise persisted, "We could get to know things about each other we never knew before!"
The tanned teen scoffed, "Fine. I dare Midorima to stop being a tsundere for a day."
"You don't get to choose for me, ganguro!"
"SHUT UP!"
Kise ignored the two, and continued on with the idea. "Okay! Let's start with Kurokocchi! Kurokocchi, truth or dare?"
Murasakibara blew a bubble from the gum he was currently chewing, and stopped to say, "Kuro-chin feel asleep~" before blowing an impressive bubble until it popped. Everyone turned to the quiet phantom, and to see that he was, in fact, fast asleep. None of the miracles could find it in their hearts to wake the sixth man, and decided to also get read for bed as well.
After being volunteered (more like volunteered himself) to turn off the lights, Midorima made his way back to his futon to settle for the night. He laid down until he was comfortable, and removed his glasses to put aside. A faint blush arose as he debated whether or not to face Kuroko. Midorima quickly turned his back to the phantom and shut his eyes desperately–trying to find the will to sleep, which would've came until...
Did a snake come into the house?!
The green-head suddenly felt something slither around his leg, sending him into a slight panic. Opening one of his eyes, he looked under sheets to find a sight that would only cause his face to burn like an instant flame.
The "snake" he thought to be slithering into his bed sheets was instead a pale, rather feminine looking, leg intertwining its own around Midorima's. A leg that belonged to the none other than Kuroko Tetsuya.
Midorima began to freak out. Should he move away from Kuroko? Or should he wake him up? Deciding the latter, Midorima whispered in the dark, "Kuroko–"
"Midorima."
Said teen turned his body fully around to face the body that laid on the other side of Kuroko. Whom, he might add to himself, looked absolutely adorable with his hand curled closed near his mouth. Over the phantom however, Midorima was met with a glare from Aomine as he growled lowly, "Don't go and do something stupid."
The green-head clicked his tongue, "As if this was my doing!"
Aomine's expression went from a scowl to a smirk. "Good," he taunted the tsundere as he boldly pulled Kuroko to him. His snickering was cut short when he met face to face with a baseball.
Lucky item indeed.
Yay! Long chapter! I'm sorry if this chapter was kind of dull... Remember to leave suggestions for next chapter in the reviews, thanks for reading! Happy Halloween everyone!
