All he wanted was for them to hang out again just like they did back in middle school. Kise being the annoying person that he is, running around screaming 'Kurokocchi!, Aominecchi!, Midorimacchi!, Murasakibaracchi!, Akashicchi!, Momoicchi!' like a little kid. Midorima being the weird horoscope-obsessed person that he is, carrying around his lucky items he got from god knows where.

Murasakibara being the gluttonous person that he is, demanding food from anyone when he's already eating chips, quite noisily too. Momoi being the bubbly girl that she is, scolding her blue-haired childhood friend and admiring Kuroko to an extent she gets massive nosebleed and faints. Aomine, being the lazy and troublesome guy that he is, sometimes not paying attention and is a basketball idiot. Last, but absolutely not the least, Akashi, being the gentle captain he once was.

That was his goal, to bring his friends together and hang out like they once had in their middle school days. But that wasn't possible at that time. When his basketball was not strong enough to make them see. Their egos grew and it teared their friendship apart and they grew distant from each other.

But then he came. The light—that changed everything. Kuroko Tetsuya is really grateful for meeting that person that brought back his old friends back, for making them realize their love for the sport that brought them all together. And for that Kuroko was thankful.

He let out a small smile, eyes radiating joy at the sight of them arguing — teasing each other, one green-haired male taking the basketball from the ground and connecting his fist to the three idiot's forehead to stop their bickering about who gets the dibs on being on the same team as a certain redhead.

"Atsushi, Daiki, Ryota. You are all being annoying. Stop arguing about who gets to be on the same team as Taiga." Akashi frowns, arms crossed over his chest, mismatched eyes narrowed. The said men pouted and recoiled, afraid they'll incur the wrath of their ex-captain.

"Well, let's just divide everyone evenly okay? So we can start already!" Momoi inserts, frustrated at the boy's constant bickering. They decided to hang out for the day per Kuroko and Kagami's requests, which they ended up meeting up in a local basketball court.

"I'll be the referee!" she added.

"Momoi's right, Now let's start with..." Midorima started to divide the them into a group, impatient to start their game already. As the others began to get ready, a redhead turned to look over his shoulder and his eyes caught the smiling face of...

"Hey! Kuroko! What are you smiling there for, you idiot! Get over here! We're about to start!" the redhead shouted, beckoning his hand at him. Kuroko blinks then nods, setting the book he was reading aside before making his way to his light.

"What were you doing?" the redhead asks. Kuroko met his curious red eyes.

"Well, I was thinking about thanking you for helping me bring them back again Kagami-kun. So thank you." Kagami's face flamed and he rubbed his partner's hair with his large hands.

"Why are you thanking me fool? I did nothing. You helped them. So don't thank me, it is you who brought the rainbow back together." Kagami smirked at his shadow, the expression on the cerulean haired teen was quite amusing for the tiger. Kuroko's usually pale face is covered by a vivid shade of red and he poked his partner on the rib, hard.

"Ouch! What was that for Kuroko you bastard!" Kagami growled, rubbing his abused spot tenderly. Kuroko was about to retort but six variety of voices called out his name.

"Tetsuya." Akashi.

"Kurokocchii!" Kise.

"Kuroko." Midorima.

"Tetsu!" Aomine.

"Kuro-chin." Murasakibara.

"Tetsu-kun!" Momoi.

Kuroko stared at his friends — smiling happily at him. There they are, his precious friends. He couldn't help but smile back, his chest overflowing with positive feelings. Now that the storm was finally over, a rainbow will surely shine brightly in the clear blue sky.
