Chapter Seven
It had been two days since Kise had left the hospital and two days since Aomine had last spoken to him. The day after his settling Kise just wanted to go home and sleep. Dr Suzuki said that this was perfectly normal as Kise's body would be physically drained. He had been relatively quiet that day and when they got him into bed Aomine knew that he just wanted to be alone. So Aomine obliged and told him to take his time and let him know when he was ready to talk. Neither of them had had any time to think about the pregnancy and what they were going to do. Aomine knew that the decision was not going to be an easy one, especially for Kise. Did Aomine want children? Yeah someday. If he had the choice to have them now would he? No he wouldn't. However, Kise was pregnant and whether planned or not a choice had to be made.
Once Aomine thought about it he was surprised at how quickly he had made his choice and how easy it was. He knew what he was going to do the minute he had lay eyes on Kise in the hospital bed two nights ago. It was Kise's decision and Aomine would support him 100% on whatever he decided. He just had to wait.

Kise was in his room, leaning against the wall, sitting on his bed, fingers hovering over the keypad of his mobile. He took a deep breath and began to type. After he was satisfied with what he had written he hit the send button. He put his phone down and sat waiting for the reply with one hand resting on his abdomen.

It was Sunday aftertoon and Aomine was shooting hoops at the basketball court. He dribbled the ball towards the net and took a shot. The ball bounced off the side of the net and landed directly into Kuroko's hands. Aomine started to laugh.
"nice to see your misdirection is as strong as ever."
"same can't be said for you. That's the…what….3rd basket you've missed in a row? Hell if this is what it takes for you to miss Kise should get pregnant more often". Kuroko threw the basketball back to Aomine who scoffed.
"What are you doing here Tetsu?" he asked as he made another shot. And missed. This time Kuroko let the ball bounce.
"Witnessing a breakdown apparently. You weren't in school yesterday"
Aomine walked to the side of the court where his zip-up hoodie was waiting. He put it on and sat on the floor, his back against the mesh. Kuroko sat next to him.
"No. Kind of didn't feel like going y'know?"
"Yeah I know". Neither friend spoke for a moment.
"Have you spoken to him?" asked Kuroko.
"Not since Friday. He said he wanted to be alone. Needed time to think things through"
"Yeah it's not an easy decision to make. Glad I'm not the one making it" sighed Kuroko.
"But….if it was….what would you do?" asked Aomine.
"Me? I don't know" after a moment's pause he continued, "I don't think Taiga and I are ready for kids. I mean can you imagine? It would be a disaster."
Aomine laughed at the mental image of his long-time friend trying to play with a child.
"Oh yeah cause we'd make great parents" he joked.
Kuroko looked at him, "I think you would". Aomine was slightly taken aback by his friends' honest statement. The pair sat in silence.
"so….Taiga huh?" asked Aomine, a sly grin spreading across his lips.
Kuroko rolled his eyes, "it's something we're trying. Or rather I'm trying. It's just so embarrassing. He just blurted out my name just like that…..right in the middle of…..y'know…..it…i mean, who does that!?"
"and…..what happened?" teased Aomine.
"well he asked me to say his name and I did and then…."
"what? Oh don't tell me he went soft…" Aomine cringed.
"no! God no. It was fucking fantastic. I mean, I've never had an orgasm like that in my entire life. No offense. And I know he hasn't"
"So what's the problem?" Aomine chuckled as Kuroko turned several shades darker with no offense taken whatsoever.
"Well now he's started calling me by my first name and it's just embarrassing. I go soooo red. And the thought of me even calling him by his first name is enough to make me wanna bury my head in the sand. Normal day-to-day life is different than when you are in the middle of having sex and you can feel the most intense orgasm waiting around the corner" rambled Kuroko.
By this point Aomine was in stitches.
Kuroko also laughed "im just not used to this….all this relationship stuff."
"Yeah it does take some getting used to. But you know maybe it won't be as bad as you think. I mean, Kagami is a stand-up guy. If it bothers you that much just tell him how you feel, he won't mind"
"yeah I know. I'm just being stupid"
Aomine ruffled Kuroko's hair, "no not stupid. You're learning. It is your first serious relationship"
At that moment Aomine's phone beeped. He took out his phone and read the message. Once he'd finished, he sent a quick reply and stood up.
"sorry to cut this conversation short Tetsu but I've been summoned"
Kuroko smiled and nodded. He watched as Aomine picked up the ball on his way across the court and made a shot without even stopping to aim or look at the basket. And this time the ball went in. From the look on Aomine's face and the way he held himself as he left the court, told Kuroko one thing. The text Aomine had just received was undoubtedly from Kise.

BlackIredescence thankyou for your words of encouragement! It truly means a lot and I'm looking forward to the fluff too :)
I quite like this chapter. It isn't my intention to bring all the characters from the manga into it cause that would just be too much (lazy mode kicking in), but I quite like writing Kuroko, especially a more extroverted version who openly talks about his sex life haha.
Again thanks to everyone for reading and following and favouriting! This is my first ever fanfiction and I'm glad people are enjoying it
