And... It's time for our two phantoms! Seriously... I think there's something missing... Can't put my finger on it... What about you~?
After entering the bookstore, the two phantoms looked through the shelves separately to look for their own books that they want to check or buy.
While the two phantoms were busy, our two teams namely Seirin and Rakuzan have also entered the bookstore and separate ( not too far ) from each other to avoid getting noticed. The two phantoms were too busy to notice their presence.
The Seirin and Rakuzan have been observing the two for awhile but their targets doesn't look like they'll engaged on a conversation. But their thoughts were erased once Rakuzan's phantom Mayuzumi walked towards Seirin's phantom Kuroko and called out to him.
" I found some books that caught my interest. What about you Kuroko-kun? Mayuzumi asked while walking towards the teal head teen.
" I found one but I'm still looking at the others. " Kuroko replied then turned towards the light grey head teen. " You got three of them? " Kuroko asked eyeing the books which is held by Mayuzumi.
" Yeah. I can't seem to choose since they all looked interesting. " Mayuzumi reasoned.
" I see. " Came the small response. While still eyeing the books Mayuzumi is holding, Kuroko saw the titles and chuckled a bit, startling the light grey head teen. " Romance novel? " Kuroko asked.
" Yeah. Why? Something wrong with it? " Mayuzumi asked back, still a bit dazed hearing the teal head's laugh.
" Nope. I just didn't know Mayuzumi-san into those kinds. " Kuroko replied.
" What? We have different kinds of taste. " Mayuzumi reasoned.
" Hai, hai. " Kuroko said, chuckling a bit, earning a glare from the light grey head teen.
" Stop laughing. What's yours anyways? " Mayuzumi asked, still glaring a bit.
Kuroko stopped laughing and showed Mayuzumi the book he's holding.
" Sherlock Holmes? " Mayuzumi raised an eyebrow. " You're into detectives I see. "
Kuroko nodded " I don't like suspense much though. "
" Is that the only book you'll buying? " Mayuzumi asked , tilting his head.
" I guess so. The other books didn't really caught my interest. " Kuroko sighed.
" Why don't you try other kinds of books other than detective stuffs? " Mayuzumi offered.
" Well pardon me if I'm not a romantisist like you. " Kuroko glared at the light grey head teen but to Mayuzumi , it's more like Kuroko was doing a pout instead.
Suddenly Mayuzumi raised a hand towards the teal haired boy and ruffled his hair, surprising the teal head in the process.
" Mayuzumi-san? " Kuroko asked, surpised by the light grey head teen's action.
" You know... What you're doing is a pout not a glare. " Mayuzumi said, still ruffling Kuroko's hair.
" Please stop messing my hair, Mayuzumi-san. " Kuroko frowns while prying off the light grey head teen's hand off.
" You don't like your hair getting messed up? " Mayuzumi teased.
" Ofcourse. It takes minutes to trim it after all. " Kuroko reasoned.
" Then... " Mayuzumi started, raising a hand once again towards the teal head's head, confusing him. Mayuzumi then started fixing Kuroko's hair, smoothing it. " I'll fix it since I was the one who messed it up. " Kuroko only blinked and remained silent.
" There we go. " Mayuzumi exclaimed after fixing Kuroko's hair.
Kuroko pouted " Please don't do that again. "
" Why? I fixed it, didn't I ? " Mayuzumi asked, smiling a bit.
Mayuzumi earned another glare from the teal haired teen with a ' Hmp' and Kuroko looked away. Mayuzumi then grinned at this without the latter noticing.
" Eh? Koganei-senpai? " Kuroko asked, surprised to see his teammate hiding beside the other shelves though failed.
Mayuzumi, also surprised looked where Kuroko was looking and saw some of his teammates too and frowns. " What are you guys doing? And why are you hiding there? "
At this everyone got out of there hiding place and walked towards the two phantoms.
" Oh, nothing much~. " Mibuchi replied, smiling, making the light grey head teen frown once more.
" So~? What are you guys doing~? " Hayama cheerfully asked, making Nebuya face palmed.
" As you can see, picking up some light novels. " Mayuzumi calmly replied, feeling a little bit annoyed.
" Geez, Kuroko! You made us worried! Suddenly vanishing like that! " Hyuuga frustratingly exclaimed to his phantom player.
" Yeah! We've been looking for you, you know?! " Kagami added.
" I'm sorry, Hyuuga-senpai, Kagami-kun. The bookstore caught my attention. " Kuroko reasoned.
" Well, seeing that's the case. Are you done? " Riko asked eyeing the books the two phantoms are holding.
" Yes, we are. We'll just go and purchase this books. " Kuroko replied with Mayuzumi nodding. He then felt someone staring at him and looked at the direction where the stare is coming from.
" Akashi-kun is also in this? " Kuroko frowns.
Akashi smiled a bit " Well, we did run into your team and also. " He then turned towards Mayuzumi. " Mayuzumi-san was also missing. It's a good thing we found you both in the same place. "
Kuroko only sighed at this " We'll go and purchase the books so that we can proceed. " He then started walking to the counter with Mayuzumi following him.
" We'll wait outside then! " Riko said to Kuroko. She then eyed her team and Rakuzan and told them to go outside to wait for the two phantoms.
-Meanwhile Outside the Bookstore-
" I'm still kinda surprised that they'll have a conversation like that. " Koganei sighing a bit.
" Yeah, I mean they're chatting like they're known each other for a long time. " Tsuchida added.
" Well atleast they're getting along. " Hyuuga also sighing in relief.
" But how they intimate is something~. " Riko mentioned, curious.
" What do you mean by that, Riko? " Hyuuga said, frowning.
" Well, did you see how Mayuzumi ruffled Kuroko's hair? It's looked like he's affectionate towards him! " Riko squeeled.
" Don't forget Kuroko-kun also laugh there! Both of them were even smiling! " Mibuchi added, radiating sparkles around him.
" What the?! A fujoshi and a fudanshi ?! " Everyone thought except for Akashi who's being quiet.
Just then the two phantoms just got out of the bookstore and blinked seeing everyone either have a frown on their faces, a gleaming Riko and Mibuchi and a quiet Akashi.
" Is there something wrong? " Kuroko anxiously asked.
" Oh, nothing! Nothing at all, Kuroko-kun! " Riko cheered, Kuroko and Mayuzumi sweatdropped at this.
" Oh, you guys are done ? " Mibuchi asked, gleaming also.
" Ah, yeah. " Mayuzumi replied, getting confused by how they act.
Hyuuga sighed " Let's just go now. " Everyone nodded in agreement.
Kuroko turned towards his former captain " Akashi-kun and the others are coming along? "
" I don't see why not? We're also going on a picnic anyways so might aswell go along. " Akashi replied, grinning.
" Why do I have a bad feeling about this? " Kuroko blurted out.
Akashi walked towards the teal head " Oh, come on. Why feel scared? We're not gonna bite. " He chuckled, taking the teal head's hands and started walking away from the light gred head teen but not before giving him a knowing look, surprising the latter.
" Hoh~~~. " Mayuzumi mumbled, amused.
Kuroko got surprised by his former captain's action " Akashi-kun? "
Akashi turned to face Kuroko " It's better than letting you wonder around again. Your teammates will get worried again. " He reasoned smiling a bit, tagging the teal head.
Kuroko only sighed at this but didn't let go and let his former captain pulled him along.
The others was also surprised but let it off when they heard Akashi's reason and started walking also.
Off to picnic! ( Finally! . )
OH Gosh! I'm such a bad person! I just made Akashi-kun jealous! Dx ... Then again... You don't get to see a jealous Emperor everyday~.
Becareful, Akashi-kun... You're showing your jealous side~. You even made a challenge to Mayuzumi-kun~~~.
