Chapter7
Kuroko Pov
We stood in front of the kitchen door.
Will it be ok? Won't I just be a burden?
"Don't be nervous. He likes you. I'm sure about it.", my lover whispered into my ear, but my bad feeling inside my tummy didn't fully disappear.
I took a deep breath and tightened my grip on his hand to tell him, that I was ready.
He looked at me and kissed my nose. "Let's go", he smiled.
I nodded and we entered the kitchen. The purple giant turned around when we entered.
"Atsushi, Tetsuya will help you with the meal", my lover ordered.
For a moment it was silent.
"Sei-chin, don't worry. I will look after Tetsuya-chin", the big guy answered very familiar, but this just made me happy and I felt a little bit better.
"That is good. I will count on you", my red fox replied. Then he turned to me. "See you at lunch", he said and stole my lips in a soft way, which gave me courage.
"W-work well", I stuttered and my cheeks burned up a little.
"I will", he smiled and then he turned to leave. Before he left the room our tails met in our sweet manner.
Then the door closed and heavy silence was left in the room. It felt as if I had lost my whole courage when my lover left. I looked up to the bear demon. He was even bigger now. His lazy eyes were fixed on me. I had to say something.
"Hello Murasakibara-kun. I hope to be helpful", nervously I looked down.
He just: "Hmm-ed", and ruffled my hair.
"Please stop ruffling my hair", I stated annoyed and pushed his hand away. Or better expressed I tried to push his hand away, but failed.
After a moment he stopped. My hair was totally afoul. I tried to fix them again, but it didn't really work out, so I let it be.
"Muraskibara-kun, what are you cooking", I asked the titan in front of me.
"Vanilla cookies, you will like them", he mumbled too lazy to speak louder.
He remembered that I love vanilla. My lips twitched a bit upwards.
"How can I help you with it?", I asked.
He looked at me without any ambition and then he just turned away. "Scrape out the vanilla beans over there", he said without showing me anything.
"Ok", I answered and began to look for them.
Near Murasakibara were longish and black things, like long green beans. I stepped forward. I started to panic. How should I scarp them out? And what should I scarp out? And with what should I scarp it out?
"You take the knife and cut the bean vertical, be careful that you don't cut through it. After that you open it and scarp the black vanilla mark out of it with the knife. When you do it you should hold the knife horizontal to the bean and don't scarp the shell with it", he explained not even moving his eyes away from his work.
"Thank you", I nodded. I tried to do everything as he told me. After I found out, which way to scarp is the best, it started to become pretty easy. I opened a total of five vanilla beans.
"I finished my job with the beans", I informed him.
The titan inspected my work. After his inspection he nodded: "Good. Put the 750 gram butter over there into this bowl and then put the vanilla mark into it", he instructed me.
I was happy, because of his praise and I took the butter. It was heavy. I put it into the bowl and followed the other instruction. Murasakibara put a big pack of sugar and vanilla sugar into it. After that he began to stir the mass in an amazing speed. After a moment it got really spumy.
"Put the white of egg, which is in the other bowl into this one", he instructed me further. After it was mixed on high speed, I had to but five egg yolk into it. Later I had to sieve white flour into it and Murasakibara-kun lowered his speed. His stirring looked almost gently.
"Now we put some of the pastry on a spoon and make small piles on the iron sheets", he said. It was funny and Murasakibara-kun smiled a little.
When we finished Murasakibara-kun put the steel sheet into the big oven. "You did well. Now let's prepare for lunch", he mumbled and his hand full of flour patted my head. I had to sneeze and my blue hair became almost white. I should have felt angry, but it was just too funny. After a moment I attacked him with my white hands.
We both smiled (Kuroko's lips went a little up, a little!) as we became whiter and whiter like the kitchen and the floor.
"Tet-chin you are white", the snowman commented. I was totally happy. "I don't want to hear that from you, Mr. Snowman-kun", I smiled (a little).
Midorima Pov
I let out a big sight.
Seijuro still wasn't through his papers. Normally he would have already finished everything and planned his next step. Soon we should visit the village and continue to expand our territory.
Again a sight slipped my lips.
And that with Kuroko, I shouldn't have been so surprised, the stars already told me that Sagittarius will have a surprise for us, but I didn't expect that. I just hope that this won't bring me more work than I already have.
Work! I should continue it.
I again began to read the next documents, but I was interrupted by annoying sounds from outside. I waited and waited, but the silence didn´t return. Why did they have to make such a noise every time?
I stood up and opened the door.
"Just ones can't you guys be quiet", I shouted at the fighting demons in front of my room. "We have a training hall, so fight in there, if you need to", I continued.
"Sorry~ I didn't realise~ that we went out~", Ryota apologized, but was interrupted as Daiki almost slashed the blond head.
"Today you are fucking careless. This is already your second time you looked somewhere else", Daiki shouted.
I put my hand at my head, knowing if I didn't stop now I would end up fighting with them again and waste my time.
Ryota answered something, but I faded out his voice. I returned to my room, knowing that it was impossible to read my papers in peace. Maybe I should go somewhere else?
Before I had a chance to decide, I noticed that my throat was really dry. So, first stop is the kitchen! I went out of my room, fighting sound accompanying me.
After a while the sound stopped. The walls really weren't that thick. It was good that Seijuro's room wasn't placed near any other of ours. Otherwise someone could hear private things, which really shouldn't be heard by anybody. What am I thinking about? I was shocked. When I got my dignity back I again began to continue going to the kitchen.
If I was shocked because of my thoughts, but what I saw next was even more shocking. The kitchen was a total mess, the kitchen, where Atsushi almost killed Ryota for breaking plates or spilling water. Atsushi, the protector of it, who looked as if he had taken a bath in flour, was smiling and preparing lunch with an even whiter figure. It was almost impossible to find an uncovered spot.
It was amazing, what Kuroko did. First he made with Atsushi the Kitchen dirty and then he made the titan smile. I can't really remember, when I last saw the smile of the purple giant or if I ever did.
So it was no wonder, that I dropped my lucky item, when I saw the room. (To my luck, it was a stuffed panda animal.)
They turned to me when they heard me. Immediately I had my composure back and picked up my panda.
"Atsushi can you give me a glass of water and explain why there is such a disaster in the kitchen", I demanded an explanation.
He just: "Hmm-ed" and continued his work.
"Here is your glass, Midorima-kun and sorry we didn't want to make the kitchen dirty. I will clean it after we finished", apologized the fox and gave me a heart attack.
I didn't let it show on the outside, but my glasses cracked. He really had a weak presence, that I totally forgot him after speaking to Atsushi. I pushed my glasses up and said: "Thank you. And I hope you will really clean up. I don't think that Seijuro will like it, if the house is in a mess."
The blue fox just nodded and went back to Atsushi's side. The giant ruffled the blue hairs and they got even messier.
"Tet-chin don't be sad. When we finished everything, it will look great", the purple giant mumbled.
He was sad? I didn't see a single change in his expression. I looked surprised at the scene in front of me. Both demons continued with their work.
I turned around and went back into my room.
Kuroko Tetsuya, the guy, who stole my boss's heart, the demon, who got Ryota's approval from the very start, the fox, who made our giant smile. Who are you exactly?
Akashi Pov
I glared at the paper in front of me.
It still didn't disappear. Oh, how I wished it would burn. Why did it has to be now? After a minute the paper still didn't disappear.
Should I rip it apart? Now Seijuro, stop it! Don't think stupid things.
A sight escaped my lips.
Why couldn't all stupid villages just join us and give us a bit of their harvest. Why did we always have to visit them?
I don't want to leave. Argh.
Suddenly I smelled a faint smell of rain. It would rain tomorrow evening. Rain, ah! I remember my angel hates rain, so we can't leave before. Shintaro and I will have to visit the new village the day after tomorrow. The trip will be two days long.
I neither want to leave my fox with them, nor can I take him with me to the village. Ok, I could, but I really don't want him to be involved in my work. It isn't always pleasant.
I will have to tell Atsushi to protect my lover from the other wolves or mixed-bloods in here.
I really don't want to leave him. But it will help him to get closer to my GoM demons.
Hm, maybe I should visit my angel to look how things are going on with Atsushi.
I stood up.
The papers were finished anyway. I hope everything went well for my blue love. My love seemed to be a bit nervous or frightened. Maybe I shouldn't have left him there.
I began to walk faster. I came closer and closer. Now I was almost running. I took a deep breath and entered.
What I saw next caught me of guard, but I didn't let it show on my face.
The kitchen was clean, very clean, but the two people I left there were the total opposite.
My lover and Atsushi turned around. I raised an eyebrow.
"W-we played", my sweet heart answered and the titan next to him hummed in agreement.
The situation was totally strange.
There was only one question I could voice: "Was it fun?"
"Yes, it was", my angel replied.
"Hmm, that is good! Now, we should clean you up. Atsushi go to the main bathroom and take a bath", I ordered and caressed my blue fox's cheek, having missed him. The two days were going to be torture.
"Hmm, okay. Tet-chin see you later", the purple giant answered.
When he left, I smiled: "Look everything went well. You didn't have to worry so much."
"You are right. Murasakibara-kun is a very nice guy. We made amazing cookies. You will love them", my lover answered with a smile too.
"Hm, I can't wait for lunch, but before you need to become clean again", I said.
"Sorry, for getting dirty", my sweetheart apologized looking down.
"As long as you had fun, it is no trouble, come on now", I took his hand and we stepped outside.
"So, how did you end up that white when you played", I questioned.
"We finished the cookies and Murasakibara-kun shoved them into the oven. And then he patted my head with his white hand. I got dirty and as a revenge I made Murasakibara-kun white as well, later it escalated. The kitchen was a mess, but we cleaned it up, before you came", my lover explained.
"It sounded funny", it came out of my mouth, without my permission.
I never did stuff like that, when I was younger. Oh, totally forgetting how nice my parents were (sarcastic).
"Seijuro, is everything ok", my love looked worried at my face.
"Yeah, just remembering something unpleasant, I will tell you someday", I told still in thought.
My lover just tightened his grip around my hand.
"We are here", I opened the room and my angel followed me inside.
Again his eyes widened. He would be even more amazed, if he saw the main bathroom. I chuckled to myself.
"What is so funny?", he asked.
"Nothing", I smiled and achieved a pout on my lover's face.
"Now don't be mad. Let's get you clean and then I will bring you new clothes", I decided. While my blue fox undressed I rolled up my sleeves, brought the soap and a towel. My lover slipped into the water.
"It is warm", he looked surprised at me.
"Year we have a hot spring underground", I explained.
"Oh, you know this is the first time for years, that I took a warm bath. The last time was…", he stopped. I looked worried at him, he seemed sad. "W-was a very long time ago", he continued.
What happened? I still was curious, but first I wanted that look to disappear from my love's face.
"Come here. I'm going to wash your hair", I commanded.
My sweetheart swam back to me and sat on a stair in the water. I began to massage his hair in soap. "So you like it here", I asked.
"Hm, do you mean the room or everything?", he questioned.
"Both", I said. "I think this room is beautiful. It is so big and spacious. It has three pools, one in the middle, which is formed around a little island, where beautiful statues of different demons are on, and the other pools are in the corners. I think everything is amazing. I never was in a place this huge. It is a little frightening, but I'm happy being here with you", he answered.
"You soon will feel like home, when you get to know the others and you get familiar with the surrounding", I smiled.
"Hm, maybe", his words were stretched long and spoken cloudy.
I leaned forward and looked at my lovers face. The pale skin had turned red.
"You should have said that you couldn't handle the heat of the water", I shook my head.
I took my lover out of the bath. I washed his hair with lukewarm water in order not to shock my sweetheart's body. After that I covered him with a towel and picked him up.
"I will bring you to our room. There you can rest", I whispered.
Aomine Pov
Damn, I just cut him a little! I didn't even manage to slash his fucking arm off. It would grow back instantly, but I would have felt a little better.
Fucking half, why did he always have to involve me in his stupid arguments with Seijuro? He can't win against him. And every time he manage to get me punished too.
I now fucking know every detail of this stupid hill, because of Ryota. I even know when a fucking stone isn't at his right place.
Ah, shit! This is so annoying!
Suddenly I smelled the devil. M-maybe I should go another way, but no! Why should I? Today I didn't do anything wrong, I think.
Before I could decide what would be the best, the devil was already around the corner. He held his hands in a strange manner.
What's up?
When he got closer, I saw something blue in his arms. Oh, it must be Kuroko. He really had a very weak presence. Normally I smelled demons, even before they come thirty thousand feet closer, even if they were weak. Kuroko also has to be extremely weak, if I didn't even smell his scent from a few meters.
I exhaled, when I passed the red demon.
"Daiki, what was that? And before I forget, bring a glass of water into my room and tell Atsushi that Tetsuya is resting", he ordered and a dark aura emitted from his body.
"Why do I… O-of course Seijuro", I answered and sweat dropped.
Daiki you did well, now you don't have to run another hundred rounds around this fucking hill.
I exhaled, when I didn't see the devil anymore. Now, he turned me into a fucking delivery man. Damn, I should have taken the other way!
I cursed, when I made my way to the kitchen.
Thank you for reading. I hope you liked it. And don't worry Daiki will change his way of thinking very soon. I hope the cooking scene wasn't too boring… So now Murasakibara likes Kuroko. Before he just accepted him as the person that Akashi liked (Tetsu-chin now Tet-chin). I hope I'm not moving too fast with the names. And as you may have noticed, Akashi is going to visit a new village and Kuroko will be alone with the GoMs. What will happen then? I don't know if it will be in the next or in the 9th chapter. I plan a little surprise for the next chapter. Hope you will like it. Please tell me your thoughts in reviews. ^^ And if it wasn't clearly enough Aomine means: If you are strong your scent is strong. If you are weak your scent is weak. He can't smell Kuroko, so he thinks that our pale boy is weak.
