Kuroko woke up very early in the morning, while Kagami was still asleep. He was still laying on top of the other one, naked. God. How did he let it happen? Sleeping on top of another man sounded... weird. Was it even normal?
However, inside he knew that he liked it. It felt so good. He felt like he was protected from the outer world. Nothing could… have hurt him. Kagami didn't let it happen. And of course, it was warm. He didn't need a second blanket or anything. Kagami was his planket.
He slowly stood up, got up from the warmth and scent of the redhead. Tetsuya carefully put the soft blanket again on Taiga's body before he took his shirt from the floor. It has slept there for the whole night. Kagami's t-shirt. Maybe he could borrow it. His own shirt seemed to be still a bit wet. It'd be too uncomfortable to wear.
oooooooooooooooo
When the noon came, Kagami finally returned to the reality. The sound of his clock on the wall woke him up. Maybe his dream had also something to do with it. Or maybe he was feeling cold when Kuroko wasn't there anymore.
Wait.
Kuroko.
Where is he?
Man walked straight to the kitchen with his messy hair, only blood red boxers protecting his crotch from the touch of cold morning air. Eyes were still full of sleepiness. Eyelids felt heavy. Empty. His apartment was empty.
He was alone. All alone. So Kuroko had left already. Why? He could have offered him a good breakfast, clean and dry clothes, a drift home and whatever he'd like to have. So why? Did he feel ashamed of what happened last night? He was just like everyone else. They came for the night and left in the morning
Fine.
oooooooooooooooo
"No! Please! Save my life!" a middle-aged woman begged in front of Kuroko, who had hidden his face, except his hypnotizing blue eyes with a scarf, black scarf.
Those words didn't get to Tetsuya's ears. He ignored them completely. One hit with a knife. She was gone. Woman's bedroom was dyed in red. Her child, dead child laid in the corner, headless. Daughter's white dress had turned in crimson red.
The sight wasn't very pleasing. Many would have thrown up, but Tetsuya just stood there, emotionless, cold.
He had killed a child, an Innocent girl and her mother. Still he didn't feel any regret. He had learned to kill all his thoughts before taking someone's life. When mind was blank, doing anything was possible, easy.
He left the bodies of the mother and the child in their places where they had lost their lives. He didn't want to leave any signs of himself. No-one would ever know that he had done this
*What Kagami-kun would say if he knew about this* a sudden thought came to his mind.
Wait. Don't think anything like that. Why would he even care? That man isn't part of your life. He's just that guy you have slept with. Twice.
oooooooooooooooo
Cold rays of the sun entered from a clean, wide window lighting up the whole apartment. Kitchen was so clean that it looked like no-one had ever even used it.
Only a dripping coffee maker and the scent of fresh coffee beans showed that there was someone living there, that the time hadn't stopped in there.
Small piece of paper was left on the clean, white table.
"Thanks for letting me stay.
I made some coffee for you.
There's some pancakes in the fridge.
I hope they are eatable.
Kuroko Tetsuya"
oooooooooooooooo
The evening was coldest in weeks. Orange light of setting sun painted everything in warm shades.
It lied.
Nothing was warm.
Tetsuya placed his scarf better around his neck and pushed his palms inside of his jeans' pockets. He tried to cover every inch of his pale skin.
Damn, he was about to freeze.
His fridge at home was all empty, as hungry as its owner's stomach. Last time he had eaten was early in the morning, when he made some pancakes to redhead and himself.
He'd never do pancakes just for someone else. Especially for a guy. Or would he...?
oooooooooooooooo
Bluenette gathered some bread, milk, fish and fruits in his shopping cart as he navigated through the grocery store. He slowly walked along the halls, between the shelves full of food, chocolate, alcohol and other stuff that kept on screaming silently "Buy me! Buy me! You need me"
Tetsuya has learned how to ignore everyone's screams. He doesn't even notice them anymore.
He picked up a few cans of cider before he walked to cash registers, and quickly left the shop with two plastic bags of food that he carried in his hands. He walked all the way to home.
oooooooooooooooo
Silent. Just a clock ticking on the wall. Just the walls whispering to each others. Just nothing inside the apartment. Nothing. Everything had stopped and died, except the pointers of the clock.
17:25
Tick, tick, tick, tack.
And everyone had forgotten the message in the kitchen, on that table. And everyone had forgotten its other side.
" xxxxxxxxxx
Please call me
I'd like to see you again soon
I could offer you some more taste of Vanilla shake"
It had the same script as on the other side.
oooooooooooooooo
Damn. What was he even thinking when he wrote that down?
oooooooooooooooo
The fridge was full again. The fridge was happy.
Some foods like bread and fruits were left on the table. They didn't desire the coolness of Kuroko's old fridge his mother had bought him some years ago.
The whole studio flat was cleaned, everything was on their places. Only the wooden table had some stuff on it, that actually didn't belong there.
Some empty cans. A news paper.
Some black letters on the front page were so giant that even a blind person would be able to read it even if the distance was 10 mails.
"MASS MURDER ON THE GO!"
"SAM ABARAI HAS BEEN FOUND DEAD"
"DEAD"
"MURDER"
"KILLER"
"WE WANT HIM"
"DEAD OR ALIVE"
they screamed.
oooooooooooooooo
Kuroko had found his way to one park pretty close to his apartment. Sun had already gone down. It would have been pitch black if the lights of Tokyo didn't light up the town. Those lights made everything shine in the colors of the rainbow.
Friday night. Everyone was having fun. Except him. He was just killing some time.
Fresh air and gentle wind made him feel very good. Standing air of his apartment just made his head more dizzy. This air felt good. Thoughts were able to move and evolve.
He had drank once again. Even if he had just promised himself that he'd never drink again.
The ground was waving like a stormy sea. Walking wasn't as easy as usually. He was swaying slowly from side to side as he walked to a wooden bench so he could sit down. Sit down and get forgotten.
Blue eyes followed what the people were doing around him. There was loving couples, fighting couples, partying girls, drunk girls, sober girls, old men, young men, families with their young children, families with their older children, some lonely guys with their dogs. Atmosphere was the same as it was every Friday evening.
Everything was the same.
oooooooooooooooo
"Oh, so cool!" blonde girl laughed as he walked along the streets next to a red headed man. The man was about one and half heads longer than her. They had been hanging this night together.
Redhead – or as we know him – Kagami Taiga wanted to have some fun, wanted to continue his life as he usually did. He didn't waste his time to thinking about that bluenette he had had at his apartment for two nights now. He wanted to go on, live in the moment, go with a flow.
He left his house, and soon he had found a girl to hang out with, to waste some time with. This girl was very beautiful – she had a slim body with pretty big breasts, long, blonde hair and big eyes. Her face was like angel's.
"Yeah. And then I went there and I walked to that guy and I was like "Don't you dare to..."", he was telling an interesting story to her. He wanted to look as strong and cool in her eyes as possible. He wanted to know that he was liked, awesome, a person that anyone would like to have on their side.
oooooooooooooooo
Couple, couple, another couple, lesbian couple, straight couple, cosplaying couple, nerd couple, couple, couple, a couple which's man looked similar. Way too similar.
Red and black hair, long and strong body, a similar voice reached his ears as that couple walked towards that wooden bench where he sat. Ridiculous eyebrows, intense eyes. Kagami Taiga. And a girl. A girl he didn't know.
What the hell were they doing together? Did Taiga this on purpose? Even if he had left a message that told he did want him to focus on the bluenette from now on. Between the lines he asked him to stay away from other people.
He didn't want to see him with someone else. Especially with an ugly girl like that.
Tetsuya stood up from the bench and he quickly walked to the redhead, who was completely focused on that girl. Damn, it annoyed him. His blood poisoned by alcohol was boiling.
"Kagami-kun" Kuroko asked for his attention by calling his name. World was still spinning. He couldn't walk straight, couldn't stand still. His words were blurred – he was clearly drunk.
Kagami turned his face quickly to a smaller man standing right in front of him. Pure surprisement took over his face in a half of a second. He wasn't expecting to meet him here.
"What are you doing with that bitch?" Tetsuya asked without holding his words back. He looked straight into Kagami's soul with his big, blue, deep eyes. He was more annoyed than ever. He made the girl look shocked.
Do something! her gaze screamed as he tried to reach toward the redhead's face. She didn't want anyone to act like that towards her.
"What are you doing here?" Taiga asks, avoiding to answer to Kuroko's question. He had no idea what to do. This wasn't anything that he'd experience every day.
Tetsuya reached his hands towards the taller man, taking a tight grap of his shirt on his chest. He rised on his tiptoes, trying to get closer to his face. He didn't turn his gaze away even for a second. He didn't even blink his eyes.
"I don't like seeing you here with that bitch. Leave her, now" Tetsuya commanded silently with a straight face.
Kagami had to still look a bit downwards so he could see Kuroko's face, his blue eyes. His heart beated in a confusement. What he should day?
"Who the hell is that, Taiga!" girl screamed angrily.
"Shut up" Tetsuya glared her from the corner of his eyes. You could se pure hate in his look.
Just it made the girl turn his back and walk away with her high-heels. She was emotionally hurt. No one had ever done anything like this to her.
oooooooooooooooo
Kagami opened the door of his apartment and literally threw Tetsuya inside. What the hell was his problem!?
"What was that!?" he yelled while closing the door. "What the hell were you thinking? You're drunk again? What is wrong with you!" man continued. Kuroko had lost his balance and fell to the floor. He tried to stand back up
while the world spins around him like a merry-go-round.
"Didn't you read my message?" he asked silently as he raised his blurred face with some blush caused by alcohol on his cheeks. "I left you a message. I wrote that there was some pancakes and stuff" he muttered as he started to take some small steps towards the other.
"Yeah. Why are you talking about that now?"
"There was some text on the other side."
"What?"
Tetsuya grabbed again on Kagami's shirt, pulling him closer to himself, so he didn't need to stand on his tiptoes – it wasn't very easy now, when the cider he had drunk was weakening his ability to keep his balance. Taiga slowly leaned over.
"xxxxxxxxxxx. Please call me. I'd like to see you again soon" he almost whispers, saying exactly the same words he had written down. "I could offer you some more taste of Vanilla shake"
Kagami's heart skipped a beat. What the hell was that guy talking!? His face turned all red.
"Kuroko... You're drunk. You should go to sleep" Taiga said quickly. He didn't let that angriness to come out between his lips in shape of words anymore. Bluenette needed to sleep his drunkenness away so they could talk again in the morning.
"No, no, no..." he said again and again, till staring right into Kagami's eyes. "Did you hear what I said? Did you get what I meant?" he kept asking silently, slowly.
"I don't want to see you with anyone else again. You're mine. Mine"
Well Kagami didn't expect to hear that. His eyes widened a bit as his lungs started to reject air. He couldn't breath.
"...Kuroko.. You should go to sleep... I could-" he started, but his sentence was left in a halfway when Tetsuya suddenly pressed his warm lips against the taller one's own. He kissed him passionately, eyes tightly closed. He didn't let the other one to say anything anymore. He had completely sealed his lips.
Taiga's heart had lost its mind completely. It beated like a crazy. It almost hurt. He felt like he was getting a heart attack.
After ten long seconds he finally pulled his head away, breathing heavily.
"Kuroko, you're drunk"
"Yeah. So?"
". . ."
Without being able to say anything anymore he took Tetsuya in his arms, carried him all the way to his bedroom. No one had slept this often in his bed in years.
"You have to sleep" he said quickly as he covered the smaller one's slender body with his blanket.
"But where will you sleep..? Please don't leave me..." he kept begging with a blurred voice. He clearly couldn't control his speaking perfectly.
"I'll be sleeping here. Okay? Just close your eyes and relax" he instructed silently. Man took his shirt off, left it laying on the floor before he laid next to Tetsuya. He immediately pressed his body against Kagami's chest.
"Good night, Kuroko. See you tomorrow, he mumbled, pressing a gentle kiss on his forehead.
