Okay, confession time; I absolutely love TakaKuro.
When I'm not shipping Kuroko with Aomine I just want to throw him at Takao and scream "Be happy!" because I feel like he would be able to make him smile (Don't even get me started on the adorableness of Birds eye trio)
and so, when I saw this right here; kaneki . co . vu/post/34111772840
I decided, you know what, I think I really wanna try my hand at writing this ship. And while this attempt may have fallen flat on it's face (it was a lot harder to write that I initially thought it should be after all) I am trying to write a follow up type thing, something akin to a "first date" one shot of sorts.
Takao - "I see you"
Neither could tell exactly when it had started. They had just clicked. He supposed that it was because no matter what; Kazunari Takao could always see him.
He wasn't invisible.
He wasn't a ghost of convenience.
Takao could see him. Really see him.
It was such a wonderful feeling. After so long in the dark. So long of being invisible. To not be able to hide from someone.
While frustrating at first, he had learned just how wonderful such a companion was;
"Te chan, how was your day?" Takao would ask as he slid into the seat across from him at Maji burger.
"Te chan, you look kinda down today." He'd say when he'd had a particularly hard day, that cute look of concern on his face.
"Te chan, you can't hide from me, I can see that smile on your face and it's super adorable!" He would tease after ambushing him and kissing him outside the gates of Seirin after practice, every single Saturday without fail. "But not quite as adorable as that blush~!"
Because while Takao could see him, he could also read him;
"I'll always see you Te chan. Forever." He would smile. That had probably been the beginning. When he had heard those words, he hadn't even noticed the tears rolling down his shocked face until Takao had mentioned them. "Did I say something wrong? Why are you crying Te chan? I thought I was being sweet." He had almost panicked, scrambling for a tissue.
Being seen. It seemed like such a trivial thing, but to someone who lived in the shadows, someone who's sole purpose was to be unseen … he felt elated.
Which was probably why he felt the sudden urge to kiss him.
Not even Daiki had made him this happy.
Had truly seen him.
Sure, Daiki could see him. But Takao truly saw him. Not just the front he put up, not just when he tried to pull a disappearing act. But the person he was underneath. He was the light at the end of the tunnel, waiting there with his arm outstretched, the words; "I'll always see you" on his lips. He saw through him. And Tetsuya Kuroko was grateful.
Sooooo~? Good bad? I bet I failed didn't I? I felt like I forced this one more than I did the others. Ugh. Why are the first attempts always the worst. Okay, well I'd appreciate it if you gave me some feedback. Anything between "Oi! That was a piece of shit and I'm offended that you even thought of posting it!" to "Aw~ You gave me feels and I will treasure this piece of art from now until forever!" ... those are extremes, though if you feel that way, please, let me know ^_^
