A/N: Hello lovely readers, thank you for waiting for another chapter from me. :) I thought this would be the last chapter for this fic but yeah, it just keeps getting longer. But if you've stuck in this far I'm assuming you like/don't mind long fics, so more chapters is a good thing! Ok, that's all from me, review if you like it, or if you don't, let me know how I could do better. :)

Kuroko's POV:

"I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid we're full at the moment. You'll have to wait until at least 7:30 if you want to upgrade your table to six people." The waiter tells us regretfully, and I can't blame him. It was awfully sudden for Akashi kun to show up at the restaurant 10 minutes before his booking demanding another 4 seats. But the waiter's apologetic response isn't enough to placate Akashi kun. I just hope he doesn't threaten the man.

"I guess you mustn't know my name." He says, reaching forward to shake hands with the waiter. "It's nice to meet you, I'm Akashi Seijuro." It's as if the name 'Akashi Seijuro' was a synonym for the word 'king' or, 'dictator', because the instant the waiter hears it he is shocked, stuck to the ground by trembling legs.

"Oh, um, I'll be back in a moment." The waiter hurries away as quickly as his body will take him, straight to the supervisor standing near the kitchen. I can see the two talking in hushed voices as the waiter points in our direction. A second later, the supervisor is greeting us.

"I'm sorry for our earlier rudeness sir, we weren't aware of your title. If you'd like to follow me I'll show you to your table, with some complimentary appetizers to start you off of course." I know that Akashi kun is from a rich family, and I have been to his house and seen the maids and butlers, the sheer size of the mansion. But I am always amazed and surprised when he does things like this, simply stating his name and overruling the principles which normal people would have to go through. As we walk to our table I can hear Kise and Murasakibara kun cheering over the free food, but on a less happy note; I notice a small group of people being escorted out of the restaurant against their will. I suddenly feel a pang of guilt, because Akashi kun was so demanding, those people, the 'normal' people were forced to leave halfway through their meal, after they probably waited however long for that table.

"We could have waited like anyone else would Akashi kun, now those poor people have to leave." I plead with him, but I know he won't really pay my words any care. His personality is the way it is, and he doesn't really react to people telling him he should change it very well.

"Don't be silly Tetsuya, I am of a higher class than those people; it is normal for them to leave so that I can stay. You may not like it, but it is how society works. And anyway, I would do anything for my Tetsuya, kicking a few people out a restaurant barely even registers on that scale." His words are clearly meant to encourage me, but they don't. I simply nod at him and accept the fact that I won't win this argument. When we get to our table, we all sit down around it. I am sat at one end of the table, while Akashi is on the other. Aomine and Kise are on either side of me, with Murasakibara and Midorima next to Akashi. Waiters are at our table almost immediately taking our orders. Only minutes later our free appetizers are being brought out, and even if I still don't agree with how they came to us, I can't disagree with their flavour. This restaurant was picked by Akashi after all, so it's no wonder the food is amazing. Every bite is like a little piece of heaven, the only word I could think of to describe it would be divine. But no matter how good the food is, the atmosphere around me is still full of tension. I can see that each of my friends are thinking of what to say carefully, trying to figure out what they can say to make me like them more than the rest of them. Their competitiveness is putting me in a really difficult position, but I'm the one who decided that I liked boys, but then couldn't choose between them. In a way, this situation is kind of my fault; so I can't get too annoyed at them.

"Ah, Tetsuya. You have some of the sauce from your food on your face. Let me get it for you." Akashi kun calls across the table, but before he can stand up and walk over Aomine has started talking.

"Oh, don't bother yourself with walking all the way over here, I'll get it for him." The usually crass boy tells our captain in an overly nice, clearly fake voice. Akashi kun is clearly annoyed at this but says nothing, holding himself back. I start to protest, but I am too late. Aomine kun brings his tongue to my face and starts to lick. He gets the sauce away on the first flick of his tongue, making me arch up slightly just from that second of sensation. But he doesn't stop there, his tongue just keeps rolling over my face.

"A-aomine kun what are you doing?" I stammer out totally flustered. We're in a very public, very high class place! Why is he doing something so lewd?

"I'm just cleaning your face Tetsu, there's nothing wrong with that." He almost purrs out as his hands dig down into is own food being wiping them over my mouth, slowly.

"Oops, you got more food on you. I guess I'll get that too." His words are making me even more embarrassed, I can see everyone at our table getting progressively madder and madder, staring daggers at Aomine kun. But I find it harder and harder to concentrate on anything when Aomine kun's tongue just keeps assaulting my face. It swirls around in circles on my cheek, just around my lips, leaving saliva all over me. I involuntarily start to shiver in pleasure. When he finally places his lips on my own I realize I've been waiting for him to do so, internally begging for that intimate touch. Memories of why we are even doing this or where we are leave me completely and I am left with only Aomine kun and nothing else. Aomine kun's lips, Aomine kun's smell, Aomine kun's feel, his touch. His kiss was slow at first, gentle. But as he continues to kiss me his lips only get rougher, more desperate and hungry. Not that I'm complaining. I can't stand the distance between us, I lean over to table to get closer to him and he does to same. Both of us half sitting on our chairs and half lying on the table.

"What the hell do you two think you are doing in a public place?! Do you have no shame?" I want to keep kissing Aomine kun, I don't want to lose his touch, but Midorima kun's screams bring my back to reality as Aomine kun pulls away from me, a smug look on his face but a bright red blush on his cheeks. I look back at the rest of our group hesitantly. When I see them, I know what the absolute epitome of rage looks like. Everyone starts shouting at once, and I immediately regret my actions. Why didn't I push Aomine kun away when he started going overboard? That's what I should have done, instead I just added more fuel to the fire, leaning in and kissing him back. I wanted his kiss, I liked it, just how I liked Kise's and Akashi's. But still, I should have had the common sense to not let my pleasure take over when I'm in the middle of a high class restaurant. Silence sweeps over the room, all the members of the public, all the workers, they're all staring at Aomine kun and I; the centre of attention. I try to fade away, but no level of misdirection could make people forget my presence right now. In a second all of my friends break the silence and start to yell, throwing screaming insults at Aomine kun. Each of them stands up in rage, Murasakibara kun storms over to Aomine kun and lifts him up with his hand as if he were a cup of pudding weighing almost nothing. Akashi walks over to join him and slowly pulls his scissors out of his pocket, and Kise kun walks up to me, holding my waist and wailing at me, asking me why I would want to kiss Aomine. I can tell that Midorima kun is just as angry as the rest of them, but he doesn't move, too embarrassed by his surroundings to act as extreme as the others. A waiter hesitantly walks over to our table, a terrified look on his face, I guess I know which one of the workers drew the short straw.

"I'm sorry sirs, but we would appreciate it if you would keep yourselves from yelling, and being overly… affectionate in our establishment." The waiter informs us briefly before hurrying back to his colleagues, clearly scared of the group of large, screaming men. His words make the group quiet, at least for now. I take the chance to speak up.

"I'm-I'm sorry I acted so inappropriately. We're in a public place, I know you're all trying to win me over and all but I should have pushed Aomine kun away, I let myself get all flustered and forgot where we were." I try to calm everyone down, thinking that if I apologize; they will forgive Aomine kun and I. But I only get half of my wish.

"You don't have to be sorry Kurokochi! It's all Aominechi's fault for kissing you all of a sudden!"

"Kise chin's right! It's not Kuro chin's fault!" Both Kise kun and Murasakibara kun spit out in accusatory tones, they may be defending me but they're still being rude to Aomine kun. Almost the second they've stopped talking, Midorima is joining in on the argument.
"Would you two stop defending him? Kuroko was kissing him back too!" I can't help but wish that once, just once, I could say something without it making all of my friends start arguing. I know how small the chances of this actually happening are, after all; these are my friends we're talking about. They're all about as far from normal you can get. But still, it would be nice.

"Do we really need to assign blame? Sure, Aomine kun started it but I went along with it as well, I was just as bad. I still feel kind of weird about this whole thing, you're all trying to win me over, and I'm trying to figure out who I love, so kissing someone would probably help me find an answer. But I can't do that right now, in the middle of the restaurant, that's just obvious. Sorry, I'm not sure if all this even makes any sense, but I hope you can all just forgive Aomine kun and I and get back to our meal. We don't want to waste the table Akashi kun got us." I start to lay out my feelings, and as I talk I find myself unable to stop. Does what I'm saying even make sense? Am I making the point I want to, or am I just stringing together words and sounds into meaningless sentences? I worry, thinking back on what I said.

"Tetsuya is right, we should not waste what I have given you all. So if you'd all like to stop whining, and like me, put up with the fact that even if you don't like it, everyone here has a right to at least attempt to win Tetsuya's favor, we can get back to eating. But don't think for a second that me putting up with you all is the same as me being happy, I am currently working very hard to hold back and not do unspeakable, violent things to you all. So don't push my patience any further." Akashi kun adds his opinion, causing a few worried looks from my team. Kise, Murasakibara and Midorima al look too scared to say anything back to Akashi, and while Aomine does look more annoyed than scared, he still doesn't dare to oppose his captain.

"Fine, we will forgive you two for that… display. You'd better be happy about it." Midorima tells us, calming the rest of the group at least a little. Kise and Murasakibara both apologize as well, and we all manage to get back to our meals. Another waiter comes to our table and gives us menus for the main course, but Murasakibara insists that they give him something from the dessert menu.

"Sir, you will be given a dessert, but your friend has paid for three course meals for all of you, you've paid for a main course so I need you to pick one."

"But I want dessert! I already ate the savory food." He whines at the waiter who is starting to get flustered. I know Murasakibara kun, so I know how harmless he is, when he's in a good mood that is. But the waiter doesn't know that, and I can be sure that he's currently terrified of the giant man complaining to him.

"I can take your order for dessert but you need to eat a main beforehand, I cannot take your money and then not give you what you've paid for." The waiter says desperately, trying to make Murasakibara kun decide on an order. I take a quick look at the menu myself and notice that the prices for the desserts and mains are pretty much the same.

"Excuse me." I speak up, but the waiter is still looking at Murasakibara. I wonder how they've already forgotten my presence when Aomine kun and I were making such a scene before. Oh well, it can't be helped. I stand up this time and speak louder.

"Excuse me!" The waiter finally notices me and turns around.

"Oh, I'm so sorry sir, I didn't notice you there. Did you want to order?" The man looks like he's been given a huge shock, as if I've appeared out of thin air. It's nothing I'm not used to though.

"I was wondering, if the desserts and the main courses cost about the same amount, why can't Murasakibara kun just order two desserts? I wouldn't suggest it for anyone else, but it seems like a totally normal thing for him." I give him my suggestion, and I can see him thinking through what I've said. I'm sure they're not used to such an odd request, but it does make sense for them to just give him two.

"That's a good idea Kuro chin! Waiter, I want the chocolate cake and the strawberry tart please!" I can tell the waiter is confused, but he simply nods at Murasakibara and takes the rest of our, thankfully for him; normal orders. As soon as he is gone Murasakibara stands up and walks to me, pulling something out of his pocket when he gets here.

"Thanks for helping me get two desserts Kuro chin, that man just wouldn't listen to what I said! Here, I'll give you this to say thank you." He holds out a piece of vanilla pocky, like the one he tried to give me earlier today. I start to move to take it, but remember that he probably won't let me have it that easily.

"It was nothing Murasakibara kun, anyone would have thought of it. But before you suggest it, I don't think we should play the pocky game here, you saw what happened when Aomine kissed me." I say to him, rejecting his offer before he makes it. He pouts as he whines back.

"I didn't even ask yet though! And when you said no before it was because we were in the middle of practice, we can do it now, right?" When I see the look on Murasakibara kun's face I want to say yes to him, I want to do anything I can to make him stop looking so sad. But I can't, the staff here have already asked us to refrain ourselves while we're in the restaurant, I can't just play the pocky game in the middle of our meal.

"I'm sorry Murasakibara kun, but I can't play it with you right now." It almost breaks my heart to reject him, and it makes me question myself. When did I get like this? This afternoon I didn't have any regrets over not letting him play it with me, I just thought he was stupid for asking me. And now, only hours later I want to play it with him. Sure, I don't want to disappoint him, but just like Murasakibara, I want to see what he tastes like. Akashi, Kise, Aomine, they've all kissed me and they've all been slightly different, little differences in their kisses which suited their varying personalities. I want to see how Murasakibara's kiss differs, and I know that if I am really supposed to pick one of the five men in front of me, I need to give them all a fair chance. If I let Akashi and the other two kiss me, I really should do the same for Murasakibara and Midorima kun. But I can't do it here, I know that. I hear Akashi groan from across the table, clearly annoyed by Murasakibara and I.

"I can't believe I'm actually about to say this. Tetsuya, as much as I hate it, if we all expect you to pick one of us, then all of us have to be given a fair chance. Atsushi, you can play the pocky game with Tetsuya, but go outside, would you? No one in this place wants to see that while they're enjoying their meal." Akashi kun said he couldn't believe what he was saying, and I can't believe him either. He's actually giving us permission to play, not just that, but encouraging us? I feel like spending the afternoon with everyone and seeing that they all have the same feelings as him has lightened Akashi kun up a little bit. I definitely prefer the current him to the one who was trying to claim me for himself before, threatening anyone else who touched me. I can't helped but be embarrassed when Murasakibara kun grabs my hand and pulls me out of my seat though. If I go outside now everyone here is going to know why, and they're all just going to be imagining me kissing Murasakibara. I want to kiss him, I do. But the fact that I want to is embarrassing as well, I freeze up from the thought.

"Kuro chin? Let's go!" Murasakibara kun cheers from beside me, but I can't move. I can feel his hand embracing mine, covering it entirely.

"I, I can't. It's too… too embarrassing!" I barely manage to stutter out, finding all the self confidence I had just a little bit ago gone.

"Don't be such a baby Tetsu, I agree with Akashi, if I got to kiss you then everyone else should too. I don't like the idea, but you guys are still my friends, and we're on the same team for gods sake. If we can't let each other get a fair go at this then we're not gonna be able to work together on the court either."

"And take it from me, you shouldn't let embarrassment stop you from doing things. I've learnt that so many times throughout my life, stopping myself from talking to you, or saying something rude just because I was embarrassed. It's just not worth it." Both Aomine and Midorima make attempts to calm me down, and it actually works. I feel some of the tension leave my body, my shoulders loosening. I nod my head and look to the group.

"Well, if you all say so… I'll be back in a minute." I manage to get the words out, and Murasakibara leads me outside the restaurant. As we walk away I hear Kise kun yelling that we'd better be only a minute, that he'd be lonely if I stayed away from him for too long. The second the door opens a cold wind brushes over me, making me shiver. Murasakibara notices instantly and bends down to my height, wrapping his arms around me and warming me up instantly.

"Thanks, Murasakibara kun, I'm not cold now." I get a satisfied look from Murasakibara as we walk further away from the shop, walking far enough to be unseen through the windows. When we go far enough, Murasakibara takes one of his arms away from me to reach for the pocky again, drawing his head to the same level as mine and placing one end in his mouth. I hesitate for a second before closing my mouth around the other side, tasting sweet vanilla the instant I do. I close my eyes instinctively, but when I open them I am greeted by big, purple orbs, shining with anticipation. I've never really thought of things like the colour of people's eyes before, I've never really had a reason to. But when I look into Murasakibara kun's face right now, I can't help but be amazed by the purple depths staring back at me, they're so beautiful. I find it difficult to take my own eyes off them, but I am finally able to when I hear the snapping of the biscuit in-between us, drawing our faces that tiny bit closer.

"Your turn, Kuro chin." I take another bite, swallowing the biscuit and the all too sweet vanilla flavouring. When Murasakibara kun opens his mouth to take his third bite I can feel his breath play across my skin, we are that close. I take a deep breath myself and move my mouth again, by the time I have taken my bite there is only a centimetre between us, the next bite will be the end of the pocky.

'Do you want the last bit Kuro chin, or should I have it?" Murasakibara asks me, not wanting to steal away the last of the sugary substance unless I'm ok with it.

"You can have it Murasakibara kun, you're the one who likes sweets so much." He doesn't hesitate once I say he can eat it. I tear away my view of Murasakibara's eyes and close my own. I don't even mean to do it, it's just a reaction. I wait for what feels like forever until Murasakibara has eaten the last of the pocky, leaving only our lips and nothing else. The moment our mouths touch it feels like heaven, the vanilla taste from the pocky mixes with the taste of the boy in front of me. I'm not as hesitant as when I kissed Akashi kun or Kise kun before. I know this is what I want, and I want to make the most of it. I latch onto Murasakibara, burying myself deeper in his grip around me and moving my lips around his. Once the taste of the pocky is gone al I can feel is Murasakibara kun, but unsurprisingly, he tastes just as sweet as the lolly, maybe even more so.

"Mu-Murasaki," I moan out, not even able to finish his whole name. Why does he have to have such a long name anyway? Mu-ra-sa-ki-ba-ra. It's just too many syllables, definitely too much for me to spit out while I'm focusing on the softness of his lips, the warmth of his touch, the feel of simply having his so close to me. It seems that he is able to say at least a bit more than I am.

"Do you like the pocky game no Kuro chin?" He pants out, clearly out of breath.

"I," I pause as his tongue rushes into my mouth, using the chance while I talk. "I love the pocky game, and I love…" Oh my god, how can he even do that with his tongue? I have to stop my sentence again, unable to continue on for a moment. "I love playing it with you." I tell him truthfully, and my confession seems to have made him even more motivated to make me feel good. The hands that had been keeping me warm hold on tighter and pick me up from the ground, pulling me all the way up to his height and holding me there, not stopping our kiss for a second while he does so. The constant pressure on my waist as he holds me up starts to hurt a little, his fingers digging into my ribs. I bring my legs up to his own waist and use them to hold myself up, reaching down and pulling his arms away. Once his arms are free I lace my hands in his, wanting to feel his presence even more. I usually get annoyed at Murasakibara when he won't stop eating sweets to practice, or when he constantly complains about not having sweets while we're in the middle of a game. But right now I am so very happy tat he spent all that time eating pocky and sucking on lollipops. His tongue has been trained by so many sugary foods and it has made him learn how to use it right. It assaults my mouth, my lips, sending pleasure soaring through every part of me. As I feel him slide across a particularly sensitive part of my mouth I can't help but think that he really knows how to use that thing. I want this moment to go on forever, I don't want to get down off of Murasakibara and part our lips. But I am becoming more and more aware of how long we've been out here. If we don't stop soon I just know that someone, whether it be Akashi, Aomine, Midorima or Kise will come out here and tell us to hurry up and get back inside, and they will see me virtually climbing on top of Murasakibara, in such an embarrassing position. I pull away from Murasakibara, I know that I won't be able to speak properly if I'm still kissing him.

"Murasakibara kun I think we should…" His tongue slides down my neck now that I have taken my lips away from him. I shudder when I feel it, wondering again how on earth he can make me feel this good.

" We should go back inside. Everyone's going to be getting sick of waiting for us." Murasakibara takes his tongue away from my neck, I involuntarily sigh when he does, but I don't ask him to put it back. I stop myself from doing so.

"If you say we have to then I guess I'll stop. I don't want to though." He pouts as he answers me, obviously disappointed. But he understands that we can't stay like this forever.

"I don't want to stop either, I want to just forget about everything else and keep kissing you. But I know that as soon as I go back in there I'm going to see everyone else, and I'm not going to know how to feel anymore. Because I'll remember how it felt to kiss you, but then I'll think of how it felt with Akashi, or with Kise or Aomine. And I'm sure that I'll even start imagining what it would be like with Midorima, you guys have managed to make me think all those kinds of lewd thoughts now." I admit to him, telling him of my worries while he picks me up and places me back on the ground.

"Is that such a bad thing? Love is a nice feeling, so if you have so many people that love you, it should make you happy." There he goes again, oversimplifying the whole concept of love. And once again I wish that he could be right, I want it to be as simple as he sees it. But it's not that easy.

"It makes me happy, I feel like I could never deserve so many people loving me this much, but when you all tell me that you do I can't argue with it. All your love makes me so unbelievably happy, but it's hard for me as well. Because I have to somehow pick one of you, and only accept the love they give me. I have to cut my happiness into a fifth of what it could be, and I have to take away happiness from four of you. And after everything you've all done for me, after kissing you all and being that close to you, I just don't know how I'm supposed to chose one of you. I just don't know." I can't believe it, but I almost start crying here and now. I don't want to make this decision, it's too hard, I can't do it.

"You keep saying that you have to pick one of us, but I don't think you do. If so many people love you, and you love them back; why can't you just be happy with all of them? Why do you need to only be with one?" Murasakibara akas me as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. You shouldn't have to chose one person, there's nothing wrong with loving more than one. But even if he thinks that, and even if I want to think that, I know the rest of my team wouldn't accept it. Akashi kun is so possessive, he gets so scary when someone is trying to take something of his. And Kise kun is so dependent on me, I don't think I could make time for him and four others. It's clear that Murasakibara would be ok with it, and I think that maybe, just maybe, Aomine kun might be as well. I don't think he'd like the idea, but I get the feeling he'd go along with it. Midorima however would probably say no, I'm pretty sure of it.

"You know what Murasakibara kun? I want to agree with you, I really do. But I just can't, what you're talking about is nice, and it does sound like the best thing for me. But it just wouldn't work out in the real world like you think it would. Even if you and I like the idea, I doubt the rest of our team will as well. They won't want to share me, I know it."

"You know it, or is that just what you think? Because if you don't ask them yourself, you'll never know what they truly think. Who knows, maybe they'll be willing to share you." He tells me as we walk back into the restaurant, a hopeful smile on his face.

"Ok then, maybe I will ask them. But don't get your hopes up too much, you know how possessive Akashi kun is, or how much Kise kun will whine about it. I could go on but I think you get the gist." I decide on our way back, but I don't think it'll be any use. I really do doubt that they'll accept Murasakibara's idea, but why not; I might as well try.
