This can be considered as a prequel or spin-off to the other chapter Marriage. No Kuroko today, but we do have Murasakibara and Himuro today.
I'm updating now because I won't be around later. I still have to study for my final exams. *waves goodbye*
And to those who follow Girl Power (my genderbend GoM temporary one-shot), it is finally ADOPTED by Tetsuna Yuri-chan. Go easy on the poor dear, though. It's the first time Yuri-chan is going to write a fanfic. Oh, and just wait patiently for her to post it, too. I will be helping her~!
R & R.
Enjoy~!
Himuro has had a hard time tracking down Murasakibara. The purple-haired giant had disappeared when lunch arrived. 'Honestly, Atsushi... what happened this time and where did you go?'
He had looked for him in the cafeteria first where he can be usually found, but he was nowhere in sight. The raven-haired teen had looked around the snack dispensers in the hallways (for a not-so-massive school like Yosen, they were quite extravagant when it comes to providing school service), but he wasn't there. He even looked around the dumpsters—the Center had gotten the bad habit from Midorima—just to see if Murasakibara was scavenging for food or something!
He didn't find him until he passed by another corridor parallel to the school grounds.
"Atsushi, why are you crying?"
The purple-haired giant hiccuped. "Muro-chin… the cupcake…"
There were tears running down Murasakibara's face. He was clutching on the windowsill like a lifeline. The purple-haired teen was staring directly to a girl holding some sprinkle-covered cupcake. Himuro had immediately noticed that it was his friend's favorite flavor of cupcake that he usually bought from the canteen. He sighed in exasperation. 'So that is what this is all about.'
"You do know that you can buy more cupcakes in the cafeteria, right?"
"But that was the last one, Muro-chin!" The other wailed. "The cupcake cheated on me and went ahead to be bought by that… monster— his concubine!"
Murasakibara wasn't one for complex words. Himuro had actually expected him to say 'whore' or 'mistress' or something like that. 'Atsushi must be really upset that he wasn't able to buy that cupcake.'
If the raven-haired teen lets this go on, the Center wouldn't be able to focus on his studies and Basketball. It's time for Plan B.
"It's okay, Atsushi," He patted the giant's back before rummaging in his bag. "Here, have this instead."
The purple-haired teen took the bento gratefully and unwrapped it. He gasped in surprise and delight when he saw its contents. The bento was filled with numerous snacks and sweets. Murasakibara wiped a lone tear from his eye. He murmured to himself, "Is this heaven?"
Himuro looked amused.
The teen glanced at his friend. "Thank you very much, Muro-chin." The purple-haired giant skipped along the hallways, the obento of sweets in tow. The raven-haired teen sweatdropped when he heard his friend raise the food in the air and openly declare that he was going to marry it.
The next day, Kagami and he have a little reunion. He told his surrogate brother about this encounter with Murasakibara. The redhead looked a bit pale. He blinked confusedly at the other.
"What's wrong, Taiga?"
"N-No, nothing. Nothing at all, Tatsuya." But the red-haired teen was muttering about 'Miracles' and 'crazy wackos'. Oh, well. It wasn't any of his business, anyway. When Himuro caught sight of his brother's pale face, he could only think, 'Ah, I hope he doesn't get nightmares because of this.' Because really, he already heard of Kuroko's moments of insanity and he didn't want to stress him out more.
Himuro had no idea that he spoke too soon.
That night, Kagami had a dream of obentos and Murasakibara getting married. Oh, and him and Nigou were engaged, too.
