Guest: Haha yeah he had to :D I also love AoKaga *_*

katie103: Thank you for your words and patience! :)

Kise struggled with his pants, not daring to put on some light. It wasn´t like he wanted to leave but he had kind of an important shooting today, the second part of the one he did yesterday and even though he love to stay with the others in bed he knew that he couldn´t.

"Kise-kun… where do you think you´re going?"

His head jerked around and Kise pressed his lips together to hold back a surprised shout when Kuroko´s sleepy blue eyes were boring through him in the barely lightened room and Kise swallowed – ah, he got caught.

"Ah, Kuroko-cchi you´re awake!" He scrambled over to get his Shirt but a pale hand caught his wrist and Kise grimaced.

"That doesn´t answer my question Kise-kun." The grip around Kise´s wrist got tighter and the blonde model sighed as he tried to put on his shirt with one hand. "L-look, Kuroko-cchi, it´s not like I want to leave – it´s just that I have a shooting and – "

"Cancel it." Kise turned around with wide eyes, "H-huh?" Kuroko stared at him with a determined look. "Kise-kun ran away yesterday. He will not do it now."

"Eeeh?!" Kise screeched but quickly quieted down when Kuroko hushed him with one look at the sleeping redhead who just mumbled something incoherent in his sleep, making both of them smile. "I can´t do that, Kuroko-cchi!" Kise whispered forcefully and tried to get free from Kuroko´s grip. "Say you overslept. We need to talk about this." Kuroko said back, nearly hissing but Kise ripped his hand free and finally pulled his T-Shirt over his body. "Can´t we do that when I get back?!" Kuroko shook his head, "No. The more time we lose the more Kagami will think about it." He again pulled at Kise´s hand, "And you know that doesn´t mean good. We can´t let him think too much about it."

Kise sighed, "I know but still… I never missed one of my shootings!" The blue haired boy raised his eyebrows. "Then one time won´t hurt." He watched how Kise seemed to fight with himself and a ghost of a smile appeared on his lips – he knew he had him. "And it would be for something important."

Kise swallowed and then sighed, running his hand through his hair. With a pout he pulled off his shirt, "You´ve won Kuroko-cchi… honestly…" With that he crawled back under the covers, embracing the still sleeping figure on the bed and looked with one open eye at the smaller boy who still sat on the edge of the bed. "You´re coming?"

Kuroko nodded and gave a soft yawn before he snuggled closer against the warm body next to him. They definitely needed to talk about this.

When Kuroko awoke again the room was brighter and a look on the clock told him that it was already half eleven so with a small yawn he sat up, blinking down at the figure next to him. Kagami was still snoring deep in sleep and Kise was also still there, his arm around the redhead and his face buried in Kagami´s neck. Kagami really needed to be exhausted to sleep that long. Normally the other was an early riser – the opposite of Kuroko himself – and stood up to – in Kuroko´s opinion – inhuman times but now he still was soundly asleep. Unfortunately Kuroko couldn´t allow that and Kagami would complain later anyway if he let him sleep too long. But he also needed Kise awake, so Kuroko lifted the jalousie, letting in the sun but as they didn´t seem to wake up he also pulled the covers off of their bodies and lightly blushed when he found Kagami being naked underneath. And his blush increased when he found Kagami´s skin adorned with bruises that looked suspiciously like fingerprints and hickeys and scratches and even bite marks. Of course he would be naked Kuroko cursed himself and looked for a T-shirt and pants for his light. What had they done to him?

"Mhhm, what the hell, who – "Kagami´s voice was rough from sleepiness and Kuroko skin tingled at the sound, it should be forbidden to sound like that after just waking up. "Good morning Kagami-kun", he greeted quietly and enjoyed how Kagami´s body tensed at the sound of his voice. His partner turned around only to freeze in the middle of the movement and a whimper escaped his throat.

"Morning, Kagami-cchi" Kise smiled and he shuffled to lie on his side, popping his elbow to let his cheeks rest against his hand. Kagamis head jerked to the side and he stared at the blonde model with wide eyes, "K-Kise, what – "His red eyes unfocused and Kise could almost watch how the memories of last night seemed to flood in when Kagamis cheeks reddened and he couldn´t meet Kise´s eyes anymore when his hand slammed over his mouth, probably to cover up some embarrassing sounds.

"Wh-what…" he stammered and Kise would have rolled his eyes at Kagami´s loss for words if it wasn´t so adorable how the redhead seemed to fidget on his bed.

"That is what we want to talk about with Kagami-kun." Kuroko announced form the door with a yawning and scowling Aomine behind him who didn´t know if he was awake or still asleep. "T-talk about?" the redhead stuttered and pulled the sheets that lay on the floor over his naked form, ignoring the disappointed sighs from Kise and Aomine. Kuroko nodded and averted his gaze, "about… what happened yesterday."

Kagami gulped, "I, I don´t think we need to talk about it. We can just – " Kuroko shook his head, "You know we have to."

Aomine sighed behind him and scratched his head, "Maybe you should let this guy take a shower before you do that to him, Tetsu." Kuroko wondered a moment and then sighed, "maybe you are right Aomine-kun. We will wait for you in the living room Kagami-kun." The redhead nodded eagerly. "G-Good idea!"

The three closed the door behind them, "He took it rather well," Kise wondered and Aomine sniggered, "of course he did, he seems rather talented at tak – " With a jab into his sides Kuroko cut off any words Aomine might have said and glared at the taller boy, "Don´t make me hurt you Aomine-kun."

"Yes" Aomine choked out, "I´m sorry."

Kise chuckled when they suddenly heard a noise out of the bedroom. "Kagami-cchi, you´re alright?"

For a moment they heard nothing but silence until Kagami´s voice sounded rather pained from behind the doors. "K-Kuroko?"

"Yes, Kagami-kun?"

"I think I need your help." Kuroko frowned and ignored Aomine´s and Kise´s chuckles and opened the door. He blinked at Kagami who had wrapped himself in the blanket and still lay on the bed, giving Kuroko one glare before staring at the sheets again. "Kagami-kun?"

"I can´t move." He redhead stated and Aomine smirked, sitting down at the edge of the bed. "Did we do you too hard?" he grinned but shouted when Kagami´s fist collided with his face, throwing him off the bed. "You really deserved that Aomine-cchi" Kise rolled his eyes and took Aomine´s place. "Do you need help to get to the bath Kagami-cchi?"

The redhead glared, "I only asked Kuroko to come in" he muttered, "and no I don´t need your help – just get me some pain killers." Kise sighed, "Yes, yes of course," he got up, grabbed a still cursing Aomine by the arm and pulled him out of the room. Kuroko stared after them until the door closed again and returned his eyes to Kagami again. "Kagami-kun?"

"Could you maybe…" he looked at his hands and Kuroko needed to supress a smile when his cheeks glowed in red, "help me to the bathroom?" The smile somehow sneaked onto his lips and Kuroko was glad that Kagami still didn´t look at him because he probably would be rather pissed off. "Of course Kagami-kun."

The redhead nearly choked on his spit when Kuroko helped him up and there was something wet that ran down his inner thigh. Cursing and with a red face he limped over to the bathroom with Kuroko´s help and slammed the door shut as soon as he was inside – not giving the other boy a chance to follow him.

There had been a lot of times when Kagami had been embarrassed. When his team had found out he was afraid of dogs – and of ghosts – or when they had laughed at him at spouting embarrassing lines during a basketball game or when he thought the head of his teacher was a basketball. But nothing of that was worse than needing help of his friend he just had sex with the other night to get into the bathroom because his two other friends had fucked him too hard. And once Kagami sat inside his bathtub, enjoying the hot water he buried his face inside his hands. Oh God, he had sex with three of his friends – well two if one would be precise but that didn´t make it any better - and the night before he was with Kise and now… did that make him a slut? That definitely made him a slut right? But it wasn´t like he slept with them because he just could – without feelings and stuff like that, so – well – maybe he wasn´t a slut? Oh, God… he groaned.

He had sex with three people at the same time and normally one would have sex with one and – Aomine had taken his virginity! Kagami cursed to himself, how could that have happened? It wasn´t like he had planned to lose it to someone in particular and moreover he hadn´t thought about it very much anyway but now that it had happened… it maybe would have been better to lose it to someone else? Kagami pulled his knees against his chest, wincing when a stinging pain shot through his lower body.

But on the other hand… Aomine was hot –smoking hot, freaking hot, so goddamn ah… whatever – and if he didn´t talk he was actually nice and Kagami remembered how gentle his voice had sounded and how he had whispered into his ear, mumbling sweet things. He smiled to himself – maybe it hadn´t been that bad? Aomine had been rather sweet if one forgets how he stabbed his fingers into Kagami´s… urgh, don´t go there!
Kagami couldn´t remember ever feeling as good as yesterday and when Kise had begun to murmur dirty and filthy promises into his ear Kagamis whole body had felt like it was on fire.

Moreover - he began to shampoo his hair, closing his eyes at the sensation and sighed – it wasn´t like he didn´t like them, so… what was so difficult?

Maybe that they weren´t the only one he liked and that was fucked up as hell and how should he ever tell them that he also liked three other guys? How greedy was he? He should think that it was disgusting but strangely he was not – he knew it was more than sex he was interested in, he liked them. He liked talking to them, spending time and playing basketball with them. Although they were annoying as hell.

So the question appeared again – what was so difficult, so confusing? Usually he wasn´t one to hesitate when it came to the things he wanted but now he was unsure what to do and… he reached out and brushed his finger against his cat ears and winced when he remembered how Kuroko had touched them last night… maybe it all had to do with those things? The Generation of Miracles had started to gather around him after those cat ears had appeared, so… Kagami frowned – no, that wasn´t correct. Now that he thought about it they had started to visit him and play with him after the winter cup and it had become even more after the game against the American team – but with what intentions?

Kagami sighed and stood up, thankfully the pain killers had started to work and the pain had become less so the embarrassment also ceased and when Kagami closed the bathroom door behind him the flush on his face was caused from the hot water. He wrinkled his nose, "Kuroko? Did you cook?"

The smaller boy appeared in the door and smiled at him, "Did you enjoy the bath Kagami-kun?" The redhead averted his eyes and nodded, "Yeah thank you."

"And indeed I cooked breakfast; I was so free and used your kitchen Kagami-kun." Kagami snorted and ruffled Kurokos hair, "Of course Kuroko."

Kagami had thought that breakfast would be very awkward but it wasn´t. Well it firstly was as they sat down and no one seemed to be eager to talk, especially about the events from last night. And Kagami noticed how his three guests would look away whenever he fidgeted on his chair, still searching for comfortable sitting position that wouldn´t hurt his ass or his back (thanks to the painkillers it was better but still embarrassing as hell). So they sat there in silence until Aomine decided to start being his usual self and steal Kagami´s food which caused the redhead to explode into rage. Kuroko could only roll his eyes as he watched how his two friends started to fight and yell over some sausages and Kise who was caught in the middle whined about him being left out. What a mess.

But at least things went normal again – it would a pain to talk about yesterday when everyone was too tense to actually raise his voice.

Taking advantage of the chaos Kuroko stole a bit of Kagamis and Aomines rice which went unnoticed for a while until Aomine grew suspicious and the light blue haired boy chuckled inwardly when Aomine and Kagami found the same enemy in him, bonding over defeating Kuroko in a food war. Kise had given up halfway and just pushed his plate away, saying something about keeping his model body in line. It was chaotic but it was normal for them so Kuroko let it slide – normally he would scold the three of them but now he decided to let them be since the atmosphere was better when they finished cleaning up and Kuroko then urged the three to sit down on Kagamis couch.

The redhead leaned against the couch arm, resting his head on his hand as he tried to avert Kurokos round blue eyes, but the blue haired was determined to talk about this issue and one glance at Aomine and Kise showed that both had accepted their fate even though they appeared to have as much enthusiasm about this as had Kagami. That was at least something.

"I think it is important to declare something before we start to talk about what happened yesterday", Kuroko began with hesitation in his voice. "Actually we wanted to wait until we have found a solution for your problem but it seems that we cannot do that anymore."

Kagami lifted his eyes, curiously cocking his head at the smaller boy, "declare?" Kuroko swallowed and looked over to Aomine and Kise who both seemed to be a bit embarrassed wearing light blushes on their faces as they refused to look at Kagami or Kuroko.

Kuroko nodded, "We like Kagami-kun." He saw the confusion in the others boys face and sighed, "Not only in a friend – way Kagami-kun. More in a romantic way." He watched how Kagami´s eyes seemed double in their size and his whole face exploded in redness, "h-huh?"

Aomine rolled his eyes, "like that idiot" and he pulled Kagami in, crushing his lips against the open ones of the redhead who stiffened in his arms but quickly seemed to melt into the embrace and when Aomine let go of him Kagami owlishly blinked at him, looking a bit dazed. The blue head smirked, "See?"

Kagami nodded dumbly and turned towards Kuroko again whose eyes had darkened a bit at the sight of his lights and swallowed before he continued. "And we know that Kagami-kun likes us too."

Kagami spluttered at the bluntness and pressed his back against the back of the couch, looking back with bewildered eyes. "Hah? How do you want to know that you little shit?!"

Kise giggled, "Kagami-cchi is very obvious and Akashi-cchi said so, so it must be true."

"A-Akashi?" Kagami ran his hand though his hair; this was all a bit too much. His heart was pounding in his chest and he was sweating as if the temperature in the room had suddenly increased.

Kise nodded, "he said you are looking at us" he grinned and leaned forward so he could get a better look at the redhead. "Never knew one could have a crush on more people but well, you´re always surprise us Kagami-cchi!"

Kagami swallowed and stared at his hands, missing the glare from Kuroko that send Kise in the outer corner of the couch. That was true – how could someone like six people at the same time? And then even guys! How sick must he be to want them, to want every one of them and how could he ever expect them to give him what he wants!

"Kagami-kun."

He must be sick and mad in the head that he wants that. A relationship like that would never be accepted! He had heard people whispering about a relationship like that, polyamory or something like that but they had also giggled in secretive voices, calling them names and stuff and… Kagami didn´t want that. Someone would never suspect but he actually cared what people thought of him – which was the reason he never came out, at least in Japan, his friends back in America knew that he ticked that way but here… it was something entirely different and –

"Kagami-kun"

How the hell should he confess to his parents that he wasn´t in relationship with one guy and not even two or three – no his amount of boyfriends would count up to six! He frowned; when the hell did he get the idea to have a relationship with them?! Maybe they didn´t want that because that would mean they need to share – heat bloomed in his face and he could feel his groin tighten at the thought (what a pervert he was) – and who was he to be greedy and want all of them at the same time? Maybe they all wouldn´t want him in the end to not destroy their friendship and they would ban him from their gatherings because –

A nimble finger lifted his chin and soft lips were pressed against his, gently saving him from his own thoughts and red eyes blinked against blue ones when Kuroko let go and smiled at him. "I like this way more than jabbing Kagami-kun in his sides, don´t you agree?" The only thing he could do was nodding numbly, still lost in the tingle on his lips and the memory of the finger against his chin.

"Kagami-kun doesn´t think much but when he does he thinks too much." Kuroko stated and Kagami growled at him, anger being the substitute to embarrassment. "Oi!"

"I could hear Kagami-kun´s brain working and Kagami-kun´s face said more than his words. You shouldn´t worry about something that hadn´t happened yet." The redhead broke the eye contact to stare at his hands again, feeling caught and seen through.

"Well…"

"We don´t want to confuse Kagami-kun but it seemed the right time, maybe even a bit late given what had happened last night, to reveal our intentions towards Kagami-kun."

Kagami nodded and swallowed. "But it seems that Kagami-kun has another problem."

"Well… yeah…" he mumbled and jerked when Aomine threw one arm over his shoulder, "Spit it out, it´s disgusting to watch someone like you think about something!"

"You´re disgusting!" he weakly countered but Aomine didn´t even took the bite and just pulled him closer against his body.

Kagami sighed and freed himself from Aomines grip. "It´s… It´s just that I like all of you. N-not only one and – "

Kise frowned, "We know Kagami-cchi, what´s the problem?"

"Don´t interrupt me asshole!" he glared, "It´s just that no matter what I can´t decide! For – for – "

"For one of us." Kuroko ended his sentence as Kagami clearly couldn't speak the last words and the redhead nodded.

Aomine laughed, "We know that idiot!"

"E- eh?" Kagam looked up, obviously confused and Kuroko chuckled. "Maybe we were a bit unclear about our intentions, Kise-kun, Aomine-kun." He sat next to Kagami on the couch´s arm and gently let his fingers run through Kagamis hair, taking in how his light closed his eyes and leaned into the touch just like a cat. "When we first noticed that you had all of us wrapped around your little finger without even realizing it we needed to figure out what to do. And I think you can imagine that wasn´t very nice. In the first place." Kagami nodded, a bit put out from the touches on his hair and ears, "but now we all had something in common except for basketball and although a common love interest normally would split the group it drew us together. Even more when Akashi told us that Kagami-kun was also interested in us. All of us. That doesn´t save us from small fights and I´m sure that the fact that Aomine-kun took Kagami-kun´s virginity – " Aomine winced at that and Kagami wanted to pull away from Kuroko´s hands but quickly was pulled back, " will lead to a few problems but that won´t keep us from liking Kagami-kun. And life is too short to not try to be with the person you like, don´t you agree?"

Kagami nodded and purred when Kuroko´s fingernails were scrubbing over his cat ears, something that made Kuroko smile and Kise pout in jealousy. "And I think you´re aware that none of us will stop before getting what we want. They all showed you that on the court."

"That´s right", Aomine´s voice sounded on Kagami´s other side and teeth began to nibble at his human ear and the redhead took in a sharp breath when wicked fingers began to wander up and down his sides. "but still…" Aomine fingers remained motionless on one spot and Kagami could feel behind closed eyes when the darker boy leaned his head against his shoulder, "we wouldn´t do something you don´t like, you know?" A small smile appeared on Kagami´s lips. He liked that Aomine – the usual one was also fine but he liked how Aomine sometimes became thoughtful and a bit sensitive and even though it was nearly directly coupled with the insecure Aomine he didn´t like at all those caring character traits made Kagami fall for the other even harder. It was really cute and endearing; something he would never tell the other – who knew that kind of body parts he would lose.

"I know Ahomine" he muttered, "and it´s not like I can´t defend myself so – "

"Don´t call me an idiot you idiot and I want to see you defending yourself against Akashi and Murasakibara or against six horny guys who are determined to jump you!"

Kagami blushed furiously at those words because it wasn´t like he would mind six horny guys jumping him. It was actually a really hot thought. And apparently it also showed on his face,

"Haha Kagami-cchi would like that Aomine-cchi." Kise laughed and kneeled in front of the redhead who was determined to not let them see his face, burying it in Kuroko´s small neck.

"Never took you for a pervert Kagami" Aomine grinned and shook his head, "although… no I actually did, no one could be that innocent."

"I´m not innocent!" Kagami raged, lifting his head from Kuroko´s shoulder and glared at them, "We know but Tetsu really wanted us to believe that. No one should taint his precious light."

"Kuroko!" Kagami complained and Kuroko rolled his eyes, "Kagami-kun appeared really uncaring towards sex."

Kagami nearly pouted at that, "so what? Doesn´t make me innocent! Because I´m not!" Kise laughed and stood up; stretching his back and Kagami didn't even try to hide how his eyes roamed up and down the strong body appreciating , staying on the naked stomach that was shown when the T-shirt was lifted. Kise grinned, "He isn´t innocent at all Kuroko-cchi." And Kagami averted his eyes – just because he could appreciate a beautiful body didn´t make him a pervert. "Kise-kun and Aomine-kun corrupted Kagami-kun." Kuroko deadpanned and Kise´s expression fell, "eh? I would never do that!"

Aomine scoffed, "whatever. Oi Kagami where is your PlayStation? Let´s do something more fun." The redhead rolled his eyes, but still was grateful for the distraction, "where it always is Ahomine."

Aomine glared at the redhead for using that stupid nickname on him but his expression lit when he found the console and the games, "well then let´s play Mario Cart!"

"Not fair, I need to talk to my manager!" Kise whined as he played with his mobile phone. "Well sucks to be you" Aomine muttered, already reserving one controller as he shifted closer to Kagami on the couch, giving Kise a wide smirk.

Kise´s expression darkened at that and he laid his phone back to sit next to Kagami´s other side, stealing the controller from the redhead´s hands. Ignoring Kagami´s complains and dodging his attempts to get the controller back Kise mirrored Aomine´s expression from before. "Bring it on Aomine-cchi!"

"Why the hell am I in the middle?!" Kagami complained loudly as two hands pulled him back between the two aces as soon as he tried to get up – probably to flee again - and Kuroko sighed. "You should know that already Kagami-kun" and the blush that followed on the redhead´s cheeks was delicious.

Aomine´s and Kise´s competition that already had taken nearly two hours in which Kagami somehow had managed to sneak away from the sofa (honestly it was so goddamn hot between them) and had taken a seat next to Kuroko, somehow managing to fit into the arm chair, was interrupted by the ringing of the bell and Kagami frowned, confused.

"Did you invite someone else Kagami?" Aomine asked, his eyes still focused on the screen and Kagami shook his head before realizing that this dumbass wasn´t looking anyway. "No… did you Kuroko?"

The blue haired boy raised his eyebrows, "why should I invite people over to Kagamis house?" and Kagami rolled his eyes as he stood up "because you do things like that."

"I certainly do not Kagami-kun but I may have called Akashi and informed him about what Kagami-kun had told us." When confused red eyes looked back he sighed, "about the day at Midorima´s." Kagami nodded, "Oh, well then I shouldn´t make them wait any longer – who knows what Akashi might do."

"Kagami-kun´s impression of Akashi-kun is unfounded bad." Kuroko stated. "You know I´m right Kuroko!" Kagami called back from the front door as they waited for their visitors to arrive. "Kagami-kun is really negative." Kuroko mumbled more to himself and Aomine laughed at that, "Akashi is scary, just admit it Tetsu."

"Hah, I won Aomine-cchi!" Kise cheered at this moment and Aomine gaped at the screen, "Whaat, no way! You cheated you fucker!"

"No way Aomine-cchi! That´s karma!"

Kuroko nodded, "Aomine-kun will burn in hell one day."

"Tetsu you bastard!"

"Oh, Kise won?" Kagami asked and smirked at Aomine, "well serves you right you bastard!" The dark blue haired boy growled at that, giving the redhead the finger, "Oh shut up you, you didn´t even play!"

"Because Kise stole the controller, idiot!"

Kuroko cleared his throat and pulled at Kagami´s shirt, "Kagami-kun what are you doing here? You should welcome your new guests."

"Hah? They´re slow and they know how to get here so why should I?" the redhead complained and Kuroko rolled his eyes, "Kagami-kun is an uncultured oaf."

A vein popped at Kagami´s forehead, "Oi you little shit, what did you - ?"

"Kagamin, how cute you look!" a female voice suddenly screeched and Kagami jerked when a pink haired girl suddenly jumped at him, staring at his head with big round and almost sparkling eyes. "Sei-chan already told me everything but I never thought – "she pulled his head down and squeezed his ears making Kagami wince in a really unmanly way, "it would be that cute!"

Kagami lightly blushed at her antics but even though he wanted nothing more than to flee from the grip he hold himself back since he knew his strength would often get the better of him and he really didn´t want to hurt her somehow. So he carefully pulled back with a questioning sound when she squealed again how utterly adorable he would look and Kagami gave Kuroko a pained look who just stared back at him, shaking his head. So no help from there.

"Satsuki, I am sure Taiga would appreciate it if you would let him go." Akashi´s calm voice reached Kagami´s ears and although he normally wasn´t that appeased to hear the smaller redhead´s voice he sure was grateful now as Momoi lightly blushed and appeared a bit bashful as she retreated, sticking a pink strand of hair behind her ear.

"Ah, that is right, I´m sorry Kagamin. Your look just… surprised me." She gave him a small smile and Kagami averted his eyes, nodding, and "Yeah… happens, huh?"

"When Dai-chan told me about you I couldn´t believe it at first but – "she cocked her head, "it appears that you have a lot of secrets buried in your past Kagamin." Confused Kagami frowned at her and then looked over to Midorima and Murasakibara who were standing in the background, looking around his living room, averting their eyes.

"I – Is that so?" he asked and Momoi nodded, "that is why I am here Kagamin, Sei-chan, Midorin and me searched a bit for more information since Dai-chan told me that you didn´t remember anything but firstly… where is Tetsu-kun?"

A bit caught off guard Kagami stumbled over his words saying that he would be right here before he looked around and noticed that Kuroko was – in fact – not here. Confused he turned towards Kise and Aomine, "I think he went to take a dumb." Aomine grumbled, still pouting over his loss and Kise shrieked, "don´t say it like that Aomine-cchi, Kuroko-cchi isn´t so crude!"

Aomine rolled his eyes, "What the hell, he has needs like everyone else."

"But I agree with Kise-kun. You could have said it in a different manner." Kuroko´s voice sounded from the doorway and Kagami twitched, "Oi Kuroko give a guy a warning."

"The only one who – "

"Tetsu-kun!" Kagami sighed as he watched the girl jump at the smaller boy who seemed to quiver under her weight but still managed to stay standing and even gave a small smile, "Momoi-san."

She gave him a blinding smile, "It´s good to see you, whenever I call you you´re always busy!" He nodded, "I apologize Momoi-san; a lot of my time was taken up by Kagami-kun."

"Oi, I didn´t ask for that!" the redhead shouted, a bit afraid the girl would be angry with him for apparently taking away her time with Kuroko – which would be ridiculous. She turned around, stemming her arms in her sides and Kagami now was sure that she was angry at him so he had already raise his hands in defence when she began talking. "That´s right but well – " she eyed his figure and it took a lot for Kagami not to quiver under her knowing eyes and he swallowed when her eyes suddenly widened and a blush appeared on her cheeks. "Tetsu-kun… did you and Dai-chan and Ki-chan stayed the night?" Kagami blinked at her and then looked at Kuroko in confusion and red eyes widened when he saw Kuroko blush, "Y-yes we did." Momoi nodded, swallowing and suddenly her eyes seemed guarded as she focused at Kagami again and it didn´t take much for the redhead to figure out what Momoi just realized. Heat bloomed in his face and he wrapped his arms around himself, now suddenly the centre of the attention of the whole room and when he glanced up at Midorima and Murasakibara they seemed to stiffen and averted his gaze. Well shit.

"Anyway, Kagamin?" Momoi´s voice appeared sweet and light again but even Kagami could hear the light tremor in her voice and after she cleared her throat her tone had hardened as she approached his figure and let her eyes wander over his body. "I have to admit that it was really difficult to find anything about your case and what we have found is far from satisfying but maybe it is better than nothing." She frowned lightly, "I really don´t like that. Even I couldn´t get through those firewalls and since the website only could be found in the deep web it was even more difficult."

She sighed and gave Kagami a small smile as he only looked at her in confusion, "deep web?" She waved it off, "that´s not important right now." The redhead nodded again, accepting her words because he really didn´t want to anger her right now. He had the feeling that the girl was trying really hard not to lose it in front of him. He had no idea how Momoi had figured about them and Kagami was sure that only Riko was able to draw that much information from a body but apparently Momoi was the same when it came to issues that were concerning Kuroko. Kagami swallowed, we like you Kagami-kun. He glanced over to Kuroko who wore his mask of indifference but years of friendship had taught Kagami that Kuroko wasn´t as calm as he appeared to be.

"O-okay… ah are you hungry maybe?" He asked and ran his hand through his hair, looking at the group of people in his apartment and when his eyes met with Akashi´s he quickly looked at someone else – that red haired midget was terrifying, now that he got suspicious and stared at Kagami with cold and calculating eyes. "We could order something since… my fridge isn´t prepared for so many guests."

Midorima nodded, "Something to eat would be appreciated."

Murasakiara already seemed to drool on the green haired boy´s shoulder and nodded eagerly, "I want candy."

"Murasakibara, candy isn´t food. I would suggest to order something Italian."

"Ehh, no I want to eat Japanese!" Kise complained and Kagami sighed, leaning back against the wall as he watched the small group fight over what to order – it didn´t matter to him as long as they would get it fast. "Kagami-kun?" Kuroko´s voice sounded from his right side and Kagami could proudly say that he didn´t jerk under the appearance of the blue haired boy (only a little). "Hm?"

"I would like to excuse myself for a bit and talk with Momoi-san." Kagami raised his eyebrows at the smaller boy and then looked over to the only girl in their circle. She currently was scolding Aomine about something and Kagami smirked when he watched the other pout at something only to nod in the end. Women were terrifying.

He nodded, "Uh yeah – you do that." He mumbled wincing at the memory of Momoi when she found out Kuroko had slept over. She knew – she definitely knew and now everyone else also did. "I´m sorry that it got so embarrassing Kagami-kun," Kuroko apologized and when Kagami found himself able to nod he was already gone, taking Momoi with him. The redhead sighed, "Oi, did you decide?"

"Italian." Midorima stated and Kagami winced at Kise´s whine, "No!"

"Whatever", he grumbled, "I will order Pizza, who wants what?"

And here it began again. Kagami groaned when five people gathered around the menu of the restaurant and started to argue about what Pizza would be the best. And the whole time Kagami could feel Akashi´s gaze on him like a predator and the redhead swore to himself that he would do everything to avoid being in one room with Rakuzan´s captain.

As Momoi and Kuroko got back, fifteen minutes after they had begun to discuss what Pizza to choose, everyone finally had made their choice and fortunately neither Kuroko nor Momoi were rather picky and Kagami sighed contently when he finally closed his phone and the only thing to do was wait for the food.

Well, except for the talking thing - Kagami wasn´t sure if he actually wanted since they had already talked today but on the other hand he was rather curious. And he was also curious about what Momoi and Kuroko had talked about because the hard look on Momoi´s face had fallen off and she had given Kagami a small but beautiful smile.

"So…" he began as everyone had settled in his living room, "what did you find?" Kagami asked and stared at Momoi with curious eyes. She nodded, "I already said that it wasn´t that much because lots of information had been destroyed and deleted or was protected with software I had never seen before. But we found a website where the name Grayson is mentioned. Jonathan Grayson – half American half Japanese although his name doesn´t give it away."

Kagami blinked and stared at his hands. Jonathan… somehow it rang a bell deep inside his mind but he couldn´t put his finger on it. "Do you remember someone that goes by this name Kagami-kun?" Kuroko asked and Kagami looked up, frowning. "I´m not sure…"

Momoi smiled at him, "Well but that isn't everything. There are more Graysons on this planet than we might guess but still…" she took a deep breath, "there wasn´t much on the website but he is obviously is a doctor and also a very good one. He is well known on this terrain."

Midorima nodded and adjusted his glasses, "it appears that my father had heard of him. He wasn´t certain in the beginning but now that we were able to find more information about Grayson he is very sure to have heard about that man. Even though he was highly skilled on his discipline – the surgery – he was also known to be a dreamer and someone with questionable ideas and a loose morale."

Kagami nodded, "uhhu and – "

Momoi raised her hands, "That isn´t all Kagamin. He spent most of his life in America, Los Angeles but now it appears he lives in Japan."

Something twisted in Kagami´s stomach, "What? You mean he is here somewhere?!" Akashi nodded, "That is true but please remember Japan is big and we couldn´t pinpoint his exact position." The tall redhead swallowed and nodded, "Y – yeah, you´re right… still…"

Kuroko smiled, "It´s alright Kagami-kun," and Momoi nodded, "Midorin´s father found a striking article about an interview that was held with Doctor Grayson. It is really old, almost fifteen years but it is really interesting when we think about your situation right now."

"Get to the point Satsuki" Aomine drawled and yawned, "I´m so hungry…"

Momoi glared at him, puffing her cheeks, "Dai-chan, be quiet! This is important!" "Exacly Ahomine, shut up!" Kagami huffed, turning to Momoi to let her continue.

"Tche…"

Momoi gave Aomine one last annoyed glance before she sighed, continuing "The interview is about an idea from Doctor Grayson that was thrown away with a joke at the end of the talk but since it is about the proposition to hybridize human and animals I thought it was really interesting."

With big eyes Kagami stared at Momoi, "that´s disgusting. Y –you think I – "She shook her head, "No, it´s also more about putting animals features into a human. Not gaining a crossbreed through the sexual act. So it would happen inside a laboratory with surgery instruments."

"And a hormone therapy," Midorima added and Kagami cocked his head in question, ears flickering "Hormone?"

The green haired boy nodded, "An animal needs special growth hormones that don´t exist inside a human body, moreover it would be necessary to let the animal trait appear as a part of the human body and not as a foreign one. If the body doesn´t recognize it as its own it will fight it and the human will probably die. It is the same with heart transplantation. You can compare to an allergic reaction."

Kagami nodded and swallowed when Midorima mentioned that chance for a death. "The hormone therapy is probably the one that makes the process so dangerous since normally a human is not made for foreign hormones. Although a head surgery is also not a matter to take easy."

"So it´s actually a really shitty thing." Kagami sniggered and shook his head, immediately reaching for the cat ears on his head. "But what I don´t understand is why it happened now. I mean – if it happened when I was young, before my foster parents adopted me…" Kagami frowned as another question appeared in his head. What if - …

Akashi cleared his throat, guiding Kagamis thoughts back to their conversation, "We also thought about that and that was when the newspaper became important." The redhead cocked his head in confusion and turned to Akashi when the smaller redhead continued. "Those articles contained information about a fire that happened in the mansion you were found at Taiga. What is most likely to happen that for some reason it became important to hide those feline characters of yours and since we have to do it with an intelligent man I suppose he considered that possibility from the very beginning." He glanced at Kagami with calm and wondering eyes, "if you have hormones you can always find their opposite. Suppressors that work against the effect of the original hormone. It is possible that you were treated with those antagonists. And it is possible that those didn´t work anymore now – maybe due to puberty or other causes."

Midorima nodded, "Today my father told me about the results of the blood tests. He tested it for various options, too many to name right now but the most important result was that he found hormones that were usually found in cats – feminine cats."

Kagami´s whole vision seemed to waver under Midorima´s attentive gaze and he found his hands trembling when he looked down, swallowing as he took in the information. He wasn´t really angry like the first time they revealed something new to him – now he was just… shaken? He couldn´t find the right words to describe the things inside him right now. It was all a bit too much, he felt like he was going to cry but on the same time he wanted to scream, there was frustration and something else. Someone had fucked with his body, shooting strange things into his blood and put those things into him! What else had he done? Who was he? And why did he do it? Curiosity? Fame? Money? Kagami swallowed and he could feel his head spin as his blood raced through his veins making him slightly dizzy.

"Kagami-cchi?"

"H-huh?" startled he looked up and met seven concerned faces. Kise smiled at him, "Appears to be a dumb question but – " "All of your questions are dumb Kise…" Aomine muttered but he also send a concerned look to the redhead. "Aomine-cchi, stop being so mean." Kise glared at the darker boy who just shrugged it off as the blonde model turned towards Kagami again, "I wanna ask if you´re alright Kagami-cchi"

Kagami scoffed, "That is a stupid question," but Kise only gave him a helpless smile and Kagami thought that he wasn´t the only one who remembered how he reacted the first time to their news. He sighed, "I guess so…" It was actually true since the words didn´t make any sense in his head and he still needed to understand the whole meaning of this. He felt rather overloaded right now – not sure what to do.

Kise opened his mouth again but he was interrupted by the ringing bell and Kagami´s stomach growled loudly already complaining for food. Kuroko gave a quiet chuckle and Kise began to laugh loudly, "Maybe we should take of something different first."

Kagami nodded and looked over to Momoi who gave him a careful look, smiling at him. "We couldn´t find more Kagamin, I´m really sorry. We also can´t be sure if we have the right man but…"

He nodded, "I – I know, thank you."

The redhead got up with shaky legs, "I´m gonna get the food." Strangely he wasn´t all that hungry.

When they stomachs were filled they still talked a bit about Kagami´s past but except for the information Akashi, Momoi and Midorima told him about there was nothing new to figure out and Kagami´s head still was spinning with all the new things he heard and everything he needed to understand since it all seemed to resolve around him – and that man that somewhere was in Japan if the three were right and Kagami couldn´t find a reason to not believe them. He had been quiet for most of the time – only listening with one ear while his head was lost in thoughts that seemed to race and turn and twist around that man. He wanted it to end – he didn´t want those ears or anything else that had to do with cats. He just wanted to know what was going on!

So when Kuroko offered to take Momoi to the next station he released a breath he didn´t know he was holding since he didn´t know if he could have made any conversation with the girl right now and although he would have been grateful if the rest also left him alone he didn´t find the heart to throw them out. So when the door fell shut they began to clean up – at least Akashi, Midorima and Kise helped him since Aomine lazily was slumped over the couch and Murasakibara was hanging in the chair, yawning and chewing on some chips Kagami had found somewhere. They worked quietly, all a bit tired and Kagami was still lost in thoughts, moving on automatic and stand – by. He had expected someone to question him again but no one raised his voice, even when they sat back on Kagami´s couch again, watching Aomine and Kise going back to their Mario Cart battle.

"You really like Kagamin Tesu-kun, hm?" Momoi asked in a small voice, hinted with a bit of sadness and Kuroko swallowed but couldn´t hide the smile that sneaked on his lips as he nodded. "Yes."

Momoi nodded and wrapped her arms around herself. She had expected it; she was far from stupid and had noticed how her friend´s attention had been more and more directed at the hot-headed redhead. She had only hoped that it would stay as the deep affectionate friendship Kuroko shared with Aomine but apparently – she gazed at the blue haired boy who still held her heart – Kagami had something that had captured Kuroko´s attention and given the way he interacting with his light – probably his heart.

She smiled a bit ruefully and sighed, staring up at the sky. "I am really sorry Momoi-san…" Kuroko said beside her and she shook her head. "You already said that Tetsu-kun and… you can´t choose who you fall in love with, right?"

Kuroko shook his head, "Momoi-san is really wise" and the pink haired girl laughed, "Now you´re being dramatic Tetsu-kun." The boy smiled, "it does seem that I spend too much time with Kagami-kun."

Momoi laughed at that, even if a bit pained, "you need to be careful Tetsu-kun" she quietly said and immediately felt attentive blue eyes on her. "It is unlikely that our research had gone unnoticed so…" she looked at him with concern in her eyes, "the man is highly intelligent so he will search for Kagamin. There need to be a reason why he let him go since he obviously didn´t die and continued doing his work here in Japan. The experiments he did were highly illegal so maybe you should go to the police. I´m not sure if this is something we should try to solve on our own."

Kuroko nodded, "I also thought about this when Momoi-san talked about Kagami-kun and I´m sure we will talk about this in the next days but for today I think it was enough. Kagami-kun seemed really shocked and out of it – not that someone can´t blame him."

Momoi sighed and turned towards the other boy when they reached the station. "That is true, it was all a bit much since it all is concerning him. We don´t know what he must go through but…" her expression became a bit dreamy, "those ears and that tail are really cute. They suit him so well and – haaah – I can understand why you jumped him."

Kuroko blushed lightly and averted his eyes, "We shouldn´t have done it…"

Momoi giggled, "But how was it? You owe me at least something Tetsu-kun!"

Kuroko sighed and looked at the excited girl, remembering how she nearly had cried when had told her that he liked Kagami – and not her. Maybe he did owe her something.

"It was good…" he mumbled quietly and the girl a light squeal, "Oh come one Tetsu-kun, something more!" Kuroko gave her a light glare but sighed, "… his mouth felt really good. And the noises Kagami-kun made were…" blue eyes unfocused and Momoi shook her head, knowing that he wouldn´t get more out of her friend and she smiled gently at him. "I still wish you the best, Tetsu-kun. You deserve it and if Kagamin hurts you I´m going to hurt him – cat ears or not."

Kuroko gave a quiet laugh and nodded, "I don´t think he will but thank you, I appreciate it. I wish Momoi-san all the best. The boy Momoi-san will lose her heart to is a lucky man." She smiled sadly at him and gave him a last hug before entering the train, waving at Kuroko for one last time.

When Kuroko entered Kagami´s apartment again, using the key Kagami had given with a shrug, he found his teammates sitting and laying on the couch with the redhead in the middle, arms and knees bumping against each other and Kuroko smiled. There still was a small sting of jealousy but even more he felt content when he saw his friends acting so naturally around each other although a glance to Akashi told him that there still was something they had to talk about and when he entered the living room with a small greeting on his lips he knew that this moment had arrived.

"Tetsuya. You returned." Akashi stated and Kuroko nodded, not breaking the eye contact. Akashi cocked his head and smiled that cold smile that even could make Kuroko shiver and by the way the rest stiffened Kuroko could sense they also felt it.

"Maybe you could elaborate on the events that had taken place last night." It wasn´t formulated as a question and it sure wasn´t meant as one and Kuroko sighed as he took a seat next to Murasakibara who also glanced down at him with questions in his eyes.

"Doesn´t Akashi-kun already know?" he asked, feeling a bit brave and returned Akashi´s gaze with as much determination. "Well I would like to hear it from you Tetsuya."

"Akashi, you shouldn´t – "With one glare Akashi quieted Kagami who swallowed and looked down on his lap – Akashi had some weird power over him that made the redhead want to submit to him. And it shouldn´t be so arousing – especially now.

"We had sex." Kuroko bluntly said and Kagami flushed – it felt like his whole body was on fire. "Kuroko!" the redhead shouted and glared at Aomne when the guy threw one arm around his shoulder, watching him with lidded eyes as a smirk crawled on his lips. And god he shouldn´t – wasn´t allowed – to look so hot like that!

"I am positive that you remember the agreement we had on this matter?" Akashi inquired with narrowed eyes and Kagami´s widened.

"Indeed but – "

"What agreement?" he asked suspiciously and Aomine´s arm slipped from his shoulder. "We actually agreed on not… acting on our – " Aomine frowned, "well, you know, feelings."

Kuroko nodded, "it didn´t appear as the right thing to do when everything in Kagami-kun´s life was chaotic at the moment. We wanted to let you figure it out at first before confusing Kagami-kun with our desires. And we already talked about this Kagami-kun."

Kagami frowned, "Well yeah but still… shouldn´t you let me decide that? When I am ready – as you put it?!"

Akashi sighed and leaned forward, "I am sure that they also told you about their feelings but… probably not only about their own?" Forgetting his anger for a moment Kagami blushed and broke the eye contact as he nodded. "Relationships aren´t easy if they happen between two people but if you add five more it becomes even more difficult." He eyed Kagami for a moment, "so we decided it was for the best to leave you alone on that matter. At first. But – " he looked over to Aomine and Kise with a hard look, "It seems that some people didn´t respect that decision."

"Oi, don´t blame it on me Akashi, Kise was the first!" Aomine complained, crossing his arms on his chest and he sniggered when Kise swallowed under Akashi´s cold eyes. "Ryouta?"

"W-well you know Akashi-cchi, Kagami-cchi was a bit…"

"Oi, don´t talk about that Kise!" Kagami interrupted as he caught on what Kise wanted to refer to. Akashi raised his eyes, "about what?"

"What Kise probably wants to refer to is that the feline hormones in Kagami´s body are… in heat causing him to feel unfamiliar and strong arousal." Midorimas explained earning a heated look from Kagami. "How do you know?!" he hissed and Midorima adjusted his glasses, unconcerned by the redhead´s tone. "My father tested on everything as I already told you."

Kagami swallowed and ruffled his hair, "oh..."

"See Akashi-cchi, we kind of helped him!" Kise tried to rescue the situation. "Don´t say it like that!" Kagami shouted back, "I didn't need your help!" He knew had said the wrong thing when Kise´s smile became devilish and he gulped. "Well it surely didn´t look that way Kagami-cchi" he smirked, "I remember very well how you nearly begged me to do something, to – "With a quick jump Kagami gotten over to the blonde talkative model and slammed his hand over that stupid mouth. "Shut up!"

"Is that so Taiga?" Akashi asked, resting his chin against his hand and Kagami swallowed. "W-well… I don´t know. I didn´t like feeling that way."

Akashi nodded and then stood up, taking a few steps to stop in front of Kagami, looking down at the other redhead with a strange expression on his face and before Kagami knew what was going on Akashi´s lips covered his. Soft and cool, pressing gently against his as they moved against each other, creating a rhythm of kissing and breathing. Kagami´s hand fell from Kise´s mouth and clawed into Akashi´s jacket while the hands of the captain gently embraced his face, massaging his skin. Kagami blinked a bit dazed when Akashi retreated and stared still lost at the other boy who smiled down at him, petting his ears and Kagami closed his eyes, purring against the hand.

"Hm I think I can understand the problem that had occurred" Akashi wondered and went back to his chair. Before Kagami was able to question Akashi´s move his head was grabbed by big hands, turned upwards until his neck nearly cracked and then his mouth was practically eaten by Murasakibara who leaned over an annoyed Aomine to crush his lips into Kagamis again and again. It was so different from Akashi´s kiss which had been controlled and soft – this was passionate and wild and Kagami was struggling to keep up with this greedy mouth that seemed eager to get to know every corner of Kagami´s mouth.

When Murasakibara leaned back Kagami panted, his head felt mushy and his lips burned and tingled as his whole body seemed to shiver under the sensations.

"I… huh?" Kagami dumbly muttered, still out of it and Kise giggled, "Kagami-cchi´s words gotten stolen."

"Not that he had very many from the beginning" Midorima stated and he uncomfortably shifted in his sitting position as he fought with himself if he should also kiss the other. But that seemed like he wanted it that much – which he didn´t but of course on the other hand…

"It is only fair that we got to kiss Kaga-chin," Murasakibara mumbled and Akashi nodded, "I also suggest that we move to the bedroom" Kagami nearly choked on his own spit, "What?!" Akashi cocked his head, "to continue our activity" and Kagami shook his head, "that – that isn´t some kind of competition Akashi!"

"But I wanna sleep with Kaga-chin" Murasakibara whined and Kagami swallowed, what the hell was going on?! Moments ago they had talked seriously about possible reasons for Kagami´s change and now the conversation turned towards an even less comfortable direction! "I – I can´t…" he mumbled and blushed under Akashi´s curious gaze. "Why is that?"

When Kagami didn´t answer and only stared at his hands Aomine raised his voice and Kagami wished he had said something. "We did him too hard." He smirked and Kagami punched him into the face – hard.

"So you already had penetrative sex" Akashi said, untouched by Kagami´s display of violence. Kise blushed and Kagami shouted "don´t say it like that!"

"Aomine was the first, I suppose?"

Aomine gulped as he held his hurting face and turned towards Akashi´s dark face. "So you took Taiga´s virginity." His tone resembled the look on his face, cold and dark and Kagami buried his face into his hands. How the hell did he get into that mess?

"I don´t care anymore" he said and stood up, supressing the wince at the sudden move, "I´m tired so I´m going to sleep now."

"We still have to talk about this Taiga." Akashi frowned and Kagami shook his head, collecting the pizza boxes to throw them into the trash. "I´m tired. I don´t want to."

"Maybe Kagami-kun is right Akashi-kun, we are all tired and it is already late. There always is tomorrow and I think Kagami-kun has a lot to think about."

Akashi sighed and nodded, beginning to help Kagami to pick up the trash. "Maybe you are right Tetsuya. I apologize for my forwardness Taiga." Kagami gave him a pained smile, "It´s alright."

After they had discussed the sleeping matters Kagami pulled out the futons and bid Aomine a good night who was yawning on the couch. "Oi Kagami?"

"Hm?" the redhead turned around with a questioning gaze and Aomine pointed on his lips, "A good night kiss." Red eyes widened, "haaa? No way!" The blue haired boy pouted and Kagami averted his eyes, catching himself thinking how cute the other looked. And those words didn´t go well with each other. Aomine and cute. Although they did.

"Please?"

Kagami sighed and bit his lip in thoughts before making his way to the couch, determined to get it over. Leaning down he caught Aomine´s lips with his, giving him a light kiss but as he tried to retreat Aomine´s hand caught the back of his head, keeping him in place before finally letting him go. Kagami stared at him, "good night Ahomine." He rolled his eyes when Aomine smirked back, "Sleep tight, Bakagami, although you don´t have me in your bed anymore." Kagami smacked his head, "you wish idiot" and waved over to Kuroko and Kise who had taken the futons and he sighed when Kise obviously pouted and Kuroko waved him over. Kuroko´s kiss was gentle, sweet and short while Kise could even make a short good night kiss dirty and when Kagami pulled back, a bit out of breath Kise placed one sweet kiss on his cheeks, giving him a sunny smile before he pulled the covers up to his chin. "Nighty night Kagami-cchi!" "Good night Kagami-kun" Kuroko followed and Kagami nodded, muttering a short "good night before making his way to his room which he shared with Akashi and Muraskibara this night but before he could reach his room a hand grabbed him and pushed him against the wall.

Midorima´s mouth found his in a much more passionate kiss than Kagami would have put it past him and when the tongue of the green haired boy slipped into his mouth Kagami moaned into the touch as he hold on to Midorima´s shirt, giving back as good as he got. When Midorima pulled back he was panting as was Kagami and they stared at each other for a few moments before Midorima let him go and adjusted his glasses. "Good night Kagami." He murmured before disappearing into the guest room.

Kagami stayed in the position he was in before, blinking into nothing before a smile creeped onto his face. Who knew Midorima could kiss like that?
Still a bit flushed Kagami opened the door of his room and he raised his eye brows at the sight. Murasakibara was far too big for his bed and even more if he considered that he still needed to fit in there. "Ah… how…"

"Kaga-chin, come here." Murasakibara patted on the place next to him and Kagami sighed, pulling off his pants, leaving on his shirt since he didn´t want them to see all the… hickeys and bruises Aomine, Kise and Kuroko had left on his body. That would be even more embarrassing although Kagami wasn´t sure if that was even possible.

"Do you intent to keep on your shirt?" Akashi asked and Kagami turned around, taking in the smaller boy who leaned against the door frame. He appeared somehow angelic in that light, with that reddish hair and gentle eyes that wore such a fond expression that it nearly made Kagami choke on something – whatever it was. That side if Akashi was really nice and comforting – just as comforting as the other half was horrifying.

"Uhm well – I guess?"

Akashi rolled his eyes and pulled on Kagami´s shirt when he passed him, "the temperature in your bed will increase with two more people in it." And Murasakibara hummed in agreement. "Ah no, really I´m alright" Kagami nervously grinned and climbed into the bed. He shrieked when Murasakibara suddenly pulled on his shirt, slipping it from his figure when he was too surprised to struggle. He shivered when Akashi´s eyes wandered over his chest and his expression darkened at the bruises and hickeys that covered his whole upper body.

"It seems that we need to cover you in new ones as fast as possible." He stated and trailed his skin with his finger, letting the tip dance around one dark bruise under Kagami´s nipple and Kagami remembered with a swallow how Kise´s mouth had feasted on his skin, digging in his teeth before smothering the pain with careful licks. Kagami clenched his jaw and looked over his shoulder when he felt Murasakibara leaning against him, mouthing his shoulder – hot and wet. "B-but I´m really tired" he argued and Akashi nodded, letting go. "We understand" he then gave Kagami a soft kiss and smiled at him before lying down. Kagami then turned around and was caught by Murasakibara who pressed a few small kisses on his lips, whispering a sweet good night against his mouth and then Kagami fell half dead on his pillow, closing his eyes. He felt Murasakibaras arms around him, pulling him closer and when Akashi snuggled against him he was grateful that he didn´t wear a T-shirt. It was hot. And skin contact was always nice.

The redhead awoke from his slumber as he was unable to fall into deep sleep. He stared at the ceiling, his head far too busy with processing today´s events to fall asleep. And it was indeed very hot in his bed with Akashi pressed against his front and Murasakibara wrapped around him like a second blanket from the back.

Carefully he slipped out of their grips, laying Murasakibara´s arms around Akashi and he smiled when they snuggled together, unconsciously seeking the warmth of the other body. It was reassuring to see Akashi like that – it made him seem so much more human. Kagami knew that the smaller redhead was human – of course he was –but sometimes he doubted it when Akashi became like that small red haired demon. On the other hand, he knew what pressure Akashi suffered under and Kuroko had told him about that split of his personality, which was obvious by now even to someone like Kagami but still… Akashi could be terrifying.

He pulled on his pants and T-Shirt, grabbed his keys and sneaked through the front door with a basketball in his arms. Basketball always calmed him down and let him order his thoughts so they made more sense and that was something he really needed now because nothing seemed to make sense anymore. And Kagami didn´t like feeling out of control like that – it made him feel so goddamn vulnerable.

The air was cool and soothing as he made his way to the court and it felt amazing to breathe freely, taking in the fresh air and his legs felt like he could run a mile. Thanks to those stupid cat features the time he could spend outside was really small and to Kagami it was suffocating. But under the cover of the night no one would see him and no one was outside anyway.

He grinned when he entered the court and shrugged off his jacket, suddenly feeling far too warm. The ball felt great against his hand, rough and familiar and when it slipped through the basket, making that amazing sound Kagami felt energy running through his blood and he began to play against invisible players, dodging their attempts to steal the ball from him, dribbling through unknown walls and dunking the ball inside.

Kagami panted, stemming his hands against his knees as he watched the ball roll over the court against the fence.

What should he do? Was there something he could do? How could he possibly get rid of those cat ears? Maybe he should just cut them off! Drugging him until he couldn´t feel anything anymore and then cut them off? Simple as that. He grimaced at that thought – that sounded painful, like really, really painful. He shouldn´t do that. The redhead frowned; maybe he should go to the police? Say something about a doctor who thought it would be funny to mess around with a human´s body? But who knows what other people would also know then and what would happen to him… so, maybe he could ask Midorima´s father? He was a surgeon so it should be possible for him to cut those things off.

The redhead sighed, but what was even more important was what exactly had happened to him. He now really wanted to remember the time before he began to live with his foster parents. What was he like back then? How did he live? Who exactly was that man the supposedly lived with him? Who was he? Did he act like a father figure? Kagami remembered the dream where an unknown person had played with his smaller self, if that dream was more like a memory than a dream then it seemed that he got along with the man – maybe it wasn´t the same man? He frowned – why did he think that they were the same person anyway?

Sighing he made his way over to the ball and picked it up. Well… it was only a feeling that he had, and even though the man probably had done horrible things to him there was no anger when he tried to remember, no sadness and no pain. It was strange but he was convinced that the man who had caused those animal traits to appear was the same as the man in his dreams.

Kagami was ripped out of his thoughts when the ball was stolen from his hands and he jerked, barely supressing a frightened scream.

"Kaga-chin is a night owl."

With wide eyes the redhead turned around his relief washed over him when he saw Murasakibara standing beside him who cocked his head in confusion at Kagami´s expression. "Did I scare Kaga-chin?" The redhead laughed, his heartbeat slowed down a bit and he shook his head, "a bit – you shouldn´t sneak up to people like that!"

"Hmmh… and Kaga-chin should sneak out like that." Kagami bit his lip – ah, that was a good comeback. "When I woke up Kaga-chin wasn´t there anymore and when I couldn´t find him I thought that he maybe went out to play. Because he is a basketball idiot." Murasakibara said with wondering expression, "Oi, who are you calling an idiot you idiot?!" Kagami growled back but sighed when he met the other´s stare and shook his head. "I couldn´t sleep." He mumbled and Murasakibara nodded before long arms embraced the redhead who stood stock-still and blinked when Murasakibara pressed their bodies against each other.

"H - huh? What are you doing?"

"Kaga-chin looked sad." Muraskibara mumbled, "and confused. Muro-chin said hugs help." Kagami sniggered but returned the hug nonetheless, letting his head rest against the taller boy´s shoulder. When Murasakibara got that way it was the best to just let him do whatever he wanted and Kagami had to admit that it was rather nice. There were not many people who were significant taller than him and could surround his body like Murasakibara could. "Hugs can make you less confused?" The purple haired boy nodded, "Muro-chin said so. Calms Kaga-chin down."

"Hm, Tatsuya did?" Kagami murmured as he began to feel sleepy, eyes dropping here and then and Murasakibara nodded, typing something into his mobile phone with one hand.

Found Kaga-chin.

"Does Kaga-chin feel better now?" Murasaibara´s deep voice, rough from sleep and the cool air rumbled in Kagami´s ears and the redhead nodded and yawned, "Yeah, cooled my head down a bit"

"Then, can we go back?" Again he nodded against Mursakibara´s neck, his breath puffing over the other´s skin, "Kaga-chin that tickles!" the giant complained but didn´t do anything to stop Kagami so the redhead didn´t do something either and kept breathing against the skin. Murasakibara smelled good – sweet and of soap, clean. It was really nice and Kagami could fall asleep just like that.

"You should play against me!" he grinned with half lidden eyes, remembering why he had gone out in the first place and although he could barely supress a yawn there was a challenging spark inside red eyes that made Murasakibara want to agree to the offer. But he was tired – as was Kagami so he shook his head, threw Kagami´s jacket over to him and motioned the pouting boy to follow him. "Maybe tomorrow. I´m tired."

"But really tomorrow! You won´t escape that time!" Kagami shouted as he caught up with the talled boy who glanced at him, "only if Kaga-chin gives me reward."

"Reward?" the redhead asked, frowning, "like candy?"

Muraskibara nodded, lips curling just a bit "the best candy."
