Chapter 10: I don't need your pity

Aomine's

Aomine didn't expect this to happen. First, a while ago he decided to stalk in the gym of Seirin's basketball team and overheard the captain and the coach talking about Kagami. According to what he had eavesdropped, the idiot had been absent for days, and he didn't even bother to call or leave them a message. Second, after a few naggings and white lies, he had convinced his mom and dad that he won't bother his "friend" even if he'll stay in his house for two days, it's because of a school project anyway, and at least that's what his parents believed. And last, it was Tetsu who opened Kagami's door.

He knew that something's up, the atmosphere inside Kagami's place is too tense in the first place, added by Kagami's reaction, trying to hide when he had the chance, something is really up.

He placed his bag beside the big couch and he comfortably sat there while watching television and secretly taking a glimpse at Tetsu beside him, and Kagami in the kitchen. Kagami's face is red, and Tetsu's action seems irritated at something. He can also feel the small guy's gaze whenever he looks at the red-head.

"Oi Tetsu! Stop looking at me like I'm some criminal." Aomine maximizes his volume, wanting Kagami to overhear what he is saying.

"Aomine-kun, you know how rude you are now?" Tetso looked at him with eyes full of determination.

"Huh, how did I become rude in the first place?" Aomine raises his eyebrow.

"You should have informed Kagami-kun before inviting yourself here." Tetsu countered back.

Aomine smirked. "I don't need to tell him, since I ALREADY STAYED HERE BEFORE!" he smiled mockingly then look at Kagami, "right Taiga?"

Tetsu looked at Kagami. Kagami dropped something. "W-what are you talking about?! And d-don't call me Taiga!" he looked away at the two guys studying him.

Feeling a bit irritated, Aomine stand up and decided to 'help' Kagami in the kitchen. Tetsu was left in the living room with an aura that can kill.

"Hey, Kagami, about what happened the other day." Aomine started.

Kagami tensed up more and this time, drop a spoon. "W-where did that camre from?" he stuttered.

Aomine sighed, he knew he's being selfish now. "What happened between you and Tetsu?" He is nervous and afraid at the same time.

Kagami made another sound, something like a yelp, "N-nothing!"

"Kagami… I know it's none of my business." Aomine sighed again. "I know what's going on, well it's what my instincts been telling me this time." Kagami looked at him and he smiled weakly.

"Aomine…" Kagami said.

"Before you decide on things," Aomine looked at Kagami, all serious now, "I just want you to know that I'm very grateful that I met you and that you help me retrieve something that I lost for a long time." Aomine scratch the back of his head, this time, his face is slowly heating up and turning red. "Kagami, I… I l-like you." He looks at the table now, unsure of what to look. He heard Kagami making weird noise, dropping whatever he's been holding and yelping or growling and murmuring to himself, maybe in English, because he can't understand anything.

Aomine chuckled but he's still not looking at Kagami. "You know, Kagami, I'm new to this, really new to this."

"What the hell is going on with you guys popping all of a sudden and confessing at the same day!" Kagami blurted out in English.

XOX

That dinner was the most awkward one Aomine had ever known in his life. Tetsu and Kagami and him, are far from talking to each other. Although there are some side comments coming from Tetsu that complimented Kagami's food and cooking, other than that, the atmosphere is too difficult to handle.

After that, Kagami showed him the other room, Tetsu is far from wanting to go home. "Really Kuroko, it's getting late, you should go home now." Kagami patted his head which made Aomine burn in rage. He saw Tetsu look at him and smiled because of that. 'Tss lucky bastard!' he thought.

"Kagami-kun, are you sure you're going to be okay with this," Tetsu pointed at Aomine, "on your house?"

"W-what did you say Tetsu?!" Aomine shouted but Tetsu ignored him.

Kagami laughed, "Don't worry about me, I'll be okay."

"Kagami-kun, I'm on your speed dial, so if something came up, you know what to do." He turns to face Kagami, "I'll call the police within seconds."

"You're right Tetsu, I think you should be worried, don't worry Kagami, I'll try to be gentle cause I know it's your first time." Aomine winked at Kagami and chuckled. This made Kagami's face all red while Tetsu's face is as white as Kagami's clean wall.

"Kagami-kun! I think I'll stay here as well." Tetsu faced Kagami, Aomine laughed hysterically.

"H-huuuh?!" Kagami don't know what to do now.

"Tetsu, you know that you have classes tomorrow right?" Aomine is still laughing.

Kagami sighed and patted Tetsu's hair again making Aomine stop laughing and talking. "Kuroko, don't worry, oi Aomine! Stop acting like a spoiled brat, will yah?" he paused. "I'll make sure to look my room, I promise." He smiled forcedly.

"Like hell I can do that, I'm not like that at all!" Aomine rushed to the other room.

XOX

A few minutes had passed since Tetsu went home and Aomine decided to lock himself in 'his' room looking at the ceiling all this time. "Man, I'm screwed. I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what to do."

"Aomine." Kagami knocks.

"Hmmmn?"

"Uhhm, if you need something, just tell me okay?" Kagami said.

"Yeah." He answered.

"I'll just watch in the living room."

Aomine laughed at that. "What's with the 'locking your room' now?"

"Aomine, I…" Kagami sighed and then said, "I don't mean to hurt you."

'What's this?' Aomine thought. A few more minutes had passed and then he decided to settle things with Kagami. Kagami now is watching some English movie. He sat beside him, Kagami tensed up but didn't move away.

"Hey, I need to talk to you about something." Aomine started.

"Uhmmm." Kagami looked down.

"I don't need your pity, just so you know." Aomine started.

"W-what?!" Kagami was shocked.

"Listen, I don't need your pity Bakagami. I just want you to be honest, with yourself, and you know, I don't want you to pity me." He said.

Kagami was silent for a while which made him more nervous. 'Maybe this is his answer, maybe he has no thing for me, maybe I was wrong about our feelings being mutual, maybe' Aomine's chain of thought when suddenly Kagami leans forward, slowly and innocently gave him a peck in the lips.

Aomine can't move, all numb, all shock, shaking, but happy, really happy, yet he lost his voice.

Kagami looked away, scratch his cheeks and trying to hide his red face. "You said, I should be honest with myself so, I, uhhm…"

Aomine smiled, he knew that his own face can match Kagami's. This time, he touched Kagami's face with the back of his palms, Kagami tensed up, but didn't move. He slowly started to lean forward, towards Kagami. Kagami shutted his eyes immediately, a bit shaking. 'Cute!'

Aomine blurted out laughing, really, Kagami is too innocent. He ruffled Kagami's hair making the other guy growl.

"W-what the hell Ahomi-"

Kagami's words drowned from Aomine's lips.

NO! KUROKO! T_T
