Green Eyed Monster part 2
This peculiar morning had an 'over the edge' Kagami, tsking about every little thing he did wrong or anything Aomine did at all. His endless thoughts about the dream he had the night before weren't helpful, he was stressing out more than ever, he just wanted to forget about the dream and keep on his life like he always does -giving zero fucks about his rival Aomine fucking Daiki and his obnoxious face- unfortunately it wasn't that easy to accomplish.
Preparing breakfast and the bentos for lunch was helping him relax, back in his mind Kagami was relieve he calmed down, he wouldn't want his child to see him in that state much longer, she never cried whenever both aces fight because those fights were meaningless, that's how they were, they communicated through discussions and fights and she grew accustomed to it and it was fine, but not today, Kagami really not wanted her to see that awful aura he was emanating.
Breakfast was accomplished in total silence, not counting the weird faces and sounds Kagami made while feeding little Akemi, -that was something Aomine loved mocking if he was in the mood to mess up with Kagami- he knew something was odd about the red-head or at least he noticed how Kagami glared and furrowed his eyebrows at him from time to time from the other side of the table, the blue-head really does like teasing Kagami but he knew that this time he better stay in line and tried not get in the wrong side or he would end up with no food and having no food at lunch meant that he had to eat whatever shit Satsuki cooked, so no thank you. But, He was a bit curious, he wanted to know the reason for the bad temper yet his senses told him not to.
Bored to death and waiting for Kagami to finish washing the dishes, Aomine played with Akemi; using a frog plush as puppet and mimicking Midorima's voice with just a touch of silliness on the voice to make his daughter laugh, the blue-head began to talk.
"Today's cancer's lucky item is a kick in the ass..." just about to finish the sentence he heard knocks on the door, which was odd, most people uses the ring bell or intercom, maybe it was an old neighbor, the blue-head wondered but still ignore it, once again there were knocks but louder, by this time Kagami has heard the knocks, annoyingly, asked Aomine to open it before that someone knock down their door. For what it seemed like a long time to Kagami, the idea of not listening to Aomine's bickering over pranking children, Midorima arriving without notice or even Kuroko appearing out of nowhere, was killing him with curiosity, at the same time he thought it was unusual not to even listen a sound coming from the front door.
The red-head dried his hands and made his way through the living room and stopped when he tried to decipher who's familiar voice he was listening to.
Aomine, somehow deep within him knew this day would come, but never in this unexpected day or in any way if he was being honest. As every morning he was in his living room doing nothing but playing with Akemi and waiting for his red-head roommate to finish the dishes when he heard knocks on the door, that probably was a sign, one that he decided to ignore, but when he went and opened it -he didn't opened the door just because he was told by Kagami to do it, okay?!- in the hallway there he was standing still, a bit surprised and very very annoyed at the sight of the person standing before him, no, it wasn't the usual green-head basketball player from Shuutoku high, who's always wearing that annoyed scowl while waiting for someone to welcome him.
This person was someone entirely different, Aomine had heard so many stories about him, and sometimes even answered when he called but never had he been 2 meters away from this man with a poker face and a slight smile that turned into a scowl at the mere sight of Aomine's presence.
"Urgh, it's you.." The man with a very velvety voice said in a mockery way.
"I live here..." The blue-head rolled his eyes out.
"I'm aware, it doesn't make it any less irritating…" The handsome man wanted to keep on insulting when suddenly he was interrupted by Aomine.
"Yeah yeah whatever..what ya want?.. oh yeah so who're you again?" He knew who this person was, he's seen the photos on Kagami's nightstand and yet he just wanted to mock and irritate him, why? Simple, because he didn't like him.
"Jeez, you know who I am, you ape. God, I couldn't believe when I heard that my dear baby brother had to live with such a beast, seeing you here makes no sense for me, Taiga might have a reason for doing this but let me tell you Aomine Daiki, I don't like you, at all and I won't ever."
"Aha, Same" Aomine said in a bored tone with a finger in his ear knowing it pissed people off.
"Where's Taiga? The man, handsomely demanded an answer from the younger boy.
Kagami walked down the hall towards the front door wondering why was Aomine taking too long to get back. Heading towards the door, he suddenly stopped walking when a familiar voice called on his name.
Yep, Himuro Tetsuya, his older brother was chatting with his roommate inside his home and yet he couldn't figure out what exactly they were conversing.
"Tatsuya?" Kagami said in a surprised yet heartwarming voice, his eyes were wide but his smile was bright as the sun -Aomine didn't like it, he detested when he does that-.
"Ohhhhh Taiga!" Himuro's voice and Personality changed dramatically at the sight of his brother.
The man passed through Aomine, almost pushing him to the side to embraced in a warm hug filled of sweet love at his 1.90cm baby brother.
"Oh my Taiga, I missed you so much!"
"Yes, me too! Its been a while! ...What were you talking about?" The red-head asked looking from his brother whom kept hugging him to his annoyed faced roommate.
"Oh, we were just chatting about how much I missed you and how excited I am to finally meet the Aomine-Kagami family and how happy I am to know that I was blessed with a niece, isn't that right, Aomine-kun?"
Himuro looked back over his shoulder at Aomine with a "don't you dare say otherwise or I'll make of your life a fucking living hell" glare.
Aomine wasn't afraid of him, on the contrary he wanted to punch him so hard that mole of his falls down.
Fucking double face son of a bitch, he always do this over the phone, trying to act all sweet when he's talking to Kagami but when I answered he's an annoying fucker.
"jeez At least close the door you dope" Aomine whispered between teeth, turning around to close the door when a big hand grabbed the doorknob.
"Uwaahh Mine-chin I'm here too" Aomine's Teiko ex team mate, Murasakibara Atsushi was delighted with a strawberry lollipop.
"My bad Murasakibara!" the blue-hair said while closing the door behind the purple-head. They walked behind Kagami & Himuro but Aomine & Murasakibara didn't sit in the living room but went to the kitchen to get a drink.
"what do I owe you for the visit?" said Aomine not slightly glad Murasakibara was in his home.
"I only came to accompany Murochin, I didn't even want to come to Tokyo" the taller man said while sucking on his lollipop.
"is that so? Whatever…. So, is he always a 2-faced?" Aomine asked.
"Muro-chin? uh-uhh" the taller boy nodded while munching on a maiubo "Murochin is very mature and sweet, he always gives me snacks"
"hhhmmm" before Aomine could say anything else Murasakibara said: "He's so nice to me, he probably doesn't like you because you made Kagachin pregnant"
"WHA...what? Ewww no, what? Hell, that's impossible urgh eww, what the fuck, who says that kind of shit?"
"Aka-chin"
"That midget…. Murasakibara, listen, it's a lie, I didn't do such a thing!..." Aomine said trying to set things straight "...oh and it's not like it's possible y'know, we're both guys."
"mmm how you know? have you tried to Impregnate Kaga-chin?" said the taller boy.
"fuck no, stop saying that over and over again, jeez, Akashi bastard getting into people minds and make them think I impreg… ahhhhh!"
"impreg?" Kagami entered to the kitchen surprising Aomine with that half said word, although he didn't understand what was going on, he let it slide.
Entering to the kitchen, Himuro Tatsuya with Akemi into his arms, asked his dear brother for a cup of coffee, even though the kitchen was small and Aomine & Tatsuya kept a distance with each other it felt warm, well, only according to Kagami not aware of the suffocating tension.
By this, trying to keep the mood easier, Kagami asked "..so how long you gonna stay in Tokyo?"
"oh, we're getting back to Akita in a few days." he said with a smile.
"if you don't have a place to stay..." Kagami replied.
Aomine's head turned to his left side to glare at the red-head, gaining a winning glared from Himuro. Aomine really wanted to throw his glass of chocolate milk on the red-head's head and maybe punch him but that would be overreacting right?..so no, maybe just the glass of milk would be enough.
"ah sorry Taiga, Atsushi already offered to let me stay at his parent's home, either way thank you for the offering!"
Aomine was glad, he was rejoicing! Himuro staying at his home definitely would be atrocious.
"I see…" Kagami took his cellphone out of his pocket and saw the time. "...oh Shit! we're late, sorry Tatsuya but we gotta go to school, you both are free to stay here if you want, I'll try to come home early! Hey Ahomine, Let's go!"
Kagami hurriedly carried Akemi with only one hand and his sport bag with the other while Aomine carried his own sport bag and Akemi's babybag. Before both aces left the living room Himuro Tatsuya stopped Kagami.
"Taiga, since I'll be staying here, I can babysit Akemi!
"NO" Aomine turned his head towards Himuro. Nope nope nope he's not sitting anyone, not even my baby girl, who knows what shit he will tell her.
"It's okay Aomine-kun I'll take good care of her no need to worry, we're family after all" the Yosen boy said in a polite and well manner, which irked the blue-haired.
"No is a no" Aomine's voice sounded like a panther's growling at it's enemy.
"Aomine!" Kagami was tired of dealing with such an egoistical person, he stood up in front of his basketball rival and intensively glared, furious red met icy blue, challenge was seen, oh it's been so long since the last time they felt this kind of challenge but somehow Aomine could feel that Kagami was off, he thought that the reason wasn't that he openly deny Himuro to baby-sit but it was more of an inside issue within Kagami.
For once he back off, it was not that he was afraid of Kagami, hell no, never! But, within the rage he felt on Kagami's eyes he saw something else, something he's not sure what it was but it sure was something bad.
"tsk..." Aomine glared at Himuro "...something happens to her and I'll kill you!"
"oh my, Aomine-kun that's harsh, I would never do something to put her in danger"
Kagami began to feel a head-ache, he knew Aomine would keep nagging over texts asking about his daughter's well-being for the rest of the day.
If only life was easy as it was when he was at home with his parents, oh how he misses those days of not worrying about anything not even his grades because to be honest no school would throw him out because he fails some subjects, he was a basketball genius, he was Teiko's Ace and that was his best card, not that Satsuki would let him fail any class though but certainly Touou wouldn't survive any tournament without him, not when the Generation of Miracles or Kagami are playing. If only his peaceful days were back!
So, what was this feeling of insecurity? He wondered while stepping down the stairs of the newly apartment building, oh yeah it was because his baby girl was in hands of his "in law" err mmm… he didn't meant it like that way...or did he? Any who he's pissed he had to leave her with Himuro Tatsuya.
On top of it, he's been feeling something odd, he could see and feel how Kagami changed overnight, Aomine swore to the heavens and to Mai-chan's beautiful big boobs that this time he didn't mess with Kagami, maybe not in a way the red-head could be this angry.
"hey.." the blue-head not even looking at Kagami said while moving his sports bag from one shoulder to the other "what's wrong?" even though he wasn't facing him he still could see a twitch on Kagami's right hand.
"no-...nothing" he stuttered and Aomine noticed, oh shit.
"stop fucking around Kagami..." he paused for a second "...I know you! You're not being yourself, what the fuck is your problem? you're acting so fucking weird" Aomine didn't want to sound so harsh but this was how he is, can't be help.
"And who do you think is at fault I'm upset?" The red-head burst out, stopping mid-way through the park near the Seirin and the train station, intensively glaring.
"huh? How the hell should I know? I haven't done a thing to piss you off!"
"ah? Of course it's your goddam fault, you and..." and Kagami stopped, he recalled it was only a goddamn dream, he knew it wasn't real, he knew it but he couldn't help feeling that way. "tch.. forget it Aomine!"
"huhhhhhh? "Forget it" you say? Stop fucking around, all morning you've been all moody and unbearable, it's sickening"
"hell I am, I'm just.. tired of everything, this situation, how my life is going, how my head is full of shitty thoughts" fuck, he was running his mouth again.
"and what makes you think I'm not feeling the same way you do?"
"well, for starters, you don't seem to be bothered by this situation, you don't help me at all, you just loiter around, and Akemi..."
"wait, you don't think you're tired of her, do you?" Aomine took it the wrong way. His entire physique emanated wrath and disappointment. a shiver run down Kagami's spine freezing him for a second.
"You know what Kagami, fuck you!" Aomine walked off leaving behind a speechless Kagami.
Kagami did it this time, he shouldn't have talked like that, even less making Aomine think he was "tired" of their daughter because he would never feel that way, he loved her more than anything and yet he made Aomine think otherwise.
That morning Aomine & Kagami had a fight, one that's not as huge as that incident weeks ago but it was big, maybe their personalities were so much similar that those kind of situations were making them crazy. For one Aomine was a very dumb talker and even when he knew he's wrong he wasn't going to admit it, hell would freeze first. Kagami being a bit more centered than Aomine -just one bit- knew when to shut up -sometimes- but he knew that if Aomine always brought out the best of him in basketball, he can bring out the worst.
And this morning it was the other way around, Kagami spilled out things that made Aomine furious and walked away, he really had to or else he would punch Kagami. The red-head was well aware he was in the wrong but his feelings and thoughts were all mixed, and it all come back to that dream. he hated that dream and its consequences.
Kagami had to go home right after school ended because he had visitors but Aomine was not in the mood to be around Kagami nor that abominable brother. He went back to his parents home to "visit" and Momoi saw right through him.
"did you have a fight with Kagamin?"
"not that is your business"
"meany! you shouldn't make Kagamin angry"
"seems like I'm always at fault, right? can you, I dont know, think that maybe he messed up, not me?"
"oooh" she got it, this time it really wasn't Dai-chan's fault he would never state a discomfort like this and some how that relieves her. "hmm well whomever started it, need to cool down and make up for Akemi-chan's sake."
Satsuki was right, he hated when she was right, he knew that even though his daughter was small and would not remember it, it was not healthy but he'd not be the one saying sorry for something he didn't do. Nonetheless he would try to talk to Kagami to sort things out like a "normal" person. Oh who is he kidding?, they weren't normal people, they fight and argue and so far it had worked out.
After dining with his parents, Aomine went home, hmm well actually he spent a lot of time at the basketball court near his apartment building, he wanted to wait for Kagami to go to bed and avoid a midnight fight. Just to make it clear, he wasn't running away he just wanted to cool down and have at least a good night sleep before chatting again with Kagami.
It was around one in the morning when Aomine opened the door of the apartment, the hallway had a light on so he thought that Kagami might have been awaken, he went to the living room and notice all lights were off, obviously Kagami went to bed, what was he expecting?
The blue-haired went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and change to his pajamas, he laid down, yawned while switching positions for a better sleep; he was about turn off his table lamp when suddenly he hop off the bed and strolled out of his bedroom. He stood up in front of Kagami's bedroom, he didn't know for how long he stayed there with his hand on the doorknob before he stepped in without knocking. Aomine slowly walked towards the bed noticing Akemi was soundless sleeping in her cradle, he stood by the bed, observing the red-head's breathing pattern. Aomine was about to caress Kagami's red hair when...
"Do you always come to Taiga's room and watch him sleep, you pervy boy?…." Himuro Tatsuya lying besides his younger brother voiced his thoughts, surprising the hell out of Aomine.
The tanned boy was taken aback at the realization that indeed, he visited – too often- the red head at night and not to take care of Akemi's midnight snack but to gaze at Kagami before going back to bed. He never thought it was an odd thing to do, it was just instinct? But he did it every night without fail. Hearing Himuro's voice, wary him of his current situation.
Fuck!
"Aomine, hello?.. hey are you listening? I'm scolding you you know..." Himuro tried hard to whisper, he didn't want his lil bro to know about this peculiar situation, hell, he didn't want him to think about Aomine's midnight visits.
"...and you're still here, of course you are..." The blue-haired said while trying his hardest not to freak out, he needed to get a hold of the situation before it got out of his hands. "-can't you not speak so loud? you're gonna wake them up"
"Ohhh? don't you mean Taiga?
Tsk, this bastard. "Shut up and get out to the living room"
Himuro stared at Aomine with a whimsical look on those pretty eyes before getting out bed and follow the tanned man.
"...so? Why are you still at my home?"
"Nothing special, Taiga begged me to stay for the night since he didn't want to deal with his room-mate!..."
Himuro always has been known to have a good personality, he always was in good terms with everyone, he was a carer. Anyone could said the best things about him without hesitating. In reality no one knew how messed up his personality turned out to be when it came to his little brother, well, the only one aware was Aomine.
Aomine stared. Not only he stared, he had flames in his eyes, flames of anger ready to pulverized something or someone, in this case, Himuro.
"-so? May I know they reason why a barbarian like you visit my Taiga late at night and watch him sleep?"
"No, no man you got it wrong, I was going to wake him up.."
"hmm I don't believe one thing, the look on your eyes wasn't normal."
Aomine stared without saying anything and change the subject.
"and why were you sleeping in his bed when we got such a big couch right here?!" The blue-head slightly patted the couch besides him.
"hmmm jealous much? Mah, actually I was going to sleep in that sofa though, but you know Taiga, he's a softy and offered a place in his warm, warm bed."
Seeing Himuro on Kagami's bed, knowing Kagami offered his bed, imagining many types of situations was messing Aomine's head...
Author's note:
Aomine is having a rough time with Himuro's visit, Kagami is still dealing with that dream and his desperation will cause a confusion.
what would be happening between these two soon?
