Chapter 13

Aomine groaned as he was yet again forced to push the now heavy shopping cart forward, thinking of how stupid he was for falling for Kagami and Kise's lowly tricks to coerce him to going with them to shop for some household necessities. But then again, Aomine knew there was absolutely no single way he could say no to the two after being subjected to Kagami's pleading look and Kise's hopeful eyes—his two boyfriends knew it was his weakness and would use it anytime they wanted something from him. The tanned male groaned again, realizing just how doomed he was for falling in love with two very dangerous males. But then, after seeing both Kagami and Kise talking animatedly about cucumbers and lettuces, the tanned male's slight frown was easily replaced by a fond smile—something that happens more often now. It was one of the hundred plus sides of their relationship after all. Seeing the blond and the red-head acting all wife-like and such always gives the tanned male the sense of having a real home, a place to belong where he would always be accepted for who he was, no questions asked.

"Oi, Aomine, hurry up." Kagami's voice cut off the tanned male's thoughts. "Let's go buy some sea food."

Aomine was about to complain on how heavy the cart was but the sight of Kagami looking at him with his hands on his hips—it seriously reminded the blue haired male of a busy wife in a hurry to get home to cook for her kids—made all his protests disappear, instead forcing another slightly wider smile upon his lips. "Yeah, yeah, I'm hurrying." And then he pushed the cart forward, forgetting how heavy it was as he moved to stand between Kise and Kagami in front of the fish stall.

"What would you like to eat, Aomine-cchi?" Kise asked, already checking out the various sea foods laid in front of them. "Would you like some crab or perhaps some squid-ssu?"

"What about some lobster?" Aomine said, pointing to the bunch of huge lobsters on the side. "I want those."

Aomine was answered by a hard whack on the back of his head. "Idiot," Kagami glared. "We'll go broke if we buy a lobster. Do you even know how much one lobster costs?"

"Oww, that hurts." Aomine complained, rubbing the back of his head.

"Aomine-cchi, are you alright-ssu?" Kise questioned while blinking, concern evident on the tone of his voice.

"I might have acquired a huge bump on my head." Aomine declared. "Hurry and kiss it better."

Kise's face gained a barely visible pink tint. "Ehh?"

But instead of a kiss, Aomine received another whack on the head, once again, from Kagami. "Shameless bastard," The red head whispered to n one in particular.

"You hit me again!" Aomine exclaimed. "I'm starting to think you like hitting me!"

"I do." Kagami answered monotonously.

"Wha…what?" Aomine turned to Kise, complaining loudly, which then earned them a few strange look from some of the people around them. "Did you hear that, Kise? He totally said it like he doesn't care!"

Another whack, "Stop acting like a kid, Ahomine. You're embarrassing."

"See?" The tanned male moved behind Kise to hide which was funny because he was much taller than the blond. "He did it again!"

The blond could only sweat drop, chuckling uncomfortably.

"Whatever, we can't afford a freaking lobster." Kagami finalized, "Though we might be able to afford some crayfish. It looks like a lobster too, so it should do and make a certain child happy." Then he mumbled, eyes twitching. "Also, it's a little less expensive…but still expensive."

"I'm not a child." Aomine grumbled, pouting childishly. "Right, Kise?"

"You're not a child-ssu." Kise shook his head, and then afterwards added with uncertainty, "…I think?"

"You do realize that doesn't make feel any better at all, right?" Aomine deadpanned.

Kise chuckled nervously, "Sorry-ssu?"

"Anyway, let's go grab some crayfish." Kagami said as he walked to where the crayfishes were, closely followed by the other two.

After a while, the trio was headed to the counter to pay for everything they bought when they passed by what Kagami would refer to as the 'junk food corner'. Aomine's eye easily scanned for his favorite bag of chips and was on the verge of grabbing it when his hand was swatted away. He turned around, expecting to see Kagami but was slightly shocked when he was met by Kise's golden eyes.

"Aomine-cchi, you can't buy those." Kise shook his head. "We don't have budget for that anymore-ssu."

"Ehh? But it's my favorite!" Aomine whined.

"No, Aomine-cchi." Kise answered firmly. "We only have enough money to buy all that we need and Kagami-cchi already computed for everything-ssu."

"Can't we forget all about budgeting?" Aomine pleaded, "Just this once?"

Kise wasn't moved, "Sorry, but we can't-ssu."

"Heh, can't convince Kise, now can you?" Kagami drawled, his blood-red eyes glinting approvingly as he patted Kise's head. "I have thought him well, don't you think so too, Aomine?"

Aomine then realized that he was fighting a losing battle, so with shoulders slumped, he placed the bag of chips down. "Good bye my awesome junk food, I'll just eat you next time." Then he whispered his complaint, "I didn't know Bakagami has a 'how to be a proper housewife program' going on."

Unfortunately, Kagami still picked up what he had said, making a vein pop out of the red-eyed male's forehead. "Kagami…WHACK!"

"Gyah! That's it!" Aomine exclaimed. "That's the fourth time you hit me!"

"I'm surprised you know how to count." Kagami stated.

"Fine!" Aomine shot back, "I, Aomine Daiki, declare an all out war against you, Kagami Taiga!" He declared, pointing some poor celery he grabbed from the cart at Kagami.

"Bring it!" Kagami exclaimed, grabbing the carrot lying innocently in their shopping cart, seemingly forgetting that they were in a public place.

"Uwah! Kagami-cchi! Aomine-cchi! Wait a second!" Kise panicked, but was ignored as his two companions lunged forward to 'attack' each other, starting an all out 'supermarket' war. "We're in a supermarket-ssu!"

In the end, Kise was forced to apologize over and over to the supermarket's owner for the commotion caused by his two companions—he actually had to use his notorious 'puppy-dog eyes' to convince the owner not to ban them from the place—which, fortunately ended well.

Or not…

At least not for Aomine and Kagami, who at the moment were shifting uncomfortably from where they were seated inside the office of the supermarket's owner.

"Now, you two, is there something you wanted to say?" Kise asked in a flat voice, making the other two males wince.

"We're very sorry." Aomine and Kagami apologized softly, shrinking back in their seats as they felt the scary aura radiating from Kise; the blond even dropped the –ssu in his sentence and that itself was enough to let the two know that they are most likely in big trouble.

Kise, all of a sudden, whacked the two males forcefully. "Say it louder." The blond commanded.

The other two complied, apologizing like frightened kids. "We're very sorry. We promise not to do it again."

"Good," Kise nodded in approval, before his golden eyes narrowed. "Because if you do, you'll receive something worse than a whack in the head. Do you both understand?"

"Yes." The other two mumbled, cowering in fear.

"I can't hear you!" The two nearly had a heart attack as Kise's voice grew louder than what they thought possible, in fact, even the supermarket's owner squeaked in fear.

"Yes sir!" Both Aomine and Kagami straightened as they raised the volume of their voice enough for all the occupants of the office to hear, "We understand!"

"That wasn't so hard, now was it?" Kise then smiled widely and somehow, that frightened everyone more. "Now that's settled, let's head home-ssu." Then he turned to the owner, bowing apologetically. "I'm very sorry for the trouble we've caused you, sir. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again-ssu."

The still terrified man shakily waved his hand, "It's perfectly fine. Don't worry about it, boy."

Kise bowed gratefully, "Thank you so much-ssu." Then he turned to his boyfriends, smiling sweetly, which caused the two to have goose bumps. "Let's go home, Aomine-cchi, Kagami-cchi…"

Both males gulped, paling at the sweet smile playing upon Kise's lips and also from the very simple words that had just left the blond's mouth, concluding that Kise is far more terrifying than Aomine's senior officer. And as the blond led the home, actually it's more like dragged them home, a single thought was running on both their minds.

"We're going to die!"

x-o000o-x

When they finally arrived at their house, Kagami and Aomine prepared themselves to bolt inside their room and hide in there for as long as necessary only to be stopped by Kise's firm voice.

"Hold it." Kise begun, "Don't even think about running-ssu." He then moved his hand to point at the couch. "Go and sit over there. We have a lot to talk about."

The two slightly older males couldn't find it in themselves to disobey the blond; they were seriously far too terrified to say and do something anyway. Once seated on the couch, the two males fidgeted, eyes cast on the floor. They never realized that Kise had a side that could rival the most terrifying antagonist they have encountered on books and movie.

"What's gotten in to you-ssu?" Kise straightforwardly asked. "Creating a huge commotion like that and inside a supermarket no less."

"He started it!" The tanned male and the red-head chorused, pointing at each other accusingly.

"I don't care who started it-ssu!" Kise's golden eyes narrowed, "You seriously messed up a lot of things! Have you seen all those bag of chips and packs of candies you've ruined? You should be thankful I managed to get you out of trouble! What would you do if the owner made us pay for all of the things you destroyed? We can't afford that much money-ssu!"

The other two remained silent, ashamed at their actions and at the same time afraid of Kise. They actually wanted to tell the blond that the supermarket's owner let them off without much problem because he was pretty terrified of the blond but decided against it. They knew they have already awakened the sleeping lion inside Kise and none of them wanted to wake up the other lions—the two males were totally convinced that there's a whole pride of lions sleeping within Kise. So throughout Kise's lecture on how it's wrong to start a war inside a supermarket and whatnot, which lasted for two hours, mind you, Aomine and Kagami remained silent.

And it was only when Kise stopped talking that the two managed to find their voices only to apologize sincerely.

Aomine spoke first, "We're really sorry, Kise."

"We never intended to cause you all this trouble." Kagami looked away. "Please don't be mad at us."

Kise let out a sigh, "I'm not exactly mad Kagami-cchi. I'm just worried for both of you-ssu."

"We know," Aomine stated almost in a whisper. "That's why we're sorry."

"Maybe we could make it up to you?" Kagami offered, wanting to really do something for Kise.

Kise seemed to be thinking hard, then he exclaimed. "Let's go on a double date with Takao-cchi and his boyfriend-ssu!"

Kagami smiled, "If that's what you want, then sure, why not?"

"Well, yeah, that's fine." Aomine agreed.

Kise smiled widely, leaping happily to hug both of the males on the couch. "Thank you! Aomine-cchi, Kagami-cchi! I love both of you-ssu!"

"We love you, too." Kagami and Aomine answered at the same time, both smiling fondly, glad that everything was fixed.

Kise then released them. "Well then, I'll cook something now-ssu." The blond then skipped towards the kitchen.

And when Kise disappeared from their line of sight, Aomine looked over at Kagami, shaking his head before he shivered, "We are not making Kise angry again. I seriously thought I'll have a heart attack." He then hugged himself, "You hear me? Never again, Kagami. Never again."

"I agree."

x-o000o-x

So a few days after the supermarket incident, the trio could be found standing in front of the huge gates of a certain amusement park where they were to meet Kise's friend. Aomine and Kagami were watching Kise who was, at the moment, eyeing the colorfully decorated entrance in awe, golden eyes shining with glee like a young child.

"You seem pretty excited." Aomine commented. "Don't tell me it's your first time going to an amusement park."

"Of course not, Aomine-cchi." Kise answered, "It's just that it's always fun to go to amusement parks-ssu!"

Kagami grinned, "Well, it wouldn't be called an 'amusement park' if it isn't fun, would it?"

Kise nodded and was about to answer when his attention was caught by the many balloons that suddenly came out of nowhere. "So cool-ssu!"

The other two males could only sweat drop, realizing that Kise's attention span was really very short and at the same time wondering if they should put a leash or something on the blond in fear of losing him once they were inside. Their thoughts were however, halted when a somewhat familiar voice called them from the distance, making the blond's ears perk up.

"Takao-cchi!" Kise called out loudly, waving excitedly at his best friend and the tall guy with him.

"Kise-chan, hello!" Takao called out just as loudly, dragging his companion to where the trio was standing.

Once the duo reached them, Takao immediately gave his greetings which the others returned with a small hello. Then the black haired male pulled the arm of the tall green haired, green-eyed male he was with, grinning widely. "By the way, this is my boyfriend, Shin-chan."

"It's Midorima Shintarou, not Shin-chan, nanodayo!" Shin-chan, or rather, Midorima Shintarou complained.

"Ehh? But Shin-chan's easier to say." Takao whined.

Meanwhile, Kise was eyeing Midorima intently before a smile broke out from his lips. "I'm Kise Ryouta, this is Aomine-cchi and Kagami-cchi." The blond pointed to each person. "Nice to meet you, Midorima-cchi!"

"Oi, Kise, don't just give other people nicknames the moment you meet them!" Two voices complained from the background. "And you used –cchi too!"

"It's just a nickname, there is no need to be jealous, nanodayo." The green haired male stated as he adjusted his glasses, already knowing the relationship the other three have as Takao had already filled him with all the details before they left to meet the others.

"Who's jealous, you bastard?" Aomine growled while Kagami glared. "Do you want to die?"

"Hey you guys, stop that." Takao said nervously, realizing that Midorima as well as Kagami and Aomine's personalities were already clashing—good thing Kagami was still silent.

"Let's just go inside and have fun-ssu." The blond seconded, worrying that their companions might just start an 'amusement park war'.

"I don't want to go with that bastard." Aomine said, glaring daggers at Midorima.

"As I do not want to waste my time with a child." Midorima stated in a calm manner that further angered the tanned male.

"Like we wanted to spend time with you." Kagami mumbled and both the blond and the black haired male swear dropped. Things are getting a little out of hand now.

"We're here to have fun, aren't we?" Kise asked before bringing his hands together. "Please let's just go inside-ssu?"

Takao did the same, "Please?"

The other three was about to say no but all of their protests and complaints died inside their throat as they were faced by two pouting males with pleading, at the same time, hopeful eyes.

A painfully long pause coupled with a silent self-debate…

"Onegai…" Takao and Kise said at the same time, looking and sounding extremely cute. Defeated, all three simply managed to answer with a small 'fine'. Aomine and Kagami were really powerless against the look Kise was giving them anyway; also, Midorima, despite everything else, is just as powerless when it comes to Takao. As shameless as it is to admit such a fact, the three men knew their boyfriends had them wrapped very tightly around their fingers—may it be consciously or unconsciously. And so, moments later, two happy, and not to mention oblivious, young males could be seen walking and chattering excitedly, more like skipping, happily in front of three other grumbling men who would occasionally throw deadly glares on each other, rather the Aomine-Kagami duo would glare on Midorima and vice versa, every little moment they could.

Aomine, Kagami and Midorima were in the middle of their thirtieth glaring contest when Kise bounced towards them, Takao closely following him which almost immediately stopped the trio's silent competition.

"Ne, ne, let's ride on the roller-coaster-ssu!" Kise announced enthusiastically.

"Come on, it'll be fun!" Takao exclaimed.

"…Sure?" Three slightly uncertain voices answered. And before they could say anything else, they were pulled towards the line leading to the roller-coaster.

"We're riding a roller coaster, a roller coaster, we're riding a roller coaster-ssu!" Kise happily chanted in a singsong voice. "Aren't you excited too, Kagami-cchi, Aomine-cchi?"

"Of course we're excited!" Kagami answered almost instantly, sounding as if he was not paying attention at all. And when Kise continued chanting about roller coasters, Kagami couldn't stop himself from swallowing nervously as he murmured in cold sweat, "We're riding a roller coaster…"

After waiting in line for a good fifteen minutes, it was the group's turn to ride and somehow, Aomine, Midorima and Kagami all wanted to just disappear or run as fast as they could away from the ride of doom, but held their ground if only for the sake of their boyfriends who doesn't seem to be terrified of all those loops and turns the roller coaster was making every now and then—though said boyfriends are terrified of every silly little thing which of course confused the hell out of them.

A few loops and turns later, three young men could be seen lined up in the sink of the comfort room, emptying their stomachs of whatever food they had for breakfast.

"Shin-chan?" Takao asked, rubbing Midorima's back. "Are you alright?"

"Of course, I'm al—" His statement was cut off as he had yet again threw up.

Kagami and Aomine were in no better shape, the two looking as green as Midorima's hair, which of course worried the blond and at the same time making him feel guilty.

"Kagami-cchi, Aomine-cchi, you should have told me you get dizzy that easily." Kise stated softly, using both of his hands to rub soothing circles on his boyfriends' backs. " If you just told me you're uncomfortable on roller coasters, then I shouldn't have suggested it in the first place-ssu."

Kagami washed his face with cool water before answering, "It's completely fine, Kise. You look like you really want to ride the roller coaster so we thought it's alright even if we get nauseous afterwards."

Aomine wiped his mouth as he proceeded to continue where Kagami left off in his explanation. "Besides, we're worried you might get all sad and disappointed if we said we didn't want to try out the rollercoaster."

"We don't want to ruin this day, your day, just because we refused to ride something you wanted to ride." Kagami finished with a small smile.

"Thank you." The blond said softly before adding, "But you know, you don't have to do something that you don't really want just to make me happy. I'll understand it-ssu." He shook his head, "I don't like it when you force yourselves just for my sake."

"It's fine." Aomine grinned, playfully ruffling Kise's hair. "Don't worry about it."

"So, shall we go check out the haunted castle?" Kagami suggested, "I heard that it's their main attraction." The red-head smiled, "You like those kind of things, right Kise?"

"Kagami-cchi!" Kise exclaimed, protesting at the red head's words. "I just said that I don't want you to force yourselves into doing something you don't enjoy just for me-ssu!" Then he whispered softly, "I don't want to have fun anymore if you're not having fun too."

"What are you saying? We're totally having fun!" Aomine assured. "Isn't that right, Kagami?"

"Ahh," The red head nodded. "And as cheesy as it sounds, we're having fun just being with you and seeing you enjoying."

"Besides, have you forgotten who we are?" Aomine asked with an eyebrow raised. "We're tough."

"Tough?" Midorima huffed, "You look like you've gone through hell and back, nanodayo."

"Says the guy who retched more than we did." Kagami shot back.

"Be quiet, nanodayo!" The green-haired male exclaimed indignantly.

"Whatever," Aomine said uncaringly, "Come on Kagami, Kise, let's check out the haunted castle." And the tanned male dragged the two outside the comfort room.

Takao and Midorima followed them soon after, watching the three as they headed towards the haunted castle.

"What crazy people." Midorima suddenly commented, knowing that they were out of ear shot.

Takao grinned, "Maybe, but you've got to admit, Shin-chan, what they did is really sweet. Don't you think so?"

A pause, "Perhaps."

Takao playfully hit the taller male on his arm. "Why can't you just say yes? Seriously Shin-chan, yes is like four letters shorter than perhaps, you know?"

"Hush you." Midorima reprimanded as he tried to shut his boyfriend up with a half-hearted glare.

"But you know, you and them aren't so different." Takao smiled softly and Midorima had to seriously look away. "You don't really like roller coasters and yet you still went with us. Thanks Shin-chan."

"Tch, just stop talking, nanodayo." Midorima said, still looking anywhere but Takao. This action, in turn made the black haired male shake his head fondly.

"Takao-cchi, Midorima-cchi, hurry!" The blond called out and Takao made a move to drag his boyfriend forward.

Once inside the haunted castle, the three mortal enemies were once again bickering about nothing of importance when a headless dummy—which surprisingly looked realistic—suddenly landed in front of them, making them squeak in shock; Kise and Takao on the other hand found the dummy really interesting and were already planning to create something similar. After the headless dummy, they were greeted by other various nightly creatures ranging from fake ghosts and monsters, each one more terrifying than the other. Add the many haunting sound effects and the three taller males were already shaking in fright, suddenly praying for the exit to finally come to view while their other two companions were obviously having fun, especially when they passed the chain-saw guy mutilating some poor completely human-looking dummy. As their journey inside the dark place progressed, Aomine and Kagami begun to unconsciously move closer towards Kise; behind them, Midorima was doing the same, only that he was moving closer to Takao. After what felt like hours, but was actually only thirty minutes, the group finally made it to the exit, stopping the heart attack about to be experienced by the three taller males.

"We're outside, Aomine-cchi, Kagami-cchi." Kise declared, "You can let go of my arms now-ssu."

The two mentioned males immediately released Kise as if they were burned by it. "We're not scared at all." They said in unison.

"I never said anything about you being scared-ssu." Kise smiled teasingly.

"…Oh." Was the only thing the two managed to say as their face gained a pink tint.

"Well, that was fun, ne Shin-chan?" Takao asked, grinning widely as Midorima calmly released his arm as if he wasn't clinging to it so tightly just a while ago. "We should return here sometime."

"Tch, how childish." The green haired male commented, adjusting his eye glasses. "I have no desire to return in a place made by amateurs, nanodayo."

"Why are you such a tsundere Shin-chan?" Takao shook his head, "Is it that hard for you to admit that you don't want to return to the haunted castle because you're too frightened?"

Aomine and Kagami shamelessly laughed at the green haired male.

"Shut up, nanodayo!" Midorima exclaimed, blushing lightly.

x-o000o-x

After their haunted castle experience, the group decided to try out other attractions inside the amusement park such as the giant labyrinth which honestly took them two hours to finish. Afterwards, they also tried out the mirror house where Kagami and Aomine teamed up in making fun of Takao's boyfriend, saying that Midorima looked the same in all the different mirrors. Then they also went to ride on the carousel, bump cars and many more. And when they finally got tired, the group decided to find a place to eat.

"Hey Kise-chan, let's go buy some crepe!" Takao stated, pointing towards the crepe stand.

"Sure!" Kise almost bounced, clearly showing how much he really wanted to eat some crepe. "Let's go-ssu."

"Hey, Shin-chan, we're just going to buy some crepe, behave, okay?" Takao ordered, sounding like a mother telling her child not to do something naughty before he turned to Kise. "Race you there, Kise-chan." And then he headed towards the crepe stand in a mad dash.

"No fair, Takao-cchi!" The blond whined childishly as he run after his friend, "Wait for me-ssu!"

After the two left, Midorima groaned. "How annoying, nanodayo."

Aomine raised an eyebrow. "If you think he's so annoying, then why are you putting up with him?"

"Let me ask you a question," Midorima said instead of answering, "Kise acts exactly like Takao, sometimes even more childishly, now tell me, why are you with him?"

"That's stupid," Aomine scoffed. "Isn't the reason obvious?"

"It's because we love him." Kagami was the one who voiced the answer.

"Then you have my answer, nanodayo." Midori stated

"What a tsundere." Aomine smirked, "Why can't you just admit that you find your boyfriend's annoyingness endearing?"

It was Midorima's turn to raise an eyebrow, and both Kagami and Aomine thought he was going to retort, but were surprised when the green-haired male spoke. "I put up with Takao for the same reason you're with Kise."

At that, the other two realized that despite their clashing personalities, the three of them were not so different after all.

"We're the same then." Kagami was the one who voiced out their thoughts.

"Per—" Midorima was about to say, but changed his mind, "Yes."

A pleasant silence then settled between the three, broken only when Kise and Takao returned carrying crepes for everyone and something else.

"Kise-chan won tickets for the Ferris wheel!" Takao announced happily while Kise boastfully waved the tickets in his hand.

"Whoa! Cool!" Aomine exclaimed.

Kagami nodded with a smile, "You're pretty lucky today, Kise."

"If he's a Gemini then I wouldn't be so surprised, nanodayo." Midorima agreed and the others, excluding Takao, just looked at him weirdly.

"Anyway, I was told that the Ferris wheel ride would be available at six, so we should probably go wait in the line now-ssu." Kise suggested which was of course agreed by everyone.

However, due to the number of people wanting to ride the Ferris wheel, it took quite long for the group to get their ride—Midorima and Takao on one car and the rest on another—in fact they were part of the last few people to ride it since it was nearing the amusement park's closing time. The wait was worth it though—the amazing experience while inside the Ferris wheel would eventually make up for it. The cars where huge, that much they could say since they can stand inside without bumping their heads and they weren't cramped up either, plus the walls and floors were made of glass so you could see everything, it was air-conditioned too. Such a thing would undoubtedly awe everyone riding it.

x-o000o-x

Inside car one, Midorima and Takao were seated peacefully, the black haired male resting his head on top of Midorima's shoulder, surprised that Midorima was letting him—the green haired male had seemingly dropped his tsundere-ness.

"This is nice, Shin-chan." Takao said softly. "We should do this again sometime, when you're not so busy."

"We should," Midorima agreed. "Just tell me when you wanted to go out, and I'll cancel whatever stuff I have to do."

"You'll do that?" Takao asked, sounding genuinely surprised.

"Yeah, sure, why not?" The green haired male inquired. "You don't want me to?"

"Ehh? It's not that." Takao answered, "I'm just surprised, is all."

Then silence…

"Why are you looking at me so weirdly, nanodayo?" Midorima's uncomfortable voice broke said silence.

"Shin-chan…" Takao began slowly, "You're not replaced by an alien, aren't you?"

"What are you talking about, nanodayo?" Midorima asked with furrowed brows.

"Well, you're not acting all tsundere." Takao shrugged, "I'm worried."

The green-haired male's eyes twitched in mild irritation, "Don't ruin the moment, idiot!"

x-o000o-x

Meanwhile…

Inside the car where Kise and his boyfriends were in…

"I really had fun today," Kise said, golden eyes shining with joy. "Thank you-ssu!"

"There's no need to thank us." Kagami stated, "We had fun too, you know?"

"And that's because of me-ssu?" The blond asked, his voice soft.

Aomine nodded, "That's right, it's really nice spending time with you."

Kise was about to say something else when a red streak of light colored the sky before bursting into million little sparks, followed by a blue one, and surprisingly, a yellow one. Each loud boom from the fireworks were followed by other different colors, the small sparks illuminating the whole velvet black sky. Awed from seeing fireworks color the once dark sky, Kise stood up, walking over towards one of the glass walls to watch the exploding colors more closely; pressing his hands on the cool glass wall.

"Look! Kagami-cchi, Aomine-cchi!" Kise exclaimed in amazement, "There are a lot of fireworks-ssu!"

Too busy looking at the fireworks, the blond failed to realize his two companions walking over to him, taking up the spot on each side of him. As such, Kise was fairly surprised when two warm hands covered both his hands that were pressed on the glass. Blinking, Kise looked up to his right then to his left where Aomine and Kagami were standing—his boyfriends had soft smiles present upon their lips, their eyes trained on the fireworks whose many different colored lights were being reflected on both their faces— before his eyes traveled to his hands which were being held by both men.

"Kise, it's beautiful isn't it?" Kagami asked softly, his eyes on the sight displayed in front of them.

"Yeah," Kise whispered, "It's beautiful-ssu." The blond was however, not really referring to the fireworks, but to their linked hands. "Really beautiful."

But then…

"I know this will ruin the moment, but something's been bothering me for quite a while now." Aomine began hesitantly as he sheepishly scratched the back of his head with the hand that wasn't holding Kise's. "I just want to know, why the hell is Midorima carrying a figurine of a pink monkey?"

A/N: Way to ruin a lovey-dovey moment Ahomine. Ahh well, this is probably the longest—and the hardest—chapter I've ever written. (I'm not writing a double date ever again). And oh, lookie, Midorima made a guest appearance! Also, it's amusing that Kise is the one keeping Aomine and Kagami in check *laughs*.

Well then good night! (…err is it morning in where you guys live?)
