Kise was grinning from ear to ear today during training, and the other Miracles, for the life of them, couldn't find out why.
"Did your fangirls stop bothering you today?"
"Nope, Akashicchi!"
"Did you get a new flavor of Maiubo?"
"I'm not you, Murasakibaracchi!"
"Those reporters let off on you?"
Akashi rose an eyebrow.
"What reporters?"
Suddenly reminded of the event and how horrifying it had been to them, the two Miracles who knew about the uproar about Kise in a dress shivered.
Akashi let off on them, sighing.
Kuroko decided to guess what was making Kise annoyingly... Well, smiley-faced, today. Even more so than usual.
"... Is it about Lily?"
Kise's grin grew wider, and the Miracles took that as their cue.
It's Lily.
Akashi was the first to interrogate Kise.
"What did she do?"
"I'm officially her daddy! She called me-"
A shadow came over Akashi's face.
"Training doubled."
Tears poured down from Kise's face, though the grin was still there.
"-You didn't even let me finish! She called me daddy! I'm her new daddy now!"
"... Training quadrupled."
There was a silence.
Suddenly, Kise's tears stopped and his grin took on a mischievous appearance.
Midorima sighed.
"Whatever farce you have come up with, I don't want to hear it."
"It's not a farce, Midorimacchi! I've figured it out! Akashicchi's jealous of my relationship with Lily!"
Crimson eyes flared.
"He's jealous~ he's jealous~ Akashicchi's jealous~"
"All of Kise's training, times 32."
Finally, Kise's grin disappeared, replaced with a scandalized look.
"AKASHICCHI!"
Akashi's tone was low.
"You better go before your training is multiplied by 64."
"Yes-ssu."
With a defeated pout, Kise took off running.
The training finished and Lily picked up, Kise was working on a word search.
He noticed that Lily was looking bored.
"Wanna try a word search, Lily?"
Lily turned to him and nodded, curious.
"I can't find "playground". Can you help me find it?"
"Sure!"
Lily sat beside him on the floor, leaning over, her eyes scanning the paper.
A few minutes later, Lily hadn't found it.
Kise's eyes sparkled.
"Need some help?"
"Nope!"
30 minutes later, she was still looking.
Kise's eyes sparkled again.
"Lily-"
Suddenly, she smiled.
"Found it!"
Kise blinked.
"Really?"
"Playground" was actually in there?
Curious, Kise glanced over and sweat dropped.
The word "playground" was crudely scribbled and circled, added in the word search.
The letters didn't even match with the lines, and were obviously done in pencil.
Well, this was what he got for asking for a word not in the word search.
... Next, he decided to have her do a puzzle.
He arranged a puzzle so there was one piece left, but it didn't fit.
"Try this!"
Lily picked up the piece and tried to fit it.
It didn't.
He patiently waited for her to ask for help, the entire space around him sparkling.
Grossed out, Aomine, who had been in the same room as them, promptly moved to another room.
Kise did not get what he wanted.
Instead of asking for help, Lily simply punched off the part that kept it from fitting and placed it in the puzzle, completing it.
She turned and smiled at him innocently.
"Done!"
... Looks like she was somebody who didn't mind bending rules to get what she wanted instead of asking for help.
Nevertheless, he kept on trying.
"I can't fit this necklace onto the teddy bear!"
She ripped off the head.
(Rest in peace, Mr. Teddy Bear. We will always remember you.)
"There. Put it back in when you're done!"
...
...
... He was done.
He was done, alright.
Kise sobbed in a corner.
"Why are you crying, Ryo-nii? Do you need some help again?"
I need some help, he thought. I need you to help me by asking for help.
