Kagami crouched down onto the court's ground, catching his breath. "It's getting late, why don't you go home already?" Aomine asked.
Kagami ignored him, "One more round!"
"…I'm too tired for another round and besides it's almost one in the morning. Aren't your parents gonna wonder where you are?" Aomine sighed.
Kagami's eyes wandered a bit, "I don't feel like going home right now" he pouted.
"What are you doing? Running away from home? Are you a kid or something?" Aomine said jokingly. "Would you rather stay at my house? haha"
Kagami silently stood up and went to pick up his bag, "Ya, sure."
Aomine was surprised by the red head's response. He knew something was wrong with Kagami, he was playing like he did back in their first game they played against each other; just flat out reckless. It was no fun like that, but it's not like he expected for him to actually agree. "O-oi! Kagami. You can't be serious. There's no way you'd actually wanna stay at my place"
"Well it's better than being at my place."
Aomine sighed, "Fine, but don't blame me if there's something you don't like"
Kagami sat at the dinner table, staring at the cup of noodles in front of him. He looked up at Aomine, who was already almost finished with his.
"Do you always eat these for dinner?" Kagami asked.
With a full mouth Aomine responded, "Hm, well not all the time. My mom would normally make the meals, but my parent's are on their anniversary trip right now" The blue haired teen then swallowed his food, "What are you complaining now?"
"…No, but you know these are really bad for your health. Do you have any idea how much sodium are in these?!" Kagami said, still not touching his food.
Aomine just stared at Kagami and pointed his chopsticks at him, "I don't think you should be the one to tell me what's healthy and what's not. Kurokos told me about your binge eating at Maji Burger."
Kagami blushed, "B-binge eating?! I'm just hungry that's all! One or two burgers isn't enough to satisfy me!"
"Calm down, I'm just teasing you" Aomine finished his food and got up from the table. "Well, I think it's about time you go home."
"Huh?! I thought I was sleeping over! And isn't it to late for me to go home anyway, it'd be more convenient for me to stay the night." Kagami protested.
Aomine sighed, "Come on, it wasn't like I was serious about you staying the night. Just go home alrea-" Aomine was suddenly cut off.
"I said I didn't wanna go home! What's so wrong with me staying here! I'd rather put up with your annoying bickering than my-" Kagami suddenly stopped midway through his sentence, noticing that he had almost told Aomine about was going on with his dad. Kagami just sat there not making eye contact with Aomine.
This peaked the blue haired teen's interest. To see Kagami so determined to stay away from home was sort of a turn on. …Turn on? Aomine was surprised by what he had just thought. Ya, he thought Kagami was interesting, but potential fap material? Hell no! That's disgusting!
Kagami stared at Aomine, who had a sour look on his face. "A-anyway, just let me stay over, it's more convenient that way". Kagami said.
It took Aomine a while until he processed what Kagami had said, "A-ah, ya I guess that's fine….b-but your sleeping on the couch! And don't even dare going to sleep without taking a bath, I don't want my couch smelling like your gross self". Aomine tried to act cool (or as his usual self) so that Kagami wouldn't ask him about what he was thinking.
"I don't smell that bad…and besides why do I have to sleep on the couch, aren't I the guest here?" Kagami asked while sniffing himself.
"You practically invited yourself. There's no reason to treat you as a guest"
"You have no manners at all" Kagami mumbled to himself.
Aomine heard what Kagami said under his breath, but quite frankly he didn't feel like arguing anymore, "Well if you're complaining about my manners then I guess you can take a bath first, but you have to ready it yourself".
"Well I guess that's fine" Kagami got up from the couch and started to walk in some random direction, "But uh…could you tell me where your bathroom is?". Aomine pointed at the end of hall.
Kagami sat in the tub looking up at the ceiling. Thank goodness Aomine didn't pursue the matter of him not wanting to go home too much, Kagami thought to himself. It's not as though he's against talking about it, but he didn't think Aomine was the person to talk to about it. Kuroko is basically the only person he somewhat feels comfortable with (although he does receive unhelpful advices from him every now and then). Kagami and Aomine didn't speak to each other very often. The only times they'd talk is whenever they bumped into each other, but they would only talk about basketball. Today is actually the first time they've had somewhat of a conversation. Kagami sighed and relaxed himself a bit more, "but I'm more surprised by the fact that I didn't mind staying here" he said under his breath. It's true that it wouldn't be that bad going home, ya his dad may throw a smart remark at him every now and then, but it's not like he couldn't deal with it. The thing is sometimes it's just too much; no matter how much he may grow accustom to his dad, it still hurts every now and then. But the thing that baffled him the most is why his dad is so disgusted by his presence. Isn't it a father's job to cherish his child? What did he do wrong? Why can't his father love him like a normal father should? The thoughts invade Kagami's mind every now and then, and quite frankly they are his true feelings; no matter how many times he may say he hates his father, there's a spot in his heart that loves him and just wants his father to feel the same way. "What are these depressing thoughts?" Kagami said to himself while lifting himself out of the tub. He went to grab a towel, but he remembered Aomine never gave him one…Kagami sighed, "Now what?"
Aomine sat on the couch with the tv on, except his mind wasn't on the tv it was on Kagami's behavior. He wasn't all that different from normal, but Aomine can clearly see the slight shift in his personality. He knew Kagami was hiding something, especially when Kagami snapped at him, telling him he wasn't going to go home. But why? Aomine was so curious, even if he didn't want to care he couldn't help but what to know why. "He was so desperate…" Aomine said. He started to remember the expression Kagami had. The way the red head's eyes burned with determination. He loved that look on Kagami….wait, what? No no no no no no no no, there's no way Aomine felt any attraction towards Kagami, everything is just out of curiosity…ya curiosity. Aomine was trying to get his mind straight, until a wonderful set of boobs on the tv caught his attention. "Yes…..boobs are forever the best…the bigger the better hehe" Aomine started to laugh a bit, "like I'd feel anything for that idiot". Aomine just kept laughing until he heard someone's voice behind him.
"The hell you doing, laughing while there's a set of tits on the tv. I mean I knew you were a pervert but I didn't think it was this bad". Aomine turned around to see Kagami, but was caught off guard to see him wearing nothing except for a small hand towel that barely fit around his hips.
"Who gave you permission to walk around my house like?!" Aomine shouted feeling a little embarrassed to see Kagami's bare body.
"Well I got out of the bath and forgot you never gave me towel so I tried looking for one, but I only found this hand towel. I thought this would be fine, but I would really like a towel, so I'm here asking for one" Kagami explained.
Aomine abruptly got up, grabbed a towel, threw it at Kagami and went straight into his room, closing the door… (Aomine spent the rest of the night looking at pictures of his favorite models).
Kagami stood there confused for a second and turned off the tv. "Well that was surprising" Kagami chuckled. Aomine probably didn't realize it, but he was obviously embarrassed, his face was burning red. Kagami found that a bit cute. Kagami yawned and started to get ready for bed, throwing on a t-shirt and some boxers. Lying on the couch he thought maybe Aomine's company isn't so bad if it meant seeing him all flustered. Kagami felt his eyelids become heavier and he slowly began to fall asleep.
