"So what do you wanna see?" Aomine asked while scanning through the movies that were showing.

"Hm…anything's fine" Kagami said uninterested.

Aomine glanced over at the red head, who was looking over at something. Curious, Aomine turned his head the same direction as Kagami's. The blunet's eyes widened when he saw what Kagami was so fixated in. There was a family; a father, mother and their son. They too were also choosing a movie to watch. However, they all looked happy together; the complete opposite of Kagami at the moment. Kagami had a pained expression, almost as if he longed for such a feeling; almost as if he wished for a family like that.

Getting tired of the depressing atmosphere, Aomine took his arm and wrapped around Kagami's neck, pulling him closer, forcing him to look at the movie showings.

"O-Oi!" Kagami exclaimed. "W-What are you doing?!"

Aomine glanced at him for a second before averting his attention back to the movie showings. "You weren't paying attention to me, so I had to get your attention…" He paused for a second, "What do you wanna see? There has to be something you're interested in…Oh! What about Star Wars? Everyone likes Star Wars".

Kagami kept quiet.

"Wait…don't tell me you've never seen Star Wars?!" Aomine said shocked.

"…I haven't really had much of an interest in it, so I've never bothered watching it"

Aomine just stared at him in disbelief.

"Is it really that surprising?" Kagami asked, beginning to feel uncomfortable with the blunet's stares.

"Of course it is!" Aomine ruffled his hair, "Ah man...We're gonna see Star Wars whether you like it or not". The blunet proclaimed as he grabbed hold of Kagami's hand.

"O-Oi, my hand!" Kagami blushed.

"Hm? It's not a problem, anyway hurry up, there's a showing in a few minutes, I don't wanna miss it." He said as he dragged the red head into the theater.


After buying their tickets and popcorn, one for each of them of course, they grabbed a seat near the back of the theater.

"It's been so long since I've gone to the movies" Aomine said as he flopped onto his seat.

"Yeah" Kagami agreed.

Aomine turned his attention further at the red head and squinted his eyes, "You're not very talkative today".

Kagami blushed, "I just don't have anything to talk about".

"Just say anything that comes to mind".

"Like I said, I just don't know"

Okay~ If that's what you say~" The blunet teased.

"What's that supp—"

"Shh! The movie's about to start" Aomine interrupted, his voice containing a little laughter.

The lights of the theater dimmed and the movie began.


"Wahhh~! That was so cool!" Aomine shouted, unable to contain his excitement.

"You're such a kid" Kagami said under his breathe.

"Huh?! What is that supposed to mean?! Are you telling me none of that amazed you?!"

"It was fine I guess. I just didn't really get it"

Aomine stared at him, unable to believe Kagami's words, but after a few seconds, he calmed down. "Well then, next time, we'll watch something you wanna watch".

"That's fine, as long as you're the one paying" The red head chuckled.

"Tsk. You're so cheap"

Kagami let out a small smile "I'll pay for food, so it's fine"

"Food is the only thing you'll pay for!"

"…Well food is worth it"

Aomine sighed, "You're unbelievable"

"…Should we head home now?"

"Hm? Why?"

Kagami pointed up at the dark cloudy sky, "Well it looks like it'll rain soon and neither of us brought an umbrella"

"Okay, but how bout we go get some food first?" The blunet suggested.

"Sure, where should we go?"

"Well I'm caving pasta"

"That's fine with me, but I don't know where a pasta place is"

"There's one further downtown" Aomine said, already beginning to walk in the direction of the restaurant.


"…I thought you knew where you were going" Kagami said, a bit irritated.

"Well I thought it was around here"

The two stood underneath the small roofing, hanging from the side of the building, watching the heavy rain fall from the sky.

"Doesn't this feel familiar though" Aomine chuckled.

"Yeah…"

"Doesn't look like the rain will let up anytime soon"

"We should just go home. There's some food, so I can just whip up something really quick"

"Okay, I'll call a taxi real quick" The blunet said while pulling his phone out and dialing the number for the taxi.

As Aomine spoke on the phone, Kagami watched the people walking in the rain. 'Were we the only ones who didn't know it was gonna rain?' he asked himself, noticing that everyone had umbrellas. He continued to watch the people walk back and forth; that is until his eyes caught sight of something that felt oh so familiar.

Long red hair flashed before his eyes. A woman, who was tall and slim, walked past him. Kagami's eyes followed the woman; it took him a second before he was able to react.

"M-Mom?" The red head said in disbelief, taking a step forward. "No way, she's here?" Kagami continued, unable to gather his thoughts. However, without even thinking about it, he unconsciously began to follow the woman.

Aomine noticed Kagami step out into the rain, "Oi, Kagami! What are you doing?"

Kagami just continued to walk further away while ignoring Aomine.

"Kagami?" The blunet asked, concerned about Kagami's behavior.

"Hello? Sir?" The girl on the phone spoke.

"Ah!" he forgot he was on the phone. "U-Uh….I won't be needing a taxi anymore. Sorry" He immediately hung up and looked towards the direction Kagami went. However, when he looked, the red head was nowhere to be found. 'Shit' he cursed to himself, 'He couldn't have gotten that far'. The blunet began to walk in the same direction as where he saw the red head wander off to.


Kagami continued to follow the woman, but she seemed to be getting further and further away. He began to pick up his pace, closing the distance between them. When he was close enough, he grabbed hold of her arm, "M-Mom!"

The woman turned around startled. "U-Um…" She said nervous.

Shocked, Kagami released her. 'The hair is the same, but the face is different' "I'm sorry…I seemed to have mistaken you for someone else"

"N-No, it's okay." The woman observed Kagami, "Do I look like your mother?"

Surprised by her question, the red head backed away from her, "Uh…Yeah…Your hair is similar"

She grabbed a piece of her hair and looked at it, "My hair huh?"

"Yeah…"

"Are you looking for your mother? You seemed a bit desperate when you grabbed me earlier"

"Huh? …not particularly, I just haven't seen her in a while"

"I see" She dug through her purse and pulled out a small piece of candy, "Here, you can have this, I would like to give you an umbrella, but I don't have an extra and I need to leave now. Make sure you return home properly okay?" She said patting his shoulder, while slipping the candy in his hand.

Kagami held onto the candy, "Thank you"

The woman waved goodbye and he only smiled back at her. Once she was gone, he opened up his hand and looked down at the candy. He was shocked to see what kind of candy it was. It was a cherry flavored Jolly Rancher. 'Was this just a coincidence?' he thought to himself.


10 years ago

"Mom~!" The young boy yelled.

"Hm?" A woman with long wavy red hair turned around.

The boy approached her excitedly, "You won't believe what just happened!"

"What happene-! Taiga! What did you do to your eyebrows?!"

The boy touched his eyebrows, "That's what I was about tell you. There was a kid at the park and he said that if you cut your eyebrows, you'll be happy for the rest of your life."

The woman sighed, "And you just believed him?"

"Yeah!"

She kneeled down and held her son, "You know, you don't need to cut your eyebrows to be happy"

"Huh? Really? How do I do that then?"

She pulled her son into a tight hug.

"M-Mom~ You're squeezing to hard!" The boy said trying to free himself from her grip.

"Sorry sorry," she chuckled, "As long as we're all together, you'll always be happy"

The boy looked at his mom with big glistening his eyes, "Really?!"

"Yes really…oh!" She pulled something out of her pocket and placed it in the boy's hand. "Don't tell your father. You know he doesn't like it when you eat candy before dinner"

The boy opened his hand; it was a cherry Jolly Rancher. "Thanks mom! I'll be sure to treasure it!" he said while popping it in his mouth.

"That's a good boy" she smiled at him. "Now let's head home" She grabbed hold of the boy's small hand and led him home.


"As long as we're together huh?" Kagami whispered. "Why are we all separated now then? Was I never meant to be happy?"

Kagami stood still, the rain continuing to fall on top of him. He felt something wet roll down his face; was it his tears or was it just the rain. 'I can't tell' he thought to himself. His body felt weak, his legs began to buckle, causing him to fall onto the ground. 'Why does it always come to this?'


Aomine turned the corner and found Kagami sitting lifelessly on the ground.

"Kagami!" he called out to him while running towards him.

The red head didn't look at him nor did he say anything. Aomine began to worry.

"O-Oi, Kagami? Are you okay?"

The red head didn't reply.

"Let's head home, okay?" The blunet helped bring Kagami back on his feet. "You don't have to worry about dinner, okay? I'll try to make us some sandwiches, but I can't guarantee that they'll taste good" he tried to laugh, but his face refused to smile.

Aomine was able to call over a taxi. The two sat quietly all the way home.


"Kagami, make sure you change your clothes. I don't want you catching a cold or anything" The blunet said, placing a towel on Kagami's head.

The two were in Kagami's room, since it just made everything easier. Since Aomine had to change the red head's clothes, he didn't have to go too far.

"…Why are you being so nice? Why are you always being so nice?" Kagami said quietly. So quiet that Aomine could've missed what he said. However, the blunet was shocked to hear Kagami speak.

"What was that?" Aomine grabbed the red head by the shoulders, "Did you wanna talk about something?"

"Why don't you just leave me alone?"

"Huh? Why in the world would I leave you alone?"

Kagami's voice started to quiver, "Everyone has left. I've been left alone…"

"But I'm here aren't I?"

"…You'll eventually leave like everyone else"

"I won't leave!" Aomine shouted while abruptly standing up, surprising Kagami. "I decided to stay here! I decided to be here with you!"

"…You're just lying"

Aomine began to get frustrated. "Why don't you understand?! I-"

Kagami looked up, noticing that the blunet suddenly stopped talking.

'So this is what I've felt all along. This isn't just simply watching out for a friend, this must be…'

"Aomine?"

The blunet looked Kagami in the eye and drew his face in closer, "I love you"

Kagami's eyes widened, "Y-You're lying. When you k-kissed me…you said it was nothing"

"That's cuz I was too stupid to understand what I was feeling. But I understand now" Aomine moved his face closer.

Kagami tried to back away, but he couldn't, "Y-You…" Tears began to run down his face, "There's nothing to like about me…I can't do anything right. How can you love me when my own parents don't even love me…I just don't understand"

Aomine's face was close enough that the red head could feel his breathe. "I don't care about those things. You're fine just the way you are. No one's ever had such an influence on me. I mean, you changed me. You never gave up on me. You and Tetsu both. Spending time with you has made me realize how much I can't live without you. Kagami, I want you to believe me. I can't stand watching you hurt yourself any further."

"B-But…" Kagami hesitated, but before he was able to even collect his thoughts, Aomine pulled him into a kiss.

"A-Aomine…"

The blunet opened his eyes, looking at Kagami's expression. Kagami's face was beat red, his eyebrows furrowed together, not sure on what to do.

'He's so cute' Aomine thought while sliding his tongue deeper into the red head's mouth.

"Mm!" Kagami jolted when he felt a cold hand slip under his shirt.

"S-Sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to control myself" the blunet panted, pulling Kagami's shirt off. "I wanna convey my feelings for you"

Kagami looked up at Aomine. He felt nervous, but Aomine looked much more nervous than him. "O-Okay"

Aomine smiled, "Thank you…" The blunet placed a kiss on Kagami's forehead before removing his own clothes.

After removing his clothes, Aomine looked down at the red head's pants. "Um…I'm gonna remove these now…" he blushed.

"You don't have to narrate everything. It makes it embarrassing" Kagami blushed.

"Ah…okay" Aomine blushed.

The blunet carefully removed Kagami's pants, his hands shaking from nervousness. He then proceeded to remove the red head's boxers. Upon removing them, Kagami's dick sprung up, eagerly wanting attention.

"I haven't even done anything and you're so hard" Aomine chuckled, flicking Kagami's dick.

"Well you're no better" Kagami said, looking at Aomine's member.

"Shut up" the blunet began to suck on Kagami's neck. He wrapped his hand around Kagami's member, slowly moving his hand up and down.

Kagami jolted from the sudden pressure around his cock. 'Is this really happening?' the red head thought to himself. 'I'm not too sure yet, if I feel the same way Aomine does…but to have someone say they love me….it's a new experience for me. I'm not even sure if I still believe it…'

"…Does it not feel good?" Aomine said discouraged, removing his hand from the red head's dick.

"Huh?" The red head immediately noticed the loss of contact down there. "N-no…it's not that. It's just...this is new to me. I mean it's not bad or anything. I guess I'm just kinda curious on how this'll go"

'Curious…' Aomine stared down at Kagami for a while until he lifted himself off the bed. "How bout we do this another time?" he explained.

"Huh? Why? Did I say something wrong? I thought you said you loved me?" The red head frantically said, grabbing onto Aomine's arm.

"Of course I love you! And you didn't say anything wrong. I just feel like you're not ready yet"

"Well if that's the case, then why? You like me, and I feel totally fine about it. I don't see the issue."

The blunet sighed, "You just don't get it."

"Get what?"

"Do you like me?" Aomine asked.

"Yeah, I'm beginning to enjoy being around you and you've looked out for me a bit…"

"But do you love me?"

Kagami paused, surprised by the blunet's question. "Well…that…I don't really know"

"I don't wanna do this until you come to love me." Aomine explained. 'Wow that was cheesy' he cringed.

The red head released Aomine's arm, "I understand"

"But this doesn't mean that I don't like you, okay?" Aomine said, worried that Kagami may feel dejected.

"I get it, I get it" Kagami said as he began to put his clothes back on.

"Sorry~" Aomine chuckled as he placed a kiss on the red head's forehead. "Don't worry though, I'll be sure to make you fall in love with me"

Kagami blushed and pushed the blunet away. "Don't be so full of yourself!"

Aomine just laughed as he left Kagami's room. But before exiting completely, he decided to tease him a bit more. "Goodnight Kagami~ Make sure you don't think too much about me~"

"Aho!" Kagami threw his shirt at the blunet as the door shut.

Kagami sat on his bed for a bit, but then he remembered something. "Didn't he say he'd make us something to eat…" the red head sighed. He pulled a bag of dried mangoes from his dresser, "I'll just eat these"


The two laid in their beds, thinking about the events that happened today. Both felt as though something was about to begin. While wondering on what to do next, the two wandered off to sleep.
