The lucky item for your love confession

.

From: Midorima

Aries has the highest place today.
Gemini, on the other hand, has the lowest. It must be a sign that unfortunately he reciprocates your feelings.

"Eh?! What do you mean 'unfortunately'?!"

Passers-by walking beside him turned away with wary, warning glances at his sudden exclamation. In another circumstance, Aomine might have been embarrassed, but right now all he was paying attention to was the phone in his hand that he was holding tighter than necessary.

Your lucky item is a ball of wool.
Considering your ease with messing things up, I'd advise bringing one with you.

Aomine pondered throwing his phone on the ground for a few seconds, but with a deep sigh, he gave up, finally putting it away and continuing on his way; Kise's house wasn't far, he couldn't be distracted by nonsense, no matter how much he wanted to.

He feared any distraction would kill the momentary courage he felt and had worked so hard to muster.

It was ridiculous, all this. He felt his cheeks heat up just thinking about what he was about to do, and a part of him kept screaming at him to turn around and walk away as fast as possible, like a fucking coward, like he was scared of Kise.

Kise.

How could he be afraid of Kise? The only thing he felt for the blonde was the desire to protect him, to hug him, to say nice things to him until he was embarrassed enough not to know how to respond, to kiss him and-

Okay.

It had taken Bakagami's taunts, Tetsu's indifferent but know-it-all look, and Satsuki's indiscreet laughter for Aomine to finally admit that yes, he had more than friendly feelings for Kise. It had taken a challenge from stupid Bakagami, an encouraging smile from Tetsu, and the always enthusiastic but embarrassing encouragement from Satsuki for Aomine to decide to do something about it.

Aomine hates those three. What he hoped would be a secret between the four of them -at least until Kise agreed to be his boyfriend (because of course he would accept, not matter what that little voice in the back of his too insecure mind said)- had ended up being the business of the entire fucking Generation of Miracles.

Akashi had called him on the phone, giving his blessings but warning him of the consequences of hurting the blonde (and what the hell, since when was Akashi and Kise that close). And on the other hand Midorima kept sending him good luck messages while insulting him. Murasakibara seemed to think that the best way to conquer Kise was through his stomach, if the messages from the different stores specializing in the blonde's favorite sweets meant anything.

Aomine hates them all. But despite this, he can't help but feel a certain comfort in having his former captain's blessing, and perhaps not now, however he knows that later he will use Murasakibara's messages, in addition to the fact that, despite how embarrassing it is, he definitely bought balls of colored yarn.

(He bought two. At first it had only been one, yellow because of course it would be yellow, but that ball of yarn looked small, lonely, seeing it like that annoyed him. So he thought "fuck it", and bought one more in blue.

They looked good together.

That should double his luck, right?)

Finally, after unjustified turns and stops, Ryōta's house is right in front of him. Aomine feels his legs shake, his heart race, and damn, he's blushing; this doesn't look like a good idea, he should probably turn around and walk away as fast as possible, what was he thinking, he can't confess his feelings to Kise, maybe if he hurry up and come back now Kagami would be willing to play for a bit and he could get distracted and–

He rings the doorbell, because he is not a coward and he is not afraid of Kise.

Also Midorima said that today is his lucky day, and he bought two damn balls of yarn that won't work another day, and maybe he doesn't believe in such nonsense too much, but wasting his luck feels like stupid.

When the door starts to open, faster than he'd like, Aomine is unprepared. He has no idea what he's going to say, he's never been good with words, and this is supposed to be romantic, right? He should have planned this better.

"Eeeeh? Aominecchi?" Kise appears from the other side of the door, surprised but with a huge smile, and damn it, Daiki can't help but get upset because Kise, the jerk, looks amazing as always, and that smile is doing weird things to him, which is completely unfair. "Aominecchi! How are you? What a surprise that you came! Come in."

It would be easy, he thinks, to fall into idle, meaningless talk. He could walk into Kise's home, forget about any confession, throw himself on the living room couch and play video games with his friend all afternoon; they could watch a movie, make fun of each other and order a pizza, but Aomine can't help but think that that would be the path of the coward.

He grabs Kise's arm, stopping him from going into the house. He feels his cheeks heat up at the model's curious gaze.

He wants to end all this, he wants to kiss the idiot and-, fuck it. Too many words are unnecessary, it is better to be direct.

"I love you, idiot."

Maybe not the best way to confess, but hey, at least Kise's face looks amazing all flushed.
