"I can't believe this" Kuroko said, stunned by the turn of events "You, Kagami Taiga, have been infected by Ryouta-kun! And what's worse you set up your ex with your brother! Who does that?!" at least, the redhead had the decency to blush "Don't you even dare to open that mouth" Tetsuya warned the blond who had open his mouth to protest "This is all your fault!"

"Come on Tetsuyacchi! Himurocchi is very handsome! And kind, funny, a total gentleman. He is the perfect boyfriend material!" Kiss tried to convince his best friend.

"Trying not to feel insulted here" Kagami muttered.

"Ah! Taigacchi you know I didn't mean it like that, I love you!" Ryouta proclaimed, jumping on his boyfriend's arms dramatically.

"Love you too, my Drama Queen" the redhead answered, smile back on his face before kissing him.

Urg! I need to a change of friends. Tetsuya groaned in his head, as the baka couple started to make out heatedly.

When the door bell rang, Kuroko made the decision to go simply to get away from this pair of idiots. He rapidly took his wallet and phone, before heading to the door. For a second a stood stunned at the handsome man in front of him.

How was this Bakagami's brother? He was freaking hot! Tetsuya thought stunned, before regaining his cool.

"Hi, you must be Himuro-kun, Kagami-kun's brother. I am Kuroko Tetsuya, your date for today" he presented himself, allowing himself to smile slightly at the man.

"Nice to meet you" Himuro smiled gently, making Kuroko swoon internally "Should be get going, I've already bough tickets for the aquarium"

The date started good, it started great. Himuro was attentive, always opening the door for Kuroko, holding his hand, he was very well informed about the aquarium and showed Tetsuya an amazing time. Especially with all the embarrassing stories Himuro had of Kagami's childhood. Things started to get weird when they sat for lunch.

Himuro ordered for Kuroko, which was not usual but neither rare. The psychology student let it slide. Then Kagami's brother began scolding him about eating so little, and forced him to finish his plate otherwise they wouldn't get up from the table. That made Kuroko raise an eyebrow but he calked it off as concern about his health. But the the straw that broke the camel was when Himuro grabbed a napkin and cleaned Tetsuya's face. Not in a boyfriend-like manner, but the way mother's do with their kids.

Then Kuroko began to pay more attention to the raven haired man actions. The way he held his hand, was not sweet but in case Tetsuya would run off. He opened the door as if Kuroko was too small to do it on his own. Paying and ordering for tetsuya because Himuro was the one in charge and taking care of the 'kid'.

"Himuro-kun" Kuroko began as they left the aquarium, looking at his seawolf plushy strangely "You are a mother hen, aren't you? You look for a partner to look after"

"I... is it too obvious?" Kagami's brother asked, suddenly looking uncomfortable.

"No... you would only see the signs if you know what you are looking for and where" the psychology student replied "I am sorry, but I can't date you again. I am too independent to let someone baby me. If I am being honest it kind of makes me uncomfortable"

"Sorry" replied Himuro "But we can still continue in contact. I had a great time with you"

"So, did I. Also, I need more of those blackmail materials... sorry, childhood stories of Kagami-kun" Kuroko said, with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Deal" Himuro laughed.

They both exchanged numbers and walked their different ways home.

-Many months later-

This is getting ridiculous. Kuroko grumbled in his head. First I date my boss, then my co-worker, then a mother hen and now a kid! Ryouta-kun does not serve like a matchmaker.

Thankfully many months have passed since his last blind date, but of course Kise could not give up on his quest of finding him the perfect match. Tetsuya was very annoyed with his best friend but he also felt touched. Kuroko knew that the principle reason why Kise was so pawned on having him dating was out of guilt. Which was insane! It wasn't as if Kagami had been the love life of Kuroko. The've only were each other's rebound guy. Kuroko tried to forget Aomine while Taiga tried to get rid of his homesickness. Tetsuya didn't even cry when he found out Kagami had been cheating on him with Kise! Those two were more of friends with benefits than boyfriends.

It took me a while before convincing Kise that I was fine and he could be happy for once and not be afraid of hurting Kuroko. However, it all changed on their second year of college. Tetsuya focused himself on his studies and work, though whenever things got stressful he met up with someone to find relief. Which lead him to two one night stands that never lead to anything but a night of passion. Haizaki-san and Gold-san weren't the best choices in partners, too rough and only caring about their own pleasure. But that was what Kuroko needed at the time.

Thought it did lead Kise to think that this was all his fault and Tetsuya in reality suffered about his break-up with Kagami and he needed someone new in his life. Which lead to all of these blind dates, which Kuroko only accepted because he didn't want his friend to worry so much about him.

But that does not mean I will stand a whole date with a giant who did not stop eating junk food or spoke in complete sentences! Growled Kuroko in his head. This is it! I will call Himuro-kun, he will surely enjoy to babysit this man child.

The next day Kuroko Tetsuya received two text messages:

Thank you Kuroko-kun, I enjoyed the date with Murasakibara~ Himuro-kun.

Thank you, Kuro-chin. Muro-chin is great~ Murasakibara-kun.
