Chapter 3: Gold and Yellow

"ping pong pang pong, pong pang pong ping-" the school bell chimed as it indicated that it was already lunch time, kuroko, seated at his desk by the window, took out a small box from his bag and removed the neatly folded blue cloth with paper crane design to reveal a small bento box. He has always brought his own food to school since the cafeteria is always crowded, no matter what school he goes to.

"Ah! You brought your own bento! Lucky! Did you make it yourself?" kagami said while ogling at kuroko's bento box.

"I usually make them myself, but my mom made my food for today, she was pretty excited since it's my first day at a new school." Kuroko replied.

"ii~na, I wish I had time to make my own bento as well, but I usually wake up pretty late, so I don't really have time to prepare it".

Kuroko giggled a little at Kagami's statement.

"Do you not want to ask your mother to cook for you?" He asked.

"nah.. I live alone, my parents are in America"

A little surprised at kagami's reply, and current life style, he became a little more curious about his new found friend.

"So you can cook?" kuroko asked, kagami doesn't look like the type to cook is what he was thinking.

"yeah, but just pretty average stuff, nothing overly fancy or anything, but enough to keep me going" Kagami was pretty confident about his cooking, but not that proud of it or anything, he figured it was pretty basic knowledge.

"If you want, I can make a bento box for you as well, I will be making my own starting tomorrow, and I can make your half as well." kuroko offered to kagami with a small smile on his face.

"Maji de!? Is it really okay!?" Kagami shocked but happy, wanting to confirm if it was really alright for kuroko to make his portion too.

"it's no problem at all, you have been a great help today, and besides, I love cooking." Kurokor assured kagami. "Ayt! I'll take that offer! Thanks!" Kuroko could clearly hear the chirpiness in Kagami's voice as he spoke. He smiled inside and was thankful that so far, his first day of school was going well, better than what he was expecting. He noticed the empty seat beside him since first period, since he sat by the window, he only had 1 seatmate, and the seat's been empty since first period.

"Nee~ who's my seatmate? I noticed it's been empty since this morning, is he/she sick?" kuroko asked kagami.

"Nah~ he aint sick, his name is Kise Ryouta, he's more like a celebrity, he's a famous model and he doesn't come to school everyday since he has gigs from time to time, he's pretty loud and irritating but he's an ayt guy." Kagami replied.

"Oh, well that's good to know, less surprises for me" kuroko was pretty nervous about his seatmate, he had hoped it would be someone like kagami, now that he knows a little about this Kise fella, he seemed more nervous, but relaxed when he remembered Kagami mentioning he was an okay guy.

"I'm gonna go to the cafeteria to get the clubhouse sandwich! Brb kuroko!" Kagami dashed out of the classroom hoping he would still get his hands on his favorite clubhouse sandwich.

Kuroko was left alone at his desk while eating his bento, he took another look at his class schedule when he was interrupted by squealing girls inside the classroom.

"Kise-kun! You came to school today! You're late though!"
"Kise-kun! You look handsome today as well!"

"Kise-kun ! are you free this afternoon? Lets go get cake!"

"Kise-kun!" "Kise-kun!" "Kise-kun!" "Kise-kun!"

The girls were all talking at the same time and were squealing so hard the entire class was looking at them, he couldn't see the person in question, but he saw Kise's golden yellow hair popping out from the crowd, he was tall, "well, he is a model" kuroko thought to himself. He decided to just continue eating while reviewing the class schedule for a few more minutes until a shadow was standing beside him, looking up, surprised, it was Kise Ryouta, his seatmate, looking at him.

"You're a new student huh, I'm Kise Ryouta, nice to meet you!" bright smile, handsome features, beautiful gold eyes, he really was fit to be a model, he was cool, and he seems nice too.

"Kuroko tetsuya desu" kuroko politely replied while bowing his head.

"You don't have to be so formal with me, we're classmates!" chirped kise.

Kuroko smiled to himself again, "Yokkatta, he seems like a nice guy".

"wah! Kise, so you're attending afternoon classes today?" Kagami reappearing inside their classroom with 4 clubhouse sandwiches in his hands.

"Sou! I will be taking less jobs for this month to rest, can't afford to get sick again!" Kuroko watched with interest as the his two new found friends were interacting.

"I see you've met Kuroko!"

"Just now, he's so polite! And adorable!" Kise squealed as he ruffled kuroko's hair while teasing him.

"ARGH! I found him first so I'm his friend!" Kagami argued!

Everything felt so surreal for Kuroko, he never expected he'd make any friends for that year, let alone his first day. He wasn't used to the feeling, but he was happy, thankful too that his two seatmates are his friends, he hoped it would be a good start to a good year for him. He was so worried and was actually dreading the new school since it was a popular school, he thought the students would be difficult to mingle with.

"See! You're making Kuroko upset bakagami!" Kise yelled.

"You're the one upsetting him!" Kagami retorted.

Kuroko then wondered, what kind of face was he making, was he making an irritated face because he was worrying about something?

"uh, no, I'm not upset, on the contrary, I'm very happy and pleased watching the two of you, you seem like good friends" kuroko assuring the two that he was not upset, he didn't want to give them that impression and ruin a good encounter.

"If you say so, but it is a little difficult to read you, but if you do want to express something, say it out loud so everyone won't misunderstand you" kagami lectured Kuroko with a friendly tone, kise nodded in agreement.

"Un! Wakatta, arigatou!" Kuroko replied, with a small smile on his face, before Kagami and Kise could react…

"ping pong pang pong, pong pang pong ping-"

That was the school chime, lunch was over, and the teacher had already entered the classroom. Kise sat comfortably in the seat beside Kuroko and smiled, "Let's get along well this year" and held out a hand to Kuroko.

"Un! Let's get along well!" kuroko grabbed Kise's hand shook it, earning another friend.

Otsu! And that was chapter 3! I was finally able to introduce Kise (who is my personal favorite lol), I was contemplating if I would change the story to a Kise x Kuroko story instead (since I also love that pairing!), but for now, I've decided to stick with AkaxKuro, but I might create a different story for Kise X Kuroko!

Japanese words used in this chapter:

Bento : packed lunch

Iina : lucky you

Maji de : seriously, really

Yokkatta : that's a relief

Sou: Yep! (in this context)

Bakagami: nickname for Kagami, it's a play on the words Baka (stupid), and his name Kagami.
