Chapter 29: Start Again
"Alex?!"
Alexandra Garcia is an American model, if Kagami Taiga would describe her existence to Kagami's life it would simply be…a royal pain in the ass. Kagami met Alex when the blonde model brought the apartment next to Kagami's house back in America. She would often went to Kagami's house to ask for random things—salt, newspaper, a bottle of milk, can opener, and the list goes on. Kagami has no idea how in the world Alex started hanging around his apartment too.
Kagami stares at Alex who is currently grinning at him, her long blonde hair cascades down her back.
"You've grown up Taiga!" Alex says before running up and wrapping the red head in a tight not so friendly embrace. "I missed you!"
Kagami tries to wiggle out of the blonde's hold knowing what is coming up next but unfortunately she was late. Alex pulls away for a bit before kissing Kagami in his lips. The red head's eyes widen at the gesture.
"Looks like we will have no problem filming the scenes, huh." Aida says making Kagami push Alex away.
"No!" Kagami says, "Anyone else but Alex!"
"You wound me Taiga." Alex says with sarcasm as she puts a hand on her hips.
"Yes, that's quite unbecoming for a gentleman to refuse a lady, Kagami-kun."
Kagami feels shiver run up in his spine hearing Kuroko's cold and monotonous voice dragging the syllables of his name. Cold sweat starts to slip in the side of Kagami's head as he turns to look at Kuroko. The teal haired musician steps in holding what seems like a plush toy in his arms.
The teal haired musician bows his head politely at Alex in greetings.
"Ah!" Alex gasps, "I-I didn't notice—"
Kuroko shakes his head, "It's alright."
"This is one of the members of Hikari no Ou." Aida says gesturing to Kuroko, "He's Kuroko Tetsuya."
"Ah, yes, wow you're much youthful in personal!" Alex says.
The blonde model reaches towards Kuroko but as soon as Kagami notices this, he grabs Alex hand and pulls her towards himself.
"Enough playing around Alex!"
Alex raises an eyebrow at Kagami before turning towards Kuroko. How interesting.
"Okay, let's not waste time." Aida says in agreement, "We have only a few hours to finish, okay?"
.
.
.
"You should just say if you're not okay."
Kuroko turns around and finds Alex standing there by the door of the room wearing a very thin white sleeves shirt, her black underwear could be seen through it. Kuroko tilts his head to the side.
Alex turns her head to search if Kagami is anywhere near, when she doesn't see the red head she turns again at Kuroko with a hand on her hips.
"You should really speak your mind more often." Alex says.
"I think I'm frank enough." Kuroko says quietly as he looks away.
"Oh really?" Alex says with a raised eyebrow, "Then is it alright if Taiga and…"
"Why shouldn't it be?"
Alex smirks staring at Kuroko's stoic face. His face seems well trained to show a nonchalant expression but his eyes, they are much different. He is insecure, frightened and anxious deep in those bright blue eyes.
"Alright. Just asking." Alex says before shrugging.
Kuroko watches as Alex marches towards Kagami who is talking with Aida and the director. The blonde woman sneaks her arms around Kagami's waist and puts her head against the red head's shoulder. Kagami doesn't pushes Alex away and just listens to the director.
Kuroko had been with thousand people, he had worked with thousand males and females. He has watched intimates scenes filmed before him—more than once but he has never felt so uncomfortable. Kuroko tries to turn his head away but every second Alex moves closer to Kagami he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest, his hands clenching into a fist.
"Okay we'll start."
Kuroko hears the director says. He bravely turns his head towards the bedroom connected to the hallway where he stood with the rest of the staff.
They dimmed the lights and drew the curtains a bit, the camera is angled against the light to capture the shadow and the movement giving it more dramatic effects. Alex climbs up on the bed wearing only her thin sleeveless shirt and tight short that rides up her pale white legs. Kagami soon follows, he is wearing a thin white polo shirt that's unbuttoned exposing his physique and a pair of tight black jeans.
"Lights, camera, action!"
Kuroko swallows a lump in his throat as Alex starts to move towards Kagami in the bed, she's slow, her eyes never left Kagami's. She starts to touch his leg with her long and slender fingers while her other hand starts to peel Kagami's shirt. Kuroko could feel his nails digging in his palm as Kagami's hand slides in the curve of Alex's waist. Alex straddles in Kagami's lap and starts to completely remove the other's shirt before dipping for a kiss.
Kuroko shuts his eyes and turns away.
"Kuroko-kun?" A staff whispers as he notices Kuroko's reaction, "Are you feeling unwell?"
He should have been alright, Kuroko agreed to it when they spoke about the music video with their director. He has told and imagined the scene in his head to prepare himself. He thought it was alright, this is something they have to do. But he couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach. He wants to run there and pull Kagami away from Alex.
How come Kagami seems so natural, so comfortable with this set up?
"I-I'm fine." Kuroko replies quietly before turning back to the scene.
"Lift Alex up, Kagami-san."
Kagami moves out of the bed and Alex follows, Alex wraps her arms around Kagami. He puts his muscular arms under Alex's thighs to hoist her up.
"Now as Alex nuzzles your neck, start to raise her shirt above her head."
Kagami doesn't ask question, he cranes his neck to the side and allows Alex to nuzzle him there. He starts to lift up her shirt over her head. When Alex is left with only her dark underwear, she takes her shirt from Kagami and threw it to the bed without taking her eyes of the other.
She smirks before putting touching Kagami's lips with his fingers and leaning down for a kiss. Kagami's eyes widen but he doesn't move, if he pushes Alex away she would definitely fall down and get hurt, however he's very sure this is not a part of the original skit.
"Alex, stop." Kagami says as the blonde pulls away a bit.
"Why?" Alex says before kissing Kagami's ear, her hands sneaks to the red head's hair.
"You know why." Kagami whispers.
"Do I?"
Alex pulls away and pushes Kagami's head towards his neck. The blonde felt Kagami's hold in her waist rigid. She could feel his attempt to push her away, making Alex grin internally. She sneaks towards the hallway where a certain teal haired boy stood staring, lips trembling and hands clenched in a fist in his side.
"And cut!"
As soon as the word is said, Kagami removed his arms off Alex knowing very well the woman could get down on her own. Alex laughs and stares at Kagami's glaring eyes.
"What?"
Kagami growls and turns away to pick his shirt, Alex follows and crosses his arms under the plump of her breast.
"Fuck off."
"Is that a way to speak to me?"
Kagami narrows his eyes at Alex, "The kiss was not in the script."
"Nobody said I can't." Alex says.
Kagami frowns, "What's with you?"
"You never had a problem before about me kissing you." Alex points out.
This is true, Kagami didn't mind before, it is Alex afterall. It's her nature, at first Kagami was confused and repulsed, an obvious display of disrespect for his personal space but as time passes the red head found Alex simply was touchy feely. Alex grew up in America—she's American and probably the gesture meant nothing—she has probably kissed more than Kagami could count with his fingers and toes. But…
Kagami turns and found Kuroko with his head down, Furihata seemed to have returned and was saying something to the teal haired male who doesn't seem to be paying much attention.
Did he see, Kagami wondered.
Alex sighs and smacks Kagami's back making the red head turn to face the model.
"I get it." Alex says quietly, "I'm not blind."
Kagami blinks, "Wha—"
"Ah, don't try and deny it." Alex says, "I know you, I'm sorry if I had to do that but he has to realize something."
"Who?"
Alex chuckles and smacks Kagami's arm again, "Your little angel?" she says tilting her head towards the hallways.
Kagami's face instantly blushes, "I-It's not like that."
"Not like that, huh? Then why are you concerned of what he thinks?"
"O-Of course I'm concerned we work together."
"So you wouldn't mind if I kissed him?"
"Ha?!"
Everyone turn towards Kagami and Alex at the red head's exclamation. Kagami didn't seem to pay heed to this and glares at the blonde who cockily stares down at the other.
"You wouldn't dare." Kagami says in a threatening tone.
"Won't I?"
With the last straw of Kagami's non-existent patience drawn, he pushed the blonde away and ran towards Kuroko who is now looking at them in confusion. Aida calls Kagami's attention asking what exactly happened but instead of answering the red head 's eyes were right at Kuroko's big blue ones.
Kuroko gasps as he feel Kagami take his wrist.
"Kagami-kun wha—"
"Come with me."
Kuroko blinks and finds himself merely nodding. Kagami without further ado pulls the teal haired musician with him.
.
.
.
.
"Kagami-kun where are we going?"
Kuroko could feel his heart hammering in his chest as Kagami leads him at the back of the building. The red head obviously is not in a good mood and for some reason Kuroko has no idea why. He hasn't answered any of Kuroko's question as soon as they have left the room which makes the teal head more nervous.
"Kagami-kun." Kuroko tries again, however instead of a verbal response he felt Kagami tighten his hold in his wrist.
When they reached the back of the building Kagami released his hand and quickly, without a warning pulls Kuroko in a tight embrace. The teal haired young man gasps at the sudden gesture, his eyebrows wrinkled at surprise and confusion filling his small frame.
"What are you doing?" Kuroko asks quietly.
"Let me stay for like this for a while?"
Kuroko wonders what Kagami meant, he could almost feel the distress sipping from the taller male's skin, the tremble of his strong arms around his waist like a helpless child. Kuroko feels a strange need to hold Kagami. He has always been the strong one, the man who took his hand and piece him back together relentlessly whenever he breaks apart—which unfortunately is often. He is the man who held him tight when he felt like pouring his heart out, he is the man who felt for him when he was tired of it. That very same man is breaking, falling apart before him, right now.
Kuroko sneaks his hand around Kagami's broad back and presses him closer.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Kuroko asks quietly.
Kagami pulls his head a bit away and nuzzles in the side of Kuroko's head like a kitten.
"Don't go near Alex." He whispers making Kuroko pop an imaginary question mark in his head.
"I thought you two are close."
As Kuroko said those words Kagami suddenly pulls him to his body closer, and tighter—desperate.
"Ah!" Kuroko gasps in surprise, "K-Kagami-kun what are you—"
"Promise me."
"I-I don't understand, i-is there something between you and Alex-san?"
Kagami creases his eyebrows in confusion, he pulls away from the hug and stares at Kuroko's confused blue eyes.
"What do you mean?" Kagami asks, "Something between me and Alex?"
Kuroko avoids the other's eyes, "She calls you by your first name and she doesn't seem too reluctant to put her lips on you…and you…don't seem to mind."
Kagami's eyes widen, "I-It's not like that, listen, Alex and I are neighbors back in America."
"And?"
Kagami sighs before running his hands through his hair. How can he explain Alex to Kuroko? The blu eyed musician stares at him with a curious and speculating gaze. His usual stoic and blank expression is laced with irritation and impatience.
"She's like that, that kiss meant nothing for her. She would kiss any man she finds attractive and that doesn't mean she feels anything other than that." Kagami says, "Wait…are you jealous?"
Kuroko turns away face flushes, "D-Do not be ridiculous. I-It's just that I am…you said it is me that you like a-and I saw you didn't seem to mind others kissing you so I…I merely wondered if…you were untrue…"
Kagami's eyes widen at the others words. He finds himself laughing.
"You thought I lied?"
Kuroko looks away his lips quivers and he nods. It isn't as if he wants to doubt Kagami, if there is anyone he trusts more than anything—it would be Kagami but…there was this small voice in the back of his head. That treacherous voice reminding him of every single time he has let himself down believing in others, hoping he would be loved just as much as he does.
Kagami notices the downcast expression of the other making him stop, his laugh fades and he finds himself reaching to put his hand on top of Kuroko's head. It has become a habit, a small unspoken routine for the two, whenever Kuroko would find himself succumbing back to the darkness where he once were, Kagami would put his hand in his head, ruffle those soft blue lock—I'm here, it's okay.
"You know that kiss means nothing for me." Kagami says in a hush voice.
Kuroko steps back from Kagami's touch, his head still hanging low. Kagami blinks at the gesture, his hand hanging by the air.
"Different? I…different? H-How?" Kuroko raises his head, eyes staring right at Kagami's.
The cerulean eyes are glistening with tears threatening to roll down his flush cheeks. His lips quiver in attempt to fend from his own fears and insecurities. Kagami's eyes widen at the sight.
He hurt him.
"I…I understand, I-I really do, I just—"
Kuroko's eyes widen when Kagami grabs his left arm forcing him to stare right back at Kagami's red eyes that somehow seems to look darker. The teal haired young man steps back again when Kagami steps forward, suffocating him with his distinct smell of warm musk of masculinity and cool scent of perfume. Kuroko could feel his knees buckle.
"You don't." Kagami says his voice dropping in a very dangerous tone.
Kuroko's could hear his own heart hammering in his chest, Kagami has never made him feel powerless or cornered. He has always made him secure and comfortable but right now, Kuroko could compare himself to a cornered prey.
"You don't understand." Kagami repeats as he slams his hand on the wall behind Kuroko making the other yelp and press his back on the cold surface. "I'll help you understand."
Kuroko turns to face Kagami when he felt the man pull him by the arm and put his other hand under his chin. His eyes widen as he felt Kagami's lips presses lightly in his, he could fell his heart racing even faster inside the confines of his ribs. Kagami breaks the kiss leaving only centimeters apart from their lips.
Kuroko quivers in Kagami's touch, eyes melting with the other's warm and sensual gazes. Smirking, Kagami moves his hand from Kuroko's chin to his cheek before kissing him back full in the lips. Kuroko feels a strange voice coming in his throat, his knees weakens even more. Kuroko feels a swipe of tongue in his lower lips and then between his lips making a shiver run up his spine.
"Mn!"
Kuroko isn't able to hold back his own voice and Kagami uses the opportunity to slip his tongue between those sinful parted lips. Kuroko gasps and melts at the feeling of the foreign wet organ invading his mouth moving and tracing him inside.
He could feel the fire burning inside him, from his chest spreading dangerously everywhere, to his fingertips down his toes. He finds himself grabbing the front of Kagami's thin shirt. His mind is starting to blur, his thoughts blocked by the sensation of Kagami's lips in his, the man's teeth nibbling his lower lip, and his hands dangerously low in the curve of his back.
Kuroko tries to catch his breath in between their kisses, but Kagami would quickly dive back to kiss him more passionately, hungry and domineering.
"Ah!" Kuroko gasps as he feels Kagami slides his cold hands under Kuroko's shirt.
The teal haired musician could feel the Kagami's calloused fingertips against his smooth skin, running from the curve of his waist and slowly just where his ribs lies. His touch is cold against his flushed Kuroko's skin, like an ice cube sliding on heated and sunburned skin.
Throwing all his logic out the window, Kuroko allows himself to drown in the pool of his own desires. He tilts his head to the side moaning and trying to imitate the taller male's movements in vain. His hands slip out of Kagami's hold and he slides them to the man's head, grabbing that thick and slightly coursed hair in between his fingers.
Kagami makes a sound at the back of his throat like a soft growl as Kuroko hands starts to massage Kagami's head. He has imagine kissing Kuroko for so long, his scent, the feel of his lips, the heat of his tongue and the lustful noise he creates, but those are nothing compared to when he is truly with him. His fantasies are nothing compared to this moment.
"This…" Kagami whispers as he pulls away for a moment panting, his hot breath tickling Kuroko's cheeks, "This is different."
To make an emphasis Kagami pulls Kuroko by the waist before wrapping him in his arms by his other hand. He could hear Kuroko's labored breathing as the other rests his head in his shoulder. Kagami slides his hand from Kuroko's waist to the other's hand and entwining them together before placing a kiss there.
"This is different, this want. This."
Kuroko hums contently; his mind is dazed with euphoria and Kagami's warmth makes him feel so lightheaded.
In all his time in the industry, he always avoided any project that would entail him to kiss someone, if inevitable the most he could do is a peck in the lips. He has no idea kissing is so…warm. It is like getting drunk without alcohol. In that moment he has forgotten everything else, it was as if there was only Kagami and him.
"I wouldn't kiss Alex like I kiss you, and it wouldn't feel like how it felt with you."
Kuroko nods and wraps his other hand in Kagami's neck.
"Alex can be a bit too much, I can handle her kissing me but I'm not sure if I can hold back if she tries anything funny with you."
"You're jealous?"
"Is that a crime?"
Kuroko chuckles in Kagami's shoulder and shakes his head. The teal haired musician turns his head to look at his and Kagami's entwined hand before squeezing them. It fits, as if it was made to be that way.
"…"
Kagami blinks, "What did you say?"
Kuroko blushes and hides his face in crook of Kagami's neck.
.
.
.
"You should kiss me…often."
