Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy!"I'm going to head out first Kagami-kun. I need some air." Kuroko having long ago finished his single burger and fries stood up as Kagami gave him a look. While he appreciated the company while he devoured his 25 burgers, Kagami knew that Kuroko did have better things to do than watch him be a pig.

"Mmmrll bee mrite mout" Kagami said, then swallowed.

Kuroko gave his signature answer of "Doumo" and exited.

Quickly finishing his last burger, Kagami hurried out to join Kuroko. After all, the last time Kuroko was out alone, he picked a fight with some kids twice his size over basketball. Who knows what would've happened if he and Kise weren't there.

Kagami was relieved to see that Kuroko hadn't wandered too far but saw him staring at a corner store window. And of course in typical Kuroko style, no one noticed how creepy this was because no one noticed him period.

"Kagami-kun." Without turning around, Kuroko knew he was there, but his voice threw Kagami off. There was a small tinge of sadness but Kagami was so used to his monotone style of speaking that he was instantly alerted.

"What's up, you okay?" Kagami rested his elbow onto Kuroko's soft hair. Then he realized what exactly Kuroko was looking at. On the window was a corner piece of tape that once held their school's poster. Whoever did this didn't even have the decency to carefully rip off the tape. They just full blown tore it off without care.

It didn't matter to them how long the editing took.

It didn't matter to them how hard Seirin had worked.

To say that Kagami was pissed was an understatement. And of course Kagami wasn't the type to stay calm.

Before Kuroko could react, all 190 centimeters of this intimidating red haired man was inside the store, grasping the store clerk's collar so hard that he was struggling to breathe.

By the time Kuroko realized what was happening, and went inside to calm him down, people had already called the cops. By the time Kuroko managed to calm him down, the cops were here.

Kagami, still slightly pissed, though no one around him was at fault, began to turn his anger towards the police.

Kagami could have easily overpowered the two scrawny police officers and everyone, especially Kuroko knew this. Which is why Kuroko slammed his knee into the back of Kagami's making him crumple to the ground and this time really calm down.

The cops took this chance to handcuff Kagami and allowed Kuroko to ride with them to the station.

At the station, the cops learned an unfortunate fact about both students: neither had a guardian they could call. Their coach was also an old man who never interacted with them so he couldn't bail them either.

So Kuroko did the next best thing. He called Riko Aida, their student coach, and thirty minutes later, she arrived with Junpei, the captain, glaring daggers.

Both senpais, being the responsible students they were were quick to apologize for Kagami's behavior after explaining their position in his life. The two policemen were happy to let the giant man out of his temporary cell where immediately, Riko demanded he apologize as well.

Believing the two senpais to be responsible enough to deal with him, Kagami was allowed to leave with a short warning from the cops to watch his temper.

By this time, Kuroko had disappeared and after being told to get ready for the special hellish practice that Riko would stay up to make, Kagami was ordered to go home.

Oh how everyone wished it was this easy. However with the new generation of phones, everything was news worthy- especially a giant high school kid strangling and threatening a puny store clerk.

The next morning, the news of the town was none other than Kagami's actions the night before. News truly travelled fast because Riko had called Kagami at 5AM after working on his punishment declaring that he needed to make things right or the entire basketball team would suffer.

So naturally, because he never thinks before acting, Kagami sat outside the store waiting for the store clerk to arrive.

As soon as he arrived, Kagami bolted up, completely ready to apologize.

His large, muscular body, along with his resting facial expression (which was quite terrifying) startled the man who then froze.

Kagami, still not thinking, began to strut towards him, not saying a word.

The clerk began to whimper and once Kagami was within reaching distance, he snapped out of it and started screaming for help.

Kagami was the one who froze then. He quickly raised both hands up, as if saying that he comes in peace, then began to babble once the screaming subsided.

"I just came to apologize for the other night I wasn't thinking I just knew my friend was awfully sad because of the poster removal and I got pissed off and my brain just assumed you were the problem I am really sorry I can help out around here if you would like i'm tall and can life heavy..."

The store clerk was visibly relaxed as he began to laugh at the awkwardness of the giant boy.

"Yea actually, you know what? One of my employees is on leave so I would really appreciate the help for about 2 weeks."

And with that all was good. After all, sincerity really goes a long way.

For the next two weeks, Kagami had an extremely busy schedule; he would work a shift in the early morning, go to school, do basketball practice (which Riko was still being extremely hard about) have burgers with Kuroko then go home.

Although sometimes, Kuroko joined him in the morning to keep him company which he appreciated and then they would walk to school together.

Soon the two weeks would end and everything would be back to normal again.

Except...

No one knew of the blue eyed boy keeping watch from a distance.

Hey guys! As this is my first time writing a story some feedback would be good! I'm worried I am dragging out the "before" too long. I am trying to build up eventually to the focus of the story but I still have so much information I want to put in haha. Lemme know!
