Dangerous Love

Day Two: Memory


Kasamatsu smiled down at his youngest brother; a two month old baby by the name of Naoki. The baby blew bubbles at him, smiling cutely when the teenager gave him a reprimanding look. Naoki giggled.

The steel-blue eyed teen's second youngest brother ran over. The four year old named Yuuta hopped over a stick, laughing childishly before he was pulling on Kasamatsu's arm gently. Kasamatsu nodded and put Naoki in their mother's arms before allowing himself to be dragged down to the stream by Yuuta.

By the stream, Kasamatsu noticed his third youngest brother. A fourteen year old middle school student called Kazuki. Kazuki was standing in the water, trying to catch the small fishes that darted by. He was having no luck.

Their father who stood a few feet away with his fishing rod, was laughing at Kazuki's attempts to catch the smaller fish. Yuuta joined the two in the stream and motioned for Kasamatsu to join them, as well.

Kasamatsu smiled, unable to hold back a laugh at his brothers' antics. He kicked his shoes off and was about to step into the cool water of the stream until he was suddenly jolted backwards-

Kasamatsu gasped loudly as he shot up from the dingy couch. His heart hammered in his chest and he was quick to notice Aomine hovering over him. "Wh- What the hell…" He grumbled shakily.

"It's time to go." Aomine informed as he tossed a duffle bag at Kasamatsu. The taller man slung a bag of his own over his shoulder and looked Kasamatsu in the eyes. "That bag is from your father. Do not lose it." Aomine instructed. He walked over to a dusty, chipped dresser and grabbed the clothes atop. He tossed them to Kasamatsu, "Put those on quickly, our ride should be here in five minutes."

Kasamatsu stared at Aomine for a brief moment before doing as he was told. 'So much for this all being a terrible dream,' the raven head thought bitterly as he changed into the shirt Aomine gave him.

The steel-blue eyed teenager thought about what Aomine said with furrowed eyebrows. Once Kasamatsu was finished dressing, he put the duffle bag over his shoulder and turned to Aomine. "I'm ready." He told him.

Aomine gave him a once over before he gave him a nod. The tanned man put a baseball cap over Kasamatsu's head, giving it a slight tug. "Just be sure to keep your head down and under no circumstances wander away from me." Aomine instructed.

Kasamatsu did not say anything, only reaching up to adjust the cap. He had a frown on his face, thinking this was still so unbelievable. The teenager could feel Aomine's eyes on him but he ignored it until the taller male was leaning down. Kasamatsu faltered as Aomine grasped his chin, forcing him to look up into Aomine's dark blue orbs.

"Do you understand?" Aomine questioned dangerously.

Kasamatsu flushed hotly and smacked Aomine's hand off his chin. "Yeah, I got it." He snarked.

Aomine turned around and lead the way out of the dingy motel room. It was not long until Kasamatsu realized that the hired man had brought them to an abandoned motel in one of the poor districts of Tokyo. Once they got outside and into an underground parking lot of a nearby shopping centre, Kasamatsu spotted two cars parked next to one another.

One of the cars looked brand new while the other appeared like it could get some severe work done. Kasamatsu noticed someone sitting on the hood of the older-looking car, as well as someone sitting inside the nicer car.

"It's about time, Aominecchi." The guy got up off the hood of the car and waltzed up to Aomine and Kasamatsu. "You know how bad I look with this car?" He complained as he ran a hand though his blond hair.

Kasamatsu directed his attention elsewhere, suddenly feeling annoyed by the blond. Aomine smacked the guy, "Shut up, Kise." He barked.

"So mean." Kise whined, despite being all smiles.

Aomine scoffed, "Whatever." The blue haired man surveyed the car and clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Kise, couldn't you pick a better car?"

"Unfortunately it's the only one we could find on such short notice." The guy who was in the other car told Aomine as he stepped out. He brushed the wrinkles from his suit jacket before he continued, "You'll just have to make do, Aomine-kun."

Aomine rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, yeah. Anyway, we're in a hurry - I'll see you later, Tetsu."

"What about me?" Kise huffed with crossed arms.

The royal blue eyed man pushed past the blond, dragging Kasamatsu along, "Goodbye, Kise." He called.

Kise blinked and spun around, a small pout on his face. "Ehh…"

The young adult was pushed into the passenger seat by Aomine. Kasamatsu glared and swatted at Aomine's hand. By the time Aomine was seated, the other two were driving off. Kasamatsu turned away from the window, staring at Aomine. "Who were they?" He asked, genuinely curious.

"Just some guys I work with." Aomine replied gruffly.

Kasamatsu stared at him before he turned his attention back out the window as the drove out of the parking lot. Kasamatsu watched the passing scenery, thinking about the guys who Aomine apparently worked with. "That blond guy seems like an idiot…" Kasamatsu mumbled.

"That's because he is an idiot." Aomine responded, a smirk on his face.

A few minutes of silence passed and Aomine frowned. He shifted gears as he picked up speed. "Didn't you say you wanted answers?"

Kasamatsu arched his eyebrow as he turned away from the window and stared at Aomine. "Are you sure you should be driving all distracted?"

"Don't worry about me, brat. Just ask your questions before I change my mind." Aomine advised.

Kasamatsu rolled his eyes at being called a brat once more. "Okay, first of all – I'm not a brat. You're not even that much older than me…" He muttered. The raven head turned his eyes tiredly as he thought about the questions he wanted to ask the most. He chewed the inside of his lip, wondering where he should start.


I love that despite the fact Kasamatsu has never met Kise before he still knows he's an idiot. xD Tomorrow is day three: Fast.
