Seirin faced a crushing defeat. Kuroko was stunned he had been the utmost useless on court and was able to do only nothing. The blank gaze from the new phantom towards him only served to be freezing his heart more.
Nothing were said in the locker room. Not even a single word exchange. Though everyone kept throwing glances towards their phantom player. The defeat was excruciating but it must have been worse for the bluenette.
And indeed it is worse. Kuroko's face never looked so shock before. His eyes never so blank.
Kuroko slung his bag over his shoulders and one by one the Seirin High Basketball team walked out of the locker room. It all ends here. The defeat with Touou was nothing compared to this. They lost in Inter-High. They lost at the Winter Cup.
The Generation of Miracles are ruthless foes.
On their way out a presence greeted them. Though unlike Kuroko his presence was that of a normal person. But he still bested Kuroko in using Misdirection technique. Mayuzumi Chihiro stood in their way alone, staring blankly at them or more precisely at Kuroko Tetsuya.
Kuroko stared back emotionlessly. "You guys head back first. I..." Kuroko does not know how to continue his sentence.
Thankfully they just nodded at Kuroko's words and left without a single second spend on hesitation. Kagami though stared at Kuroko unsurely before following the other lead. Still keeping his eyes on Kuroko until the two vanished from his sight.
Mayuzumi nodded and motioned at Kuroko to follow him and they walked out of the building to a park not far from where the tournament was being held. Neither had spoken a word to one another. Kuroko is mystified on why is this person interested of him and taking him here but Kuroko suspects it might to gloat. Whatever it is Kuroko hope Mayuzumi gets it done soon.
He'd like to go home and vent out. Let out all of his feelings in hiding.
The park was empty and not to mention where they are also quite a secluded area. Then Mayuzumi stopped walking and turned around to stare at Kuroko who just kept his expression neutral. Both waited for the other to say something or do something, any slightest sounds or gesture.
Kuroko was never the one to start a conversation but this time he decided to be the one to break the silence. Those blank stares but seems to held something was very nerve-wrecking. "Do you have some kind of business with me, Mayuzumi-kun?" Kuroko asked.
Mayuzumi didn't answer but instead he stepped closer to Kuroko and closer and closer until there was only a foot distance between them. Mayuzumi continued to stare into Kuroko's soft baby sky blue pair of eyes. Kuroko look back into the pair of blank grey-colored eyes which reminds him of a wolf's grey shade. The gaze was blank but it seems to be hiding and holding something.
He has seen those pair of eyes before. But where?
Mayuzumi uttered a single word as he caressed Kuroko's cheek. "Cry." It wasn't a command. Not a sympathy-filled word. Not a plead either. It was just a single word that understands.
Buu =3=
Haha. Okay I admit the story right now kinda sucks. But better chapters in the future and longers ones~! Promises!
Oh but I won't be updating for 2 weeks maybe. I mean I will still be writing this too cute of a fated pairing (though KiKuro is still my OTP) I just won't be able to update due to no internet connection, okay? When I get internet connection again...I'll update it all straight away.
I'm going back to my hometown~! Woohoo!
