"You have no choice Taiga."
"I know."
"Trying to prolong it won't change the outcome."
"I know."
"Then what are you waiting for, Kagami?"
"Shut up, Ahomine. Why don't you make the call if it's so easy?"
"Nah."
"Tch."
"Calm down, Kagami-kun. I'm sure it's going to be okay."
"Kuroko's right Taiga. Alex will surely understand."
"..."
Kagami sighed in defeat and nodded sullenly. It had been three days since that fight with these guys - Kazuya and Hiroshi if he remembered correctly. Since today he was declared a completely healed by Midorima and allowed to move around freely again. He was currently in the living room together with the rest of the Generation of Miracles. In front of him on the wooden table lay his phone, ready to be used by him. The only problem was that Kagami wasn't exactly motivated to do anything like that. Everyone was watching him expectantly; even Akashi and the normally always stoic Kuroko and Midorima couldn't hide their curiosity.
When Kagami finally grabbed the mobile and dialled his aunt's number the occupants of the room all perked up, only to slump back into their seats when Kagami disconnected that call only seconds later.
"Don't be such a puss."
"Shut up asshole!" The redhead growled dangerously and Aomine was about to retort when he received an icy glare from Kuroko, a silent warning not to upset his mate unnecessarily.
"Sorry, didn't mean it." Aomine mumbled lowly instead of the planned comeback.
Kagami's expression changed immediately from one of annoyance to surprise until he settled for a gentle, almost loving look.
"It's fine. I'm just on edge, sorry."
Aomine decided then and there that those mood swings were going to be the death of him. Whether it be from Kagami killing him in his anger or because he couldn't take the cuteness of his angel anymore.
...What am I? A highschool girl?
Aomine was brought out of his reverie when Kagami stood up from the spot beside him on the sofa, mobile in hand with a serious expression on his face.
"I'm gonna go do it outside and alone."
Kagami really didn't want to have an audience when it was about to get ugly with his aunt shouting at him through the phone for being so careless.
His aunt still scared him sometimes even though he was a grown man by now. It seemed like some things never change.
The others simply nodded in acceptance and silently watched him leave the room.
Once outside Kagami sighed for the umpteenth time that day.
What would his aunt say? He was sure she wasn't going to hate him for being...different now. But she would definitely be mad – and Alex was terrifying when she was upset.
'Worrying won't help improve the situation' is what he always tells Aomine, but look at him now.
After another second of an almost mental breakdown he finally mans up and once again dials the number.
Ring.
Ri,-
"Taiga, dear~! How are you? Anything new?"
"H-Hey auntie..."
There was silence all of a sudden and Kagami broke out in a cold sweat.
"...Taiga, what's wrong? You haven't called me 'auntie' since you were fourteen."
Kagami silently cursed himself.
"Well, you see..."
And he told her everything. How one of his friends was injured while fighting, how they finally found out the culprits true identity. He told her about his and Aomine's relationship, the fight and how he was badly wounded and his only chance at survival was to be turned into a vampire.
He made sure to tell Alex that he was fine now, that there wasn't even a trace left of his wound. One of the many benefits of being a vampire after all.
He realized he was rambling by now, about the other members of the Generation of Miracles. That they treated him like a part of them, like family. In the short time he was with them they had become important to him and he would fight for each and everyone of them. To keep them safe. He talked about how he wanted to stay with them, with Aomine.
All that time his aunt didn't say a word. She was silently listening to everything he had to say, everything that he needed to tell somebody. When Kagami was finished she sighed quietly and the redhead's heart dropped.
"I want to meet them."
"Huh?"
"I said I want to meet them. The 'Generation of Miracles' and especially this Aomine. If you're going to stay there then I'm going to make sure they treat you well."
Kagami had to swallow hard, he really felt like crying – out of happiness. He took a deep breath to calm himself down before he laughed merrily.
"Sure. Anytime you want."
"And don't think you can laze around young Tiger. You'll still be doing work, vampire or not."
Kagami laughed and in the back of his mind he wondered why he had been worried in the first place.
