It'd be hard to believe the temperature outside was a mere 20 degrees with how rapidly the heat between the two teenagers was rising. Their groans were barely audible outside the bedroom door that kept them from being discovered, but with their attention solely focused on the other, each sound they made seemed amplified.
Slowly running his hands across Kagami's back, Aomine soon let his fingers play with the hem of the redhead's shirt, being careful to lift it without startling him. All the drinking he'd been doing a few minutes prior bellied his sober state, but he knew he couldn't say the same about Kagami, whose eyes were hazy when he cracked his own open to check on him as they kissed. While he originally blamed it on his lust, Kagami's technique was becoming sloppier by the second—albeit it didn't feel bad, the guy was actually a pretty decent kisser—but it was a sign that the alcohol was starting to take a toll on him. Knowing he's drunk, Aomine thought over whether he wanted to stop or not, not wanting to take advantage of a guy who honestly seemed like he had his best intentions in mind when accompanying him home, despite his earlier claims of not wanting to get in trouble with Kuroko or his coach and what not. The thought immediately flew out the window however when Aomine unintentionally ran his hand over Kagami's ass, causing him to arch into Aomine and grind their already hardened arousals against each other.
'Fuck… I can't help it, he just feels so good… I don't want to stop…'
Finally able to bring Kagami's shirt up high enough to reveal his nipples, Aomine slowly ran his thumb across one of them as he continued kissing Kagami, immediately receiving another guttural moan in reply that sent a wave of heat straight to his cock. He pulled away from Kagami's lips and began trailing wet kisses across his jaw, and soon sucking on the skin from his neck, knowing he'd likely leave a bruise that will need to be covered up later but not caring at the moment. Wanting to hear more of Kagami's groans, Aomine attempted to reach down and taste more but became frustrated when the baggy shirt Kagami wore kept getting in the way. "Fuck… Kagami," he breathed softly, "Let me take your shirt off, it's still in the way."
"Yeah, just take it off Aomine," replied Kagami, slightly breathless.
Kagami easily complied, rising up to straddle Aomine's thighs and letting him pull the shirt over his head. As soon as it was gone the cold air hit his chest, hardening his nipples more than they'd already been from Aomine's short ministrations. Aomine brought his hands up to feel his way up Kagami's sides, the softness surprising him. He's never been with any guy aside from Kise, and before then, he'd only been ever been involved with one girl, whose huge breasts were the only part of her worth noting in his eyes. He didn't think guys could feel the way he would expect a girl to though, Kise already having thrown him off guard the first time he was able to touch him. 'Is it just Kise and Kagami, or are all guys like that? I don't think I feel as good to touch as they do… ' he thought, frowning a bit at the thought of Kagami and Kise being so similar.
So similar in fact, he almost didn't realize that the way Kagami's hands were now finding their way underneath his shirt felt almost exactly the same Kise's would—and it was like a bucket of cold water was dumped on him. Kagami didn't notice the halt in his movements however, and leaned down to kiss Aomine's lips as he brought his hands back out from underneath his shirt to try and pry it off.
"Mm, Aomine, now it's your turn," he slurred, and that was all the push needed to convince Aomine this had gone far enough.
Never in a million years would he have imagined he'd end up like this, Kagami undulating above him, cheeks stained red and lips swollen from being kissed so hard. He was surprised at how much he'd just yearned for the guy, not being able to tell if it was a reaction to his hurt feelings and needing someone to comfort him, or if the potential for a relationship between them was always there. 'I doubt it though… I think I would have noticed how attractive he is by now if I didn't only have eyes for Kise…' He had to admit, what he had been doing was fucked up, but with Kagami mentioning boyfriends earlier he couldn't help but thinking of Kise and that senpai of his. 'What if that asshole does reciprocate Kise's feelings, then what would I be left with?' he'd thought. If he could get Kagami to go out with, hell even just mess around with or make appearances out in public with him, he figured he could deal with the break up.
Remembering the intensity of the hurt Kise's actions had brought him sent Aomine's thoughts running.
'Now what should I do?! Fuck, it's not fair… It's not fair for one person to decide when it's all over when the other person's feelings are still going strong… How long will I have to suffer like this? Why couldn't I have gotten over him the second he mentioned that bastard?'
The feeling of Kagami's mouth softly sucking on his collar bones as brought Aomine back to the present. He couldn't help but want to keep Kagami around to sate his loneliness. Despite he and Kise never going out on any dates or even laying around doing much of nothing, knowing the blonde had been his warmed his heart. He could reach him at any time he wanted and he'd be assured that Kise was thinking of him just as much if not more. The knowledge that it was all gone now hurt as much as finding out the sport he'd loved more than anything had turned its back on him during his Teiko days.
'I cant' just leave things as they are… I can't go back to feeling like that… it was miserable. It's a long shot but I doubt he could see me and Kagami together and not feel anything, especially so soon after him leaving me… granted it might not stir up little more than confusion in him and hell—Kagami might not come across as anything but a rebound, but at least it's something… Fuck, that retard didn't even think about how I'd feel about this, did he? Why the fuck would he care if I'm with someone else when he doesn't even like me anymore? 'Oh I'm sorry but I have feelings for my senpai?' what kind of shit was that? No, seriously, what the fuck? Who dumps someone they've shared so much of themselves with like that? Maybe I was the only one feeling he was more special than he really was. He doesn't deserve anymore of my attention... but damn it! As well as I understand that, I know I won't be able to get him out of my head anytime soon! He's the first person I've ever felt like this for... Damnit, Kise, you stupid fuck…'
As his thoughts were running rampant, Kagami decided to forgo the removal of Aomine's shirt for now and focus on an easier task, unbuckling that damn belt keeping him from getting to Aomine's cock. He smiled in satisfaction when he was finally able pull it apart and was about to begin unbuttoning Aomine's jeans when he felt his hand reach around his neck to pull him down, Aomine's tongue being shoved deep into his mouth.
'I change my mind, maybe actually going out with Kagami will help me get over him, even if it isn't anything more than physical attraction right now.'
Aomine had been about to push Kagami off himself when his thoughts started taking on a more bitter tone. 'So while I'm alone here at home and at school, that asshole is gonna be having the time of his life with Kasamatsu, huh? I'll still have to think about him meanwhile he's already forgotten about me? No, fuck that. At least there's someone here who seems to want me, and even if he wakes up later on today wondering what the fuck is going on, I'll remind him how much he wanted this… besides it's not like I was completely unaffected by the alcohol.' Convinced he could continue, he looked up at Kagami's face, where he found him sporting a triumphant toothy little smile that he found rather cute, and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the reason Kagami was so overjoyed. 'He's so eager.'
He brought him down and kissed him hard, making his intent clear as he sucked on Kagami's tongue. Groaning, Kagami pulled back, breathless, lips swollen and eyes filled with lust.
"You know, it's nice seeing you this way… Taiga," whispered Aomine, liking the way the name easily slid past his lips, assuring him that he's made the right decision.
Surprised at Aomine's use of his first name, Kagami's eyes widened."D-don't just call me that all of a sudden Ahomine," grumbled Kagami, his cheeks fiercely heating up as he noted the tone it was said in. "You sound like a creep."
Snickering, Aomine hugged Kagami to his frame, "A creep? Haha, what the hell? Aw fuck, I forgot you're a virgin… wait how much have you actually done with a guy, Taiga?" he asked as he ran his fingers through Kagami's hair.
He felt Kagami stiffen before he heard him reply. "Y-you should know… you were here."
Aomine felt his eyes widen as the realization hit him. "Wait, seriously? But all we've done is kiss!" reminded Aomine, bewildered at the confession. He pulled Kagami back up to look into his eyes and saw the honesty reflected in them. 'Shit, he's serious… he doesn't even look as drunk as he did a few minutes ago…'
"Uh yeah… I've never done that before tonight, well, not counting Alex's tap kisses that is." Kagami blushed, burying his head in the crook of Aomine's shoulder in order to hide his face, heart racing at revealing a part of himself he'd never shared with anyone else.
"Alex?" questioned Aomine roughly, frowning at the name. 'He mentioned it before.' Leaning his head to the side he placed a kiss on the top of Kagami's head to calm him down, he'd felt Kagami's arms tighten around him when he'd repeated the name.
"Yeah, remember? She's my basketball mentor. Though I don't count her because a) she's a grown woman I've never had any interest in, and b) she's a woman, and like I said before, I'm gay." replied Kagami as he listed his reasons off by counting off from his fingers as he lifted his head a bit to look into Aomine's eyes.
'Man, this guy is just full of surprises, huh? He doesn't look like a virgin at all, and yeah, I know you can't really look like a virgin, but if anyone else were to look at his cute blushing face right now they wouldn't deny that he is one. Ya know, it's kinda nice that I'm his first. Heh.'
Aomine couldn't help the slow smile that took over his face. "Wow. So, I'm your first kiss. That's… wow."
Kagami in turn couldn't help the pout that overtook his features in response, "You don't have to look so smug, asshole. God I feel like I'm never gonna live this down," he groused, pulling away from Aomine a bit.
"Haha, hey where are you going?" asked Aomine, pulling Kagami back towards him as he sat up, placing Kagami between his legs so that his legs wrapped around Aomine's torso. "You should be honored to have the Great Aomine Daiki bestowing his lips onto yours, not just anyone gets—"
"Oh my God Aomine if you don't shut up right now I'm leaving!" hissed Kagami, the intense scowl he usually pulled off being softened by the blush staining his cheeks.
"Hahaha! You look like a little kid, Taiga!" laughed Aomine, struggling to hold Kagami in place when he felt him attempt to lift himself off the floor. "Sorry, sorry! It's that you looked so cute, I couldn't take it seriously," he explained when he saw that Kagami's anger was starting to rise.
"Don't call me a kid! Especially when we were gonna… Oh god… I was just about to…we…" Kagami couldn't finish his sentence seeing as he was about to start hyperventilating at the thought of losing his virginity.
"Calm down, it's not that serious," snickered Aomine, thinking Kagami was being over dramatic. "Most guys can't wait till there first time, and if I remember correctly, based on the rate you were going, we'd be on our second round as of now."
Mouth gaping at Aomine's claim, Kagami shook his head as if to negate his words. "Not that serious?! Well for me it is! What, was your first time as memorable as grabbing a snack from a vending machine? I don't think I'd ever be able to stop thinking about it every time I saw you."
Aomine was completely stunned, and the memory of taking Kise's first kiss flashed through his mind unexpectedly, followed by the memory of touching Kise's naked skin for the first time, watching as he made him orgasm, how his face would contort at not being able to handle so much pleasure… the sound of his moans against his ears as he tried to hold back in fear of being caught… how good it felt to hold each other afterwards…
Aomine suddenly recoiled at himself as the full meaning behind what he was doing hit him. 'This was a horrible fucking idea, what the hell is wrong with me? Shit, there's no way I'm sober,' he mentally denied. 'All being with Kagami would do is remind me of what being with Kise was like! I'm just trying to imitate what we had because I miss him so much.' Fed up with the back and forth his emotions have taken him since getting that call from Kise, Aomine decided it was time to call it a night.
"Kagami… in that case, we should stop. This was a bad idea, you're drunk," he ground out, trying to get the other to back off of him, hoping that Kagami would agree. He started feeling guilty at planning to use Kagami the way he'd had in mind. 'He's more innocent than I could have ever thought…'
"Wait, what? What are you talking about, I'm fine! See?" Kagami asked, trying to give Aomine what was supposed to be a reassuring smile. Aomine waited for the sign that was supposed to convince him otherwise but soon realized that the smile was supposed to be it and couldn't help but feel worse as it further proved how wrong he was in thinking using Kagami would have been a good idea. Getting up, he picked up Kagami's discarded shirt and handed it to him.
"Uh, no, I don't think so. Come on, you can sleep on the bed; I'll take a mat on the floor. Later on today you'll wake up, wonder where the fuck you're at and probably attempt to murder me once you remember what happened—if you remember that is. Hopefully you won't," he muttered the last few words, but Kagami was still able to hear them.
"Why would I want to forget, didn't you say you wanted me to be your boyfriend?" he asked in a low voice. Aomine's brain might as well have melted and seeped out of his ears, not knowing how to respond to the words that came out of the red heads mouth. 'No fucking way! He actually wants to?'
"What are you talking about, idiot, we were just goofing around. You said it yourself, 'If I wasn't such a piece of shit you would probably go out with me', right? I don't plan on changing for anyone, so there's no way it'd work." At hearing himself say those words out loud, it dawned on Aomine that if he didn't plan on changing, Kise wouldn't take him back no matter what he did. 'He likes his senpai because he has something to offer him that I don't… we weren't just growing apart, he was already growing into someone different. Growing up. I'm the same as I've ever been… No wonder he grew tired of me.' Before the pain of that revelation really set in however, he heard Kagami reply, "What if I don't want you to change?"
His eyes widened again, and he couldn't help but shake his head at the confession, not believing that Kagami, his rival, the guy who he has fights with from being in each other's presence within a matter of minutes, actually wants to go out with him. But Kagami looks serious. He'd already put his shirt back on, and sat down on the edge of Aomine's bed, starring at him expectantly.
"There's no way. We can't be together, we'd kill each other!" he answered harshly, coming to sit next to him. "Look, kissing you was nice and all but it isn't enough for you to want to go out with me. We don't know each other well enough for that, and what we do know about the other, we can't stand!" Sighing he placed his elbows on his knees, letting his head rest on his open palms. Remembering the feel of Kagami under him, and his sweet face when he was confessing about Aomine being his first came rushing back. 'Well I guess that's not true anymore…'
Kagami had been pretty quiet up until this point, which looking back on it, he should have found strange, but the slap to the back on his head quickly thwarted whatever misgivings he'd had on the situation. "Then why the fuck did you get my hopes up you fucking piece of shit?!" roared a voice next to his ear. It made him jump up and like last time, he slapped a hand over Kagami's mouth.
"Are you fucking crazy? Shut the fuck up!" he whispered, or at least tried to, but Kagami was much harder to fight off this time, putting up a resistance he didn't expect after the tender moments they'd shared earlier. "Calm down, I'm sorry, okay! I didn't mean to—wait, what? Get your hopes up? You had said no, what are you talking about?!" he yelled out in anger, followed by a much softer fuck for his blunder. If his parents woke up to find him not only with some random guy in his bedroom, but open alcohol bottles and the hickeys on Kagami's neck to boot, he probably won't have a place to live after this. "Look, Kagami," he spoke quickly, panicking slightly at the threat of being caught, "Please, you need to calm down. I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking, okay? I wasn't trying to get your hopes up or whatever. I never thought you'd actually consider it," he ground out once he was able to hold Kagami down by lying over his body and pinning his arms over his head.
Kagami was breathing hard, refusing to stare into Aomine's eyes and instead preferring the blank wall to their side. His brows were furrowed, and after a few uncomfortable seconds passed, his face took on an expression of disappointment. "Why would you kiss me then?" He questioned softly, voice gravelly. "That was my first real kiss… I thought you were serious. I wasn't planning on saying yes till you did that… In that moment I forgot all about the guy I couldn't get along with and just thought, 'fuck, this is Aomine. The guy I admire, who plays like no one else I've ever seen, who's made my heart pound in excitement at the thought of playing basketball with him. The guy who's now making my heart pound at the feel of his mouth on mine…' I started wondering about why we haven't gotten along better when it could be this good, you know? Then all of a sudden you stop everything and pull this shit on me. Why?"
Aomine gave an audible swallow and leaned his forehead on the side of Kagami's head, the guilt of what he'd done being no comparison to what he'd felt before. "I'm so sorry. You're right, I am a piece of shit, you didn't deserve that. Even though my intent wasn't to hurt you, I did and I'm honestly sorry. I just—fuck I just didn't know what else to do!" he cried against Kagami's shoulder. "I just really wanted to stop hurting and it's like you were calling out to me! I was scared of being lonely, okay? But I didn't wanna use you like that…" he was breathing harshly, tears welling up in his eyes as he laid his body down on top of Kagami's, trembling at the truth he's just said out loud. He'd never been this open about any of his pain before, neither with Momoi or Kise himself. He'd always known himself for being strong, the only time he'd even shown any tears to anyone else being when Kuroko had come to find him that day in the rain when he'd lost all hope in things being like they were before with him, basketball and his team in Teiko.
He felt Kagami's arms wrap themselves around him, his low voice whispering, "Why can't you let me there for you? I mean, I get it, it's hard to believe us being together but, why the fuck not? It won't work at all if we don't try, right? People compare us all the time, people who have only known us from a basketball match. They can already tell we're alike somehow, and if we are, then maybe that's what you need. Someone that's like you, who can read you better than anyone else, or push you like no one else, Mr. 'No one can beat me but me', right? I know I can be that for you 'cause I already am. Let me get to know you better while I help you heal by being there for you. Maybe being in a relationship would be a bad idea if you don't think you can handle it, but at the very least we should at least try being friends. I don't think I'd ever think of giving up on the guy I just considered losing my virginity to."
Sniffling, Aomine let out a light chuckle. "Fuck. I could fall in love with you, you know? Since when were you this sweet, huh, Taiga?" he asked, lifting up his head to stare down into Kagami's eyes.
Kagami reaches up and wipes the stray tears from his eyes, offering a small smile at the comment. "Honestly, if you hadn't pissed me off so much that day you came to find me at the basketball court with your whole 'Your light is too dim' bullshit I probably would have been swooning over you a lot sooner."
"Eh, you really like me that much?" asked Aomine with a raised brow.
"Yes, you idiot, I really fucking do. I-I wanna make you happy." Replied Kagami, averting his eyes when he felt his face flush for what felt like the thousandth time that day.
"Damn it, don't say such embarrassing things all of a sudden!" whispered Aomine, quickly pressing a kiss to Kagami's cheek and looking away, feeling his own face heat up.
"Me?! You've been saying embarrassing things since I've first met you!"
Before Aomine could reply he heard his parent's bedroom door open. Quickly placing a palm over Kagami's mouth and making a shushing motion with his other hand, Aomine slowly got off Kagami and lightly tip toed over to where the bottles of alcohol were and carefully moved them over to a corner of the room where they couldn't be seen, in case one of his parents woke up to check on him because of any noise. He was relieved however when he heard the bathroom door being opened and closed across the hall outside his bedroom. He waited till he heard his parent's door reclose before making his way back to Kagami.
"Phew that was a close one." He whispered, and was about to sit next to Kagami when he heard his phone vibrate on the floor with a new message flashing across the screen. Bending down to pick it up, he saw the time was 6:01 A.M. in the morning, but that thought quickly flew out the window as his heartbeat started speeding up when he saw that he had 9 messaged from Kise and 12 missed calls.
4:09 A.M.
From: Kise
Aominecchi, please pick up, we need to talk.
4:11 A.M.
From: Kise
I'm sorry if you're mad, but please, pick up.
4:13 A.M.
From:Kise
I didn't mean to hurt you…
4:13 A.M.
From:Kise
I'm really sorry, please talk to me!
5:17 A.M.
From:Kise
I don't know if this is karma or not, but it didn't work out with Kasamatsu-Senpai. I really need you.
5:29 A.M.
From:Kise
Maybe I deserve for you to ignore me or never talk to me again, but you have to understand why I felt it wasn't working out for us Aominecchi.
5:29 A.M.
From:Kise
It's not like I'd call it quits between us on a whim.
5:30 A.M.
From:Kise
I still love you.
5:30 A.M.
From:Kise
I need to see you.
5:31 A.M.
From:Kise
I'll be by your house in a few. I still have the keys you gave me back in middle school just in case you lost yours, soo just in case you're ignoring me or you have your phone off or you're sleeping… I'll be coming by.
Aomine didn't realize he'd been starring at his phone with horror-stricken expression on his face. Kagami had sat still watching as Aomine pressed some of the buttons, a range of emotions he couldn't really identify taking over his features with each click.
"Aomine? What's wrong?" he asked cautiously, hoping that nothing terrible came to pass.
Having forgotten Kagami was still there as rage, relief and confusion clouded his thoughts as he'd read Kise's messages, Aomine gasped when he heard his voice. "Fuck! Kagami, K-Kise, he's—"
Aomine abruptly stopped, he and Kagami turning to the door when they heard Kise's knock and wavering voice whisper through the door, "Aominecchi? Are you awake? Please let me in, otherwise I'll just use your keys," arriving as though summoned seconds after Aomine spoke his name.
Freezing, Aomine's mouth hung open, feeling he wasn't ready to see Kise again after the night he'd just had. Turning, he saw Kagami frown before asking, "Kise? What is he doing here?"
His throat suddenly gone dry, Aomine struggled to get any words out. "K-Kagami… Kise is my ex. He… he broke up with me last night," he confessed hoarsely, not realizing he'd fallen back to calling Taiga by his last name. Turning back to look at the door, Aomine's breath caught as he watched Kise make his way into his room after unlocking the door.
"Aominecchi… and Kagamicchi?" questioned Kise, bewildered at finding the last person he'd expect to see in Aomine's room. Taking in their wide eyes at his sudden entrance, he noted they weren't expecting him, yet they both looked as though they'd been wide awake, and if there disheveled appearances were anything to go by, they'd been busy, particularly Aomine if the hickeys decorating Kagami's neck were his doing. A quick swipe across the room found the alcohol bottles in the corner, not hidden as well as Aomine had thought.
Turning back to look at the teen he felt he'd loved longer and more than he could have ever fathomed, who'd tried for and was willing to try for again starring back at him as though he were the one at a loss, Kise broke.
A/N: I'm sooo sorry that like 7,000 years have passed since I last updated. No seriously, when I wait for others to update, even a week can end up feeling like a month, so I feel terrible. I didn't update sooner because I'd had this chapter written literally the day after I'd posted the first one, and couldn't decide which track I wanted to lead it on, based on the ship I wanted it to be, because it would affect the way I want to write the characters. I know they're OOC right now, but I wanted to write them out of their element, though still recognizable at least. I'm not sure if you will all like the route I'm thinking of taking, after seeing some of the comments and messages I've gotten, no one has really been able to guess, which makes me happy because it means it'll be unexpected. I don't know when I'll update again, but I can assure you all it won't take as long. I'd started out my semester at school pretty roughly, and now that it'll be ending soon (4 more weeks!) I'll be able to write muuuch more frequently. Anyway, thank you to all my readers and for all your comments, I look forward to writing more, hopefully you'll enjoy! And if anyone wants to beta read for me out there, please let me know! (This A/N was way longer than expected lol)
