Kise could feel both Aomine and Kagami stiffen on either side of him, their arms tightening almost painfully around him as they tried to gather their wits.
"Stop fucking around, Kise," sneered Aomine, not amused by his idea of a joke, "That's not funny. I know you're feeling shitty right now and you have all the reason to be, but I still can't excuse that, even from you. Kagami just became mine, so don't try and meddle in."
"Um, Aomine… I don't think Kise is kidding around, he looks pretty serious to me," whispered Kagami, whose face was staring at Kise's in suspicion, expecting that at any second now his face would morph into one of delight as he let out one of his customary laughs at having fooled them. Instead, his features hardened, pulling Kagami closer to himself.
"I'm not playing. Like Aominecchi said, you're a sweet guy, aren't you Kagamicchi? I have a feeling that were I so inclined, I could make you leave Aominecchi to me out of sheer guilt. Buuuut I'm not that kind of guy, that's a bit too petty for my tastes. Besides, I actually want the two of you to be happy, you yourself have done nothing wrong to me, and I still love Aominecchi. However, I don't think it's fair for me to be left out in the cold, especially when I know that Aominecchi still has to have some feelings for me. I wouldn't have come back here if I didn't believe that in the slightest." Turning his head to the side so that he could address Aomine, Kise continued, "You don't completely have to give up on me… Daiki."
To say that Aomine was surprised would be an understatement. Kise wasn't wrong, he did still have feelings for him, hell they broke up less than 24 hours ago, but Aomine has realized that they aren't as strong as he thought they'd been, that there's more to a relationship than what he and Kise had. The problem is that now that this possibility has presented itself, he can't help but think of what a proper relationship with Kise could be like.
"First of all, what the fuck? How pretentious of you—and don't give me that look for using that word, that's exactly what I mean, you don't know me! You can't make me leave Aomine for such a reason, what do I have to be guilty over?" Breathing harshliy Kagami turns to look at Aomine and is surprised by what he finds. "You can't be serious… Aomi—no, Daiki, do you really want to try this?" asked Kagami, trying to mask his distress. "Don't lie, just be honest. I don't want us to end up having a shitty relationship just because you feel like you lost out on something. I see that look on your face; you look like you don't know what to do, so that means you're considering it."
Aomine's gulp was audible as he looked between Kagami and Kise, debating whether or not he should answer. But he knew that Kagami was right. "Y-yeah, I am. I don't know why, but fuck, I am. It's not like I want to though!" he yelled out in frustration at seeing Kagamis eyes dim at his accordance.
"Shh, Daiki, don't panic, maybe we should have this conversation somewhere else," suggested Kise, looking back and forth between Kagami and Aomine. When he saw both boys break their heated stares away from each other and instead directing it to some random object in the room, his own ire began to grow. 'Why the hell does everything have to revolve around them two? Well, we'll just have to change that; I'm not putting up with that shit anymore.'
Loosening his arms from around Kagami's sides, Kise crossed his wrists around Kagami's neck, bringing Kagami's attention back to him. "Kise, wh—"
The petal like lips pressing against his own cut his words off, freezing him on the spot.
Aomine watched with wide eyes and his heart racing as Kise trailed soft kisses from Kagami's lips down to the junction of his neck, causing Kagami's breath to hitch. Aomine could feel himself harden, and making up his mind, he moved himself from behind Kise to stand behind Kagami insead, reaching in between their two bodies to wrap his hands around Kagami's hips as he began laying kisses on Kagami's neck as well. He wanted to calm Kagami down,who had a bewildered expression on his face, but more than anything, he wanted to pursue the idea of a threesome between them.
Kagami moaned at feeling Aomine's touch once again, not being able to deny the fact that Aomine had more of an effect on him than he would have ever thought possible. It was enough to make him consider Kise's offer, besides it's not like he disliked what Kise was doing to him.
Kise's eyes narrowed as he saw the effect he and Aomine were having on Kagami. 'I'll be honest, I didn't know if either one of them would even humor my suggestion, but I knew that if push came to shove, Kagamicchi would be the one I would really have to convince. It's surprising how easy this was though.'
The hands suddenly pushing him away made him think he jinxed himself though.
"No, uh-uh, no way. I'm not doing this. I just had my first damn kiss a little while ago and I'm not about to go have a threesome with the guy who just asked me out and his ex who just broke up with him. I can't believe I actually considered this shit, what the fuck is wrong with me?" Kagami asked as he stepped away from the two other teens. Picking up his discarded coat, he grabbed it and headed for the door, ignoring the calls behind him. He quickly made his way outside before he felt two hands grabbing him by each shoulder. He tried shrugging them off but he, Kise and Aomine are about equal in strength, so it ended up not doing much at all. Looking at them over his shoulder, he growled out a harsh "What?" before continuing making his way down the street and towards his own home.
"What do you mean what? You left just like that! Why did you let me kiss you if you didn't want it then?" asked Kise, having let go of Kagami's shoulder in favor of walking next to him to be able to look at the expressions that overtook Kagami's features and gage what he was feeling.
"I didn't expect it, okay? And I didn't push you away right afterwards because I thought I might be able to do this for Aomine because he looks like he really wants it, but I can't. I think what you did to him was really messed up, and then for you to come waltzing back in to his life like that, regardless of whether I'm with him or not, is messed up too. You're being so nonchalant—and don't look at me like that, you don't know me, I know more than 2 syllable words thank you very much, yeah so anyway you're being so damn nonchalant as if its only your feelings that matter. And yeah ok, I know you were hurt while you were with Aomine, but the fact that you're only here because you were rejected by someone else says that you care less about who you're with and more about just being with someone. You know, I bet you knew that your sempai didn't want you, but you chased him anyway, I think you have a thing for guys that show you no interest. I hope you don't start catching feelings for me now." Kagami was out of breath by the time he finished, sparing no glance to Kise who had fallen silent in shock at what he'd just heard as he climbed the stairs leading up to his apartment building. Looking behind him he saw Aomine looking down at the ground contemplatively, and the lost look in his eyes pulled at his heart strings.
"Daiki… did you put away the bottles before you rushed out here?"
"Huh? Oh, uh yeah, I hid them behind a bunch of stuff, so s'cool," Aomine replied, not really paying attention as turned to look at Kise. "Was he right?"
A guilty look washed over Kise's face, but it was quickly replaced by one of anger, and just as he was about to retort Kagami jumped in, "Oh hell no, you two are about to come in to my home. I've never had any arguments or fights with anyone here, and I wanna keep it that way." He shoved his key into the doors lock and let them inside where they all took off their shoes. Taking their coats and placing them on some hooks he'd put up behind the door for that exact purpose, he told them to sit down on his couch while he went to the kitchen to grab them some water. As he was taking out the glasses from the cupboards, he heard Alex calling out for him.
"Yeah, I'm in the kitchen Alex!" he yelled out, filling up three glasses and placing them on a tray and making his way to the living room. There he found Aomine and Kise starring up at Alex from their seats on the couch. Kise formally introduced himself to her, reminding her that he'd met her a few days ago at the winter cup during the whole mess with Haizaki. For his part Aomine let out a dull "Yo," while trying to inconspicuously stare at her breasts. Didn't work.
"Stop starring at her boobs perv," Kagami whispered in his ear as he handed him his water, "you're like a dirty old man."
Glaring, Aomine griped back, "Well this dirty old man was making you moan like a bitch in heat earlier, so what does that say about you, dumbass?"
Scandalized, Kagami pulled back from Aomine's side as though burned, catching the attention of Alex, especially when Kagami's face began resembling the same shade of red as his hair. Raising a brow she sat beside Kagami, forcing the four of them to be squeezed together on the couch. Kagami looked over at her, about to ask her if she could sit on the chair sitting a few feet away, but had the words catch in his throat once he saw the mischievous look in her eyes. Feeling that he was about to regret his decision to bring the two other teens to his home when he had someone like Alex waiting in it, Kagami tried to bring up a safe topic of conversation.
"So! Alex! You know these two, right? The Winter Cup was awesome. Kise did that whole Perfect Copy thing, which was really neat, and you can't forget about Aomine! Man, the zone? Remember that? All because of this guy right here" he half stated half yelled as he put his arm around Aomine's shoulder, the owner of which was staring at him as though he's lost his mind. No one spoke, the silence deafining in Kagami's ears, at which point he began to sweat as he saw the grin slowly stretching on Alex face in reaction to his antics.
"Ahahaha, oh my god, what did you say to Taiga to make him act like that, I've never seen him so nervous!" she asked, pushing Kagami aside and forcing herself between he and Aomine this time.
Aomine, not used to any other girls but Momoi approach him so boldly, leaned back a bit, glancing at Kagami over Alex's shoulder and giving him a silent plea for help. Kagami on the other hand was frantic, shaking his head back and forth while trying to mouth out "don't say anything" to Aomine, which of course ended up looking nothing like that. Kise couldn't help but giggle, but was also rather curious as to what had Kagami so desperate.
Feeling the intense movement behind her, Alex turned to Kagami and pulled him towards her, making him sit on her lap. "Did you really want your seat that badly? Sorry, but I have never seen you like this, this Aomine guy really works you up, huh? First the zone like you said, then he has you blushing like a virgin, or well you I guess, and now you don't want him to talk to me. What's going on Taiga?" she questioned, struggling to keep him from trying to get off her lap.
"Ugh, nothing! I'm serious! He was just being himself and saying dumb stuff and it pissed me off, nothing to make a big deal over Alex, so forget about it," replied Kagami, giving up his battle with Alex and hoping that soon his weight will be too much for her to bother to continue trying to humiliate him.
"You were the one who made a big deal about it by reacting that way, you usually don't react to anything but challenges, people offending you or girls tears. But you never blush from any of those things, so I can't help but be curious, geez." Turning back to Aomine and Kise she asked the latter, "Is Taiga always like this around Aomine?"
"Uhhhh, yeah?" answered Kise, looking between the two of them, and noticing the dual glares he received in response from said teens, he decided to be a bit mean as payback for everything he'd been through the entire morning. "But, I think they'll be getting along a lot better now, you know since they're boyf—"
"NO!" both Aomine and Kagami yelled out simultaneously, neither wanting Alex to know, but for separate reasons. Aside from Kise and Kagami, no one knew Aomine was interested in guys, and he wanted to keep it that way as long as possible, not wanting the backlash he would receive for being "different", "sick" or "perverted" as so many he'd known growing up had referred to homosexuality. He knew Alex was American, but that didn't automatically mean she was accepting of it just because she lived in a country that was pretty open about it. Kagami on the other hand knew that Alex was in fact accepting and completely supportive of homosexuality and gay rights. He just didn't want to tell her because Alex would never leave him alone about it, she'd told him that she couldn't wait to see the type of person he's go out with, which he took as that she couldn't wait to bombard his significant other with embarrassing details of his past so that they could laugh at him together.
Alex frowned as she began to piece together what Kise had attempted to say. "Boy… friends?"
AN: I really hope that you're all enjoying this and that I'm keeping everyone even remotely OC despite all the... well you know. I'm trying to veer this story back to my original plot idea, and in response to one of the comments I received, the reason the pairings were made so soon in the last chapter was because I was going to end the fic in this chapter, since I strayed off onto a new plot. I'm totally forgoing that sooo I'm attempting to make everything seem as plausible as possible given the circumstances without it all seeming like they're moving to quickly, which I totally feel like that's the case. I think I need a beta, so if you're interested please let me know! Or if you have any suggestions, or feedback, let me know too, it'd be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry I take so long to update, but ever since I started moving this fic away from where I wanted it to go, I wasn't feeling motivated to write. It's coming back though, so thank you for sticking with me 3
