Round 3

Murasakibara was happy Today, because Today was a Saturday, which means he can take the Shinkansen (*the Japanese railway) to Tokyo and eat his favorite sweets in his favorite Café again. He looked at the message that he received from his coach about their weekend training and ignored it, because he knew that the coach would never get really angry at him if he doesn't show up. Beside he never really cared about basketball since 90% of his brain is all about sweets, while only 5% is about basketball (*the rest of the 5% is up for your imagination ^^ )

When he entered the shop his eyes started to search for a certain person by its own. When he finally found his target an unfamiliar feeling raised inside of him, which was not pleasant. The 'small' brown hair man with a ridiculous pink apron on which didn't suited him (?) was smiling like an idiot and chatting with 3 female customers by their table happily.

Teppei suddenly realized Murasakibara presence, which was quite easy since all the customers suddenly looked toward the outstanding giant who entered the café. He made a polite bow to the girls and walked toward Murasakibara with his trademark big gentle smile and greeted him.

"Hello Murasakibara-kun"

"…Why are you here again? Don't you have any basketball trainings to do? I am sure all your teammates are practicing very hard right now for the inter high."

Teppei was a little taken aback by the cold and slightly annoyed voice of him. He tried to think back of things he had said or did that might have offended him, but since he couldn't think of any he could only assume that Murasakibara just had a bad day.

"Well… you know the condition of my leg… The doctor suggested me to cut down my load on my knee, so I agreed with the coach that I won't join their extra trainings from now on…"

Although Teppei was still smiling like an idiot, but he still couldn't lie with his sadden eyes and heavy tone.

"Anyway, thanks for the help from the last time Murasakibara-kun. In order to show you my gratitude I would like to ask you to be the first person to taste the first cake that I has ever made in my whole life, what do you say?" The sad eyes were suddenly replaced by expectation.

Murasakibara nodded.

"Great! Please sit down, I'll be right back!" Teppei disappeared into the kitchen and came out with a yellowish and brownish cake. He placed the cake in front of Murasakibara with a huge smile.

"I remember how much you wanted our limited edition banana chocolate cake first time I met you here, but the recipe for that cake is a secret from our shop owner, so I made you another version of banana chocolate cake which the owner taught me. Although it won't taste as good as our best sold cake, but I hope you will still like it. And please be honest about the taste of the cake since this is my first try". Teppei eyes were shining by expectation, and Murasakibara almost smiled by an image of Teppei with a pair of star eyes like the characters from the shojo mangas. (*shojo manga means girl genre manga)

Murasakibara cut a big slice of the cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

"How was it?" Teppei asked excited.

"Very good… I love it!" Unexpectedly, Murasakibara lifted his giant hand and started to pat Teppei's head like he does to Kuroko while eating his cake happily.

Once again Teppei's face turned into crimson red when he realized all the customers were looking at them with curiosity, and some of the girls were even looking at them with excitement.

Why do I have to blush every freaking time in front of him? Someone please kill… I mean punch me for behaving like a girl! And please stop patting me like you do to Kuroko, because patting on a huge guy like me looks ridiculous… but I don't have the heart to tell him because he looks really happy right now….

Dear God or Buddha, please let there be an earthquake to save me from this embarrassing moment, a-men!

TBC.
