Aomine was sitting on a bench, leaning against the fence behind him. Kuroko's head was on his lap, and Kagami was beside him, his arm around his shoulders. They looked out at the outdoor court where they had been spending so much of their time recently, watching the shadows grow long as the sun disappeared behind a building.
"You stink," Kagami told Aomine, tapping his shoulder with his fingers.
"You're smelling yourself," he replied.
"You both stink," Kuroko said. "We have been playing basketball for a long time."
"Then you stink too," Kagami said.
"I smell like roses." Aomine flicked Kuroko on the forehead and told him to shut up.
"That hurt," he complained. Aomine protested, saying that it was only a flick, and not even a hard one. "Kiss it better, Taiga." Kagami obeyed. Aomine glared at him, so he quickly kissed him too.
They'd been dating for three months, but it felt like longer. No one on either of their teams knew. They weren't sure if they would ever tell them. Kise had figured it out, somehow, when they'd run into him in a restaurant awhile back, and they'd explained it to him as well as they could, interrupting each other to fill in details. He didn't seem to think it was that weird. Hopefully. Despite the semi-secretive nature of their relationship, they went out together often. Kagami still held Kuroko's hand in public. Aomine claimed he didn't want to, anyways, so it wasn't worth the risk.
Kuroko nuzzled his face against Aomine's stomach, then sat up slowly.
"We should head home," he said. Both his boyfriends agreed. Kagami cracked his back and stood up to stretch, and Aomine yawned. He demanded to be carried home. Kuroko threatened to leave him behind, so he forced himself up with a groan. They walked shoulder to shoulder, Kuroko's hand in Kagami's. Kagami loosely hooked his pinky around Aomine's, the backs of their hands brushing together, then let go.
"It's three months today, right?" Kagami said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah."
"Yes."
"It's surreal," he continued. "I can hardly even figure out how we ended up like this, all three of us."
"It makes sense to me," Aomine said. "Looking back now, it all fit together, like fate." Kagami grinned at him.
"Ha!" he said. "I didn't know you could be so mushy Daiki!
"Shut up." Aomine punched him in the arm. Kagami could've sworn his face was turning red. He had to force himself not to smile all the way home.
