I'm Here for You Always – Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroko no Basuke or any of the characters.
Every step he made his sky blue hair flew gently along with the wind. Not many people were out in the park today making it a quiet afternoon, not that he minds. The quietness of the park gave him a clear mind to think. He took out his phone and noticed the time. '1:00 PM already? I should probably head over to Kaijou… Kise-kun... Maybe he's at practice today?' The chance of the blonde being there brought hope to his usual expressionless blue eyes.
'Will he still come by?' Steel blue eyes anxiously looking between his team and the gym doors. To everyone else it looked like he was observing everyone, but only one member noticed his distraction. 'Mou, he's being too obvious…'
"The more distracted you are, the more noticeable. So stop worrying, I know my princess will come." Moriyama said as he walked up to the blushing Kaijou captain.
"S-SHUT UP! AND KUROKO ISN'T YOURS!" Kasamatsu stuttered getting ready to punch his teammate.
"Stop being so jealous Captain!" Moriyama laughed and skipped away from the captain before he could injure him.
Before Kasamatsu could chase after him he heard the gym doors open. A tuff of sky blue hair peeked through the doors. He watched as the blunette walked in looking around for something. His face fell seeing the familiar disappointment in those blue eyes. 'Stupid Kise…' Kasamatsu was about to head over to the bluenette but an irritating someone beat him to it.
"My princess, you are here to watch me? Or are you waiting for me to take you to my house this time?" Moriyama took Kuroko's chin and tilted his head up to look at him. "I'm sorry Moriyama-senpai, I have to kindly decline your offer. I've already missed a day of practice and I would rather not have Coach triple my training." Kuroko bowed slightly to the older boy.
"Ah, understandable love, maybe next time." He winked at the shadow.
"MORIYAMA! GET AWAY FROM KUROKO!" The Kaijou captain exclaimed getting closer to them.
"Our time alone is cut short my love." Moriyama smirked at the Kaijou captain as he leaned down to the blunette and kissed his forehead, which irritated the captain even more. Moriyama skipped away laughing once again to avoid the pain his captain was about to inflict.
"That Moriyama…" Kasamatsu cursed to which earned a smile from the blunette next to him.
"Moriyama-senpai sometimes reminds me of Prince Charming... Well, a more desperate one." Kasamatsu laughed at the comparison.
"Are you Cinderella then?" Kasamatsu joked.
"Yes I am. After all, I am his princess." The blunette said deadpanned. Before Kasamatsu could retort back, Moriyama pulled Kasamatsu away from the freshman.
"Maa, just because you're captain doesn't mean you get to neglect your duties! My princess will be here til the end of practice, so you can wait til then to socialize. Don't worry my princess, as your prince charming, I will come back for you!" Moriyama said while Kasamatsu tried to push him away in irritation.
"Ignore him Kuroko!" The Kaijou captain yelled back, earning him a smile from the freshman. 'I'm glad he's smiling now...' He thought as he watched the blunette walk to the benches to sit and watch.
Kaijou practice was almost over until the sound of the gym doors opened once again. The sounds of the ball dribbling stopped and silence filled the gym. All eyes were fixated on the familiar blonde that walked through the doors. Blue eyes widened at the sight of his blonde boyfriend being there.
"Kise, if you're actually here for practice, you're late." Moriyama broke the ice.
"No, I'm here to talk to Kasamatsu-senpai…" Kise said coldly. Kasamatsu was about to say something until Hayakawa interrupted.
"Kuroko is here. Shouldn't you talk to him?" The usual energetic boy was suddenly serious. Hearing that the blunette was present, golden eyes searched for familiar blue eyes. His eyes finally settled on the benches making eye contact with the blunette. He watched as the blunette started to walk towards them.
"Kise-kun…" Kuroko whispered. He wanted to reach out and touch the blonde to make sure he was really there.
"Kurokocchi." The blonde said acknowledging the shadow.
"Kise-kun, where have you been?"
"Gone."
"Why don't you answer your phone?"
"It's off."
"For the past couple weeks?"
"Work."
"Stop that!" Kuroko said in irritation with the short responses the blonde kept giving him.
"Why are you being so cold Kise-kun…?" Kuroko asked desperately, but received no answer. Kuroko moved foreward to the still blonde and wrapped his arms around the model's waist.
"I miss you Kise-kun…" The shadow said squeezing his arms tighter around the blonde's waist. They stayed like that for a couple minutes until he felt hands pushing his arms off the model's waist. Wide sky blue eyes looked up to the blonde's golden ones.
"I need to talk to Kasamatsu-senpai." Kise said coldly and turned his back to the blunette. The Kaijou team looked at Kuroko with sad eyes. He looked so… broken.
Kuroko didn't know what to do. Time stood still. His heart… broke. Does he not care? Did he do something wrong? Did he even miss him? Questions kept running through his mind. Did he still love him…? His heart hurt. He looked up at the blonde's back and suddenly anger began filled him.
"What is wrong with you Kise?!" Kuroko exclaimed making everyone surprised.
"I never see you anymore! No one does!" No answer.
"You're not even coming to practice! Why?! Are you even listening to me?!" Silence.
"ANSWER ME KISE!" Golden eyes finally looked back at him.
"Let's break up." Sky blue eyes widened.
"What…?" The blunette hoped he heard him wrong.
"I said let's break up." The blonde said coldly.
Everyone in the room stood still in silence due to the shock. All of this went down right in front of them. They all looked at Kuroko who looked like his whole world shattered. Kasamatsu was first to recover from his shock.
"Kise! Are you even considering his feelings?" The blonde shrugged at his captain.
"Why are you acting like this?! He's been coming here all the time in hopes of you being here only to be disappointed! He loves you so much and you don't even care! He has cried too many tears over someone who doesn't even deserve him!" Kasamatsu said angrily at the model who looked like he could care less.
"Then who do you think deserves him? You?" The blonde asked with a smirk.
"Huh?" Kasamatsu was left dumbfounded at the question.
"You think I haven't noticed your feelings for him? Good for you captain, you can have him now. He's a good lay." Kise smirked at the shocked and angry faces. He looked at the shadow. Kuroko stayed silent. His eyes looked dead. Cold golden eyes looked straight at the dead blue eyes. Suddenly, pain filled those golden eyes. Next thing he knew he was on the floor. He looked up to see his captain being pulled back by Moriyama and Kobori. He touched his cheek and winced at the pain as he got back up onto his feet.
"Why…?" A quiet voice asked. Everyone looked back at the shadow.
"Kise-kun, why?" Kuroko's voice cracked as he repeated his question. Silence filled the gym once more.
"Did you even love me?" He asked looking into the blonde's golden eyes for answers. Kise looked at him in silently. The blunette nodded and turned around walking back to the doors. Kasamatsu threw one last glare at the blonde before following after Kuroko.
No one saw the tear that fell before the gym doors closed.
