CHAPTER TWO

"Ka-Kasamatsu Yukio? As in...as in, the captain of the basketball team of Kaijo!?" This time, it was Hyuuga who screeched.

Kuroko was worried about the safety of his ear drums if he didn't have good reflexes in covering it his ears. Is that how everyone is going to react if he told them that his step brother is the famous captain of Kaijo's basketball club?

"That isn't the issue right now!" Riko said with a worried look on her face. The rest of the team turned to her with a confused look on their faces. If that wasn't the big issue right now, then what is?

"Come on, don't tell me you forgot the other famous person who goes to Kaijo." the female coach gave her players a look, as if to say 'Are you really this stupid to realize what I'm talking about?'

"Oh...OHHHHH!" Kagami then, realized what their coach was talking about.

"Ah...Kise-kun goes to Kaijo as well...I almost forgot." the teal haired male muttered with a horrified look on his face. Well, as horrified as it could get. How would he survive high school in Kaijo if Kise would be there as well? At this thought, Kuroko suddenly remembered all those traumatizing times when Kise would look for him, call him, hug him tightly and follow him around like a puppy.

"K-kuroko looks like he's remembering something awful." Izuki said with a worried look on his face as the teal haired male sulk and shiver in the corner.

"Shouldn't we concentrate on giving Kuroko his last week meaningful memories?" Tsuchida suggested. This whole scene was making him worried for his team mate's sanity.

"Ah! That's right! We're going to make your last week here in Seirin so memorable that you'll be thinking about it everyday!"

'Our coach is so scary...' was the thought that was on everyone's mind.

"You...you stay away from the him when he gets here next week." Kasamatsu said with a glare.

"E-ehhh! B-but why!" Kise was confused on as to why his sempai was glaring at him like that! His step brother isn't even here yet, Kasamatsu's already being protective! It's not like he's going to do something wrong against the guy! "But at least tell me how he's like, sempai!"

The senior sighed. There's really no helping it. Kise would just pester him until he got his questions answered. But he was half-worried about his kohai's reaction and the safety of his younger step brother's sanity. He remembered all those times Kise would talk about the teal haired male as if he was a god...or a goddess.

"Well, that Kuroko kid from Seirin. His mom married my dad and he's going to transfer here next wee-"

Before Kasamatsu can finish his sentence, Kise has ran out to the gym, screaming in joy with his face covered in tears of happiness.

"...maybe I shouldn't have said anything."

It was aleady Kuroko's last day in Seirin,and RIko had planned for all of them to stay over night at school for some star gazing. She already had asked permission from the teachers, and her request was approved (the team wondered how she was able to do that when they were banned on the rooftop). So after practice, they stopped by at their homes to pick up their things and head back to school. It was a fun night for them. Kagami and Mitobe brought some homemade snacks, the freshman trio brought drinks, and Kuroko himself brought a camera. They shared many things about their life - embarrassing childhood memories, first crush, and their love for basketball.

Kuroko was glad that he met them all. This basketball team he loves so much...he wished he doesn't have to leave them but this isn't the last time they will meet. They can still play basketball together in their free time. And with a smile, he placed his camera on the tripod and switched it on timer. He hurriedly moves with the rest of the team as they smiled for the picture.

Yes, it was the best night Kuroko ever had.

Kasamatsu nervously paced around in the living room. They were going to arrive any minute. Does he look ok? Will she like him? Will Kuroko accept him as an older brother?

Yuuta chuckled "Yukio, don't worry, Manami will love you! And I'm sure Tetsuya-kun will like you too! He's polite but also a little shy. You'll take good care of him."

'But I still can't help but to be nervous.' Kasamatsu thought as he finally sat down beside his father on the couch.

Some of Kuroko's things were already moved to what used to be the guest room, and Kasamatsu took liberty in arranging them in order. The teal haired male didn't have much, other than the wide collection of various kinds of books. He was amazed on how Kuroko could read so much.

Kasamatsu popped out of his reverie when he heard the door bell ring. He turned to the door where he sees his father already there, opening the door for Manami and Kuroko. Yuuta and Manami shared a small kiss, while Kuroko greeted Yuuta with a 'good afternoon'. Yuuta chuckled as he gave Kuroko a pat on the head and greeted back. The teal haired male then turned to him.

He felt his heart beat fast. What should he say? What should he react?

But Kuroko just smiled at him and gave him a greeting "Good afternoon Kasamatsu-sempai."

"A-ah..good afternoon to you too, Kuroko."

"Ara! You two know each other?" Manami clasped her hands in excitement. The young woman, who was formerly Kuroko Manami, now Kasamatsu Manami, is a beautiful woman with mid-length teal hair that was slightly wavy. Her eyes were of the color of the sky, and was shining brightly. It seems that Kuroko inherited most of his genes from his mother.

"We had a practice match in Kaijo before." Kuroko informed his mother.

"Then that's good! The two of you can play basketball together in your free time!" Yuuta suggested with a bright smile on his face.

Kasamatsu didn't know what to do. He felt awkward in a situation like this. He lost his mom when he was young, and was a single child. Up until now. This was all new to him and he doesn't have the slightest idea how to handle it. Will he be a good brother to Kuroko? Will he be able to live up to Manami-san's expectations?

"Yukio, why don't you bring Tetsuya-kun to his room?" The older Kasamatsu nudged his son's shoulder to stop him from over thinking and faint right there. Really, his son thinks too much!

"Oh, r-right. This way Kuroko."Yukio coughed in embarrassment as he stood from the couch as he motioned for the teal haired boy to follow him.

Kuroko nodded as he followed the older teen upstairs.

"Do you think Yukio-kun will like Tetsuya?" Manami suddenly asks.

"You should've seen the look on his face honey. He was worried that Tetsiya-kun might not like him." Yuuta chuckles.

The teal haired lady chuckles as well "Tetsuya is a nice boy. He gets along with almost everyone. I'm sure he will like Yukio-kun too."

"Yea, I'm sure Yukio will Tetsuya-kun too."

"Here's your room. I...I arranged some of your stuff, if you don't mind." Kasamatsu nervously opens the door as he let the teal haired male in.

"Thank you very much Kasamatsu-sempai. That was very thoughtful of you." Kuroko smiles at the older teen as he stepped inside his room to put down his bag. He looked at his bookshelves, and was surprised to see it arranged alphabetically. It must have taken a while to do that considering the amount of books he had but the older teen did it anyways.

"A-anyways, if you need me, I'll be in my room, right next to yours." Kasamatsu muttered as he silently closes the door, leaving the teal haired male alone.

Kuroko sighed as he laid on the bed. Will Kasamatsu-sempai like him? He never had an older brother before. His father had left him and his mother for another family and he has been a single child up until now. He never had an older brother before and it felt alien to him. He wasn't the type to depend on someone and older brothers are that. People you depend on. Kuroko wasn't sure if he could do that. He was capable of doing everything on his own...

He took a last look on the book shelf before blushing and turning away.

But maybe it isn't so bad to have a big brother.
