It has been too long, Kagami thought as he marched through the halls of Seirin. I will find her. He began by asking Hyuuga and Kiyoshi if they knew of any girls with dark purple hair who had the most stunning blue eyes, but they responded with a negative answer.

As to be expected.

Soon Kagami had begun to ask all the first years. After all, the girl couldn't have been in a second year or third year class. She was too small to be older than Kagami.

Kuroko, who was in the same class as Kagami, couldn't help but overhear, what with his loud mouth that forces words to carry through the air even when he doesn't want to be heard by everyone within a mile radius. "Does anyone know of a girl from around here with long purple hair and blue eyes?! Anyone?!"

Oh boy, he sounded desperate, Kuroko thought, and then it hit him. An idea. One almost as ridiculous as Kise throwing a masquerade ball and giving invitations to his favorite competitors in basketball. Almost as ridiculous as falling for a boy who thinks you're a girl. No, not quite as ridiculous, but he hadn't gone to school dressed like a girl for about a month now...

In fact, it would be one month without crossdressing tomorrow.

Whatever. He was willing to give up his 'clean streak' if it meant making the redhead happy.

Wait, since when did his happiness matter?

He shrugged off the thought, rushing home as soon as school ended. He had to plan out a gym outfit, definitely, and pick out makeup for the next day...

His excitement kept him up late that night.

The next morning, he pulled the purple wig from its mannequin head, repeating the process of brushing out all the tangles. He clipped his hair back and placed the wig on his head carefully, pinning in on. He brushed it back into a neat ponytail, putting on makeup. After he had finished with the eyeliner, he went to search his closet for the womens' uniform.

Kagami rushed into the office just seconds after Kuroko had finished talking with the principal. "Excuse me, but do you know of-" he stopped dead in his tracks as Kirimi Tetsuya came out of the principal's office, wearing a bright smile.

It felt so good to be noticed for once.

Kagami approached the girl cautiously. "You were at Kise Ryouta's masquerade party a couple weeks ago, right?"

She nodded, smiling a little wider.

"I apologize. I never got your name."

"Kirimi," she squeaked. "Kirimi Tetsuya."

"Kirimi," he repeated. "My name is Kagami Taiga. May I show you around?"

She nodded, still beaming. Kagami smiled, taking her hand and leading her out of the office. The nervousness was evident; his palm was sweaty, his voice cracked just slightly when he spoke, and we wore a faint blush while he gave her the tour. He stopped at the end of the last hallway. "And I think that's all," he said as a conclusion statement.

"Thank you for showing me around, Kagami," she smiled up at him. He nodded with a grin.

"My pleasure. Uh, Kirimi?"

"Yes?"

"I was wondering if you would...maybe, I don't know...be my girlfriend?"

"Yes," she replied much too soon and without taking the question to thought.

"Really?!" Kagami hugged her, smiling brightly. "Thank you! You don't know how much I have wanted to see you again, I couldn't get you out of my mind!"

"I could say the same," she smiled just as happily as her new boyfriend.

This couldn't really count as being gay...could it?

I don't care if it does,'the thought came out of nowhere. I would date him anyways.
