It had been six years since the fashion show, and six years since Kagami and Kuroko moved on to their second year of high school. Now they were in college. They were still together, of course, but they rarely managed to get together to go on dates.
They went to different colleges from different towns. Kuroko stayed at the dorms, while Kagami stayed at his apartment. Kuroko went to a university for his active drama career (as he had been the lead in a few school productions because of his ability to play both boy and girl parts) whereas Kagami attended school on a basketball scholarship along with Aomine.
Of course, Kagami called and texted often, and of course when Kuroko wasn't rehearsing for a play he would go and watch a basketball game, and of course Kagami was the first to receive a ticket to musicals, but usually couldn't make it because of their schedules. So of course both of them figured they would have to call it quits, and soon.
But of course, neither wanted to admit it.
Kagami was the first to mention this. It was after a long rehearsal on Kuroko's side; on Kagami's, he'd been training with an American coach all day. When Kagami called, it was obvious he had just gotten done practicing. Kuroko picked up the phone, walking into the hall to answer. "Hello?"
"Kuroko," Kagami panted, out of breath.
"Kagami kun," Kuroko smiled. He had gotten in a habit of smiling whenever he heard that voice.
"We need...to talk," Kagami's panting was starting to go away.
"About?"
"Our relationship. Kuroko, we hardly ever see each other."
"How about dinner-"
"No, Kuroko...one date won't solve this. I think we need to break things off." He waited for a response, but Kuroko couldn't give one. His mouth was hanging half-open in surprise. After a bit, Kagami continued. "I'm sorry, Kuroko. I love you, but it isn't working anymore. I hope we can still be friends." The line went dead.
Kuroko stopped calling Kagami after that.
