A soft knock on Kuroko's knoggin snapped him out of his thoughts. Sky blue eyes trailed up to the hand and was met with worried red eyes, "Kagami-kun," he greeted.

The ace frowned when he noticed his tone seems more bland than normal, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing's wrong with me," came Kuroko's immediate reply.

"Uh-huh," Kagami wasn't convinced. "Well, we should go then before we're late to practice."

~Before practice in the locker room~

"You know," Kagami drawled out to the shadow as they were changing, "you can visit Higurashi if you're that worried about her."

His statement caught the others' attention. They slowly turned towards the still-changing phantom.

"Oh yeah…" Kiyoshi started, "Higurashi and Kuroko went out on their first date yesterday, right?"

"Didn't it rain?" Hyuga asked.

Riko nodded, "It did."

"So what happened?" Kagami asked on behalf of the others.

"We got soaked," Kuroko answered simply.

"Oh my gosh, are you both okay?" Riko was worried.

"Clearly, I am fine. Kagome-san on the other hand…"

"Is that why she's absent today?" Furihata asked.

"Yes."

The rest stared at the shadow before silently agreeing.

"You should visit Higurashi-chan to see how well she's doing," Riko told him.

Kuroko blinked, "What about practice?"

"You're excused."

Kuroko pondered about it for a short moment before a small smile appeared on his face, "Thank you, coach." He bowed respectfully before getting his things and dashing out of the locker room, not bothering to change anymore.

His teammates just looked on in amusement before resuming the their task at hand.

~Higurashi Shrine~

Kuroko was lightly panting. He actually ran the stairs and he's regretting it, but he's just too worried for his friend—hopefully, more than a friend in the future.

When the door opened, he didn't expect for the raven herself to greet him.

Her blue eyes went wide then a dark blush overcame her face, "K-Kuroko-kun! What are you doing here?"

"I came to see how well you're doing…You got sick because of our date," he said sadly, but it was hard to detect.

A soft smile played on her lips, "You could not have known that it was going to rain yesterday."

"But still…"

"It wasn't your fault, Kuroko-kun," Kagome shook her head before opening the door wider, welcoming him to their humble abode. "You should've told me, you were coming. I look like a mess," she directed him towards the living room area before going to the kitchen to prepare some snacks and tea.

On their date, she wore a casual summer dress. The top part was white with a mint green, polka-dotted ribbon on the strap. The skirt part was also the same color and design as the ribbon. A brown belt was around her waist, accentuating her figure, with a bow as a finishing touch.

Now, she was wearing a pair of grey sweatpants, rolled up to her knees, and an oversized, white, V-neck shirt with her dark, wavy tresses in a messy bun with strands framing her face.

There's one thing in common in both outfits and it was:

The way she looks good no matter what she wears.

"You still look amazing to me, Kagome-san," and Kuroko told her just that. He heard a slight pause in her movements and smiled to himself. He can already imagine her blushing face.
