Author's note: I'm sorry for the late update. I tried to type as fast as I can because I will be gone for a week. I'm spending the week with my family in celebration for granny's 89th birthday. Sorry! Because of that, I've got no laptop. But as soon as I get home, I'll write the next chapter.
That's why this one's longer than the rest.. I'm sorry.. -.-'
Bonds
Today, they will have a meeting concerning their upcoming performance. They still needed to make a decision on which school and they still needed to pick the songs, at least 3 songs, Aida said, but in honor of their new member, they will be singing 4 songs and Kuroko will get to pick the last song. They will announce Kuroko's membership in public. after all, everything had to be special.
So here is she now, sitting across a contented a Kagami eating his burgers with no care. After confessing to himself that he had a crush on Kuroko, it helped him clear his mind. Not only that, he had been happy for no reason at all.
It's not like she's disappointed or anything in fact, she's happy. Kiyoshi said that they can call each other with their nicknames like before. It's just that, she's gonna be exposed to the world. Unlike Kagami, she was a nobody. Fitting in would be an impossible task for her. 'I can still use my misdirection though. But, they'll remember either way.'
"Hey, You're spacin' out." Kagami stated. Tossing Kuroko a burger, he asked. "Are you okay?"
Kuroko frowned at Kagami before accepting the burger. "Thank you." She mumbled. "I'am fine. Thank you for worrying Kagami-kun."
"You sure? You've been acting weird."
"Weird?"
"Yeah." He sighed. "You seemed more spaced out than usual."
"I'm sorry.. Just nervous is all."
"'Bout what?"
"Performance. Would they like me? Or predictably hate me?"
"Jatcht juch a weec jaway. Ont wowy, wal bish praktiching dis weec, sho djon't swetch chit. (That's just a week away. Don't worry, we'll be practicing this week so don't sweat it.)" Kagami encouraged despite his mouth full of his burgers.
"I really can't understand you…"
"I said—" But he was cut off by Kuroko, looking outside the window as she continued babbling.
"— If you continue to eat like that, you will be laughed at at your poor table manners. Not only that but, if you continue and make it a hobby of yours you'll die eventually because you will choke and lack oxygen." She stated as she busied herself drinking her Vanilla Shake. "You wi—" She stopped however at the sound of a whimpering puppy? No, a choking sound..
Turning towards Kagami, her eyes narrowed slightly at a Kagami holding his throat, a blush on his face due to lack of oxygen and his mouth open, gasping for air.
As if on cue, Kagami choked. He really did. Did she really not care when he'll die? Was she praying for that to happen to him from the start? He didn't know why the hell he's choking in the first place anyways.
"K-Kagami-kun!" Kuroko raised her voice, slightly. Her eyes, looking at Kagami with concern. She stood up from her place, settled besides Kagami, and started to pat his back hardly. After seconds of doing that, she offered him her vanilla milkshake, seeing that the water will take time to arrive.
Kagami took the offered drink, not bothering with what it was. His life was on the life here God damn it! His throat hurts so much he could vomit it. Drinking it with his descending speed, he calmed down. Kuroko continued her ministrations on Kagami's back as she looked at Kagami with concern. "You scared me there, Kagami-kun."
Kagami looked at her, shrugging. Before the words pierced through his small brain. 'She was concerned…? A-About me..?' "You concerned?" he shrugged. Thinking as if she'd say 'yes'.
"Of course!" Kuroko raised her voice slightly.
"Yeah, yeah.." He shrugged. "… Huh?" Kagami looked at her straight in the eye.
"I'm concerned of Kagami-kun because you are my friend." She stated seriously, but, she was back to the ever-stoic Kuroko once again.
Kagami choked on the vanilla shake again. But even though he was choking, he couldn't care less. She was concerned for him. One way or another, that made him… happy somehow. And she said they were friends too!
'That's a start right? Afterall, couples kiss and stuff, but they were friends at first.' Nodding to himself at his acceptable knowledge, he smiled a bit. He's so cheeky right now. So sappy. Why the fuck is he so happy over the small things Kuroko did?
"Kagami-kun!" Kuroko hit Kagami's back hard. He's choking for nearly a minute! He's not even doing anything to save himself! Either swallow or spit it out!
The harsh contact made Kagami forcibly swallow the remains of the Vanilla shake in his throat. Turning to Kuroko, he nearly yelled "What the hell was that for?!"
"You were choking.." she stated.
"I know! It was obvious! Why'd you hit me hard?"
"You never bothered helping yourself, so I worked harder to save you." Kuroko frowned. "And besides Kagami-kun, you now owe a vanilla shake." She huffed and.. Was that a pout Kagami sees?
"What are you going on about?" He asked, ignoring the growing heat on his cheeks, 'Damn her small smiles and pouts', he stared at her, confused at her as she pointed at a drink on his hand.
"Because Kagami-kun was choking, I used my Vanilla shake to rescue you. You now drank all of it when I didn't even get to drink half of it." She explained carefully. 'He's a child at times.' She reasoned mentally.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Y-You're telling me that I was drinking your Vanilla milkshake?! You gave me the same straw?!" He blushed red.
"I didn't have time to. I know it's gross, but Kagami-kun needed help. It was an emergency. I don't have anything diseases so it's okay." She reasoned out, still nonchalant. Why was he making a big deal of this anyways? Vanilla shakes are yummy. Though that was her opinion.
'I-I shared an indirect kiss with.. w-with K-Ku-Kuroko!
'I shared an indirect kiss with Kuroko'
'I shared an indirect kiss with Kuroko'
'I shared an indirect kiss with Kuroko'
'Holy Shit!'
Kagami choked yet again. But this time, with his own saliva. The thought of Kuroko giving him a kiss blew him out of his mind! Though it was an indirect, it still was a kiss to Kagami. That's how his mind works. He's exaggerating and he knows it, but shit, his damn happy!
Kuroko was concerned with him.
Kuroko gave him her beloved vanilla shake when, as he learned from trhe times they spent together, that she never gave anyone her vanilla shake.
'It's happening so fast, I thought I'd just ignore my small crush! B-But, I really can't stop my h-heart!'
He sounded so cheeky and he knows it. She's making him weak to the knees. He went through all the choking over pointless things, the blush on small gestures from her and it was all her doing. But he didn't mind at all.
If anything, he's happy. At least his crush cared for him.
'She'll be the death of me.' Was his last thought before seeing black.
"—Gami-kun!"
His eyelids were so heavy. He didn't want to leave the warmth of.. flesh? Knitting he eyebrows in confusion, he touched the back of his head, wear his head was resting. It was smooth and milky. So nice and warm. It's silky too! He stroked the thing, liking how it meets his fingers. Unaware of his growing goofy smile.
Smack!
Kagami's eyes shot open, he sat up as he groaned and took in the sight. "What the hell?" he muttered lazily.
"You pervert! Don't touch Hime-chan's legs like that! You even wore perverted grin! Unbelievable!" Kiyoshi yelled. He must be the one to smack him.
"Legs?" Looking down on his hand, his eyes narrowed, a blush staining his cheeks. "It was a leg? I-It wasn't a p-pillow?" Looking up, he saw Kuroko. Her cheeks were stained with a blush, while her lips were curved in a frown.
"I didn't know you were a pervert Kagami-kun."
"I-I didn't know! I swear!"
Kuroko just frowned and looked away. "Why don't you stand up, Kagami-kun. I'd like to stretch my legs if you please."
"O-okay.." Landing his feet on the floor, he stood up slowly, before sitting down in between an angry Kuroko and an angry Kiyoshi as well.
"W-What happened?" he asked Kiyoshi, who still by the way, looked mad.
"Hime-chan called me. She said you fainted. You were in Maji burger that time. I arrived along with Hyuuga. We carried your bloody ass all the way here." He answered darkly. Despite the fact that Kagami is smaller than Kiyoshi by 3 centimeters, he was heavier by a kilogram. So small difference but damn, Kiyoshi couldn't even carry himself, how much more on someone heavier than him? Not only that, vulgar speech was so not Kiyoshi-senpai. He's mad. Totally mad.
"Hime-chan?" Kagami questioned.
"Kuro-chan.." He muttered..
Kagami answered with his mouth formed in a small 'o' before asking.
"Why did I faint?"
"Hime-chan?"
"I didn't know myself. You were choking a minute ago then you fainted.. My guess is, you fainted due to lack of oxygen.. The good thing was that, Kiyo-chan arrived exactly after you fainted, they said they were just around the block and performed CPR on you.."
"Real— What?!"
"I didn't do that you idiot! Aida did!" Kiyoshi defended, immediately knowing what he was thinking. Red from embarrassment along with Kagami.
"Ehhh?!"
"Why? Is there something wrong with that?" Kuroko asked, now back to her stoic self, much to Kagami's happiness. He didn't want to make her angry.
"Yes! The whole thing's wrong! How can I just k-kiss her and not die!?"
"It's not a kiss.. It's CPR..And why would you die? You are exaggerating, Kagami-kun." Kuroko answered.
"No! I'am not! "
"*Urusai! Stop bitching! Be grateful ya' dumbass 'cause I actually have no problem not dragging your ass in the first fuckin' place!" Hyuuga's voice boomed as he entered the living room along with an angry Aida. Kagami was so sure that he was gonna get an earful from these two. Hyuuga on 'Badass' mode and Aida on 'Demon' mode, what could possibly be worse than that?
"And here am I thinkin' you'd say some thanks but seemed like ya' love to complain than to even give a shit! I just carried your heavy ass and trust me, it wasn't easy! I could've always left it at the damned alley and let some old woman take ya'!" Hyuuga, said.
"You should be grateful that I saved your love-less life!" She huffed.
'Love-less life? Where the hell did that come from?'
Sure Kagami never had a girlfriend, much less a girl as a friend. Everyone knew that his love-life was pathetic. Certainly there are girls fawning after him but, he really just can't see them other than 'Killer Huggers' who'd creep him out either way. But, just because it was like that, it doesn't really mean you get to rub it in his face. That is just not nice. 'But who am I kidding? It's Aida after all.'
"Anyways, drink some water. Practice will start. After that we will decide the school. Not to mention the songs." Kiyoshi said, ignoring the 2 seniors.
"If we haven't chosen the songs, may I ask, why will we be practicing?" Kuroko inquired.
"So that our skills will not be rusty." Kiyoshi answered. "You also need to get used to crowds, Hime-chan." Kiyoshi chuckled as he patted her head.
"She was asking me. Not you." Aida muttered. Stopping from her ranting at the voice of Kuroko.
"Maa, maa~ Let's go." Kiyoshi said, standing up and stretching his body. And after doing so, he held his hand for Kuroko, in which she took with no hesitation at all. The two walked towards the studio holding hands, unaware of the eyes that followed them.
"Seriously, you guys act like lovers." Hyuuga commented. Away from his 'Badass' mode and back to the Hyuuga they all knew.
"Really? But I really can't imagine tiny Kiyoshis and Kurokos." Mumbled Kiyoshi.
The group blushed red, with the Kuroko and Kiyoshi as an exception of course.
"N-Not that kind!" Hyuuga yelled.
"Indeed! As if I'd let her be pregnant 'cause of the likes of you!" Aida yelled.
"Haha! Just kiddin', just kiddin'" Kiyoshi smiled. 'Kagami-kun, you're beet red!' He then chuckled to himself. It was just like that when Kiyoshi had a crush on Kuroko. It was always so obvious and he only admitted it to himself. Never wanting to hurt his ego, he kept it secret. But then he wanted to become more than just a friend, so he confessed. 'I gotta have to say. Letting it all fall apart was a lot easier than holding it all in.'
"Because it's a festival, we need our songs to be loud and for full enjoyment. Don't worry, we'll not sing a whole album, we'll just have to pick our songs. It doesn't matter what album it is from as long as it is ours. We, as the whole band will decide and pick 3 songs, and as for the last, Tetsu-chan will be the one to decide. After all, we will let her be made to the public." Aida hummed to herself. "Any suggestions? Or questions perhaps?"
Kuroko raised her hand. And at that sight, Aida was in La-la world. She was finally having her as her own singer! It was so exciting. She was participating in the discussion too!
"Tetsu-chan!"
"What genre should the songs be?"
"Well, because it's a festival, like I said, it needs to be loud and for pure enjoyment. So it should be Pop. No, anything loud and funky would do. The message of the song…. Well, anything would be okay for that matter. But because you're gonna be announced, which would make you gain a lot of attention, you can sing whatever genre. Country, pop, jazz the choice is yours."
"I see.. *Arigatou" Kuroko replied.
"No problem! Now! Let's decide on the song!" Aida said, as she took a small whiteboard with an eraser and pen.
"Raise your hand if you have anything to say!" Her voice boomed. They were in the studio. A closed room, soundproof too.
The whole band was present for the meeting. Even Koganei was there, despite being the person to take care of the gear and such. Save it for Tsuchida and Mitobe who were planning on the security and the area. They needed to be prepared to be swarmed with the fan-girls after all.
"Ano, are we gonna do a duet? I mean how are gonna sing?" Kagami asked. It was obvious that he was referring to Kuroko. Both of them were the lead vocalist, they have to plan on how they sing. But then again, Aida's the manager, she should suggest something.
"That's up to you guys. You work as a team and figure that out. And! Because you guys are the vocalists, you have the right to select the songs. We'll be the judge of your choice. Kagami, Tetsu-chan, take my place."
"Ehh? Why can't you just do it? I don't know what to do." Kagami said. Almost of a whine.
"Kagami-kun, I think Aida-san has a point. But, because I'm new, I'm afraid I can't suggest anything as I have only heard the song you practiced yesterday. So Kagami-kun, that leaves you to do the job. You know the songs better than anyone else has. I'll be the judge of your songs like everyone else." Kuroko stated as she sipped the given tea.
"That's not fair!"
"Yes it is." Hyuuga joined in. Wherein Kuroko's involved, it's actually better to keep an eye on Aida. She's just so random at times.
Kuroko nodded Kagami, who's still angry by the way, before saying "Will it be possible for Kagami-kun to sing while playing the guitar for every song suggested? I'd like to know the tune and melody so that I may adjust the notes if it deems to be necessary." She looked at Kagami expectantly despite knowing he'd refuse. He's just so predictable.
"No way! I'm not doing anything! Aida-senpai will do it!" He yelled as he stood up. Yep! He's predictable alright.
"Aida… Senpai..?" Kuroko repeated. Since when did he call her that? It was 'Woman' at first, just Aida at second.. And Aida-senpai? Hyuuga must have scared the hell outta him.
"That's a good kouhai." Hyuuga whispered. But because he sat next to Kiyoshi, the other must have heard it pretty well. If his chuckling and shivers are anything to go by.
"Bakagami! You have to do this, it's your responsibility as the lead vocalist! And besides, Tetsu-chan is right! She doesn't know any kind of song except the one we practiced yesterday! It's only reasonable that you should take over!" Aida added as she hugged Kuroko with all her might. She's just so honored that someone as talented as Kuroko was on their band. That's just huge. But she may be a little bit too honored and excited.
Kagami, obviously outnumbered by the odds, he scowled deeper. "Keh.." He whispered, annoyed.
"Yosh! Now that's settled! Take my place Kagami-kun! And after deciding the songs, I will decide the school!"
"E-ehhh?" Kiyoshi whined. "I thought we were gonna decide it as a band!"
"That's what I thought too! But then because I'm the manager, I figured that I have to decide on it alone." Aida replied, her smile never leaving from her place.
"Unfair." Kiyoshi mumbled to himself. Faking a tear as Aida rolled her eyes.
"So these would be the songs?" Kuroko asked a burger-eating-Kagami. So far, that was his 9th. 16 burgers more to go.
"Yep."
"I'm not so familiar with these songs Kagami-kun."
"What d'ya mean? I sang it a while ago upon your request." Kagami grumbled.
"Yes but.."
"No buts.. We'll be practicing those songs anyways."
"Hai."
After the little meeting a while ago, they told the whole band that the practice hours would be doubled as they have only 4 days left to practice. Aida told them that they would be sleeping in their respective rooms in Aida's apartment instead of going home. And because Kuroko was a girl, she would have the extra room in between Kagami's and Kiyoshi and Hyuuga's room.
Kuroko really didn't mind staying over for the next 4 days, but the problem was, she had Nigou to take care of. Unless they want another extra member, she's going to decline the offer to stay. And the answer she gave Aida disappointed her. So she said it would be okay to bring the dog along with her, making her extra happy.
The rest of the band knows, and they had no problem with it, saying the phrase altogether ; The more, the merrier.
But Kagami had a problem with dogs, so, Kuroko promised never to let Nigou hurt him. Hence, why he's eating many burgers to prepare for the worse, or so he said.
You see, after Maji Burger, Kagami would have to escort her to her apartment where she'll get her clothes, good for 4 days and 3 nights, and take Nigou with her as well. In other words in Kagami's vocabulary, he'll be meeting Kuroko's dog, Nigou. And that scared him, so he's eating a lot of burgers to overcome he's fear and anxiety.
"Kagami-kun, it's already 6:21" Kuroko said, as she looked at her phone for double-checking, before continuing "We should head out soon, so please finish your meal a bit faster. Aida-san told us we should be back around 7:00."
Stuffing his last burger in his mouth, he gave a thumbs up before finishing his soda. "Yosh, let's meet the little monster!" he grinned.
"Kagami-kun. Nigou is a dog. And despite his small size, I really wouldn't hesitate to tell him to scare you." She stated darkly. A frown on her lips.
Finally arriving at the destination, as she started opening her door, she was greeted by Nigou's happy bark and tail wagging on the other side. It seemed like he missed her a lot. Opening the door fully, she picked him up before hugging him softly as he patted his head wherein Nigou licked her cheek. She really did miss him, and so did him. Always alone, yet never disobeying Kuroko when she said not to leave the house because he might get 'Dog nap'. He missed her so, so much. She can't blame him though for missing her, every single day, except the weekends, she goes out the door and comes back at night due to practice.
But that didn't stop Nigou from losing faith in his master. During lunch, Nigou was instructed to eat his lunch, located in the refrigerator, and place his food bowl on the sink right after eating. Though he was short, he's strong legs allowed him to jump higher and his intelligence allows him to understand Kuroko's simple sentences and commands. And every single day, did he never once disobey her.
"Kagami-kun." Kuroko called as she turned around. Eyeing a sweaty Kagami with a twitching right eye. "What wrong? Has your will weakened at the sight of the 'Monster'?" she asked with her impassive tone. But her eyes glinted; somehow, he can say she was amused. After all, the great Kagami Taiga, weakened on the knees not only because of his secret crush, but because of the sight of a dog. What has the world become?
"Shut it!" Kagami retorted, cheeks getting redder.
"Why is Kagami-kun blushing?" she asked, utterly curious.
"Am not! 'M just a bit.. J-Just preparing myself.."
Chuckling a bit she said "Let's go inside Kagami-kun. While I pack, you can make a bond with Nigou. He seems to be excited to meet a new friend. You must have a nice scent."
"W-Wait!" Kagami nearly yelled as he place his hand on her shoulder to stop her movements. "I'll stay here and w-watch out for.. thieves.." he mumbled the last part.
"…"
"…"
"Hahaha!.. Hahaha!" Kuroko laughed as Nigou scrambled out of her hold to go back inside the apartment. "Kagami-kun..Hahaha!" Kuroko continued as she clutched her stomach. Watch out for the thieves? Seriously? "Hahaha!"
"H-Hey! Don't laugh! I'm not joking!" Kagami blushed red from embarrassment and from Kuroko's laughing. He knows it's not the best reason but the thought of being alone with a dog was just so scary! He'd rather date a random girl, thank you very much.
Watching her calming down a bit, she turned to see him. "Nothing will go wrong Kagami-kun. Now please go inside as we have a few minutes to spare." She said with a smile.
Even though she was laughing at him rather than be laughing with him, Kagami couldn't bring himself to get angry. He was the reason behind that heart-warming laugh. That's all there is to it despite being serious when he said to keep watch. He didn't really mean for her to laugh, he was really serious about keeping watch, anything to not be alone with the mutt, but she laughed. And it was music to his ears.
Entering her small apartment, Kuroko instructed him to sit while she packed the things she would need. Unlike the other members, Kagami practically lived in Aida's apartment. It was offer from Aida's father in which he happily accepted. Therefore, he had everything in the room, acted like he lived in the apartment in which he really does. He's the watcher as he takes care of it. Though some still stay, but only a couple of days before returning home.
Sipping on the hot chocolate Kuroko made, he took his sweet time noticing the environment. A few pictures here and there, though most of the pictures consisted of her dog and Kiyoshi with Kuroko as kids. No pictures of her parents nor family, he noted. 'She lives alone?'
"Arrf!"
"*Gyaa!" Kagami moved to his left, away from the dog. Seems like he moved too much as he fell on the couch. Rubbing his head, he took notice that there were no bumps nor bruises, just a lasting pain on his lower left side of his head. Good thing he didn't land on his face too.
Turning to his right, his eyes bulged out like capital 'O's. The dog was sitting there, wagging his tail as he looked at Kagami with the eyes of.. Kuroko? Staring intently he observed the dog's eyes. Round and big in shape, eyes like the ocean. Looking at them could get you lost. And lost was Kagami. Like Kuroko's eyes, they were so rich in emotions. So full of them.
So lost in his thoughts, he never noticed the approaching dog. And when the dog gave Kagami a wet, saliva filled kiss, only then did he wake from his stupor.
"Gyaaa! G-get away from me!" Kagami ran in the kitchen, curling himself into a ball as he shivered.
Kuroko, hearing the soft 'thud' went outside her room. Seeing the throw pillows on the floor, she scanned the area. But with her small apartment, finding the trembling Kagami was fast.
Approaching slowly she called out to him. "Kagami-kun?"
"There's no way I could stand a dog with eyes just like yours!" He said as he stood up from his position.
"Kagami-kun? Are you really that scared of a dog?" Kuroko asked.
"Y-Yeah.. A huge dog took a bite of my ass when I was in America.. Feared them ever since."
Chuckling softly, she called unto Nigou and at that action, Kagami tensed visibly. 'America huh?'
"Nigou was an abandoned dog. Kiyo-chan and I found him when I was around 12. It was the day when he bought himself Mr. Green too, his pet turtle… Nigou's kind and playful in nature, he wouldn't hurt you. He's been my companion ever since." She explained at the now calmed Kagami as she patted Nigou's head.
Placing the dog right in front of Kagami, she left to continue her packing.
Great. His feared situation was now completely true. Now, he was left in his thoughts. Seems like he'll have to bond with this dog after all.
Hesitantly, slowly, very slowly, he patted Nigou's head, closing his eyes all the while. He had to trust Kuroko. He just had too.
'Why am I trusting her? I've feared them for a long time so why act now?'
Still closing his eyes, his palms were starting to sweat despite resting his other hand on the dog's head. His fingers twitching a little, he was about to take his hand back, but the small lick on his hand stopped him.
"Arrff!" Kagami opened his eyes. Looking at the happy puppy.
Chuckling a little bit at the young puppy, he patted his head again without reluctance. As the puppy leaned at the touch, Kagami couldn't help but feel encouraged. He was about to pat the dog again but the sound of shuffling bags caught his attention. Looking at the source, he looked at Kuroko. She carried a backpack colored in pink with lines of teal linings at the side. She also carried three brown paper bags.
Throwing a questioning look her way, he asked "What's in the paper bag?"
"Nigou's necessities. Let's go, Kagami-kun." She said as she was replied with a nod. "Nigou" Kuroko called.
"Arff!" He barked as it approached his master.
"Did you become friends with Kagami-kun?" Kuroko asked as she motioned for Kagami to go out in which he did, as he looked at the duo.
"Arff!" it barked, wagging his tail happily as he pressed his cheek against Kuroko's leg.
"That's good then. We will be staying with them for at least 4 days and 3 nights. You'll meet new people so you have to be good alright?" she asked. Though her voice remained impassive, her mouth was curved in a small smile.
"Talking to dogs now are we?" Kagami mused.
"He's a lot more intelligent than you think. But he doesn't really listen to other people besides me."
"Right.. What's with the eyes anyways?" Kagami asked as Kuroko exited her apartment and locked it on the inside, placing her key in her purse.
"Actually, I don't know. Kiyo-chan was also amazed that we had the same pair of eyes. He sometimes called me Nigou #2." She chuckled at the memory.
"Arff! Arrff!" Nigou interrupted ah he rubbed his cheek against Kuroko's leg as he sat down and looked expectantly at Kuroko.
"You don't have to, Nigou."
"Arff!" it barked, but this time, it sounded more of a whine.
Sighing, Kuroko gave up and gave Nigou two of her paper bags. "Take good care of it okay? It's your stuff." Kuroko reminded as she bent down to pat him.
"Arrff!" cam the reply. Holding the paper bag on it's mouth, he walked ahead of the humans.
"You actually talked to a dog…"
"Like I said Kagami-kun, Nigou is smarter than you think. He was whining because he wanted to help."
"..Would you like a hand too? Y-You're bag kinda looks heavy.." Kagami muttered, his cheeks starting to redden. He never actually offered his help. He'd usually be forced to do it so, this was pretty new to the red-head.
"It's okay, Kagami-kun. Anyways, let's go. Nigou is already at the lobby."
"He knows this place that much?"
"Hai, he also knows where my school is located in case of emergencies."
"Smart dog."
"Indeed he is.. By the way, are you okay with dogs now?"
"Y-Yeah.. Somehow, I trust him."
"That's good. I'll get you to help me walk him sometime. You need to strengthen your bond."
"Yeah, yeah."
