Chapter 6
Kagami P.O.V
"Why are you suddenly treating me lunch here, Kagami-kun?"
"What? I shouldn't?"
Kuroko was looking at me curiously while drinking the milkshake in his hand. After a while, he finally let go of the topic. Occasionally, he would stare out the window watching people passing by on the street.
"So, how's your hubby?"
I choked and glared at him. He just smiled a little and leaned back in his chair, waiting for my answer.
"Stop talking like that Kuroko! People will misunderstand if they heard it!"
Kuroko shrugged, still waiting for my answer.
"He-"
"Tch! You treat Tetsu, but you won't treat me. What the hell is that about Kagami?"
Aomine appeared and takes one of my burgers.
"Hey, give me back my burger!"
"Sheesh, you're so stingy! I just wanna help you eat your burgers!"
"Fuck off! I can eat this alone, I don't need your help!"
He cursed me back but I ignored him and continued eating my burgers. Then, he was sitting next to Kuroko and they were chatting together.
If I think about it, why would Aomine choose to marry me? I know he's told me the reasons why he married me, but still, if he likes men, shouldn't he like Kuroko?
Kuroko is his friend and shadow ...
Okay, the former shadow. But it doesn't change the fact that they are close friends. And if I looked at him closely, I realized that Kuroko has a cute face and a slim body like a girl, Aomine even calls him by his first name.
...
Why do I suddenly feel upset, huh?
"Oi, Kagami!"
I was aware that I had been looking at them both intensely ... or rather, glaring at them. Aomine raised his eyebrow while Kuroko smiled knowingly, it's like he was saying 'I know what you're thinking right now, Kagami-kun'.
"Wha- what?"
"Are we playing one on one together this afternoon?"
Ah, that's right. One on one has become our regular activity on weekends.
" ... Yeah ."
"Do you wanna join us, Tetsu?"
BA-DUMP!
Kuroko glanced at me and smirked slightly. I just glared at him but he ignored me and shook his head.
"No, I can't. I have something to do after this."
"Tch, All right."
Exhale.
Why do I suddenly feel relieved? What am I actually worried about? Come on Kagami, get a hold of yourself!
Aomine went back to chatting with Kuroko and I tried to dismiss the weird feeling and went back to eating the pile of burgers in front of me.
What just happened ...?
Am I...?
No no, I do like Aomine, but there'sno way I feel ...
... jealous, right?
That's so ridiculous!
Oh my, of all people, I'm jealous of Kuroko!? I must be desperate. Rather than Kuroko, maybe I should watch out for the pretty girls with big boobs.
Why?
Because I believe that Aomine is now straight and likes girls. Well, I know there's a possibility that he'll marry me, a big guy, in the future. But, despite that, and that possibility still baffles me, I'm not sure if Aomine plays for the other team.
Right ...?
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Break time ~"
"No! Aomine, come on! Let's play a little while longer."
"Well, I don't wanna. Don't you feel tired, Kagami? We've been playing for almost three hours! If you still wanna play, do it alone, I'll pass."
Aomine sat on a bench and took a bottle from his bag. It's absolutely ridiculous, but I couldn't take my eyes off him. My heart is beating so fast and my face is heating up. He drank his drink like an actor playing in a mineral water commercial on televison. Water dripped from his mouth and fell past his chin and neck.
I think ... he should try to apply to be an actor in television commercials.
Suddenly, a boy around ten or eleven years old appeared, standing in the middle of the court. He wore a black T-shirt and blue shorts. He has black hair that matched the color of his dark eyes. He doesn't seem aware of us or maybe he just ignored our existence.
He dribbled the basketball in his hand a few times, then took a few steps and tried to shoot the ball through the hoop.
Almost.
That's a great shot for a kid in his age, but unfortunately, after several attempts, the boy still hasn't managed to put the ball in.
"If you change your posture a little bit, and try to relax your shoulders, you can do it."
Aomine's voice surprised me and the boy. The boy glared at us, or more exactly at Aomine. He huffed and ignored us again.
I turned to Aomine, but he just smirked while looking at the stubborn boy. I'm watching the boy again and he tried to shoot the ball to the ring, but his posture is a little different from before.
He followed Aomine's advice.
The result? The ball went in smoothly.
"See?"
Aomine smirked smugly while I chuckled beside him. The boy glared at us, but Aomine just grinned broadly.
"You're welcome, kid."
I tried to hold back my laughter when I saw the child's cheeks flush slightly, either because of embarrassment or anger, or perhaps both.
The boy went back to do the shoots and almost all of them went in. I'm sure when he grows up, this boy will be one of the greatest players in his team.
A few minutes later, the boy suddenly walked up to us. His hands were playing with the basketball in his hands awkwardly, like he's nervous.
How cute!
He said something or muttered something.
"Can .. play ... me ..?"
"What?"
Aomine and I asked at the same time. The boy pouted a little but repeated it once again.
"Can you guys play basketball with me?"
I blinked.
Aomine blinked.
Did this stubborn and ignorant child just ask us to play basketball with him?
Aomine smirked and I smiled at him.
"Of course we-"
"Him. You can play with this guy. I'm still tired and besides you have to train harder if you want to play against me. Even this guy has only ever beaten me once, and it was with his teammates help."
This smug bastard!
He smiled slyly at me and I looked back at him furiously. The boy stared at us in confusion for a few seconds, then scowled.
"I also don't wanna to play with an asshole like you!"
He stuck out his tongue at Aomine and pulled my hand. Aomine stared at us dumbfounded and burst out laughing.
"I like you kid!"
We ignored him and we played basketball together. After nearly an hour, the boy seemed tired and I told him to rest. We went back to the place where Aomine was sitting down cross-legged.
Aomine threw a towel at my head, and when I wanted to protest, he handed me a bottle of water. I just looked at the bottle, confused.
"Drink it! You must be tired Bakagami. And you kiddo, you can drink this too."
The child shook his head and pulled out a bottle from his bag. After the three of us were silent for a moment, I glanced at the child.
"Hey .. umm .. why don't you ask your friends to play a basketball with you?"
He was stiff for a moment but then shrugged.
"They don't wanna."
"Why?"
Aomine also seemed curious about the casual answer from the boy.
"Because their parents have forbidden them from playing with me. They said, I'll give them a bad influence. Sometimes, some kids would mock and insult me."
Aomine and I looked at each other and then I nodded. I grabbed the boy's shoulder and tried to speak in a soft voice.
"Can we know why?"
The child looked at me blankly and returned to playing with the basketball in his hands.
"My father went to prison last month. He was framed by his friend and the police found drugs in his bag. He was sentenced to five years. My mother decided to move from this city to calm herself."
"When are you going to move?"
"Tomorrow."
I was surprised by his statement and I'm sure Aomine also feels the same. Although the boy said it with a flat face, I could see the sadness in his eyes when he told us.
Unconsciously, I ruffled the boy's hair and grinned widely.
"It's okay, you'll surely find good friends that are willing to accept you. You'll become a great basketball player and shove the fact to their faces."
Wow, I never thought that I could say wise words like that. The boy seems caught off guard because of my statement and he quickly looked away from me.
Was he ... blushing?
"And you must defeat and kick their ass someday!"
After hearing Aomine's remark, we laughed together.
After a while, the boy told us he had to go home because he didn't want to make his mother worried. He took his bag and got up to leave, but suddenly he turned to me and held my hands.
Huh?
"Umm .. What's your name?"
He asked me shyly and he's not looking at me in the eyes. I want to answer him, but Aomine leaned closer to me and wrapped his hand around my shoulders.
"Aomine Daiki."
"I'm not asking you!"
The boy was glaring at Aomine's hand on my shoulders.
"Well-"
"Kagami. Kagami Taiga."
I smiled and ... did he blush again?
The boy held my hand tighter and looked straight into my eyes.
"I'll become a great basketball player and return to this city. If we meet again, at that time ..."
His eyes were drawn to Aomine.
"... you must dump him."
What? dump him?
Don't tell me...
"Wha-No! We're not-"
"Okay, we'll wait. And you have to fight hard to try to snatch what is mine."
His mine? Who? ME?!
"Ahomine! You-"
My words stopped when I felt a small pair of lips on my cheek. I turned toward the boy with wide-eyes but he let go of my hand and rushed off. He waved his hand and shouted.
"Don't forget me Taiga-chan! My name is Kazuki! Ottoya Kazuki!"
And the boy disappeared from our view.
"Wow Kagami. You've just gotten a confession from a boy."
I didn't comment on Aomine's words and my eyes werestill staring blankly in the direction the boy ran off in.
Ottoya. .. Ottoya Kazuki?
Oh shit!
Looks like now I understand why Kazuki is so sticky to me in the future.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
I opened my eyes lazily and looked around me. The curtains, the walls and the photos. Yes, I was in the dream world again. After I returned from the court, I was so exhausted and fell asleep after a quick shower.
I yawned and stretched my body. I rubbed my eyes and stared at my surrounding once again. My eyes fixed on a small note on the table.
'I went to work early because there's a case that must be handled immediately. I don't wanna wake up my angel from his slumber, so I left without wake you up. I made toast for you and put it on the dining table. Eat it, okay? I'll be home before 8 pm.
Daiki'
I chuckled after reading the note in my hand.
Angel, huh?
Very cheesy, isn't he?
I got up and walked to the bathroom to shower. Once out, I decided to clean the apartment to fill my spare time because it looks like I still have some days off.
"Yeah! It's time to clean up!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Time goes by quickly, I've finished cleaning the apartment, took a bath and intended to make dinner, but I stopped when I heard the sound of the bell. I rushed to the front door and opened it. A strong hand circled around my waist and pulled me into a broad chest. I felt something soft and warm on my forehead.
"I'm home Taiga."
Aomine grinned and I mirrored him.
"Welcome home, Daiki."
SNAP!
"Aaawwwww! Aren't they both so sweet?"
I released myself from Aomine's hand, and peered over his back. I saw Kuroko with a camera in his hand and Momoi who was clapping her hands with a dreamy face.
"So-sorry! I didn't know you guys were coming to visit."
"It's okay Kagamin ~ we're only visiting briefly to discuss some cases and after that you can continue being lovey dovey!"
My face flushed red and I invited them in. I left them with the excuse to make dinner for them. Kuroko and Momoi were sitting in the living room and Aomine followed after changing his clothes. They were busy discussing something and I couldn't help myself from glancing in their direction. Aomine looked serious andso did Kuroko and Momoi.
Momoi. My eyes focused on Momoi. She has grown into a beautiful woman, her hair remains long and she became a little taller than before. And .. ahem .. her chest also looks... umm.. great? Same as before. Yes, I know that she is Aomine's childhood friend and manager of Aomine's team, Touou. She's often seen arguing with Aomine, but I know they actually have a good relationship.
... Wait.
A childhood friend, a beautiful girl (or woman now?) with big boobs. Isn't she the perfect person to be Aomine's partner in life? Why did Aomine end up with me instead of with Momoi?
If I were Aomine, then I would choose ...
"Taiga."
Aomine appeared and hugged me from behind, I could feel his breath on my neck and he kissed my neck softly.
"Why are you dozing off?"
"Well, it's nothing. I just thought of something not important."
Aomine doesn't seem to believe me but he shrugged it off and pulled me into the living room.
"Kagamin ~ I have to go home first because there are things I must to do."
"But I made something for you. Can you stay a little longer?"
Momoi shaked her head sadly.
"Wait a minute, I'll wrap it for you to be taken home. And I made it for four people, so it would be wasted if you don't eat it right?
Momoi was beaming and squealing thank you with a high pitched voice. I came back with a plastic container with some food in it. I gave it to Momoi, and she thanked me as she said goodbye to us.
After Momoi went home, Kuroko and Aomine were busy discussing their cases again. There are several folders with papers and photos scattered around them.
I'm getting sleepy and I don't want to disturb them, so I decided to go to bed first. I went up to Aomine and Kuroko to say good night. They smiled and told me to get to the bedroom and rest.
"Don't forget to eat dinner guys!"
"Don't worry and thanks Kagami-kun."
"Sleep well, Taiga."
I smiled and walked to the bedroom to rest but Aomine's voice halted my step. I turned around and he said something that made me freeze in place with a pale face.
"The day after tomorrow is a holiday, so I wanna to take you to go to Hokkaido to meet my parents. My mother misses you so bad and my father also told me that he wants to eat your homemade food again. We'll start getting ready tomorrow night, so go rest and prepare what you want to bring tomorrow, kay?"
WHAAAAAATTTTTTT?!
I'll meet Aomine's parents?! Eeerr... that makes them... umm.. my parent in-laws?
GULP!
What should I do?! What should I say to them? I've never even seen their faces!
Oh my God! I'm so dead!
I went to sleep with various feelings running through my head.
Uuugh, I hope I'm not coming to this world the day after tomorrow ...
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Normal POV
"Isn't he cute?"
Aomine pointed his thumb to his bedroom and Kuroko glared at him.
"You really made him panic just now Aomine-kun."
Aomine chuckled and ignored Kuroko's sharp gaze across from him.
"I can't help it. He struggled so hard, so I can't imagine it. I can't imagine what will happen when he meets my parents. He must be very nervous and confused."
Aomine laughed and Kuroko shook his head while he muttered 'heartless person' under his breath. He looked up again to Aomine and narrowed his eyes.
"You are so mean, you know? Kagami-kun really doesn't know anything and it isn't fair. When are you going to tell him the truth?"
Aomine stopped laughing and straightened his body. He looked at Kuroko with a serious face. His dark blue eyes filled with various emotions.
"Soon. But not yet ... not now."
Kuroko wants to say something but Aomine raised his hand and shook his head.
"I will Tetsu. I'll tell him that I know he is not my Taiga but he is my Kagami from our high school days. I'll tell him that I saw his reflection in the future mirror a few years earlier, before he saw my reflection."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
So... The future!Aomine knew about the mirror and the present!Kagami?
A little bit cliffhanger for you guys *smirk*
Thank you and See ya on the next chapter :)
