Chapter III

The moment he fell

-5 years ago-

A group of teenagers are gathering in a basketball court in one of Tokyo's parks one Sunday morning. The said teenagers seem to be arguing if a normal person would see them or hear their conversation, but to them this is pretty normal everyday. "Enough with your petty squabbles Kise, Aomine!" the smallest guy from the group said and the two he mentions quickly stops with their shouting and brawling. The two are having a cat fight on a certain topic about 'hairstyles' that the bluenet find boring and his yellow-haired model friend find greatly interesting and that's when their little fight started. "This is not the time for fighting about nonsense! Why are you all here anyway? Where is Momoi? She's the one I'm suppose to meet, messaging me about her some kind of emergency." The green-haired guy said as the two guys break their staring contest. "I received a message from her too! Saying: 'We have an emergency. Meet me.'" Kise backups Midorima's statement as he read the message on his phone. "Hmm...Wait, Why aren't you with her, Aominecchi?" The blonde guy continued and turned back to his enemy a few seconds ago and asked him as if nothing happened. "I haven't seen her today. I received that same message too." The tan man replied as he cross his arms around his chest. "Maybe it's another of her 'reunion plan' or whatever. Tch...I'm hungry, 'got something to eat, Murasakibara?" Aomine added and turned to the tallest guy in the group. The asked man looked at him with sleepy eyes and replied. "Eh~ I only got candies~ You can come with me in the convenient store if you want~" Murasakibara stands up and tried to walk towards the store when a hand tap his shoulder to stop him. "No one's going anywhere. If we all got the same message, then this must be really an emergency. She would send us different messages about some lame excuses as a bait if this is about one of her schemes. But it seems she sends the same message to everyone of us. I know it if she's just planning something or not. Let's just wait for her to arrive here and know what's really happening." the red haired captain said to them in a command voice. All of them nodded.

"Hmm...Aren't we missing Kurokocchi? Did Momocchi forgot to send him a message?" Aomine looked around and realized that their other blue haired friend is no where to be found. His eyes widen as he remembered what happened the other day. "Wait! I think this is about Tet-" the bluenet was cut off by his best friend that is now running towards them.

"Akashi-kun! Everyone! I'm sorry, I'm late. I went to our teacher's house first to know the hospital we're going to." the pink haired girl said between breaths. They all looked at her curiously except for Aomine. "What are we going to do in the hospital Momoi? Care to explain your plans?" Midorima asked with a serious tone of voice. "Eh?" She looked at all of them and saw the same expression on their faces, again except Aomine. Reading their looks of curiosity, Momoi glared at her best friend. "Why're you looking at me like that?!" Aomine asked and complete the group of curious faces with one of his. "You didn't told them! You're with everyone this whole time, and you didn't even told them why we're here!?" She angrily said to Aomine. "I was about to tell them if you didn't interrupt me!" The bluenet answered. Seeing another fight is about to start, the captain of kiseki no sedai decided to step in. "That's enough, you two!" Momoi was startled and Aomine let out a grunt. Akashi crossed his arms and looked at their manager. "Momoi, explain." The pink haired girl sigh. "Y-Yes."

Momoi told them what happened after the practice match between Touou and Seirin. It turns out that Kuroko's mother is currently in the hospital and he rushed himself to get there leaving everybody clueless of what's happening. His phone is off for the last 36 hours leaving Momoi without a choice but to investigate. With Momoi's data gathering skills, she located Kuroko's location and know why he left the other day. "I messaged Kagamin and his other teammates about what happened, they're probably on their way too." Momoi said to conclude her explanation. "Then, let's get going!" Kise said to all of them and started walking.

"Momoi, location?" Their captain asked their manager. Momoi nodded to him and answered the name of the hospital.


Seirin basketball team and the generation of miracles are now gathered in one room. They are all laughing about jokes and sharing stories to the petite woman laying on the bed in the center of the room. The woman laugh and hold the hand of the light blue haired boy standing beside her bed side. The said boy smiled back at her. They were laughing about Kagami's story of how he first met Tetsuya.

"Thank you for visiting. I'm glad to meet Tetsuya's friends. Please take care of him." The woman said with a smile as she bows slowly to the people inside her hospital room. She has a shoulder length hair that was tied into a loose pony and a light blue eyes that was the same color of her hair. There're few wrinkle lines under her eyes that can be seen easily. A sign that she's a few older than her visitors. "You can count on us, Kuroko-san." The coach of Seirin basketball club replied in behalf of them and bowed back to her. After a few minutes a nurse came to the room and said. "I'm sorry, Kuroko-san. I'm afraid I have to cut your visiting time now. The doctor is on his way for your daily check up. Only one family member is needed." The nurse said with a smile to the older man sitting on the couch. He answered her with a nod and said thanks. That's everyone's cue to stand and say their goodbyes to Tetsuya's mother and father. Seirin team was the first one to leave the room, leaving the generation of miracles behind. "I'll be taking my leave too, mom." Tetsuya said and kisses his mother's forehead. He said goodbye to his father and leave the room with the remaining group.

As they got out of the hospital, everyone separated their way leaving Kuroko, Aomine, and Momoi behind. "I forgot I have to come by granny's house today. I have to go." Aomine said to the two and started to walk. "Eh?! But you said you'll help me buy the supplies for the team today!" Momoi said that make the bluenet stop walking. "I... I forgot that too. Sorry, Satsuki! See ya." He said with a small laugh and run.

"Aomine-kun is forgetful these days." Momoi sigh then she turned to the remaining boy with her. "Hmm...I should be taking my leave too, Tetsu-kun." She said with a smile. "Do you still need help for the supplies, Momoi-san? I can help." Tetsuya offered to the girl. Momoi's face lit up at what he said. "Really? Is it ok with you, Tetsu-kun?" She asked with a small glint of lights in her eyes. "Yes. I still don't have anything to do until the afternoon. Let's go, Momoi-san." The light blue haired boy said with a nod. The girl nodded in return and started to walk.

Momoi's face blushed as scenarios of the two of them together came flashing to her mind. 'Tetsu-kun and I, walking to the store then our hands will accidentally brushed each other and then...and then...Ah~! You'll nosebleed again! Think straight Satsuki!' She shook her head to stop her daydreams. "Are you alright, Momoi-san?" The boy beside her worriedly asked after seeing her flushed face. "I-I'm alright T-Tetsu-kun!" The pink haired girl replied with a small laugh and tried to smile. Tetsuya smirked after seeing the pink haired girl's red face.

"Cute..."

Tetsuya didn't notice that he accidentally said out loud what he's thinking. His eyes widen as he realized it. Fortunately, the girl beside him didn't hear. He felt his cheeks heat up a little.

"Eh? Did you say something Tetsu-kun?" Momoi bends her head a little as she looked at him curiously.

"I-It's n-nothing, Momoi-san." He replied stammering.

"By the way Momoi-san, I heard from Akashi-kun that you never stopped searching for me until you know what happened..." He said to the girl to change the subject. The girl smiled back at him with a faint blush. "...Thank you, Momoi-san...and I'm sorry to make you all worry." He continued. Momoi Satsuki shook her head and said. "Don't be sorry, Tetsu-kun. Of course everyone will be worried about you. We're your friends. That's what friends are supposed to do." Then she gave him a bright smile. For the first time, Kuroko Tetsuya stared at the pink haired girl with awe. Then he smiled back at her. "Thank you."

'Momoi-san is beautiful.' He thought.

This time, he made sure he didn't said it out loud.


Days had pass after their visit to Tetsuya's mother, Seirin basketball team are now back to their practice. This week would be tight for them, because it's their last week for club activities before the final exams. Everyone is giving all their extra time to play especially the seniors, for this will be their last week to play with the team before going to college.

"B cup-saaaan~!"

"Eh? Is that...?"

"Touou's manager?"

Heads turned to look at the new comer. The coach of the team quickly walked towards her and crossed her arms on her chest. "Y-you! Its Riko-senpai to you! Not B cup! Idiot!"

"Eh? But Its true. You're a B..." Momoi replied to her teasingly. "...anyway, I'm looking for Tetsu-kun. Is he around?" The Touou's manager asked trying to peak inside the court. "Well, he hasn't come to practice for a week now. The last time I saw him was when we came to visit his mother." The brunette replied to the pink haired girl. "He's not attending our classes too..." Kagami said to the two girls as he walked towards them. "...because he stays in the hospital for his mother and I have no choice but to pass by there everday to lend him my notes." The red head guy added and put a towel to his head.

"Then, you're going to the hospital again, Kagami-kun?"

"I don't think I could make it today, Coach. I have to do some errands after practice."

"I'll help, Kagamin! I can give your notes to Tetsu-kun."

"Great!"


Even though Tetsuya Kuroko hasn't been playing basketball with the team, he's always playing at the park near the hospital everytime he got the chance. His mind was a bit off after they knew his mother's condition. He's always been worried about her. Even though his father told him not to, and told him that he can go back to school, still, he always stay with her side even if the final exams are approaching. Luckily, he have friends to help him, like Kagami.

"I forgot. Kagami-kun will be in the hospital for my notes any minute. I should get back." The bluenet said to himself as he looked at the watch on his wrist. Then, he took his ball and run towards the hospital.

When he arrived at his mother's door, he knocked for a few times and opened it. He greeted them and looked for his red head classmate but instead, he saw a pink haired girl laughing with his mother and father but they all stopped and looked at the bluenet. "Momoi-san?"

"Ah, Tetsu-kun! You're back! Kagamin asked me to give you these." Momoi said and give the notebooks to the blue haired boy. "Kagami-kun?"

"Un. He said he have to do something, so I offered him help." The girl said with a nod. "Thank you, Momoi-san." He said and smiled to the girl in front of him. A blush immediately creeped on Momoi's cheeks. She felt her stomach is spinning but in a good way. 'Tetsu-kun's smile. I think I'm melting!'

"Please stay here for awhile, Momoi-san." The pink haired heard a female voice that made her come back from her daydreaming. It was Tetsuya's mother. Momoi nodded and stayed with Tetsuya's family in the hospital and they talk all afternoon. After some time, the pink haired girl said goodbye to them, but Tetsuya offered to walk her to the train station. Now, the two former teammates are walking together a few blocks away from the station.

"Thank you for staying for my mom, Momoi-san." Tetsuya said to the girl walking beside him. "Un. You're welcome, Tetsu-kun." The girl replied.

"It's been a long time since I saw my mother got excited like that. I can tell she enjoyed your company. I think she likes you, Momoi-san." The girl looked at him and felt her face heat up. Hearing those words from Tetsuya makes her heart beats fast. Its very rare for Momoi to recieve such compliments from him and tell for his mother. "R-Really? T-thank you, Tetsu-kun."

"I should be the one to thank Momoi-san. I'm glad you stayed for my mother. Its like she's not sick today."

"That's good to hear. I'm glad I helped." Momoi said with one of her bright smiles.

Now it was Tetsuya's turn to blush. Seeing Momoi Satsuki's smile brings butterflies in his stomach. He doesn't know why and its not like he haven't seen her smile before, but this one is different. He stared at her face for a second and tried to hide the blush on his face by looking at the other side. "We're here." The light blue haired boy looked at the station and then turned to the girl beside him. "See you again, Tetsu-kun! Thanks for the walk." Momoi said and was about to run towards the station but was stopped by Tetsuya.

"Momoi-san?"

"Eh?"

"Will you visit again?" The blunet asked as he slowly scratch his cheek. A faint blush formed on his face. Momoi looked at him with wide eye then she smiled at the boy in front of him and replied. "Yes. I will Tetsu-kun. I can visit again tomorrow, if its not a bother?" She asked. "Not at all, Momoi-san. My mom would be glad to see you again." The light blue haired boy replied. The girl smiled at his answer. "I'll see you tomorrow then, Tetsu-kun!" Then she continued to run towards the station. "See you, Momoi-san." Tetsuya whispered with a smile and took a step back to the hospital.


Another week had passed but it was a different week for Kuroko Tetsuya. The first two days, Momoi Satsuki would stop by Seirin high to get the notes to Kagami then she will head to the hospital. The third day, Tetsuya came back to school. So, the next days, Tetsuya and Momoi go to the hospital together. Everday, Momoi tell stories to Tetsuya's mother. Sometimes, she would study with Tetsuya. Other times, Tetsuya's mother would give advices to Momoi on how to cook and she would bring the food to her, and she did well. Other times, they knit together. Her company sure made Tetsuya's mother feeling better everyday. And at the end of the day, Tetsuya would have the chance to walk her to the train station. It now became a routine to them, but the light blue haired boy doesn't mind, because he likes her company too. Everday, he got the chance to see her smile. He doesn't know why, but it make him feel he's in a different world with her. The feeling of just seeing someone and your whole day would be complete. The feeling of just hearing her voice or laugh gives joy to your troubled feelings or just thinking of her will give a smile to your face.

"There's something different with you, Tetsuya." His mother asked him one day. "Eh? What is it, mom?" He asked back. "I think its because of Momoi-san." She replied. A blush formed on his face after hearing Momoi's name.

"I-I don't understand, mom."

"You may not understand now, but just follow your heart, Tetsuya" she said with a bright smile.

He didn't understand what his mother meant, and what does it have to do with Momoi-san? He doesn't even feel any different, so what is it? His confusion grew even more when his team mates noticed something too.

"Kuroko's different today." Kagone Shinji said to their red head captain, Kagami Taiga and to their brunette coach, Riko Aida. The Seirin basketball club's captain was about to leave their classroom when Riko and Shinji came to deliver an instruction about the turn over ceremony. They saw Kuroko Tetsuya inside the room packing his things in a little hurry. That's when Shinji noticed something to him. "You think too?" Their coach said. But before the cat like guy could reply, Tetsuya came to their side unnoticed. "Hmm. What's different with me?" The blunet that Shinji mentioned asked. The three was startled with his sudden appearance. "Kuroko! H-how long have you been there?!" Kagami asked in shock. "Just a few seconds ago..." He answered to him then looked at them curiously. "...so what's different with me?" He asked them for the second time. The red head and the brunette looked at Shinji and waited for his answer. He sweat drops with a small laugh. "I-I just noticed Kuroko's lately more pumped up than before. You're always in a little hurry and excited to leave whenever I see you in the shoe locker room." He finally answered. "Ah. That's because Momoi-san's waiting for me." Tetsuya said. The three looked at each other with a smile as if they had this same conversation before. "You're meeting with Momoi-san again?" Their captain asked and the blunet replied with a nod. "You're always meeting up with her lately, are you two dating?" Riko suddenly asked with a smirk. Tetsuya's face slowly turned pink as he slowly shook his head in reply.

His brunette coach laugh after seeing his blushing face. "You like her, don't you?"

The two other boys looked at each other. Kagami raised a brow while Shinji shrugs. They didn't know what's happening.

Kuroko's face turned red from pink. "O-of course, because Momoi-san is my friend." He replied stammering. Riko laugh again at him and said. "I'm also your friend, Kuroko-kun, but I don't think you'll blush like that if others mentioned my name, right?" The three guys looked at her curiously. Tetsuya blink for a few times and asked. "I don't understand coach, what are you trying to say?" The other two looked back at her as if asking the same question. Riko sigh in defeat. These guys are hopeless. "You see, Momoi-san and I are both girls, meaning we're your 'girl' friends, but whenever you're with her, do you feel the same whenever you're around me?" She asked with her both hands on her hips and head tilted like she always do when she wanted to know something. The bluenet scratch his cheeks with a finger and pause for a second trying to understand what his coach meant then he nodded and replied a "Yes" to her question. He immediately changed the subject and said goodbye to them with a flushed face. Shinji smiled at what he witnessed. Seeing Tetsuya blush a lot that day while talking about a girl is really rare. "Ohh love!" He said as he finally understands, while the red head captain still has his confused look. "I don't get it."

"You're the most hopeless person I know, Kagami-kun." Riko said with a palm on her forehead. Shinji laughs.


'There's something different with you...' 'Kuroko's different today.'

Different? What's different with him? Is it just what Kagone-san said to him or there's something more?

'I think its because of Momoi-san...'

Is he really that excited to see Momoi-san? There are so many times that he asked Momoi to meet up, but it was only because if he needed something to her or something to tell her and he's not that excited before...unlike now.

'...are you two dating?'

Was it called dating if two friends with the opposite gender see each other to visit the hospital everyday and walk her to the station? That's not dating for Kuroko Tetsuya. For him, dating is more than that. He know what to do in dates, because he dated Momoi once in middle school, and its very different with what they're doing now. Very different. Besides, that date was just a friendly date to him. The girl is his friend after all. Momoi was only kind helping to his mother's health recovery. That's all he can see...but there's a small pain in his chest that wanted to see more.

'...whenever you're with her, do you feel the same whenever you're around me?'

What does his coach trying to say? He thought that the two girls are the same with him. They're his friends. Until, Riko asked him that question. He sees Riko as his coach, as a his senior, as their leader, as a big sister...but Momoi's different. He sees her as a long time friend, the precious gem of the generation of miracles, he doesn't want to see her cry, he would always be there for her whenever she had a fight with Aomine. There are many times he protected her from other guys trying to hit on her. He even noticed her feelings for him and he didn't even tried to abuse that feelings or take her for granted. Instead, he showed her how a gentleman friend he is. But what about now? What does he feel whenever he's with Momoi now?

'...just follow your heart, Tetsuya.'

'Are they trying to tell me...' Tetsuya thought as the pink haired girl slowly walk towards him and his breath are getting heavy as she approach him.

"Let's go, Tetsu-kun?" she said with a bright smile.

He gulped.

'...that I'm in love with Momoi-san?'

He feel it now.

This time, whenever he's with Momoi Satsuki, his world stops.

To be continued...
