Chapter ten: Why?

Three streets away from where the first preliminary Inter-High match took place, "I'm relieved that Shin-chan had many friends back in middle school! I was worried because you are arrogant, selfish, and tsundere; you didn't had any friends back then," the long black haired boy said as he pedaled the bike, "Well, he was a reliable vice-captain back then so we Generation of Miracles kind of respected him even though he was weird Oha-Asa maniac," the blonde laughed and hit the green head on the shoulder, "Shut up, both of you. I'm just following the God's will," Midorima said and pushed his glasses to the bridge of his nose, "I don't want to end up like Takeda who went against the God's will," he continued and showed the others his lucky item: anime keychain. "You are saying like Akashicchi is a God, because sometimes Takecchi went against his will on propose. Haha," the blonde chuckled, "and when he did he ALWAYS end up like a beat-up puppy," he added. "That was why I gave him lucky items," the green head said and filled his nails, "You just admitted that you cared for him," the blonde and the black haired said in unison and made Midorima realized what he just said, "No, I did not," he blushed and looked away. "Midorimacchi is cute when you act like that," the blonde smiled and made the green head blush more, "yeah, don't you think so?" the black haired boy added and made Midorima blush even more, "S-Shut up, Takao. Hurry up the Aquarium is going to close," the green haired said and hid his face behind his arms, "Yes, your highness!" Takao answered and pedaled at lightning speed.

"Ehhhh? It has already begun, and Kagamicchi are having trouble… are they going to be okay?" Kise said worriedly, "Kuroko is not that weak," Midorima added, "You guys want anything to drink 'cause I'm thirsty," Takao said and fished up some money, "Water, thank you. What about you, Midorimacchi?" Kise asked the green head that glued his eyes to the game, "anything is fine," he answered. When the black haired boy left Midorima spoke, "Takeda doesn't seem to be the same," he said and adjusted his glasses, "Didn't Akashicchi inform you?" Kise questioned, as he lifted on of his brows, "No…" Midorima said and narrowed his eyes, "He lost his memories…" Kise said and stroke his blonde hair, "but he seems to remember about me and Kurokocchi, though," he smiled to the green head whose eyes was widen, "What? Why?" he asked, "I don't know the details, Midorimacchi," the blonde replied.

"YES WE DID IT! WE WON!" the freshmen trio shouted in unison. After 40 long minutes Seirin finally won their first match to Inter-High. Everyone breathed of relieve. As they were packing ready to go home Dad approach Kagami, "I lost. Please play hard for me in your next match," he said that and surprised Kagami, "Huh? Uh, sure," he replied, "I mean, you are an idiot! An idiot!" he teased but then he got pulled away by one of his teammates, "You moron, I won't lose next time!" he continued and made Kagami almost went mad. After that they all went home except Takeda, he stayed and played basketball alone on the near by public court. "Seeing them playing in a match feels nostalgic. My body is yearning to play…" he sulked and shoot the ball, but missed the ring, "I see, you're rusty aren't you, Takecchi?" a boy spoke and picked up the basketball that rolled to him, "Ryou, what are you doing here?" Takeda asked the boy: Kise Ryouta, "Well, I kind of followed you here after the match," the blonde smiled and threw the ball back to Takeda, "that's sounds creepy," Takeda laughed, "want to play one on one? One ball," he continued. Kise smiled and accepted the challenge, "Bring it on!" he said and got in the position to defense the hoop; Takeda lower his body and made a fast drive to get through Kise, but Kise saw it coming and blocked his path, "You're not going past me, Takecchi!" he smiled and tried to reach out for the ball, however Takeda reacted fast enough and took a step back, "Neither are you getting this ball, Ryou!" he said happily, "Ne, Takecchi let's bet on this one ball. If I win you will have to do what I said and if you win I will do what you said in one week," Kise smirked, "Hmm, interesting. Deal," the blacked haired replied and suddenly made a jump-shoot. 'Shit, it's going in! I won't lose!' Kise thought and ran to the hoop then took the ball and dunk, "HA! I won!" Kise grinned and the black haired boy who was hoping for the ball was going to be his, "Hey! That was cheating! That ball was mine!" he shouted as he pointed his finger, "I dunked it so it was mine," Kise said childishly and rotated basketball on his finger tip, "No, it was mine I shot it!" the black haired boy screamed, "but I dunked it," the blonde smiled a smile that irritated Takeda to the core, "This aren't going nowhere. Let's decide it with Rock-Scissor-Paper!" Takeda said and held out his fist, "Alright, jan-ken-pon!" when Kise finished the sentence both of them threw out their fist, Kise: paper, Takeda: rock, "Yes, I won!" Kise shouted and jumped around in happiness while Takeda sunk deep in the darkness, "Midorimacchi said that he has the worst luck today; it is true," Kise whispered to himself, "What do you want from me?" Takeda sighed, "First of all you have to… hmm… treat me a good dinner!" Kise smiled, "I don't have money," Takeda replied. "Stop lying, I know you have a lot of money!" Kise pointed his finger towards his friend that was drinking water, "Tch… Then what do you want to eat?" Takeda closed the water bottle and lifted his sports bag ready to go, "Korean barbeque!"

At Korean Barbeque restaurant
"Yum! The meats are so delicious!" the blonde said and put meat inside his mouth and almost cried in happiness, "they are so good". Takeda who was eating at the opposite side looked confused at him, "Kise, haven't you tried them before?" he asked as he put new meats on the grill, "No, it's too expensive when you eat alone," the blonde answered and chewed the new meat he just fished up, "So, basically you are just using me to eat meat," Takeda grinned and drank water, "No, not quite. I want to spend my times with you too," Kise smiled. "I heard from Kuroko that you confessed to him, it was very brave of you," Takeda smiled and gave Kise a candy, "Here, a small gift to recover from broken heart," he laughed. "You're mean Takecchi!" Kise cried, "Oh, Takecchi, today is Saturday, can I sleep over at your house?" he continued, "Why?" the black-haired asked as he tilted his head, "Well, I want to play Battle Field and Counter Strike with you like we used to!" the blonde answered and made a hand moment of how he held a joy-stick. "Oh, I remember that we used to do that a lot! But I can't wait for you to pack things, because Kuma is waiting for me," Takeda said and paid for the dinner, "Eh, who is Kuma?" Kise asked and put on his jacket, "Kuma is my dog," the black-haired replied. "Then I will just come to your house. What is the address?" the blonde asked while he walked out of the restaurant with Takeda behind him, "Kurogane Street, 8. See ya," then they parted.

"I'm home, Kuma!" Takeda greeted his dog when he finally reached his house; "Are you hungry?" he said and sat on his knees and patted Kuma, "Woof!" Kuma barked and licked his master's face, "it's ticklish, Kuma. Yosh, then I will prepare your favorite dog food!" Takeda stood up and went to the Kitchen when the bell rang, he went and opened the door, "Hello, Takecchi! I've come!" Kise greeted brightly, "I can see that, come in," Takeda said and opened path for Kise, "I thought you've moved since Akashicchi said; you weren't here anymore…" Kise laughed in jump to the sofa, "and I thought you've grown a bit more mature since I left," the black-haired added as he prepared food for Kuma, "Mou, Takecchi! Stop bullying me!" Kise pouted cutely and threw a pillow after Takeda, but he evaded it, "Haha, noob!" he laughed as his mouth turned upward into a smile. "Takecchi, let's watch a movie before we begin our gaming! I've brought some with me!" Kise giggled as he waved a DVD in his hand, "Do what ever you want, the DVD-player is over there," Takeda said as he pointed his finger towards the DVD-player beside the TV.

The boys sat in excitement waited for the movie to start with massive of popcorns in their mouth. Boy, there were too much that you would believe; they would die of suffocation. "Ryou, I'm going to tell you something, don't be mad at me, okay?" Takeda said as he made a sad face, "Depends on what you want to say, but, yeah, what is it?" The blonde turned his head to look at his friend, "Tetsuya is single," the black-haired said and patted his sleeping dog, "He lied to you," he continued then turned his head toward Kise, "and I kissed him… I'm quite surprise myself that he let me do it too," he said and covered his eyes behind his hand; he was afraid of looking at his friend, it felt like he had betrayed one of his good friends… It wasn't meant to go that way, but since he liked Kuroko; he couldn't stop himself, and not to hurt his dear friend further he decided to apologize, "Ryou, I'm sorry". There was a heavy air in the room where they were. For the first time in his life, Takeda wanted to disappear. "Don't worry, Takecchi, I'm not mad," the blonde said with a smile plastered on his handsome face. Takeda looked at Kise once more and smile, "Thank you," he said and smiled a sad smile. "Since you decided to confess, I will tell you why Kurokocchi let you kiss him…" the blonde said and stroke back his hair, "I don't know, how much you remember, but back in the middle school, there were five people you know besides Kurokocchi, and I. Among them, there was a person Kurokocchi loved all his heart, yet that person changed. No, not only him, we all changed back then, and the way he changed really hurt Kurokocchi… Takecchi, you resemble him, not your appearance but your current personality reminds him of that person's past self, plus both of your auras felt the same too (just like Kagamicchi. God, who knows what they've done together?) You're simply just a replacement for him, Takecchi. Please give up on him, I don't want to see you get hurt," Kise said quietly and pat Takeda on his shoulder, "I'm already hurt, though." The black-haired boy laughed as his tears slowly dropped down, "Now, the movie is starting let's put all the emotions aside and watch the film," he continued as he whipped away the tears. After an hour of the movie Takeda fell asleep on Kise's shoulder. 'The film it's getting boring, no wonder why Takecchi fell asleep' Kise thought and brushed the black-hair away from Takeda's face, 'Takecchi's sleeping face is cute!' the blonde blushed and poked Takeda's face. In split second the sleeping boy pinned down Kise with arms wrapped around his waist, and him between his legs, 'God, if you don't move away now I will lose control!' Kise thought. "Mmm, you're always so fluffy…" Takeda murmured and nuzzled Kise's belly. Kise got redder and somehow got turned on by looking at the sleeping boy. "I love you…" Takeda whispered and smiled; Kise got surprise, did he just said that he loved him? Long chained questions appeared in his head, did he really mean it? Looked back at the black-haired boy; he was going to say something, Kise got all excited as he watched him, "I love you…" he continued, "Kuma, I love you so much," he murmured. All excitement Kise felt disappear, "So mean!" he cried and woke up the sleeping boy, "Ummm, R-Ryou? S-Sorry," Takeda whispered and tried to pull away, but Kise wrapped his arms around him and pushed him to his broad chest, "You have been naughty, I must punish you," Kise smirked.
