A/N: Yo guys, sorry I didn't update this weekend, but I went back to my house and I don't have a laptop so I couldn't work on it. I'm so glad you guys loved the last chapter ;) You guys are seriously great.

Oh and I'm not sure how many chapters long this will be, I mean I have a pretty solid idea of the end and a few things I need to add on the way there but idk how long it'll take to get there. I'm thinking this story will reach 60,000+ words maybe even more. So, be ready guys.


Kuroko was the shadow of the Old World's kingdom, he was used to being the errand boy for important matters, setting up meetings between factions or high-end vampires, even occasionally being an assassin. These were the very meager things in his life that filled his day-to-day doings. What most knew when they got to know him was that through being the shadow he came to know and notice a lot more than most would give him credit for.

So when Kagami Taiga had transferred to the Old World's army, and into Seirin's platoon, things started stirring. Sure, it wasn't obvious, but to his keen pale blue eyes, it wasn't shocking. He didn't know if it was solely Kagami's fault for the things that were happening, but he did know that he was affecting the people here. For good or bad was still to be seen in most. Yet, Kuroko knew one person whom was affected for the better, and that was his longtime friend Aomine.

Aomine had always been lazy, grumpy, and downright aggravating for most of his life. But there had been a time in his life that he had once smiled more openly (although that had taken a couple years after his turning to come about), his eyes had a light burning bright in them, and he didn't have innocence per say – more like a happier more optimistic view on the world. That all changed when his passion had died for sword fighting and magic, things were too simple – too easy.

There was no challenge for him, everyone too scared to view him as anything other than a monster. Even among vampires he was seen as the most vicious, tenacious monster there was. None took the time to realize anything other than his monstrous sword and magic skills. That was all he was defined by, all that they would see.

It hadn't affected Aomine right away of course, at first Kuroko only noticed that his eyes seemed so very dull compared to how full of life they had been before. He started slacking in his sword and magic studies – saying that he had already learned everything there was and perfected them. Kuroko had admittedly panicked a bit at that, he could see what was happening but there didn't seem to be anything he could do. Then about two hundred years ago or so Akashi changed Haizaki to fill the seventh seat that had been empty.

Things seemed to pick up for a while in Aomine's case, Haizaki proved to be a good distraction from the loneliness and despair he had been feeling. Haizaki's skills of taking magic and sword styles for his own proved to be difficult for Aomine, showing him that perhaps he had misjudged the fact he had reached the pinnacle of his abilities. His smile came back and his laughter seemed louder than ever – even though he could barely stand Haizaki's personality, fighting with him was exciting.

When Haizaki had been beaten so many times that Aomine realized yet again that he had conquered another foe completely. Even with his stealing powers Haizaki was no match for Aomine, he could no longer use those moves to the fullest because Aomine made them special to him and him alone which in turn made it useless to Haizaki. It made him so bitter.

Bitter that his hope was once again being crushed. Kuroko could barely stand being near Aomine because it made him start hating it too. And Kuroko loved fighting and magic more than anything. So he distanced himself from his friend, and that made him blind to how Aomine's despair was affecting the others'. The others too became so arrogant and full of themselves that each seemed distant from each other. Their Old World's purebloods were slowly being consumed by their overbearing powers.

Out of them all Haizaki was by far the worst. Aomine's complete domination against Haizaki had made him angry which slowly stewed and turned to hatred. This hatred caused him to have these devious thoughts that he should be the one to rule, that he shouldn't just be 'seventh seat' because Akashi was the first. So around a year and half ago, he was found out to be trying to collect other vampires and humans to overthrow Akashi.

Akashi and the rest had gathered for a meeting the first time in a hundred years, excluding Aomine – who couldn't be bothered with such trivial things of course. Akashi had shown what traitorous things were brewing about under their noses, stuff that Kuroko himself had found. They were understandably angry, and most wanted retribution (mostly Midorima who had no patience for traitors). They all shouted for judgment, that he should be thrown out or killed, and this is where Kuroko had come in.

Kuroko had spoken to them, pleaded more like, to see that they were no better than Haizaki. That them wanting to kill him would only be stooping to his level, that they in turn would be just as corrupt. By some stroke of luck this seemed to have calmed them into thinking clearly. Akashi's eyes were finally showing something other than the dominating arrogance that he they had been. He then spoke on what they would do – they would give Haizaki one more chance to prove himself.

Of course he hadn't taken the warning to heart since Haizaki had been too far-gone. His 'other' had already taken over too much of his mind and soul. One day had apparently been enough to make him snap, perhaps it was losing once again to Aomine, or that Momoi had chosen Kuroko over him, to which was the cause they would never know. All they knew was that when Aomine was in his trance that night around a year ago Haizaki had snuck in and slashed his chest with a blood poisoned knife. He would have done more if Midorima hadn't been walking by to hear the commotion.

This caused the events that had happened a year ago – Haizaki was thrown out just as the stirrings of war in the New World were beginning to show. Kise had come back from the New World from his emissary mission to fill the seventh seat and everything became stagnant. Until Kagami showed up. Kuroko knew there was something about Kagami that was unlike any other person he'd ever met before.

He was beginning to suspect the cause of that feeling, but he was still unsure of his hypothesis. Kagami's inability to control any of the human magic was a huge factor for the hypothesis, but he needed to test one more thing before he'd have a more narrowed down idea of exactly what Kagami was, because human was certainly not what he was or at least not completely.

Kuroko had a good feel for people, so when he had seen Kagami and Aomine fighting he had known that this was a turning point – for what he wasn't sure. Though he knew that Aomine was clearly affected. Kagami had shown him a good enough fight, enough passion, and enough fearlessness towards him that Aomine was quite clearly shocked. The slightly wide eyed look when Kagami had parried, or when each time Aomine sped up the supposedly human Kagami had unconsciously sped up to match him. Almost like he was the rival he'd been waiting for.

It made Kuroko very happy, because he could see the light returning to Aomine's eyes. They clearly had something that no one else could touch. And when the soul string had tied them together, Kuroko could tell that this may be the push needed to bring those idiots to realize the connection they had since both had unconsciously been avoiding the other after the opening ceremony. Thankfully Takao was as devious as Kuroko was, and had made the soul string to disappear after three days.

Kuroko had awakened from his trance this morning and he figured that he would see how they had been progressing since yesterday afternoon. It was always amusing to catch people unaware, and because he had unlimited access to every room – even Akashi's – he merely opened a portal and stepped through to Aomine's room.

Even yesterday the tension between them was so high that he was surprised actual sparks didn't crackle through the air. So when he walked in the room and found clothes strewn on the floor and two bare bodies tangled together on the bed was he shocked? Not particularly. In fact, seeing the relaxed small smile on Aomine's face a part of him was extremely relieved. Though he would have rather not had to see his friends naked except for a practically see-through sheet to find out they were 'together'.

Somehow his presence must have been felt unconsciously because Kagami started to stir in Aomine's arms. Kagami's eyes opened blearily and he wiped at them to fully wake up. Red orbs glanced around the room, and widened, then looked down at the tanned arm around his waist that was clearly not his. His mouth opened and closed a couple of times, as the previous nights memories flooded back into his now conscious mind.

Kuroko stared on in amusement as Kagami was obviously about to panic, "Kagami-kun. I see you had a good night." With those few words Kagami looked up into blue eyes – that were not Aomine's – and screeched very unmanly like. He tried to jump out of the bed but the tan arm clutched at him tighter as Aomine broke out of his trance. "The fuck Bakagami?! It's still morning!"

Aomine growled low in his throat when Kagami tried to wriggle out of his grasp again. He peered over the shoulder to look at Kagami's face, which had grown red at the fact that Aomine's still naked body was pressing against his. Kagami could feel every hard angle and muscle of Aomine's chest against his back, warm hips pushed closely against his backside where he could obviously feel the part of Aomine's body that he had – oh god he had jerked him off and fucking liked it! He didn't think his cheeks could get any redder.

Kagami shoved those thoughts out and did the only thing he could in such an embarrassing moment – he got angry. "Shut the hell up Aomine! Kuroko freaking popped out of no where!"

"Kuroko?" Aomine asked confused.

"Hello Aomine-kun."

Aomine twitched a bit as the figure appeared in front of the bed, just a couple steps away from them. "Tetsu, when the hell'd you get there?"

"Just a few moments before Kagami woke up."

"Oh, alright."

Kagami gaped at them both, "oh, alright," he mocked. "WHAT?! Why are you guys so blasé about this?" He turned his head to face Aomine, whom was raising a brow at him, "You! We just got caught naked, together… in bed, and your reaction is 'oh alright'?" Kagami pointed a finger at Kuroko, "and you! With that blank face of yours, I can't tell if you're completely fine with this or laughing at me! Shouldn't you be gasping in shock or disgust? Maybe running out screaming?" Kagami groaned in annoyance, before hitting his head on the pillow. "This place is absolutely crazy. Everyone here is nuts." Aomine snorted, Kagami was just being dramatic.

"I think that includes you too Kagami-kun. And why should I be disgusted, vampires have lived for so long that sexuality doesn't matter, only those who make you happy. If Aomine-kun makes Kagami-kun happy and Kagami-kun makes Aomine-kun happy, then I in turn am happy for you both." Kuroko stated firmly as he looked down at the face still buried in the pillow.

"Who said this baka makes me happy?" Aomine asked.

"Well, I'd say that the teeth marks in Kagami-kun's neck and the cum on his chest says it very clearly."

Aomine chuckled, "Touché, but that only means I like his blood and body."

"Can you guys just shut the fuck up? I'm still here you know?" Kagami didn't want to admit that some of the bite in his tone was due to the fact that Aomine was probably telling the truth, that all he cared about was his blood.

"Kagami-kun, how mean. I would never forget you were there."

"You bastard, you're enjoying this aren't you?" Kagami finally turned his head to glare at Kuroko's blank innocent face.

"Of course not."

Aomine yawned, picking at his ear with the hand that was no longer around Kagami's waist. "Waddaya want Tetsu? If you don't mind Kagami and I were busy."

Kagami glared at him now, "we were not busy. I was about to get up anyways."

"Oh? By all means, get up, you'll have to find your clothes though," Aomine said deviously. "Kuroko doesn't mind," he looked at the pale blue eyes that had a twinkle in them, "do you Kuroko?"

"Not at all Aomine-kun."

Sighing Kagami resigned himself to lying in the bed, these guys are way too evil, what had he been thinking last night? No, he hadn't been thinking at all that was the problem. "You guys suck."

At the tone of defeat and annoyance Kagami used Aomine let out an actual laugh, which made Kagami and Kuroko stare in amazement. It was the first time Kagami had heard Aomine laugh, not chuckle or huff of amusement. Hearing the husky voice laugh was absolutely mesmerizing to Kagami. He took in the soothing waves and unconsciously relaxed back into Aomine's body, his eyes softening. Kuroko caught the look and couldn't believe it; these two idiots still didn't know what they had between them. Although they had progressed in one area of their relationship, it seems in others they were still behind.

Once he stopped laughing Kuroko spoke up, "I was wondering if you would want to go for breakfast? Murasakibara and the other cooks aren't working right now but we can see if something is in the kitchen."

Right then Kagami's stomach gave a howl of hunger, "That sounds good. I'm starved."

Aomine looked at the dried blood on the redhead's neck, the slightly tanned skin, and love bites all down his neck and licked his lips, "me too."

"Sorry Aomine-kun, you can eat Kagami-kun later." Kagami let out another annoyed, yet embarrassed groan before throwing a pillow at Kuroko.

"Get out you bastard!"

"See you in the kitchen in a half hour Kagami-kun, Aomine-kun." With that Kuroko pulled up a portal and stepped out, leaving them to each other.


He had taken a shower first, so that he could get all this dried blood off of himself. Kagami tried to avoid Aomine as much as he could, not that it was working since he couldn't stand more than two feet away from the guy. They didn't talk after Kuroko had left, and that made Kagami a little relieved. What exactly was he supposed to say after all? Were they supposed to talk about their feelings? Kagami snorted at that, like the bastard Aomine felt anything other than bloodlust, regular lust, and anger. He was just the convenient person at the time… right?

As he was dressing his mind kept whispering things to him like, he was nice to you, calmed you down, and saved you from the nightmare. He was probably laughing at him on the inside, he argued back, not to helping him. Why would he go in your dreams if you were convenient? He risked his life to save you. These thoughts kept pouring in his brain, as soon as he batted one away the next would appear. Though there was no doubt, after listening to his thoughts for a while, that he was in the wrong. Kagami was the one who had made a prejudgment about Aomine. In fact, he barely knew anything about the guy.

It made him feel guilty that he had judged Aomine. Kagami glanced at Aomine getting ready out of the corner of his eye. He was waiting for the feeling of disgust, regret, or even the feeling of being used. None of it came… and that, well he didn't know what to do with that. He couldn't feel disgusted by what he had done because it had honestly felt good it felt right. And that in itself kind of freaked him out.

Aomine caught him looked and smirked, "we still have time for round two."

Kagami growled, "Eat dick, Aomine."

He chuckled, "is that an invitation?"

"S-Shut up," he turned away and slipped his yukata over his undershirt and pants. "Let's go get food."

Kagami followed after Aomine as he strode towards the kitchen after they decided to just walk there, no use using a portal when it was so close to Aomine's room. When he had looked for Momoi a couple days ago he had mapped out most of the rooms in the mansion, so he knew exactly where they were going. It wasn't a far walk, only taking them a couple of minutes, but they were oddly silent. Now that they were out of the room Kagami could see that Aomine's once relaxed face was now tight and stiff. His stomach dropped, what happened to that playful, smiling Aomine? He didn't know why but he wanted to see Aomine laugh more, he wanted to hear it again. So he had to break this tension that was coming between them. Somehow.

Kagami pushed Aomine playfully with his shoulder, giving him a grin, "bet I can beat you to the kitchen!"

"Haa? You think you're faster than a vampire?"

"No, just faster than you."

"Dumbass that's the same thing," he replied, but nonetheless a competitive spark showed. "You're on. Loser cooks."

"Fine," and without waiting Kagami shot off in the direction of the kitchen.

Aomine growled, "You cheat! Wait for the signal!" Then he too shot off in the same direction, quickly catching up to Kagami. When he passed by him it caused Kagami to anger and try and push himself faster. Each time Aomine started passing up Kagami he too would gain a burst of speed, until the door finally came into view.

Smirking, Aomine waved his fingers slightly without Kagami noticing and a small puddle of water appeared right as he stepped down. Kagami's face planted on the ground with an 'oomph' and Aomine couldn't help cracking up at the shock on his face. As Aomine was about to open the kitchen door first Kagami scowled but somehow managed to grab the back of Aomine's yukata and he too fell to the floor while the door swung open.

Inside Kuroko and Momoi looked on in amusement as Kagami tried to shove Aomine out of the way and get through the door first. Unfortunately for him another puddle of water was waiting and he slipped yet again, causing Aomine to jump over him into the kitchen yelling triumphantly.

"Ha! Take that Bakagami!" Kagami picked himself off the floor trying to look angry that he had lost, but seeing the small smug smile on Aomine's face made him grin sheepishly at the people in the kitchen.

"Guess I lost," he chuckled. Aomine stared at him a little weirded out, and Kagami coughed and tried to save face by adding, "Of course I'll beat your ass next time! Ahomine!" Momoi was stifling her laughter behind her hand as Kuroko cracked a smile at the two of them. It was obvious that Kagami hadn't been upset that he lost.

"Yeah yeah. That's what you say every time Bakagami, and since you lost you cook."

Kagami shot him a glare, "well maybe I lost on purpose so I wouldn't have to eat your cooking."

"Like you could think ahead like that."

"Oi! I'm not that stupid!"

"Mhmmm," Aomine hummed complacently.

"Nice of you to finally join us," Momoi giggled. She turned to Aomine, "I'm surprised you got up on your own this morning Dai-chan." Pointedly looking at Kagami she gave Aomine a look, "must've been a good reason."

He scowled at her, "I couldn't go back to bed with this idiot yapping in my ear."

"I'm not a damn dog, alright?" Kagami tugged on the string to make Aomine stumble as he walked to the fridge to gather a few things. "I don't 'yap'."

"Could've fooled me."

"I don't think you should be talking Aomine-kun," Kuroko said, and ignoring the 'hey!' spoke to the redhead, "Kagami-kun, what are you making today?"

"Didn't you guys get here first? Why didn't you make something?"

Kuroko looked up at him with his wide blue eyes, "but Kagami-kun, I wanted to eat your delicious food."

Kagami pursed his lips, trying to look irritated, and huffed. "Alright alright. Just stop looking at me like that."

Aomine snickered on the sidelines as he was starting to prepare the miso soup and was silenced by a punch to the gut. "Do something useful aho, like make rice."

Momoi sweat dropped, "uhh, I think it's better if he didn't." Kuroko nodded vigorously from behind Aomine.

"Shut up Satsuki, your cooking is even worse than mine." Kagami frowned, what's up with them calling them by their first names? They obviously weren't dating… he shook his head, why should he care?

Kagami glared at Kuroko, "you woke us up so you could have me make you breakfast huh?"

"I don't know what you're talking about Kagami-kun." He sighed and pinched his nose as he got the fish ready to cook, occasionally stirring the miso soup. All the while Aomine was closely looking at him, watching, as his movements were smooth and almost ingrained. Kagami looked very elegant in the kitchen, Aomine smirked.

"You certainly know your way around a kitchen, eh baka? Maybe being tied to you isn't so bad."

"I'm not your slave Aomine," placing the lid back on the pan he started getting the rice ready, "and if I were you I'd be quiet or else you wont get any food."

Aomine threw an arm around Kagami's waist, drawing him back against him while snickering lowly. "Are you sure you don't want to be my slave?" he whispered, his voice velvety as he brushed his hands over the redheads stomach lightly. "You certainly didn't mind last night in obeying my orders…"

Momoi gaped at them, and Kuroko spoke to her lowly about what he had found that morning as Kagami and Aomine were in their own world. A knowing look appeared in her eyes and she gave Kagami a reproving glance as she noticed the shine in Aomine's face.

Gazing up over his shoulder with a menacing stare Kagami flicked Aomine's forehead, which made him yelp and let go of him. "What the hell?"

"I'm nobodies slave, and I wasn't obeying your orders. That's for damn sure."

"Haa? What would you call that then?"

He huffed, looking at the soup, "I'd say it was… doing what I wanted and it so happened to be what you were saying."

"Kagami-kun, that's the same thing."

"You're not helping Kuroko." Kagami realized the food was done and used that as a distraction so everyone would drop the current conversation's topic. "Someone grab a plate and two bowls for each of us." Aomine peered over his shoulder, once again getting in his space, making his eyebrow twitch in annoyance.

"What'd you make? It actually smells alright."

"Miso soup, boiled fish and… wait, smells alright? Geez, cant even give a real compliment can you?" He sneered while saying it, but when he turned back to dish up the food with the dishes Kuroko had gotten a small blush was across his face. How come a shitty compliment like that was making his heart race?

They all sat down around the table and said, "Itadakimasu," before digging into the food he had prepared.

"Wow, Kagamin! This is delicious, you have to teach me how to make this."

Kagami was confused, "Um, it's just simple fish and miso soup with rice."

Snorting into his food Aomine couldn't help adding, "Satsuki, you couldn't even make rice even if all you had to do was dish it up. Somehow you'd fuck it up."

"OW! What the fuck Tetsu!" Aomine glared at the blue haired guy next to him. Kagami burst out laughing at the face he had made.

"Don't be mean to my mate Aomine-kun."

"Tetsu-kun~! I knew you loved me!" Momoi had sparkles in her eyes as she glomped him over the table.

Since this was Kagami's first time seeing the very reserved girl turn into a crazed loving mate, he gawked. It was so different and this time Aomine was laughing at him. "Shut up aho," he shoved his face away with his spare hand.

"Ah, that reminds me, Aomine-kun." This made the two of them stop fighting and look over. "Speaking of mates. Now that you've bitten Kagami you need to be careful."

Aomine merely looked uninterested as he picked his ear, waving a hand lazily, "yeah yeah. I know."

Kagami blinked. "What?"

Kuroko leaned over more to get closer to Aomine, "I don't think you do. Make sure to take precautions."

"What precautions?" Kagami was once again ignored.

"Tetsu, I'm not a child. I've been a vampire for hundreds of years now. You're as bad as Satsuki, trying to mother me."

"You don't do a good job showing it," Momoi muttered, making Kuroko smile a bit.

"Just remember what you learned. Don't make a stupid mistake."

"Can someone tell me what the fucks going on?"

"Kagamin, not now, we need to make sure Dai-chan gets this through his stubborn head." The pink haired girl smiled complacently towards the redhead, who just exhaled noisily and gave up to continue eating. "Tetsu-kun is right, you need to exercise precaution, and because you're tied together it may be different."

"Will you both just leave me alone? I'm not a fucking idiot. Alright?" Aomine was starting to get pissed off. Kuroko and Momoi always tried to do this to him.

Kuroko's face softened slightly at the aggravated tone, "alright Aomine-kun. I'm just worried is all."

For the first time Kagami saw a look pass over Aomine's face that wasn't anger or lust. Aomine seemed almost gentle, "I know Tetsu." Kagami felt his stomach give another swirl, and thought, why's Kuroko so special? Then felt horrible for even thinking that, Kuroko was a nice guy; despite the various times that he was a brat. He knew that Kuroko cared for them all even though he didn't show it. Shaking his head he stuffed his mouth full of fish and rice, oddly silent for the rest of the meal.


Later that day Kagami was absolutely exhausted. He felt like a babysitter for a grown man. Aomine wouldn't be so bad to hang around if he hadn't been literally tied to him. This made it quite difficult to do any of the stuff that he needed to do, such as work in the mess hall with Murasakibara hanging over his shoulder. Or when he was trying to practice sword fighting with someone else (since Aomine and him obviously couldn't), and he had just lain there lazily making Kagami trip up when he couldn't move his footing far from Aomine, which his opponent used against him all the damn time.

Aomine laughed at him and made degrading remarks about his swordplay, but he didn't say much back because most of it was true. Though after Aomine told (insulted) him, he would fix it and be better off afterwards. He had beaten his opponents (the Kaijo regiment – who had offered since they were the reason he was in this mess in the first place), and was now lying under the white willow tree next to the lake.

"Urgh, so tireeddd," he groaned out, moving to his side facing Aomine.

"That's because your light's too dim."

"Oh fuck off. You didn't even do anything today. Lazy bastard."

"I don't have to do anything to beat you."

"Whatever. I'm too tired for this shit right now."

It was quiet for a bit more, Kagami didn't want to move, but he couldn't stand the silence. "…So…"

Aomine raised a brow, finally cracking an eye open to stare at the redhead. "So?"

"How'd you become a vampire?" It was the first thing that Kagami had thought up, but now that he said it, it was kind of a private topic though he couldn't take it back now. The silence carried on, and right when Kagami opened his mouth Aomine spoke up in a mocking way.

"Well, you see, I was bitten by Akashi, and his venom changed me."

"Why did I even ask?" Kagami grumbled turning away from the blue haired vampire.

A sigh was heard, "I was dying, and Akashi found me and decided I was worth more alive than dead."

Stiffening in surprise at the admission, he peeked over his shoulder. "Dying?"

Aomine was staring at the sky nostalgically, "I was a prince of the country that was fighting against Akashi back in the days when he wasn't completely absolute. My father went against him because back then vampires weren't a common thing and weren't accepted as they are today." He shifted so his right arm was behind his head, and his left was playing with grass he had pulled up from the ground. "All we knew back then was the vampires thirsted for blood, and most couldn't control it very well. I had wanted to fight, since we were renowned for our sword skills, and I was the best after all. But my father disagreed and took a few guards and me to the throne room to barricade us in."

A scowl was prominent on his face; "he was a coward, plain and simple. When we heard the guards dying screams my father stabbed my mother then me in the back as Akashi came in the room, hoping that our blood would draw him towards us as he fled." He snorted, amused, but Kagami could see the pain in his eyes, "My mother died in my arms…" Aomine was now glaring at his hand as he released the grass, wind taking it in its grasps and carried it away.

A lump was in the middle of Kagami's throat. That was just plain awful. His father killed his mother then almost his son. There was nothing he could say to make that better, but he wanted to. Thankfully before Kagami said something stupid like 'it'll be alright (because it wouldn't)' or 'I'm here now (which where had that even come from?)' Aomine continued speaking in his suspiciously monotone voice.

"Akashi had given me a choice then, die alongside my mother with our souls forever restless, or join the monster that had caused my father to turn on us so that I could get my revenge and give my mothers soul peace… and here I am." Aomine's eyes shifted to the side, his mouth had spoken by itself. Kagami out of everyone may know how he feels, seeing as he hadn't had his own parents for Kami knows how long, and his brain had only now caught up with what he was exposing so easily. "But don't think you can pity me Bakagami, I made my bed and I have to lay in it," he snapped, eyes burning bright with something that made Kagami's eyes soften and lift himself up and press his lips against Aomine's.

Kagami leaned over his body and moved his hand behind to grasp at Aomine's neck, gently brushing the hair there while deepening the kiss. He used the angle to his advantage and melded his lips harder against the others, Aomine's widened eyes were now lidded and he slowly started to respond.

It was very unlike the kisses they had shared the night before. Those had been steamy, hungry, and full of tongue. But this was soft and gentle, almost chaste. Aomine's arms wrapped around Kagami's middle and he dragged him down against his chest. One hand brushed through his hair and tugged it lightly as the other slid across Kagami's spine, making him shiver.

When Kagami pulled away, they stared at each other, not speaking at all. There was a strange feeling between them both, but neither wanted to break it. Realizing that he had been staring like a love-struck girl, Aomine cleared his throat, shifting himself up so Kagami was sitting next to him. Yawning so as to act unaffected by what had just happened he turned to the slightly flushed redhead, "Let's go back to the room, I'm tired." Kagami could only nod, still in a daze.

What the hell was that?

Kagami had to admit to himself as they walked back that he wouldn't mind kissing him again like that. And he didn't quite know what to do with that acknowledgment.


A/N: Yay, so you learned a bit about Aomine now. I figured it was about time. Sorry if this was kinda a filler, but it kinda wasn't at the same time. This wasn't really about the plot, more about their relationship.

I made this longer since I didn't update this weekend.

Reviews are love :3
