Hey, everyone. I don't like to take up space with a kind of personal commentary before I start. I just want to say that I know that the two are just starting to get together and it's chapter four. I know it's slow going, but it'll pick up soon. :)
Chapter Four:
God, I wish that it would just be whatever time it is that my replacement comes so I can go man the water slide. At least at that point there's a good chance that someone will either drown or need my help. Normally Aomine didn't have such dark thoughts, but after cutting from Kuroko's apartment that abruptly that morning and then getting chewed out by the boss for being an hour late, Aomine was feeling moody. It was a slow day for the pool (for some reason Sundays are slow), and he wasn't in the mood to be at work when he could be with Kuroko.

"Come on, Momoi! We're gonna get there late and then we'll be waiting forever!" Momoi couldn't see why Kuroko was so impatient to get to the pool. What was the point in rushing if they both knew that it would be a slow day? This wasn't there first Sunday at the public pool.
"What's your hurry, Kuro-chan? Some cute lifeguard working today, or what?" Momoi slyly looked over at Kuroko as her taunt hit home, causing a normally emotionless boy to blush bright red. "So it is a cute lifeguard! I guessed as much! Could it be the 10 we dragged home from the party last night? His head must definitely be killing him in this sun-" Kuroko frowned, he hadn't thought that Aomine might be in pain. "But then, he has those sexy shades that he always wears, so maybe it won't be so bad."
The two chattered away as they fast walked the normal route to the public pool. They guy at the desk waved them on in, and they both changed quickly, arriving on the other side in record time. Kuroko blinked slowly at the bright sunshine and the lack of people in front of him. Momoi headed off in the direction of the water slide, with Kuroko about to follow, when she turned around on him abruptly. "I think that, today, you should go spend some time alone. In the pool. Over there." She pointed toward the large, mostly empty pool which was where Aomine was currently stationed, and he was looking mighty bored. "Go pretend to drown or something. Just make sure I'm around when he does the mouth-to-mouth," she whispered playfully as she spun him around and pushed him in the pool.
Kuroko came up sputtering, screaming, "You asshole!" after a disappearing Momoi's back, her hair and hips swaying as she walked away laughing. At that expletive, the mothers in the pool area turned and glared at Kuroko as he tried valiantly to hide himself in the water. Aomine merely zoned in on Kuroko, recognizing his voice immediately. He stood up and walked around the pool to where Kuroko was floating on his own.
"Sir, if you don't watch what you say I'm going to have to ask you to leave this pool or move deeper in where there aren't as many kids." Outraged, Kuroko looked up and spluttered some sort of response about it being Momoi's fault before giving in and saying, "Yes, cute lifeguard." Aomine's heart about halted at that point and his eyebrows raised themselves about the edges of his Aviators. Kuroko merely blushed and quickly swam to the middle of the deep end where Aomine knew Kuroko was surely not touching the bottom of the pool. He only sighed as he walked back to his station and watched the entire pool, paying special attention to a certain light-blue haired guy floating all on his own in the deep end.
