Chapter 2: Aomine and Kuroko Were Each Other's First Boyfriend

Just as obviously that Tatsuya was Kagami's first boyfriend, Aomine was Kuroko's first boyfriend, and Kuroko was Aomine's first boyfriend. Aomine never considered boys until Kuroko.

Kuroko was always a bit of a contradiction. He was quiet yet forceful, reasonable yet stubborn, invisible yet blunt. Because he was so "quiet and invisible," Aomine took him to be some soft spoken shy kid. Soft spoken, yes. Shy? No.

In their first real conversation Aomine made some sarcastic remark for a joke, and Kuroko immediately came back with an incredibly blunt truth about Aomine, which would make anyone overhearing their conversation laugh, but Aomine was just stunned.

The way their relationship started was somewhat tied to the team plan to have them partner up together. They'd always sit next to each other on the bench. They had the bro-fist they did. Imagine Aomine going in for the first one ever, and Kuroko just looked at him, confused. He knew what Aomine was doing, but he didn't know why. So, Aomine had to explain why he was giving a brofist, and the explanation was the first real compliment he'd ever given Kuroko.

On the bus to games, they'd sit in the same seat, and Kuroko would always lean on his shoulder. On the bus home from games, sometimes Kuroko would fall asleep. Other players would ask Aomine if it bothered him, or why didn't it bother him that he was like Kuroko's furniture. Aomine just brushed them off. They were just the reserve players. He didn't need to explain to them. The other Miracles kind of understood, though Murasakibara was the only one who would repeatedly ask the question on other occasions, not understanding at all, sometimes not remembering that'd he'd asked before.

Kuroko and Aomine would always hang out on the walk home from school, sometimes spending time at each other's houses. They almost always argued if they talked about anything other than basketball, BUT they just liked being near each other: leaning, stretching their legs over each other, arm around the shoulder. They were unusually comfortable with pretty much no physical boundaries between them.

The way their relationship began, they were watching a movie together at Aomine's place. Kuroko was actually sitting between his legs and Aomine had his arms wrapped around him like he was a teddy bear, occasionally resting his chin on top of Kuroko's head. When the movie was over, Kuroko turned his head to see that Aomine had fallen asleep, and he smiled. Aomine's chin was resting on his chest, his breathing deep and even. Kuroko looked at him for minute and then strained his neck to kiss Aomine on the lips. It was very light. He only held it for a couple seconds, but when Kuroko pulled away Aomine had drowsily awoken. It took him a few moments to wake up and realize what had just happened.

"Tetsu—wha? Why did you—?" Aomine's eyes were a little wide.

"Aomine-kun looked cute sleeping." He shrugged.

"That's—that's it?" Aomine's voice raised an octave, as he facepalmed himself.

"Why can't that be it?"Kuroko asked as calm as ever.

"Because! You don't go around kissing just—ANYBODY," he shouted.

"I didn't kiss just anybody. I kissed Aomine-kun. But—If Aomine-kun disliked it so much, then I guess I won't—" He started to get up from Aomine's lap, but Aomine grabbed his arm tightly, so he couldn't stand up.

"I didn't—" Aomine was blushing furiously, and looking at the wall instead of Kuroko. "I didn't say I disliked it." Kuroko's face softened and he sat back down.

So, when Kuroko pulled Aomine's face down to him, Aomine didn't resist, and Kuroko gave him a proper kiss, which he gently returned.

Their relationship would consist of Kuroko bluntly admitting things he thinks about, or wants to do, and Aomine just always shushing him, and frantically looking around to see if anyone overheard. Now, it had nothing to do with hiding their relationship. It was more like privacy. If Kuroko turns to you in the cafeteria and asks if you've been together long enough to have sex, or that he wants to be on top, the average reaction would be to shush him. Aomine blushes at all these things when t it's just the two of them, so he certainly doesn't want these details to be broadcasted.

There was the one time Kuroko said he had a dream about Aomine, and when he started going into detail, it sounded like he was summarizing an adult video. So after the first time Kuroko said, "I had a dream about Aomine-kun," all times after that Aomine will always proceed to slap his hand over Kuroko's mouth, even if no one was around. "Save it for later." He'd say, code for "when we're alone or elsewhere."

They took it quite slow. Kuroko seemed to know what he wanted to do most of the time, and Aomine would just always be on the receiving end. They'd make out, Kuroko would start trailing kisses down his torso, and licking and biting to illicit reactions. Aomine would just watch him with a smile, and savoring every touch, and when they returned to kissing he would wrap his arms tightly around Kuroko pinning them together.

It's funny. Kuroko was the one who started the relationship, but Aomine was definitely the more attached one, "Tetsu this," and "Tetsu that," and every time they hugged he would inhale the scent of his hair. He'd watch him fall asleep after a busy day. He just always wanted Kuroko around. So if they went a day or more without seeing each other, he'd usually be waiting outside Kuroko's house to walk with him to school because he couldn't go any longer without seeing him.

Aomine was incredibly nervous for the first time, but excited because "it was Tetsu." Kuroko was in the lead of this relationship. He topped the first few times, as they got used to this new side to their relationship. They tried face to face, but Kuroko preferred behind, lying against Aomine's back, and being able to wrap his arms around Aomine and trace sensitive spots on his chest and abs, and trailing kisses and bites down his back. Aomine would gasp his name while he was inside him.

It was Kuroko, and not Aomine, to first suggest that Aomine should also try topping. Aomine hadn't even considered it, but Kuroko wouldn't have brought it up if he didn't want to do it.

Aomine, for the first time, was on the giving end, exploring Kuroko and trying to get responses out of him like all the times Kuroko had done so to him. He was already turned on just from their makeout session and planting kisses all over Kuroko's torso, but when he tweaked one of Kuroko's nipples, Kuroko moaned out his name, and Aomine felt like he was overflowing with heat. Aomine preferred face to face with Kuroko on top of him so he could watch every reaction. And he could easily kiss whenever he wanted.

They traded off pretty evenly. Neither was a permanent top because both were such different experiences. They wanted all of it. And it all depended on what they were each craving that day.

Aomine and Kuroko's end was much sadder than Kagami and Tatsuya's unfinished business, "not really an end," end.

With Aomine's growing boredom with basketball, his belief he will never lose, and his abandonment of Kuroko in the Teiko games, Kuroko basically vanished from Aomine's life entirely. And without basketball between them, Aomine didn't feel like he had the right to go and search for Kuroko. He was the one that told Kuroko not to pass to him anymore. To go and ask for anything of Kuroko, to want anything of him, he'd lost the right when he put a stop to their basketball partnership.

He had no right to search for Tetsu not that he thought that he could find him even though they go to the same school. If there was one thing Tetsu had down, it was how to not be seen. He sort of hated himself because he really wanted to still keep Tetsu, but he felt like he'd permanently broken their relationship with his actions. The boredom plus this somewhat self-inflicted misery made him quite bitter.

And poor Kuroko was left believing that Aomine, in all ways, not just basketball, didn't want him anymore, so he was depressed and sad and disappointed. If things had stayed as they were before this, he might have gone to the same school as Aomine.

NOTE: I'm actually really pleased with the scene of their first kiss. I can picture it so clearly.
