Kagami was making some food in the kitchen very early in the morning, wearing only his black jeans – and underwear, of course. He wasn't able to sleep well. He woke up once in a while, about two times in hour. Last night made him think about so many things.

What was Kuroko even thinking last nigh? Why was he drunk? What was he talking about? Even if he was drunk, did he mean what he said? Or did he just lie to both of them?

That idiot.

They'd have to talk when that sleepyhead would get up.

oooooooooooooo

A pounding headache woke Kuroko up in late morning. Clock told that it was almost noon. But it didn't matter to him. He had no reason to go to sleep early and get up before the Sun would rise. No. He could come and go like it felt good.

After some time of pointless laying and rolling in the sheets he finally got up, still wearing all his clothes – jeans, shirt, and a hoodie. No wonder his body felt hot and breathing wasn't easy.

God. Why did he drink again? Hopefully Taiga would give him some aspirin.

Man walked slowly to kitchen. His hair was a total mess. Seeing that bedhead made his corners of the mouth rise a bit.

"Morning, beautiful" he said quickly, hinting on that blue mess that was covering Kuroko's head, pure sarcasm hidden in his tone. The kitchen air was full of different scents from fried eggs to sweet, fresh orange juice. It made him feel even worse. It was so close that he didn't throw up on the floor.

Without saying anything Tetsuya walked to the table and sat down. It was way too easy to see that he was now regretting that he drank yesterday. Kagami brought some fresh orange juice that had some pulp in it and a white pill on a small plate to him.

"Your breakfast" he said, wide smile on his lips.

Bluenette thanked silently, before he swallowed that pill and drank that fresh juice full of vitamins and energy. It made him feel immediately a bit better.

Kagami sat on the other side of the table, to the opposite of him. He didn't eat anything – he had probably done it already. He just sat there, staring at the smaller one silently, before he opened his mouth.

"What the hell was that yesterday?" he asked straight. He really wanted to know what Tetsuya had in mind. Of course he wouldn't get perfect answer. He was drunk yesterday, and probably didn't remember everything he had said and done.

"...I don't know... I'm sorry for all this burden" he apologized silently, with a polite tone in his voice. He tried to hide his nausea by keeping his voice as steady as possible – he failed doing it. Kagami could hear and see trough him.

"You know that I was really worried about you. What happened was very reckless" he kept preaching with his strong voice.

"I know..."

Taiga let an annoying silence to fell upon them. He kept quiet for minutes and minutes, and the other one didn't either have anything to say. He had shamed himself.

"...And those things you were saying, too... Do you remember? When I had already brought you to my apartment. You were acting so bizarre that I just had to bring you here. You were threat to everything and everyone when you were outside. You were looking at my date like you could kill her anytime. And that is something that I don't allow. I understood that you were jealous, but I don't accept behavior like that, not from anyone, not towards women" he kept his face straight as he stared the smaller one with blaming eyes. But Tetsuya kept his eyes on table, not wanting to meet his eyes.

"...Yeah... I remember..."

"...Did you really mean that?"

Well that question was a bit too straight. It came way too quickly, from behind of a corner. He didn't expect him to ask that.

Unfortunately he remembered. And he knew he couldn't just deny it. Remembering it all made his face turn a bit pinkish. He tried to hide the change of his skin's color under his front hair.

Coldness of his hair just highlighted that blush on his cheeks.

His heart beat like a maniac.

" ...Yes" he muttered silently between his lips, still keeping his gaze away from his face.

"So you would like to date me?"

"...Yes..."

"So you would like me to be only yours?"

Oh stop asking embarrassing questions like that! Even his earlobes felt hot. He was all red down to his neck.

" ..."

"Well?"

"...Yes..."

And once again it felt like the time had stopped around them. Everywhere was silent. Nothing moved. Everything had died around them. One eternity later Kagami finally smirked and let a silent laughter escape between his lips.

"Nobody had said that to me for years. I'm confused, Kuroko" he smiled. The smile reached his red eyes. Tetsuya finally raised his gaze from the table. The other looked amused.

"...I think I should just go" bluenette muttered, as he slowly stood up. His headache was gone. Aspirin had killed his pain. But it didn't make the shame even a bit smaller.

Young man started to walk slowly towards the door that leaded outside. He heard how Kagami also left the table and followed him without saying anything.

"Are you really going outside looking like that? Comb your hair!" he laughed as he pressed his other shoulder against the wall next to the door. He watched how Kuroko tired to put his shoes on and comb his messy hair with his slim fingers.

"Goodbye, Kagami-kun" he murmured silently, not looking at him even once as he opened the door quickly, ready to leave.

"Wait! You forgot something!" Taiga said suddenly, as he pulled away from the wall. His words made the smaller one confused. Forgot? What had he forgotten? Did he have some bag with him yesterday? He couldn't remember.

He slowly raised his head as Kagami walked to him. Without any warnings he pressed a quick kiss on Tetsuya's lips, a small grin on his own.

An unexpected kiss in the morning made his heart and legs melt.
