A/N: Four... months... I know this is short, but writers block and life were kicking my ass hardcore. Instead of trying to write out everything, I'm going to try just posting what I have when I have it and see if that gets my creative juices flowing again... My sincerest apologies to making everyone wait this long, so let's hope that things go smoother from here!

Alex would not have questioned her ex-student's sanity if Tatsuya had called her to say that Taiga was an idiot. She knew this full well and made sure to tease the tiger about it every time he gave her reason to. What caught her off-guard was when Tatsuya said, "Taiga's in love." Having taught Taiga and gotten to know him personally as the hot-headed, if sometimes naïve, basketball idiot that he was, Alex's first thought was that Tatsuya had been referring to the game that tied them all together. However, she was sent reeling yet again when she heard, "He's in love with that blue-haired Miracle, Aomine Daiki."
For a while, Alex remained skeptical of the news, but after that spectacular finish to what seemed like some pretty intense sex, she had to admit the mirage shooter was right. She knew Taiga too well, and he would never be that intimate with anyone without caring for them on a relatively deep level. The fact that he had yet to realize this himself, according to his friends, was how yet another reason to tease Taiga about being an idiot was born.
"Well, this is certainly a scene to wake up to," she commented casually. Alex watched in amusement as Taiga almost head-butted the teen behind him when he straightened in panicked surprise.
"Alex!? What the hell are you doing here?!" he yelled in English, face flushing an interesting shade darker than the pleasure-induced blush already donning his cheeks. Aomine let out a pained grunt from behind him, but Kagami was more worried about his perverted teacher seeing something so incredibly embarrassing. Scrambling to pull his pants back up, double eyebrows made a rather painful, and comical, acquaintance with the back of the couch. After yowling in frustration, he finally straightened with his dignity covered, though he felt no less exposed. "I thought you went back to America!"
"Silly, Taiga," Alex admonished playfully. "You know I couldn't leave without visiting you and your brother, so I thought I'd stop by on my way to Tatsuya's and say goodbye," she explained in slow, careful Japanese. Green eyes flashed over his shoulder quick enough to make Kagami think it was his imagination. "But, since you weren't home yet, I decided to take a nap while I waited for you to get here."
Being the not-so-observant idiot that he was, Kagami could not figure out if she was intentionally ignoring the awkward situation or happily prolonging it, but Kagami just wanted to end it. A glance downwards sent his embarrassment skyrocketing. "How many times have I told you to put your pants on?!" he yelled, throwing her clothing at her from seemingly nowhere.
"And how many times have I told you not to throw things at me?!" she snapped back, clutching the offending piece of clothing at her side, completely counterproductive to her student's wishes. "Seriously, you'd think one would have more respect for their teachers."
"Teacher?" grumbled a deep voice that had been all but forgotten. "What the hell kind of teacher walks around a student's house in their panties?"
Both of the bickering forms turned to Aomine, who had already tucked himself back within his shorts and was standing arms crossed over his chest. He looked more pissed than he usually did.
Alex leisurely put her pants on, purposely postponing her answer. When she stood to her full height, she met that annoyed gaze directly and introduced herself. "My name is Alexandra Garcia, perhaps you've heard of me. I'm the one who taught Taiga how to play basketball in America."
Aomine's eyes widened only slightly as they looked over Kagami's teacher, stopping only briefly on her well-endowed chest in his assessment. "You look good enough, but that doesn't answer my other question," Aomine drawled, head tilting back with a scowl. "Why are you running around his apartment in your panties?"
"Because she's a closet nudist," Kagami grumbled under his breath.
Alex simply smiled good-naturedly and replied, "What's the point of modesty around family? Besides, it's not like we're each other's type anyway."
One of Aomine's eyebrows quirked upwards in disbelief. "Too young for an old hag like you, huh?" he retorted, using insults as an outlet for the confusing thoughts rolling around in his head.
"Watch your mouth, brat," the blonde growled menacingly. Though, there was nowhere near the usual heat behind her words as when others brought up her age. Someone this close to Taiga could be forgiven due to the current circumstance. That would not stop her from throwing him for a loop though. "For one, he's a son to me, and two, he's lacking in the breast department for my tastes."
Satisfied with the looks of shock on both of the boys' faces, she collected the rest of her things and made to leave. "I guess I'll let you enjoy the rest of the night with your boyfriend, then," Alex bid Kagami sweetly, adjusting her bag on her shoulder as she walked up to him. As per her ways, the blonde used her impeccable sense of timing to steal a kiss from the tiger before sauntering her way to the door. Stopping just as she opened it Alex looked back over her shoulder, making Kagami wish he had never met the she-devil when she said, in perfect English, "Don't forget to use protection next time." With one last look at the two of them, she was finally gone. The sound of the door clicking shut almost seemed to echo through the pregnant silence.
