The next morning, Midorima woke up earlier than he intended to. He quickly read through his horoscope and grabbed his lucky item for the day; a rather large action figure of betty boop. After re-taping his fingers, he hurried down stairs, expecting to find Kuroko Tetsuya, but instead found food prepared on the dining table with a small post it note attached to it.
"Dear Miragen,
I had to go somewhere after making breakfast. I also prepared your lunches, they are in the fridge (color coded). Please warm them up before eating. I will see you tonight
-Kuroko"
Midorima read the note aloud. 'Eh...why do I feel so down...it's not like I care if he's not here...I wonder where he went...I-its not like I care about that idiot!' Midorima thought, taking a seat.
"Tetsuya isn't here this morning? It's no good to neglect his duties" Akashi sighed.
"ah, good morning Akashi" Midorima nodded to his captain. Akashi merely plucked the note from in front of Midorima.
"Maybe we should talk to the school about having the man fired..."
"We can't do that!"
"Hehhh, are we developing feelings for the little chibi, Shintaro?"
"I-I-I never said that! Do what you want!"
Akashi smirked at his tsundere friend, "I always do, Shintaro"
"Eh, you're not planning on getting Tetsu fired are you?" Aomine yawned.
"You're up early, Daiki..."
"So are you..."
Akashi nodded, "To answer your question, no I don't have any intention...not now anyway"
"Ehh...everyone's up so early" Murasakibara yawned.
"All except that idiot copy cat"
"If he's late he'll have to run extra laps" Akashi shrugged, "Come, let's get our lunches and go" Akashi balled the note up in his hands and threw it into the trash can.
"Eh? This was the big emergency?" Kuroko deadpanned when he reached the daycare.
"We didn't mean to bother you at your other job, Kuroko-sensei..." One of the workers mumbled. "But the children wouldn't calm down! They really, really miss you!" Another chimed.
Kuroko nodded, "I guess it couldn't be helped" He walked over to a classroom to find it in complete chaos. Children were throwing things, running around, and screaming all at once. Kuroko swiftly plucked a pair of scissors from a running child, "That's very dangerous, Tamaki-kun". The second the children looked over and saw their beloved Kuroko-sensei, the classroom erupted in cheers.
"We missed you, Kuroko-sensei!"
"When are you coming back, sensei?"
"That old hag-sensei is no good, Kuroko-sensei!"
Kuroko couldn't help but smile as the children tackled him. It was sweet. This is how children should be. He chuckled and tousled their hair. "I missed you too, very much. I'm afraid I can only come back on weekends. And please do not call Hina-sensei an old hag" Kuroko carefully answered their questions.
"Ne, ne...Mafuyu-chan wants to know why Kuroko-sensei left in the first place" A little girl with long pink hair asked softly.
"A friend needed my help, so I went to help her. You can understand that, can't you, Mafuyu-chan?"
The girl looked up at him with her soft pink eyes, "Un..."
"Don't look so downcast, Mafuyu-chan's smile is very cute" The girl blushed and hugged Kuroko tightly.
"But Kuroko-sensei, are you here to play with us?" A boy with jet black hair asked lifting up his Gundam action figure.
"Ara, actually I heard there were some children misbehaving rather badly..."
The kids gulped, "We were just acting out!"
"Just playing!"
"We just wanted to see you, Kuroko-sensei!"
"That is very sweet of you, everyone. But causing the other teachers so much trouble doesn't make me happy, you know? Besides, I was called away from my other job" "Are...you mad at us, sensei?" A child teared up. Kuroko smiled, "No, of course not. But please be kind to the other teachers, O.K? I'll come back and visit as much as possible."
"But we can play now right?"
Kuroko thought for a moment and looked at his watch. "I suppose I can spare an hour or so" The children cheered, happily tackling their sensei to the ground.
Kuroko sighed returning to the GOM house, his body ached from launching the children into the air and getting tackled. He went into the kitchen and smiled when he found that the food he had left out had all been eaten. He began clearing the table and washing the dishes. He went to throw away some trash when he noticed the post-it he had left lying on top of the garbage. 'I wonder if everyone got to see this before they threw it away'. He then wondered if all the GOM had taken their lunches to school. He opened the fridge and sighed, pulling out a bright yellow lunchbox. 'They really could be kinder to Kise-kun...'
At morning practice, Kise took a seat of the benches next to Riko. "Ne, Rikochi, how did you find our new housekeeper?"
"Hahh...are you going to complain about him, Kise-kun?"
"N-no...I was just wondering how you know him..."
Riko looked up from her clipboard. "Why are you so curious?"
"I just want to know! Please tell me Rikochi!" Kise clung to her arm.
Riko sighed and smacked him in the head with her clipboard. "Kuroko-kun and I went to highschool together"
"Eh, you did...so he is pretty old, huh?"
Riko snapped the clipboard on her knee, "What do you mean...old? We're the same age you know...Kuroko-kun and I..." Riko glared at the copy cat, a dark cloud erupting behind her.
"I-I didn't mean anything by it!" Kise quivered.
"Ara, you broke your clipboard, Riko-kun? It must be hard having such manish strength" Momoi chuckled, walking up to the pair.
"Want to go? I'll fight you" Riko smirked.
"Unfortunately, I think you lost too much in...other respects, ne?" Momoi smiled. Kise jumped to hold Riko back before she could charge at the pinkette. Momoi smiled and began to walk around, documenting each player. Riko growled and opted to simply raise her middle finger at the other girl.
"That cheeky little brat" Riko mumbled shaking Kise off of her.
"You shouldn't use that kind of sign against your student, Riko-san" Riko and Kise jumped and yelled, surprised to see the short, blue haired man beside them.
"Since when...?!"
"Since you called me old, Kise-kun. That was rude. The fact that I am older doesn't make me old" Kuroko eyed the gold haired beauty.
"I-I didnt mean it like that Kurokochi!" Kise whinned.
"Hahh...and after I came all this way to bring you this..."
"What is that...a lunchbox?"
"Un, don't look at me like that, I made one for everyone. You were the only one that didn't bring it"
"Eh! Why didn't anyone tell me?" Kise whinned, "ah...but I'm O.K with it...I got to see Kurokochi at school!" Kise smiled.
"I can't keep up with your mood swings" Kuroko sighed.
"Oi, if you have energy to cry, you have energy to run! Give me 30 laps, Kise-kun!" Riko yelled.
"How are you doing, Riko-san?" Kuroko asked turning to his old coach.
"Ah, fine fine. Good actually, it seems Aomine Daiki is coming to practice more consistently. I hope he keeps up with it..." She sighed.
"Riko-kun, are you planning on starting practice soon? Instead of talking to yourself?" Momoi asked approaching the coach once more.
"I'll start practice when I please, Momoi-chan. And I'm not alone" Riko motioned to Kuroko, "This is Kuroko Tetsuya, a friend of mine. And this...is Momoi Satsuki, unfortunately she's our strategist and manager" Momoi was stunned when pink eyes met those amazing sky blue ones. She eyed the man carefully. The way his sky blue hair matched his milky white skin...the blank expression on his face...the beautiful blue of his eyes...she swore she could have just melted right there.
"Nice to meet you, Momoi-san" Kuroko bowed politely.
"That...I...Yes, its nice to meet you as well, K-k-k-k-kuroko-san..." She bowed her head, her face turning a bright red. Riko noticed this and smirked.
'Revenge' "Ah, Kuroko-kun, it was so nice of you visit me at work" She hugged his arm and gently kissed his cheek.
"Ah...sure...Riko-chan...?" Kuroko said, completely understanding what Riko was trying to do but unsure of how to react. After a moment, Kuroko decided he could help Riko out. "Try not to keep me up so late next time" Kuroko smiled.
Momoi's face burst into smoke. "Are...you...it can't...are you two dating?!"
Kuroko and Riko looked at each other. "If I was Riko-chan's one and only, we'd still be at my place, wouldn't we...Riko-chan"
Riko held in her laughter as best she could, "Ah..ha...right...Kuroko-kun..."
"Will I see you this weekend? Or are you still seeing that rich guy...what was him name...Hyuuga?"
Riko tried, she really tried to keep her laughter down, "Its...its...gonna be Kagami-kun, this weekend actually"
"Oh is that so? If he wasn't so handsome, I'd wholeheartedly object" Kuroko tried his best to put on a smirk - the feeling was unnatural. "I will see you later then, Riko-chan. Will you call me?"
"Hahaha...we...haha shall see, Kuroko-kun"
"Ara, break a guy's heart why don't you" Kuroko lifted Riko's chin and gently kissed her forehead. "I hope you will choose me in the end, Riko-chan" Kuroko said as he walked away. Leaving a laughing Riko and a fainted Momoi.
From the other side of the gym, a certain group of athletes watched whole exchange with a critical eye. 'What...the hell?!'
The GOM were in a terrible mood the rest of the day. They didn't exactly know why...they just knew they didn't like how close Kuroko and Riko were. "Ne, do you think they're actually dating?" Kise asked poking at his lunch.
"It was obviously a ploy" Akashi shrugged as he ate.
"But it was really convincing..." Midorima mumbled adjusting his glasses.
"I wonder if Kurochin's kisses taste good..." Murasakibara wondered out loud.
"W-what kind of thoughts are you having, pervert?!" Aomine barked, his face turning red.
"Ehhhhh...I'm not a pervert. What kind's of thoughts are you having? I'm just saying...when Kurochin kissed Rikochin, I thought his lips looked yummy"
"That's a perverted thing to think, baka!" Aomine retorted.
"But it would kind of make sense if they were dating, right? After all, they were friends from high school...Kurokochi and Rikochi..." Kise mumbled.
"How do you even know what?" Aomine raised an eyebrow.
"Because I asked." Kise defended. Akashi looked down at his lunch. 'No, it was obviously a ploy to get back at Momoi...there's no reason to believe...but if they've been friends for that long...maybe something happened between the two of them?' Akashi wondered, 'I guess I'll have to do some research later'.
When they came home that night, the GOM were still in bad moods. "Welcome back" Kuroko nodded to the group of high schoolers. They barely acknowledged him. "Ah...then...I have dinner prepared for you its-" The GOM merely shoved passed him. 'Huh? I wonder if they had a bad day today?' Kuroko thought picking up the jackets and bags they had thrown on the grown and hung them up by the door. Kuroko walked into the kitchen to find the GOM had already started eating, silently. Kuroko raised an eyebrow before taking a seat. "If you eat too quickly, you will get a stomach ache" Kuroko looked up from his food at the teens.
"It's fine" Aomine mumbled from his dish.
"This is over cooked, Tetsuya" Akashi pointed to the dish of fish he had made.
"Is that so?" Kuroko stared blankly into hetero chromatic eyes.
"This tastes weird, Kurochin" Mursakibara chimed in, pointing to his food.
"Then don't eat it, Murasakibara-kun"
"Ne, Kurokochi, where were you early this morning?" Kise asked, wanting to see if Kuroko and Riko had actually spent the night together.
"Ah, the day care center needed me, so I went to go help out"
"Hmph...likely story" Kise muttered into his food.
A couple minutes later the GOM had finished and began to leave the table. Before they could, Kuroko slammed a fist into the table, to the surprise of the GOM, Kuroko's punch had effectively cracked the table in half. "I am not a fan of passive aggressive behavior." Kuroko started, eyeing the GOM carefully. "I find such behavior to be absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. It is one of my pet peeves, if I am being honest. So, if you have a problem with me, if you need to ask me something, if you want to know something, then man up and ask me straight. The fish was perfectly cooked, Akashi-kun, it's one of my best dishes and I wouldn't mess such a thing up. The food probably tasted weird because you were inhaling it, Murasakibara-kun. And I apologize for being away this morning, but the children needed me. I thought young adults like you would be fine without me for one morning, Kise-kun. In addition, it is only polite to thank someone after they've cooked you a meal - this is simple, common manners. Now, what is it exactly that has you acting like children?" Kuroko's face was impassive, completely blank, but beneath those sky blue eyes - there was the slightest hint of anger.
"Y-your relationship with Riko...what is it exactly..." Aomine mumbled, covering his mouth and looking away to hide his blushing face.
"Hah?"
"Your relationship with our coach, what is it?"
Kuroko's eyes widened. Could it be they had seen the scene and were..."Jealous?" Kuroko asked.
"Baka! Who would be jealous of such an undignified relationship!" Midorima yelled.
Kuroko couldn't help but smile, "Ah, yes, I apologize I see how it is. Riko-san and I have been good friends since high school - there is nothing romantic going on between us. That was simply for Momoi-san's benefit"
Akashi sighed, he hadn't realized how tense he was until he heard what Kuroko had said. "I told you" he said with a smirk.
"Ah...sorry for being rude, Tetsu...Thank you for the food..." Aomine said.
The others added their variations, making Kuroko smile.
"It is fine, but in the future, please don't hesitate to just talk to me. You can tell me anything. Ah, and I will go out and buy another table tomorrow"
"You're surprisingly strong, Kurokochi!" Kise smiled, bringing the housekeeper into his arms.
Kuroko jabbed Kise in the side, "What is so surprising about it, Kise-kun?"
"Nyaaa that hurt, Kurokochi!"
On his way home, Kuroko couldn't help but smile. 'That's why they've been acting out so much? They only wanted attention from Riko-san? But for all five friends to be in love with the same girl...their coach, no less...that might cause some hardships...but ah...it's nice to be young' Kuroko thought with a smile on his face.
Ehehe :)
