Author's Note: At first, I'm gonna answer your question, Loryko: Q.E.D. is an initialism of the Latin phrase "quod erat demonstrandum" which basically means "which had to be proven" and is used to be written at the end of a mathematical proof. It should be understandable now but if not, just google it and read about it some more ;) And no worries, I am not a native speaker of English either ;3 But when I first got to know what Q.E.D. means, I knew that one day I'll use it as a title to some story (the basic factor for that was the fact that there is a song I particularly like with such a title ;3).

Alright, time for the third one-shot. This time with some more characters involved and mentioning of another pairing I ship in KnB ;)


Title: Popsicles

Rating: T (only for Aomine's language)

Warnings: BL, fluff, Aomine being a shitty advisor...?

Summary to Ch3: Kise is about to have his first date with Kuroko ever but has no idea how to spend it so he asks Aomine for a little piece of advice... However, it appears that the Touou's ace is completely useless...


"A perfect date, you say?" Aomine quirks a brow, looking at the blonde model whose amber gold eyes are staring at him with hope drowned in them, "Why the hell you come with this to me…?"

"Oh, you know… since you've been dating Kagamicchi for longer than four months now…" Kise seems pretty much uneasy with a blush coloring his cheeks and sweat gathering on his forehead. "I want our first date to be absolutely special!" He exclaims with desperation in his voice.

Daiki takes a deep breath to calm down the irritation, "Me and Bakagami don't really go on dates, Kise. That idiot has no good manners and we always end up arguing about some shitty and unimportant things…" Aomine scratches the back of his head.

Kise's sure that Kagami isn't the only one at fault but decides not to comment on that. Instead, he whines, "I don't believe you! You must go out somewhere together! And by it I don't mean your infamous one-on-ones…" he doesn't want to give up until he learns something more from the tanned teen.

"Ah, you're right…" Daiki seems to let go, "Sometimes I come over to his place for playing together some NBA matches on his Play Station." He catches Ryouta on looking at him expectantly, "What?" He snorts.

"Is that all?" The blonde tilts his head to the side with confusion written all over his face.

"Of course not, you dumb…" Aomine rolls his eyes and smirks, "When we're done, Kagami cooks dinner and then we eat it together… — he doesn't mention the fact that he's always disturbing him as much as he can because seeing Taiga at rage is always so amusing — … and then we come back on the sofa and... you know…" he snickers meaningfully but Kise doesn't seem to catch up.

"And what?" He asks with excitement and impatience.

"Boo-hoo, we smooch and make out, end of story," the tanned teen finishes with a triumphant look in his navy blue eyes.

However, Kise doesn't seem to be as impressed as Aomine expects him to be. He's rather disappointed and somehow even embarrassed by Daiki's words. "But this is supposed to be my and Kurokocchi's first date ever!" He exclaims, "I am one hundred percent sure that it's not what Kurokocchi would like to do!" Now his face is burning red at just the thought of him and Kuroko making out.

Aomine narrows his eyes and crosses his arms on his chest, "Then why are you coming with this to me…!?" He shouts, "You asked and I gave you a response so stop complaining, you idiot!"

"But I still don't know what to do!" Kise is already on the verge of tears.

"Stop sniveling and figure something out instead! Maybe Satsuki could help you… ah, what a waste of time…" Aomine murmurs under his breath and turns his back to the blonde, "See you later, Kise," he throws in and heads back home.

Ryouta is left alone on the basketball street court with all his grumpy thoughts and total lack of ideas for the first evening he is to spend with Kurokocchi as the couple.

"I am the worst~…" he whines quietly. "Kurokocchi will never want to go out with me again…" he mumbles dejectedly.

"Kise-kun?" He suddenly hears behind his back the familiar voice and jumps up with a scream. After turning around his eyes meet the unreadable baby blue orbs of his date-to-be, Kuroko Tetsuya.

His heart sinks and the blush covers all his face as he stares at the smaller boy in shock and surprise. "K-Kurokocchi…?" He stammers out after a while, biting his bottom lip, "How long have you been here…?" He squeaks and shivers.

"Since I saw you talking with Aomine-kun," Kuroko answers calmly. "I wanted to come and say hello but you were two engrossed in your conversation and didn't notice me…," he adds, adjusting his bag on his shoulder.

"A-and how much have you heard…?" Kise gulps in nervousness.

"Pretty much everything," the blue-haired boy mutters, nailing the gaze of his unchangeable eyes to the blonde model in front of him.

Kise feels himself weakening with every word which rolls down Kuroko's tongue, not knowing what to do to save this hopeless situation. So he does exactly what he always does when everything seems lost — he starts his long and loud apologetic monologue, "I am so sorry, Kurokocchi!" He exclaims, "I don't know where I should take you for our first date, I am no good!" His voice is slowly breaking, eyelids are heavy with tears, tongue is tangling… he's about to cry his eyes out in any moment.

"Kise-kun…" Kuroko shakes his head lightly and slowly approaches the quivering blonde and takes his hand in a calming gesture. Ryouta looks down at their clasped fingers and forgets about the tears at once.

"Kurokocchi…" he whispers, slowly setting his eyes on Tetsuya's face again. He sees a small smile dancing on the other's lips which makes his heart flutter.

"How about going for popsicles, Kise-kun?" The blue-haired teen suggests, bringing back to life their middle school's habit.

Kise smiles and wipes off the tears from the corners of his eyes, nodding willingly.

Later on the two of them share their first kiss which tastes of strawberries and vanilla, just like the ice-creams they've just eaten.

And this is the best evening in Kise's entire life.


Second Note: He will never learn... I guess that the drama queen must do what drama queens do best so Kise can't help it, right? xD

How was that? Good? Bad? Let me know! :3 Reviews always welcome and appreciated!
