Author's Note: You know what? The last three months have passed by in a blink of an eye for me. I was so busy at the university that I had absolutely no time to create anything at all. Even though I always have so many ideas... ;~; Anyway, I've written this chapter quite a long time ago already but only now, when the Christmas break has started, I had a moment to post it. Sorry for the long wait! It's not Christmas-related unfortunately but I hope you'll like it anyway ;3
Chapter six: Sometimes It's Better When It Rains
Rating: K+/T (?)
Warnings: None other than before, I guess... It's just Kise and Kuroko being together, their feelings for one another are so pure in here *^*
Summary to Ch6: The foul weather has ruined Kise's idea for the newest date with his boyfriend... or has it?
"Oh no, why does it have to rain now…!?" Kise exclaims, placing both of his palms on the window's pane and gluing his nose to it. "This is the day me and Kurokocchi were supposed to go to the amusement park for the amazing date! I wanted to go on every rollercoaster with Kurokocchi…," his lips form into a shape of a horseshoe as he observes the next wet spots appearing on the window and deforming the sight.
"Aren't you afraid of rollercoasters, Kise-kun…?" Kuroko suddenly asks and the blonde jumps up because he hasn't noticed before that the blue-haired boy was present in the living room as well.
"I-it doesn't matter as long as you like them!" Kise says quickly with a blush creeping up on his face.
Kuroko wouldn't mind just staying at home and reading something but he knows Kise too well to realize that his idea of a perfect date includes leaving your date's house and going somewhere. This is why he suggests, "How about going to the cinema instead…?"
The blonde model shakes his head no heatedly, however. "We were at the cinema just a few days ago! What kind of boyfriend takes his date to the same place twice in a row…?"
Tetsuya can feel the irritation growing in his guts but tries to calm down his twitching eyelid. If he was talking with anyone else but Kise he would've already "disappeared".
"We might as well go for a walk together…," he says carefully. Ryouta's face immediately brightens up, if he had a puppy tail, it would be waving happily behind his back right now.
"Are you serious…?— when he gets a nod, he jumps quickly to the other boy and embraces him strongly — Ah, Kurokocchi really is the best~!"
"Not…so…strong…Kise-kun…," Kuroko chokes out, trying to push him away. As much as he likes Ryouta's scent, he still doesn't appreciate having his nose crushed against the blonde's front.
"I'm sorry, Kurokocchi!" Kise quickly lets him go, "Are you alright?" He asks with concern.
"I'm fine," the blue-haired teen confirms and rolls his eyes. "We should go now as long as it's still bright enough outside…," he backs to the hall because seeing Kise's teary eyes and touched look on his face he knows that the blonde is again only inches away from expressing his feelings for him in a typical for himself too excessive way.
Kuroko comes to the huge closet in the hall to take his jacket but when he opens its door, he gets almost knocked down by the tons of coats, jumpers and vests. Most of them are women's clothes but some carry the smell of Ryouta's cologne. In the moments like this one Kuroko curses himself in mind for falling in love with the famous teenage model with two female siblings.
At that time Kise enters the room and seeing Kuroko's situation, he runs to him at once. "What happened, Kurokocchi!?" He exclaims, quickly helping the other put everything inside the wardrobe again.
"You have too much clothes, Kise-kun," Kuroko murmurs, finally finding his own navy blue jacket.
"If you had two older sisters, you would know that there isn't such a thing as too much clothes, Kurokocchi," Kise chuckles and opens the drawer of the cupboard in the corner of the room. Before the blue-haired boy manages to react, Kise has already pulled something on his head. "Just to make sure you won't catch a cold!" The blonde adds cheerfully.
Kuroko looks at himself in the mirror and barely holds back the grimace trying to force on his mouth when he sees the woolen cap with cat-like ears on the top.
"I bought the matching one for myself too!" Kise exclaims happily and puts the identical cap on his head. Tetsuya would get angry if not the fact that his boyfriend is smiling so widely, obviously waiting for the praise. His heart melts in the face of Ryouta's joy, he just can't help that the blonde looks so adorable while grinning like that. He really reminds him of a cat right now.
"Don't forget about your umbrella, Kise-kun," Kuroko says only, buttoning up his jacket.
"I won't~!" The chanting reply comes along with the grasp of Kise's hand. Tetsuya looks down at their clasped fingers and then raises his eyes to peek at the blonde. "If it's not alright… then I'll…," Ryouta's palm slowly lets go, his voice gets quieter than a whisper.
Kuroko barely manages to hold back a sigh, "I suppose it's fine since we're having a date and such…—"
"…Kurokocchi~!"
Tetsuya ends up crushed in a bear hug again.
When they finally leave Kise's house, it's drizzling but apart from that the weather is quite good for a walk. No one seems to pay much attention to them and they are just fine with it.
The silence between them doesn't bother Kuroko but he can see that Kise is already on the edge of blurting something out. "What is it, Kise-kun?" He asks then, preventing the explosion of the ticking bomb the blonde is.
Ryouta blushes brightly and has some problems with voicing out what he wants to say, "Kurokocchi, you know… — the blue-haired teen waits for him patiently — I-I…"
But suddenly he screams loudly and jumps up and the unexpected gust of wind snatches the umbrella from his hand which ends up stuck in between the branches of the maple tree nearby. However, the blonde seems not to notice it at all, having a terrified expression on his face.
"Ryouta…?" Kuroko whispers, coming closer to the model and squeezing his hand.
"T-that thing…" Kise's eyes are wide open and look down at the pavement. Tetsuya follows his gaze and sees a small earthworm crawling across the sidewalk. "Take it away from here…!" The model chokes out, all trembling.
"Are you afraid of the earthworms, Kise-kun…?" Kuroko seems truly dumbfounded this time. The blonde turns his face away in embarrassment and nods lightly, feeling utterly stupid. After a few long seconds finally some emotions surface on Kuroko's face because, hell, Kise is such a cutie right now and he really needs to be cheered up.
"Kise-kun…," he whispers and pulls on the blonde's coat, forcing him to squat a little.
"You must be thinking what a lame guy I am, isn't it so, Kurokocchi…?" Ryouta seems completely dejected.
"Not at all."
These words surprise the blonde and he looks at the blue-haired boy at last and sees him smiling.
"Ryouta-kun…," Kuroko's hand slowly strokes Kise's burning cheek, "Don't cry on our date, please," the Seirin player leans a little closer and gives a small peck on the other's lips. Kise is surprised beyond measure but quickly pulls himself together and brings Kuroko closer to continue the sweet kiss. The sudden cold drops dripping on their faces make them stop, though and Kise realizes that his umbrella is no longer of any use.
"We have to share mine then," Tetsuya states and offers him some place under his own one as they head back to Kise's house, both happy but for slightly different reasons – Ryouta, because he got a kiss from Kurokocchi and is able to be so very close to him right now; Kuroko, because he got to spend yet another nice afternoon with someone very special to him.
"Kise-kun," he suddenly calls the other when they are already in front of the entrance door. The Kaijou's ace turns to him with question in the amber gold eyes. "I've had a good time today," he says in his usual emotionless tone but still it makes Ryouta's heart flutter and his lips widen in a tender smile.
"Me too," he whispers back and somehow he feels that their relationship has just grown even stronger.
There might be a lot more to say in this situation but none of them considers it necessary. After all, they already have read everything they need to know in one another's eyes.
Second Note: Kise's phobia of earthworms is just too hilarious, I had to use it somewhere on the way xD I may update next week if I find some time but can't really promise anything... For now that's all, see you next time! ;3
