I'm sorry for long hiatus minna-san . There are so much to do here so I can't update for this long time. Here is a slightly long chapter for you, with a slight mature content this time (because I use Aomine's POV on this chapter, of course!). Thank you for never ending support from all of you that still patient enough to wait for this story. Enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroko no Basuke and all characters inside except for the OC characters. The plot belongs to me.
Pairing : Aomine x OC
Maybe OOC. Maybe AU.
Chapter 24 : Are you pretending to be a boy for this long time?
"I'm sorry, I was late!"
"What are you doing, Satsuki. You are the one who said that it is 9 o'clock," grumbled a certain tanned basketball player. He was leaning against the fence, looking to the pink haired girl that had just got out from her house with a box in her hand, "By the way what is that, Satsuki?"
"You mean this box?" the pink haired girl lifted up the teal-blue, sakura-patterned box in her hand, "this is some cookies that I bought yesterday. And if you did think about to steal some cookies from here, you will not get it for sure," she said it with straight eyes, index finger pointing to the box.
"Baka, who said that I want to steal it. By the way, you're not dumb enough to give Aoki your homemade cookies," said Aomine while walking. He led the way ahead of the teen girl that following behind with pouted lips.
"What did you just said, Dai-chan! What about you, you're the one who usually come up late, but if it's about Aoki you even came before me. Moshikashite, you have the feelings...," said Momoi, grinning with a suspicious glance towards her childhood friend.
"Satsuki! You…!" Aomine snapped, turned his body to the side and gritted his teeth.
"Did I hit the bullseye?" still mischievous Momoi teased the boy beside her. But somehow the boy manage to hold back whatever he about to do towards Momoi. Instead, he sighed and walked faster, "Come on Satsuki. She has waited for you."
Momoi smiled, seeing her childhood friend figure that slowly drifting away before she ran, "Matte, Dai-chan!"
-Aomine's POV-
It was not that far to reach the hospital where Aoki got the treatment from our house. It just about 15 minutes by bus, but it was pretty far if you choose to walk. Back to that night, it was quite crazy for me to ran all the way to this place though.
I chose to walk ahead, left Satsuki behind after she kept teased me. From our house till we got into the hospital, this girl kept bugging me about my feeling toward Aoki. Really, was it even matter to her?
"Stop bugging me and shut up Satsuki, you disturbed other patients here," I said while my left hand pushing the door that led us to Aoki's room. Satsuki pouted again. I was about to say hello to Aoki when suddenly I felt my face become extremely hot.
There Aoki was, sitting on her bed and trying to change her clothes. I could see her almost naked torso, fortunately she still wore the bra. She gasped, and in a second she put on her clothes again quickly. I was too shocked to move even for only a bit.
"Kyaaaaa! Dai-chan you pervert!" Satsuki's scream punched me back into reality, and I wasn't joking when I said that her scream punched me. She really punched me hard and then dragged me outside the room.
"You wait here Dai-chan!" she shouted once again before slammed the door right in front of my face. I really wanted to shout back at her, but I knew that I had no right to do that. After all, it was my mistake that I suddenly barged in without notice.
"Aomine-kun?" A voice behind my back made me a little surprised, and I found Aoki's mother smiled at me. I gasped, what do I do if she had came back earlier when I accidentally saw Aoki's almost naked body. I shrugged in fear, remembering that this woman actually could be more dangerous than Satsuki, if I recalled what happened that night when I brought Aoki here.
"G-good morning," I stuttered a little, still hadn't recovered fully from shock. All that I could remember was Aoki's torso. Hey, come to think of it, I saw… she was completely…flat. I didn't see a cleavage at all. Flat, as flat as board. Usually, I only grinned in pleasure when I saw big bouncy thing on my 'secret' magazines, but why I felt totally embarassed upon seeing those flat things?
"Do you want to go in or not, Aomine-kun? Well, it's not like usual that you come this early," said Aoki's mother.
"Well, that's…," I couldn't find the right word. Should I just tell the truth and prepared to be punched again by this woman?
A second later the door was opened by Satsuki. I sighed in relief, because I didn't have to answer that question earlier. Satsuki was surprised too when she saw Aoki's mother, "Ah, Nakamura-san, good morning." She bowed in a rush.
"Oh, Satsuki-chan? You sure was early! Did you come here with Aomine-kun?" asked the lady again.
"Well, that's…," I could see that Satsuki was confused as well.
"No," I interrupted, thought it as a redeem for Satsuki's sudden appearing before, "I just have arrived when you suddenly called my name," I said to Aoki's mother.
"Sou ka?" She just about to enter the room when suddenly her phone rang loudly. Aoki's mother then went out of the room again, left me along with Satsuki in front of Aoki's room.
"Guys, are you still there?" Aoki called up to us both. I took steps approaching her, with a hot sensation still lacing on my face. I could see a faint blush as well on her cheek, made my face even hotter in an instant.
"I..I'm sorry," was all that I managed to say. I couldn't stare directly at her eyes. Damn it, it's so unlike me!
"It's okay, Aomine-kun. After all, it was my fault not to lock up the door while my mother left me alone here," she replied. Didn't she angry?
"Well, it's my fault too, barged in without knocked the door first. By the way, Aoki…"
"Hm? What is it, Aomine-kun?"
"Are you, really a girl?"
The air was like froze for couple of seconds. Then I could see Aoki burst into laughter just before Satsuki punched me once again.
"Hahahaha! I knew you would ask me that question! Hahaha! Of course I'm a girl! Hahahaha!"
Haa? Why did she laugh that hard? Was it even funny?
"You aren't angry, Aoki-chan? You should just throw that bottle of mineral water towards him! Then I could finish him with my punch!" said Satsuki.
"Hahaha, don't angry, Satsuki-chan. I'm used to this kind of question already."
I just stared at her with a slight feeling of pity. Unconsciously, that question flew out from my lips, "Are you pretending to be a boy for this long time?"
Aoki suddenly kept silent after heard my words. For the moment that I felt so long then she opened her lips, "No, I never intended to pretend as a boy. It's just that every one who meet me for the first time always think of me as a boy. And I felt that it wasn't a bother for me at all, whether you consider me as a boy or as a girl." She said that with a faint smile in her lips.
I suddenly felt some strange feelings within my heart. Usually, a girl would be exploded in rage when she got this kind of question, but here she was, laughing like crazy. Deep inside I felt some strange feelings. I didn't want her to be like this. I didn't want she got the same question from any other people. I wanted her to be more conscious that she was a girl. Seeing her faint yet weak smile like that, I felt as if she would break into pieces, like a crystal glass.
Aoki still laughed when she said to me, "What's wrong with you Aomine-kun? Your face looked like as if you are about to cry."
How is it minna-san? Feel free to comment!
