Chapter three
"Taiga-kun! Taiga-kun!"
It was warm and the wind felt nice on his skin, from far away he could hear water running and gurgling when the voice again called out his name.
"Taiga-kun!"
"Father?"
"What are you doing?"
The boy blinked slowly and then smiled.
"I waited for you, of course!"
The man laughed lightly and reached out for the boy with strong arms.
"Come on, let´s go, Taiga-kun." He said gently and heaved the giggling boy up in the air, "Woah, I´m flying father, I´m flying!" he called out and stretched his arms out as if he was plane.
"Indeed, you´re flying Taiga-kun"
The man turned around, the boy still in his arms and suddenly everything was burning. Black and red tangled around his world as hot flames licked their way up into nothing, swallowing the small body. Hot, everything was burning hot, drowning in dancing fire as everything crumbled down and walls broke down with a loud clash as stones collided with the ground. The boy screamed.
With a gasp Kagami awoke, drenched in hot nasty sweat. His whole body burned and his lungs seemed to be on fire. Still panting he threw the sheets from his too hot body and sat up. A dream? He eyed his still trembling hands and ran his hand over his sweaty face. "Damn, that was realistic, "he murmured as he gazed around, finding himself in his safe bedroom with no fire and no collapsing buildings, just comfortable darkness and silence.
It all had felt so real, like he had been really standing near a burning building which was nearly crashing into the ground, all that heat around his body, licking flames and so much red… and that voice. Who was that? It made his stomach tighten and at the same time a warm felling swelled inside his chest-like he knew who that was, like it was more of a memory than a dream. Kagami shook his head.
"Well, it was a dream, so probably…" he sighed, "it has no meaning anyway,".
As his heart and pulse slowed down and his breathing slowly regulated itself he noticed in slight disgust how drenched his clothing were, clamming to his body like a slimy second skin. Red eyebrows knitted as thoughts began to work inside his head. Kagami blinked. "Oh… right, I was sick, but…" Crimson eyes widened in alarming. "Shit!", he cursed jumping out of the bed, ignoring the dizziness which immediately took hold of him and stumbled in front of his mirror after turning the light on with effective punch, that would have made Kuroko proud, against the light switch.
They were still there. Why were they still there?! They weren´t supposed to be there! "Shit!", he hotly repeated his statement from before, glaring at the ears and his tail, grabbing the former ones to give them a violent pull just to shout in pain as the sensation of thousand needles rushing through his body took hold of him.
"Fuck…" he panted; breathing hard to catch the air that has been pressed out of his lungs as he tried to stand straight after the pain had made him cringe. Well, there was no way they would get off. He sighed, of course they wouldn´t, didn´t he try yesterday to make sense of this and failed miserably? Why should it be better, if he repeated the same thing again?
Speaking of yesterday… right, Midorima was here. Kagami cringed at the memory. It still took a lot to feel comfortable around this guy and he wasn´t sure he would ever be able too. Sure, It wasn´t as bad as with Akashi, this small midget made him feel so uneasy it wasn´t funny anymore. He always felt like a prey in the eyes of his predator, although Akashi would probably advise him to address him as master or some shit like that; that guy was a sadist to the core. Whatever, after that Kuroko was there, strangely making the situation kind of worse, even though Kagami didn't really know why and then…
"Yo, what´s that ruckus about?!", a deep voice drawled and with wide eyes Kagami turned around just to be faced with Aomine fucking Daiki standing in his doorway, causally leaning against the door frame eying him with a mix of sleepy and annoyed look on his eyes and of course having the grace to yawn at his face. Kagami gaped at him with blinking eyes, obviously unable to comprehend the situation before deciding it was not worth comprehending and immediately changing in the mode that always seemed to click in when he was faced with Aomine-on or off the court, didn´t really matter.
"What the fuck do you think you´re doing here, asshole and who the hell let you in, bastard!", Kagami exploded, feeling his temperament running wild as he fully turned around, clenching his fist in anger and glaring at the other Ace who just eyed him up and Kagami could practically feel how those dark blue eyes wandered over his body making him so uneasy he momentarily forgot about his anger, using all his concentration to not squirm under that look and as that fucking annoying smirk appeared on the Aomines lips, Kagami could feel his heart sink. He was doomed. Well, shit.
"Don´t get your panties twist Bakagami, or in your case maybe your tail, huh? Honestly, you would make a good lightning rod like that, mind to stand on my roof?" Aomine sniggered, eyes dancing in mischievous amusement as he stuck his hands into his pockets grinning at the red head.
"What´s wrong, cat got your tongue?", Aomine grinning wide and dark with a clicking tongue,silently floating on the brilliance of his word-play-joke thing, an opinion Kagami found him unable to share as his body began to tremble under the pressure of the stocked up anger, finger nails pressing almost painful into the palms of his hands. . . . .him?!
Kagamis mind went white with rage as he lunged at Aomine, crushing both of them into the wall grabbing the others wrists, pinning them against the wall.
"Don´t you dare to make fun of me, bastard, I´ll crush you.", he growled, eyes tightening dangerous while red battled against blue, fighting for the upper hand just like they did when they were playing basketball, so absorbed into each other that they were complete unaware of their surroundings. "The tiger roared, huh?" Aomine drawled, smirking at Kagami before he managed to free himself out of Kagamis grip with one of those crazy gravity defeating movements and seconds later Kagami found the wall in his back.
"Let go, asshole!", he shouted, anger mixed with embarrassment for being defeated so easily made his face glow in aggressive red as he fought against Aomine´s iron grip but finding his attempts in vain-he managed to receive the opposite. Instead of loosening his grip Aomine just tighten his fist until the pressure became so painful that Kagami couldn´t supress a wince.
"Ahomine, you bastard, I said let go!" he growled again. Kagami tried to move his legs to at least kick that guy off him, but with Aomine using his full body to press him into the wall it was quite difficult to do so. And that position became more than uncomfortable. Before he just had to deal with his own body temperature, which was really enough since it has risen into higher rates that had got him drenched in sweat while sucking off his whole energy. Now he felt Aomines too and probably because he just stood up-at least if Kagami managed to interpret that right-he was freaking hot. His heat radiated directly into his body, wiggling around him, making his mind dizzy with all the heat. It felt like Aomine was setting his whole body on fire. "Let…go…" he murmured, because all of his energy was suddenly gone and he felt so very tired.
"No.", he heard and the seriousness in that voice that was so unusual that it made him look up just to meet blue eyes that suddenly seemed so cool and calm and so unlike his body state.
"Why not?", Kagami asked, feeling slightly delirious. He rested his head against the wall to make his vision more stable and gazed up at the other, the fever making his eyes unfocused and almost foggy. He could see Aomine swallowing before the other took a step back, releasing his wrist which was kind of a wrong move, at least without warning the red head, because as soon as he could feel the stable weight leaving him his legs seemed to decide it was time to go back to bed-or, like now-to the floor.
Strong hands caught him, before his ass could make any uncomfortable contact with the floor and a deep sigh fluttered against Kagamis right cat ear, which twitched in attention and slightly turned towards the soft breath. He could hear a chuckle although it seemed way too soft to come from Aomine so Kagami gladly decided to ignore it. An out of character Aomine wasn´t really something he could deal with right now.
"Oh man, you´re really something, huh?" the blue haired man grumbled as he threw Kagamis right arm around his neck and curled the other around his hips. "But anyway, let´s move to the couch so can tell me the whole story. After that I let you sleep."
"Don´t wanna!" Kagami whined into Aomines T-Shirt, "that´s my house! No way you decide what I do!"
The other Ace chuckled quietly, "as if you´re in any position to tell me what to do or decide for yourself what to do."
With a heavy thump Kagami fell on the sofa, resting his head against the pillows as he stared up against his white ceiling. "Dumbass ", Aomine snickered, "if you continue that you end up hurting yourself, idiot."
"Shut up," the red head more slurred than spoke as he raised his head to look at his rival, "what are you doing here anyway!" he asked while accusingly pointing at Aomines chest.
Touou´s ace chuckled, "Is that the way you should thank your saviour?" he smirked as he let his body fall next to Kagamis on the couch.
"Saviour? Don´t make me laugh Aho", Kagami mumbled sleepily-desperately trying to keep his eyes open. Before he would take his well-deserved sleep he would successfully throw Aomine out of his apartment. Who knew what that bastard would do if Kagami didn´t pay attention to it. Something stupid probably.
"Hey, you don´t remember yesterday?" Aomine asked slightly annoyed and Kagami frowned. Yesterday had been full of strange events, it wouldn´t be really surprising that Aomine was related to one of those but if his memory didn´t fail him there wasn´t… oh.
"Saviour, you say?!" he growled, "you ring me out of bed and you call yourself a saviour, asshole?!"
"Hey, come on! You were the one who didn´t show up on the court!" Aomine complained, "no one makes me wait asshole and even less without giving an explanation!"
Kagami blinked at him. Court… basketball… Aomine… oh! His eyes widened in realization. Monday! Of course, One-one-One with Aomine! How the hell could he forgot?!
"Not that that would have made any difference", Aomine mumbled, seemingly more interested in Kagamis black carpet than looking at his talk partner and was he blushing?!
Kagami grinned, "Ah don´t tell me, you waited all the time like a good dog". He laughed, an Aomine with fluffy ears and tail appearing in front of his eyes, strangely reverting their roles right now and sending another wave of warm laughter out of his body. That wouldn´t fit at all, the resemblance between Aomine and a dog was practically zero, but oh well, strange things happened all the time.
As Aomine didn't answer with one snarling and angry comment Kagami surely expected the red head irritated turned towards the other male and nearly choked on his own spit when he saw Aomine staring still staring at the carpet with even a light blush on his cheeks.
"What?!" Kagami gaped at the other in disbelief, "don´t tell me…"
"No, of course not!" Aomine shouted a little bit too loud before averting his eyes again in obvious embarrassment. "It was just really annoying! To come all the way and then the bakagami chose to not appear and the other players were kind of boring-all so fucking weak-so the way was for nothing-Annoying!"
Kagami sighed-he was far too tired for this shit, so it probably was the best to just get over with this.
"Well, I´m sorry. But I guess you can see why I couldn't show up, right?"
And there was the old Aomine again, the familiar smirk playing on his lips, the arrogant look in midnight blue eyes-not that Kagami was paying attention to that bastards eye colour-and the old deep voice drenched with a flavour Kagami couldn't really name.
"Exactly, I have to say it suits you surprisingly well Taiga," he drawled with amusement and sarcasm dripping from his voice, "care to explain?"
Kagami glared at him. That bastard had the boldness to grin at him, challenging and so annoying that Kagami really wanted to wipe it off that bastards face. But again he couldn't find the energy to come up with a proper comeback, a fact that left him even more annoyed than he already was.
He sighed and rubbed his temples, trying to at least chase away a little bit of the drowsiness and dizziness. God, his head felt so full as if it could explode at any time.
"Okay, you get the short one. At the weekend my head started to hurt like a bitch and yesterday morning I woke up with these things and obviously the didn´t go away over the night, because they´re still there."
With an unreadable expression Aomine stared at, something Kagami could mirror until the others eyes began to roam over his face to his ears travelling downwards to seemingly inspect his tail which began to twitch uncomfortable.
"You know… normally people don´t grow animal… things", Aomine said with a wondered expression on his face that left Kagami slightly worrying for his mental health, although that issue was probably a lost cause with the other Ace.
"No shit, Sherlock", he deadpanned with a blank expression that could rival Kurokos.
"So… why", Aomine blinked "do you have them… did your name wore off on you or what?"
Kagami could feel his skin itch in annoyance. "Shut up, I don´t wanna hear anything from someone like you. Now you know what´s going on, so you can leave and let me sleep, goddamn it!"
"You know Kagami, you should treat me with more kindness you know-who knows who I can tell about this and what would happen", he grinned and Kagami could feel his blood running cold, " it would probably be one hell of message if that would come to public, huh?"
With wide red eyes Kagami stared at the other. Aomine wouldn´t… he wouldn´t do such thing, right? Sure he was an asshole, but that would be too much, right?
Aomines grin widened. Kagami was far too easy to read and far too easy to tease. Of course he wouldn´t do such thing, but the look on the others face was priceless and after the teasing he himself received it was only fair that Kagami was now the one being cornered.
"You bastard…" Kagami spit out, jumping up from the couch, staggering a bit before towering dangerously low over Aomines body. "If you tell one thing I´m going to kill you"
The deep threating voice crawled up Aomines skin leaving a feeling behind that told him that Kagami would actually stand to his word if he ever needed to and in spite of himself Aomine found himself swallowing hard as he stared into blood red eyes that hold him caged with a threating and capturing glare, that was far too focused for someone suffering from a high fever.
"Calm down baka, of course I won´t tell," Aomine drawled. He was glad that his voice sounded so calm although he felt a little shaken from Kagamis announcement. There was no need for the other to know what kind of influence he right now had one the other.
Still with a sceptical look on his face the red head withdrew and Aomine breathed far too deeply, but with the strange atmosphere finally disappearing he noticed that he had hold his breath a little bit too long.
"Good."
That was the only thing Kagami said, leaving an awkward tension behind that only was disrupted with Kagamis stomach growling so loud that it made Aomine nearly jump out his skin. For a moment both of the them stared at each other before Kagamis face exploded in delicious red and Aomines face split into a teasing smirk that he welcomed like an old friend-being so unused to the feeling of physical being challenged without a basketball and hoop next to him and this dangerous glint in Kagamis eyes, which didn´t resemble the glint he got on the court at all.
"Seems like the cat needs its milk", he grinned and slightly laughed when the red head was shooting him one of his angry looks.
"Oh, shut up will you?" Kagami mumbled. Now it was his turn to stare at his own floor in great interest and Aomine nearly smiled at the sudden change of the other Ace. The sudden switch from angry and dangerous beast to blushing and embarrassed little kitten was… quite… endearing.
Blinking at the sudden thought he shook his head. What the hell was he thinking? Sure he liked to pick up on the other and a funny way to do so was to use slightly sexual lines against him that usually send Kagami into a fumbling red faced and angry muttering mess, which was funny for itself but even better when Aomine thought that Kagami was the half American guy, so he should be used to something like that. But apparently he was not and that left such a great space for Aomine not tease him.
But it never was serious, so… he again shook his head. It must be the lack of sleep which was messing with his brain. Yes, that was it, no way he found another guy-even worse, his rival-in any way attractive or even cute. No way.
"So… now you know everything, so you can go right?" Kagamis voice cut though Aomine rumbling thoughts and saved him from the need to draw a conclusion from them which surely wouldn´t be to his liking.
"No way in hell, this is far too good to miss and honestly you don´t think I´m going to let you go with that half ass explanation?" Aomine said before he even knew what he was saying, "just get some sleep and then we talk again". He yawned as he dropped on the couch-man, that thing was really comfortable.
"Fuck no, you´re not going to stay here! Who knows what you do when I´m sleeping!" Kagami complained and with his hands stemmed to his sides he looked like a scolding mother. Aomine grinned. "No, I´m staying here. I like your couch and your couch likes me, so it´s all good"
"Oh, you´re such a…" Throwing his hands in defeat Kagami stamped into the kitchen. "If you want more information call Midorima, I´m sick of explaining everything and it´s not like I know more than what I told you anyway!" he shouted while searching in his fridge for something eatable.
Aomine stopped with his search for the remote for Kagamis flat screen-honestly, is his family rich or what? Midorima? Why would that guy know something?
"Haah, I didn´t know you were all buddy-buddy with Midorima?" he shouted back, ignoring the sting that name suddenly send through his stomach.
"Of course I´m not but he was the only one I could think of who would be able to help me with this… ah… problem."
"Huh, not a bad thought for an idiot like you!"
"Who are you calling an idiot Ahomine?!"
And there they were in their old comfortable rhythm again. A state Aomine really preferred over that strange, uneasy and exhausting unsureness that they found themselves in before.
Midorima, huh?
Suddenly a loud noise came from the kitchen which sent Aomine falling over from the couch on the floor where his chin met the hard ground with a painful thud. He groaned lowly and raised himself from the floor. What the fuck was Kagami doing there causing a noise like that? It had sound like all of his pans and pots and whatever he had in his kitchen crashed to the ground and…
Aomine frowned. It was strangely silent. It was far too silent for an aggressive guy like Kagami who surely would have started screaming in rage after such accidence.
With long steps Aomine practically ran to the kitchen.
Well, fuck.
Of course it had been a bad idea, dragging someone who obviously suffered from a high fever and another disease, Aomine wasn´t sure if he could call it that, out of his bed but he didn´t really expect Kagami to collapse-Again.
"Oh man, not again…" he mumbled as he sat down and inspected if there were any obvious wounds on his head and face, but it looked like always. Well maybe not always. Being knocked unconscious made Kagami look much calmer and… he shook head, again chasing all the intruding thoughts away. For the sake of his own sanity. He couldn´t deal with more strange things right now.
"Why are you so heavy, Bakagami?" Aomine muttered as he threw both of Kagamis arms over his shoulder, grabbed the lifeless form of his rival and heaved him up so he could carry him like a sack potatoes, although that probably would have been lighter.
Luckily he reached Kagamis bedroom with a few strides and dropped the other-again-on the sheets. "Uhh, how much did you sweat you pig?" Aomine wrinkled his nose. He didn´t pay attention to it before, but now he could see how the T-shirt practically clung to Kagamis body like a second skin. He sighed and looked around. He couldn´t change the bed sheets but he could get the red head a new T-Shirt. He sure was nice today.
After pulling a black T-Shirt out of the cupboard which had looked like a wardrobe he moved behind the still knocked out red head and stemmed him into a sitting position so he could let him lean against Aomines chest. Using his weight to keep the other upwards he grabbed the two arms of the T-Shirt and pulled them up. With one hand Aomine moved the collar of the Shirt over Kagamis face and pulled the cloth off his body. He fought the blush that tried to crawl on his cheeks as he was met with the naked upper body of his rival who was now leaning against him, breathing deeply and wrinkling his nose in a way Aomine surely would not think of cute when the cloth of the new T-Shirt grazed against his face.
"Okay, you oaf" Aomine murmured to himself, just to keep his thoughts from wandering into a direction he really didn't want them to. "Would you mind raising your arms for me?"
He sighed as he forced Kagamis head through the collar of the new Shirt, pulled it over his arms and moved the sleeping body into a laying position. After pulling the covers over Kagami he left the room with hurried long steps, eager to leave that room that suddenly seemed to bear a new interest Aomine didn´t want to explore. At least not now.
He ran his hand over his face. Well back to the start, huh?
He glanced at his phone, an idea popping in his mind. He grinned-wouldn´t Midorima be delighted to hear from him? Especially during school hours.
Oh, he would.
Soo, what do you think? How do you like my Aomine? I adore him :D I hope he´s not too OOC or something, but please tell me what you think!
