Tears of Our Past

"Love is sweet when it's new but even sweeter when it's true..."

12th Quarter

"So that's what you've been up to.."

Kouki woke up his body feeling sluggish and heavy he sat up but automatically regretting doing it as pain shot through his whole body. Wiping the tears that escaped his eyes he look up to see that he's still in the cave. And his injured feet is prop up on top of a make shift stump and a small fire sitting not far away from him. Kagami must have gone out of his way again for his sake. He frowned not liking the feeling of helplessness but he can't do anything about it he is dependent to Kagami now that he's injured.

"Oh..." Kouki gasped as he realizes that the red head is nowhere in sight.

He shifted on his seat carefully not to put more strain on his ankle. As anxiety starts filling him to the brink. Where could Kagami possibly be? He turn to look around the unfamiliar damp cave "Did he leave me behind?" he asked himself, feeling more scared than ever.

His fears evaporated though when Kagami reentered the cave with more firewood on his arm.
"Oh you're awake."
Kouki gulped looking anywhere but the red head, "Uh...yeah."damn this is awkward he really would like to look up to the tiger he doesn't want to appear rude after all he had done for him but he's still not ready to face him just yet. Kouki cleared his throat before speaking again, "T-Thank you for everything Kagami-kun." he thanked Kagami as he watch him add more wood to the fire.

"No worries." Kouki looks up to Kagami discreetly red painting his cheeks as he remember the feeling of the red head's warm soft lips against his skin. God! What in the world possess Kagami-kun to do that?! That's so embarassing!
"How's your ankle? Still feeling the pain?" Kagami asked worriedly as he start inspecting on his ankle again.
"It doesn't hurt that much if I don't move it." he said quietly.
Kagami clicked his tongue,"It'll make me feel better if you don't feel any pain at all."
"But its a bit better now...thank you again for taking care of me."
"Why are you thanking me for? Baka, I told you I'm gonna take care of you so I did." he said poking the brunette on his forehead earning him a wince from the smaller male.

"That hurts!" Kouki pouted
"That's the main idea bakaa."
"You're unbelievable." he grumbled underneath his breath.
"Anywho once your ready we'll walk back up the hotel I found a trail leading to it." Kouki perk up from the new information he just heard. "So we're not stuck here anymore?!"

Kagami sigh, "That's what I said."
"Thank you really Kagami-kun I really don't know what to do if I got stuck here alone without you or anyone to help me." Kouki thanked the red head who scoffed in return as he run a finger on his locks.
"Don't thank me yet when we get back you owe me a date." Kagami smirked, Kouki's brown eyes widen, Date? Who is he kidding?!

"I'm gonna look forward to it, Kouki."
"W-What?! I-I didn't agree to it yet."
"You seem to think you have a choice..." Kagami said with a shrugged.
"B-But I." He couldn't finish what he was about to say when they saw flashes of lights and voices coming their way. Kouki squeaked on his place feeling scared he latch his free arm on Kagami's clinging on the taller male with his dear life. While Kagami remain calm but assumed a protective stance in front of him.
All the anxiety and fear melted away when Hyuga, Kuroko and their class adviser came to a view.
"Kagami-kun! Furihata-kun! Kuroko called out to the both of them. Kouki sigh in relief.
"Hey Kagami, Furihata you guys okay?"
"No Kouki's ankle is injured." Kagami informed the trio gravely.
"Then let's-..." their class adviser didn't have to tell Kagami twice what he needs to do when the red head carefully scoop the brunette off his feet in bridal style making Kouki squeak and blush at the same time. God! This is so embarassing!
"Lead the way." Kagami said to their sensei while he flawlessly carry the brunette like he weigh nothing.

"This is unbelievable." Riko sighed deeply.
"But its better now that they already gave first aid to Furihata." Hyuga said while leaning his back against the wall.
"So I can see some progress." Kuroko said quietly so that only Kagami

...

"So I can see some progress." Kuroko said quietly so that only Kagami can hear him as they stand at the foot of the bed where Kouki's resting while the doctor tend to him.

Kagami's brows meet in the middle. Progress? What the heck's he saying?
"Don't act clueless Kagami-kun you know what I mean."
"Hmm...maybe..." Kagami said with a glint on his eyes.
Kuroko chuckled, "I take it as a yes then."

The trip ended up uneventful for Kouki since he was not allowed to join the activities because of his ankle. Though at the last day of their trip he was able to join them for the basketball club quick practice. And then now they're about to leave Honshu Island they didn't even have the chance to sight see due to the limited time they had but all in all everyone had enjoyed the trip.

"So we're seatmate again..." Kagami smirked as he took a seat right next to the brunette.

"W-What are you...? Kuroko sits there you know." Kouki reminded the tiger timidly with crimson hue painting his cheek.

"Kuroko who?" Kagami acted as if he didn't know the certain bluenette.

"Kagami-kun." Kouki said with a frown.

Kagami sighs, "He said he needs to talk to the class president about something so he's sitting with him now."

"Oh..." Really? Of all times Kuroko wants to play cupid he chose this time?! He really didn't want to be alone with Kagami right now its not because he hates him or anything its just being around him makes him squirmish being close to the red head is also bad for his heart since it always beat so fast when he's around him like he's going to have a heart attack not that he knows the feeling of it anyway. Kami-sama it's not as if he's in love with him or anything he just prefer that he wouldn't have to be close to him all the time.

Its been a week since they've come back from the trip his ankle healed, exams results are doing him good and the inter high treating the team good Kouki couldn't ask for more but his well deserved rest is interrupted when the sound of the doorbell, the sound of the door being kick and the sound of his phone ringing all at once woke up the brunette's peaceful slumber early that Sunday morning. Fuming he stand up to face his annoying guest.

"ENOUGH!" Kouki said angrily as he opened the door only to see Kagami on the other side of it. "What's wrong with you! Do you want to wake up the entire neighborhood!?" he said glaring at the red head.

"No, of course not baka I'm just waking you up." Kagami shrug his shoulders

"So now I'm the baka?!" Kouki fumed.

"It's our date today." Kagami said reminding the brunette.

Kouki flushed, It's their date today?! But he didn't even say that he's okay with it! For god sakes Kagami-kun let me have some time to prepare myself! W-Wait! That's besides the point.

Kagami sighs

"I heard on the news that it's going to rain today so..." Kouki said while in the act of closing the door but Kagami push himself in between completely coming inside his apartment. Crap! I didn't mean to close it like that stupid Kouki what are you doing?!

"H-Hey what are you doing?." Kouki asked as he found himself pinned against the wall with Kagami so close to him.

"If you don't want to go on a date then let's have some fun here in the house." Kagami said grabbing his wrist pinning it against the wall while his face heat up on the taller male's insinuation.

"W-What?!" Kouki fumbled on his words.

"We can always have an indoor date as well if you want us to have more privacy or we can go out for an outdoor date all in all I don't mind Kouki." Kagami said huskily.

"W-Wait a minute" Kouki said as he tried to escape Kagami but he push him back on the wall again.

"I'm not waiting." Kagami said close to his ear. Damn it! He's not going to leave him alone until he says yes.

"OK FINE LET'S GO ON A DATE!" Kouki shouted nervously.

He gave up Kagami won.

"Hah- I knew you'd say yes."

Kouki wanted to back out is this some sort of a practical joke or what? He thought to himself as he stare at the sign in front of him. So it was Kagami's great idea to bring him on the same amusement park Akashi brought him for their first date back in the day. He couldn't say he don't want to come in though since Kagami already had bought tickets for the two of them.

"Let's go." Kouki blushed as Kagami intertwined their hands together.

"Waah..Kagami-kun people might see us-..." God what is he thinking holding his hand like this in public?! "Kagami-kun?!" he called out again to the taller male but it seems like he didn't hear him but he's also suspiciously red.

"I don't care let them see." Kagami said as he lead him inside the amusement park.

Kouki blushed.

Amusement park are crowded in weekends especially Sundays when it's family day and couples are out to have a date as well. Since they've entered the park Kagami hasn't let go of his hand and even though he tried to unattach his hand Kagami just tighten his hold on it making him blush.

"Kami-sama this is sooo embarassing!" Kouki thought to himself.

"Let's go ride that roller coaster."

"What?!" Kouki squeaked as Kagami start to drag him to the rollercoaster line.

"Is this some sort of deja vu?" Kouki asked himself as he found himself lining up on the same ride before the only difference is that he's with Kagami.

"You okay?" Kagami asked worriedly his hand caressing his cheek gently while his other free hand rearranging his brown locks behind his ear. The act itself making him blush probably redder than before his heart beating so fast it felt like he's going to have heart attack in any minute.

"I-I'm fine." Kouki said as he look away not trusting himself to look at the red head when he's so flustered like this.

"Kouki look at me." Kagami said sternly. "Let me see your face."

Kouki's heart skip a bit.

"W-What? I-I'm looking." Yes, I know I'm not! Don't make things harder for me than it already is please! Kouki thought to himself desperately. His work's cut out for him though when Kagami cup his chin making him look up to meet Kagami's dark red eyes.

"There much better." Kagami said with a thoughtful smile on his face while his free hand continue to carress his cheek.

"Uhm..K-Kagami-kun the people..." Why is he doing this? Doesn't he care that people might be already looking at them?!

"Let them look let them stare I don't care..." Kagami shrugged.

Kouki frowned at the red head's carefree attitude.

"Anyway I have a new game app that I uploaded last night wanna try it out while we wait for our turn?" Kagami asked but didn't wait for the brunette for answer when he fish his phone out of his pocket. "Okay here look its quiet the addicting game try it." He said showing the app to Kouki.

"A basketball game app?" Kouki said as Kagami let him borrow his phone.

"You'll enjoy it."

A few minutes later Kouki is hooked Kagami is right he enjoy playing the game.

Kouki's brown eyes flashes as he hit another high mark toppling the high score as he sets a new record. In his excitement he tugged on Kagami's coat repeatedly getting his attention.

"Kagami-kun look I've beaten your top score!" Kouki said in excitement while he shows Kagami his score for proof.

Kagami frown, "What? No way that's true."

"Hey! It's true dummy look!" Kouki said as he continue to wave the phone in front of the red head.

"Let me see..."

"Yeah here..." Kouki said phone held up high for Kagami to see but he ended up gasping when the red head pull him by his arm he didn't have a chance to react when warm moisture captured his lips. If he's red before he's much more redder now what in the world possess Kagami to kiss him in public he never know. After seems like eternity the red head broke their kiss while he just continue to stand on his spot as if his soul left his body.

"That's your reward." Kagami winked at him.

"R-Reward?!" Kouki stuttered his eyes wide in surprise his mouth wide open.

"You two it's your turn." The man said informing them for their turn.

"Let's go it's our turn." Kagami said pulling Kouki with him who's clearly still in daze.

"Well that was fun." Kagami commented after they rode the rollercoaster and now they're resting by the fountain area. Usually when he rode the thrilling ride he would be scared but the entire ride he didn't even scream like he used to or get scared like the others instead he felt numb as the kiss continue to flood his mind.

Kouki covered his face with his hand why in the world is he letting Kagami kiss him like that? He could have easily push him away but he didn't.

"What's wrong with me?!" Kouki thought to himself.

"Let's try another ride come on." Kagami said pulling Kouki on his feet.

"W-Wait!"

"I'm not wating." Kagami said playfully. "Which ride you wanna try?"

"Uhm...I..."

"Taigaaa!" Kagami squeaked as the blonde jump on his chest and gave him a bear hug.

"N-Nina? What are you doing here?!" Kagami said gruffly as he try to push his childhood friend away from him.

"Ain't it obvious? I'm here to join you when Kirishima-san said you got tickets here from him I got here as soon as I can." Nina explained while she clung on Kagami.

"How in the world did you find us?"

Nina rolled his eyes, "Duh, it's the perks of being the grand daughter's owner..." she shrugged like it's no big deal.

"Nina listen Kouki and I are kind of..."

"What?" Nina interrupted the red head.

"You see we're in a..." Is he actually going to tell Nina they're on a freaking date? !

"Uhm...Kagami-kun y-you should stay with Nina-san I-I'll just go home."

"What?!"

"You see? Furi-chan is giving way let's go on a date Taigaaa..." Nina said playfully nuzzling her cheek on Kagami's arm.

"I-I should go..." Kouki stammered.

"Yep, see ya Furi-chan!"

"You're not going anywhere." Kagami said as he finally freed himself from Nina his hand snatch Kouki's wrist stopping him from going anywhere.

"K-Kagami-kun.."

"Taiga?" Nina called out to the tiger.

"Sorry but I can't be with you today."

"B-But Taigaaa." Nina whined.

"Don't be stubborn." Kagami snapped. "I don't wanna see you right now so go home."

"K-Kagami-kun..." Kouki noted Kagam's short temper when it comes to Nina.

"Can't I just come with you guys? I mean come on it takes me a lot of effort to come here."

"It's not our fault you decided to just invite yourself to our outing..."

"Come on Taiga don't be cold hearted I am your Fiancée after all!"

Kagami sighed in irritation.

"Furi-chan please knock some sense to Taiga.." Nina plead pitifully.

"Nina I said..."

"Uh...I-I don't mind."

"Kouki..."

"Nina-san can join us."

"Yay! You see it's fine let's go Taigaaa!" Nina said latching at Kagami's arm once again.

"Nina let go." Kagami snapped as he remove Nina's arm around him roughly.

"Taiga's in the bad mood." Nina teased, "He has his monthly period now." she joked following the red head.

Kouki sighed watching Kagami and Nina's back suddenly feeling kind of disappointed but decided to push it aside though he flinches when Kagami turn to their eyes meeting in the middle.

"Don't get left behind baka." Kagami said stopping on his tracks to wait for him to catch up.

"Let's go Furi-chan let's grab some lunch!" Nina said urging him to move along.

"Y-Yes..."

Kouki couldn't sit still playing with his hand on his lap currently the three of them ended up in a chic private restaurant for VIP visitors of the park.

"Did you guys know that its hard even for frequent customers or celebrities to get a reservation for this restaurant?" Nina asked with a big smile on her face while she sits next to the red head, "It's hard but we got our table without waiting in line...perks of being the grand daughter's owner." Nina bragged cheekily.

Kagami sighed in boredom

"No one cares Nina."

Nina pouted.

"Oh shut it."

"These are your order." The waiter set their order on their table with finesse.

"Oh wow these looks good!" Nina commented as she inhaled the delicious aroma of the food set on their table. She then proceeded to cut her steak and give the slice to Kagami.

Kagami frowned.

"What?" He asked roughly.

"Say 'ah'.."

"I can cut my own steak." Kagami said ignoring Nina's attempt to flirt. "Kouki start eating before your food gets cold."

"Ah...y-yeah t-thank you for the meal." Kouki said as he eyed his share.

"So what are you guys doing here?" Nina asked.

"Uh well I..." Kouki fumbled for an excuse. Well he couldn't say they're in a date obviously!

"None of your business." Kagami said snappily.

"Boo Taiga why are you so in the bad mood."

"Well since you asked me I..."

"Kagami-kun d-don't be so rude to Nina-san..." Kouki called out Kagami's attitude to Nina.

"Whatever." Kagami shrugged his shoulder, "You have ketchup on your lip." he said to Kouki who wipe it with the back of his hand but instead he manage to just spread it. "You're hopeless." he said as he wipes the remaining sauce off Kouki's lip with his thumb his next move however made him blush when Kagami lick the ketchup off his thumb.

"Oh wow...I didn't know that you guys are that close." Nina commented after witnessing such daring act.

"Yeah so what."

"Nothing just saying."

After eating lunch Nina excused herself telling them that she has to stop by her uncle's office and that she will be back to rejoin them. Kouki sighs as he stare at the gloomy sky. It looks like it's going to pour. What happened earlier still bugged him like how can Kagami can do those stuff in front of Nina his Fiancé no less? Or kissing him in public like its normal? Doing embarrassing things casually like that drives him into overload. The more concerning is the fact that even though they're not in a relationship he didn't even stop Kagami's advances in fact he didn't mind his kissess.

"Let's go?" Kagami asked snapping the brunette back to reality.

"Uh...Nina-san said that we wait for her." Kouki reminded the tiger.

"Who cares? Let's go." Kagami said grabbing his wrist.

"W-Wait Kagami-kun." Kouki didn't have any choice though as the red head dragged him outside the restaurant.

"Okay let's continue our date." Kagami said pulling Kouki with him but the latter didn't budge.

"Nina-san said to wait."

"Kouki we're on a date." Kagami reminded the brunette. "Who cares what she said? She's the one who forcefully joined us."

"But she's a girl Kagami-kun."

"So what if she's a girl?"

"And she's your fiance..."

Kagami sighs, "She's not my fiance it was only decided by our parents but I only see her as a younger sister that's it.."

"But it doesn't look like she shares the same feeling as you..she likes you."

"That's her problem." Kagami shrugged. "Not mine..."

"Still.." Kouki couldn't continue what he was about to say when he felt droplets of water against his cheek. He looks up the sky to see the clouds became darker and rain started to pour heavily immediately soaking them wet.

"Kouki...can I kiss you?"

"Eh.." Kouki blinks and blush at the same time as the rain continue to make things hard for them to see each other.

Kagami smiled though he didn't wait for his ok. Kouki watch as the red head lean in slowly to his level their noses touching dramatically as their lips found each other Kagami bit his lower lip making him gasp his hand at the back of his neck deepening their kiss.

...

Kouki's so screwed literally.

The kiss feels like its melting him away.

A kiss in the rain really? How cliché is that?

"Here it is Nina-sama." The man said handling the blonde a picture.

"Good, thanks." Nina said as she stared at the CCTV captured picture on her hand.

Her gaze burning at the brunette's image as her Fiancée and him share a kiss.

"So this is what you've been up to..."
