Day 2: Secret Rules—Do Not Disturb

Teikou's basketball club was widely known for being the strongest basketball club in the middle school division. The club was composed of more than a hundred members divided into three sections: the first, second and third string, with the first string being the strongest and where their regulars are from. Being the most famous and important club of the school, it is expected to have strict rules and regulations that each member must followed.

However, this changed when the strongest team was established in this club, the prodigies and genius basketball players from their generation: The Generation of Miracles. Some rules were broken, modified and improved and some regulations were reformed and amended just for their sake. Every member of the club knew of these deviations and accepted them.

In spite of this, there were still rules that were meant to be obeyed at all costs even though the teachers didn't enforce it. These rules were known to be passed by ear from senior members to their juniors and must never reach the ears of the Generation of Miracles. For in these unspoken rules, it concerns all the members of the Generation of Miracles. Failure to comply with these rules will result to some severe punishment, not by the members, but the Generation of Miracles themselves. Nevertheless, there were some members that will learn of these rules the hard way.

The members of the first string were having their break. Some were drinking their water, drying themselves with their towels and some were lying on the ground like the dead because of their intense training, except for one freshman member who were staring hard at the Generation of Miracles from the other side of the gym.

"Oi, what are you staring at?" another freshman asked, noticing his intent look.

"The regulars. Do you know what they're doing?"

The freshman looked at the other side of the room and found the regulars plus Momoi, the manager, huddling on a bench. "Aren't they planning and strategizing for the next game?"

"Then why is Kise-senpai and Momoi-senpai rapidly snapping pictures with their cellphones?"

"It's best if you didn't know," a senior member said from behind them, making the two freshmen jumped in surprise.

Both freshmen whirled to their senior. "Senpai, don't scare us like that!" they yelled in complaint. "And what do you mean by what you said senpai?" the first one asked.

"Many have tried and pursue for the truth and answers only to surrender to horrendous agonies."

The second freshman sweatdropped. "You're being cryptic again senpai."

The senior member crossed his arms and looked at the two freshmen seriously. "Look, our regular players are…special and unique so they have hobbies that are, well, not ordinary. It's for your own safety if you don't question it or try to find out what it is."

The second freshman nodded in understanding while the first one wasn't listening and was still staring at the Generation of Miracles. His eyes were squinting when he finally noticed something, or rather, someone. "Wait, is that Kuroko-senpai on the bench?" he incredulously asked. "Are they taking pictures of Kuroko-senpai sleeping?!"

He must have unknowingly shouted so loud that everyone heard what he said and turned to him disbelievingly. This, of course, includes the Generation of Miracles who was on the opposite side of the gym and turned towards the freshman who yelled.

"Is there something wrong?" Akashi inquired as he stared intently at the now paled freshman.

The freshman doesn't know where he found the courage (looking back, maybe it was stupidity) to ask again. "W-Why are you taking pictures of Kuroko-senpai while he's asleep?"

Aomine glared fiercely at the first string member as he crossed his arms. "Not that it's any of your business but what's it to you?"

The freshman gulped nervously, the regulars really are scary even off court. "…I…I…" he stuttered. "W-Won't Kuroko-senpai be angry if he finds out about this?"

"Kurokocchi won't be mad if he doesn't know about it," Kise interjected nonchalantly.

In short, don't tell Kuroko if you value your life, was the silent message the freshman got. He anxiously fidgeted. "W-Why are you taking p-pictures of Kuroko-senpai anyway?"

The rest of the first string members gawked at the freshman in wonder and awe. And maybe a little bit of pity since anyone who dares to question the Generation of Miracles won't be left unscathed.

Aomine loomed over the freshman. "Huh?" he intimidatingly said.

Yup, definitely pity, the first string agreed.

"Because Tetsu-kun's sleeping face is so cute!" Momoi gushed as she resumed snapping photos of the sleeping phantom player.

Murasakibara nodded in agreement as he ate his potato chips. "Kuro-chin does look tasty~" he said and moved closer to Kuroko.

"Kuroko is not a food Murasakibara," Midorima admonished the purple head. "Don't try to bite him!"

Kise crouched down as he entrancingly watched the teal head sleep. "Do you think Kurokocchi will wake up if he receives a kiss just like Sleeping Beauty or even Snow White?"

The rest of the Generation of Miracles and the first string members paused at the blond small forward's question.

Momoi was the first one to snap out of her trance. "I'll kiss Tetsu-kun!" she exclaimed as she raised her right hand determinedly.

"That's not fair Momocchi!" Kise objected and suddenly stood up. "It was my idea! I should kiss Kurokocchi first!"

Murasakibara contemplatively stared at the sleeping Kuroko. "Kuro-chin likes vanilla, right? Does that mean that Kuro-chin will taste like vanilla~?"

Aomine scowled at the three of them. "Tetsu is my shadow and I'm his light! I have the right to kiss him first!"

"Stop squabbling like children," Midorima reprimanded his teammates. It's not like he's jealous or anything. He doesn't want to kiss Kuroko. Definitely.

The first string members sweatdropped at the scene. The old members just sighed since this was already a normal occurrence and just left them alone while the new members were torn between amusement and confusion. Kuroko is a guy and a bit on the feminine side with his pale smooth skin, his small stature and adorable (they grudgingly admitted) face, not to mention, the most soft-spoken and mild-mannered person than any girl they knew but still a guy nonetheless. They understand Momoi since everyone knew she has a crush on the passing specialist (they were envious actually) but they were puzzled as to why the regulars are smitten with one Kuroko Tetsuya. They were sure that they were straight and not into guys.

Kise has a girlfriend (last time they checked) and a long list of ex-girlfriends and female admirers. Aomine is always seen reading gravure magazines (especially Horikita Mai's) and told everyone that he's only interested in women with big breasts. Murasakibara is only concerned about snacks. Midorima is obsessed with Oha-Asa. And Akashi is…well, never mind Akashi (they love their life very much). So why?

They stared at the sleeping phantom sixth man. The way his chest slowly rise and fall, his soft pink (and luscious?) lips as he unconsciously sighed, his soft teal bangs falling on his innocent face. Is it them or was their Kuroko-senpai this beautiful when he slept? They immediately blushed at the thought. At the very least, they now get why the Generation of Miracles are taking pictures of the sleeping teal head.

"Enough," Akashi's low but commanding voice resonated the whole gym, instantly silencing the bickering regulars and female manager and brooking no objections. He gave his teammates a hard stare. "You'll wake Kuroko up with your nonsense quarrel." He then turned to the rest of the first string and gave the new members, who were staring at Kuroko in a daze, his stop-staring-or-I'll-kill-you-where-you-stand glare.

The new members shivered in fear as they quickly averted their eyes from the phantom player.

While this was going on, Kuroko moaned as he slowly started to wake up and groggily opened his eyes, showing his cerulean orbs as he blinked away the sleepiness clouding his mind.

"Kuro-chin is awake~" Murasakibara announced when he saw the teal head opened his eyes.

Kuroko slowly sat up from the bench as he rubbed his eyes (adorably to the Generation of Miracles and the first string) with his right hand. "Did I fell asleep again?" he asked.

"It's okay Kurokocchi," Kise soothingly said. "You were exhausted."

Akashi walked closer to the passing specialist and knelt in front of him. "Do you feel better Kuroko?" he asked as he tenderly caressed Kuroko's cheek which the teal head doesn't seem to mind.

"Yes," Kuroko said, still feeling a bit sleepy. "I'm sorry for falling asleep Akashi-kun."

Akashi's ruby red eyes softened. "It's fine Kuroko. You're body needs it."

Aomine slung his arm over his shadow's shoulder. "Let's go changed Tetsu so we can eat some GoriGori-kun."

"I'm coming along!" Kise volunteered.

"Me, too!" Momoi added as she hugged the phantom player's left arm.

"Maiubo~" was the only thing Murasakibara said which also means he's going with them.

Midorima pushed his glasses on the top of his nose. "I do need to buy something from the convenience store," he said.

Kuroko turned to the red haired captain. "Are you coming with us Akashi-kun?" he asked since Akashi only goes with them every once in a while.

Akashi smiled. "Of course."

Kise grabbed the teal head by his hand and pulled him from the bench towards the locker room. "Let's go Kurokocchi!" he said. "I really want a shower."

One freshman blinked at the reminder and stood up. "I need a shower, too," he remembered and abruptly blanched when he saw the Generation of Miracles were all murderously glaring at him. "N-Never mind. I-I'll go practice more shooting."

The regulars continued their way to the locker room leaving the first string members (and Momoi, who was now sitting on the bench and going over the data she recently gathered) behind.

This, of course, leads to another unspoken rule of the Teikou basketball club—no members allowed in the locker room whenever Kuroko Tetsuya is in it aside from the Generation of Miracles. (Exception to this rule is: Nijimura Shuuzo and some of the third years.)

In any case, at least this time no one got hurt or severely punished by the Generation of Miracles. Lucky freshmen, the old members furiously thought since they got to learn those rules the hard way.

A/N: Nijimura-senpai wasn't at practice because he visited his father in the hospital.
