Daiki did not dare to approach the blond anymore and Kise found a strange sense of relief in it . it was better to keep their distance . They are from different worlds , after all , and Kise had made peace with the fact long ago .
"Ki Chan are you alright ?"
Momoi asked with genuine concern, She looked at Kise, searching his eyes for any hidden echoes of pain within.
Kise felt a shiver run down his spine as his childhood friend and the person he was envious of the most, bore her eyes into his
Kise forced a smile "What do you mean by that ?"
His question hung in the air, and Momoi's hesitation spoke volumes. It was clear that she wasn't entirely convinced by his cheerful facade. She had seen through his mask before, and it seemed she was doing so again.
Kise slowly closed the magazine, his fingers tracing the outline of his own face on the glossy page. The sight of his own image, frozen in a perfect pose, felt hollow and devoid of meaning.
"I should go ." Kise's heart was heavy as he tossed the magazine inside his bag. he couldn't bear the thought of anyone pitying him or telling him how to handle his own feelings . He already felt helpless enough .
But Telling her to brush it off and leave him alone may have been a little too harsh .
It wasn't Momoi's fault that he felt this way. She had always been kind and supportive. He knew that his jealousy was unfair , that she hated the agreement as much as he did .
Still , Kise couldn't help but wonder how things would be different if circumstances were kinder.
If the Aomine's and Kise's were just ordinary families in an ordinary neighborhood.

As the days passed, the situation at the Aomine household seemed to worsen.
Tensions were high between father and son , and the atmosphere was filled with a heavy sense of unease.
It all began when Aomine started dating random omegas here and there , seemingly without any regard for their feelings or the consequences of his actions whatsoever.his relationships never lasted more that a month though ..
His behavior didn't go unnoticed, and rumors started to spread among their circle of friends. People criticized him and questioned his quality as the sole hire of the Aomines.
Things became problematic for his reputation . But Aomine remained indifferent to the opinions and rumors, refusing to let them dictate his choices..
Momoi never bothered with her fiance too , Why would she anyway ? They don't like each other that way . And she didn't expect him to be loyal to her . What's more concerning for her was why he was doing this to himself , why Aomine was putting himself through this self-destructive behavior, and as his friend , it troubled her deeply.
As for Kise Ryouta...
had witnessed the cycle of fleeting relationships, where one omega was swiftly replaced by another. Like it was nothing for the young Alpha
But Kise never batted an eye.
"He moved on, found someone else ." The blond says to himself .
The words hang heavy in the air...
it was a narrative Kise desperately wanted to believe...
Maybe that's the truth , maybe it's just a lie but that's what Kise wanted to believe anyway.
He convinced himself that it didn't matter anymore, that he could focus on other aspects of his life and find happiness elsewhere.
But no matter how hard he tried, he never truly succeeded, Despite his efforts to bury those emotions deep within his heart . Kise's heart couldn't fully let go, he still held onto a glimmer of hope, a tiny spark that was barely visible .
He had grown accustomed to putting on a cheerful and energetic demeanor, always wearing a smile , that he still smiles when he meets Aomine and each of his omega partners.

Made he should try acting after all
" It's Ki-chan's fault ."
"Dai-chan changed because of you.
Momoi's words echoed in the air,

Things remained that way until The arrival of a certain blue-haired omega in the first string team by Akashi's order.
Kuroko Tetsuya
left everyone around them astonished.
The contrast between his petite figure and the towering figures of the other players was striking.
It was hard to believe that such a small and seemingly delicate individual could hold his own among them.
How can such a small thing be with them ?
What Akashi was thinking ?
Aomine and Momoi, in particular, found themselves drawn to the new omega.
Then he proved them wrong ,the new blue-haired player possessed a certain straight ,He approached the game with
A skill unlike the others , his little presence in court and passes were nothing he saw before
He was strong .
Yet he was dependent of another .
Like a shadow.
An Omega so unlike the blond in every aspect.
His teammates began relying on him
Especially the ace Aomine , until they were called light and shadow duo .
The blond omega thought he was over all of this.He believed he had overcome the pain
Again he was proven wrong
It hurts , horribly so , like million knives piercing your heart.
For the first time in his life Kise Ryouta felt transparent .
Kise for the first time found himself on the replacement field ..
Far from Aomine's side since the phantom took over .
And then, almost imperceptibly, the boy began to replace Kise in Aomine's life as well .He seamlessly slid into the position once held by the blond omega, becoming the constant presence by alpha's side , he stood tall and unwavering, offering support and companionship in a way that Kise once did a long time ago.
Kise watched from the sidelines as the boy effortlessly filled the role he had once cherished .There were moments when Kise couldn't help but compare himself to the new boy.
he witnessed the unspoken truth , Each fleeting glance, each stolen moment shared between Aomine and Kuroko ,Their connection bloomed, while Kise remained unseen , pushed aside around the corner
Maybe it's the other way around.
Maybe it's Kise who he was a remplacement until Kuroko came to be .
no matter how much pain he felt inside. The blond couldn't bring himself to hate the smaller omega, no matter how much pain he felt inside.
He too , found himself mesmerized by his presence, captivated by his kindness and genuine nature. Kuroko had a way of making everyone around him feel special,
And that made Kise feel like a bad person , a hypocrite.
It's his first real omega friend.
Finally , the navy blue haired alpha broke up with his last omega toy and remained single for more that a week .It was an unusual situation for Aomine.
That's when Kise knew , there was no doubt , Aomine made his choice he is gonna ask Kuroko out .

One day , the blond omega sits by himself at the sideline of the court watching the basketball prodigy bumping his hand against the blue haired causing A vice grip around his heart that squeeze so hard it's painful... but his firsts doesn't tighten nor he blinks .
but then again, Kise already used to that feeling by now. So it was nothing new .
And then it happened. In that fleeting moment, Kise caught a glimpse of Aomine and Kuroko locking eyes with each other , The blush that adorned Kuroko's cheeks intensities which made Aomine's cooky smile winden
The mingling scents of their alpha and omega pheromones filling the air, a bittersweet fragrance that made the blond 's stomach churn.
And Aomine pulled Kuroko into a soft kiss which the smaller guy reciprocated.
...So they are a thing now...
it was not unnoticed by the blonde nor the pink hair.
They both knew that's gonna happen eventually , but they couldn't help but be hurt by it .
For Momoi, who had always held deep affection for Kuroko since the first time she laid her eyes on him , her heart shattered , It was the first time she truly experienced heartbreak, watching as the person she cared for so deeply gravitated towards her childhood friend.The pain she felt was profound, as she had hoped that her love for Kuroko would be reciprocated someday .
Yet, in that moment, it became painfully clear that her feelings were unrequited.
The pink haired girl heart broke for the first time that day
For Kise it was the millionth

reality often has it's own a way of shattering your illusions .
there was also a part of him that selfishly wished for Aomine to be miserable without him, just as Kise felt miserable without Aomine.
Deep down, Kise wanted to believe that he was the one who could bring genuine happiness to Aomine's life.
He doesn't want Aomine to be unhappy. yet He wants him to be happy just with him and none else .
...it wouldn't be fair...
But again love makes you a bad person.
He couldn't understand how Aomine could so easily move on and find happiness with someone .while Kise found himself unable to move forward.
If he can't let go why blaming Aomine for his own choice. He was the coward here, It's Kise himself who wanted distance in the first place.
He couldn't fault the Alpha
Yet he didn't want to blame himself either.
It wouldn't heal his wounds or bring him the closure he desperately sought .
Even without Kuroko it's not like things were great before .
Kise didn't feel that regret until Momoi came to talk to him , Momoi took a deep breath, trying to steady her trembling voice. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she struggled to find her words .
" Everything is Ki-chan's fault ."
