Chapter 4: The Rehearsal and the Competition
One morning, three days before the big day of the Seirin Spring Fest…
A loud knock on Kasamatsu Yukio's apartment door woke the Tokyo University freshman in a start. "W-wha-?" he looked around, sight still unfocused and slightly disoriented because of having just woken up so abruptly.
"…-pai!"
Kasamatsu furrowed his eyebrows, shaking his head slightly to clear his cloudy mind and sharpen his vision when he thought that he had vaguely heard someone's voice.
"Senpai!"
There, again. Now Kasamatsu was sure that really heard it. Someone was indeed calling him.
"Kasamatsu-senpai! Please open the door!"
That high childish voice with whiny tone… Kasamatsu twitched slightly because he could recognize it anywhere. Heck, he couldn't start to forget even if he really wanted to. After all, that annoying crying voice belonged to the most infuriating kouhai he had ever had in history, Kise fucking Ryouta.
Kasamatsu couldn't help remembering how he had to deal with the blond model bawling in the night of his graduation party. Seriously, did Kise still want to bother him despite Kasamatsu no longer in Kaijou?
"Senpai! Please! This is an emergency!"
A vein of irritation popped on Kasamatsu's head at this point, despite trying to tune out Kise's shrill tone, but the repetitive knocking sound on his door was getting louder and insistent by the second and he was kind of worried that his neighbors would claim a complaint against him for disturbing their beauty sleep so early in the morning (it's 6 o'clock, for God's sake!) so he could only growl before starting to get up from his warm comfortable bed to step on the hard, cold morning floor.
Kasamatsu shuddered slightly at the freezing contact as he gingerly walked out of his bedroom to the front door while cursing obscenities to Kise, swearing he would kick his butt the moment he opened the door.
"Yukio-senpaaaai!"
Kasamatsu's last patience snapped when Kise used his first name. Damn him. "Cut it out, Kise!" he yelled loudly as he opened his door with bang, glaring daggers at the youngerboy who blinked once, looking surprised, in front of him. "The hell are you doing on my doorstep in a blind morning, you dumbass!? I'm not even in Kaijou anymore and you're still disturbing my peace!"
"Se-…senpaaaaai!" Kise immediately shouted dramatically, surging forward to the unsuspecting Kasamatsu who could only yelp in shock as he was suddenly knocked down, butt first connecting hard to the floor with Kise hugging his body tightly as if his life depended on it.
"Oof-! What the fu-Kise!?" Kasamatsu yelled in panic, hitting the blonds' head and kicking up to get the taller boy off of his body, seriously thinking that he had been attacked.
"Waaah! Senpaaai! Please, please, PLEASE accompany me to Kuroko-chi's school this Friday!" Kise cried, totally ignoring Kasamatsu's struggle, before starting to wail like five year old.
"What?!" Kasamatsu was very confused, indignant and appalled at the sudden ridiculous request. Well, at least he wasn't attacked….
"But senpai! Kagami-chi will violate Kuroko-chi if he's dressed like a girl in front of that beast! I have to stop the play!" Kise seemed to be very frantic and panicked and -uh-oh- people started to open their doors to see what the commotion was.
"Shit!" Kasamatsu of course noticed the odd look his neighbors gave them and hit Kise's stupid head once more for a good measure before shouting in undertone, "Moron! Stop being so loud, asshole! Come inside first!" then he forced Kise to stand up and kicked him into the apartment before Kasamatsu apologized for the disturbance to his neighbors quickly. He immediately closed his apartment door afterwards.
"S-senpai…" Kise sniffled and whimpered then while Kasamatsu turned to face him with a death glare, aggravated beyond belief.
"In seiza (1), now!" Oh, Kasamatsu would punish this idiotic guy, seriously. He really needed to teach an appropriate social conduct to his kouhai, so he could learn how to act like an adult for once.
"E-eh?" Kise visibly paled when Kasamatsu cracked his knuckles.
~Kagami x Kuroko~
"Ryou… you will escort me to Seirin at Friday," Aomine suddenly said, out of blue, to Sakurai who a moment ago had been enjoying his lunch.
"Eh?" Sakurai halted mid putting another tamagoyaki (2) in his mouth with his chopsticks and slowly peered upward at Aomine who looked very pissed off for some reasons since this morning. "Uh… I-I'm sorry, but why?" He asked, sweating slightly, feeling a bad omen.
"There's a red haired bastard I need to kill," Aomine growled, his mood visibly darkening.
"Hiii! I-I-I'm sorry! Please forgive me! B-but killing people is a crime!" Sakurai couldn't help crying, very scared and frightened that Aomine seemed very serious with his words.
"Dai-chan!" Momoi suddenly popped up and whacked Aomine on the head with her fist, making the tanned ace yelp in pain and surprise. "Stop scaring poor Sakurai-kun like that!" she scolded while huffing.
"But Satsuki! Tetsu will play a girl as that Bakagami's pair, you know! Your beloved Tetsu-kun! That red haired idiot will surely attack him! Do you even see how he looks at your crush most of the time?! Do you?!" Aomine protested after done nursing his abused head, sounding very wound up.
"It's a school play! You should be happy that Tetsu-kun is chosen for a leading role!" Momoi shouted, looking annoyed.
"No! You know how clueless Tetsu can be! Imagine what that pervert will do to him!" Aomine yelled, back, looking absolutely horrified and convinced that Kuroko's virtue was in danger.
Momoi just sighed deeply at that. "You're just jealous because Kagamin got to play as Tetsu-kun's pair," she accused, narrowing her gaze at the dark-blue haired teen who flinched slightly and turned rather red at that.
"No, I'm not!" Aomine denied hard while seething, obviously lying. "I'm just looking out for Tetsu!"
"Yes, you are! How many years have I known you, Dai-chan? Stop lying through your teeth!"
"Ugh… Shut up, Satsuki! You obviously don't care enough about your crush!"
"What did you say?!"
Sakurai could only look back and forth between the bickering boy and girl in panic, his eyes spinning in confusion, unable to voice his opinion, and he tried to apologize repeatedly for causing them to fight before realizing that he was pretty much ignored at that point. He thought that he should just leave them alone and was about to retreat when Aomine's strong hand caught his left shoulder suddenly, making him yelp in surprise.
"Don't run away," Aomine barked and Sakurai squeaked in fear.
"Hiiii! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorryyyy!"
"Dai-chan! I told you to stop scaring Sakurai-kun!" Momoi gave Aomine a magnificent chop on his dark-blue head, sending Aomine down to crouch on his desk, groaning in pain clutching his bumped top with one hand. "Besides, we have basketball practice at Friday! You can't skip it! And you can't force Sakurai-kun to skip as well!" Momoi was practically screaming in irritation now.
"Tch. Who cares!? The most important thing is that play can't happen at all cost!" Aomine shouted back, still not releasing Sakurai's shoulder and the poor smaller light-brown haired boy could only lament inwardly on his helpless situation.
Hiiiih! W-w-what's happening actually?!
~Kagami x Kuroko~
"… Shin-chan, what are those?" Takao couldn't help staring and sweating bullets seeing a bunch of straw dolls which suspiciously looked like a certain ace from Seirin, tumbling out of Midorima's locker. Yes, the dolls even had dual colored strands of wool perched on top of them like hair, in the same insignia as Kagami's.
"Hn, they are today's lucky item," Midorima said, giving a particularly hard squeeze on one of the dolls before glaring at it menacingly, and shoved those dolls back inside his locker one by one… none too gently.
"You liar. I heard Oha-Asa today. Your lucky item is a stuffed bear that you keep in your school bag," Takao scoffed and Midorima shifted his grouchy gaze at him. "Moreover, you don't need so many for lucky item, right? What are those for? Are you going to curse someone? Wait, those dolls look a lot like Kagami. Are you cursing him?" he just couldn't help his curiosity getting the better of him despite the warning glare Midorima sent him.
"Shut up, Takao," Midorima sounded almost hissing, his frown intensified.
"Jeez, why are you so grumpy?" Takao shook his head, looking rather concerned but also amused at Midorima's 'worse than usual' unsociability.
"It's not your business, and you will accompany me to his school this Friday." Midorima suddenly decided with a low grim tone.
"Haa? Why?" Takao blinked in confusion at that.
"I need his hair if I want this curse to work and I swear it will work so he won't be able to come out in that play… better, the play will be cancelled," Midorima narrowed his eyes at his still opened locker, already sounding like he was chanting at this point and Takao could only gape at the bespectacled green haired shooting guard.
"What about the basketball practice?" Takao asked, totally perplexed that Midorima actually wanted to skip. Because… seriously? The Shuutoku's ace was usually a slave-driver in practice, damn it! But, he wanted to skip?
"I'll double our menu the next day," Midorima grinded his teeth.
"What?! No way!" Takao protested indignantly. He didn't care if Midorima wanted to double his own practice regimen, but Takao would die if he had to tag along. "I'm NOT going!"
"You don't have a choice, Takao. It's a life and death matter," Midorima said gravely. "I have to sabotage that play before it's too late."
"Huh? What the hell are you saying, Shin-chan?" Takao widened his eyes at that. "What play?" Yes, he was still mighty mystified because Midorima didn't make any sense… at all.
"Seirin Spring Fest, Kuroko's class drama," Midorima slammed shut the door of his locker… hard.
"Huuuuh?" and Takao could only gawk at Midorima incredulously, totally baffled.
~Kagami x Kuroko~
Himuro was silently watching Murasakibara playing with his desert with slight interest and curiosity. Actually, the abnormally tall purple-haired teen was stabbing at his pie apple repeatedly with his fork, producing a slightly loud clinking sound when the sharp metal hit the hard glass surface. Himuro wondered when the plate would crack if that continued.
The repetitive noise was obviously disturbing the other students in the cafeteria because they all looked at their table oddly and warily. Himuro thought it was his cue to intervene before the cafeteria lady took notice and scolded them (Murasakibara particularly) for trying to break the cafeteria property.
"Atsushi," Himuro couldn't help sighing then. It was hard to watch over an oversized child.
"What is it, Muro-chin?" Murasakibara responded slowly, but didn't seem to care because he didn't even glance or raised his eyebrows at Himuro. His eyes focused on the pie he was maiming on the plate.
"What are you doing?" Himuro asked, a bead of sweat rolling down his cheek.
"I'm trying to crush Kaga-chin on my plate," Murasakibara stated, somehow his stabbing motion getting more severe.
"You do realize it's an apple pie, right?" Himuro thought Murasakibara had developed some respect for his ex-surrogate brother, but he might still hate the red haired Tiger very much over their loss in Winter Cup match.
Or maybe Murasakibara had lost his mind. Either one seemed possible.
"I'm imagining that it's him I'm crushing," Murasakibara stated, looking indifferent and bored, but Himuro was rather impressed at the focus he was showing in his mindless ministration.
"Right… I don't even want to know why, but you have to stop disfiguring the pie and the plate, or the cafeteria lady will be mad and ban you from eating desert in the cafeteria for the rest of your high school life," Himuro reprimanded calmly and Murasakibara's movement faltered slightly at the threat.
Well, at least Atsushi's still responding to snack related peril.
Murasakibara gradually stopped his activity and put down his fork beside the mutilated pie before looking upward slightly at Himuro. Himuro raised his eyebrows while drinking his cup of tea. "What?"
"Muro-chin…" Murasakibara paused, tilted his head aside for a moment, seeming to think about something, before he gazed back at Himuro. "Let's go to Tokyo this Friday," he said then.
"You know we can't. We have class and basketball practice," Himuro declined coolly, thinking that Murasakibara probably wanted to hunt some sweets in Tokyo.
Murasakibara frowned slightly before pouting. "But I need to go to Tokyo… to Seirin," he said petulantly and Himuro blinked at the last word.
"Seirin? Taiga's school Seirin? Why?" Himuro didn't think so far that Murasakibara might intend to crush Kagami literally, but why did he want to go there anyway? What was the occasion? He meant; Murasakibara was a lazy ass when it came to everything but sweet-related stuffs and basketball game when he was pissed, but this…?
"Well… I need to crush Kaga-chin before he can eat Kuro-chin when he's being so fluffy and delicious like cotton candy in that dress," Murasakibara tried to explain, but hell if Himuro could understand what he meant by eating and being delicious. It always meant literally if it was associated with Murasakibara, but…
"What, Taiga finally makes his move?" Himuro was amused, thinking that Kagami finally would claim his shadow as his boyfriend.
Murasakibara made a disgruntled noise. "Muro-chin, Kuro-chin is in danger of being eaten. I have to stop the play," he said, looking stubborn and almost sulking.
"What play?" Himuro blinked again as he heard that.
"The Spring Festival events in Seirin, Kuro-chin's class play… There will be a lot of snack-vendors as well in the event. We definitely have to go there," Murasakibara said with a glint of certainty and spirit in his amethyst eyes before he gazed back at his disfigured apple pie and ate it.
…
Which is your main motive, Atsushi?-Himuro finally thought absurdly after being silent for a minute, sighing in defeat.
~Kagami x Kuroko~
"Um… what is this, Sei-chan?" Mibuchi looked at the training schedule Akashi just handed him a moment ago.
"Can't you read? That's our training schedule for the next three days," the red haired captain said stoically.
"Uh, I know that, but… why is everyone's menu quadrupled?" Mibuchi asked in horror, sweating profoundly at what he saw and Hayama squeaked in shock behind him upon hearing that. Nebuya whipped his head to face them so fast the others thought he would break his own neck.
"Isn't that clear? I need a day off in Friday, so I crammed the Friday's menu in the next three days," Akashi said aloofly, narrowing his eyes. "Is there a problem?" he asked dangerously then and everyone paled at that, stepping back a few meters from him.
"B-but Sei-chan… quadrupled training menu for the next three days is too hard on our regulars… I meant... we have to guide the new members as well, right? At least if it's only doubled…" Mibuchi, despite his fear of getting stabbed by a pair of scissors by the younger smaller teen for talking back, had to speak up in his other teammates' behalf. After all, that training menu was impossible to undergo.
Akashi scrutinized the second in command with an evil glare and Mibuchi wished he didn't speak just now, but Akashi suddenly huffed and let out a long sigh. "You are right. I expect too much," he said, combing his hair back. "Alright, let's change it to double menu."
The others visibly sighed in relief at that.
"In return, Reo, you will accompany me to Tokyo this Friday," Akashi said again and it surprised the hell out of Mibuchi.
"Eh?" Mibuchi pointed at himself, rather bewildered.
"I need to go to Seirin and destroy a play after all. I can use some help," Akashi continued and Mibuchi could only widen his eyes in total shock at that.
Eeeeeeeeeh!?
~Kagami x Kuroko~
Kagami was in crisis.
Yes, he and Kuroko both. They had dressed once again in The Prince and Doll Princess outfits, and they were in the middle of rehearsal for the play in the Seirin High great hall. The activity was actually running rather smoothly because Kuroko helped Kagami with the lines he hadn't yet memorized, but overall, it was great. Kagami did okay.
That was… until this particular scene came up.
"D-do we really have to do this?!" Kagami was in the verge of freaking out, blushing furiously because…
"Of course! It's the climax of the play, you moron! The kiss scene between the Prince and the Doll Princess!" Sasaki huffed in annoyance then and the girls had been in total excitement waiting for this particular moment to come.
"Just do it and get it over with, Kagami!" all the male students seemed to try to support, but seriously, they weren't helping at all.
"I cannot help but think that our female classmates are all fujoshi (3)," Kuroko commented lowly in deadpanned look and tone from the chair he sat on. "Should we assume that the guys are fundanshi (4) too?"
"I don't even know what those words mean, but I hope they are the same as crazy… because they are totally INSANE!" Kagami exploded. "How the hell do you expect us to KISS in this ridiculous play?! There's just NO WAY!" he protested, his face as red and as hot as furnace at this point.
"Why the hell not?!" Ayasaki protested back, looking exasperated.
"We're both GUYS!" Kagami yelled.
"No you are NOT! In this play, you are a prince and Kuroko-kun is a princess! It's properly man and woman's roles!" Sasaki argued.
"(S)he's a freaking DOLL! Why must the Prince kiss a doll for god's sake!?" Kagami would not give up trying to pound senses into those girls' deteriorated minds.
"Haa? Is your head just a decoration? You've been memorizing the lines for almost a week, Bakagami-kun! How come you still don't understand the main plot of this play? Do you even understand at all the theme of the story?!" Ayasaki bombarded Kagami with patronizing questions, making Kagami twitch in irritation.
"Ugh… shut up! Of course I know that much! It's a romantic comedy between a doll and a human! What I don't get is... how come the human even falls for the doll? Is he abnormal? You want the prince to turn into a freak that falls in love with inanimate object?!" Kagami shouted again.
Kuroko just sighed deeply at this, seeming to feel the tell-tale of headache coming with the all the screaming and yelling between Kagami and the girls. At this point, the rest of the guys could only watch the cat-fight with much interest because there was just no way could they participate in it.
"Kagami-kun… shut up and do as the script says because it will be pointless to explain things as complicated as 'true love that transcends dimensions' to a brainless basketball idiot like you!" Sasaki finally snapped, her eyes glinting dangerously while the other girls also glared at Kagami with 'try to defy us and you'll be sorry' threat flaring inside their eyes.
Kagami squawked, his wild beast instinct feeling totally intimidated by the evil aura those evil witches emanated from their bodies, creating a sense of dread inside Kagami that there was no escape from this and that they really would maim him if didn't do as they said.
"K-Kuroko… say something to them, please! They're being totally unreasonable! You also don't want us to k-k-ki-," Kagami couldn't even say the word without flushing hotly.
"Kiss?" Kuroko supplied helpfully.
"YES!" Kagami clutched his head after that, totally mortified by the idea that he had to kiss a guy on stage, in front of hundreds of students.
Kuroko was silent for a few seconds before shrugging. "I do not really mind," he said and Kagami's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He couldn't help gaping speechlessly at Kuroko, shocked and bewildered beyond belief, while the girls screamed "Kyaaaaaa! Kuroko-kun, so cool!" enthusiastically while the guys looked awed by Kuroko's serenity dealing with such awkward and unbelievable situation.
"Y-you… have you gone mad as well in this pressure?" Kagami paled, strutting back several steps while looking at Kuroko in horror.
"It is just a kiss, Kagami-kun. It is not a big deal," Kuroko said, still with his dull eyes, expressionless face and even tone that irked Kagami very much.
"Not a big deal?! Of course it is! Something as precious as first kiss should be reserved for someone you love!" Kagami protested hard. The hall went dead silent instantly at that.
Kuroko was also quiet for ten seconds before "But doesn't Alex-san kiss you all the time?" he asked.
The silence stretched for a second before "WHAAAAAAAAT?!" the entire great hall exploded in total distress, even before Kagami could retort back to Kuroko, because Alex was a different case and Kagami actually spoke about Kuroko's experience, damn it!
However, Kagami could only cringe at the deafening scream from the girls before-
"Oh, oh, ooooh! Kagami-kuuuuun! How could you?!" Sasaki suddenly collapsed dramatically on the wooden floor while covering her face, looking as if she was facing a tragedy.
"Ha?" Kagami was baffled at the unexpected outburst.
"How could you cheat on Kuroko-kun, you depraved bastard!?" Ayasaki wailed angrily in the following second.
"WHAT?!" now, Kagami was officially shocked and affronted at the accusation.
"Cheater!"
"Pervert!"
"Degenerate!"
"Poor Kuroko-kun!"
"W-wha-?! Who is cheating on WHOM?!"Kagami cried back in panic, suddenly feeling that his dignity was at stake here. "And for God's sake, Kuroko and I aren't in that kind of relationship, damn it! How many times should I tell you that you'll understand?!"
"On top being unfaithful and idiotic, now he's trying to feign ignorance of his relationship?! He's the worst!" more girls screamed and the guys seemed to pity Kagami so very much at this point.
"Oi!" Kagami was getting increasingly irate at the absolutely bizarre allegation, and he was even more pissed off when he didn't see any sign that Kuroko would help him out of it. "Kuroko, damn you! Help me here!" he immediately hollered at his shadow now, and Kagami could almost see the way the blue haired cross-dressing boy twitch in response.
Oh?-Kagami immediately shut his mouth up as he notice the tell-tale of irritation growing in Kuroko from the way his eyes narrowed and from the dark aura that was floating around him. Kuroko seemed about to say something when the door of the hall was suddenly banged open and someone briskly stepped inside.
The commotion inside the hall was halted briefly as a loud laughing voice was suddenly heard. "Ohohohoho! What is this? A sudden dispute inside a team?" An arrogant shrill voice entered the premise forcing everyone inside the hall to face the door, and there was a tall pretty girl with blond hair and amber eyes smirking at the party. "How pathetic. If you can't even manage your players, your class drama must not be worth watching, Sasaki-san."
"Who?" Kagami blinked in confusion at the sudden interruption and Kuroko seemed to wonder as well despite his deadpan stare while Sasaki's expression grew annoyed.
"Ah, it's Kirihara Ayano from class 2-A. She's been Sasaki-chan's rival since they joined the drama club last year. Oh, and she hates Sasaki-chan because the previous drama club president picked Sasaki-chan as the new president this spring," Ayasaki explained dutifully to Kagami and Kuroko who nodded in understanding afterwards.
"Ara, Kirihara-san? What are you doing here? This place is reserved for our class for three hours this afternoon. Can you please LEAVE now? Or what, are you so worried that our class' play will defeat yours?" Sasaki slowly stood and smirked back at the blond girl while dusting her uniform regally.
"What did you say?!" Kirihara looked positively insulted at that, but she immediately changed her expression into a mocking glare. "Ha, as if you could bait me with such a cheap trick. Your class defeats mine? Take a look at a mirror, please. Your players are all amateurs. Don't forget that almost all the drama club members are in my class. Let me show you just how much we are superior to you!"
Kirihara clasped her hands twice and suddenly there were spot lights at the both side of the hall and another girl with long dark pigtail was standing at the right side while a boy was at the left side.
"Wait, our hall has such things installed?" Kagami was baffled seeing the spot lights.
And then, the girl started to speak, earning Kagami's attention back to the show.
"Oh, Romeo, why is it you, Romeo?" the girl put her joined hands in front of her chest and acted with such heart-breaking expression.
"Juliet, my darling," and the boy responded from the other spot light, with such longing look that could even melt little kitten's heart.
"What the hell are they doing?" Kagami's sweat dropped at the ridiculous sight in front of him.
"It is part of a scene in a Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet drama," Kuroko informed, but that wasn't what Kagami was asking about.
"No, I meant why they are doing such ridiculous thing here at this moment," Kagami deadpanned.
"They are probably trying to brag that we will get crushed by their play," Kuroko answered again.
"See? Our players are absolutely 100 times better than yours! You won't even have a chance to shine on the stage after our splendid performance!" Kirihara laughed like an evil queen, the same way as how Sasaki usually laughed.
"What the hell is that?" Now even Kagami grew annoyed at the way the Kirihara chick was underestimating his class effort.
"Indeed she is rather annoying," Kuroko seemed to agree and it was surprising he actually commented that way since he was usually very lenient to girls generally.
Well, Kuroko was probably already fed up with this situation. Kagami was too. That's why he understood what Kuroko felt.
Kagami blinked in confusion when he was suddenly pulled. "Huh?" He looked down and found that Kuroko was gripping his hand.
"Please follow me," Kuroko said quietly and Kagami could only blush at their joined hands as he trailed behind the cross-dressing boy.
"Say whatever you want, Kirihara-san. All I see is that you are so unoriginal with your choice of play," Sasaki chuckled, looking disinterested. "We do everything from scratch. We will get more points this way," she smirked as if she already won the argument.
Kirihara visibly snarled at that. "Ha! Amateur players play amateur's work! I see your point. You won't even get a chance to hold the spectators' attention span more than five seconds-"
"Please save your bragging until the actual show," Kuroko suddenly showed up beside the blond girl, cutting her words and making her scream in shock.
"W-w-what?! S-since when have you been there?!" Kirihara pointed at Kuroko in panic, looking visibly staggered.
"You will not know the result until the end of the match," Kuroko said, looking sure and confident despite his expressionless face.
"Oi Kuroko, it's not a basketball game, you know," Kagami scoffed slightly.
"But the competition is still the same," Kuroko said before he turned to face Kagami and looked upward at his crimson eyes deeply. "Please watch," he said.
"Huh?" Kagami was confused at the sudden change of attitude and suddenly, Kuroko's eyes turned sharper and Kagami's heart skip a beat at the way Kuroko look at him. There was something in his eyes… something that captivated him that he couldn't even react when Kuroko reached ouch the both of his hands and then placed his palms on Kagami's cheeks.
"W-what-?!" Kirihara looked even more affronted and the others gasped slightly at the change of air around the two guys.
Kagami widened his eyes at this, unable to release his gaze from Kuroko.
"My Prince… a doll's love lasts for eternity," Kuroko said, softening his expression before he pulled Kagami's face down while he stood on his toes, planting a soft feathery kiss on Kagami's lips.
Kagami was speechless at the feel of those pair of lips on his and he thought his heart really just stopped because… because it was the first time… the first time that he felt such spark from just a simple, caste gesture. It didn't even last more than two or three seconds, but it already incinerated something so deeply inside him that he knew was there, but he tried so desperately not to acknowledge.
Thus, as if it was on autopilot, Kagami knew what he had to…, wanted to say. "Your eternity… is the rest of my life." And he reached at the back of Kuroko's head, tangling his fingers on the fake long hair, and pulled Kuroko closer to him for another kiss.
Kagami could vaguely see the way Kuroko widen his sky-blue eyes for a moment before slowly closing then, like Kagami, and then kiss back.
It was…mind-blowing, despite being innocent enough. Kagami felt like he saw a firework exploding in night sky behind his eyelids and he could definitely go on if there was no a sudden clasp of the hands and a scream of "BRAVOOOOO!" from the very much moved Sasaki and the girls around them. He even heard the guys' squeaks of surprise at what just happened.
Kagami opened his eyes in a start. So did Kuroko and they immediately parted in shock as Kirihara squeaked in anger while leaving the place, lividly muttering curses that she wasn't going to lose no matter what.
"Kuroko-kun! You are so AWESOME! That's the BEST kiss scene I've ever seen!" Sasaki cried hysterically in tears of joy while the girls screamed "ENCORE!" repeatedly.
"Kagami-kun is wonderful as well! That second kiss was… aaaaah!" Ayasaki made a dramatic fainting gesture, looking totally in bliss. The other girls squealed amazement and dazed look in company.
Though, at that moment Kagami could care less of the uproar around him because he was still covering his mouth, feeling… heck, Kagami didn't even know what he felt! He meant, it was disturbing enough that he had to kiss a guy, a… a KUROKO, but what perturbing him even more was that…
Kagami was okay with the kiss.
Oh no. He had enjoyed the kiss.
Oh god…!-Kagami widened his eyes in alarm as he slowly looked upward to Kuroko who looked back at him with the same shock in his eyes. Oh my god…!
What the fuck's happening here?!
Oh yes, Kagami was officially freaking out.
End of Chapter 4
Tbc…
Additional Notes:
1)Seiza: the most formal sitting position in Japan. You sit on your both legs while straightening your back.
2)Tamagoyaki: fried egg/plain omelet. It usually tastes sweet in Japan, but occasionally it's made into salty as well.
3)Fujoshi: girls that likes yaoi (BL)
4)Fudanshi: is the male version of Fujoshi
A/N: Alright… I know I told you that I'd speed up the plot, but I didn't mean the 'play' here. I speeded up the 'KagaKuro' relationship *lol* Even though it's still in the stage of Kagami freaking out upon realizing that indeed there's something between him and Kuroko (at least in his heart… ck, he's so dense it's ridiculous!) *dies laughing* I'm glad that their classmates bring them together XD. Oh, and I manage to make all the GoM and their partners appear here! XDDD
Ah, as for the other pairs, I haven't yet decided who will be paired up with whom. I want to make AoKise and MidoTaka and MuraHimu and AkaFuri again in this story, plus KiyoHyuu, but with this direction it will be more KiseKasa, AoSaku, AkaReo… ah, I don't know. Let me think of something later for that. For now, let's focus on the KagaKuro and the play first! XD And how will the GoM sabotage the play? *grins* It will be revealed in NEXT chapter (I hope).
Saa, let me know what you think! Suggestion for the pairs in this story aside KagaKuro are also welcome. Maybe there should be a poll for which side pairings you want, readers. And the most voted ones will decide it!
