Kagami

My chest squeezed slightly when Kuroko came into view, but I never understood why it happened. I found the trouble to approach him suddenly, and Kise noticed, teasing me from time to time. Of course, I only shot him a glare whenever he does that.

Kuroko seemed confused with my behavior, and I was, too. Avoiding him was something difficult to do, but my heart wouldn't stop racing whenever I was around him. You'd probably be thinking I'd fallen for him, but you're definitely wrong there. I knew I don't swing that way, and most probably won't.

"You gotta stop doing what you're doing, Kagamicchi," Kise sighed heavily. "Kurokocchi's not liking this, and I don't either."

"I don't know why I'm acting like this, Kise," I snapped. "Stop bothering me. I'll figure out a way."

The blond crossed his arms in an annoyed manner, and his eyes glared at me. "Well, you better figure it out quick, the game is approaching, which means Aomine will be there too."

I flinched a little at that name. He was right, deep down inside of me I knew he was right. If Kuroko were to see him again, there's a slight chance that he'll become depressed and turn into an emotional wreck. I can't have him being like that during the game. We gotta win!

"Give me three days," I sighed. "I'll find a way. I'll talk to him soon, I promise."

"You better."

I hated avoiding Kuroko.

Seeing those sad blue eyes whenever I walk passed him crushed me inside, but I didn't know what was making me do this. My heart would clench tightly whenever I was around him, and being nervous was making the situation even worst.

"I need to speak to you, Kagami-kun." He said, and I tried to avoid him again. He managed to stop me before I could do anything this time, though. I mentally panicked. I should be the one to make the first move, not him.

"I'm busy, Kuroko." My words came out cold, and I wanted to stab myself really badly.

I caught a glimpse of his expression before I turned away. My chest squeezed painfully. Those hurt eyes pleaded for my attention. Why was I acting this way?

"Do you hate me, Kagami-kun?"

Huh? There's no way I could hate you, baka!

"Leave me alone for now, Kuroko. I'm serious. Don't make me hit you." I snarled.

"Tell him the truth," Kise appeared out of nowhere, blocking me from escaping. I cussed at him, though he made no reaction. I was forced to face Kuroko again, then, and I bowed my head in anger. I wasn't angry at Kuroko though, don't get me wrong. I was angry at myself for treating him this way.

"Kagami-kun?" His voice cracked.

I sighed heavily. It's better to tell him now than never.

"You did nothing wrong, Kuroko," I mumbled. "It's not you, it's me. I... I can't think straight these days."

"Oh, for the love of —"

Kise stopped his sentence before pushing me forward, hard. My eyes widened and I felt myself falling towards the small-framed boy. Kuroko panicked, but it happened too fast.

And I was already kissing him before my mind could process what was happening.

"There, it's settled," The blond clasped both his hands in excitement. "Get him before Aominecchi does, Kagamicchi."

My mind was blurred, and I could hardly hear what Kise just said. Kuroko's lips were soft. It was weird for me to say this, but...

He pulled away before I could do anything

"I-I'm sorry." I blushed.

Kuroko only shook his head, his face as red as mine. I glared at Kise, who only showed me an innocent grin.

"Kise-kun, could you give us a moment alone please?" The blue-haired boy finally said, his head bowed down a little in embarrassment. Kise raised his eyebrows, but agreed anyway. He left us after saying goodbye, and it was awkward all over again.

"I'm sorry," I decided to speak first. "I know I've hurt you, but I needed to clear my mind off things."

Kuroko glanced at me with nervous eyes. "It's okay, Kagami-kun. We're alright now, right?"

I nodded, then hesitantly pulled him into a hug. Kuroko gasped a little, surprised by my sudden action. I was surprised too. I didn't know what I was doing.

"I think... I'm falling." I murmured.

"What?"

Kuroko...

I bent down a little and kissed him again, gently this time. Kuroko hesitated at first, but slowly he kissed me back, wrapping his arms around my shoulders.

I pulled away after a while, breathing heavily. Kuroko's cheeks were redder now, though this time he was smiling.

"I'm falling for you, Kuroko, hard."
