For Kise, things go as he assumed they would. His agent informed his more obsessive fans sent letters despairing he turning gay (jokes on them, he was born that way) and pleading he 'return to the light of pure love' or something like that. He got some teasing from his model friends, but it was light and friendly.

His teammates were a little more cautious about teasing him. His ducklings still followed him around and suspected he'd get a few more next year.

He worried about Kuroko, though. He knew the other boy was perfectly capable of taking care of himself by disappearing, but he worried about the shoe locker. He didn't pay attention to the fans that insulted his co-workers, so he didn't know where they went to school. Or even if they were in school. For all he knew, they could be adults. Teachers.

His imagination was running wild with it.
