"Maybe," Kise said. "But it's kinda normal in my world, with modeling and my dad being a former go-go dancer slash soft-core porn writer. Granted, he did always censor his stories with us."

He gave Kuroko a long look before realizing where his friend's gaze was.

Ah. Okay, that made much more sense than Kuroko realizing he had feelings for him. A jolt of jealousy stabs through him, but he's not sure who he's jealous of; Akashi for having the attention of the guy he liked or Kuroko for wanting Akashi.

Both, he realized. He takes a breath, lets the feeling go, then leans over and hugs Kuroko. "I won't say anything," he promised.

He's talked to Akashi about who he likes, and there's no one at the moment. Akashi isn't aromantic, but he may be similar to Kuroko in that aspect. Though Akashi's sex drive is, well, Kise has no complaints about any part of their relationship, least of all its physical and intimate elements. They are very fond of each other, and the connection is emotionally personal as much as it is physically, but it's not true love. It's very close, and if he and Akashi stayed like this forever, Kise would be thrilled. But they can't, and that fact doesn't sadden Kise as much as it would if it was true love.

Maybe he's wired differently, too.
