Of course, he's also richer than most of them. For him, he's following his father's example. Boys tend to do that, according to mom." He rolled his eyes. "Not completely true. I just look like Dad. I take more after Mom."

Kise looked at Kuroko for a moment, then put a hand on his shoulder. "I'll miss playing against Kuroko's basketball. It's the reason why mine's as good as it is." He gave Kuroko's shoulder a squeeze, then dipped a hook into the water again.
