Unrequited Love?

[yellowcopycat]

Kaijou and Seirin had just had their first practice match, which was shaping up to be a tradition of sorts. This time, Kaijou had gone to Seirin. The gym was nice, newer then Kaijou's but maybe not as big. 

 

He was breathing heavily, but smiling broadly. It always felt good to play, even if it was just a practice match and they weren't going all out. After all, he wanted to keep some of his new tricks up his sleeves, just like he was sure Kagami and Kuroko were hiding some of their new tricks too. This year's match had ended in a draw. Better than last year's practice match, which had ended in Kaijou's loss by two points.  

 

Just thinking about Kuroko made Kise look over to the Seirin team, focusing in on the smaller boy. 

 

For awhile now Kise had realized that he had feelings for Kuroko. Kise had looked up to Kuroko for awhile, but it wasn't really until after the Winter Cup that Kise realized he was probably in love with Kuroko. 

 

He took a towel that one of the first years offered him. "Thanks," he said absently. He scrubbed at his face, his thoughts racing. He had been thinking about Kuroko a lot lately, and seeing him only brought those thoughts back to the surface, only pushed aside when the game had begun. Now with the game over he couldn't focus. The warm glow in his chest that came whenever he thought about Kuroko was back with a vengeance.

 

The Kaijou team was gathering their things and getting ready to board the bus. He told the first year that he'd be along in a bit and began to head over to the Seirin team. 

 

"Kurokocchi~" he called out. No time like the present, he thought. He didn't know if Kuroko would return his feelings, but he was hopeful. The time Kuroko had cheered him on while he went up against Haizaki stood out in his mind. 

 

"Kurokocchi! You got a minute?"

Mihoshi-nee says men are scrotum and ego, stroke either and men are happy.

[misdirects]

Honestly, if Kuroko was drinking something, he would've spit it out.

A simple way of looking at it, but I suppose she is not wrong.

[yellowcopycat]

Yeah... I like to think I'm more than my balls and ego.

I'm def not stroking Midorimacchi's balls. XP

[misdirects]

Please do not give me such psychically damaging mental images.

[yellowcopycat]

Think of it as payback for all the times you've punched me.

[misdirects]

Those were all well-deserved.

Mostly.

[yellowcopycat]

They were not!! =(

[Have a picture of Kise's pouty face.]

[misdirects]

They were.

He sends back a picture of just the top part of his face with a disinterested look, ala the icon.

[yellowcopycat]

I'm telling Sei you're being mean to me!!

[misdirects]

Akashi-kun holds no power over me.

[yellowcopycat]

Too late, I already told on you >P

And Akashi sends a laughing emoji to Kuroko.

[misdirects]

Oh no, whatever shall I do.

He sends Akashi back a: 🤭

[yellowcopycat]

Kise is pouting because he's getting attacked on both sides because Akashi is teasing him too.

Not that this is very serious.

He'll do something.

Akashi will do nothing.

[misdirects]

Having your boyfriend fight for you... quite shameless.

[yellowcopycat]

There's a minute where Kise keeps writing, deleting, and rewriting his message.

Kurokocchi. You know exactly how shameless I am.

[misdirects]

That's true. I've come to just accept that is a key characteristic of yours.

[yellowcopycat]

There's a beat.

Yeah. To be fair. I was trying to hide that one time.

[misdirects]

The attempt was appreciated. I apologize for Nigou.

It is certainly embarrassing to think back on now.

[yellowcopycat]

... Sometimes, you just gotta take care of things. You know?

Anyway, he's a puppy, so it's okay. He probably wonders why we wear clothing at all. Or use a toilet instead of going outside.

[misdirects]

I suppose so.

He has warmed up to you. I recall he used to be quite indifferent.

[yellowcopycat]

Dogs are like boys. Feed them, and they're happy.

Probably helped that Kise did lighten up quite a bit since their first year.

[misdirects]

An extremely simplified way of looking at it, but I can't say it's not true.

[yellowcopycat]

Food is life.

Anyway, I'm going to bed! Catch you later~

After that, it's two days between Kise contacting anyone to him flooding the MiraChat with pictures again. This time, OSU campus. The entire state of Ohio seems to be obsessed with football. The campus gym is one of the better ones he's seen, and he even sneaks a picture of a bowl of free condoms set out in front of the student health office that's located in the main gym captioned with an '=o'

[misdirects]

Good night and have fun.

To the condoms, all Kuroko can comment is: At least they are promoting safe sex.

[yellowcopycat]

Yeah, but that's... a lot. I figured I'd see more like this in California. Or a nightclub.

Granted, he hadn't been given a personal tour at UCLA like he had been at OSU. The Ohio school really was going out of its way to court him.

Aomine reacted to the picture of condoms with a comment that went along the lines that he went there; it'd be empty, and that caused a bit of a dogpile on him.
