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?"

Be glad dad's here otherwise I might have let myself be talked down to my undies =P

[misdirects]

Very concerning.

[yellowcopycat]

=)

I think I'm getting used to America. I can't believe Kagamicchi is such a prude compared to the guys here!

[misdirects]

You assume he interacted with anyone outside of school and streetball.

[yellowcopycat]

Hmmm... He was kinda a stick in the mud when I first met him. I would have thought he would have loosened up.

Oh! I just remembered! Aominecchi told me he wore swimming trunks in the hot spring!

Kagamicchi IS shy! No wonder he hasn't responded to Aominecchi's courtship! He's too forward!

[misdirects]

Actually... you may be onto something. I hadn't considered it from that angle.

[yellowcopycat]

See? I'm people smart.

[misdirects]

Dubious statement.

[yellowcopycat]

You shouldn't be mean to me while I'm this pretty AND while my father's flirting with a...

Well, I can't fault him for his taste, even if the guy is too old for me. He looks sorta like Batman's real identity... uh, I can't remember the name.

[misdirects]

Bruce Wayne.

Your prettiness doesn't dictate how I act towards you. If anything, it's a minus.

At least your father is having fun.

[yellowcopycat]

Kurokocchi is mean =( Why is my prettiness a minus?

[misdirects]

Simply, it gives you too much power.

[yellowcopycat]

I can't help I'm beautiful. At least I have good hygiene. Remember when Aominecchi decided he didn't need to shower every day?

[misdirects]

I'm not sure I should give you points simply for adhering to the bare minimum. Aomine-kun should not be used as a comparison.

[yellowcopycat]

I do more than the bare minimum!!

[misdirects]

Yes, yes good for you. I'm sure you do not need brownie points on this front.

[yellowcopycat]

I absolutely do! You have no idea how uncomfortable some of these things are! Do you trim your pubes weekly? Your eyebrows? I do! I put a lot of work into myself. A good chunk of my paycheck goes into it. The only reason I get to keep as much as I do is because I have access to a free gym.

[misdirects]

It seems like an awful lot of work.

But I suppose this is part of your job.

Therefore, your brownie points is your income.

[yellowcopycat]

I've bleached my asshole!

[misdirects]

He would've sputtered if this was an in-person conversation. Since it isn't, he simply sends:

TMI.

[yellowcopycat]

I'm gonna dance with some hot guys now.

[misdirects]

Enjoy yourself.

[yellowcopycat]

Suffice it to say, Kise's a bit pissed off what he considers one of his defining features to be a detriment.

So he spends the rest of the night dancing and recording things/taking pictures for Akashi...

...That accidently get sent to Kuroko. One of which involves him starting the video by saying, "Just like you asked for Sei~" followed by making out with a stranger, who like Kise had a big black 'X' on the back of his hand, indicating they're under twenty-one, who was very handsy with him.

That's the most explicit of them, the other video was him being between the guy he made out with and another under-twenty-one-year-old.

[misdirects]

The time difference means it's only afternoon for Kuroko, which is a bit of an awful time to receive such videos unbidden, especially when the auto-play feature is turned on. He only gets past the greeting to Akashi and a moment of the kiss before he swipes out of it, force-closing the application.

He doesn't know how to feel about seeing videos not intended for his eyes. It's clearly late in Ohio, so perhaps there is no point in sending a message now when Kise is busy enjoying himself.

Several hours down the line, later into the night, but only early evening for Kuroko responds with only:

You should take care to note the intended recipient of your messages, Kise-kun.

[yellowcopycat]

It's really early by the time Kise sees the message.

First thing first. Send all the promised material to Akashi, then tell him he accidentally sent it to Kuroko. Akashi, who somehow developed a sense of humor- Reo's fault most likely, responded with a 'well shit.'

Then, it was time for damage control.

So... call me if it's not too late there?
