My Heart is My Basketball
I don't really like being invisible. Sure it has its perks when it comes to the game but it's a huge deterrent when I have someone I like. No. I think I'm past the point of like. I think I'm in love with them. But again being invisible can be good since the one I like…is a guy. For now it's enough for me just to look and he is completely unaware of my presence, let alone my feelings. It's better off that way. It'll save me the pain. For now.
"Kuroko get your head in the game! Kagami, pass! Hyuuga, catch and shoot! Good!"
Aida was yelling orders to us as practice for an upcoming game against Kaijo High. Kise played for that team. The Generation of Miracle's member was a formidable opponent but I wasn't too concerned about it. It was my being able to keep up that was worrying me. Even now during the practice I was sweating and struggling to keep up. We'd been going at this for almost an hour so I guess that was pretty good.
"Ok! Practice is over! Good job guys! Kuroko work on keeping up! Kagami, jump a little higher, Koganei, you're useless! I told you…" she went on to lecture but I tuned her out and headed back to the locker rooms.
No one bothered me like usual. Sometimes I wished at least one person would say 'hello' once in a while. Oh well. The locker room was full and people hit me as they went about changing but they took no notice. I grabbed my clothes and to avoid any further jostling I took my clothes and walked back outside to the sports equipment shed and began my undressing there.
Clack!
The handle of the shed turned violently and a ton of basketballs were thrown inside. One came straight for my face and there was a dull thunk as it nailed me flat in the forehead. The ball bounced right back out the door and who ever had thrown it in cursed lightly and picked it back up. I turned to the door while clutching my throbbing forehead and saw Kagami's head peek around the door. Again he threw the ball in there and this time I was ready for it and caught it, the sound of the hollow, solid ball echoing in the empty space around us.
"Whoa! Kuroko! I didn't see you in there!" Kagami laughed as he walked into the sports shed.
I nodded and let the basketball drop to the floor and roll off to join the others. Kagami. Kagami Taiga. The red headed beauty of the team. It was embarrassing for him to be here with me half naked, my pants already on the floor with only my long jersey covering my underwear. He was the one of my affection after all. I didn't say anything and he just looked closer at me while I stared at him with an unwavering gaze.
"Your forehead's bleeding." He commented and poked it.
I gave a grimace and pulled my head back to put my hand to my forehead again. Indeed there was blood.
"You should look where you throw the basketballs."
He was silent and when I looked at him he seemed to have a disgruntled expression warring with a worried expression. Finally the worried one won.
"I'm sorry. Though I have to be honest that I don't think I'd have seen you anyways. You do have that magical disappearing ability after all." He laughed.
Somehow his words seemed to hit home in my heart and a blush scattered across my face with hurt and I turned away quickly, my head lowered so he couldn't see such an embarrassing change in my usually unchanging face.
"Yeh, I know." I whispered and turned so my back was to him.
Knowing it meant nothing to him I pulled my jersey over my head and tossed it to the floor next to my other clothes.
"Whoa whoa! What are you doing?!" Kagami yelled.
I cast a glance over my shoulder to look at his face. Surprisingly it had turned a nice shade of red that was slowly brightening to the color of his dark hair.
"I couldn't change in the locker room so I came here instead."
'Why?"
"I keep getting hit in there. But I guess it doesn't make a difference out here either."
Again he gave me that hurt expression and I saw his face turn a bit lighter as his embarrassment fled. Somehow that didn't make me feel any better either. I turned even further around and looked at him full on. At my movement his blushed picked up once again and he continued avoiding my eyes.
"I'm really sorry 'bout that. I really didn't see you."
"Yeh, I know. It's fine."
"If there was anything I could do you know? Like get you a Band-Aid or bandage or something?"
"Anything." I whispered and for a second I could fantasize.
"Anything." He confirmed.
Now I turned to face him full on and he skittered back a bit while blushing furiously. I walked over to him and he kept backing up until he was in the doorway. I reached out, my hand going directly for him but instead of reaching for him I reached behind him and tugged the door closed and locked it.
"I'm changing remember?"
Kagami let out a huge breath and slumped a little as I backed up.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout that."
"It's ok. You'll do anything right?" I asked, my words brazen.
"Y-yes. What do you have in mind?" he blushed out obviously more effected by the atmosphere in here than he was truly letting on.
"Then kiss it and make it better." I commanded and lifted my head so I was staring at him.
There was a moment of sputtering and furious blushing before he went silent and just stared at me. I could tell he was debating on whether or not to just yell like he usually did or to actually do it. After all there were no windows, the door was locked and he'd said he'd do anything. Finally he blew out a breath and lifted the light blue hair on my forehead back and gently pressed his warm lips to my cut.
I reveled in his warmth and kindness for those few seconds before he pulled back. I was definitely blushing by now and we stared at each other for a while longer. I don't think either of us could believe that'd just happened.
"Do it again." I whispered.
Again he leaned forward and pressed his lips to my forehead with no hesitation this time. I leaned into that kiss and he leaned against the wall. My hands ended up clutching his jersey front and his other hand had gone around my back, pressing his warm fingers into the small of my bare back. His touch was just too much. The fire in my veins seemed to race throughout me before centering in my hips. Yet his lips were still there, I didn't want to break away. But I had to otherwise he might find out if he hadn't already.
I tugged my face back and began pulling my body back but Kagami's hands pulled me back. The hand holding my hair back wrapped around the back of my head a forced me to look at him. The blush on my face grew slightly as I watched his confused face that was still lit in his own beautiful blush.
"Why would you want a kiss?"
I blanked. There was no way I could answer that. So I just stared at him with a blank face to hide what I was really thinking.
"You know I don't swing that way."
Those words. Those dreaded words pierced my heart and drew tears to my blank expression as soon as the words left his mouth. I tried to pull back even harder now but he gripped harder and I knew with his strength I wouldn't win.
"Hey! Let me finish would ya?! It's kinda hard to say this!"
I froze and tried my best to hold back my tears but one fell and I immediately shook my head and my tear fell and disappeared.
"I was saying," he blew out a breath and looked away for a second, "that I don't swing that way, but," another pause and an even deeper blush, "I think…I could… for you."
If possible I went even stiller. Did I really hear what I thought I heard?
"I thought you wouldn't see me even if you looked." I muttered in monotone, repeating his own words back to him from earlier.
He let go of my head to run that hand through his hair. "Sorry. I lied. I was just flustered that you were half naked. Well, now you're even more naked. It just… shocked me so I lied. Sorry."
I shook my head. "That's not good enough."
He looked at me shocked and went silent for a while. The air felt a little heavy with sudden tension before he spoke again. "What?"
I reached up and my arms encircled his neck, deciding it was either now or never and never is such a long ways away. "I said that's not enough. I need a better apology."
Now Kagami smiled and put his hand back against the back of my head and pulled his head down from his great height to match mine and I pulled myself up onto my toes and finally, finally brought my lips to his. Oh my. The taste of him exploded over my tongue as I lightly traced his bottom lip before pulling his lips harder onto mine. The slight hesitation that had been in the rhythm of his lips disappeared as soon as he lent me entrance and as I swept my tongue into his hot mouth, his own tongue, stronger than mine delved deep into my mouth, reaching as if to cling and stay there.
Breathe! My lungs suddenly screamed as I'd held my breath at the sheer intensity of our connection.
With an echoing gasp I broke away, tilting my head upwards as if the air was all centered above us. Kagami wasted no time in trailing his moist lips down my jaw, tracing my jugular to my collarbone. The fires raced within me as I felt his lips latch onto my collarbone and sucked harshly at the tender flesh.
He released his mouth with an audible pop and leaned back for a second to admire his handy work. Indeed I could already feel it forming. A bright purple was probably already shining just below where the shirt collar would be. Smart.
"K-Kagami. It's not enough."
"I'll give you enough. I'll give you enough forgiveness for the both of us."
My body ached at the thought of what exactly that 'forgiveness' could be. I reached between us with a bold hand and slipped my hand beneath his jersey. My burning fingertips traced the smooth contours of his lean stomach, diving into his navel and running circles around it. He gave an unexpected groan and the air around me seemed to turn into wind and I experienced a weird sense of vertigo before my bare back touched the cold floor. Kagami towered over
