The Lost Shadow

9

{Kuroko POV}

After waking up from that terrifying dream, I managed to fall asleep again.

That dream was downright horrifying...

It was a nightmare of the past. Something I've been trying to forget.

When I woke up again, I was in a bed. It was warm, but it wasn't familiar.

I groaned, moving around. My movement was minimized. I lazily opened my eyes, to see a streak of dark red.

At first, confusion mixed in with my sleepiness. Everything was hazy, and it was so comfortable, I didn't want to move.

Then I realized that there was a big lump next to me, radiating most of the warmth I was receiving.

Is this a body pillow...?

Then the big lump shifted, and groaned, and that's when I realized I was sleeping with someone.

Surprised, I jolted up, smacking whatever it was with all the strength I had.

"Ow!"

I blinked the sleepiness away and looked to see Kagami-Kun glaring at me.

"Oi! That hurt!"

He sighed and groaned, rubbing his head.

"K-Kagami-Kun...? What're you...What am I...?"

"Geez, you have terrible memory." He said, rubbing his disheveled hair. "You fainted on the court, idiot."

I racked my brain for the forgotten memories.

"I did?"

"Yeh."

I rubbed my head, but then remembered something. "Why does that lead to the fact that we're sleeping together?"

He sighed. "You woke up once and started crying like a baby." He explained, yawning. "And then you wouldn't let my arm go and kept muttering that bastard's name."

He looked over at me, and his face twisted into a smirk.

"Pffft. What's wrong with your hair?"

I patted my hair down. "I get bed hair..."

"Uh huh, I can see that..." He rubbed the place I hit again, glaring at me. I didn't feel any guilt for it, it wasn't ENTIRELY my fault.

"Well then." He said, yawning. "Since today's a weekend, you're gonna take a shower, change and GET OUT. That is, unless you're feeling unwell."

He got out of the bed, and towards a door. He left the room, and I heard him yawn again.

I looked around at what seemed to be his room. It was tidy; white walls, with a few posters and pictures, a single desk and chair in the corner with a lamp and laptop. A closet, probably filled with our school uniforms and other casual clothing, topped with a few medals.

I got off the bed slowly, the wood tiles creaking under my weight. Next to the bed sat my clothes from yesterday.

Wait a minute. My clothes from—?

I looked down to see a pair of shorts, with a baggy shirt, hanging on my body. A huge belt wrapped around my waist to prevent the pants from falling.

They had Kagami-kun's smell. Strangely enough, that smelled good.

I decided to quickly change and leave, and take a shower at my own respective home.

I took off the sweater, when all of a sudden—
