Kagami My Hero (Kagami X OC)

Chapter 27

Kagami's perspective~
I decided to go to the basketball courts to practice while I wait for Nova. "Sheesh, she always takes a long time with Ms.Carter." I mumbled to myself. Then I heard a small voice out of nowhere. "Hello Kagami-kun." There's only one person who calls me that "Kuroko?"

"Kagami-kun are you practicing?" He tilted his head in confusion.
"No I'm getting ready for a dance competition with my friends from the hood." I said in a sarcastic tone. "What does it look like I'm doing? Plus when did you get here?"
He stared at me with those big blank blue eyes "I've been here the whole time." Riiiiiight, lack of presence.

"Ah... Ok... Anyway. What's up?"
"Kagami-kun the winter cup is coming up. You've been spending a lot of time with Nova so I wanted to make sure you're still practicing."
I have been spending a lot of time with her, but for good reasons. I do still need to keep up my practicing if I wanna take down HIM.

At the thought of this guy I clenched my fist. Kuroko walked up to me and kneed me in the stomach.
"OUCH! What the hell was that for?"
I yelled while holding my stomach.
"We'll take down Aomine so don't worry. Just keep practicing." He held out a hand to fist bump.
"Baka. Of course we will."
I returned the fist bump and we started to practice together.

We practiced until finally Nova showed up. I had sweat dripping down my face and body. God I needed a water. *SMACK*
"Ouch! What the hell? Things keep hitting me." I looked down to see a water bottle.
"Oh shut up and be happy I gave you a water!" A familiar voice said.
Looking up I saw Nova. She looked at me and gave me a sparkling smile. I picked up the water bottle "There are other ways to give it to me as opposed to throwing it." I said taking a sip.
"Alright, alright I'm sorry." She rolled her eyes and sat down on a bench.

"So what have you been doing?" She said taking out her homework. "Practicing for the winter cup."
"K-kuroko!? When did you get here!?"
At least I wasn't the only one who didn't notice the bluenette.
"Nova-kun I've been here the whole time." He replied in his monotone voice. "Ah ok. Sorry Kuroko." "It's ok."

"Anywho... Kagami I have great news!" She squealed and clapped her hands. "What is it?" I hadn't seen her this happy in weeks. It was nice to see her enjoying herself. "Ms.Carter is going to adopt me!"
My mouth dropped open. I wasn't sure how to react to this information. Should I be happy? Should I be concerned? I don't wanna fuck up again.

"Um... Um..." I started to sweat more because of nerves.
Nova looked at me confused then she seemed to realize the situation.
"Ah ok. Listen I know it's a lot to take in right now. I understand that. But I trust Ms.Carter and thinks she's a great person. So don't worry so much ok."
Oh Nova... Thank god you're not like Bethany or other girls. Most of them would have had a freak attack, but not you.

I ran over and hugged her "Thank you for being you." I said in a very relieved voice. She chuckled at my comment and tone of voice. "You ready to go home? Well to your home at the moment... I mean..."
"Kagami calm down sheesh. You're so uptight sometimes."

I sat with her on the bench and put my hand on the back of my neck. "I guess I am sometimes, huh."
She looked me in the eyes "You also get flustered real easily."
And as she said this I got flustered. "N-no I don't!" She started to laugh "Yes you do! See your cheeks are red and everything. Bakagami." "Well you get flustered too." I said. "Oh really? When do I get flustered like you do?" She tilted her head in a cocky fashion. "When I do this-"

I kissed her on the lips. At first she was surprised and flustered, just like I wanted. After a few moments she returned my kiss. We sat in the bench just kissing, enjoying the warmth of each other. I pulled back because I needed to breath but also because I wanted to see her blushing face. "See I told you~" I said and lightly pinched her already red cheeks. "Oh shut up!" She said and slapped my hand away.

"Ha ha. Come on you. Let's go back to the house." I stood up but she continued to sit. "Come on." I said holding out my hand. "I don't wanna get up!" She wined. "*sigh* fine I'll carry you." I held out my arms in a position for her to get in and lay bridal style. "Yay~" she wrapped her arms around my neck as I grabbed her backpack. "Onward my trusty knight!" She pointed forward in the direction of the house and made a noble pose. I started to walk at a slow and steady pace so that the ride wasn't too bumpy. Soon Nova fell asleep in my arms and started to make cute little snoring sounds.

Her mouth hung open a little bit so I kissed her. She didn't kiss back but it was still nice.
I stopped and nuzzled my face into her hair and whispered in her ear "I'm so glad you're back to happy, funny Nova that I know. I love you."
