Aomine and the Tiger (kuroko no basket)

Warm

He looked around the store with people staring at him. He looked my way and our eyes met. He ran towards my table and then looked me in the face. "idiot!! where were you?!" Is he sweating? did he run all the way here?

He suddenly lifted me up over his shoulder and walked quickly out of the food place. As his back was facing the food place i saw kuroko with his cellphone out and waving. Damn it!

I was set down on the bench by the courts. "you idiot!" I flinched and then I tried to get up. "No! Sit down!" I was shocked to hear him talk to me this way.

"Ive been searching for you everywhere! Im just lucky Kuroko called me!" I couldn't look him in the eye. I just looked down the whole time.

"why..why were you searching..?" He suddenly grabbed my shoulders! eek...he's going to yell in my face again!

He suddenly pulled me into hug. One arm held my lower back while the other pushed my head into his shoulder. His scent is intoxicating my nose. He's too close.

"because I care about you!" I was shocked by his answer. I struggled and tried to push him back but I slowly stopped. I slowly lifted my arms and hugged him back. "...o-okay..I get it...let go..."

He slowly let go and looked me in the face. "don't run away anymore." he saw right through me. I knew I was running from something..but what? Oh I know!

"you're a really good guy." he looked shocked at me. "just a 'good guy'?" I looked blank at him and confused. "you're a great friend?" he looked like he had been blown over and he held his head while sighing. "close enough kitty."

I frowned. "I don't know why I got mad about that book but I think it might be that..." he brightened up and looked like he was expecting something great. "...I just don't like those things?" he suddenly turned depressed again and sunk his shoulders even lower.

"damn you are so THICK HEADED!" I jumped at that and shouted back.

"I AM NOT!"

"YES YOU ARE!"

"NO!"

"YES!"

We huffed and puffed and then we started laughing. "let's go home." I smiled and nodded and then he caressed my cheek. "see. now this smile isn't a lie." I blushed and felt my heart skip a beat. "h-hey! ill bite your finger off!" he laughed and then we started heading home.

He suddenly grabbed my hand as we walked down the sidewalk. "hey I know we're friends and everything but...do friends of the opposite gender hold hands like this?" he smiled and looked my way. "In our type of friendship, they do." I shrugged it off and just let it be.

My hand was warm.

It was 8:21 now. We got home and we separated hands. We walked in the house and all the lights were off. The house looks super dark like this. We started walking into the kitchen and then the lights flashed on and colors were flying everywhere while I heard voices yelling something I hadn't heard in a long time. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TORA!!!"

I blinked and then saw that the whole team was here and they surrounded the table. They all had those confetti shooters and smoke fizzed from them. I looked at the table and there was a cake with a little tiger drawn on it. Bowls were filled with chips and soda was in a ice chest.

I couldn't move. I had totally forgotten that it was my birthday. I felt a little nudge and I looked to where it came from. Aomine. "go on. blow the damn candles." I smiled and then everybody pushed me towards the cake. Momoi put the camera on a tripod and then pressed the timer button. As I blew the candles everybody surrounded me in the background. I felt something press against my cheek but then i shrugged it off. The camera caught it right on time.

We all looked to see if the picture came out alright and we checked. It was on cue! It caught the moment I blew the candles away and everybody seemed so bright and happy. All of a sudden we all saw something shocking in the picture. Aomine was kissing my cheek in the picture as I was blowing out the candles! That explains it!

I blushed and then started punching him as everyone laughed. I looked towards everyone and then I felt like I was on the verge of tears. "t-thank you guys.." They all smiled and it felt so warm and comforting I felt tears coming down. I suddenly jumped towards Aomine and snuggled into his chest. "h-hey-"

"be quiet. Im embarrassed and to top it off im crying!" everyone smiled and then Aomine patted my head. All of a sudden everyone jumped on us and then we all tumbled down onto the floor. "share Tora with us too!!"

Me and Aomine looked at them and they all had candy, popcorn, chips, and movies in their hands. "after we eat we're going to watch scary movies all night! We're also spending the night!! Since its friday its alright right?!" We all looked towards Aomine and he sighed. "yeah."

The team all jumped for joy and then pulled me and Aomine up. We all ate and then started eating the cake. After the cake we brought everything for the movie night. We sat in the living room and we all started watching the scary movies. We all shared the snacks and some of the guys would scream like girls. It was pretty hilarious. I sat in front of Aomine and leaned back into his chest (sat inbetween his legs). He rested his chin on my head while I held the popcorn on my lap.

I don't know when but I slowly dozed off and fell asleep. I could barely tell but I know I felt something stroke its fingers through my hair.

Something warm...
