50 Drabbles

first kiss

Kuroko often stayed the night at Kagami's apartment. Kagami would set out the futon next to his bed, and they'd go to sleep. In the morning Kagami would wake up earlier than Kuroko and make breakfast, until the smell dragged the bed haired boy into the kitchen.

Tonight was much the same. It started as a study session, but Kagami had never been known for his concentration, and they were watching a basketball game on TV when they realized how late it had gotten. So Kuroko make a quick call to tell his parents he was staying the night before going back to the game.

Their before-bed routine was the same as always--taking turns in the bathroom to brush their teeth, Kagami setting out the futon for Kuroko before laying in his own, watching Kuroko crawl under the covers.

It's only later that things strayed from the normal. Kagami had fallen quickly into a dreamless sleep, but was woken when some time later by a shifting on his bed. For a moment in his half asleep delusion he panicked, thinking Kuroko's damn dog had somehow made it into his bedroom--but Nigou wasn't even here, he was at Kuroko's house because Kuroko was polite enough to leave him there when they studied. That was when he actually opened his eyes enough to see light blue hair, gray in the dim light, peaking from under the blankets.

"Kuroko?!" He half whispered. "What are you doing?"

"Kagami-kun's bed is warm." Kuroko replied, burying further into the bed.

"I'll get you another blanket, so get out!" Kagami wasn't sure what he was so frantic about--Tatsuya and him had shared a bed more times than he could count, so why did this feel so... different?

"Kagami-kun is making Kagami-kun's bed warm. It's not the same as another blanket." Kuroko wiggled until he could see Kagami's face. "Is this a problem?"

Kagami almost blurted out yes without thinking, but stopped himself. It wasn't really a problem, was it? It was cold, and Kagami was sure his bed was more comfortable than the futon. So, with a grudging sort of tone, he said: "Not really..." Kuroko relaxed after that, on his back and breathing steadily until Kagami thought him to be asleep.

Thought, because when Kagami finally started drifting off, Kuroko suddenly turned, so he was inches away from him. Kagami's breath hitched, and then stopped all together when he saw Kuroko staring at him, a certain gleam in his otherwise blank eyes.

Kagami was about to ask 'what' when Kuroko lurched forward, pressing their lips together. A flare went up in his mind and he could feel the heat rising to his face, threatening to explode into flames--but then Kuroko was gone, facing away from him, looking as if he had been sleeping the entire time. Kagami followed suit, staring at the wall as though it would tell him why Kuroko had just kissed him.

The wall however seemed just as clueless as him, and in the morning when he woke after little sleep he had no more answers than the night before.
