shooting star

When Kuroko proposes, it's laying on his back staring at the night sky. His hand is wrapped in Kagami's larger one, warm against the cool air around them, and he's surprised by how calm he feels. It had started just as a date. Watching shooting stars with the one you love was supposedly very romantic, and Kuroko can't find a reason to disagree. It's the two of you together, watching something which could easily be one of the most beautiful experiences of your life. There's also the wishing. Kuroko wasn't a very superstitious person--not at all. He was actually quite skeptical about everything.

But Kagami wasn't. That's why he chose this way to ask, when Kagami has that one look on his face; an almost childlike innocent curiosity, pure in the way everything Kagami did was. He was staring transfixed at the sky, barely even blinking. Kuroko knew this was important to Kagami--so he made it important to himself as well.

"What do you wish for?" Kagami asked.

"For us to be together forever." Kuroko looked over at Kagami, locking their eyes so Kagami would understand, so he could answer a question he never even asked. The pressure on his hand increased.

"Me too."
