Never Expected Of Myself To Fall [Kuroko No Basket]

Common Acquaintance

It was a normal day at Tokyo's Athletic academy. Kuroko and Yukiko had grown really close, as they were always together on lunch breaks, going on Maji Burger for their favorite : vanilla milkshake. Using their low-profile and lack of presence, they were not teased about the closeness of their relationship. Even though, deep inside, they both knew that they liked each other more than friends.

Yuri had successfully become Atsushi's snack buddy. They skipped their so called "boring classes" together, and had little picknicks in a corner of the campus. They were free spirits, they did not know what this warm feeling was, but they knew that they liked each other's company a lot.

Midorima had installed the Oha Asa radio program information on Naoki's cell phone, as the zodiac signs seemed to be another common thing of their interests. Naoki was not obsessed though, she did not carry the lucky items with her, except if Virgo was ranked last. Generally speaking, their library meetings could be misunderstood for library dates, according to their closeness, cuteness and blushing faces. They surely were more than friends deep inside.

Yoshira and Kise were commonly mistaken for a couple, because of the open way they express their affection, something that caused dislike of their fans. Kise is more open with morning hugs, and he is a loud person, which causes Yoshira to blush at his actions, which sparks the envy between them and their fans.

Aomine was really slow to accept the fact that he likes Asuka more than the others think. So did her. But his arrogance and pride was an obstactle, as well as hers. They were constantly fighting about anything. She is a fierce girl that cannot let others be superior. They had been really close this last month, almost "too close". They were always together on the rooftop sharing their boredom, or at the gym challenging each other on impossible tasks.

Akashi and Akane were a constant tease. They were together at the Student Council's meetings and were teasing each other, in a cute way. They sometimes got mean at each other, but... that was them. Everyone saw the protectiveness and the affection, but would not say anything.
Their courting and flirting was by far the cutest, as it existed through mean sayings.

~Time skip~

"Tomorrow is Thursday." Aomine said as they were sitting all together.
"So?" Asuka questioned.
"We will be practicing with those football punks." He said.
"Again. So?" Asuka questioned.
"We don't like them." Akashi said.
"Neither do we." Akane looked at him.
"They just hit on you and the whole team, Akane-chii"
"They are scums, nanodayo."
"Guys, we do not want them either but we can't do anything." Naoki said.
"They remind me of Haizaki-kun." Kuroko suddently said.
Silence.
Akane spoke first. "What is his surname, Kuroko-kun?"
"Shõgo Haizaki".
Silence again.
"Where do you know him, Tetsyua-kun?" Yukiko asked.
"He was our teammate in middle school, Teiko. Where do you, nanodayo?"
"Ah the world is small. Our high scholl was called: Fukuda Sõgõ" Yuri said.
Everyone looked at Yuri.
"What did he do to your school?"
"Ah mostly seeking trouble with guys hitting on girls. Like to the majority of them."
"Has he hit on you?"
"I think every single one. But he always wanted two girls: Akane and Asuka. He said he liked fierce women."
Yuri said and scoffed once he remembered the idiotic male.
"And?" Akashi impatiently said. "What happened next?"
"Oh, Akane was far off his league so he just tried to hit on Asuka, unsuccessfully of course."
Aomine was feeling uneasy. He was so angry at the male. 'Please don't be jealousy' It really was though. He gripped the staircase with force and went out to get fresh air. Asuka followed. "Daiki, won't you get inside?" He answered with a shrug.
"Is something wrong?" 'Everything' he was about to say, when he just nodded a "no".
It seemed idiotic and foolish to him the fact that he was falling for a girl.
"Oi baka" Asuka called "wanna go with me to the mini market? I want some juice."
"Hm.. ok." Aomine just agreed.

They were heading to the store when they heard basketballs bouncing.
"Street play" Aomine said with a smirk.
"Lets go, you play" Asuka said.
"What? Not now, I'm bored. They are probably losers either way."
"I will go alone then."
"Tch. Fine."
As they got closer, there was this player with the hoodie that was playing so well , even Aomine was beyond impressed.
"I am motivated now. Watch me kick the guy's ass."
Asuka's eyes suddently widened, she immediately grabbed Aomine's hand and pushed him away.
"What?" Aomine said.
"You know the guy."
"What?!?!?"
"It's Haizaki."

Upon a mention of his name, Haizaki turned around. He smirked widely when he saw the familiar faces.
"Aomine... long time no see baka."
Aomine just wanted to punch his face. They never were on good terms.
"And Asuka-chan... that is a pleasant surprise..." he whispered and grabbed her to him by the shirt.
Asuka was about to slap him and his arrogant smirk when Aomine dragged her to him.
"Don't tell me you are with this asshole, Asuka-chan." Haizaki's eyes sparked.
"And if she is, what the hell is your problem?" Daiki responded.
Asuka added "I really regret dragging you here Daiki-kun."
"Oh, what is that? You wanted to see me?" Haizaki playfully told her while dragging her to his side.
"No, she wanted me to beat your ass."
Aomine angrily responded, while pushing her to him.
"Enough! Cut it out! You are dragging me like a rag doll!" Both let go of her shirt. "You are not fist fighting tonight. Understood?"
Just then, Haizaki grabbed her harshly by the waist. Aomine's blood boiled. Just when he was about to throw a punch, Asuka slapped Haizaki in the face.
Aomine waisted no time, as he grabbed Asuka's hand and got out of the place, and started walking away.
Then Asuka said : "relax, you are gripping my hand too tight".
Aomine relaxed a bit. "I'm sorry. I just don't want to see his hands on you".
Before he understood what he said, they were both blushing madly.

'Here you go, saying things like that baka... We never bought that juice either'...
