Kuroko

It was the first day at Seirin High School, and you were nervous. Well, not really nervous so much as terrified for your life. After a lot of contemplation, your parents confirmed that you would be moving to Japan from (C/N). Therefore, you knew nobody except for your apartment neighbor, Kagami Taiga. He was a sweet fluffball that allowed you to stay near him until you understood what was going on.

Now Kagami was seated to your left, and was watching you fidget in your seat. He chuckled and turned to face you. "(F/N), are you okay?" His voice could be heard silently mocking you, and you glared daggers at the basketball player.

"What do you think, you dimwit?" You snapped back while unfolding your legs. Your left leg started to bounce out of nervousness and habit. "Oh, kill me now," a frustrated groan followed as your forehead hit the desk in front of you.

The teacher walked in and the class representative handed her the attendance for the class. You intently watched everything, trying to get the grasp of what was going on without blatantly embarrassing yourself. It was difficult, because there was a pair of cerulean eyes focused on your every move with fascination.

The class finished, and you mentally were screaming and panicking from how many notes you had, and the messiness of each page of hastily scrawled information. You turned to Kagami and leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "Taiga, who's the kid with blue hair sitting behind you? He's been staring at me this whole time,"

Kagami's face showed shock as he realized that you could see the Phantom Sixth Man, and stuttered out, "T-That's K-Kuroko Tetsuya. He's on the basketball team with me,"

"Really? He doesn't seem to be that tall. Is he a point guard?" You wondered while cupping your cheek and resting your elbow on the desk.

Kagami's surprise abruptly changed to confidence when he said, "Oh, he's definitely on the team. I'll introduce you to him properly at practice."

Excitement coursed through your veins at the idea.

Midorima

Takao brought you with him to the Shūtoku basketball team tryouts. At first, you'd been wary, because your childhood friend had been trying to persuade you to become manager, and you weren't sure if he was going to make you sign up without consent. Takao was a truly wild one.

Takao ran inside the gymnasium before remembering that he had dragged you here, and then proceeded to run back out causing everyone in the gym to be confused by his actions. You rolled your eyes and prayed to everything and anything that this would end up well.

It didn't. Your prayers were ignored, and once Takao had dragged you towards the captain and coach, he exclaimed loudly enough for everyone occupying the gym to hear, "This is my friend, (L/N) (F/N), and she's going to be our new manager!"

Your eyes comically widened before you released a nervous chuckle while saying, "O-Oh! It's perfectly fine if you already have one! I'll be on my way now!! Takao, make sure you tell me when tryouts are over!!!" Waving your hands nervously in front of you while walking backwards was not your forte, proven by how you bumped into one of the players trying out for the team.

Toppling over, you landed on the man with an oopf and a groan. Everyone in the gym saw you laying face up with your butt between his legs due to your height difference. The stranger's green hair certainly was different and a startling change to everyday hair colors. Unable to hold your curiosity, you exclaimed, "Is that your natural hair color? You look like a carrot,"

He glared at you with a passion before lifting you up by the waist. Squirming, you tried to get out of his grip until he finally flung you over his shoulder and walked towards the gym door. Sounds of protests and multiple 'shut up's could be heard from the two of you. Everyone was just watching this as if it was a reality tv show, and no one noticed the blush covering the shooting guard's face.

Arriving at the door, he peeled you off his shoulder and flung you out while muttering, "I'm not a carrot, damned devil woman,"

Slamming the door shut behind him, a few moments passed in silence until you heard Takao's teasing and you thought that he was really fun to rile up.

Murasakibara

You sighed and mentally prepared yourself for the tutoring session you had scheduled that would be occurring in less than half an hour. Even though the student was a year above you, apparently you were doing well enough in your advanced school classes that you could teach someone older.

The problem is that you had no clue who you were tutoring, what subject they needed help in, or how badly they were doing. All you knew was that the name seemed familiar, and the teacher had told you to buy a lot of candy and snacks.

That last part puzzled you a bit. Was Murasakibara Atsushi, the student you were teaching, needing help in a cooking class? What would they be asking you for?

Your hyperventilating was cut off by the doorbell ringing and two voices speaking loudly. Making sure one last time that everything was prepared on the table. You opened the door cautiously, unprepared for what you were about to see.

A purple dinosaur stood next to a mysterious poker-faced man, and to look at the purple-head, you needed to look straight up. "Oh, my Lord," you breathed out in shock. That seemed to make the man stop crunching on his potato chips, and you pieced together why you were required to purchase so much junk food.

"Hello," the man with a beauty mark said suavely. "Are you (L/N) (F/N)? I'm Himuro Tatsuya- a friend of Murasakibara's." He gestured to the giant next to him, and continued, "I'm just going to be here to make sure he actually studies, instead of falling asleep like he normally does."

All Murasakibara replied with was, "I'll sleep or I'll crush you," and that wasn't too convincing due to the lack of seriousness in his voice.

"No, you won't," Himuro chided his friend. "You will either study or get kicked off the basketball team."

"O-okay, should we start? Come in," you nervously stuttered and gestured for them to enter the house.

What had you just gotten yourself into?
