The Seventh (Kuroko no Basket FanFic)

Chapter Twenty-Three

Aida's POV

"So you guys are FINALLY together, huh?" I asked Himeko and she did nothing but blush and smile to herself. Ugh, she looks so cute. 

We chatted with each other as the guys were going through drills from the regimen Hyuga and I thought of. We had a lot to work on but I needed some down time because of an injury. To think that I'd fall during the festival and twist my ankle. Talk about humiliation, not to mention the embarrassing fact that the basketball club coach had to rest for a while just because I slipped and fell. 

"So when was your first kiss?" I asked her, going straight for the sucker. She stayed silent for a while then her eyes went wide.

"Oh my- I can't believe it..." she muttered looking surprised and all.

"W-what?!" I asked, suddenly panicking.

"No way, seriously?!?!" she was half yelling now.

"Himeko! What is it! I'm freaking out here!"

She took in deep breaths, sat down calmly then faced me. 

"O-our first kiss was on the rooftop......"

...

...

...

...

"So?!" I asked her, sighing in relief. I thought something horrible happened.

"Well," Himeko said. "We weren't together then yet..."

"Then when was your first kiss as, you know, boyfriend and girlfriend?" I asked her, getting curious. 

"W-when we got home...... before he said those three words...."

OH MY GOD THREE WORDS MEANING I LOVE YOU

"B-before we went to bed...."

OH MY GOD ISN'T THAT SWEET!

"On the bed...."

..

..

..

..

..

"YOU DID IT ALREADY?!?!" I yelled and all the boys turned to us in silence. You could only imagine the look on Himeko's face as she panicked.

"N-no! You misunderstood! We haven't - why would you even think! It's too early! Why am I even thinking of? NO!"

I stared at her for a bit.

"Ooooooooh.... You meant the kiss?" Himeko sighed and everyone chuckled, even Kuroko.

I ship them so hard.

Kuroko's POV

Miyuki-chan and I were walking to Maji Burger, her hand in mine. I sensed she enjoyed it since she was smiling all the way. She really is cute.

Anyways, we arrived, ordered, then sat down at our usual booth. We sat beside each other and talked about school and stuff.

"Himeko?" I heard someone say. We turned to the side and saw a guy in a suit with a briefcase in hand.

"F-father?!" Miyuki-chan said in panic, half yelling. 

"I thought I'd find you here. Do you mind if I sit with you?" Miyuki sighed.

"I guess not..." He sat down and cleared his throat.

"Maybe I should leave..." I whispered to Miyuki but she looked at me with a pleading look. "Please stay with me," she whispered and I nodded with a smile, holding her hand tight under the table. 

"Did you want something?" she asked her father with a stern voice.

"Yes actually. First, I would like to apologize for what I said that night. I know that what I did wa wrong, it took me a while to-"

"Apology unaccepted."

"Please allow me to explai-"

"No. As merciless as I'm being, please understand that I have my reasons, much like you had yours. Now what is it that you really want because I know that you wouldn't come all this way just to apologize."

Her father cleared his throat once again. 

"I heard you were reviving one of your old companies. The committee of trustees has taken note of it's possible success. Cancel all your plans of renovation on the business."

I couldn't believe how selfish he was being. He asks Miyuki to stop working on her company right off the bat. I was about to defend Miyuki in her place. He was just too cruel. But Miyuki gripped my hand and I looked at her. She was fighting it all off.

"Father, if I should even call you that, my company wasn't something touched by yours at all. In fact, I started it on my own, no permissions, no other person's decision, if you can remember. Now that we're talking business, take this formally. It doesn't matter if you are my biological father or so, my work is none of your business. Please, have you no pity on yourself? You're asking your daughter to shut down her company just because it might become more successful than all your companies combined, some of them I helped out with via collaborations. Go back to your company and act like nothing happened. We're rivals now so I suggest you man up and face the facts. I'm trying to be the better person here by handing your dignity to you on a gold plate. Excuse us."

Miyuki grabbed her milkshake and stood up. I stood up with her, my milkshake in hand, and we both left the place hand in hand. Hers was shaking as we walked home.

"Miyuki-chan?" I asked, worried.

"P-please wait until we get back..." she muttered. I knew she was about to cry. I sighed and gripped her hand tightly. 

We rushed home and when we got there, Miyuki sat immediately on the couch, hugging her knees. I went to the kitchen and quickly fixed us up some hot chocolate. I came back and saw that she was starting to tremble. I let out a small chuckle as I set down the two mugs on the side table.

"Come on over here," I said, stretching out my arms and she hugged me immediately, crying onto my shirt. I gently massaged her back as she took in deep breaths.

"Sorry about that," she muttered, her voice a bit shaky as she stopped crying. "Thanks, by the way."

"Thanks for what?" I asked her.

"For staying with me and wanting to speak for me," she said with a small smile as she looked up at me. I gave her a small kiss on the lips and she blushed. She went back to digging her face onto my chest. I chuckled and held her tight.

"You know, the chocolate is gonna get cold soon," I said with a smile as I took a sip, holding the mug in one hand and holding Miyuki with the other. She looked up at me with a hopeless face. I sighed and gave her another kiss, a bit longer this time. We broke free and she blushed.

"Tastes like chocolate," she muttered and we both chuckled. We spent the rest of the night reading up for school the next day and drinking chocolate. It's practically a ritual now.

I just want this to last.
