That's Not How This Works

Chapter 8

Seven people sat at the table around you, each with varying levels of hate directed to a specific person. The person having hate directed to was currently shoving Maji Burgers into his mouth as if his life depended on it. You just awkwardly shifted in your seat, occasionally taking a fry and bumping into Murasakibara's hand- the one that continued to creep in and out of the fry holder.

Kagami finally looked up and saw Kuroko staring at him from behind the strawberry-colored straw of a vanilla milkshake. The taller teenager suddenly choked on the three sandwiches in his voracious mouth, gaining the attention of the others. You just sighed, not at all surprised.

"Don't forget to breathe, child. One day, you're going to kill yourself, you idiot." Your chiding caused Aomine to smirk, for he had taken it as an invite to insult his favourite enemy.

"Yeah, BAKAgami. Actually, I'm okay if you choked yourself; I wouldn't need to kill you."

"Fight me, AHOmine." He growled after swallowing his burgers. Nobody else seemed to mind these two arguing, and you started to believe that this was a normal occurrence.

"Can we go now?? Or at least go to a bigger table?" Kise's whining was caused by the fact that he was squished between Midorima and Murasakibara. The model had been squirming for a hit now, and Midorima was showing his contempt towards the blond through a glare.

"Actually, I agree. I want to be able to feel my ribcage, once in a while." The green-haired Miracle shoved Kise out before standing up gracefully. He was soon followed by Akashi.

Kagami sighed as he saw Aomine move to get involved with the soon-to-be fight. He turned to you. "So, where are you going to be studying? Or at least staying?"

"Taiga! I'm actually going to your school! My mom probably found out from your dad about where you were going to be..."

"That's pretty cool. But how did you find out?"

"When I met Kuroko, I learned where he goes to school, but also mentioned you. There aren't too many Kagami's in the world."

"...how did you meet the assholes?"

"I think you should be careful," you warned. You shuddered at your next thought, and looked ahead. Kise was now being lifted by Murasakibara, who was trying to stop Aomine from groping (?) Kise. Midorima was squeaking about his lucky item, while Akashi seemed to be enjoying himself. Kuroko was somehow balanced precariously on Kise.

What an odd group of friends.

Kagami cleared his threat, expecting an answer. You'd been staring off into space, and he had been trying to get your attention for a while now.

"Ah! Yeah, as I was saying, I met Akashi first. You may wanna watch what you say."

"Ugh," Kagami shivered as he saw Akashi look over in his direction. The shorter man seemed to realize he was being spoken about. "Thanks for the war-"

"OI! YOU CAN'T HOG (F/N)!!"

"What the hell?" Was the only thing that could be heard in the now silent restaurant.

"Oooo, he is so screwed now," Kise dumbly said.
