To Love What We Broke

Chapter 5: Mad Libs

Another happy little chapter. Don't worry. This story won't stay happy forever.

After lunch, they all returned to Kuroko's room with an added Kagami to their ranks.

"Yo." Kagami greeted Kuroko who only smiled in return. They all took a seat with Akashi settling on the bed next to Kuroko.

"We should play a game!" Kise suggested.

"Like what?" Kagami asked. Kise pulled out a book and held it up for everyone to see.

"Mad libs?" Aomine read the cover. Kise nodded eagerly.

"It's simple! But only if Kurokocchi wants too!" Kise added.

Kuroko smiled and said he didn't mind so everyone got in a circle.

"Okay. Aominicchi! Noun!" Kise turned to Aomine beside him excitedly.

"Uh.....basketball."

"Next is Midorimacchi. adjective."

"Lucky."

"Uh okay. Kagamicchi! A verb."

"Um...run?"

"Akashicchi, adverb!"

"Brutally."

"Uhhh...okay. Kurokocchi! noun."

"Please be a bit quieter Kise-kun. I pick book."

"Sorry." Kise grinned. "Murasakicchi. Adjective."

"Yummy."

"Back to Aominicchi!"

"Kise, Tetsu told you to quiet down!"

"Sorry......" He changed to a whisper. "Aominicchi give a plural noun."

"How about boobs." Aomine growled.

"Hmph. Midorimicchi, plural noun."

"CD's."

"um. Okay. Kagamicchi's turn. Plural noun."

"Again? Ummm...ducks."

"Akashicchi. Body Part."

"Arm."

"Kurokocchi. Noun."

"Pillow."

"Murasakicchi gets a noun."

"Snacks."

"Hehe. Aominicchi. Give us a noun."

"We still aren't done yet? Fine. Uh... magazine?"

"Fine. Midorimacchi! Another noun please."

"Court."

"Okay. Last one! Kagamicchi, give us a body part!"

"Foot."

"That it?" Aomine asked.

"Yeps! Okay here I go." Kise announced.

"I'm afraid." Murasakibara admitted.

"Ye can always pretend to be a bloodthirsty basketball threatening everyone by waving yer lucky sword in the air, but until ye learn to run like a pirate, ye'll never be brutally accepted as an authentic book. So here's what ye do: Cleverly work into yer daily conversations yummy pirate phrases such as "Ahoy there, boobs." "Avast ye CD'S." and "Shiver me ducks." Remember to drop all yer g's when ye say words such as sailin', spittin', and fightin'. This will give ye an arm start to being recognized as a swashbuckling pillow. Once ye have the lingo down pat, it helps to wear a three-cornered snacks on yer head, stash a magazine in yer pants, and keep a court perched atop yer foot. Aye, now ye be a real pirate!" Kise finished and finally let go of the giggle he was holding back. Murasakibara and Midorima looked unamused and Akashi only raised an eyebrow with the slightest amused grin. Kuroko joined Kise in gigging while Aomine and Kagami burst out into a full laugh.
