5 Stages of Change (A Kuroko no Basket Fanfic)

[Kuroko Tetsuya] Reunion

December 31, xxxx; (After the Winter Cup)

Kuroko smiled as he looked at everyone  of the Generation of Miracles. It has been awhile since they played such a nice and fun game without the pressure of winning for the team.

"Oi Akashi, why are you making us stay longer?" Aomine asked yawning, they were suppose to be heading to Kagami's place but the red head asked them to stay for awhile.

"Be patient Aomine," Akashi smiled with a knowing smile when his phone beeped and he looked at the message "We can go now,"

"What was that about, nanodayo?" Midorima tsked as he pushed his glasses up.

"You'll see soon Midorima. Now let's go, it's impolite to make them wait for so long," Akashi hummed.

The others just looked at each other with confusion but followed the red head and headed for Kagami's apartment for Kuroko also invited them after playing basketball.

Everyone was surprise when the Generation of Miracles came with Kuroko with the exception of Kagami. The tall red head scratch the back of his neck as Akashi gave him a look that say 'You should have done your part well or else'. He was both annoyed and confused on the former Teiko captain's request but since it will make Kuroko happy according to Akashi, he complied.

"Kagami-kun, you have been quiet. Which is out of character for you," Kuroko popped in beside him.

"G-GAH! What the hell Kuroko!? I told you not to do that!"

"I apologize, but do not ignore the question Kagami-kun," the blank expression on the birthday boy's face made the Seirin Ace doubt Akashi's plan but everything is done so there's no turning back.

"A-ah, I ordered pizza since I thought the food won't be enough. You know since Murasakibara and Ahomine is here too," Kagami scratch the back of his head.

Whether Kuroko bought it or not, there was no indication. And Aomine started another round of argument with Kagami after hearing him calling him 'Ahomine'.

Around 20 minutes later, the doorbell rang and Kise was about to get it but Akashi gave him a pointed look making him sit down "Kuroko, you should get that seeing Kagami is busy arguing with Aomine,"

Kuroko blinked but stood up anyways and went to open the door as he sipped his drink and when he opened the door his eyes widened as the cup of his drink slipped his hand earning the attention of everyone.

"Oi, Tetsu are you okay?" Aomine asked but the teal-haired male was unresponsive.

Hyuga was the first to approach him and tried snapping him out of it. Then Kiyoshi, but to no avail. And they were confused why he was frozen staring at the person at the door.

Curiosity came to the others and the Generation of Miracles plus Momoi and minus Akashi went first and also stopped seeing who was at the door.

"(Last Name)cchi?!?"

"Ah Kuro-chin's girlfriend,"

"Ah Yo (First Name),"

"(Last Name), nanodayo? Wait Murasakibara, what do you mean girlfriend nodayo?"

"Haaa? Aren't they together back at Teiko?"

"(First name)-chaaaan!" Momoi glomped your flustered form as all eyes were on you.

You who was in a teal-colored shirt, pants and shoes. But what was out of the ordinary was the vanilla flavored cake in your hands that said 'Happy Birthday Kuroko Tetsuya-kun ❤️' and the grayish white (Like Nigou's color) dog ears on your head that Akashi made you wear.

But to Kuroko, what made him froze was your eyes. They were looking at him shyly with recognition.

You recognize him. You remember him.

"Happy Birthday Kuroko-kun," you smiled, after gathering your courage.

And for the first time for everyone, they saw Kuroko at his happiest. His usually blank face adorn with a heartwarming smile as his eyes slowly turned glassy with happy tears.

Hello everyone :),

Sorry for the delay, I was really contemplating on this chapter for awhile. I wanted to at least be close on getting Kuroko's character.

And I came to the conclusion of this. I find Kuroko to be very kind and gentle and thus I thought a short but sweet chapter is needed here after the two recent chapter of angst 😂😂.

I hope you guys like it!

Tell me what you think, was it good or bad or in the middle?  😂😂

Thank your for reading and supporting this book! :)
