Chemistry {HanaKuro}

Chapter Eight

Kurokos p.o.v

When I woke up, it was to Makoto sitting up and reading a book., Kojiro cooking a late breakfast, Kazuya was back to watching movies, Hiroshi was still sleeping alongside Kentaro, and the tablet in my bag ringing. I got up and pulled it out of my bag before settling back onto the couch and answering the skype call.

"Kagami-Kun." I said, and he nodded.

"Kuroko."

"Can I ask why you are calling?"

"Hyuuga called me about your last two fights, hear me out. As he was telling me about the fights, I remembered something, why I became your best friend. It sucks that you have to have terrible taste in friends, but Kise and Aomine arent much better so I cant really complain

A teammate of mine told me that I was being stupid because if Kirisaki Daiichi really earned a chance with you, then it isnt my place to tell you to stop. So as an apology which doubles as my teammates pleasure, were coming to watch you in the inter-high. Our coach said that its okay, so I hope you dont mind. I wanted to call before we jump on a plane."

"I dont mind at all Kagami-Kun, I will await your visit."

"See ya then Kuroko." He said and hung up. Makoto started shaking, and I looked up at him. He was laughing, so I sat up next to him.

"That idiot ace of yours. Im glad hes giving is a chance, I just think its ill advised."

"Well I hope you dont plan on hurting me, Mako-Chan~" I said, and he practically forced me into his lap as he put his book down.

"Only in the worst way." He said directly in my ear and I shivered.

"Im cold." I said and pulled the blanket onto my shoulders.

"Anyways, Ive been thinking about what you said a couple nights ago. You said you were someone to be earned, what do I get if I do earn you?"

"Well, Ill regularly be at your house, you can no longer complain about me using your toothbrush, and youll have to put up with Nigou because he is my precious puppy. "

"Which reminds me, Hiroshi! Wake up asshole!" Makoto said and kicked him.

"What captain?" He asked, and Makoto threw my keys at him.

"Go and get Tetsuyas dog. "He said, and Hiroshi groaned but got up anyways, going through the front door a minute later. "Now no one to bother us."

"Kentaro- "

"Sleeps like the dead."

"Kazuya is right there, and Kojiro is in the kitchen."

"They wont care."

"Geez Hana-Chan, so crude. I dont want to hear Tet-Chan moaning." Hara said, and I smirked at Makoto.

"Ill swallow all his moan." Makoto retorted.

"I wont even be moaning, nothing is going to happen. We arent dating Makoto."

"We could be."

"We arent." I said and crossed my arms, he sighed.

"Fine, whatever. We will leave it at making out." He said and before I could answer, his lips were already on mine.

We stayed like that for a few minutes but broke apart when Kojiro brought in a plate of foodfor himself. Makoto sniggered as he sat down, and Kojiro looked at us.

"Its so peculiar. You bring the best out of Hanamiya, and he brings the worst out of you." He said, and I thought about that, he was right.

I spent the next two days with Kirisaki Daiichi as we nursed Makoto back to health. I still went to practices, but no one talked about what happened between Hyuuga and I. Kirisaki attended them, and just sat on one of the bleachers, playing with Nigou.

Then on the last day before the inter-high finals, which we were contestants in, a group of people barged in with Kagami leading them. I smiled at him and he returned it. We met with a fist bump before hugging and Kirisaki decided now was a good time to come down.

"Wow Taiga, what an interesting teammate you have. I hardly saw him." The American captain said, and we shook hands. Kagami provided translation, and Makoto thought it wise to pull me into his arms just then.

"Hello." he said in English, and I looked up at him. He knew I didnt speak English.

"Are you another one of Taigas old teammates?" The American asked and Makoto shook his head with an innocent smirk.

"No, Kagami doesnt like me at all. Tetsuya does though, so he keeps his temper."

"Im sorry, I was told it is disrespectful to call someone by their given name here unless your close."

"Tetsuya and I are dating." He said and by the expression that Kagami had, Makoto said something bad. He started cursing in English, but it bled into Japanese. I cocked my head at him, and Kazuya whispered in my ear what Makoto said.

My eyes widened, and I detached myself from him.

"Makoto, you only said that to get Kagami-Kun worked up didnt you. "

"You always were a smart one."

"We are not dating." I told Kagami, but he didnt believe me.

"So," Makoto went back to speaking in English, and soon Kagami was nearly bursting.

"Yes, Tetsuya and I had a very passionate-" I didnt know what he was saying, but he didnt finish before I pulled his feet out from under him.

"I apologize for him, hes possessive even though we have no such relationship yet." I said and Kagami translated it back to the Americans before he turned to me.

"Yet?!"

"Yes, I can see Makoto and I having a relationship in the future. Even his mother approves." I said and Kagami nearly fainted as Makoto got back up.

So as the Inter-High came to close, we came in second under Rakuzan, and secured our ticket to the winter cup and mid-terms came up.

So as usual when this time of year came around, I was studying excessively. Unusually, I was in the gym with Seirin while Kirisaki Daiichi helped out and studied themselves. I coaxed Makoto into this over a game of shogi that I happened to win.

So, I was confident now that everyone would pass their mock exams. If they didnt, coach and I agreed that the place they got was how many laps they were running. That was only if the scores were below average though. It was good inspiration.

Long story short, only two people were running, I was disappointed because there was a few that barely passed by the skin of their teeth. Hyuuga had refused help, and barely made it in his worst subjects. Well, at least he wasnt failing or complaining about Kirisaki Daiichi being here.

So, based on the mock exams, I did have Akashi-Kun take a day off practice to come help those who refused Makoto. To be blunt, Makoto and Akashi got off the right foot, having a conversation about chemistry and good book recommendations before Akashi left, and Makoto came to my place with the others.

One day I looked around me and I realized that I couldnt be happier in the insufferable heat of summer, and warm bodies pressed against me in a dog pile on my bed.
