Cross Over [ PoT - KnB ]

XV. Hidden quite well

"Y-Yu..." I sighed as I watch the usually bright and confident guy, greet me cautiously.

"Are you finally back?" I asked, he looked at me in confusion.

"Is My Sunny back?" I asked in clarification, realization  struck him.

"Yukicchi... We- I... I'm Sorry." he said as he looked down back his lap, everyone who knows him will probably think that the Kise Ryouta infront of me is an Impostor.

"I've lost sight of why I am playing Basketball, We... took your time, words and support for granted, I-I didn't even realized what's wrong until... until Iost to Kurokocchi." He said

"How does it feel then?" I asked, to which he looked up, His right hand clasped the material of the shirt on his chest area where his heart is, then gripped it tight, wrinkling at the force.

"It hurt. Like I wanted to go to the hospital and have it checked but I know it was all my Emotions." He said, as he reminisce the emotion that he had felt.

"I even cried, would you believe it? I didn't even know that until I've felt something wet on my cheeks." He scoffed.

"How was the game for you? How did you play during the game?" I asked again, He stared at me for a while as he slowly let go of his shirt.

"It hurt that We lost, but Captain said that we should take revenge." I nodded, as I took a sip off of Mango Shake that he had ordered for me.

"That's good, but what I was asking was your opinion." I said, he sighed.

"I... even if we lost, I surprisingly enjoyed it, I learnt some things, and I was happy that I got to play with Kurokocchi again even though we weren't in the same team, and I got to see you again too, you're eve talking to me now... I think... Me losing to Kurkocchi is a blessing in disguise for us to have this moment today." He said, then showed me a smile.

not his model smile, not his fan smile...
but his real genuine smile.

I playfully scoffed at him.

"You're still not my type though." I said, he suddenly laughed.

"Oh, I know, I'm neither that blue headed beast nor-"

"You're still not my type, but I gotta say, that you've looked better than the last time we saw each other." I said cutting him off, he seemed to get that I wanna change the topic so he let it pass.

"we've only saw each other a week ago." He said with his usual sweet smile.

"I know, isn't it a mystery how short people change?" I said, then I realized how badly i worded it.

"I mean--"

"No worries Yukicchi, I understand, I may have changed bac then, but that was for the worst, now I wanna believe that this change that Kurokocchi and Kagamicchi had brought, is for the best." he said. 

I smiled.

Yes, Sunny is back in the game.

"Though Yukicchi... apart from me and Kurokocchi, who else have you met from... Us?" He asked cautiously, I bit my lip at the remembrance.

"Midorima went to watch your game with Tetsu, hasn't he?" I asked, he nodded.

"So you really met him then-"

"Nope, I just saw him, and I'm guessing that he saw me too. Why? did he said anything?" I asked, he shook his head.

"Nah, He was muttering about seeing a familiar head that looks eerily like yours, but I think he didn't see your face though,only your head, or your back profile." I nodded.

"so if your asking of people whom I've met after you, it's not Midorima then." i said, he seemed surprise.

"You mean you met another Miracle?!" He asked, I nodded as I let out a sigh.

"Who?"

"That Aho." I said, he seemed to freeze at that, so I told him what happened.

"So It was purely coincidence? again?" He asked, I nodded.

"I didn't even have the guts to meet his eyes, though I can feel him waiting for ours to meet, I only looked at Momoi."I answered.

"And he didn't do anything?" Ryouta asked worriedly.

"He was about to walk to us, luckiy though I wasn't alone that time, but I think that alone have annoyed him more." I said.

"Why? Who was with you?" He asked in confusion and intrigue.

"A Childhood friend of mine." I answered vaguely.

"Wait, Kurokocchi told me that you weren't studying at Seirin, So you Studied to where your Childhood friend at rather than where one of us are?" He asked, though He asked it in curiosity, I can see a tinge of pain had passed through his golden orbs.

"Yes. I can't see you at your 'Kise Ryouta' State, same with the others." I said, he frowned then nodded in understanding.

"I understand, though Yukicchi... As you've told me before, you've met Kurokocchi while he was on a court with Kagamicchi,  then you ended up going to Kaijo to Check the Tennis Club only for it to be cancelled or whatsoever, and then there is Midorima who caught sight of you and vice-versa, then meeting both Ahomine and Momoi while walking.... you know it now, right? You're bound to meet us, whether you like it or not, Ready or not." He said, i bit my lip before going back to my mango shake.

silence prevailed.

"I know that already, the moment that I saw Tetsu on my way home, I already know that meeting everyone might be Inevitable and quite honestly, I was Hopeful too and afraid. Hopeful that There might be some Miracle that  you guys have snapped back, but it was all being overpowered by fear, knowing the fact that, You guys are already a bunch of Miracles yourselves, having a Miracle over a Miracle isn't just possible." I said, he sighed.

"You know now that they saw you, they'll come looking for you, right? and seeing you in your unifoimr makes it easier, especially with Momoi." He said.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And he wasn't wrong.
It only took them weeks to search for me, probably because of their preparation for the InterHigh, and also the change of clubs.

I forced myself to look away from the burning pair of blue eyes, as I look at the Staring Members of their Basketball club and the overly jolly Pink haired girl; Their Manager.

"Snap out of it, Yuki-san." I jumped at that, for it wasn't Ryoma who had spoken.

"B-Buchou..." I muttered in surprise as I look up at him, seeing that I'm quite shorter than him.

He Smiled, a tiny smile that you wouldn't realize was there if you haven't been in my place from the start, then i felt Ryoma's hands on my waist again.

"He's walking over with pinky." Ryoma murmured, which made us all look in front of us.

"You've hidden quite well, Yu." and that simple sentence had just brought shiver down my spine as he intently stare at my eyes.
