The One (Kuroko No Basket Fanfic)

Life With Him

SATURDAY

It was two weeks ago that I met Murasakibara Atsuhsi, and ever sense then we've been getting closer and closer as friends, with basketball being one of our ways to become closer. The fall finally became to set in and only one month away from the interhigh competition for all of the Japanese basketball clubs. My phone vibrated on my bedside table, I slowly wake up, my hair tangled and I pick up my phone. I answer it with a soft voice.

"Hello?"

"Domo Aria chan. How are you doing this Saturday morning?" Murasakibara's voice is sweet and happy.

"I'm still half asleep Mura chan. What do you want?" I say, I sound evil but my face is even more cruel, if only he could see it.

"Sorry I know you sleep in til 12 but himuro invited me to the movies, but he had to reschedule for another time, so I have an extra ticket, would you like to go?" It sounded like he was blushing, was he?

"What's the movie?" I say, sitting up on my bed, I stare at myself in the mirror, I look hideous.

"It's a horror film, do you like those?"

"Not particularly, but ill go if your there to hold me." I say and giggle. He slowly chuckles on the other end an I knew I got him to blush.

"Okay ill pick you up in an hour. See you then." The line clicks off and I set my phone down, I stand and go to my dresser.

"What am I going to do with you Aria." I facepalm my forehead and giggle pulling open my dresser for regular clothes and throwing anything and everything I have. "There's nothing here!" I yell and my father pokes his head into my room a moment later.

"Is everything alright aria?" He says coming in and sitting on my bed, looking at the pile of clean clothes on the floor.

"Murasakibara is taking me too the movies and I have nothing to wear." I look my father and he just stares at me. He puts his hand to his chin and the his eyes grow bright.

"I think I have something Aria. Come with me." He says and stands up motioning me to his room. I follow him and he opens his closet, sliding some of his suits to reveal clothing that belonged to my mother.

"You kept all these?" I say touch a soft lavender shirt that she worn the day before she passed, it still smelled of her scent; lemongrass and mint.

"I couldn't come to get rid of them. I miss your mother I truly do aria." He rummages through the closet and then pulls out a soft light crimson dress. "This was the first thing your mother wore on our first date." He said, he handed me the dress. "She would want you to wear it."

I hold the dress, and touch it with my tiny fingers, and I smile.

"Thank you dad...it's beautiful." He places his hands on my shoulders and then hugs me.

"Your growing up too fast for me Aria. Please don't leave this house until your 30." He says with a chuckle. I giggle at the sentence and wrap my arms around him, never wanting to lose my father.

"I won't daddy I promise." I say, finally letting go seconds later, and returning to my room to get ready.

An hour later, Murasakibara knocks on my door, and my father answers it.

"Oh Mr. Smith. Is Aria home? I was taking her out to the movies." He says, he wears his Yosen basketball hoodie and purple jeans, and black converse.

"Yes I know. Please come in." My father leads him into the living room, they sit down on the couch, my father turns to him. "Your a boy and I know what boys think of, but I'm trusting you with my daughter. Please keep her safe?"

"I promise you Mr. Smith I will keep Aria from harm." Mura Chan's voice is sweet and finally I descend from upstairs, wearing the crimson red dress, red converse, my hair curled down my back, pearl earrings and a pearl necklace which were my mothers. I stand by the door, looking at my father and Mura chan. They both stand, they both smile.

"You look beautiful my daughter." My father says hugging me one last time.

"Thank you daddy." I say. Murasakibara puts my long black tench coat on me and he opens the door.

"You two stay safe okay." My father says as we shut the door behind us.

We made it to the movie theater, the Saturday rush finally made it in, Mura chan already had our tickets so we were already in the movie room, no one else was in there, just us.

"Wow is this movie really that scary?" I ask as we sit at the top of the row.

"I heard it was too scary that someone had a heart attack during it." He tells me. "Are you okay?" I had my arms around myself, even though I had my tench coat on.

"Yeah it's just cold in here." I then feel a larger, warmer coat on me. Murasakibara had taken off his Yosen hoodie and put it around me.

"I don't want you to catch a cold." His voice was calm, happy, with a faint smile. Then finally the movie started, during the previews, I felt his arm wrap around me. I look up at him, blushing.

"Mura chan?" I say quietly like other people were in the movie theater with us.

"What is it?" He says never looking away from the previews.

"If I get too scared can I jump into your lap?" I say blushing at him. His face begins to turn red and slowly he moved his head to look at me.

"Y-yes." He finally says, putting his forehead to mine. And at first, I thought he was going to kiss me, but he moved away quickly after doing it, and I felt as I did something wrong.

The movie wasnt scary to Mura chan, but at the first jump scare, I jumped straight into his arms, I felt his body chuckle, but no laugh came out, I kept hiding my face in his neck. I felt his hand on my head when the movie finally ended. "It's over." He whispers, his hand was comforting, warm. I lift my head up, and look at him.

"I'm sorry I'm such a scaredy cat." I say with a soft laugh, his hand was still on my head. His eyes were full of passion and happiness.

"I don't care. Your something different Aria, someone who...is special to me." He says with his face turning red.

"You know red looks good on you." I say laughing. Mura chan looks at me, his eyes slowly closing.

"Can I...kiss you?" He says, his voice was low. My face, blushed red, I slowly close my eyes, not wanting to look weird.

"Yes..." I say after a few moments, and felt his lips on mine. It wasnt forced, it wasnt a harsh kiss, not the passionate kiss you find in the Notebook. But the kiss was kind, gentle and sweet. For a first kiss for me, I'm glad I had it with Murasakibara Atsushi.

Mura chan walked me home after we went for a little dinner at a fast food restaurant. It wasn't romantic but it was funny to see people stare up at a giant who is only a first year at Yosen highschool. We just satan talked and ate, and Mura chan ate tons of sweets like it was nothing. I wonder how he couldn't gain weight from that. But then I remembered basketball and that's why.

We made it to my doorstep and Murasakibara just stares at me as I unlock the door.

"Aria?" He said, his voice low and deep. I look up at him, he looked sad.

"Yes Mura chan?" Without any words, he leaned down, his hands touched my tiny cheeks and he lifted me onto his feet. I didn't know what was going to happen, but I wasn't afraid.

"Murasaki--" I say before my words were cut off by him.

"I want you to be mine...we don't have to tell people right away, and i know I've only known you for two weeks. But your special, and I know that we can make this real." He said, his warm hands still on my cheeks, I felt tears in my eyes, but they never fell onto my cheeks.

"Y-y-y....." My voice was quiet and soft "yes." And then finally, ever so gently, he kissed me once more before I went into my house. My lips the next morning, tasted like candy.
