Atsushi Murasakibara Childhood Friend

Chapter 5

Ayame POV

"You've been slumping for long enough. Let's go!" I look away and just curl up with my pillow. Today's my birthday but honestly I feel like shit and the last thing I want is to do something.. today we would've been together 3 years..

"Leave me alone Kuroo." I mumble just for my blanket to be taken away from me.

"Get up and dressed, you have 10 minutes. If I come back and you're still not dressed I'll do it myself, even that huge friend of yours is worried so stop drowning on your own self pity and get up. It's been two weeks and today no matter what you say or how you feel it's a special day. So get dressed." His voice was more serious than normal as he pulled me out of bed and dragged me to the closet closing the door probably holding it for me not to go back to bed making me sigh. I walk to the cloth hanging when my eyes land on a dark blue hoodie making my eyes water and I quickly skip over it settling for a tank top and leggings with boots.

"Are you done?" I hear Kuroo ask and I sigh opening the door without saying a word and he nodded taking my hand.

"Kuroo I really don't wanna go out." I mumble as he dragged me just for him to put my over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"Kuroo!" I yell trying to get him to let me go but it didn't work as he walks out the door with me on his shoulder.

"You're mean Kuroo." I say giving up and let him carry me wherever we're going.

"I heard you're not planing on keeping playing volleyball in high school." He says.

"I'm not, Kenma's only doing it because you don't leave him alone which is why I'm going to Yosen High with Atsu." I say telling the truth.

"I'm planing on becoming the basketball team manager." I say almost feeling like I was talking to his ass instead.. hey now that I have the right view he does have a nice ass.

"Really? You'd do an amazing job." He says and I hum smirking before pinching his ass to see if he'd let me down as a yelp was heard from him.

"Hey!" He yells making me laugh as he puts me down and looks at me smirking.. wait.. I'm laughing.

"I haven't seen you smile in a while, come on let's go to the game store and then get some ice cream." He says wrapping his hand around my shoulders and for once I let him.

"Fine." I say walking next to him towards the mall where they had the game store. We made small talk as we did. We made it to the game store and spend some time there talking about different games and those I've played explaining why they're different seeing as he saw some of them being the same. Finally we bought two new games and walked out to an ice cream shop. He got himself a small cone and I got a big one with chocolate pieces in it. I ate it happily as we walked to the exit but he was already done with his. I see a smirk slowly make his way to his lips causing me to shiver and make a run for it but..

"Too late!" Before I knew it he had somehow placed me on his shoulders but not like before.. I was sitting on his shoulders as his hands rest on my legs making sure I don't fall making me squeal.

"Kuroo! Put me down!" I say gripping his hair for dear life.. holly shit I was high up.. what about Atsu? Yeah I'd be too scared of hitting a tree branch with him being so damn tall.

"Ow! H-hey easy up there or you'll fall." He says making me stay still but still holding on to his rooster hair style.

"Good.. now let go of my hair and just enjoy the view of being tall for once." He says causing me to hit his head before a shiver went down my back.. it's cold out here and I forgot to bring a jacket.. still I continue to eating the last of my ice cream. I feel moving under me but we weren't walking and his hands weren't on my legs anymore.

"K-kuroo." Whine holding on to his hair again until one of his hands take hold of my legs and the other was holding his jacket.

"Here." He says making me blush.

"But you'll get cold." I say looking down at him as he looks up.

"I'll be fine." He says making me sigh but take the jacket putting it on.. it somehow soothes me when the sleeves are way too long for me.

"Thanks." I mumble with a blush seeing the smirk on his lips. I continue to play with his hair as he walks around.

"You know this isn't that bad." I say after some time playing with his hair.. what? He has surprisingly soft hair and no matter what I do his hair bounces back into place.

"See, today wasn't such a bad day." He says tilting his head to glance at me making me give him a little smile.. he went out of his way just for me to have a good birthday.

"Thank you Kuro." I say using my brother's nickname for him.

"No problem." He says before starting to walk again towards my house.. or his? Who cares he lives next door.

Third Person POV

Little did Ayame know Aomine had gone to the mall with Momoi that day with memories of the day he asked Ayame to be his girlfriend flowing to his mind again and again. She hadn't noticed that right when she was walking out with Kuroo by her side Aomine was outside waiting for Momoi to hurry up and come out.. but Kuroo did notice. This being the reason why he did what he did, Aomine was heart broken. 

Sure he told Ayame he wasn't feeling it anymore when he broke up with her but that's not true. He still loved her, loved her more than anything but he knew that his lack of motivation would only hurt her in the future.. and to avoid that he ended things now. He had explained this to Murasakibara when the giant confronted him at practice letting Akashi know why Ayame had been so out of it that morning.

Aomine watched as Kuroo continued to walk with Ayame on his shoulders as she played with his hair.. something she used to do with him when he slept on her lap.

"Fuck I miss her." He mumbles to himself as a tear escaped his eye.
