recently finished why r u and i
was upset by how little they showed these
two dumbasses (and how little people
even took note of them???) so i had to
write something for them lol

this is based on another draft which
i started a year ago for the kuroko no
basuke fandom. seeing as how i'll probably
never complete it i've recycled it. it
was supposed to be longer but i do be
lazy lol

hope you enjoy it!

He was all muscular legs and broad shoulders, stout body but enormous heart, and Tanthai couldn't help the way his lips would curl at the sight of Japan's fringe tied up or the way his eyes would arch into happy slits when he'd stretch his cheeks into a smile. He was utterly enamoured by the footballer who'd play with sheer determination to win, come off as tough or at least attempt to, and then have his facade utterly dissipate at the sight of a feline, dismissing anything that wouldn't involve petting or feeding said animal. Cats were seemingly his way of healing, of releasing some of the overabundance of love that he had festering in his chest, and yet that early Saturday afternoon, it was at the hands － paws? － of one that he ended up with a knee stained red and stinging, a palm not quite as damaged but similar.

Tanthai had sauntered over to the older that morning with a grin on his lips and a steadily increasing thud against his ribs, behind his back his clasped hands that instantly found their way around Japan's left arm once he'd neared the latter.

"P'J," he'd crooned, leaning forward as Japan bashfully dipped away, a blush dimly colouring his ears, "let's meet after practice today. I have a new ride I want to show you!"

Japan cocked a brow, feigning as though his eyes weren't constantly flickering to the taller male's lips, and then remained still, deciding against shrugging him off.

"A new ride? Can you even drive?"

He'd briefly felt dumb for asking such a thing when Tanthai let out a sound akin to a snort, his nose scrunching as he shook his head from left-to right, bangs flopping as he did so.

"Mm, I can't drive a car, P'! I'm talking about a bike," He paused, smiled, "We can go around on it for a bit, too, if you want."

"Oh," Japan nodded, head minimally turning away as Tanthai shamelessly set his chin upon his shoulder and gazed up at him with adoring eyes, unknowingly setting the skin beneath his jaw aflame with a heat that scorched Japan's every vein, "A-Alright, I guess," He eventually forced out after swallowing down an odd sense of excitement, "I don't know how to ride one though."
