Notice Me, Kouhai (Kuroko no Basuke Fanfiction)

Chapter 01: It's A War

I was never a perfect girl. Never a perfect daughter, a perfect friend, or a girlfriend, or a citizen of the country.

I had flaws. Too many to mention, as a matter of fact.

However, despite my imperfections, I had people who loved me for me. People who were already a huge part of my life. And without them, I wouldn't be who I was.

Among these people was my big brother slash senpai, Imayoshi Shouichi. The third year captain and point guard of Touo Academy Basketball Team.

Well, the super smart senpai of everybody.

I loved him. Really.

As a friend and as a big brother. No more, no less.

"Ugh." I groaned miserably, burying my face in the softness of my pillow. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to cry but, somehow, I couldn't. "Why is this happening to me?"

Imayoshi-senpai's words never left my not-so-brilliant brain even for a single second. Until I got home, all I could hear was his voice telling me that he loved me.

Senpai loves me.

I blinked twice, groaning miserably once again. I had to forget about it. I had to. I shouldn't even be thinking about him considering how he betrayed our friendship, how he violated my human rights when he pinned me against the wall and how he... How he...

How he kissed me without my permission.

I swallowed thickly, suddenly remembering how his lips claimed mine in a kiss that even my boyfriend had never once given me.

Oh god.

"He's crazy," I murmured, pinching my lower lip as I felt my cheeks slowly heating up upon the memory.

What should I do?

Then as if my question was answered by the heavens above, my phone rang. I sprung up then reached for it above the bedside drawer. I composed myself, reading the caller ID.

Ryo.

Suddenly, my heart sank down to the deepest part of my chest.

Because. Of. Guilt.

Should I tell him what happened? That his girlfriend was kissed by his captain? How would he deal with it? Then how would I ever tell him that Imayoshi-senpai confessed to me?

Oh. My. Freaking. Hell.

I couldn't do that. I wouldn't dare destroy Ryo's respect for Imayoshi-senpai.

No, I would never.

Heaving a deep sigh, I tried clearing up my mind. I had to focus on Ryo. I had to focus on my boyfriend. So I answered the call and immediately acted like my normal self whenever we'd talk on the phone.

"Hello, Ryo."

"Sumimasen, Aya-chan. Did I disturb you? Sumimasen."

I chuckled at that, imagining him bowing a million times in front of me like what he would always do to everybody. And, sadly, I was no exception. "It's okay, Ryo. Why did you call?"

"I was worried. Did Imayoshi-san scold you earlier? Sumimasen. Maybe I should not talk to you at school anymore. Sumimasen."

Completely shocked because of what he just said, I frantically shook my head as if he could actually see me. "W-Wha— No! No, Ryo. It's okay. Senpai-nii didn't scold me. He just..." I trailed off deliberately, not knowing what to say. But I had already made up my mind, I wouldn't tell him the truth. "We talked about something with regards to my poor grades."
