Chapter Text
There was no words to describe the joy of winning the Winter Cup with the support and spirit of your teammates on your back. The feel of the crowd cheering, the sound of sneakers squeaking against the shiny court, the sound of the final buzzer. Though it had happened at least a year or so ago, he could still feel the immense pride and joy he felt as his team and himself lifted up the large trophy that signified their win.
He thought back to the events that had passed since the epic win against Akashi and Rakuzan. Tatsuya and himself made up, which Alex took great joy in teasing them about. He gave Kuroko a total of 500 yen for the bet on both Midorima dating Takao and Murasakibara dating Tatsuya. Coach came clean that she couldn’t choose between Hyuga and Teppei, so she chose both. Akashi surprised everyone by asking out Furihata, apparently the little chihuahua had made quite the impression on the regal lion. No one was surprised when Kise blurted out that he and Kasamatsu were dating. He still remembered the look on Kise’s face when he realized that no one was surprised. It was pure gold.
Another big change in his life was his relationships with both Kuroko and Aomine. What started off as a platonic shadow and light partnership changed into a very much non platonic relationship. With Aomine, their rivalry changed to a close friendship that became a polyamorous relationship between himself, Kuroko and Aomine. If Kagami had anything to say about then he would say that he couldn’t be happier. Even if Aomine was a lazy pervert who pissed him off most days, after all basketball was a great outlet for frustration and restless energy.
A pale hand landed on his hand. “Go to sleep Taiga-kun. Stop thinking about basketball, I can hear you from over here." He looked over at the light blue haired boy lying next to him on his large bed. He had his eyes closed and appeared to be sleeping but Kagami knew better, after all they had been sleeping at his apartment most nights.
An annoyed groan made him glance over at the tall, younger boy wrapped around the older blue haired boy. "Would you shut up Bakagami. You're too loud." Kagami glared at the dark blue haired boy. How he could sleep so soundly confused him and pissed him off immensely. Kagami watched as the light blue haired boy reached behind him and smacked the larger boy on the ear.
"What the hell Tetsu?!" complained the now awake bluenette as he jolted into a sitting position. The boy now identified as Tetsu just moved over to the still lying down Kagami and curled into his side. The dark bluenette blanched and fell back onto the bed. "This all your fault Bakagami." Kagami laughed at the expression on his face and gestured for him to come closer.
"Come on Daiki. Let's just go to sleep, we don't want Tetsuya to get mad." He said in an amused voice. Aomine grunted and curled around Kuroko, wrapping an arm over Kuroko, quickly going to a deep sleep.
If you had told Kagami that he would end up dating Aomine Daiki and Kuroko Tetsuya he would have punched you, but here he is; lying under his covers with Aomine and Kuroko curled up together against him, fast asleep. As he had said before, much had changed since they had won the Winter Cup. Many of the Miracles and their partners started dating, Coach decided to date both Hyuuga and Kiyoshi, he finally realized that Mitobe and Koganei were dating, Furihata turned out to be the most courageous out of them all, and everyone seemed to be much stronger. He could jump higher than ever and Kuroko could make an actual basket, which if he was being honest was pretty good, despite the fact that he still missed 50 percent of the time and it wasn’t his Phantom Shot.
With the thought of playing and beating Aomine in a one-on-one game on his mine, Kagami Taiga fell asleep with his arms around his blue haired lovers.
Most mornings in Kagami’s apartment when Aomine and Kuroko slept over were in a way, like a reality show. Entertaining and humorous. Kagami woke up to both his blanket and comforter on the foot of his bed with his boyfriends clinging to him like leeches. The navy haired miracle was currently tucked into his left side with his long tanned arms wrapped around him like an annoying lazy egotistical perverted blue haired idiotic monkey. Faint snores coming from him at random intervals. Kagami snorted in amusement and glanced down to his right and met the sleepy light blue eyes of his partner on and off the court. A small smirk came to his face, Kuroko’s legendary bed head was atop his head. “Good morning Tetsuya. He just received the usual blank look but Tetsuya’s eyes gave him away. They gave off a faint sparkle.
“Good morning Taiga-kun. Is Daiki-kun up yet?” Kagami moved his attention to his left shoulder and smirked when he looked at the “snoring” teen.
“Yeah, the aho’s awake.” a low growl came from the tall teen.
“Good morning Daiki-kun.”
The navy haired teen leaned over Kagami’s bare chest and flopped down, earning an annoyed omph from him because having 187 pounds of pure muscle flop onto your chest was not fun. “Mornin’ Tetsu.” His voice rough from sleep. A peaceful silence filled the room. Well until the figure at the end of the bed decided to make his presence known.
“OH GOD!”
“Nigou.”
“TETSUYA WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN FEEDING HIM?!”
The black and white husky/malamute mix just rolled over onto his back with a tail wag and watched with a happy grin and his tongue out as he watched his three human pets raced over to the windows to open them while tripping over their sleep heavy legs and each other. It seemed as though he was the only one to remember what day it was.
Of course Aomine just happened to glance at the alarm clock on his usual side of the bed. It was 8:30. “Oh shit! Yo Bakagami, Tetsu, we’re gonna be late!” This sent the trio into a flurry of movement.
Kagami raced into the bathroom to take a quick shower ALONE. Because let's be honest, if either of the others joined him they’d be even more late. Having two male teenagers who loved to wrap themselves around you in their sleep, who was 192 cm and 187 pounds and one who was 168 cm and 126 pounds, you tended to get pretty sweaty.
Kuroko went through his normal routine of getting dressed then fixing them all a quick breakfast and feeding Nigou, while Aomine rushed through his routine of setting out Kagami’s clothes then rushing into the shower after Kagami who left out clothes for Aomine. They were like a well oiled machine.
In record time they were all out of the apartment and on the train to Coach’s father’s gym, but of course they had to stop at Maji Burger.
“Where are they?!” growled the brown haired demon coach while everyone else, not those of Seirin of course because they were all used to it by now, questioned the sanity of both the coach and her team and how her team dealt with her.
“Mou, Riko. They’ll get here soon. Kuroko probably wanted a vanilla milkshake.” came a calm response from the tall brown haired teen as he leaned back against a shorter scowling dark brown haired teen with clear glasses. Her dark look turned to him, making him pale and raise his hands in surrender. No one wanted that look fixed on him.
As if to prove him innocent, the double doors sprang open the late trio plus their four legged whoopie cushion walked in. “Yo! Sorry we’re late. This who wanted Maji and Tetsuya wanted a milkshake. Kagami as usual, said the wrong thing.
Nigou sensing the danger, trotted over to sit at the feet of a blonde haired woman with red glasses.
The trio froze as they took into looks of pity and humor from their teammates and friends. “FINALLY! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG WE HAVE BEEN WAITING?!” They could say nothing. “WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELVES?!” All three stayed frozen in fear. Aida Riko was Demon Coach. She could rival Akashi when he was using Emperor’s Eye combined with his vast talents in intimidation.
Kuroko and Kagami managed to break free of the fear and immediately did the only thing that they could do under the pressure. Throw Aomine under the bus.
“It was Aomine! Blame him! The aho wanted food!”
“Aomine-kun is a pig, I wanted a vanilla shake and Kagami was weak.” This got him a look of disbelief from both Aomine and Kagami. Pig? Weak?
“Oi, Tetsu!”
“Kuroko!”
The onlookers could only try and fail to hide their laughter. Aomine couldn’t believe what they were saying. Sure some of it was true but he couldn't believe that they were giving him up to the beast! What loving boyfriends! "Oi, Bakagami, Tetsu! What the hell?!" He looked at them with disbelief. They just gave false apologetic smiles and walked over to their team. Wow, he could feel the love.
"So why have you called us here Coach?" asked Kagami as he wrapped an arm around Kuroko's waist as he sat in his lap sipping his vanilla shake. Kuroko leaned back and rested his head in the crook of Kagami's neck. Kagami was a little confused to why most of the starters of all the teams were here.
She smiled at Kagami, "Why thank you Kagami for asking." Kagami nodded, still confused. "Akashi and I called you here because we found an anime of sorts." He sweat dropped. They were called here for anime? An anime? "Now it probably doesn't make sense but this anime was called Kuroko no Basket." This got everyone's attention. Kuroko no Basket?
"Is it about Kuro-chin?" said a tall purple haired teen as he munched on some sort of snack that the black haired teen sitting in his lap was holding. Riko nodded and picked up a thick case from her bag next to her. She opened it and took out a round disc, inserting it into the dvd player.
"The summary basically said that it was about a high school basketball team trying to make it to the Inter High and Winter cup and it focuses on a group of high school players; Kagami Taiga, Kuroko Tetsuya and a group called Kiseki no Sedai. We were going to watch it just Akashi and myself but, Akashi had the idea of getting everyone we thought should watch it together here." Everyone gaped at her. They were called here to watch an anime. An anime about Kuroko, Kagami and the Generation of Miracles. What the hell?
"Are you serious Coach?" said the dark brown haired teen with glasses and being leaned on by the tall brown haired teen from before. She turned to him and nodded once.
"Hai. We thought that it would be good for everyone to see our past games to learn how to become more skilled in your games." she said as a matter of fact to the teen. He thought for a moment then nodded, agreeing with her.
"Shall I start then?" questioned Riko when no one else asked a question. She looked at the many groups of people around her, but then spotted the blond haired woman who served as Kagami and Tatsuya's trainer in America. "Oh Alex, do you have a question?" Everyone turned to the blond woman.
"Hai. I'm sorry, I don't know the names of most everyone here. I recognize a few but not a lot." she said leaning back on her hands. Riko nodded then motioned for everyone to introduce themselves. Her boys went first.
"Kiyoshi Teppei." said the tall brown haired boy who Riko was currently sitting on as he leaned against, "Hyuga Junpei." he continued as he motioned to the boy sitting next to him with black hair and glasses. "Izuki Shun." motioned to another black haired boy with sharp grey eyes who was writing in a little journal. "Mitobe Rinnosuke and Koganei Shinji." he nodded towards a tall black haired boy with his arm around a brown haired boy with a mouth like a cat. "Furihata Koki." Kiyoshi gestured to the sandy brown haired boy sitting next to Akashi. Alex nodded and looked towards the group with the Shutoku uniform.
"I'm the coach, Nakatani Masaaki. My team's captain is Otsubo Taisuke." said a black haired man wearing a formal white shirt and black tie as he gestured to a tall teen with black hair sticking straight up. "The vice-captain is Kimura Shinsuke." a tall teen with chiseled features raised his hand. "Miyaji Kiyoshi." The tall blond next to Kimura nodded when his name was called. "You already know Midorima Shintarou." Alex nodded in greeting to the glasses wearing green haired shooter. He nodded back, pushing his glasses up his nose with taped fingers. "Next to him is Takao Kazunari." The black haired boy next to him grinned when he name was called and waved.
Next to introduce their team was a thick, middle-aged man, "My name is Takeuchi Genta. Kaijo's captain is Kasamatsu Yukio and the vice captain is Kobori Koji." The black haired boy next to the blond copy cat nodded while the spiky black haired teen on the other side of the blond model waved. "Then we have Hayakawa Mitsuhiro, Nakamura Shinya, and Moriyama Yoshitaka." When their names were called, each player nodded or waved.
Time went by and Alex was introduced to Too's coach Harasawa Katsunori who introduced Imayoshi Shoichi, Susa Yoshinori, Sakurai Ryo, Wakamatsu Kosuke, and Momoi Satsuki, she was re-introduced to Yozen's Murasakibara Atsushi and her other protege Himuro Tetsuya. Rakuzan's coach Shirogane Eiji and his team Mayuzumi Chihiro, Akashi Seijuro, Mibuchi Reo, Hayama Kotaro, and Nebuya Eikichi. Each player, coach and manager greeted her in their own unique way.
"Can we watch now?" spoke up Kuroko since he first arrived. Riko started, once again forgetting that Kuroko was here. She nodded and walked over to the dvd player, pressing play on Episode 1: I am Kuroko.
