"Why the hell are you here?"

Kagami was on the verge of snapping, his teeth clenched and the hand that was grasping his chopstick was trembling in rage. He couldn't believe the situation he was in, nor he was believing who was around him and his two friends either.

Akashi smiled sweetly at him, but the coldness in it was chilling. "I just wanted to have lunch here, I believe it is a free country," he commented, taking a bite of his lunch like nothing was wrong. Kagami wasn't of the same opinion. He, Momoi and Haizaki had just arrived at their lunch spot and were getting ready for eating like starved animals, but just before Kagami could open his lunch box, he felt some presences behind him and turned around, thinking that maybe there were bullies who wanted to take revenge on Haizaki (it happened before), but nothing could have prepared him for the nearly heart-attack he experienced when he saw who it really was. Akashi Seijuurou wore a polite – fake – smile on his face and a bento wrapped in his hands stood in front of them, trailing behind him a Midorima with a troubled face, a Kise who was too smiling for his liking and a Kuroko who had the usual expressionless face. Nobody spoke for a few seconds because Haizaki blurred out a "Fuck no", but it was already too late, the four rainbow heads had already sat down on the grass in front of them. Haizaki was obviously pissed and was standing up when Akashi's cold voice stopped him. "Haizaki, it's not polite to leave in the middle of lunch," the grey haired teen was forced to sit down again by some unseen force, and also because Kagami had grabbed him and forced him down. He wasn't going to endure that torture alone, no way in hell. Momoi on the other hand seemed to want to jump in happiness, since she already skipped towards Kuroko and hugged him to death. Poor guy, it wasn't his fault if the girl had an obsession with him.

And that was how they ended up in an uncomfortable atmosphere, glancing at each other with nothing to say. It seemed that Haizaki had enough of that because he looked directly to Akashi with raised eyebrows and growled at him, "this is part of your plan? Are you planning to stalk Kagami to death? Not creepy at all."

Akashi seemed emphasized by that burst of anger, but the narrow of his eyes showed that he was slightly annoyed by that comment. ""Stalking" is such a bad word, Haizaki, I said that I was going to change his mind, didn't I?" Kise snickered at the grey haired teen and smirked to him. "Maybe Shougo-kun is starting to be deaf."

"You fucking-" Haizaki was starting to stand up again to probably choke Kise to death when Kagami grabbed him by the collar of his uniform and made him sat again with an annoyed expression, both for the childish behaviour that Kise was showing and Akashi's comments. "What the hell?! I already told you "no"!"

Akashi shifted his gaze towards him with an amused expression painted on his face. "I've never accepted your "no"." Kagami gaped, but he quickly glared at him with all his strength. "You're a stubborn little shi-" Before he could finish the sentence, Haizaki's hand covered his mouth in less than a second. It wasn't a good idea to make Akashi angry, it really wasn't, no matter how a person was angry at him, nobody should make that mighty midget mad.

"Kagamicchi is so amusing!" Kise beamed, smiling to the redhead, completely ignoring the glare that Haizaki was sending at him. "You're so funny!" Kagami felt his cheeks burn, he couldn't help it. The praises were getting to him, even if he knew that he shouldn't as flattered as he was feeling in that moment. It was nice, though, having someone say those things to him.

"S-Shut up, idiot!" Kagami mumbled, ignoring the "Kagamicchi is so mean!" that Kise moaned with a fake tone after hearing his words.

The redhead felt eyes on him and turned to look at Haizaki, who had a hopeless expression. "What?" Kagami asked not understanding that stare. Haizaki in response slapped a hand against his face and lowered his head. "Ah... I knew your ass wasn't safe..." The redhead's face burnt in embarrassment not because Haizaki's joke (he already knew the other's dirty humour), he just couldn't help but want a hole to form under him to swallow him up because all the attention of the four other individuals was directed at him. Thankfully, he wasn't the only one to have a strange reaction. Midorima was drinking in that moment and spluttered all his red bean soup on Kise's flawless face. "M-Midorimacchi! My face! This is so gross!" Kise cried in desperation, taking Kuroko's tissue which was landed to him by the shadow who was still trapped in Momoi's crushing hug.

"Thanks Kurokocchi, you're the only one who understand me!" And the blond cried again, blowing his nose in the tissue after he finished to clean his face from that horrible soup. Needless to say, Haizaki burst up laughing, holding his stomach which had begun to hurt because the situation was too hilarious. And he loved to see the "perfect" model be bullied by the other member of the Generation of Miracles – even if it was unconsciously.

Midorima ignored Kise's stupid act and glared at Haizaki, his cheeks as red as Akashi's hair. "What nonsense are you spluttering, f-fool?" He tried to sound strong, but the little tremble at the end betrayed him, which resulted with an Haizaki who looked like the Cheshire Cat. "Awww, I hurt your sensibility, I'm so sorry." The grin haired teen smiled, sounding totally fake even to Kagami's obliviousness. The redhead slapped Haizaki behind the head, because damn, they were talking about his ass and that was really embarrassing! "Stop it, idiot!" He growled like a tiger cub, making Momoi squeal because "Kagamin is just too cute, my heart can't take it!".

Kuroko somehow managed to free himself from Momoi's arms and sat down beside Kagami, his eyes observing each of his movements. "Shouldn't we start eating? It's already half of lunch-beak." His comment was heard out of nowhere, which made everyone present – except Akashi – jump in fright. Kagami, who was the one closer to the shadow, glared at him, even if his eyes didn't really show any anger. In his mind, it was such a nostalgic scene. "Dammit, Kuroko! Warn me next time! Jesus Christ, you nearly gave me an heart-attack!" He muttered, ruffling Kuroko's hair with a bit of strength, making them messy and the shadow looked more like Nigou rather than him. Kagami cringed at that thought. No, he really didn't want to remember the damn dog, it wasn't even there now.

"It's always like that with Kuroko," Haizaki muttered, patting the redhead's shoulder and the other had to force himself to shout his mouth to say something stupid like "I know, you idiot, I've known him since first year!". Yeah, that would have been something really idiotic.

Then it began another awkward silence where even Kise's endless talking wasn't making any effect. Haizaki looked at the people around him with an annoyed gaze, wanting nothing else than go away from there, but he knew that Kagami was going to destroy him if he escaped, probably he wouldn't cook any food for him anymore and that would be too tragic for the grey haired teen to bear. Seriously, Haizaki didn't know of what Kagami's hands were made of, but they were magical, they could make things too good for this world. Talking about food, those jerks of the Generation of Miracles came when he (and Momoi and Kagami) were getting ready to eat. That was unacceptable, it was a great sin! Haizaki shifted his hard gaze towards Kagami, "I'm hungry, Kagami, give me food!" He complained, putting his head on the redhead's shoulder moving it up and down like a cat that seeks attention. Kagami looked at him confused for a moment before petting his head awkwardly, running his finger between the grey locks. "Alright, alright, wait a moment," he whispered to Haizaki who just hummed approving, enjoying the magic that Kagami's fingers were making. Seriously, that guy wasn't only skilled in cooking, but also in massages. He was an amazing wife material, sadly he was too pure for Haizaki's likings, what a pity.

Meanwhile the members of the Generation of Miracles (minus Akashi because he knew how to control himself) had they jaws dropped, not believing that that same "affectionate cat" was the Haizaki they knew. He seemed... normal. Not violent or trying to pick a fight with them, they were seeing a teenager boy that was enjoying his life. However what really shocked them was that the two boys in front of them were behaving like they were a couple and they knew very well that Haizaki liked girls. Was that a result of Kagami's powers...? What else the redhead could do? Momoi, on the other hand, wasn't having those problems, too busy to photograph every single moment of that precious scene in front of her. Haizaki and Kagami were just too cute for their own good, no matter how much the grey haired teen denied it, he could be as adorable as the redhead when he wanted.

Kagami was clueless as ever when he opened his lunch box and showed it to the Generation of Miracles, who had been blinded for a moment because of the sparkling of the food that was inside. Everything was put in place with care and it seemed so delicious that would have put a chef on shame.

"Woah!" Kise was the first to comment and he lightly touched his chin to see if he wasn't drooling because, holy shit, that food smelled amazing! "Kagamicchi, who made that? It looks delicious!" He asked, his hand already in motion to grasp one of the pieces of meat, but Haizaki slapped him and gave him an angry glare. Like hell he was going to let the annoying blond taste Kagami's amazing cooking, he (okay, and Momoi) was the only one that could do it!

"Shougo-kun!" Kise whined, pouting at Haizaki's actions but the other just gave him a smug glance before bringing all his attention towards the delicious food and began to stuff his mouth with anything his chopsticks took, while the members of the Generation of Miracles looked at him with envy (minus Akashi, because he could at least manage to put a poker face, even if deep down he was annoyed by Haizaki's behaviour too and promised himself to get revenge).

Momoi at least had the decency to turn to Kuroko with a piece of meat between her chopsticks with a shy smile. "Do you want to try it, Tetsu-kun?" Even if the blue haired boy usually seemed expressionless, a flash of curiosity crossed his eyes and he nodded, crawling closer to the pink haired girl and accepted her offer to feed him, opening his mouth and let the piece of meet enter in it. Once it met his tongue, Kuroko froze in shock. Ignoring Momoi's happy squeaks of "I feed Tetsu-kun!", the attention of the rainbow heads was on the smaller boy.

"K-Kurokocchi... are you alright?" Kise asked but he received no response and the blond turned his eyes full of tears towards Kagami, who was ignoring all the common in front of him and was stuffing his mouth with his own home-made food, every now and then exchanging jokes with Haizaki. "Y-You! You poisoned Kuroko!" Kise screeched and the redhead looked at him a bit angry, because he had to swallow all his food to respond to that annoying bulb of light. "What the hell are you saying?! I didn't poison anyone, idiot!"

"B-But Kurokocchi isn't moving!" Kise retorted, pointing his finger towards the motionless boy with baby blue eyes. Kagami furrowed his eyebrows, but deep down he was a bit worried for Kuroko. Maybe he had eaten something he was allergic at? However, his attention was again stolen by Haizaki who let out an amused chuckled. Kise looked at him with unbelieving eyes, his down lip trembling a little like he had been betrayed. "Shougo-kun... don't tell me it was your plan all along! I knew you wanted to hurt me, but why did you touch Kurokocchi?"

The grey haired teen lifted an eyebrow and slapped Kise on the back of his head. Hard. "Stop misunderstanding things. I knew you were an idiot, but this is too much even for you." He scoffed, folding his arms under his chest with a frown on his face, then he pointed to Kuroko with his head. "Don't you see, you idiot? The food it's too delicious for him that his brain stopped for a moment, like this angel could actually poison someone." Haizaki this time pointed to Kagami, whose cheeks burnt in embarrassment and he angrily scowled at the grey haired teen. "I'm not an angel, stop this nonsense!" "See? An angel indeed." For this, Haizaki was punched on the back by the angry redhead and nearly fell with face on the ground if it wasn't for his reflexes that kicked in the right time and made him put his hands in front of him. He was safe for the moment, because Kagami's attention was stolen by Kuroko again, but he had to be careful, next time he wouldn't be so lucky.

Kise's eyebrows shot in the sky and he gaped in shock. He turned his head so fast that his neck nearly snapped. "Kurokocchi?!" Kuroko seemed to have regained his ability to move again and he was slowly chewing the piece of meat that was inside his mouth. "Delicious..." The shadow muttered, putting a hand on his mouth, like he wasn't believing what was inside. "It's... really delicious..."

"Ehhhh?! Really?!" Kise wondered surprised, turning his attention towards Kagami's lunch box. "Then I want to have a taste too!" He was starting to crawl towards it when Haizaki put himself between him and the delicious food with threatening eyes. "Like hell I'm letting you taste it, Ryouta, find your own angel-wife!" Kagami's left eye twitched at that and smacked Haizaki behind the head. "I said stop saying that!"

"Kise," Akashi's chilling voice froze them all. Right, in the middle of that little theatre they forgot that he was there too. The captain smiled coldly at his teammate after he cleaned his dirt mouth with a tissue that was made of precious material, "stop bothering Kagami and eat your own lunch, it's getting late."

You're bothering me!, Kagami wanted to shout but he knew better than discuss with Akashi, so he decided to shut his mouth and just glared at the other redhead of the strange group that formed around him. Seriously, how did that happen? When he first got here, he was worried about how to approach the Miracles, now they (mostly Akashi with his creepy actions) were bugging him, and he was bothered by it, more than he was in the future! How could that be?!

Kise pouted, but crawled back, sitting on the grass beside Akashi and taking out his bag a little bread with what looked like lettuce and tomatoes in it. "Fine Akashicchi," he mumbled, taking an angry bite on his lunch while continuing to glare to Haizaki.

Kagami frowned and lifted a hand, getting Kise's attention in a second. "Wait... that's your lunch? You're too thin, you should eat more!" He said pointing to Kise's mini-bread with an angry scowl.

"E-Eh?" Kise lifted his eyebrows surprised with his lunch half-way to his mouth. "B-But I'm a model, I can't get fat!" He retorted with an happy grin, then his golden eyes softened at Kagami's actions, a little, real smile formed on his lips, "I'm happy that Kagamicchi is worried about me!" The redhead turned his head to a side, trying to hide his blush, "'m not worried about you..."

"Don't worry, Ryouta, Kagami is exaggerating, he always eats like an elephant, so every other lunch seems so tiny compared to his," Haizaki pointed towards Kagami's enormous bento, but before he could do anything else the redhead began to ruffle his hair with too much strength. "I'm not an elephant!" Kagami snarled, his cheeks still a bit red. "Ouch!" Haizaki moaned in pain, trying to get the tiger's hands off him, "I didn't say that, you stupid angel!" Wrong thing to say because Kagami looked angrier than before. "STOP WITH THE ANGEL NONSENSE! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT I'M NOT AN ANGEL?!" He yelled and, using his body, he pushed Haizaki on the ground, beginning to tickle his sides with his fingers and the grey haired teen began to laugh. "N-NO, S-S-STOP! I'M DYING!" Haizaki was torn between begin angry and laughing. Tickles were his weak point, he couldn't win if Kagami did that to him! Damn, the redhead was really unfair!

Revenge was so sweet, that was what Kagami was thinking while Haizaki was becoming a puddle of laughs and curses. That what he was getting to always joke about him begin an "angel" or a "wife". That bastard needed to be taught a lesson.

"What are those fools doing..." Midorima muttered, adjusting his glasses on his nose, turning his head to a chuckling Momoi who was recording everything with her cellphone (she had so much things about Kagami and Haizaki in it that her memory was nearly full... yup, she was just a little obsessed with them). "They're always like that Midorin, but it what's that makes them adorable, they're like two adorable pets."

"Which parts of them makes them "adorable"?" Midorima asked scandalized, not understanding a thing of what Momoi was saying. Adorable? Them? They looked more like two bears that wanted to kill each other rather than two "pets"! What was that girl thinking? He really didn't know what was passing in Momoi's head... she seemed to change every time Haizaki or Kagami was closer and he still didn't know if that was a good or a bad thing. For now, it seemed like it was a bad thing.

"I can see Kagamicchi as adorable, but Shougo-kun... no, I can't see him as cute." Kise commented, cleaning his hands on his pants (receiving a disgusted glare from Midorima) with his golden eyes settled to the two boys on the ground who were still "battling". Momoi chuckled and caressed her long hair with her fingers, "that's because you don't like Hai-chan." Kise huffed but didn't deny it, continuing to follow the funny act of the two "pets". They seemed like they were forgetting that there were other people there too and were rolling on the floors, each of them trying to defeat the other with non-violent attacks.

Haizaki blew some air against Kagami's neck and the redhead let out a shriek (a manly shriek, mind you) and stopped for a moment his attack. The grey haired teen found the opportunity to reverse their position and grasped Kagami's waist, forcefully pinning him down while the other let out a surprised scream. The redhead glared at Haizaki, but he didn't try to defend himself anymore because he was actually pretty tired. The adrenaline in his vein started to disappear and now he could just throw daggers to the teen above him, who was starring down at him with a victorious smirk painted on his face. That damn bastard, just wait for him to catch his breath and he was going to show Haizaki who was the boss there-

A loud cough jerked Kagami's attention off Haizaki's smirk and he slowly turned his head to see a flustered Midorima who was looking at them with an hated glare. "Fools, stop that stupid act... if you really want to do those things, do them at your home." He muttered adjusting once again his glasses that had fallen on the the tip of his nose. He couldn't believe that those two idiots were flirting in front of him, he didn't have anything against homosexual, but that was too much! It was already bad that he had agreed to come to that awkward lunch because his lucky item for that day wasn't an item, it was a "have lunch with a Scorpio and a Taurus". Sadly the only Scorpio he knew was Haizaki and the only Taurus he knew was Momoi so, even if he knew he was going to regret it, he decided to go. And he had been right, he was regretting his decision.

Midorima scowled when Haizaki's smirk grew when he met his eyes and the grey haired teen licked his lips slowly, teasing the green head who just wanted to escape from there. "Don't worry, Shintarou, there's enough of me for everyone... or maybe you want Kagami?" The face that Midorima made was priceless. His mouth slowly opened, his eyes grew so large that they nearly fell from the skull, his eyebrows shot in the sky and his entire body froze in that position. A stone would have seemed more lively than Midorima in that moment.

Haizaki burst out laughing and lifted himself, helping a still scowling Kagami with him and deciding to sit beside Momoi, who just finished to record the entire scene and was having serious problems to not faint. "I want the video... especially Shintarou's reaction." He whispered to her and she grinned at him, nodding and she started to type on her phone, probably to re-watch the imagines she had photographed. Seeming to snap out his trance, Midorima turned to Momoi with flushed cheeks and glared at both her and Haizaki. "You shall not!" He nearly yelled, but he contained his voice because he wasn't an idiot like Aomine. The pink haired girl gave him a small smile and pointed to her cellphone. "I'm so sorry, Midorin... it's too late now..." She whispered and Midorima felt his throat going dry. No, he couldn't believe it... he wanted a hole to swallow him up and to never be seen again. Haizaki on the other hand felt like he had won the jackpot and lifted a punch in the air as a victory sign. Thankfully for Midorima, Akashi took pity on him and decided to save his friend from the embarrassment that Haizaki was most likely going to make him feel.

"Don't worry, Midorima, I'm sure that Haizaki won't divulge that video, right, Haizaki?" Akashi glared at the grey haired teen with all his might and Haizaki froze in his spot, slowly lowering his punch and began to scowl at the captain of the Generation of Miracles, but after seeing how Akashi's eyes narrowed dangerously, he muttered a "fine" under his breath and Midorima let out a quietly sigh of relief. At least he wouldn't be ashamed to go to school tomorrow, Akashi's power was really scary, but it was useful too. Thank god (or Satan?) for that.

"By the way," Momoi's voice called all the attention on her, making all the boys look at her, "where are Mukkun and Dai- I mean, Aomine-kun? Didn't you invite them?" She asked curiously, titling her head on a side with a cute frown on her face. She had been aware of the absence of the other two members of the Generation of Miracles, but with all those fights and jokes, she didn't find a good time to ask until now.

Kise laughed nervously, ruffling his hair with an hand. "Well... today there is a special day in the cafeteria... there are a lot of sweets and Murasakibaracchi wanted to go to all costs..." Kagami snorted amused at the blond's words. Well, of course Murasakibara wasn't there, that purple titan was too busy to eat every type of sweet he could get his hands on, there was no way he would have come there willingly.

"Ah... I see..." Momoi laughed, imagining Murasakibara stuffing his mouth with every type of cake like a big teddy bear, "and Aomine-kun?" She asked worried, after all, even if he was a jerk, he was still her precious childhood friend. Kuroko looked at her with sad eyes and shook his head, which – Kagami knew that – didn't seem like a good sign. "Aomine-kun didn't want to come, he said he preferred the rooftop." In Momoi's eyes passed a light of sadness and she dropped her shoulders defeated. "I see..." Kagami wanted to punch Aomine again for just making the pink haired look like that. She seemed a kicked puppy and he couldn't survive the rest of the day with her in that way. Oh, how much he wanted to hurt that stupid jerk, maybe if he hit him hard enough something good would enter in his brain. Well, if Aomine had a brain, that's it.

Kise clapped his hands together, trying to shoot away that heavy atmosphere, with a big smile on his face. "Alright, alright! Stop thinking about Aominecchi and Murasakibaracchi! There is something else I want to ask Kagamicchi!" The redhead looked at him with a lifted eyebrow, wondering why the hell Kise was asking something to him, even if deep down was grateful for the change of argument because Momoi didn't look as sad a before, "is it true that you are together with Shougo-kun?"

Silence. Even Akashi stopped his movements when the blond asked that question.

Midorima seemed the most troubled of them all and glared at Kise, looking pretty uncomfortable. "Oi, fool, don't ask those type of questions-" But he didn't even get to finish his sentence when Haizaki's laugh broke the uncomfortable atmosphere. They grey haired teen had his head thrown back and a hand on his stomach, his eyes closed and it seemed like he would start crying at any time because of that hilarious situation. Kagami, on the other hand, was burning in embarrassment, a hand on his face and cheeks as red as his own hair. He wanted to strangle Kise, he didn't know why but that question made him uncomfortable, too much uncomfortable and it was obviously all the blond's fault. That idiot, he was going to die soon if he kept doing things like that.

"Ahahah- no, really?" Haizaki continued to laugh, clutching his stomach with both arms and looking at Kise with only an eye opened. "Do you really believe those rumours? How much an idiot can you be? I-I can't even speak- Ahahah" Haizaki rolled on his back, his laugh filled the empty garden.

Kise stared at him confused, his head titled on a side and his hands pressed against his crossed legs. "So it's a "no"?" He asked and Kagami growled at him, however his heated cheeks looked anything but dangerous. "OF COURSE, MORON!" The redhead yelled but calmed a bit down when he felt a ghostly hand on his shoulder. Turning his head, Kagami met with Kuroko's baby blue eyes and he was washed by a comforting feeling, like that the shadow, with only his presence, could shoot away all his worries. Kuroko may not truly known him yet, but for Kagami – for now – his presence in his life was enough. Friendship would come in time, he was sure of it.

"Please, calm down, Kagami-kun, Kise-kun is an idiot, he doesn't know how to talk to other people," Kuroko smiled briefly at him, his face looked soft and Kagami, looking at it, for some reasons, felt his cheeks heating up, so he lowered his head and stared at the ground with great interest. "'Tch, whatever..."

"Wahhh, Kurokocchi is always so mean to me..." Kise pouted like a dog that was scowled. Haizaki, that somewhat had regained the ability of talk and to burst in laughter, snorted when he saw the blond's face. "You look like a dog, want me to put a leash on you?" Kise glared at him and puffed his cheeks, he was starting to respond when Midorima stepped him. "Stop with your foolish discussions, you're annoying."

Kise looked at the green head for a second before huffing and crossing his arms under his chest, for once listening to the shooter of the Generation of Miracles. Midorima adjusted his glasses and stared at Kagami. He was actually still quiet troubled when he learned that the redhead didn't have a relationship with Haizaki, he was so sure of it, every girl in his class talked about those two together, but it seemed like it was all a big misunderstanding. Obviously, it was all Kise's fault because he made him think bad about another person. Midorima vowed to take revenge on him when he had the possibility. Oh yes, he was going to grill him for good.

"I don't understand..." Kagami muttered, lifting his head once he felt that his cheeks weren't burning anymore, his eyes landed on Akashi who had stayed quiet for most of the conversation, "why taking all the trouble for me? It's not like I would change something if I enter in the team, you're already too strong, what can I do for you?" That's right, ever since Akashi told him that he was going to make him say "yes" to his proposition, Kagami didn't know why the midget captain was taking all the troubles for him. It didn't make any sense, Kagami knew he was strong in basketball, but he was on the same level as Aomine, plus the Generation of Miracles was already strong like it was in that moment. Why taking the trouble to recruit another player? What was Akashi's plan?

Akashi smiled at him, being his usual regal self that made something like sitting on the ground like an elegant thing, "I thought you weren't interested," he responded, his voice seemed warm but the coldness was there and Kagami knew it, that's why his red eyes narrowed. "I'm not, but it's a bit annoying how you decided to enter in my life like you're doing."

Haizaki, sensing that something bad was going to happen if somebody didn't do anything, put an hand on Kagami's shoulder. "Hey, Kagami, maybe you should stop for now-" However, Akashi's voice cut him out, "no need, Haizaki, Kagami-kun can say what he wants, like I said, we are in a free country after all." The captain's eyes weren't angry, they showed an interested light that sparkled more than necessary and the people that were watching Akashi didn't like it. He was like a predator that was waiting the perfect time to attack. Dangerous yet intelligent, a deadly combination.

"I don't have anything else to say, actually..." And the tense atmosphere was broken by Kagami's dumb comment. Well, he thought that Akashi would have a different reaction, like cutting him with scissors, instead it was a pretty normal one, no death treats or creepy smiles, he was polite and more or less normal which threw Kagami off.

Haizaki and Momoi slapped their hands on their faces, wondering why they thought for a second that Kagami could be anything more than a stupid angel, while the members of the Generation of Miracles were watching the redhead like he had a second head and also Akashi seemed a bit surprised by that comment.

Feeling their eyes on him, Kagami blushed and ruffled his hair with his hand and gave them a little grin, even if he was embarrassed to death. "Sorry...?" It came out like a question because he didn't understand why everyone was so shocked, but he felt the need to apologise. Haizaki looked at him for a moment before chuckling and he put his head on the redhead's crossed legs, using them as a pillow even if Kagami growled in annoyance but still didn't push him away. "You'll be the death of me..." Haizaki muttered while the redhead began to massage his scalp in instinct. Alex always put herself in that position and nagged him to massage her, so it was a natural thing for him to do.

Watching that scene with widened eyes, Kise turned towards Momoi with an arched eyebrow. "Are you sure that they aren't together?" He wondered in a little voice, hoping to not be heard by the other two because he didn't want to disturb them. He wouldn't ever say that aloud, but they looked cute like that! Yes, even that jerk of Haizaki seemed to be adorable when he was close to Kagami, it was like the redhead's angelic nature could shoot away Haizaki's devil one. Then it was true that opposite were attracted to each other...? He was so going to investigate that.

Momoi lifted her shoulders at Kise's question and continued to snap photos of that adorable duo. Oh, that was what she lived for! Haizaki looked like a cute kitten while Kagami was his usual angel self that was petting the other! For a moment she swore to have seen wings behind him, but she thought that it was probably an hallucination for the too much cuteness.

"Momoi-san... why are you keeping photograph them?" Kuroko asked out of no where making her jump in surprise and she nearly let go of her phone for how much she was shocked to hear the shadow's voice. "Tetsu-kun!" She puffed her cheeks annoyed that Kuroko managed to catch her off guard once again, but deciding to respond to his question (also because she really wanted to talk to someone about her fantasies), "it's because they're perfect! They're the most precious OTP in the world! Kagamin and Hai-chan compensate each other with their personality! A-And do you see how Hai-chan gets jealous of Kagamin?! They're so cuteee! Especially when they flirt but Kagamin doesn't understand it! He's so adorable! Right? Right?!"

While she was – one-sided – chatting with Kuroko, Kise was turning towards Midorima with shocked eyes and gaped mouth. "What the hell is she saying? Momoicchi is scary..." The blond whispered, putting an hand in front of his lips to avoid to be heard by the pink haired girl. He really didn't want to make her angry, she was enough scary in that moment.

Midorima glared at him, his whole face screamed "uncomfortable" and he crossed his arms under his chest, trying to not listen to Momoi's ramblings. "How the hell can I possibly know, fool?"

Meanwhile Akashi was looking at the scene in front of him with an amused and interested smile. He had been a bit shocked from Kagami's words and he would have replied to all his questions, however he knew that the redhead's mind wasn't on that discussion anymore so he kept his mouth shut and continued to observe the reactions of the group around him. Akashi knew that Kise was starting to be a little obsessed with Kagami, the fact that the blond began to ask to everyone about the redhead had been a great clue. Midorima seemed uninterested but his eyes seemed to search Kagami, Akashi knew he had seen him play basketball and curiosity piqued the green head's mind. Akashi didn't know what Kuroko was thinking about the redhead, but he saw how the shadow looked at Kagami, he seemed like he was watching Aomine when he wasn't in his "the only one who can beat me is me" phase. Akashi couldn't get angry with them for this curiosity, he too was interested in the redhead ever since he had talked him back during that lunch-break, maybe even before that when he saw how Momoi and Haizaki behaved around him. Kagami wasn't only strong in basketball, he had also this comfortable aura that surrounded him and attracted the others at him and made them love him. That was a scary power, that could be used for many things if just the redhead wanted, but Akashi knew that Kagami was too gentle to do that, he understood that when he saw how the redhead treated Haizaki. There were no places for hate in his heart, just pureness and energy. Akashi, even if the others and Kagami himself thought different, didn't want the redhead on his side for something dark and dangerous, he needed him to help him to protect the Generation of Miracles. Akashi wasn't blind, he knew that if Aomine had bloomed then the others would follow him soon. To tell the truth, he didn't know what to do. However, he didn't understand why, but when he saw Kagami and his shining smile, he felt hope and he knew that he had to have him. Because he didn't want to lose his friends, even if he had to throw away his pride as an Akashi to do that. There was something that told him that Kagami could help him, and the captain of the Generation of Miracles never failed. He still didn't know what the other redhead was able to do, however he could do something. But for now, even if the clock was ticking, he would enjoy the scene in front of him with a true, amused smile, he would think about business later, because every time Kagami was involved, there was always fun.

"Okay, now stop affectionate cat, my arms are tired," Kagami complained, kicking Haizaki off his lap, making the other groan in pain while rolling on the ground. "Oh! But you're really soft! I want to stay on you more!" The grey haired teen pouted, trying to sneak on the redhead's again but failing when the tiger shoot him away with an angry snarl. "I'm not soft! Which part of me is soft?! I'm all muscles!"

Haizaki winked at him and licked his lips and Kagami knew he was going to say something stupid again. "Your ass is." Kagami wanted to punch him hard in the face, but he heard a loud noise from his left and he turned around to see what was happening. He nearly burst out laughing when he saw that Midorima, who was standing up probably for going away from there, tripped on his own foot and kissed the ground, probably caught off guard because of Haizaki's joke.

Silence filled the garden for a few seconds before Akashi, worried about his best friend, stood up and walked towards him, "are you alright, Midorima?" He asked, but by the trembling lips Kagami knew immediately that the feared captain of the Generation of Miracles was using all his self control to not laugh at his teammate's misfortune. Maybe that was the most surprising thing of all that scene.

Haizaki was starting to laugh when Kuroko jabbed him on a side, making him moan and glare at the shadow that quietly moved to his side. "Fucker! That hurt damn!" Kuroko looked at him with expressionless eyes, not caring about the pain that his former teammate was experiencing. "You shouldn't laugh about someone's else misfortune, Haizaki-kun."

"'Tch, like I care..." The grey haired teen replied, huffing but not trying to laugh again, since he didn't want Kuroko to hit him again. That damn brat was small but he could punch like Satan.

Midorima adjusted his glasses, seeming unaffected by his stunt even if his nose was as read as Akashi's hair and he glared at Kise who had the nerve to laugh. The blond shut himself up, even if some giggle still escaped from his lips and Momoi's efforts to making him stop were vain. Kise really didn't know when it was the moment to stop. Just like Haizaki, in that aspect they were the same type of idiots.

"We should get going, the bell is going to ring soon, and I don't want you to be late," Akashi said, having returned to his usual regal self and he began to gather his things. The others nodded and stood up, each of them with a small smile dancing on their lips, even if they didn't know yet what it meant.

Once Kagami had grabbed his lunch-box and joined Momoi and Haizaki, Akashi's voice called him out and he turned towards him. "See you soon, Kagami-kun," the captain smiled, bowing slightly as a goodbye before beginning to walk away followed by Midorima, Kise (who waved a little too much) and Kuroko who mimicked Akashi's actions.

Finally alone with their thoughts, Haizaki, once he was sure that the other four couldn't hear him, began to make comments about that lunch. "Well... it really sucked."

Momoi laughed nervously and slapped a hand on the grey haired teen's arm, "oh, come on it wasn't so terrible!" But she didn't believe her own words either. It was funny, yes, but awkward as hell.

Kagami sighed, ruffling his hair with an hand, his energies completely drained by the events that happened during that lunch-break. "Ah... Akashi is a real jerk... I really can't stand that guy..." He muttered and Haizaki snickered, patting his head knowingly. "Don't worry, nobody does it."

"Come on guys, Akashi-kun isn't so bad, you two!" Momoi puffed her cheeks when she heard her friends talking trash about her captain, "and hurry up, we're going to be late for class!"

Haizaki chuckled muttering an "yes, mom" under his breath and began to follow Momoi who had started walking (and didn't hear that comment), with a laughing Kagami at his side.

They didn't need anyone else, they were happy like that, however they knew that that calm couldn't last very long, because Akashi's plan was already in motion and they couldn't do anything to stop it.

Kise walked in the hallways, trying to find his class, but that wasn't what was bugging him in that moment.

During lunch, he had felt a strange in his chest when every time Haizaki touched Kagami, and it wasn't a good feeling. Yes, he didn't like the grey haired teen, however he knew that he wasn't feeling like that because of that.

He had felt like he wanted to rip Haizaki's head when the other put it on the redhead's lap (okay, they were also cute, but still...) and the jokes he made gave an annoying feeling to the blond. He didn't know what it was, it was ugly, dark and he didn't like it. Also, for some reasons, he felt happy when Kagami told him that there was nothing between him an Haizaki...

Putting an hand on his heart, he briefly wondered why it beat so fast every time he thought at Kagami and why he felt so obsessed by him, not even with Aomine he felt such a strong feeling. He didn't understand, he didn't know him for so long, but there was something unique in him, something that drawn him to the redhead...

His feelings were a mess, but he knew that sooner or later he would have to face them, even if they scared him... however, for now he had to think to class, he didn't want the teacher to scowl him again.

Putting on his best model smile, he entered in the class, deciding to forget for the moment about his troubled feelings.

Author's note: This chapter had been really hard to write... plus I caught a cold so it was ten thousand worse... but I finished it!

I know, finally the plot is starting, I'm happy too XD

I actually wanted to put Murasakibara and Aomine too, but Murasakibara would have just eaten and, since there are still many things that I have to explain about Aomine, I decided that I would have given him a chapter all for him (well, the most of it for him), that's why I decided to put "Only" Akashi, Kise, Midorima and Kuroko!

Kise is having troubled feelings! I know you were all waiting for it ;)

Thank you for reading, and leave me a comment to tell me what you think about this chapter! See you!
