A guy with sky blue hair and eyes wearing a plain black shirt, dark washed jeans, and blue basketball shoes waits in front of the airport's conveyer belt for his luggage. Though he is wearing sunglasses, everyone couldn't help but notice him.

He has his hands inside his jeans' pocket, patiently waiting for his baggage. He has long legs, a lean shape, pale skin and a mysterious but alluring aura surrounding him. Foreigners, locals, males and females all stop to take a look at him.

"He looks so cool!"

"Is he a model?"

"Maybe he's an actor!"

Are the words that everyone said, unconsciously surrounding the man who didn't even spared them a glance. He bents down to pick up a black leather luggage and an expensive and branded travel bag.

When he turns around, he stops when he sees the crowd all looking at him with curiosity. One of the girls pushed their friend to him. The girl blushes while he stares down at her in confusion.

"U-um," The girl stutters, "Can I have a picture with you?" The girl looks down, scared of being denied. When she heard the man say, "Sure", she looks up to see him smiling with a face carved by angels and was about to faint when her friends all rush up to him.

The other people also came running to him. "What's your name? And where did you come from?" The girl asks, feeling joyous that she was able to have a picture with him.

"Ah, I'm from London. And my name is Kuroko Takuya."


When practice is finally over, Riko and the others parted ways. Before heading home, the coach of Seirin decided to visit the nearest Adidas store. All day, she is itching to head to said store to buy the newest pair of shoes that is currently being modelled by a Japanese.

When she entered the store, Riko immediately spotted the shoes, but someone is already there looking at it. The guy looking at them is really tall, and as her estimations can say, he is about six feet and two inches tall. He also has the same blue hair that reminded her of one Kuroko Tetsuya.

Riko walked towards the guy and the shoes she is setting her eyes on, but when the guy looks at her, Riko immediately stops on her feet, thinking, 'Uwah! Is he a model!' He stares at her in confusion, and when he stepped towards her, he asked,

"Miss, are you okay?" Riko blushes at the sound of his voice. Not really deep, but husky enough to make her melt. "Ah-ah! The shoes… Er…" Riko stammers. The guy's eyes travelled from her to the shoes.

Upon understanding, he returns his focus on Riko and smiles, "Ah, you want it to?" Riko nods, blushing harder at the dazzling, modelesque, smile. "U-un."

A saleslady approached the guy with a bright smile and hands him a similar pair, "Sir, here it is, size eight." From the way the woman made their hands touch when she handed the shoes to the stranger made it obvious that she finds him dashing too. Well, everyone seems too with the way the other shoppers have their attention on them.

"Thank you," He says, "I'm going to buy them now." The saleslady looked confuse, "Eh? You're not going to try them on?" He shakes his head, "No. Please just wrap it up." When the saleslady left, Riko couldn't help but saying, "You don't look like a size eight."

The stranger looks at her again before chuckling, "You're right. I'm not a size eight. It's for my brother." Before going to the cashier, the stranger says, "I'll see you around miss."

Riko blushes one last time as she watches him walk away.


"I'm home." Kuroko says, more to his self than the people inside. His father is away in a business trip of some sort, and his mother, well; she is busy with her job too. Everything in the house is normal, except for the fact that someone answered him.

"Tetsuya-chan!"

Only one person called him with a –chan. There standing in front of him is his older brother Takuya with a big smile on his face. "Aniki." He says eyes wide and jaw dropping a bit.

Takuya bents down to hug Kuroko and lift him up from the ground, "Tetsuya-chan, I really missed you. But we're together now!" He hugs the other more tightly, burying his nose in Kuroko's hair.

Kuroko smiles, returning his brother's hug, "I missed you too, Aniki." Putting his younger brother down, Takuya tugs on his wrist before Kuroko can even properly place his shoes on the shoe rack.

"Come on, Tetsuya-chan. I bought a lot of stuff for you!" When they arrived at the living room part of their house, a number of paper bags in all kinds of sizes stuffed the sofa, floor, and table.

"You didn't have to buy so much." Kuroko tells his older brother. Takuya scoffs, "Tetsuya-chan, we've been separated for four years, so of course I need to buy lots of stuff," Then with a smile, he adds, "Actually, there are more in my old room."

Kuroko scans the entire room and sees more paper bags, even at the dining table. When Takuya followed Kuroko's gaze, his eyes lit up in anticipation to show it to Kuroko, "I just bought those at the dining table today. When I came home, I saw your dog, and I just had to buy him something. Of course, I also got something for you."

Speaking of #2, he is currently asleep inside wooden shelter that is placed near the stairs of their penthouse apartment, house, whatever.

"Come on, you got to see it all."


After three hours of trying out everything Takuya got him, Kuroko finally had the time to order Chinese take-out. Trying out all the clothes, shoes, hats, accessories and all kinds of stuff is a lot more tiring than practice, if Kuroko is being honest.

If he can remember, Takuya had got him at least twenty pants and forty shirts along with twenty shoes. Kuroko haven't even opened the paper bags lying on his room, as Takuya had said earlier.

As it seems, Takuya had been buying stuff for him ever since he left, and some of the clothes didn't even come from his pocket money but from the brands he models for. Being a model apparently made his older brother hit the motherlode.

But Kuroko is at least thankful Takuya got him stuff he is interested in like books, sports magazines, music albums and lots of DVD's. Electronics were out of the question since Takuya always air mail him the newest gizmos, which he barely has time to use.

"You lied and said your arrival is in three weeks." Kuroko announces after swallowing the food he ordered. Takuya shrugs, slurping on iced tea, "Tetsuya-chan, you should just be happy I'm here."

Kuroko sighs, setting his plate down, "Its weird having you here now when we were just talking over the internet two days ago." His eyes stayed on Takuya's who just gave him a sheepish green, "You know me, otouto. I like surprising people; just like you do."

After finishing his food, Kuroko stood-up, "I'm going to sleep now. I need to wake-up early tomorrow." Takuya scowls at him, "I came back to spend more time with you, you know." Kuroko stayed silent before smiling at his brother mysteriously, "Why, you can't think of other ways to spend time together?"

Takuya's eyes widen, finally understanding him. He stands up too with a big grin on his lips, "Yes, yes, let's sleep!" Kuroko just watches as Takuya takes his plate and throws it on the bin.

He turns to Kuroko again, "Well? Let's sleep!"


That morning, Kuroko barely had time to prepare for school since Takuya is acting with his usual spoiled brat attitude and didn't want to let Kuroko get away from his arms. When Kuroko said that he'd never let Takuya sleep on the same bed again, his older brother jumped away from him, scowling but finally letting him go.

To think that a pretty boy who always give the impression as the nice guy who is the dream of every parent is actually a spoiled and blunt guy who always get what he wants made Kuroko smile.

So when practice came and go, Kuroko is still yawning. Since it is a Friday, it's understandable why the others are dressing up casually. But what is not understandable is why Kuroko is also dressing up. After all, he is practically the most anti-social person in the team.

Wearing skinny jeans, a blue v-neck underneath a blue and white striped hoodie, white sneakers and a purple Jansport bag on his back, Kuroko's team mates couldn't help but think that he might be going to a date.

"Going out, Kuroko?" Kagami asks with a teasing grin. Kuroko stares at him and answered without hesitation, "Yes." The others stopped and watched as Kuroko exited the locker room, his phone on hand.

When the door shuts, Koganei says, "I wonder what kind of girl Kuroko is dating?" Kiyoshi grins, "Well, we can always grill him tomorrow about his date."


"I never should've agreed to this." Kuroko tells Takuya as he finally catches up to Kuroko after taking a picture with the fifth girl that had asked for a picture. It hasn't been an hour yet, and Kuroko already wants to go home.

Takuya rolls his eyes, "Tetsuya-chan, don't be a piss ass." Then, Takuya grins, and Kuroko sighs, "What are we supposed to do anyway?" When they met at the fountain situated in front of the mall, the first thing that happened is Takuya questioning Kuroko why he didn't wear the Adidas shoes he bought him, in which Kuroko responded with silence.

Then after walking inside, all they did is to stop every time a girl asks for a picture with Takuya. Rather than refusing them, Takuya is very nice to all of them.

"Um, excuse me!" The two turned around, and Kuroko distances himself when a girl asks for a picture with Takuya. 'Sixth girl of the day.' Kuroko thinks with exasperation.

Takuya is just the kind of person who is very nice to strangers, and when you become close to him, he starts acting like a different person. He is also the type who doesn't remember 'insignificant' people, which is practically everyone he meets.

Takuya walks toward Kuroko with a smile. He encircled his palm around Kuroko's wrist and drags him around, saying, "Say, let's watch a movie?" When they were out of sight of the squealing girls, Takuya sighs and looks down at his younger brother, "Tetsuya-chan, do I even look like a celebrity to you?"

"Yes." Is Kuroko's straightforward reply. Takuya stops for a while before grinning, "Glad you agree." Kuroko sighs again, "You're vain." Takuya shrugs, his hand moving down to Kuroko's hand now, "For a good reason."
