A repost because I had problems with my original account :[
Just my attempt at short pieces of aimless, shameless, and unapologetic fluff.
I know dogs are red-green colour blind, but just play along.
Minor coarse language, hence the [T] rating.
I'm apologising now for the OOCness, so please don't bash me over the head with a leek.

Chapter 1: AoKuro - Master, Mistress and I: Part 1
Hi, my name is Nigō and I'm a fluffy dog. I belong to my master – Aomine Daiki, and mistress – Kuroko Tetsuna.
Supposedly, my master and mistress have been bonded to each other for a long, long time before they finally mated. Although, I can't be entirely sure if this is fact or part of my master's grand delusion since I was just presented to my mistress a few months ago.
My master must've felt guilty about having my mistress alone at home while he was at work. After all, it was almost impossible to not work overtime as a young detective in Tokyo.
Frankly, I don't think my mistress minded her solitude. My master, however, had insisted on adopting one the buff, strong, and well-trained retiree dogs from the K9 division. Essentially, my master had wanted a canine version of himself to keep my mistress's company.
Too bad, he got me instead; a wee puppy amongst puppies.
I was too sickly to run with the big boys the said. I was meant for the pound they said. I'd never survive the exhaustive training they said.
Well, I agree with them. But then, my master had taken one long – slightly confused – look into my eyes. Shortly after, my master left the building with me safely tucked inside a box.
The drive back to my new home had been funny. I had been super happy with my new master, but my master had been worried if my new mistress would like me. I could tell, because, well, my master wouldn't shut up about it.
"Yo, pup. You think Tetsu'll like ya? We haven't exactly had a serious conversation about getting a dog. Ahh… shit…" My master had gripped the circular steering thing a little bit too tightly.
"I only wanted to get a feel for what it's like to own a dog today. But then, you came into the equation. You, with those damn pleading blue eyes… What was I supposed to do? Argh… She'll understand right Nigō?"
Nigō. Yup, that had been the magical moment when my master gave me a name, the moment where I had sworn all loyalty to my only master.
"Wait, don't look so damn dazed. My wife is not a monster, she'd never hurt you. No. The worst she could ever do is ignore the both of us." At this, my master had looked like he was going to be sick.
The more my master had rambled on back then, the more apparent it became that my master cherished his mate. I didn't understand back then, but now, I think I know why my master – a masculine male alpha – still feels an itty bitty tinkle of insecurity where my mistress is concerned.
You see, strange as it is, my master actually belonged to a pack with 5 alpha males. This would've never, ever gone down in doggy society. Worse still, all top dogs had decided that the only female worth their time was my mistress. They still do in fact. I could understand. My mistress was awfully pretty – for a human. Plus, my mistress was really kind, soft, and generous with her cuddles – much to my master's delight.
But I digress; according to my master, the struggle to impress my mistress involved many, many fierce 5 on 5 battles with balls. Balls! My, how strange human courting rituals are. See what I did there?
Anyway, in a nutshell, it turned out that my master had been worried over nothing because my mistress had loved me since day one. Now, 2 months into my new family, I let out a satisfied little bark as I sat in my mistress's lap.
I raised my head, hoping my mistress would pet me. My mistress was currently knitting something for my master.
It was then that that the familiar sound of my master's engine came. I jumped for the front door.
"Nigō, how've ya been buddy?" My master acknowledged me as he walked through the door carrying a big sports bag.
I barked and frenziedly wagged my tailed as he picked me up and placed me on one of his broad shoulders.
"What kind of husband greets his pet before his wife?" My mistress reprimanded in a light-hearted tone.
"The kind who bought his wife her very favourite vanilla milkshake," my master said as he leant down and gave his mate a soft, lingering lick on her lips. "I'm home Tetsuna."
"Welcome back Daiki – oh Nigō!" I barked my welcome too and jumped from my master's shoulder into my mistress's arms.
"Nigō…" My master looked exasperated, watching me snuggle deeper and deeper into my mistress's warmth. He was jealous. I could tell.
My mistress, however, simply smiled and started stroking my ear. It was so comfy I was on the verge of falling asleep when someone rubbed my back so hard it messed up my fur. I yelped in surprise, and opened my eyes to see my master's dark expression staring me right in the face.
"Oi pup, don't make me regret bringing you home…" I had forgotten how scary my master could get when pushed into that zone.
"Don't bully him Daiki, he's just a puppy after all."
"Tch… He won't be a puppy for long. Soon he'll be so big there won't be any room for him in our bed." My mistress didn't hear my master add under his breath. "I can't wait."
My mistress sighed. "He won't be able to ride around on your shoulder either. Pity, I like watching the two of you do that." My mistress smoothed down my fur back into place.
"So, how did the game go?" My master and mistress sat together on the sofa.
Oh yeah, did I mention that my master still plays the ball courting game with his pack? My mistress thinks it's because the pack loves the game. But I think the pack just wanted to show off to my mistress. My master wanted to show my mistress that she chose the right mate, while the other pack members wanted to show my mistress that they were deserving of her too.
"It was okay. Kise's still over-emotional, Midorima's still superstitious, Murasakibara's still lazy when it comes to offence, and Akashi still likes to antagonize the competition. How about you? Everything go alright at the day-care today?"
My master never ever bothers to say that the pack won against the challenging pack. That's just how awesome our pack is at the ball courting game. All 5 alphas were strong, but my master's the best. I mean, my master did win my mistress after all.
Despite that, my master could never do anything stop the other alphas from trying to win his mate's heart. The blond man was always overly touchy-feely with my mistress whenever he came around to visit, and he came around to visit very often. The purple-topped giant did this regularly too, but he always brought me snacks so I like him. The man with grass for hair always had this disapproving look on his face when he looked at anything that was not my mistress. The taciturn red-head sometimes scared me, but he and my mistress always enjoyed their long, quiet conversations together.
"Yes, day-care was fine. Kagami-kun was a bit late picking up little Tatsuya though, and when he finally came Tatsuya said 'Bye bye oka-chan' to me. It was sweet. He had this big smile on his face, but his father was blushing so hard."
I sometimes wonder if my mistress says these things to intentionally rile up my master. It was common knowledge that the single father known as the other-red-head-kun also wished to mate with my mistress. Well, I say common knowledge, but I really just mean every human and their dogs in the neighbourhood except my mistress herself.
Of course, no one understood my mistress's appeal more than my master, and he was more than just a bit mad right now. I feel bad for my master sometimes. Truly I do, it's too bad he can't just pee on my mistress to mark her as his. Maybe then he wouldn't have such a hard time warding off all the other suitors.
Hey, why can't he pee on my mistress? It wouldn't hurt to try. I better tell him about this brilliant plan!
'Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!'
"Oi, oi, oi what's gotten into you Nigō? Stop!"
"He seems overly excited about something. I wonder what he's trying to say".
"Probably just needs to go. I'll let him out."
WAIT! NOOO! MASTER LET ME IN! YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!
