Dedicated to cywsaphyre, because I asked whether he/she'd ever delve into the KuroBasu fandom. Less than two days later, there was the best KuroBasu story I've read so far.

Summary : Chapter 1 : Going down. Kuroko clings to his forearms blindly, eyes dazed and unfocused, and Taiga's heart clenches.

Taiga pulls Kuroko up, holding him under the armpits as if he were a toddler. Kuroko clings to his forearms blindly and blinks, eyes dazed and unfocused, and Taiga's heart clenches.

Kuroko sways drunkenly the moment Taiga lets go of him, and Hyuuga is there, catching Kuroko's elbow and holding him steady as Kuroko struggles to shake off the shock and numbness, and there is no mistaking the worry in his eyes.

Akashi smirks.

Taiga's blood burns.

You're going down.
