.

It's been already days since their last match with the regulars taking their place like last time only they did it without brutally damaging the moral of the seniors unlike the last time wherein they were being envied by their peers and having no one to help them in the original time they change their approach in taking the positions. Even their fellow first years admire them for having the guts and resolve in challenging the regulars and showing their resolve in winning, the upper years like the passion they see upon their group that regardless if they face a tough opponent they will not back down and instead face it head on. Everything seems normal for the Generation of Miracles after claiming the regular's position with a bet that they have won. They greet each other whenever they meet in the halls and gather at their usual hangout during recess and during trainings they practice harder and strenuous exercises in order to achieve their past stamina and strength early. But something feels off in Kuroko's opinion but couldn't quite place what it is. Not that he really care though.

Kuroko is copying the notes that were given by their History Teacher in class. Mrs. Fujiwara is currently lecturing them about the history of Japan. Idly Kuroko glance towards his teammates. Akashi who is beside him is currently listening attentively the same with Midorima, while Murasakibara was currently munching a pocky stick without a care in the world. Aomine is trying his best not to fall asleep which clearly isn't working while Kise is hastily scribbling something on his notebook.

"And that is all about the Meiji restoration. To those whom are interested to learn more you can look it up in your text book page 132 until 136 for more information. I'll give a test this Wednesday so make sure you study and pass it." Mrs. Fujiwara announced to the whole class before their lesson ends. After leaving the room it became lively again, having first break as their next period some of their classmate have already went off to the cafeteria to buy some snacks while others began to head to their favourite spots while chatting with one another leaving the GoM alone in the room.

"You're not going to the cafeteria Aomine-kun?" Kuroko asks the tan teen. Aomine just waves his hand dismissively as a sign that he isn't interested and tries to sleep again.

After finishing taking down notes Midorima picks up his book while announcing to the rest "I'm going to the library to return a book I've borrowed." Leaving the rest to ponder what they would do to pass some time.

"How about you, Murasakibara-kun?" ask Kuroko to the purple giant.

"I'm going to buy some snacks at the cafeteria since I already run out, Kuro-chin want to come?" Murasakibara ask the teal haired boy. Kuroko just shakes his head no.

"Ah! Then, can I go with you Muk-kun? Ahomine wouldn't accompany me." said Momoi while blowing a raspberry towards the sleeping teen. The purple giant nods as an approval before the two of them left the classroom together.

"Akashi-kun you wouldn't go for a break to?" ask Kuroko. The red hair shook his head as a reply.

"I have something to do after this. See you later Tetsuya, Daiki, Ryouta" said Akashi, leaving them after finishing his belonging. Now that left only Aomine, Kuroko and Kise.

Seeing the sadden expression of the teal haired. Kise asks "What's wrong Kurokochii, don't you want to take a break to?"

"Well… I thought everyone would want to spend time at our usual place… but it seems that today, everyone is busy. Aren't you going somewhere too Kise-kun?" ask Kuroko. The blonde smile as he shakes his head to say no.

"Then...would you like to accompany me to our usual place then Kurokochii? I've got something to ask by the way." told Kise

'Something to ask?' Kuroko thought. He could easily decline what the blonde actually wants. But, he felt that this time he should approve the request seeing no harm in following his instinct. Seeing the blonde look pretty calm this time make Kuroko wonder.

'There must be something… Maybe I should go after all.' He thought for the second time.

"Okay then" Kuroko answered. The blonde didn't squeal or anything like his usual self when Kuroko gave his approval. Instead of tackling him the blonde gave a small smile, something that, the cheerful Kise rarely does.

.

.

The two of them are currently on the rooftop. Kuroko sitting on a bench while Kise is standing beside the fence watching the city view. The wind sometime hits them, making both shiver slightly. Even though it is suppose to be summer, the weather today is unusual being cold and windy.

"What do you want to ask Kise-kun" Kuroko inquired. The blonde player turns around while giving a soft smile towards the phantom player but his eyes aren't focusing towards the other but instead he stares at the other side of the city as if hesitating to ask his question towards the phantom player. Having an internal battle for a minute Kise sighed before looking at Kuroko.

"Kurokochii… What do you thought about going back to the past again?" ask Kise.

"My thought?" asked Kuroko, He didn't quite understand much about the blondes' question having caught him off guard. But then again he didn't expect the blonde would ask such a question.

Kise remains silent for a moment waiting for Kuroko to answer his question seeing that the phantom player is having his own struggle in answering his question he went towards Kuroko and sits beside him in the bench and changed his question.

"Is it true? … that you want us to comeback at this time, Kurokochii?" ask Kise. Kuroko is again surprise by the seriousness of the question being asked by the blonde. He isn't sure how to reply to the first question without offending the other and being called selfish but looking at the blonde beside him and seeing his eyes. He wasn't like the bubbly and cheerful Kise that he used to know.

'There's no use to hide it anymore, seeing that Akashi-kun might have already inform the others." Kuroko thought.

"Yes… I made a wish after the Seirin won the winter cup… for us to comeback… but…I never thought it would actually happen." Kuroko answered while averting his gaze towards Kise because he doesn't know how the other would react towards his "selfish" wish. Kise was momentarily silent for a moment processing the answer before a smile drew on his face.

"Ah… Thank god." said Kise, while hugging the smaller boy after that. Kuroko once again is surprise by the sudden action of his blonde friend he was thinking that he would shout at him for his selfish desire to return to the past without thinking the consequence of his wish. Now he had made a complete 180 degree turn and turn to his usual idiot and clingy personality again. Sweat dropping at the action 'Just what in the hell just happen!?' where the thoughts of the teal haired.

"Kise-kun?" Kuroko tries to get the blondes attention but the blonde was busy clinging to him while mumbling incoherent words.

"And here I thought that we were send by the Shikigami(Death God) because of our sins!" said Kise. Kuroko raises an eyebrow at the proclamation of the blonde while frowning. 'Isn't a Shikigami a death god? While would he have anything to do with this?' where the thoughts of Kuroko as he process the words of Kise.

"Kise-kun…can't breathe." struggle Kuroko. Kise immediately release the phantom player from his hug while furiously apologizing.

"Ah.. Gomen Kurokochii… it's just I thought I would lose you for a second time, and… and." Kise is struggling to explain. But his first sentence caught Kuroko's attention.

"Losing me for the second time? What do you mean by that, Kise-kun?" ask Kuroko.

The blonde stop his tirade and incoherent mumbling before diverting his eyes somewhere else. His cheeks were slightly blushing for some unknown reason.

"About that to be honest Kurokochii, for your information… every night when I go to sleep, I always pray that when I wake up in the morning this isn't all a dream and we would still be together…. I mean that I'll be still here in the past with you and the others." Explain by Kise. This revelation surprise Kuroko much more.

'Why did Kise hope such thing? Why did he hope that we will still be here in the past? Doesn't he want to return to the future in order to see his Kaijou team again?' Are the thoughts of Kuroko.

"Why do you pray something like that Kise-kun? Don't you want to return to original time back so that you can see Kaijou again?" ask Kuroko. Kuroko didn't understand how the blonde thinks at the moment. He knew how much the blonde loves his high school team back then. The blonde had worked hard during the interhigh and winter cup for his high school. He even declared that he love his team.

"Well.. It's not like I wouldn't see them again, but to be honest." Said Kise a bit flustered.

"I want to be with our team to or maybe more, Kurokochii do you understand?" Kise added.

Like being struck by lightning, Kuroko could feel his heart ache as he remembers something… something that he used to feel a long time ago.

It was during their final meeting during winter cup, It was the time when Seirin just won. And he was outside when they called him. Aoimine…Kise…Midorima…Murasakibara…Akashi…were all there.

*FLASHBACK*

"You guys" Kuroko notice his former teammates all there and was surprise that they were wearing their respective Teiko school jersey.

"Don't be surprise we just want to see you for a while Tetsu." Said Aomine.

"Haha…that's right, Kurokochii… eto… do you have time? We don't want to bother your celebreation though" said Kise. Kuroko gave a nod as an answer.

"They are still packing their Stuff in the locker room. Don't worry Kise." Answered Kuroko

"Hmph…ditching your team again Kuroko?" ask Midorima. Kuroko flinch when he heard the statement but he let what the green haired comment slide away.

"Then come… we don't have the time to waste anymore" ordered Akashi. Kuroko was a little bit confused. They were going to take him somewhere?

"Come on…you will know soon, Kuro-chin" Murasakibara assured him. Seeing how serious his former teammates look, Kuroko didn't have the choice but to follow them. He is also somewhat a little curious.

After a few minutes of travelling using the bus, they arrive at the place.

'This place is...' where Kuroko thoughts when he saw the sign of the school. It is their old school.

Teiko Middle School where everything started…

Their fun… 'How they meet one another due to one thing basketball'

Their friendship… 'How he met Aomine and the others'

Their team… 'How the Generation of Miracles been born'

Their memories… 'How they enjoy each match they have'

Their fate… 'How they became known as the strongest team'

and their pain 'how each one change, for the GoM they can't believe Kuroko will go to a budding basketball team like Seirin, and for Tetsuya his pain when he saw that when the GoM grow in terms of strength they rarely need to rely in his passes and he took it hard when his light rejected him and hated and loathe to play basketball due to most teams don't want to fight them anymore opting to just choose to be 2nd our 3rd in competitions.

"Come on Tetsuya, we've prepared something for you" said Akashi.

"Prepare something for me?" ask Kuroko. Now he is more confuse than before. They other didn't reply though instead they went inside the school grounds as if they're following Akashi's lead like the old time.

"Hey wait!" called Kuroko. He is about to enter the school grounds before something struck his mind. 'Is he ready to face the memory?'

"Kuro-chin/Kurokochii/Kuroko/Tetsu?" Murasakibara, Kise, Midorima and Aomine respectively ask when they notice Kuroko isn't entering.

Kuroko titled his head up to see his former teammates gaze. They are already in the school ground, turning back to wait for him.

"Baddump" His heart began to beat so hard he could hear it. 'What is this feeling? Kuroko thought.

His mind went blank. His scared that he would remember all those painful memories he buried in his mind and it would strike him back. Kuroko fears that upon entering he would relieve all those memories and recall each one of them the aches, the sadness, and the feeling of not being depended on by his light and how each one excel and became strong in their own leaving him in the dark.

His thoughts stop when he notices Kise running to his direction. The blonde halted in front of him.

"You don't have to do it, If you don't want to Kurokochii" said Kise with a small smile. That smile isn't the smile he is accustom in seeing upon Kise Ryouta that he knew would have rather it's the smile he use to show whenever someone ask if he's ok. Does Kise have this kind of smile to?

"Kise-kun?"

"I know it's hard…but…umm.. I…we really hope you would come. Can you do it for us? We hope, we could see you this time as Kuroko Tetsuya our Teiko phantom the one who supports us, not from Seirin just this moment, can we?" Kise added while offering his hand to Kuroko.

Kuroko is speechless nonetheless his heart tells him to accept it even though it pains him.

'It hurts'were Kuroko thoughts. His hand began to shake; slowly Kuroko accepted the offered hand and let Kise lead him.

"Thanks Kise" Kuroko murmured, strengthening his hold in the blondes hand as he step inside the school ground.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

.

.

"Kurokochii?" Kise's voice calling him, makes Kuroko snaps out from his own memories. He turns to see that Kise is holding him in the shoulders. The blonde look worried, and expression that didn't suit the blondes personality at all.

"I'm Okay, Kise-kun Thank you for helping me" said Kuroko.

"Helping you?" ask Kise, looking confused. Kuroko just gave him as smile as he stand up.

"That feeling that you were saying earlier, Kise-kun…I understand it too." Kuroko said.

He turns to see the blonde. The pair of golden eyes stares into blue.

"I to wish, that we weren't separated at the first place... that's pretty weird isn't? To have my longing wish come true and be granted this kind of way." Kuroko said with a smile, a smile that Kise rarely saw in Kuroko and the kind that he hasn't seen for a long time. A pure angelic kind of smile can be seen upon Kuroko Tetsuya.

He had once stared on his old Teiko jersey while reminiscing and cries on it.

He had once also thrown a basketball into a bin with pure disgust and loathing expression.

But he had never thrown or tears his picture together with his teammates.

Because he secretly wish to change them back to their past selves where only the enjoyment of playing basketball is all in their minds.

He didn't want to tear the picture because he kept wishing that their bond would stay.

The wish that he had never stopped to prays.

Hearing the school bell that signals that break is almost over. Kuroko informed Kise that they should head back to class in order for them not to be scolded by their teacher, but didn't manage to complete his sentence when he felt Kise embraced him.

"Kise-kun?" Kuroko asked monotonously since his quite already use to the blondes eccentric tendencies and quirks being hug by him. Upon feeling the blondes embrace to tighten around him Kuroko began to entangle himself from Kise's hold but to no avail. "Kise-kun, what are you doing? Let me go" Kuroko told the Kise but instead of letting him go the blonde further tighten his grip towards the teal haired boy. Kise buried his head in the crook of Kuroko's shoulder. While yelling "No!, I don't want to let you go!"

Kuroko is totally surprise by the blonde's outburst. Kise had never yelled at people before and especially not towards him. For a moment Kuroko can hear faint sniffing and felt his shoulder is partially wet.

'Is Kise-kun crying?!' were the thoughts of Kuroko he wanted to confirm it by turning around to face the blonde but instead the blonde didn't let him and hastily told him. "Don't turn, I don't want Kurokochii to see me like this…It's not cool and un-model like if you were to see me right now with this kind of face." Kise told the teal haired. Kuroko can now hear Kise sobbing clearly. He relaxes his tense shoulders and waited for the blonde to calm down.

"Kise-kun" Kuroko tries to calm the sobbing blonde. But he was interrupted by Kise. "I'm scared, Tetsuya…. I'm scared that I might lose you again for a second time, just thinking about it makes me tremble" said Kise.

Kuroko remains silent as he continues hearing the blonde's confession.

"I…like you…being with you guys, so much that when I think of not seeing you and the other I might go nuts, and because, because of that" the blonde continued. "I start to lose control and I don't want to let you go Kurokochii, I hope you understand my feelings." finish the blonde. Kuroko can feel Kise's warm breath near his face due to the close proximity of the blonde to him.

"That I love you" murmured Kise near Kuroko's ears. Wide eyed at the blonde's proclamation of his love towards him his heart began to beat frantically, out of confusion, happiness because the blonde feel this way towards him.

"Kise-kun I…" Kuroko didn't have the time to complete his sentence because Kise stops him with a kiss. It surprise Kuroko greatly that he forgot to push the other away from him or even resist it. Kise lets Kuroko go after the chaste kiss. 'Did Kise just kiss him?!' were the incredulous thoughts of a frantic Kuroko. His quickly snap out of his thoughts when he noticed the warmth at his back left him indicating that the blonde has already let him go from his embrace earlier.

"I don't know how to explain to you Kurokochii how I feel right now. I don't know if it's love or just admiration but whenever I think about what I haven't done back then and the possibility of losing you again the second time my mind always went blank and my heart aches" Kise scratches his head while explaining to Kuroko..

"I've try to conceal my feeling away at first because I thought it was only just admiration to the one that taught me how to play basketball and the one that help me when I was selected as a regular back then when were in 2nd year, but I couldn't heal but to feel this way towards you" Kise added while intently looking at the standing teen in front of him. "and because of that.. I like you Kurokochii, I sincerely… like you… more than a friend" the blonde finally let the words out.

Kuroko was momentarily silent by the confession of the blonde towards him. He isn't sure how to react to someone openly stating their feeling towards him since he was quite use to being not notice, and ignored by others. He isn't sure what to reply, because his not sure how the blonde would react if he rejected the others feelings towards him.

'Do I like kise-kun?' Kuroko tries to get the solution and answer to reply to blondes confession earlier but none of it came up.

Upon seeing Kuroko struggle to answer him Kise replied. "Well of course, you don't have to say anything right now.. uhh.., This is too sudden now that I think about it, right? Err.. But I just want to let you know how I feel, that's all" the blonde seem uneasy to answer while averting his gaze to the still silent teen.

"I too, don't know my feeling to Kise-kun actually" said Kuroko. This caught Kise's attention back. 'Is Kurokochii going to reject me?" were the frantic thoughts of the blonde while waiting for the teal haired to finish.

"I don't want to lose Kise-kun too, not anymore" said Kuroko. Kise was stunned by Kuroko's proclamation. He could feel his cheeks burning upon hearing Kuroko. Those two pair of teal blue eyes shows that the owner didn't play with his words opting to bluntly say things and the sincerity of the words that was said. Kise couldn't ask for more, He is content by the answer for now. Hopefully in time Kuroko would like him also until that time comes he'll patiently wait for the other.

"Yes…I understand, sorry for wanting to answer my question whether you also felt the same way to me Kurokochii" said Kise, while scratching his cheeks.

'This is awkward, should've ask Kurokochii in some restaurant or the amusement park instead of doing it here" were the thoughts of the blonde before sighing.

They remain silent again before they heard the bell ring again meaning the break has ended.

"We should head back to class neh, Kise-kun" said Kuroko. The blonde was snap out from his thoughts when he heard Kuroko calling him.

"Ah, Kurokochi.." he didn't finish saying because he notice the other is already gone probably use misdirection.

"Argh, so mean, Kurokochii leaving me behind" Kise pouted as he ran toward the door to chase after the teal haired teen.

"I don't want to lose Kise-kun too, not anymore" Kuroko's confession lingering in his mind though he isn't quite sure what it meant if that was a yer or no. 'Kurokochii' a smile form on his face when he thought about the small phantom player. He will make sure Kuroko was his.
