"What do you mean he's a demon? He's way too happy for something like that, isn't he? Your senses must be broken or something, Tetsu" Aomine commented a little more than a month later, when he, Kagami, and Kuroko had headed to a court near their houses to play around a little bit. Kise had been trying to spend more and more time with him lately; bringing him out for dinner, to movies, out shopping, so Kuroko had decided to bring it up to Aomine and Kagami.

"You mean that blonde guy Momoi's been hanging out with? I agree; I only met him for a little bit, and I don't like him much, but he's way too energetic to be a demon. Or a good one, anyways; aren't they supposed to be big and bad and all that?" Kagami added as he smoothly made a shot at the hoop, where Aomine took it and started dribbling easily towards the other end of the court.

Kuroko, who was wiping the sweat from his head with a towel shook his head "Not always. If they're around humans, sometimes they'll act differently than they would normally. Besides, when I was talking to him afterwards, he was a little bit more serious" he explained quietly, thinking back to the bubbly demon absentmindedly.

"But I like Kurokocchi! It's fine as long as I'm not stirring up any trouble, right? I'll be good, I promise!" He remembered him saying, and his brow creased the slightest bit in confusion. There must be something he wanted from Kuroko, but he couldn't for the life of him figure out what it'd be. Sure, he was the angel that could disappear at will, and he knew that was a skill exclusive to him, but he didn't find it as special as, say, Akashi's ability to see into the future.

The buzzing of a cell phone on the bench beside where Kuroko was sitting made him sigh and shake the thoughts from his head. He'd figure it out sooner or later, and until then, he could handle it if Kise broke his promise and started causing problems for him. "Kagami-kun, that's your phone" he called over to the red head as he and Aomine walked over to the bench. "It's just Alex. She's whining because she wants me to stop at the store and pick her up some ice cream is all. I probably should get going though" he admitted with a shrug, looking up at Aomine with a glare when the dark skinned man made a whipping sound and started to laugh.

Looking between the two as they began to argue heatedly, Kuroko frowned "You should get back home soon too, Aomine-kun. I bet Momoi-san would like some help with the twins" he interjected, smiling in amusement when Aomine rolled his eyes and huffed "Yeah, yeah, I know. I was just about to go back too" he shot back, arms crossed.

Just as the trio was exiting the courts, a familiar, bright voice called at them from across the street and Kise easily jogged over, grinning happily. "Kurokocchi! I can't believe I met up with you like this! It must be my lucky day or something!" he chirped, pulling the smaller blue haired man into a tight embrace. "Kise-kun, would you please let go of me already?" Kuroko sighed, prying himself away from the demon with a frown.

"Oi, Kise! What're you doing here?" Aomine growled, taking a step closer to Kise and narrowing his eyes. "Oh, Aominecchi and Kagamicchi are here too! Momocchi was looking for you Aominecchi; she said that you're a jerk that never answers his phone, and that she's going to throw away your dinner if you don't get home soon" was all Kise replied with before turning his attention back to the petite angel "But anyways, Kurokocchi; you should come walk with me for a while!" he continued, tilting his head to the side hopefully.

Both Kagami and Aomine were about to object to the idea, but Kuroko shrugged and nodded "I suppose. Not for long though, okay?" he replied with a polite little nod, and had to quickly step to the side to avoid Kise tackling him again.

After telling him to call if Kise tried anything funny, Kuroko parted ways with a reluctant Aomine and Kagami, and followed a little ways behind a brightly smiling Kise, watching him carefully as he did so. "I'm really happy you decided to come! For a minute I thought you were going to say no!" Kise babbled, before looking over his shoulder at Kuroko and noticing the calculating frown the blue haired was giving him.

"W-what's with that face? You don't look happy at all!" Kise commented, smiling nervously at his smaller companion, slowing his pace to match Kuroko's so that they were walking side by side. For a moment, Kuroko didn't reply; just continued to watch him contemplatively before sighing "I'm only trying to figure out what you want from me. Why do you want to keep spending time with me?" Kuroko asked, his face smoothing into a complete dead pan expression.

It didn't take Kise very long at all to pull Kuroko into his arms and rest his cheek on top of Kuroko's head "I told you, it's because I like Kurokocchi!" he exclaimed, though the smile that Kuroko couldn't see was more lustful than anything. "Yes, I remember you saying that." The angel replied, sounding unconvinced as they rounded a corner and the blonde pinned him up against the wall and buried his face in Kuroko's neck. "No, Kurokocchi…I love you" Kise replied easily, though Kuroko's face didn't change as he tried to push the blonde away from him.

"That's very bold for you to say. However, if you don't mean it, you shouldn't say something like that." He replied blankly, slipping away from Kise and crossing his arms. "What if I do mean it though?" Kise asked with a little pout that looked a little more serious than Kuroko would've liked.

The blue haired shook his head quickly and began to walk away from the demon "If you do mean it, then I'd have to tell you that I don't at all feel the same way about you. I'm sorry, but I'm going to go home now" He told Kise, who stopped trying to catch up with him and watched as he walked away before disappearing completely.

Back on the street, the blonde smiled devilishly and chuckled to himself "I'm sure you'll love me soon enough though; don't worry about that, my little angel…" he murmured slyly before turning to walk back the way he'd come.

A/N: Yeah, I know this one is short, but the next one is going to be longer, I promise! It might not be up until sometime next week though depending on how much homework my teachers throw at me for over the weekend. Hope you enjoyed it~
