Obliviously Mine

Plot: Kuroko hid his slightly pink face in Imayoshi's chest when he realized that the Seirin team had been there the whole time. He wanted to hide from them and Imayoshi's smug smirk. Stupid bet!

Pairing: Imayoshi/Kuroko

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the story plot

AN: I fell in love with the pairing when I wrote the fifth chapter of my story, Time and Time Again. If you're interested, go to my page and read it. It's about time travel.

Hope you all enjoy~

Chapter 1

"Where'd Kuroko go?" Koga asked when he realized that bluenette really wasn't there.

"You mean he's not here anymore?" Koga shook his head at the question Riko directed at him. "I've been looking for him since training ended. He left his bag here." He lifted the blue sports bag.

"That's strange." Kagami commented. "He's usually the last one to leave the gym."

"You're right." Hyuuga agreed and looked at the bag speculatively. Kuroko was also not one to forget his things. "I wonder what made him leave earlier than usual."

Kiyoshi piped up. "Oh that's because he has a date with someone." He didn't notice how the team had snapped their heads at what he said.

Silence filled the whole gym and everyone stared at the "Iron Heart" for one whole minute before –

"WHAT?!" Everyone yelled in chorus.

Hyuuga smacked Kiyoshi at the back of his head. "Don't say stupid things like that idiot!"

"Eh? I'm serious." Kiyoshi said, rubbing his head in a soothing manner while he opened Kuroko's bag where he took the bluenette's cell phone from. He opened it and went to the inbox then looked for a particular message.

"Here it is! Look!" Everyone peered at the cell phone.

To: Kuroko Tetsuya

From: Unknown

Tet-chan, I'll pick you up at Maji Burger then we'll go to that Café that just opened like I promised. See you there~

"This is very rude of us to look into at his personal messages!" Izuki exclaimed, snapping the gadget shut and threw it back to the bag and zipped it shut.

"Well you guys wanted to know why left earlier than usual." Kiyoshi said. Hyuuga whacked the back of his head once again.

"He~y! Why'd you do that?"

"For looking at personal messages idiot."

"Well you looked too!

"You looked first."

"Shut up the both of you!" Riko yelled. Everyone was quiet and the tension was rising until their coach broke it. "Everyone's finished dressing up right?"

The team nodded.

"Take Kuroko's bag Kagami and everyone, we'll be following Kuroko and his mystery date!"

"Isn't it bad enough that we looked at his personal messages? Now we'll be stalking him at his date!" Koga said in worry. Mitobe and the other first years nodded in agreement.

"This is punishment for not telling any of us about this! What if he was dating some dude who can be a bad influence on him or is taking advantage of him?" Riko said with anger in her eyes. "This guy might not be good for Kuroko and it's our responsibility as his teammates to take good care of him."

"Don't you think we're going too far?" Kagami asked as he took the bag from Koga.

"No!" Riko snapped making the red head cringe.

"Now everyone let's go!" the team could only sigh and follow. As reluctant as they were to go, they were really curious as to whom Kuroko's date was.

Kuroko sipped his vanilla milkshake in remembrance when he realized that he had forgotten his bag at the gym. Oh well, he'll get it tomorrow.

He was sitting in his usual seat at Maji Burger, waiting for him.

The icy haired teen gulped the cold drink in annoyance though his face was still blank. At the interhigh preliminaries, he and the captain of Touou had made a bet. If his team won, the captain would treat him to vanilla milkshake for one whole month, no complaining whatsoever. And if the captain's team won, Kuroko would go on a date with him for a month starting today.

And Seirin lost so here he was.

"Have you been waiting here for long time?" A smooth voice asked from his right. Kuroko didn't need to look to know that the person he had been waiting for was here. "Unfortunately I had only noticed you now."

"Only for a few minutes." Kuroko answered in monotone before he started drinking his milkshake again.

"You're really fond of that drink aren't you?" Imayoshi chuckled, taking a seat across him.

Kuroko nodded. He didn't know why but when the captain gazed at him with that smirk-ish smile directed at the bluenette, he couldn't help but shiver.

"Well then, let's go Tet-chan." Kuroko pouted at the nickname Imayoshi used to address him. "It was part of the bet and you know it~ Now let's go."

Kuroko took his milkshake with him and left with the taller teen beside him.

"It's only a 5 minute walk from here to there." Imayoshi said as they started to walk. "It's a new café called 'Vanilla Kisses'. It's known abroad for its good vanilla pastries hence the name and the main courses there a good too. They also serve Vanilla milkshakes there."

The bluenette perked up with a cute hopeful look on his face making the captain smirk.

"With your short stature and cute face, and a promise of that milkshake, people would easily overcome you." Imayoshi commented.

"For you information I am not short, I'm just vertically challenged." Kuroko replied with his monotone. "And I'm not cute."

"Not denying about the milkshake, eh? Oh well, whatever you say Tet-chan." Kuroko pursed his lips at hearing the nickname making the other chuckle.

"You are enjoying this aren't you?" the bluenette said with a grudging tone.

"Of course I am."

Surprisingly, Kuroko found himself enjoying the presence of the Imayoshi. Their conversations were entertaining and though their personalities very much differed, they had the same opinions on some things and they were giving each other good advices.

"I suggest that you bring a jar of bees and show it to Aomine or put it in his locker." Kuroko recommended when Imayoshi had asked about how to tame the blue haired teen. "He has a fear of bees since one stung him as a child."

"Hm, I didn't know that." Imayoshi chuckled. "Good blackmail material. I suspect that you used that against him as well in your Middle School Years."

"Countless times." Kuroko said with a slight smile on his face. He looked at his companion and noticed that Imayoshi was staring at him. "Is there something on my face Imayoshi-kun?" He sipped his drink after asking this.

"Your smiles are very cute." The bluenette choked on his drink. "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"A-ah," Kuroko stuttered but still kept a mostly blank face with a tint of rosy pink on his cheeks. "I haven't heard that for a while."

"You certainly deserve to hear it more often." The Phantom sixth player didn't look at the face of Imayoshi because he might've seen the pink color darkening on his face.

"…Thank you." The tone he used might've sounded impassive but if you listened to it very closely or if you were as observant as Imayoshi, then you would have heard the endearment and sincerity in it.

"THE CAPTAIN, IMAYOSHI SHOICHI OF THE TOUOU TEAM!?" Kagami exclaimed loudly in surprise. The three first years had to jump and push the red head down and cover his mouth when the two people they were following (stalking) looked back. The Seirin team let out a sigh of relief when the two continued walking again.

"Bakagami, we're as surprised as you but don't scream so loud." Hyuuga muttered angrily.

When Kagami calmed down, the others let him go and he asked, "Why the heck is he dating that creepy guy?"

"I heard something about a bet in their conversation." Koga chirped out.

"A bet?" Riko asked. "I never heard of anything like that happening!"

"We'll probably have to ask Kuroko after his date." Izuki said before looking back at the two. "Look, they're going to the café!"

"Everyone get in as inconspicuously as possible!" RIko ordered. "Or else I'll triple your training tomorrow."

Imayoshi knew that there were many people following him and the bluenette on their way to the café. He didn't' mind really. This way, he could show who exactly Kuroko belonged to.

Even if the boy himself hadn't realized it yet.

"We're here." He opened the door and gestured for Kuroko to enter first. "After you."

He watched as the overly polite boy thanked him and entered, followed by him shortly.

They picked a table for two near the entrance and took a seat on two comfy chairs that were a little too soft in his opinion.

A waiter came to them and handed their menus and after a few minutes they ordered.

"I'll have the Linguini." Imayoshi said. "And water only."

"Salad and vanilla milkshake please." Kuroko said after he finished saying his order. The waiter nodded.

"We'll order desserts later." After he said that, the waiter left immediately.

"Imayoshi-kun I feel like we're being watched." Kuroko said with a usual straight face. "I can't just seem to know who's following us."

'I can.' The Touou captain thought as he subtly glanced at the far corner where a large group of people were covering their faces with the menus. 'They're not exactly inconspicuous about it.'

"I'm sure it's nothing to worry about Tet-chan." He smirked as the younger teen pouted at him once again. "Don't like your nickname Tet-chan? Then I'll call you kitty."

"Call me Tet-chan." Was the automatic reply.

"I knew you'd see it my way." Imayoshi grinned in self satisfaction. "Now how's practice been going? Don't worry I'm not trying to get information about your team little Tet-chan."

"Again, I'm not little Imayoshi-kun."

"Call me Shoichi or you can shorten it if you want." Imayoshi said, relaxing in his seat. "I know that my name can be a mouthful and I'd rather your mouth full of – "

"Please do not complete that sentence Ima – Shoichi-kun." Kuroko stumbled in his words because of what his companion was trying to imply.

"Eh? But why~?" Imayoshi asked playfully as gripped the other's teen a little tightly and brought him closer. He was now looking at the icy blue eyes. "You may not know it but you're – "

Suddenly, a fork was thrown at the taller teen and he had to pause to grab the utensil and throw it back quickly without Kuroko noticing.

"W-what was that?" Kuroko stuttered cutely, pulling back.

Imayoshi smiled. "Nothing. Just a fly."

"Erk!" Kagami mentally thanked whatever divine entity out there for his quick reflexes and was able to avoid the fork sent back their way. It hit the wall and left a mark.

"Good job Kagami!" Hyuuga said, patting the surprised red head on the back. "You were able to save Kuroko from being molested."

Kiyoshi sighed in relief. "That was really a close one. Who knows what Imayoshi-kun might've done?"

"We'll get him back somehow…." Riko said threateningly, a dark aura surrounding her figure.

"Don't you think coach is going too far…?" The three first years asked Izuki who just shrugged.

"Nothing's going too far for that girl when she sets her mind at something."

"Thank you for coming and have a good night sirs." A waitress said as she waved a goodbye at them.

"Thank you for the food." Kuroko said before walking with Imayoshi out of the café.

The bluenette looked at Imayoshi. "You should've let me pay my share as well Ima – Shoichi-kun. It's not fair on my part."

Imayoshi waved his hand nonchalantly. "It's alright, I don't mind. Now finish your milkshake."

"Hmm…" Kuroko huffed and indeed sipped his drink but did not finish it immediately. Actually, some of the drink leaked out of his mouth and dripped off his pink lips.

'I wonder…' Imayoshi looked curiously at the pouty lips that had a white substance dripping out.

"Is there something the matter Shoichi-kun?" The older teen smiled. At lease the bluenette was getting used to the first name basis.

"Nothing at all." He replied. "I really enjoyed tonight. I can't wait tomorrow's date."

"Ah," He watched as the blush returned to the teen's face. "I….. enjoyed it too."

He smirked victoriously. "That's good."

They walked in silence for a while, both enjoying the peacefulness and comfortableness between the two.

Both Kuroko and Imayoshi were used to having loudmouths with them all the time but now, they got to spend time with someone who was quiet but also good in conversations. It was a win-win situation for the both of them.

An idea suddenly came to mind. When they reached the park he started it.

The messy haired teen sneaked an arm behind Kuroko and tapped the shoulder farthest from him. When Kuroko looked away, Imayoshi put his head down and sipped what remained of the vanilla milkshake but was not able to get away fast enough for Kuroko to not notice him.

"Hey!" The captain of Touou smirked, the substance still in his mouth. Kuroko narrowed his eyes at him and pouted ever so cutely.

"Two can play at that game." Kuroko grabbed his school tie and pulled him down and their lips connected, with the bluenette's tongue lapping the milkshake from his mouth.

In an instance, Imayoshi pushed the bluenette to the nearest bench without breaking the sweet kiss but actually deepening it. It went on like this for what seemed like a life time before they both let go to take a breath.

"Heh," Imayoshi smirked. He lifted the bluenette's face and gesture for the teen to look to his right.

Kuroko did and immediately regretted what he did. There looking agape, was his basketball team!

Kuroko hid his slightly pink face in Imayoshi's chest when he realized that the Seirin team had been there the whole time. He wanted to hide from them and Imayoshi's smug smirk. Stupid bet!

"Don't think that this would be the last time we would do something like this." Imayoshi whispered to his left ear.

"You're mine. Even if you're still oblivious to it."

"Then you better help me realize it next time Sho-kun." Kuroko panted, his face still hidden.

The End.

OMAKE

"Riko what are you doing?" They watched as their coach pressed multiple buttons on her phone quickly.

"I'm sending the pictures I took during the date last night to the Generation of Miracles. Oh and the video of Imayoshi drinking the milkshake of Kuroko."
