"Roses are red

Violets are blue

Although we're friends

I still love you"

That was the poem that kept on returning to Kagami Taiga's mind. In the states, a lot of people would make up poems with the first two lines and complete it in their own way. For some reason, this was what kept on invading his thoughts, but he had no idea why. First of all, he loved someone? In his book, he has never liked a person before. Secondly, the second to the last line states that the person he has these "romantic" feelings for is a friend of his. He was sure that the whole "Roses are red and blah blah blah" part is connected.

"Hey Kagami."

In the background, there was a little voice, but Kagami paid it no mind, he had more pressing things to think about.

"Kagami!"

Still Kagami had no reaction when suddenly a ball was thrown to his head and he snapped back to reality.

"Oi! Who threw that?!" The red haired male roared at his teammates as he rubbed his sore head.

"Well it's your fault for not responding." A light blue male that was shorter than him stated with no emotion in his blue eyes.

"So it was you Kuroko!" Kagami yelled as he chased the weaker boy around the gym.

At the moment, the Seirin Basketball Team was having their usual practice, but couldn't continue due to one idiot not paying attention. Since everyone was too tired to do much damage, Kuroko decided to be the good friend he is and alert him in his own unique way.

"Ah, they're arguing." The other members sighed as they watched the two bicker like an old married couple.

"Just let them go." The team captain, Hyūga Junpei sighed. "Those two are the best of friends huh? Kagami is the only one that connects to Kuroko so well after all."

"What?" Kagami's ears perked at the sound of "friend" and realized that what the captain said was true. Especially since he's the one that Kuroko deemed as his "light".

"Does that mean I like him?"

The rest of the practice didn't go so smoothly. Due to his realization, Kagami had subconsciously avoided Kuroko the entire time. When Kuroko stole the ball and tried to pass it to Kagami, he would either dodge it or hide behind another member like a sissy. Everyone noticed that this was odd behavior coming from him and was quickly pissed off. Though most of all, Kuroko was practically seething.

When practice was over, Kuroko decided to confront Kagami in the locker room, but he ran away and headed for his apartment. The next day, Kuroko tried to speak to him at the beginning of class, but used the morning bell as an excuse to escape. Once Lunch arrived, Kagami had already left for the school shop and didn't return until it was over.

As each minute passed, Kuroko's temper only got worse. His speech was the same as always, but his expression was dark. If looks could kill, Kagami would have died by now.

Their upperclassmen had seen his behavior throughout the day and decided to let the two have some alone time as everyone else practiced. Using their authority, they locked the two of them inside the locker room with no other opening to use as an escape.

Now, Kagami had nowhere to run and was trapped from a pissed off Kuroko. His rage practically radiated from him at the moment.

"Kagami-kun." Kuroko glared at Kagami whom jumped in response. "Why have you been avoiding me?"

"Huh? I-I'm not." Kagami shifted his eyes to the side; there was no way he could lie in front of Kuroko.

Kuroko didn't answer; instead he just stared at him with his serious eyes. Of course within seconds, Kagami succumbed to him.

"I-It's just that…I realized something yesterday?" Kagami cursed himself. He sounded like a school girl confessing to her lifelong crush.

Kuroko only blinked, waiting for him to continue.

"Well…I think this would be enough as an answer." Kagami leaned forward, allowing his lips to brush along Kuroko's in a short and sweet kiss. Before Kuroko could respond to his brave action, Kagami took out a paper from his pocket with the poem on it. He blushed when he opened it and read the contents out loud. "Roses are red, violets are blue. Although we're friends, I still love you."

When he was finished, he waited for Kuroko's reaction, feeling like he could die from embarrassment. Finally, Kuroko whispered. "That's all?" He smiled softly at him.

"…What?" Kagami blinked, letting his words sink in.

"Jeez." Kuroko shook his head. "Only now you realized that you like me?" Kuroko questioned.

"…" Kagami nodded.

"Bakagami." Kuroko leaned in and kissed him again, except his was deeper and caused Kagami's blush to spread elsewhere. "You confessed to me in your sleep a while ago. I'm surprised you don't recall it."

"…Wait…so you knew?" Kagami asked and Kuroko nodded. Kagami hit his head against the floor. "I'm an idiot."

"Yeah…" Kuroko deadpanned. "But you're my idiot."

All Kagami did was blush.
