Broken Promise [Kuroko no Basket Fanfic]

Chapter 22

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Uh.... guys" Kuroko said, patting the backs of his team mates and friends awkwardly. They have been in this position for the last ten minutes, and none of them looks like they want to move.... except Kuroko that is "Mind letting me go now?"

Sakura chuckled from the couch when the boys shook their heads at him, and only tightened their hold on him, making Kuroko sigh "We've been in this position for the past ten minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if we pull back and switch faces, you've been hugging me and scrubbing your ugly faces against mine that I'm starting to fear what will happen if we really do switch faces. I mean... look at me, I'm gorgeous" he joked and gestured towards the faces of his friends "And you're...." Kuroko trailed off while looking at his team mates with mock sympathy "I'm sorry for the word..... ugly, yes that's what you are" he teased at the now pouting boys, who is still in fact smothering Kuroko to death

"You're so mean, Tetsuya" Akihito whined, and to Kuroko's relief, letting him go on the process, and punching him on the arm lightly "Since when have you learned to use sarcasm?"

Kuroko smirked and gasped at him dramatically "How could you say that Akihito?! For your information, I do know how to use it, just too lazy to be humorous..." he trailed off, and smirk at his team mates who just rolled their eyes at him. Kuroko felt renewed and energetic knowing that he and Kagami are in good terms again... and maybe this is why he is the complete opposite of his personality right now.

"Now, mind letting me go now?" Kuroko asked the still remaining Koalas, who are latching at his arms and body like it's their lifeline

The rest pouted at him but let go, with the exception of Tatsuya who instantly let go when Kuroko asked if they can let him go earlier "Why are you in such a good mood suddenly? A few minutes ago, you looked like you wanted to skin us alive and throw us off the building, now you look like you just won a lottery or something" Tsubaki grumbled, still not happy that Kuroko made them let go. Tsubaki might act tough and bad ass, but in reality..... he is a bit of a baby, juts like the rest of the group when it comes to Kuroko, again with the exception of Tatsuya

Kuroko chucked and patted Tsubaki's shoulder lightly while grinning at the man with exuberant eyes "I'm just happy at the moment, is all"

Tsubaki frowned "Why?"

Kuroko grinned "I made up with my best friend"

Tsubaki's frowned deepened, he was their best friend!! "Do you mean us, or.......... someone else?" Ray asked beside Tsubaki, also frowning like the rest of the group, with the exception of Sakurai, Tamaki, Tatsuya and the girls

Kuroko's grin didn't fall, and he didn't seem to catch the jealousy in the tone of Ray and Tsubaki "Kagami" he said, his grin turning into a smile "I made up with Kagami"

"You sound so happy" Azusa said, pouting at Kuroko and crossing his arms "Well of course I'm happy! I mean, Kagami was like my brother when we were still in high school, and I was really upset when I left him when we were still in bad terms, so knowing that he and I are now in good terms, makes me happy. You apologizing to me and promising to apologize to my maid was just an added bonus" Kuroko explained while smiling, remembering last night with his best friend

Sakura smiled from the couch and trudged over to where Kuroko was before wrapping her arms around him "Good for you love" she murmured

Kuroko smiled down at her and kissed her forehead, having to bend slightly because of the height difference "Thanks love"

Kuroko didn't noticed the jealous looks on his friends faces, again with the exception of Tamaki, Tatsuya and Sakurai "I don't like this" Azusa murmured to Ray
