Chapter 3: Confession?

A few weeks have passed since that day at the practice basketball game. Kuroko and you have seemed to grow closer, and everyone has noticed, considering you were always together.

"Oi! Where is _____-san?" Hyuuga practically yells as he bursts into your empty homeroom. Standing by your desk, you turn your head and see Hyuuga standing there with a tired and annoyed look. With  a sudden burst of speed he runs over to you and grabs your shoulders with a significant amount of force. It actually hurt a little bit.

"Where's Kuroko?" He asks as he stares down at you through the lenses of his glasses.

"H-huh?" You mumble as you wince from the pain in your shoulders. Hyuuga sees you are in pain immediately lets go and apologizes. Tears pricked your eyes, still feeling dull pain, but you laugh lightly at Hyuuga's rushed attitude.

A single tear rolls down your face as you rub the spot where Hyuuga's hands had gripped your shoulders. That was going to leave a bruise. Sighing, you look up at the basketball player and shake your head.

"Sorry, I haven't seen him since-" you pause, the blue haired teen walking into the classroom. Hyuuga smiles and runs up to Kuroko.

"Hey! I've been looking for you everywhere!" He exclaims, smiling with a competitive glare. "Riko got a practice match with Kise."

Kuroko looks up at him. "It's been a while since we have played against them."

Looking past Hyuuga, he gives you a gentle smile, but it vanishes when he sees the tear on your face. Pushing past Hyuuga, no longer caring about that topic, he cups your face. Wiping away the tear, he looks back at Hyuuga with a glare, immediately recalling the suspicious situation he'd found you in: Hyuuga's tall form towering over you, and your eyes brimming with tears.

"What. Did. You. Do?" If a look could kill, Kuroko had that look.  

"Wait Kuroko I-" you attempt to speak to him, trying to explain, but the blue haired male doesn't seem to hear you. With a few quick movements he steps forward and punches Hyuuga in the face, sending the senior flying back and landing on the floor with a loud smack.

Grimacing he stares up Kuroko with a defensive gaze.

"Bastard, what was that for?" He growls as he stands back up with the palm of his hand on his cheek.

Kuroko stares down with a sharp gaze, then turns around and grabs your hand. He pulls you out of the classroom and down the hall. Luckily you were already holding your backpack, but you were more concerned about how Kuroko is acting. This isn't like him.

Staring at the blue haired boy's back, you call out to him. "Kuroko… hey…. Kuroko!"

He doesn't seem to hear you. Kuroko just drags you away from the school. He runs for a long time, never letting go of your hand.

"Stop already!" You yell. "I'm tired!"

Kuroko ignores you, only stopping about ten minutes later in front of a tan-colored house.

"Kuroko?" You question as Kuroko lets go of your hand and rummages through his pocket, pulling out a ring of keys. Managing to find the right one, he opens the door and pulls you inside.

The interior of the house is quite… how would you describe it… cute? It almost looks like a house grandparents would own. Everything screams 'elderly', from the floral wallpaper, a dark red and brown rug, a tan linen couch, and even the flowery lampshades.

"Kuroko, where are we?" You ask as you look at the boy. He just stares at the ground, his eyes hidden by his hair. He doesn't respond, but grabs your hand, gently this time, and walks up the stairs. What's wrong with him? Why did he punch Hyuuga like that? It's not like he did anything wrong… Kuroko, talk to me.
