That evening, Aomine and Momoi come again to visit Kuroko. This time to talk about their problem. They sit confronting each other. Momoi is obviously nervous about this. Kuroko look didn't even care about it while for Aomine, he look trouble.
"So, what are you two want to talk about?" Kuroko asks, starting the conversation.
"Um.. It's about our relationship" Momoi answers.
Kuroko take a look at Momoi for few seconds before he says "Continue"
"Tetsu, I can't accept your decision." Aomine states.
"Why is that so? I think you two suit each other and you have wait for this right?" Kuroko calmly says. No wavering, no sadness in his tone.
"I'm too selfish back then. I'm regretting my action. I am sorry, Tetsu" Aomine bows at Kuroko, wanting Kuroko's forgiveness.
"You're not at fault. Everything that happen before is because of me." Kuroko says as he turns his head toward the window.
"No! You're not at fault!" Both Aomine and Momoi shout. Desperately want to change Kuroko's thought.
Kuroko turns to them with a shock expression. He never thought that they going to shout that loud.
"Tetsu-kun, I am sorry for leaving you behind. My body just move by itself. That time, I just have one thought, I don't want to lose anyone. I..I still loves you!" Momoi cries.
"I should think about Satsuki and your feeling first. But that time my jealousy control me. I am sorry for being selfish. You shouldn't change yourself because of me. You shouldn't make that decision. Decision on abandon your feeling. That the worst choice ever!" Aomine says with a loud voice. His face show how regret he is.
Kuroko silent himself.
"I'm okay and I approve your relationship with Satsuki. I will give full support on both of you. But please Tetsu.. Forgive me and think back about your decision." Aomine adds.
"You're wrong" Kuroko states
"Wrong? What do you mean?" Aomine asks. This also making Momoi curios.
"When I said that I want to break up with Momoi-san, I don't do it only because I sympathize at you, Aomine-kun. I make it because I can see, how care Momoi-san is toward you. I think her love for me is just a love for someone she adore, she look up too. Not a love for a person who she truly in love with. The moment she run over you, my heart already could feel it."Kuroko says with a small smile, look like a line only.
"No! No, Tetsu-kun! I- I didn't mean it. I- I love you..." Momoi didn't finish her speak yet Kuroko continues.
"And I could feel... Myself either just want an attention from someone. It's not supposed to be you, it can be others but since you treat me every day, the feeling goes to you."
Momoi froze, Aomine too.
Kuroko smiles sadly and apologies. "I am sorry for tricking you, Momoi-san"
"You are joking, right? T-T-Tetsu-kun will never do that.. "Momoi begins to tremble.
"You just want to let us feel at ease right, Tetsu? I can see how you love her back then. My eyes can't be fooling me." Aomine can't belief about what Kuroko have said before.
"Like I said before, I also being fooled by my own feeling. The truth is my love toward Momoi-san is a different one. Not a true one." Kuroko denies everything that Aomine says.
"Why?!!!" Momoi screams, she feel that she being fool, by someone she truly adore.
Aomine hugs Momoi's body, trying to calm her shaking body.
"I am sorry" Kuroko just can say sorry this time.
"You're cruel Tetsu-kun!!!" Momoi screams for the last time before she push Aomine away and run out, exiting the room.
"Satsuki!!" Aomine calls for Momoi and run for her. Not before looking at Kuroko with unreadable look.
Kuroko just let his head down. He sure, if he see this, he can't release Momoi anymore. He need to do this. He need to be strong. For his friends' sake.
