From : Kise Routa
Aominechi.. where are you? Kurokochi have been release from hospital. We choose to try other method on treating Kurokochi since the hospital have loose hope on him. They said Kurokochi can't survive. There is no way we will believe in that. Kurokochi is strong!
Anyways, I think Kurokochi is missing both of you. Maybe you should come for a visit..?
"No way..." Pain look stung on Aomine's face as he read the massage.
He can't believe that the hospital have loose hope on Kuroko. That means Kuroko will die.
He grips hard his other hand.
"What should I do?! Dammit!!" Aomine feels that he is at loss.
====================================================
"Wow! You manage to finish them all. I'm glad" Kagami says with amusement.
"I'm feeling a bit hungry today." Kuroko comments as he hide his blush on Kagami's statement.
"You have not eating well these passed days, no wonder you're feeling hungry. It's a good news though. You have you appetite back." Kagami grins.
"yeah" Kuroko replies silently.
"Do you want anything? I can cook more." Kagami asks.
"For now I'm already full. But can I have vanilla milkshake?" Kuroko's face is full of hope.
"That is not something I can cook, baka." Kagami sighs. Kuroko and his obsession on milkshake can't be beat.

Kuroko's face change into a sad one, just like a kid didn't get any candy.
Kagami put his hand on Kuroko's head,rub it softly. Shock with the sudden movement, Kuroko rises his head and look at Kagami with question look.
"You know, lately I can read your facial expression well." Kagami smiles and he continues "Don't worry, I will ask for Murasakibara to make it. I heard that he good at it right?"
"Is he here? Aren't he have school today?" Kuroko look at the doorway, search for anyone but no one there.
"He is still at school. Three hour more and he will be here. Can you wait for a little longer?" Kagami asks.
"Okay" Kuroko gives a small smile.
"Maybe you should take a rest after eating this medicines." Kagami gives the medicines with a glass of water.
"I wonder when I can stop eat all of these. They are bitter" Kuroko complains. He look at the multiple type of medicines in Kagami's hand with a sigh. All of them with different look and color.
"You really are acting like a kid now. Of course they are bitter, bitter thing is the most effective. We want you to get well fast, so you need to endure this for a little longer. Once you are fine, we will stop this okay?" Kagami tries to persuade Kuroko, not to mention he also complains at Kuroko's behavior. But he is glad that Kuroko is depending on them more now, this means that Kuroko is believing them. He never feel that Kuroko is a burden, he is gladder that he can take care of Kuroko.
"Fine then" Kuroko pouts.
Blush at the sight, Kagami adds with his tease. "You can pout" He laughs loudly.
"Stop that... I said stop" Kuroko's face is really red, embarrass with Kagami's tease. He put his small hand on Kagami's mouth to stop the man laugh but Kagami continues to laugh.
Feeling that his effort at waste, Kuroko sit back at his bed then he eat all the medicines with an angry look. He lay on his bed, turn his body the opposite side of Kagami, pull the blanket up to his shoulder and close his eyes although his face still wearing an angry look. He ignore Kagami completely.
Kagami on the other side stop his laugh when he didn't hear anything from Kuroko. He open his eyes only to look at Kuroko's back. 'eh?'
"Are you asleep already?" Kagami asks in confusion.
"....." Kuroko keeps his mouth shut.
"Don't tell me that you are sulking with me.." Kagami start to feel uneasy.
"....." The same replies.
"Hey Kuroko, I was joking. You're not sulking are you?" Kagami tries again.
"......" still the same answer.
"Kuroko!" Kagami pull Kuroko's shoulder, so that Kuroko will look at him.
"Put.Your.Hand.Off.Me" Kuroko says with a warning look.
Instantaneously, Kagami pull his hand off Kuroko.
Kuroko change back his position in the same position as before. Again, he is ignoring Kagami completely.

Taken back of Kuroko's scary look, Kagami froze there for who know how long.
===============================================
"We are back!" Kise shouts as he and the other entering the house. They just come back from school.
No answer.
"Where are Kagami and Kuroko?" Midorima asks. All of them look around to search for Kuroko or Kagami figure but fail to notice any.
"Maybe they are inside the room?" Murasakibara lazily question.
"Yes, Murasakibara-kun is right. Maybe we should check there" Akashi says as he makes his way to Kuroko's room. However, he notice some gloomy aura at the corner of the room. He turns to look what it is.
"Kagami-kun?" Akashi questions which hear more like a statement.
The other look at the same place.
"Kagamichi.. What are you doing there alone? What with that aura around you?" Kise asks Kagami as he walk nearing Kagami.
"I'm dead.. I'm dead.." Kagami repeating the words as he look so gloomy.
"What is he mumbling?" Midorima asks.
"I can't hear it clearly too.. wait, I can hear the word dead. Who is dead?" Murasakibara says with a confuse look.
"Hey Kagamichi.. Are you okay?" Kise shake Kagami's body, tries to take Kagami's attention but still, Kagami is looking at the ground while repeating the same word.
"I will search for Kuroko-kun" Akashi says as he continues his way to Kuroko's room. The other look at him for a while and turn back their attention on Kagami.
"Kagamichiiii!" Kise shout at Kagami.
Kagami slowly look at Kise. "What do you want? Leave me alone!" Kagami says with frustrate look.
"What has happen?" Kise asks.
"Kuroko." Kagami answers shortly.
"What happen to Kuroko?" Midorima demand for explanation.
"I have made him angry. He is so scary!" Kagami puts both of his hand on his ear, frustrating.
".....Ehh?" The three of them look at Kagami like he have three head.
=======================================
All of them is taking dinner together on the dining table. Everyone look happy and enjoy their meals accept for a certain red head. Yes, Kagami. He keep repeating the same movement : looking at his meal, eat, then he secretly take a look on Kuroko. He tries to talk to Kuroko but every time its fail. Either he being border by his guilt or Kuroko not responding to him.
'What should I do!!' Kagami screams inside.
Then a though happen to pass on his mind. He smiles at this 'Yes! The milkshake! He will forgive me if I give the milkshake right? Or he will not? But nothing will change if I didn't try.'
He rises up from his chair and go to Murasakibara. Whisper a few things to convince the man so that he will make the milkshake, and without a fail he get it.
"I will do it!" Murasakibara says with full happiness. Murasakibara get up from his seat and go to the kitchen, singing a small hum.
'Yes! Now I just have to give it to him.' Kagami thoughts happily.
"I think something is wrong with Kagamichi. This afternoon he is gloomy but now he is smiling by himself. Is he really alright?" Kise gives a confuse look.
"Maybe he is slowly becoming a crazy people." Midorima states with not care look.
"I am thinking what have he done to you that make you feel so angry at him, Kuroko-kun" Akashi asks Kuroko.
"Nothing" Kuroko simply replies.
"Is it really nothing?" Akashi still curious.
"Yes." And again Kuroko with his simple answer.
Akashi sighs.
"Kaga-chin! It's done!" Murasakibara announces. Hearing this, Kagami instantaneously run toward the kitchen.
"Thanks a lot Murasakibara. Here is the coupon" Kagami gives Murasakibara what he have promise to that purplish man.
"Yay! I can't wait for tomorrow."Murasakibara happily cheer as he go back to the dining table.
"Now I need to make it look more delicious." Kagami starts to decorate the milkshake with other things.
Murasakibara sits on his chair and continue to eat his meal with a big smile on his lips.
"What are you doing a while ago Murasakibarachi?"Kise asks.
"Milkshake" Murasakibara replies with mouth full of food.
"Eh? For what?" Kise asks but before anyone could answer that question, Kagami is standing beside Kuroko and calling for that bluenette name.
"Kuroko.. this noon you have ask for milkshake right? Here." Kagami says as he wait for the blunette response.
But no response.
"Kuroko.. please look at this way" Kagami begs.
Still, no response.
Sighing, he put the milkshake in front of Kuroko.
As Kuroko sees the milkshake in front of him, his feeling is wavering. His eyes look in delight. But he is still sulking with Kagami so he choose not to slurp the drink.
He is holding himself so hard.
It's so hard to holding still.
His right hand move by its own to reach for the milkshake.
But he moves his left hand to stop his right hand. He close his eyes so that he can't see that milkshake anymore.
But...after a while, his right eyelid open, looking at the milkshake again. He is gulping his saliva.
"pfft... hahahahaha" The others start to laugh, watching Kuroko's funny expression. Kagami too. Akashi just smile.
Kuroko on the other half start to blush in embarrassment, face change into an angry one. He stops his track on thinking about the milkshake, he puts his hands on the wheelchair tires and make his way to his bedroom, ignoring everyone.
"You guys should stop now. Kuroko-kun have left." Akashi says with a sigh.
This stop them instantaneously.
"Ehhhh?!!"
"no way.." Kagami slaps himself for repeating the same mistake.
I am sorry for the late update.
I forgot to mention that the people who lives with Kuroko are the Kiseki no Sedai, Ogiwara and

I'm writing fiction. But I'm not a writer, I'm just a reader. :) P.s ------------------------------------------------- Story Progress: 1. Blurb is fulfilled on Chapter Three and Chapter Four 2. Story Arc One, The Savior is fulfilled on Story Arc Five 3. Yes, there is fighting scenes. Three Calamities have been Eliminated in Dandia -- The wide island. 4. The prologue is nearing to begin. 5. Too many conflicts. ------------------------------------------------- Past tense - When I just narrate a past without much actual actions. I mean like a news, or just telling or reporting the past. Present tense - Current event. And flashback with actions. I love flash fiction so world building is not on this story, like narrating a room, narrating a character's traits, etc. As possible, I want them to think, have their decision, etc. etc. etc. etc. Hallo guys, Help me locate my typos on Story Arc 5. I still don't want to edit Story Arc 1-4. I can't wait to reach story arc Chapter Six(I won't spoil). My outlines and very huge flowcharts are waiting. Sorry, about that, I can understand English without format so, each time I'm looking for typos I was hooked in my story and I didn't realize I forgot about them.
