[Black Basket] Give me a chance to say I love you

When Kuroko returned to the room in a daze, Akashi was still sitting quietly in the living room alone, facing the dark world outside the French windows, not knowing what he was thinking.

Thinking about it, I really never understood what these outstanding people were thinking.

Whether it's Midorima-kun, Akashi-kun, or even Kise-kun, Aomine-kun, and Murasakihara-kun...

It turned out that without their tolerance, I couldn't do anything.

And maybe the only person who can support me no longer belongs to me...

"Heizi." A somewhat icy voice sounded, and Heizi subconsciously raised his head to look at the source of the voice on the sofa, but unexpectedly saw a touch of red that was different from the usual color.

Those eyes, which were always full of attack and danger, seemed to see through all his thoughts at once, and stared at him with compassion like a god.

Even though it was only a flash, Heizi still couldn't help venting out his self-blame and helplessness.

"Akashi...kun...sorry..." Kuroko couldn't help apologizing subconsciously, "Sorry..."

"Why do you apologize?" Akashi's voice was as indifferent and unmoved as always, distant yet seemed close at hand.

"Because..." Heizi's blue eyes fell down involuntarily, staring fixedly at the foot of the table not far away, but he couldn't tell what the reason was.

"If you are talking about tonight, there is no need to apologize to me. At least personally, I also feel that Takao and Shintaro are hiding too much from each other. They keep each other too deliberately. distance, so that some things that should be understood are resisted."

"Hey..." Seeing that Akashi didn't blame himself for his own assertion, Kuroko suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth, still hesitating, "But...Midorima-kun's attitude is very firm...He even...to Takao-kun..."

"When will Shintaro not be like this, too rigid and duplicity, sooner or later he will suffer." Akashi looked out of the window again, as if he saw something that made him care, "Kuroko, we have no right to interfere. Many At that time, all we need to do is to plant a seed. As for whether it can bear fruit or not, it still depends on the chance. You have planted the seed. As for whether Shintaro will choose to avoid it like he did in his previous life, or make up his mind to go over it, we just need to Just look at it."

"I know……"

"By contrast, there's one other thing you might need to know."

While talking, the door of the outer corridor suddenly slammed loudly, and Heizi turned his head when he heard the sound, and after a while, he saw a menacing black figure rushing in like a gust of wind.

"Snapped--"

A pen-shaped object was thrown on the table, and due to the huge momentum, it rolled towards the other side of the table, and was caught by a slender finger just as it was about to fall off the table.

"What is this?" The red eyes carefully looked at the pen holder that was pinched by his own fingers, and then threw it on the carpet beside him, "I remember I said, 'Everything must be cleaned' , are you resisting me by doing this?"

"How could it be..." Gao Wei leaned against the sofa cushion opposite, and let out a long sigh of relief, "You should know that no matter how hard I try, it is impossible to fundamentally erase their existence, so, It’s better to leave this matter to someone who can solve it cleanly.”

Hearing this, Akashi raised his eyebrows once.

"Of course, Master Akashi will not be allowed to contribute in vain. The Nanase family can be regarded as a family with a very solid foundation, especially some transactions with foreign countries in private... If it weren't for these things, Midorima-kun's parents probably would have You won't keep asking Midorima-kun to treat Nanase-san well?"

"Eh?! Midorima-kun's parents want Midorima-kun to chase...that black-haired girl that day?!" Heizi, who had been quietly watching the interaction between the two, exclaimed, "How come... Takao-kun Did you already know..."

"Well, of course I know, or in other words, no one knows better than me what kind of people the parents of the Midori family are like... Well, let's not mention this for now, if Heizi has time, he might as well read this first." He took out the notebook that Akashi had given him earlier and threw it to Kuroko, who no longer looked at the notebook hesitantly, Takao turned to Akashi on the opposite side again, "Akashi-kun, how about such a generous gift?"

On the opposite side, Akashi was still looking at Takao indifferently, with his arms in front of him still casually draped, like a stone statue that stood firm through the years, without nodding or shaking his head.

"Hey... Isn't this enough? Master Akashi really has a big appetite..." Takao sighed with a look of "That's right", then bent over to pick up the dropped recording from the ground with some distress The pen was put back in the center of the table, "It is expected, so how about adding some more detailed information about the so-called crossing? Although it is not that important, it is still interesting, especially some of it is about The information from the different space may even have something to do with our...appearance~"

Takao raised the corners of his lips innocently, and slightly shook the hand holding his cheek, not minding a face-to-face eye contact with the emperor in front of him.

With slender fingers, he picked up the plain recording pen from the table, and slowly put it into the pocket of his jacket.

"Then tell me about your plan."

An emotionless smile appeared on Takao's face.

"Well, if I remember correctly, at this time, Midorima-kun's parents should also be looking for an engagement partner for Midorima-kun, and Nanase-san, whose family relationship is so close to Midorima's, is probably happy?"

————&—————

In the early morning of the next day, the morning training of the basketball club of the University of Tokyo was still as intense as usual. The only surprise was probably Kise who finally returned to daily training from the announcement but was steadfastly entangled with another person.

"Little Takao~ It's really been a long time~~~ Obviously the filming is over, why every time I call Xiao Takao, Xiao Takao doesn't answer, it really worries me a lot!"

"I'm sorry, because something happened a few days ago, I haven't carried my mobile phone with me recently, and I have kept it with Amu. I guess he was too busy to see it. Come to think of it, why don't Kise not go to training?" ?”

The weight on Takao's neck didn't seem to affect Takao's work of continuing to time the strength training. I saw Takao timing Aomine who was doing an acceleration test in the field in front of him, while recording something on the clipboard, and at the same time, he responded with a kind attitude. Listening to Kise's chattering words.

"I'm really exhausted recently, where did I find the strength to train when I came back~ Xiao Chi and Xiao Lu are always so strict, but the body really can't bear it..."

"Because there is another match. As the captain and vice-captain, of course they will not let up, and Kise will be more considerate. Speaking of Midorima-san walking over, Kise will be caught for being so blatantly lazy. "Takao Dekong tapped the head resting on his neck with the pen in his hand, the smile on his face remained the same as before.

Like chocolate that had been stuck together for too long, it was pasted into an indescribably awkward color.

Little Takao...

Covering his thoughts, Kise tightly hugged Takao's arm with a face of panic and surprise, and his whole body stuck to Takao's body like a koala.

"Eh? Eh! Don't! I haven't rested yet, Takao-chan, hurry up and help cover!"

"You know it's useless Kise, what are you still afraid of, go to training obediently~"

"Don't! I'm really tired!"

"Kise!" While Kise was complaining, Midorima, whose face was turning black into charcoal, had already come in front of the two of them.

"Little...Little Midorima...I'm really tired..." Kise pouted and looked at Midorima with tears in her eyes, "How can I train if I'm not in good shape...let me take a good rest... ..."

"Oh, since you're in a bad state, let's tell Akashi to cross your name off the starting lineup." Midorima didn't refute, just narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded as a matter of course, and was about to sit on the rest bench Akashi walked over.

"Wait! Wait! Little Midorima... I suddenly feel that I am in good shape! Ahaha! It's really super good!" Kise, who was poked by Midorima's move and burst into tears, looked at Midorima without the slightest hesitation The back, could not help howling and rushed over, making Takao, who was looking at Kise behind him, chuckle.

Midorima really hit Kise's weakness this time~

Suddenly, there was an unexpected loud shout from the venue in front of him——

"Kise! Come and accompany me oneonone!"

Midorima who was walking forward, Kise who was howling, and Takao who was smiling couldn't help turning their heads and turned to the source of the sound, but just in time to see a ball infused with great strength in the air heading towards the hand with the sound of breaking the wind. Takao ran forward in a daze, still holding a timer and a clipboard.

"Little Takao—!"

And Takao was staring at the ball, his eyes involuntarily opened the eagle's eyes, trying to judge the direction of the ball.

Reach out to pick it up?If it was the previous self, there would probably be no problem with it, but with the strength of his current hand, he would definitely be injured by the huge impact force, and he might even break his bones... Do you want to bend over and dodge?This kind of high-projection ball is similar to Green Room's full-court shot. It will only fall from a position close to the top, and at such a fast speed, it is estimated that no matter which direction you hide, you will undoubtedly be caught. hit it...

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Kise who was beside him, and a trace of understanding appeared on Takao's face.

Is Aomine-kun venting his anger...?

Slightly biting his lower lip, Takao decided to turn to the right side more, even if he was hit, his back would probably be bruised for a few days.

Thinking of this, Takao has already bent his body slightly, his eyes are still paying attention to the direction the ball is coming from, but his body has moved quickly to the right——

The soft temperature seemed familiar. Before Takao was surprised, a strong force from his waist quickly brought him over, and his whole body was attached to a soft body. At the moment the nerves were short-circuited, Takao heard a clear sound of a hand above his head. The clack of the ball.

Is the ball opened?Was it the person who hugged him?

The nose is tightly pressed against the slightly stiff fabric of the sweatshirt, and the smell of sweat from strenuous exercise hits the face, but there is no unpleasant smell, but the faint smell of soap on the clothes faintly hooks A subconscious response to the sense of smell.

this person……

The waist was slowly released, and Takao, who was still a little dazed, took a step back subconsciously, then raised his head slightly to look at the other party, pushed his glasses with his fingers still awkwardly, and then hesitated for a while with a hint of warmth in his green eyes. Ask: "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Takao who was asked was stunned for a moment, and answered almost stammeringly:

"No...no...many, thank you..."

No, something is wrong, why did Midorima come to protect herself?I always feel that there seems to be something that I have overlooked, what is it...

The author has something to say:

There is a reason for it...
