A month later, Daiki recovered almost fully, I went to some of his games in the past. I could say he's an amazing player. It was starting to get cold as it was fall.

Daiki wore a light jacket that he didn't zip up, as so I, except I zipped up my jacket and wore a scarf.

Daiki and I took a walk out in the cold weather, arm in arm as I kind of cuddled up to him. Being in a relationship already, was weird. Cuddling, was weird to me.

I took a long sigh before I heard a yell, "A-Aomine!" Both of us looked over our shoulder to the source, seeing a tall high-schooler along with a shorter one, holding a dog.

Daiki's calm face turned to a scowl as soon as he saw the taller one. "Hello, Aomine-kun." The light-blue haired boy greeted.

"I challenge you to a one versus one!" He pointed at Daiki, holding a basketball in his hand.

"Oi, Kagami, really? I'm with someone right now." Daiki reasoned, rubbing the back of his neck as he nervously glanced at me. I shook my head and mouthed, "it's alright".

"Alright, Kagami. I accept the challenge. The only one who can beat me, is me." He smirked.

What the...hell...?

"Give me five minutes tops, I'll be back." He whispered before throwing me his jacket. Which landed on my head.

I sat next to the light-blue haired boy and his dog, which I found out their names are Kuroko Tetsuya, the boy; Tetsuya #2, also known as Nigou, the dog.

I also found out that Kuroko is an old friend of Daiki, that he went to the same middle school. Plus, he had to say the same as Momoi.

So...you were happier before, Daiki...I wonder what it's like...

I chatted with Kuroko for a bit, playing with Nigou.

"So, what do you do in school, (Last Name)-san?" He asked, holding Nigou as he came over and licked my cheek. I giggled, holding Nigou, "I'm the Student Body President."

"No, I meant any clubs? What do you enjoy doing?" He slightly tilted his head, I took a deep sigh and stared into his crystal-clear irises.

"I don't have any hobbies, I'm just...around, y'know?"

"I hope you find something to like, (Last Name)-san." He smiled as Nigou ran back and forth between us. Both, Kuroko and I heard yelling in defeat from Kagami.

Kuroko looked over at the two and smiled, hearing that they were going for another game, "I'm surprised Aomine-kun finally found someone he really likes. I'm happy for him."

"Yeah...you would think he'd be rougher, but he isn't. He's really sweet when you think about it." I smiled as well, earning another kind one from Kuroko.

"Argh! One more!" I heard Kagami shout again, his fists clenched as his legs were spread wide apart, I sighed and felt a itchy feeling in my nose. I tilted my head upwards as my mouth gaped open by itself.

I knew what was coming, so I quickly covered my nose and mouth with my sleeve and sneezed. I felt a chill run up my spine afterwards, making me shiver. "Bless you, (Last Name)-san." Kuroko handed me a tissue, which I quickly took to blow my nose. "Th-Thank you, Kuroko..."

It's getting really cold...

"Sorry, Kagami." Daiki said quickly as he ran over to me, taking his jacket. He quickly threw it over my shoulders, "Wear it."

"But...your nose is red and you'll catch a cold-"

"Your nose is red, too."

"Daiki, I'm fine." I looked up at him, sniffling. He groaned and looked elsewhere, a pink hue crawling onto his cheeks, "I-I'm just trying to help..."

I pursed my lips at his rejected effort and sighed, taking off my scarf. I breathed out again, causing a puff of steam to come out.

"Come here." I ordered softly, he reluctantly came and sat next to me. I wrapped the scarf around the both of us, soon after telling him to put on his jacket.

Kuroko, smiled.

Nigou, barked.

Kagami, almost threw up.

I was never too big on P.D.A. but, since you're being stubborn about warmth, we'll share our warmth. We'll be together, forever. Okay? Always together.
