WORDS BETWEEN - - MEANS THOUGHTS
WORDS IN BOLD MEANS ENGLISH

After the match, it seems like Kuroko and Aomine will be staying with the team. "Eh? I haven't received my uniform yet." Kuroko asked.

Aomine flinched and Akashi just stared at the boy. "You were only able to wear a uniform in the tournament because the goal was to use only 1st years." Akashi explained.

Kuroko looked dejected. "Don't worry, Tetsuya. You'll get your uniform in the Spring." The redhead smiled. "That's like... A few months from now." He nodded.

"It's better than nothing, right? Alright, we're starting practice!" Aomine shouted.

Despite doing amazing during games, during practices, Kuroko is still lagging behind. Though he doesn't throw up as much anymore.

*Timeskip*

It was a new school year. Aomine and Kuroko bumped into each other in the morning and started to walk to the gym together. 

They saw Haizaki skipping with a chick on the way. As they entered, they were greeted by their young coach. 

"Welcome back, Daiki, Tetsuya." (F/N) greeted them. "Hey Coach!" She smiled at them. "Come on. Get changed. We're gonna have a mini game." She said.

They nodded and got changed. The teams were the 3rd years vs. the 2nd years.

Aomine was on a roll. Getting past the upperclassmen and scoring. "Woah!" Everyone was amazed."Nice shot, Aomine!" 

"Alright." He shouted with a smile. "He really got you, Nijimura." The team teased their captain.

"Shut up. But it's not just Aomine. Since becoming 2nd years, they really up their game. After winning the championships last year, basketball monthly dubbed them a title and now people start to use it since it fits. The Generation Of Miracles. Momoi and Coach (F/N) are included too."

They focus their attention on Kuroko. "Despite being different, he has words around him too. We use him in matches that prove his skills." Nijimura said.

"Ya, there's no doubt." The older team members nodded. "Everyone gather around!" Coach Sanada shouted. 

Everyone did as told. "Kuroko Tetsuya. Starting today, you will formally be on the bench. Your uniform number is 15. We look forward to seeing you play as the 6th man. Later, tell Momoi your uniform size." The man said.

Everyone started to congratulate the main boy. Kuroko couldn't even express how he was feeling. 

"Also, one more thing. We've been switching from 2nd years to 3rd years so we would be mainly using the 2nd years. That's all. Dismissed!" 

Nijimura and the other 3rd years were slightly sad about the new news but they knew it was coming eventually. 

"Nijimura-senpai." The said boy turned around and looked at the young coach.

"If you're thinking I'm sad about the news, of course not. I'm proud of my kohais. Especially you. You've done so much for the team. There's no need to worry." Nijimura smiled.

The girl had tears in her eyes. "What? Moved to tears?" He teased. "Shush." (F/N) turned the other way and wiped them away. The older male patted her head.

"Now now. Come on. We've got classes to go to." He said. "Ok." Later today, Momoi was called to go to (F/N)'s classroom to pick something up. 

"Hey, Satsuki?" The girl called out. "Hey, Coach." She greeted (F/N). 

"Can you bring this to Tetsuya? I've got a few things I need to do. Also, tell him that I'm assigning the new boy that joined the 1st string to him to mentor. Kise Ryota is his name." (F/N) explained.

"Of course I will." The manager smiled. "Here. Thank you, Satsuki. I'll bring us to the mall over the weekend." She smiled. "OK!"

The female then went to go find Kuroko. "Um, excuse me. Is Kuroko-kun here?" The manager called out. "Yes?" Kuroko spoke up. Momoi jumped back. 

"KYAAA!" She was in a state of shock. Despite knowing him for about a year now, she can't get used to being surprised like that. 

"Is something the matter?" Kuroko continued. "The uniform Coach ordered for you arrived so I bought it for you." Momoi explained. "Thank you so much." Kuroko held it up and looked at it.

"Also, Coach (F/N) wanted to tell you about the new kid that joined." She continued.

"Oh, I heard of him." Kuroko nodded. "She assigned him to you to mentor him. His name is Kise Ryota." She continued.

Later during practice, Kise was introduced to Kuroko. "Hey, they're here! I was really looking forward to this! I joined the club to play with you, Aominecchi!" The blonde boy smiled.

Aomine sweat dropped. "Cchi? Uh, sure, I look forward to playing with you, Kise-kun. Ah, you should greet this guy properly. He's going to be your mentor from now on." Aomine said.

"Huh?" The boy was confused. "He's right next to you." Aomine continued. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Kuroko Tetsuya." He bowed.

"EH!? WHO ARE YOU!? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE!?" Kise shouted. "I'm Kuroko Tetsuya. I've been here for quite some time." Kuroko contiued.

"ALSO, EH!? MENTOR!? WHO IS!?" Kise continued to yell. "Me." Kise couldn't believe his eyes. Like this dude in front of me is a regular!? 

"Make sure you listen to him! Even if he looks like that, he's a regular!" Aomine smiled. "REGULAR!? WHAT!?" Footsteps were heard. 

"I was at the vending machines yet I could hear you guys loud and clear. Calm down and stop yelling!" (F/N) yelled.

"Sorry, Coach!" Everyone apologized. "YOU'RE A COACH!?" Kise continued to yell. "Yes, I am. My name is (L/N) (F/N) but please call me Coach (F/N) on school property." She smiled.

Kise's eyeballs were gonna fall from its sockets. "Let's start practice now!" 

During practice, everyone couldn't help but be amazed by Kise, besides (F/N) since she saw his stats with her eyes. 

While stretching, Kise couldn't help but whine about not accepting Kuroko as his mentor. 

"Stop yelling! I'm leaving the gym for a second so please behave! And Kise-kun or should I say, Ryota, I assigned Tetsuya, so deal with it." (F/N) walked out and to Coach Sanada's office.

Nijimura was waiting for (F/N) to arrive. "This is pretty random, senpai." She started. "I know." They knocked on the door. 

"It's me, Nijimura and (F/N)." The older boy spoke up. "Come in." They opened the door and greeted the coach. 

"Excuse us." Both of them said. "What do you want to talk about?" The coach asked.

"I've done some thinking, but in the end, it'll benefit the club and myself. Please make Akashi Seijuro captain." (F/N) stared at the boy next to her in disbelief.

"W-what?" She asked. Nijimura started to explain everything about his father. "I'm truly sorry." Nijimura bowed his head.

"I understand. I will inform the head coach about your decision." Coach Sanada nodded.

(F/N) and Nijimura walked out the room. "I can't believe it, senpai." (F/N) spoke up. 

"It's for the best." The boy looked at the younger female. "I know. You're really strong because of that, you know?" The male smiled. 

"Thank you, Coach." They heard footsteps coming close so they looked to see Akashi walking towards them.

"Hey, Akashi." He greeted the redhead. "Nijimura." Akashi started. "So you heard, didn't you?" The older male asked.

"I heard the last few words." The boy said. "That's the part I don't want you to know! Anyways, it might be early but from now on, you're the captain." The boy looked at him.

"It hasn't been decided yet." Akashi explained. "What's wrong? You heard my story and still want to be captain? Do you feel anxious?" Nijimura asked.

"No, I'm worried about you, Nijimura." The redhead concluded. "Thought so. That's why I'm not worried at all. I'm counting on you, Captain Akashi."

Nijimura then walked away. "Understood." There was something off. "I'm here you know, Seijuro. So if you need anything, feel free to come to me." (F/N) smiled.

"Got it." He nodded. "Come on. I've got a feeling there is something going on in the gym." (F/N) sighed.

They both started to walk to the gym. Once they entered the gym, Kise and Haizaki were about to get at each other.

"WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON!?" Everyone turned to look at the young coach. "Well, I'm out of here." Haizaki started to walk away.

"Haizaki, go for a walk to cool your head, I'll talk to you later." (F/N) pointed to the doors. "Fine." The male nodded.

(F/N) turned to Kise and Kuroko. "I want you guys to join the 2nd strings for their match as back up." She told them. "PLAY IN THE SECOND STRING WITH THIS MIDGET!?" The boy yelled.

"Watch it, Ryota. And don't point fingers at your mentor. It's a tradition that's why. Satsuki, you'll be the manager for them too." (F/N) concluded. "Ah, got it." The manager nodded.

Momoi still couldn't wrap her head around Kuroko's presence. After the game, Kise finally accepted Kuroko as his mentor. 

Kise was inviting everyone to get ice cream but (F/N), Akashi, and Midorima had to refuse since they had things to do so only Kise, Kuroko, Momoi, Murasakibara, and Aomine went to go eat the cold treat. 

Despite always getting scared by a certain boy, Momoi couldn't help but fall hard for him. How strange really.
