One Year Later

Kise happily breathed in the morning air on the balcony of his shared apartment, the sun bathing him in its warmth as he released a contented sigh. "Ah, it's beautiful today~"

Aomine smiled, wrapping an arm around the blonde's waist. He pulled him close, kissing his neck. "Mhmm, perfect for staying in bed~"

The blonde rolled his eyes, lifting his arm to pat the bluenette on the head. "Sorry, Daiki-cchi. You know we have to meet the others~"

Sighing, the tanned man nodded, releasing his hold of his boyfriend. "I know." He paused, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. "Oi, you think we'll see Kotaro?"

Kise rolled his eyes, smiling as he danced over to the mirror. He looked at himself from all angles, hmming lightly. "It's not fair to make fun of someone in jail, Daiki-cchi." He stared at himself for another moment before nodding approvingly. "Damn, I look good~"

Aomine chuckled to himself, kissing the blonde's shoulder- once, twice, until Kise whimpered the smallest of moans.

Turning to face the tanned male, Kise wrapped his arms around his neck, kissing him lightly. "Maybe we can be a little late~"

Another chuckle came from the bluenette as he pulled Kise back over to the bed. "That's what I'm talking about~"

"Ah, there they are!" Kuroko grinned as he waved at the couple, beckoning them over.

Kise beamed at them, skipping his way over, Aomine's hand held firmly in his own. "Kuroko-cchi~ Are you excited?"

The smaller boy nodded, his eyes bright with anticipation. "I can't believe you're going international! I knew you were a great model, but this is amazing~"

The blonde laughed, nodding. "I know, I never thought I'd make it this far."

Akashi then interjected himself into their conversation, a smile on his lips. "Ryouta, how have you been?"

Kise breathed in a deep breath, nodding to himself as he exhaled. "Never better. Yori's out of my life, I'm living my dream, and I have the best friends I could ever ask for."

Aomine puffed his cheeks in a pout. "Oi, where do I fit in all that?"

The blonde smiled up at him, not hesitating to pull him into a deep, long kiss. Pulling back, he bit his lip, a small blush dusting his own cheeks. "Stupid Daiki-cchi," he sang, "You are my dream~"

Kuroko rolled his eyes at the sappy couple, pushing them from behind, even though he was far too small to do any good. "Come on, you two~ The others are waiting! You're going to be late for your own debut, Kise!"

Aomine smiled, intertwining his fingers with his beloved blonde's. "You're my dream too, baby."

Kise's eyes widened as his cheeks darkened drastically. He rolled his eyes as he dramatically flung himself into the tanned man's arms, releasing a heavy sigh.

"Oh, I think I've fainted~ That was the cutest thing Daiki-cchi's ever said~!"

Aomine laughed softly, placing a light kiss to the blonde's lips. "You're a good actor, Ryouta."

Laughing, Kise pulled himself back into an upright position, leading the way toward his modeling agency. "No," he mused, a content smile on his face, "I think I'm done with acting."

Again, sorry for the rushed ending. (I had a whole other 'this is what happened to everyone' thing 'written' in my head, but um, things happened and I'm no longer able to remember what I had planned, but I do remember that Akashi and Aomine talked Kise into going to the police (it took them having to mention that Kotaro would probably hurt others in his life if Kise didn't speak up, for the blonde to do just that) and so his sentencing was supposed to be twenty-five years in jail with no probation, but because Akashi is, well, Akashi, he will be rotting for at least thirty-five years in a cell, instead.)

Thank you for reading, guys~*heart*
