AN:So hey... I'm very new at fanfiction. This one is my first. Also, don't be fooled by the length of this chapter. The next ones are a lot longer.

Kuroko Tetsuya was sprawled on his bed reading a book. After a while, he got off his bed and made his way to the kitchen while looking back on everything that happened with them. Back in middle school, the six of them had started out as friends. But then all that changed, with a certain person suffering from a drastic personality change. At first, he had completely given up on them ever returning to normal after he witnessed the incident with Ogiwara-kun. He felt depressed and even quit the basketball team right after, while at the same time trying to keep as much distance as possible between himself and the five prodigies. Especially him. For some time, he grieved the old days when they all enjoyed basketball together. However, one day, he realised that this was wrong. He wanted them to be together again. To watch Aomine bicker with Kise. To hear Murasakibara ask him for snacks. He even missed seeing Midorima with his, yet again, ridiculous lucky item. He missed his rare smiles the most. From that day onward, he made a decision. He vowed to himself to return them to how they were before, to make them remember their love for basketball. And if the only way was to make them taste defeat for the first time, then so be it. He told himself he was doing this for everyone, ignoring the part of him that screamed that there was something else behind his determination.

It was on his last year of middle school when he decided to enter Seirin high. Being a recently opened school, it did not have a great record of victories and whatnot. But they had potential, as they had shown it the previous year by making it to the final league. Those were the reasons Kuroko chose his current school. He thought to himself he would show the Generation of Miracles their arrogant behaviour was not right by taking a new school to the top, above them.

He had made the right decision. His encounter with Kagami-kun had proven him that. In a way, he had kind of hit the jackpot. He had found someone who could bring out his abilities. Yes, the other players in his team were good but without Kagami-kun, it would have been considerably harder for him to beat his former teammates. His abilities as a "shadow" depended on his "light". He had found his "light" and a close friend in Kagami-kun, a player capable of beating even the infamous Generation of Miracles. If it weren't for Kagami-kun, he also couldn't have mastered his Vanishing Drive or his Phantom Shot. He was extremely grateful to his friend for allowing him even if unconsciously to reach his goal: returning his Teiko teammates to their former selves.

He put water to boil in a kettle and waited for it to finish. As he waited, he let his thoughts roam around. He almost choked on his own saliva when he caught himself thinking too much about him. He refused to admit he was thinking more and more of a certain person. No, he wasn't missing him at all. That was a stupid speculation. Right?

He was startled out of his reverie when he heard the kettle emitting a really loud noise. The water was ready. He poured himself a cup of tea and leaned on the counter. As much as he loved vanilla milkshakes, even he had to admit that it was not an appropriate time to drink one. He didn't want to get sick after all. They had an early basketball practice the next morning and if he missed, Riko would have his head. He finished his drink and was starting to return to his room when he heard his phone ring. Going over to pick it up, he didn't bother to check the caller's ID and was startled when he heard the rich, velvet like voice at the other end of the line.

-Good evening, Tetsuya.
