Beware that this is all my fault.

There is so many female OC's and one day my brain decided, "Hey! How about making a male OC in KnB? There is a small number of male OC in the fandom and they aren't Shonen-Ai related!" (Yes this story will contain Shonen-Ai because why the hell not?)

Thus I created this fic.

You can't get mad at me.

Hey.

Don't look at me like that.

I do what I want :D

I know I should be updating my 'REBORN! in KHR' fanfic (anyone who doesn't know it, feel free to check it out!) but this is an opportunity for me to play around with a much more complex character with a harder exterior/personality. Well...some things are same so yeah.

Disclaimer: Does not own Kuroko no Basket, I do own my OC.

Warning: Foul language present, errors that I missed and an OC with personality.

Authors note (12/12/2015):

I know what you all are wondering.

Why is the format different?

The reason for that is because I noticed how fast paced my story is going and that I seriously need to slow the story down. It seemed unrealistic to bond a friendship in just one day after meeting so I rewrote how Ryuu and Kuroko's first meeting.

The opening scene in episode one of the anime where Kagami makes his first appearance won't happen in this chapter. This all takes place a week before that which gives enough time for Ryuu and Kuroko to befriend on another properly.

Take note of the new author's note above for old readers before proceeding! For the new ones, welcome and go on right ahead!

The air conditioner above him rattled before blasting out a jet of cool air into his face. He frowned at the damaged air conditioner with annoyance. The air conditioner had done the same action since he sat down on his seat after boarding the bus.

With winter coming to a swift end and spring is just right up the corner, the weather still remained cold. Ryuu would have switched seats but looking over to the number of people in the bus he thought better.

He rather sit the whole ride through freezing his ass off than go through all the trouble to change his seat.

The teen rubbed his bare hands together and brought them close to his mouth, letting out a wisp of warm breath over his numbing fingers. He clench and relaxed his hands several times, working to get blood back to his fingertips once more. Satisfied with the outcome, he turned to look out the window and watch the world go on by.

Usually Ryuu would have walked to school instead of taking the bus. Considering the lack of high schools in his area, Ryuu has no choice but to find a school a bit farther from home. With his mother's urging to find a new school, Ryuu on his part created a list.

It's not because he dread going to a school where no one knows him but because they weren't exactly rich. Seirin high had not been on his list of high school selections and being it a new school, it never crossed his mind. It was only because his mother recommended it did he know the name.

Surprisingly the school in question was the one he would be attending in the end. Several facts factored to why Ryuu choose that such as his reputation. Ryuu have never been the goody two shoe type of person. But because of that a large majority of schools has rejected his admission.

Added his mother wanted him to go somewhere where no one from his middle school were ever to recognize him. Stating that he needed a new start without rumours of the past to follow him through high school.

The school board had been somewhat hesitant to admit a student with his kind of reputation. The chances of having him admitted could affect them. But they could not ignore the fact Ryuu's excellent grades could get their name recognized. It had been a gamble but in the end they admitted him into their school.

The bus jerked into a sudden halt which took the teen by surprise. The sudden stop caused his head to snap forward and collide with the seat in front of him. He let out a curse and rubbed his forehead, frowning when he spotted a red mark on his reflection.

Gold color eyes stared back at Ryuu, belonging to a slightly tan face with a define jawline and pointed chin. Longer than normal coal black hair brushed against the collar of his jacket, his bangs partially covering both his eyes. Yet the stark difference in color made his sharp eyes stand out.

The face belonging to a lean and moderate athletic male who has his hands on his forehead. The front of his uniform unzip to chest level revealing his white undershirt beneath.

His entire persona scream 'delinquent' and the irony was that Ryuu had been one before.

Several rows behind him, two high school girls giggled with one another as they happen to witness his little mishap. One even dare to point at Ryuu.

He turned his head to their direction as he happen to hear soft laughter and caught the girl pointing at him. He shot them a hard look. The girl who had the decency to not point at him took note of the look he sent at their direction.

She visibly blanched before shaking her friend by the arm, whispering into her ear. The other girl shot a confused look at her seat mate and allowed the other to speak into her ear. She clamped her mouth shut and shot a fearful look at Ryuu, the silly smile on her face gone.

When the bus finally stopped at his designated destination, the young male took no time to get off. The fearful whispers drowned out by the loud hiss of the doors closing behind him.

The cold morning air felt no different from when the teen had sat under the air conditioner moments ago. Ignoring the sharp prickle on his skin, the male re-adjusted the strap of his shoulder bag as it dug into his shoulder before starting his trek. He trailed behind several students clad in the school same uniform as his.

Ryuu took his time taking in his surroundings and made an effort to memorize some familiar land markers just in case he had forgotten the way to school. He had only been to Seirin once with his mother to register but at that moment of time, the male had a lot on his mind.

Luckily the pamphlet shoved in his bag had a small map. Instead of using the map, he followed a large number of student wearing the same uniform.

Most of the students walking before him are in no rush to reach school and had taken their time to enjoy their last moment of freedom. Other than that, it's because the school's opening ceremony would not start until an hour later. This allows new students such as himself to find his assigned class and get his schedule from the class teacher.

Rounding a corner, Ryuu quickly spotted the front gates of Seirin high, covered with decorative flowers made of paper. Especially the white banner standing next to the gate with its edges covered with said decorations.

Ryuu let out a sigh of relief at the sight of the large building. With renewed vigour he quicken his walking pace, wanting to be out of the cold weather.

Several students lingered at the gate and as Ryuu came close he noted that they are the older students. Probably assigned by their teachers to greet new comers like him. A pair of student standing closest to Ryuu had caught his attention.

"I have the feeling that this year is going to be different." said a tall male with dark short hair and narrow eyes, "Don't know if it's a gut feeling or the lack of sleep is getting to me."

A girl with short caramel colour hair, her bangs pinned with two black hair clips shot her partner a dry look, "Did you seriously stayed up late last night, Junpei?"

"I lost track of time."

"You idiot!"

Ryuu cast the duo a side way look as he walked on by, something about their friendly dynamic had reminded the male of someone familiar. The teen shook his head from the thought and continued to make his way towards the main building.

His teacher shot the young teen a gentle smile which reminded Ryuu of his mother's smile as he trailed after the older women like a lost puppy. The older women in her mid thirties is taller than Ryuu by just a head with her blonde hair cut into a short bobby cut, curled slightly at the end and has a strange fondness for sweaters.

Especially rabbits.

Golden eyes trailed down from the rabbit pattern sweater to the rabbit key chain dangling on his soon to be his class teacher's pencil box. Ryuu snapped his gaze up to stare at the back of the teacher's head once he caught himself staring longer than needed.

"Here we are!" the teacher cheered, moving aside for Ryuu to walk into her classroom, "This is my classroom and from today onward you are my homeroom student. You will be seeing my face in the morning and when you have English classes."

"Of course Sensei," Ryuu shot the older women a smile, giving her a slight bow before straightening himself. He had to give kudos to the women for keeping her relaxed composure when most would have stammered, clearly intimidated by his appearance.

"Well you should head on in," she softly clapped the male on his shoulder as a friendly gesture, "Find a seat and make some friends, I'll be back to collect you all for the ceremony later."

With that the teacher walked away leaving Ryuu alone to stand awkwardly at the doorway. The male pursed his lips together as he turned his gaze to the classroom before him, noting that most of the seats in the front had already been taken leaving the back seats free for the taking.

He took one step into the class and immediately the chatter died down to a soft mummer, all eyes drawn to his figure at the front. Even without knowing of his reputation, with the fearful looks directed to him and the whispered pass bout from one person to another simply remind Ryuu that change won't come that easy by just picking a high school where no one knew him from middle school.

Without letting the mask of indifference slip, he simply made his way to the back of the class and choose his seat. He picked his seat near the window, the second row from the back finding the area easier for him to sometimes not pay attention when the teacher's would drone on about things so boring the information would simply go over his head if he was listening.

A little while after settling into his seat did the chatter picked up once the others realized that the teen is clearly ignoring them for most of the part. He rolled his eyes at them and continued to look out the window being the only thing to entertain him.

Suddenly the hairs of the back of his neck stood on ends, his skin prickled with the familiar feeling of someone staring intently at the back of his head. Being a former delinquent, Ryuu knew by heart that attacking in one's blind spot is the most effective way to knock them out or physically harm them. Knowing that, Ryuu made sure to never have anyone come into his blind spot or try to hide their presence around him. He could not afford to let someone slip past his defenses.

Instinctively the black hair teen whirled back to whoever is sitting behind him and grabbed the blue haired male by the collar of his shirt and the small male forward.

Only the sound of his chair scraping harshly against the tile floors did Ryuu snapped back to his senses. His heart dropped down to his stomach when he found himself staring into blank blue eyes, his hand fisting a handful of dark fabric.

Before Ryuu stood a teal blue haired teen just several centimeters shorter than him with his head just reaching around Ryuu's eye level, clad in the same uniform like his own.

"Oh shit…" Ryuu cursed under his breath and snatched his hand back as if he touched hot iron. He looked back to the male he just assaulted moments ago with horror written on his face before quickly making his way out, bewildering several students who stood loitering around at the doorway.

"What's his problem?" one male student questioned, peering out the doorway to stare at the black haired teen.

"I don't know," another replied with uncertainty written on their face, "But he looks scary!"

None of them ever noticed the teal haired male standing at the back of the class pat down the front of his jacket where Ryuu had grabbed him. The teen stared down at his fallen book he had been reading earlier and picked it up from floor, contemplating what had occurred moments ago.

Kuroko Tetsuya did not expect for the newcomer to turn around so suddenly when the male had obviously didn't notice him sitting at the back like everyone else. In honesty Kuroko has no idea how he brought that reaction to himself. All his did was just stared at the back of the black haired teen's head, mentally noting in his mind to stay clear for the intimidating students.

The teen's reaction however interests him. He did not indicate the male of his existence like he would usually do considering how many people look over his head with his very weak presence and yet the stranger managed to notice him. Not right away but still – the delinquent noticed him quickly compared to others.

Kuroko dusted off dirt that stuck to his book and placed it back into his bag before walking out of class, going in the general direction where the black haired teen stormed off. It won't be hard considering the wake of whispering people he left behind.

Ryuu found a secluded place to wallow in his own inner turmoil and slumped against the wall as he sat near to the stair case leading to the rooftop, sliding down to the floor with his face buried in his hands. The black haired teen held back from letting out a frustrated groan or find the nearest wall to punch until his knuckles bleed.

He ran a hand through his hair, letting out a shaky breath. Ryuu had thought he kept a tight rein on his temper especially after the inciden – He shook his head from the thought, biting down hard on his lower lips to distract his thoughts from straying to the darker parts of his mind.

He cannot afford destroying his mother's hard earn effort.

"Get your shit together Ryuu…." The male muttered to himself, "Don't lose it. It was just one mistake. Everyone makes mistakes."

The sound of approaching footfalls made Ryuu clamp his mouth shut, silencing him further from talking. He did not bother to lift his head up to see who else other than him would bother going to a more secluded part of the school and waited for the person to pass.

"Do you always attack someone and run away after?"

Ryuu flinched at the voice under presumptions that no one would bother talking to someone looking like him before dragging his hands down his face to stare at the person talking is referring to his earlier spectacle in class.

Looking into the very eyes of the person he just manhandled, Ryuu let out a curse, "Fuck."

The teal haired teen barely flinched at him, merely staring down at Ryuu with a slight tilt of his head in a birdlike manner. Ryuu glared at the newcomer as he wanted to be left alone to gather his composure before returning back to class.

"What do you want?" he frowned at the male, a hint of hostility evident in his tone.

"An apology would be great," the other teen replied, "You did just assault me earlier." He added.

"And what makes you think I won't kick your ass here?" Ryuu replied with a sneer. He wanted the teen to scamper away, be intimidated by his empty threat and leave his presence. He'll deal with the fact it just ruined his only chance starting anew in Seirin another time. Instead the stranger remained glued to his spot and seemed fazed by Ryuu's empty threat much to Ryuu's surprise.

"Your reaction back then," the teal haired teen answered, "You genuinely looked horrified after grabbing my jacket."

Ryuu's breath hitched and his eyes widen with surprise, abruptly standing up from his seat to glower at the shorter male despite just being several inches taller, "You know what?" He gritted out through clenched teeth, "Fuck you."

Knowing where this conversation would be heading if progressed, Ryuu shoved past the male and stormed back to class. He has his fair share of threats back in the day especially being blackmailed repeatedly by rival gangs. If he let the teal haired teen continue with their conversation, it would eventually lead up to him being blackmailed having already to pick up on several distinct signs in their short conversation.

The black haired teen knew he is on his wits end at that point and would gladly snip the bud of their conversation to avoid a whole lot of conflicts in the near future. He rather suffer being tattle tailed to the teacher than tarnishing his reputation further more.

Luckily the teen did not follow and most students have scampered out of his way as he walked back to his class having to see or feel his irritation. Sadly he did not notice another person tailing behind just several meters away.

Ryuu reached his class in record time just as the bell rang indicating 30 minutes has passed with his teacher approaching in the opposite direction. She noticed the teen quickly and quicken her pace to reach him as students loitering about the hallways either head to the opening ceremony held at the hall or return to class for their teacher to fetch them.

"I see you went exploring," His teacher noted with a smile seeing Ryuu's shoulder bag absent at his side, "Do you have a grasp of the school's foundation?"

Any evidence of anger lingering was gone without as Ryuu returned the smile effortlessly, "Just this building, Sensei."

"Well let's get going to the opening ceremony!" she cheered before peaking into the room beside her like a child to call the other students left remaining in class that are new to the school compound like Ryuu before being ushered towards the hall where the opening ceremony is being held.

During the entire walk there Ryuu kept an eye out for oddly bright blue hair.

Other than that, I hope you enjoyed this chapter :)
