Oha minna! So here's my first story ever, I have so many other stories I want to do with different animes and characters, but I decided to start with a Kuroko no Basket one! I hope you guys enjoy this cliché story ＊ｖ＊

Chapter 1 : Blue Palette

Morning rays of the sun light up the poorly lit room, while still under the covers, a pale hand reached out and tried to turn off the genki garlic alarm clock that has been going off non-stop since 7:30 am.

"pipipip -pipipip - pipip-"

"8:05 huh…" he thought to himself, still a little groggy, he finally stood up, and went straight to the bathroom to prepare for school. The bluenette boy, Kuroko Tetsuya, was starting his second semester of 2nd year of high school at a new school, looking at his reflection through the mirror, "ah… I really don't like my eyes.."he wasn't a confident fellow and was always told that he had no emotions whatsoever.

It's not that he has no emotions, he's just, not good at expressing them, hence the normal blank look in his periwinkle-ish blue eyes. Well, he was used to hearing those statements anyway, it's not going to make a difference even in a new school.

After getting ready, he can faintly hear his mother calling him for breakfast, he headed towards the dining area and was a little surprised since his mother prepared quite an extravagant breakfast set of Salmon sautéed in butter, the sweet mixed side vegetables with potatoes, miso soup, smoking rice, green tea, and even a side of bacon and eggs sunny side up. "It's your first day at your new school and I was just so excited that I made a little too much and went overboard, but! It is the most important meal of the day so eat up!" his mother perked at him with such chirpiness that he didn't even want to retort with a sarcastic comment. They had recently moved due to his mother's new job, honestly speaking, he was nervous, the new school he will be attending at is a famous school, he was worried about whether or not he would be able to make friends or just quietly pass the year, like usual.

"Itadakimasu", kuroko calmly thanked the meal with a sigh but a smile on his face. His mother was really a caring, energetic person, his complete opposite. Kuroko has been living with his mother, just the two of them, for the last 12 years. Kuroko's father unfortunately passed away when kuroko was just 5 years old due to a long-term illness, his mother would always say he was like his father, quiet, timid, but straight forward and determined. Kuroko was always happy to hear that. "Gochisou sama desu, it was delicious", kuroko praised his mother for her wonderful cooking. "That's good to hear! Now go on and get to school, you wouldn't want to be late on your first day of your new school!"

Grabbing his bag after brushing his teeth, he went for the door.. "Ittekimasu!" and headed out, wearing his new uniform, which he was not used to yet, he wasn't used to a blazer-type uniform since it doesn't really cover the neck area unlike a Gakuran, which was his old uniform. But, nevertheless he was still pretty nervous even though he wasn't really expressing it right.

His house was a 20 min walk from his new school, and he can already see some students who were wearing the same uniform and walking the same path as he is. "Ah.. I wonder if they're in the same year as I am…" he thought to himself.

As he was nearing the school gates, kuroko heard a loud thud behind him which startled him, when he turned around, he saw a huge boy, with dark red hair, eyes like a tiger, and was wearing the same uniform. "is he a student?" Kuroko thought, he was really tall and looked a intimidating to boot. Kuroko was too startled that he didn't notice the red head was holding a kitty, when he let go of the small creature, he started walking up to kuroko…

"Yo! You must be a new student, never seen your face around here before" the red head said with his hand doing a friendly "Hi" gesture.

"Yes, I just moved in the neighborhood about a week ago, I will be starting my 2nd year second semester at Seirin High today" Kuroko replied with less gusto and his usual expressionless face.

"I see, what class are you in?" asked the taller one.

"My enrollment form says I will be in Class 2-1" Kuroko stated.

"We're in the same class then! I am Kagami Taiga, yoro!" replied Kagami.

"I am Kuroko Tetsuya, yoroshiku onegaishimasu"

"Why are you so formal, we're in the same class you know, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me! Sorry for startling you earlier, I helped a small cat off the tree and almost fell so I had to land in an awkward position, I didn't want to sprain anything." Kagami explained. Kuroko was actually pretty happy that his first conversation with a fellow student was with a nice guy, although a little loud, he reminded him of his mother.

"No worries, you did a nice thing" kuroko replied, showing a little smile on his lips.

The two set off to enter the gates, with Kagami guiding kuroko to the school registrar to make sure he is properly enrolled and ready to start the new semester,

Otsu! I know that this is a very short chapter, but I just wanted to introduce Kuroko with little background details as much as possible so I can use his mysteriousness for other chapters （笑）

I also managed to insert Kagami as his first friend!

In case you guys are interested in some of the Japanese words, here's a list of what I used in this chapter:

Itadakimasu : Thank you for the food / before eating

Gochisou sama desu : Thanks for the meal / after eating

Ittekimasu : I'm heading out

Gakuran : A gakuran is a type of school uniform for boys which has a Chinese like collar, and usually used in schools mostly located in provincial areas in Japan. (cities tend to use blazer type uniforms, although it would still depend on the school)

Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu : Pleased to meet you / Let's get along well.

I know these are super basic, but I am putting this out there for those who are not familiar with the words :3

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you in the next chapters!
