The February sun dyes the streets in a manufactured red, paper hearts swinging from lampposts and shop windows crowded with ribbons and chocolates. Five tall silhouettes move together down the sidewalk, their footsteps echoing between bursts of laughter and bickering. Aomine and Kise stride ahead, bragging about the dates they’ll receive, while Akashi silences them with a single sharp remark. Murasakibara mutters under his breath about sweets and money, Kuroko answers him in that even, uninflected tone, and Midorima adjusts his glasses, speaking of zodiac compatibility. Kagami sighs, looking away. Then Kurogo turns toward you, you, his pale eyes finding yours.
