EGGxciting Communication
Aomine and Kagami blithely walk hand in hand down the streets of Fujiyoshida completely mindless of the disapproving stares they’ve been getting from random strangers. People can give them all the unwanted attention and something more but nobody can ever stop the two from appreciating the gorgeous city and the oh so stunning view of Mt. Fuji. Just to spite them, they even have their fingers intertwined and they would exchange loving glances every now and then.
They have a week off university which is enough to give their brains a gratifying break from a lot of things. Luckily, even though university’s being a bitch about everything -one by lessening their time spent together- they still managed to balance their life between night shift part time jobs and studies. At least they’ve saved enough money to spend their vacation out of town; together and just the two of them which is definitely the most important part.
“Should we go climb Mt. Fuji next year?”
“I’d rather have you climb on top of me as you ride me to paradise.”
“You perverted piece of shit. Ugh.”
“It’s been so long. I have needs. Don’t go blaming my active se-”
“Shh! Okay, okay enough. Others might hear you.”
Kagami winks at him as Aomine grins and teasingly bumps their shoulders together. He is used to Aomine’s constant teasing by now that in truth he doesn’t really mind if other people could actually hear them, not even the slightest. When you have one Aomine Daiki as a boyfriend (not like there is another one so nah, you won’t get any sorry) everyone else’s opinion becomes less important.
There is no way he isn’t proud of his Daiki with all his flaws and imperfection; to him he will always be more than enough but let’s just say some hardcore PDA between two giants can be bad for the soul of innocent people. Sometimes he kind of feels bad but oftentimes he feels the need to brush it all off; people need to see things in a different light.
Aomine dishevels his hair in return, an earnest smile planted on his face. He knows that Kagami constantly says things contrary to what he really feels and they love to mock each other considering they both love to argue a lot. This out of town vacay is Aomine’s idea of some cosy bonding they haven’t had in a long time, but Kagami knows him well and he is positive there is much more to it than that.
The place is not that far from Tokyo although Aomine’s certain that crossing paths with an acquaintance is going to be a one in a million chance encounter and that for sure isn’t going to happen today.
“Yoooo hoooo! Aomine! Kagami!”
Tch. But then I have to be proven wrong right?
“Hey Daiki. That sounds like…”
It is Kagami who turns his head to look at the source of the familiar voice. Aomine doesn’t even bother.
Of course it is Takao! Meaning he is with him, too. The one in a million chance is fucking happening right now and he feels absolutely betrayed by the heaven, the gods, everything. Even Kagami as he greets them in return by waving a hand towards the duo.
“Taiga…” He tries to snatch away his attention while he tightens his hold on Kagami’s hand in a bone crushing grip.
Why couldn’t Kagami get his signal that he doesn’t need (want) the company? True, he is selfish but he has every right to be, especially when it comes to Kagami Taiga.
“What is it babe?” Kagami gives him a look of concern as well as confusion. He brings his hand against Aomine’s right cheek then proceeds to lightly pinch his nose. He must look really miserable right now if it makes Kagami do such gesture.
“Told you Shin-chan, it’s really them!”
“I know Takao! Shut up already! You’re too loud.”
“What? Last night you said it was okay to be loud!”
“You’re being unreasonable.”
The other couple continues to bicker grabbing half the attention of the passersby that is solely focused on Kagami and Aomine not too long ago. They both sigh at the familiar setting in front of them thinking that some things just never change. Aomine has almost forgotten his inner catastrophe as he unknowingly gawks at the item on Takao’s right hand.
An ordinary egg with a stupid drawn face and a pair of bunny ears. How weird is that, really?
“He finally got you into that sorta thing huh?” Aomine finds it quite amusing that Takao doesn’t only tolerates Midorima’s peculiarity seeing that now, he has also become one peculiar person himself.
“Hm? You mean this? Haha! This is not a lucky item. Tell ‘em Shin-chan.”
“Well… That is… That is our… Ahem! Itsourchild.” Midorima swiftly looks away with a hint of pink visible on his cheeks and beside him, the ever so cheeky Takao is grinning mischievously. Embarrassed Shin-chan will always be a sight to behold.
“Meet Usagi-chan, our most adorable baby girl. Usagi-chan, these are Aomine-oji and Kagami-oji. Say hi!” Takao merrily waves the so called baby girl that is actually an egg, like it is the most common thing to do, in front of the two tall men.
Aomine and Kagami exchange a look.
They glance at Midorima but obviously he doesn’t want anything to do with it and turns to look anywhere else but them. Then they peer at the egg with a silent plea, please don’t be cursed or something.
Aomine is adamant that his friends are screw loose but to see that it has gone to this extent, he kinda feels sorry but thinks it would be better if he just keep his mouth shut.
“So… do you guys wanna go and give it a try? Kinda cool to play house and get to walk around town like a cute family with a pretty baby eggy.” Takao continues with Midorima awkwardly standing beside him, still blushing a bright shade of red.
Aomine is tempted to answer back even though he doesn’t want to start any unwanted arguments. To be honest, he just wants to cut the convo and enjoy his free time with his redhead. Thinking of some better words to say without offending the other party, he is a second too late as Kagami beats him to it.
“It’s okay Takao. We don’t really need a baby… ahm… eggy? to call ourselves family. Right now, Daiki is all I ever wanted and needed. I accepted who he was, who is he and who he will be. I’ll always be proud of him. Off the record, he’s my own BIG baby egg,” Kagami says with full confidence and a blinding grin that could match the blaring sun that only makes Midorima blush even more (if that’s even possible). Takao is left dumbfounded while Aomine is being a perfect carbon copy of Midorima ‘coz he isn’t expecting anything like that from Kagami at all. Aomine feels warmth spreading all over him. A kind of heat that makes his heart beat faster and does wonderful things in his insides. He feels so loved that he’s left speechless in a good way.
“We’ll just leave you and your adorable Usagi-chan some time to yourselves and we hope you enjoy the rest of the day. My big baby egg and I have a lot of stuff to accomplish. See you!”
With Kagami’s final statement, he waves the other couple goodbye as he slowly and carefully drags Aomine away (who is, mind you, still kind of out of it). They see Aomine snaps out of his trance as he affectionately pushes Kagami’s head to rest against his right shoulder before he tenderly places a kiss on his forehead as a sign of how thankful and touched he is for what he heard. Though they couldn’t see it, they’re sure that Kagami appreciates the gesture a lot in the way his left arm lovingly circles Aomine’s waist. Midorima and Takao both wave back with adoring smiles on their faces, proud that the boys who are once called an idiot couple have already come a long way.
“Wait— did you just compare me to an egg, Taiga?”
“You’re hard on the outside but gooey on the inside.”
“Huh? What the actual fuck does it even mean?”
