Chapter Text
2 weeks have passed since the Winter Cup. No one had believed Kuroko’s way of basketball, but after defeating the GOM, he was able to shine some light on them as their shadow. Of course, if it wasn't for the help of Kagami and the rest of Seirin, Kuroko wouldn't have been able to even play a one-on-one match with them. As the small tradition goes usually the team would celebrate after their victory, but considering that their opponent was Akashi, with the three uncrowned kings, they were far past their limit when the buzzer rang. Knowing each other’s condition, they all agreed that they would celebrate next week. To give their legs a rest with that small amount of time. Kuroko took this break greedily. Only getting up from his bed to shower and eat. A week has passed though, time being indicated when a yelling Kagami woke him up.
“Oi, Kuroko! You up?” Kagami called out as he came in with a spare key Kuroko had given him a while back.
‘Kagami-kun, it’s morning. Shut up.’
That’s what Kuroko wanted to say, but he couldn’t. The only thing he heard was a tiny bark and got confused.
‘Did Kagami get a dog? Wait, I thought he was afraid of them..?’
Suddenly, the door to his room opened up and Kagami barged in.
“Kuroko, are you still asleep? Come on it’s alrea-!”
“Uh, h-hi there.. dog. Do you k-know where Kuroko is? Oh, you don’t. That’s cool.. I-I’ll be going now.”
With that, Kagami bolted off. Footsteps were heard running down the stairs and out the door. Kuroko, more confused than before, stared silently where Kagami had been.
‘… First, I hear a bark. Second, Kagami-kun calls me a dog. I need to get up.’
As soon as he got up though, he was shocked to see a dog staring back at him from the wall mirror that hung at the foot of the bed. What was even more confusing was that Kuroko couldn't even see himself.
‘Is that.. Me? Impossible. How could I become a dog?!’
Frantically running out of the room Kuroko decided that he needed help. Running towards Maji Burger where the team decided to celebrate, (they were out of funds) Kuroko hoped that they would be able to believe that that’s him.
