Originally intended for this to be Amanda's Christmas present. I lost my vision for the song and since I know I might never finish it, I’ll just upload what I have.

♡ Send me a ship and I’ll tell you

Who accidentally pushes a door instead of pulling/vice versa: Both. Aomine laughs at Kagami because he pushed when he was supposed to pull, and then a few seconds later, Aomine makes the exact same mistake and it’s Kagami’s turn to laugh at him.

Who doodles little hearts all over the desk with their initials inside them: Aomine draws a love-love umbrella on the desk with his pencil when they’re supposed to be doing homework at Kagami’s apartment. Kagami discovers this after Aomine has left, and he gets a bit flustered. He doesn’t erase the drawing, though.

Who starts the tickle fights: Both.

Who starts the pillow fights: Both.

Who falls asleep last, watching the other with a small affectionate smile: Aomine usually falls asleep later than Kagami does, but he takes a lot of naps during the day and more often than not, Kagami’s the one who watches the other sleep with a smile. (The exception to this is when Kagami has a basketball game the next day and he’s too excited to fall asleep.) Bonus: Aomine has a tendency to crawl into bed next to Kagami when he sees the other asleep. As a result, Kagami often finds himself waking up in the other’s arms.

Who mistakes salt for sugar: Aomine.

Who lets the microwave play the loud beeping sound at 1 am in the morning: Aomine. Kagami kicks him off the bed to turn it off.

Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines: Both, but neither succeeds in using them. Most of Aomine’s pick-up lines go right over the other’s head, and most of Kagami’s pick-up lines are in English, which Aomine can’t understand. These two are probably better off just being direct with each other.

Who rearranges the bookshelf in alphabetical order: Neither. Kagami’s neat, but not meticulous.

Who licks the spoon when they’re baking brownies: They fight over this. Kagami usually wins, because he’s the one who’s actually holding the spoon. Aomine just has to settle for the tiny smudge of batter on Kagami’s face.

Who buys candles for dinners even though there’s no special occasion: Aomine. If Kagami sets out candles for dinner, Aomine would panic a little because he probably forgot some important anniversary.

Who draws little tattoos on the other with a pen: Neither. I can see these two getting face paint for Halloween, though.

Who comes home with a new souvenir magnet every time they go on vacation: Definitely Aomine, but Kagami’s the one who uses them.

⊰𝟙𝟘⊱—Kagami dribbled the ball few moments, before attempting to take one of Aomine’s iconic shots; but as usual he failed at it completely. He would always remain King of the formless shots. Though, the fact that Aomine mentioned he’d actually trying to figure out sometime surprise him, had the tiger overjoyed. Abs it showed on his face as he beamed a warm smile at the other.

❝Alright, Alex said she wouldn’t be coming over anyways. Something about giving us time alone, to experiment.❞ he stated, before shrugging after a moment. ❝Whatever that’s supposed to mean.❞ 

He drew in a long breath as he leaped to block the other's formless shot. The ball bounced off the backboard at an odd angle, its trajectory nowhere near the hoop. "Serves you right for trying that when I'm defending," he scoffed.

Seirin seemed like a close-knit bunch, so they would probably hold a party for Kagami. And then there was Himuro and Alex, who were, for all intents and purposes, Kagami's family. It would be pretty hard to get some alone time with Kagami on his birthday, or so Aomine thought, until the other revealed that Alex had specifically left them alone to... experiment. The word choice itself was suggestive enough. How could Kagami not know what it meant?

Despite the fact they went to third base the day they started dating, they never did go further. They didn't talk about it either, aside from a few jokes here and there. Aomine didn't mind; just being with Kagami was good enough for him. (Though, to be honest, he also wouldn't mind if they did do more together...)

⊰𝟙𝟘⊱—❝There is nothing educational in those things.❞ The redhead replied, not believing the other one bit.

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, there lived a just and kind prince named Kagami Taiga. Kagami was the first-born son of the King and the heir to the throne, and the kingdom had great hopes for the prince with a heart of gold. On the evening of his coming-of-age feast, he received his own estate and castle, as well as the faithful service of a knight of his choosing.

And this is where our story begins.

Lustrous crystal prisms cast a golden tint to the rows of silverware laid out on long cedar tables. Delectable roasts and freshly baked bread filled the dining hall with a rich aroma while musicians lined up by the walls, producing joyous sounds with strings and pipes. Well-dressed men and women engaged in jovial chatter over fine wine; for most attendants, there was much diplomatic affairs to take care of before the feast began in the earnest. Such was not the case for the newly knighted Aomine Daiki, however. The tanned knight didn’t care much for politics and came to the feast for one reason only: he was here to give his Oath of Fealty to the prince who had chosen him.

It was unusual for a young knight who had just earned his title to serve a lord of such high rank, even if Aomine did completed his training with flying colors. He suspected that it had something to do with his abiding bond with Kagami, though he hadn’t the chance to confirm the theory.

He had met the other for the first time when he was only a page at the king’s castle. The two boys bonded over stolen candle torches and naive make-believes, sneaking into the weapon shed at night and pulling unsavory pranks on the maids. However, in his adolescence, Aomine often had to travel around the kingdom with the knight he was attached to, and as a result, he would lose touch with Kagami for months, sometimes years. Despite the sporadic correspondence, over the years, their childhood friendship grew into a trusted camaraderie that was well-received by their elders.

Of course Aomine had been miffed to spend so much time away from the red-haired idiot he considered his best friend. Unfortunately, there was little he could do about it back then. He always thought that once he became a real knight, then maybe, just maybe, he could stand by Kagami’s side for a little bit longer--

Funny how that worked out, huh?

“Ladies and gentlemen, His Majesty the King and His son, Prince Kagami Taiga.”

At sound of the announcement, everyone fell silent and turned to face the front of the room. The tanned knight’s lips curled into a smirk as he put down the glass, taking his sweet time to stagger to his feet. Cobalt eyes locked onto the prince as he entered, and for a second, Aomine's breath caught in his throat. He already knew what to expect, but... damn, Kagami looked good. Wide, ruffled sleeves accentuated the prince’s broad shoulders, and his tight-fitting trousers did nothing to hide the sturdy slope of his hips and the long, muscled limbs connected to it. Aomine couldn’t hear the King’s boring speech over the voice inside his head which screamed lecherous suggestions of what he could do to that body if only he had the chance. (If only it didn’t belong to the crown prince who was also his best friend.)

He was snapped out of his fantasy when he felt the crowd’s gaze suddenly shifting onto him. Shit, how long had he been staring at Kagami? Did people notice? A cold sweat broke out on the knight’s tanned brow as he tried to figure out what was happening.

“Sir Aomine,” a soft voice beside him whispered. “It’s time for your oath.”

The crowd parted to create a passage leading to the prince. Oh. He shot a grateful glance at the pale blue spectral mage beside him and strode toward Kagami. Stopping just a few feet away, Aomine stood still, letting the weight of what he was about to do fully condense before he knelt down.

He laid down his sword and touched the holy relic.

“By the Lord, before whom this relic is holy...”

Aomine clasped his hands and wondered if this oath would ease the guilt of his desires and cement his will to become the man Kagami needed him to be.

“I will be, to His Highness Kagami Taiga, faithful and true, and love all that he loves, and shun all that he shuns, according to God’s law and the order of the world, and never, by will or action, by word or deed, do ought of what is loathful to him. I will observe my homage to His Highness completely, against all persons in good faith and without deceit.”

He hadn’t thought it was possible for him to submit and choose someone else’s will above his own. At least, not until now. But it was to Kagami that he had surrendered, and somehow, the tanned knight was relieved.

It felt right.

“Well its supposed to rain today, so I figured you’d cancel on me.” Kagami began, only to get grabbed and pushed inside. “Besides, Momoi called me and said you’d prefer something like this.”, he finished and gestured to the tiger. 

Fair enough. He would have canceled if it started to rain, but it looked like the weather forecast was going to be wrong today. Aomine shut the door and covered his brow with in disbelief. "And you believed her?" He asked. "Well, if you're into giving people this stuff, I'll take it, but... That scared the hell outta me."
