Spark | Kuroko no Basuke x OC

Choices, Chances, Changes

Tomoko and Teppei cheered, giving each other high-fives. "Alright!"

-----

"So, what are you doing here?!" Kagami's eye twitched at a certain brunette second-year. It was the day of the tournament and the first-years were all suppose to meet up at the location...

"What, I can't be here?" Teppei asked innocently and smiled. "Kawahara caught a cold, so I'm taking over for him."

"O-Oh..." Kagami scratched his head in realization. He then turned to his other side and pointed an accusing finger at someone behind Tomoko. He's certainly never seen this guy before! "Then who is he?!"

"Watch who you're pointing your finger at, brat," the male glared menacingly. He was a handsome male with a not-so-charming aura about him. Tomoko grinned sheepishly.

"This is my brother, Ichirou! Sorry guys, he insisted on coming with me today..."

Ichirou pouted animatedly at his sister's offhanded remark. The older male didn't look like Tomoko the slightest; his sharp and dark maroon eyes and styled raven hair made him look quite tough, but that terse exterior quickly dissolved into the look of a dejected puppy as Teppei and the first-years continued to witness his interaction with the younger Okuma.

"But imouto-chan~! I barely got to see you in the summer since you were so busy with the training camps! So of course I'm going to tag along!"

He's a sis-con?! They thought in shock.

"You wouldn't be able to do anything here, Ichi-nii. There's already five people playing."

"So? With dad away on a his business trip, it's up to me to protect you from these lecherous Tokyo wolves!"

Somehow, our cute manager's brother is both what we expected and didn't expect at the same time... The older brother was definitely more protective than the Okuma head was towards Tomoko.

"Mah," Teppei piped up and gained the two siblings' attention. Even though Ichirou looked at him suspiciously, he only smiled and stuck out his hand for the older male to shake. "I find that very admirable! It is also the entire basketball team's duty to protect Okuma-chan, so rest assure! Let's have some fun today, shall we?"

When the older Okuma didn't say anything at first, the first-years held their breaths. What's going to happen?! Are we going to die?!

Finally, Ichirou seemed to have taken in Teppei's honest words to heart as a determined smile stretched across his face. "I approve of you," he took Teppei's hand and shook it vigorously. "I was worried that Tokyo would be filled with disgusting wolves trying to get their grubby claws on my cute imouto-chan, but you are certainly reliable!"

"Ah! Thank you for saying that!" Teppei also smiled, mirroring Ichirou's expression.

"I will put my trust in you when I'm not around! Will you take this important job of looking after my imouto-chan?"

"I will be honored, Okuma-san!"

"What is your name, good samurai?"

"Kiyoshi Teppei!"

Kagami, Kuroko, and the other two first-years blinked incredulously at the scene before them. The two males were hitting it off in such a short period of time!

"Don't mind Ichi-nii," Tomoko laughed by their side. She didn't look too bothered by the two enthusiastic males. "He's always like this."

Rather... they looked back at Teppei and Ichirou. They're kind of alike!
