It was unnerving, but he did it.

Kagami finally had the courage to ask [Name] to hang out and get a burger after basketball practice. When he approached her sitting on the bench, his whole body was trembling. It was a hard thing to ask from the pretty girl, but he finally did it. He should have been proud, but one stupid thing crossed his mind. Something the girl would soon find out.

About his sweaty palms.

He had been feeling so out of breath and awkward around [Name] after he first realized he was actually in love with her. That was months ago when she first came to watch his practice.

But there she was. Sitting across from him, sipping on her vanilla milkshake and laughing at the lame jokes he picked up from America. He felt as if they were they only two in the world, and hoping maybe she was feeling the same way. And yes she was.

Kuroko was there with them too, beside Kagami as usual. The red head was too afraid to be there by himself. Afraid that maybe [Name] would bail out if she thought it was a date. Afraid that she would feel awkward and wouldn't be laughing the way she was now. Afraid that she'd just find some reason not to be there, hanging out as friends.

When he told her that Kuroko was coming along, he swore he saw a look of dejection cross that beautiful face of hers. And yet, stupidly, he shook it off as a figment of his own silly imagination.

"Why do you always hang out with Kuroko?" [Name] broke away his thoughts with that same beautiful, and bright smile of hers. It had always found a way to make his heart race every single freaking time.

The red head cleared his throat, a small blush rising on his cheeks. "B-Because we're t-t-teammates."

Damn. He felt his palms getting slick with sweat. It was infuriating, and pretty disgusting too. Well, in his eyes and maybe another person's as well. Mild sweating would have been acceptable, even welcomed to him, but his water-bending palms were beyond annoying. He wiped his palms on his pants and chuckled nervously when she looked his way and noticed.

"Are you okay?" she asked, still smiling at him. At him.

"Y-Yes..." he muttered. He looked to his side at Kuroko. The blue haired was nowhere to be seen, and he mentally cursed.

Taking note of his realization, [Name] giggled.

"He left a while ago. He said he had something to take care of."

"Oh."

Another silent moment passed. Kagami watched her unwrap her burger and take a bite out of it with her small, yet plumped lips. He smiled inwardly when she closed her eyes in pure satisfaction. She liked burgers. That was a really, really good thing.

"Not eating?" [Name] suddenly asked, a light blush creeping up her face when they locked eyes for a moment in which Kagami failed to notice.

The red haired basketball player just grinned sheepishly and unwrapped his burger. For some reason, he didn't feel like eating. Something in the back of his mind was bothering him, and his sweaty palms didn't help at all. After wasting his time unwrapping the burger, he set it back down on the tray and took a sip of his coke, looking out the window.

God. He needed to get it off his chest. But, how would he say it to her?

"Kagami-kun, I need to tell you something," she spoke up, her eyes making contact with his once again. She took a breath and opened her mouth to continue, but the basketball Ace only put a hand up and sighed.

He cleared his throat. "I want to say something first. Before it's too late."

"Really? Wait-- are we thinking of the same thing?" she suddenly asked, the hotness of her face never cooling.

He looked at her with wide eyes. "Are we?"

[Name] scratched the back of her head and giggled sheepishly. Kagami thought she looked so adorable and sucked in his breath, a small drop of sweat dripping down his forehead. Damn him, and his stupid teenage hormones.

"Well, I forgot my math notes so I was wondering if I could borrow yours," she mumbled. "Unless you don't have yours with you right now."

Damn it, he thought.

"Oh. Yeah of course. But, I don't even pay attention in class so they're probably not as useful," Kagami chuckled.

He dug into his schoolbag and took out a blue notebook, sliding it across the table before zipping his bag up once again. He turned his attention back to her and beamed another sheepish smile. She smiled back for a moment and placed the notebook in her lap, then took a sip of her vanilla shake.

"So, what were you gonna say?" she wondered.

"Oh...uh...about that...you see..." he muttered lowly, rubbing the back of his neck.

She blinked. "Yes?"

"Heh. I was gonna ask for your English notes!" No, you stupid liar.

The female student let out a soft laugh and took out her her English notebook, holding it out for him to take. Afterwards, the silence returned and she went back to sipping her vanilla shake. And, sadly, his hands went back to dripping with vile sweat. He wiped his hands on his pants for the second time and [Name] noticed once again.

"Sweaty palms, Kagami-kun?" she questioned with a light giggle trailing after.

Said boy only chuckled bashfully and looked out the window, avoiding her curious gaze. "I-It's no-nothing."

"I think it's cute."

His red eyes widened at her statement, and he couldn't help but scoff in disbelief, yet blushing madly. How was sweating--of all things in the world--cute? Why the hell did she think it was cute? To him, it was gross and unhygienic. Off-putting, even. Not something someone should be cooing about. But, she wasn't necessarily cooing him and Kagami thanked God for that.

He finally looked away from her, now completely embarrassed.

"I-it's n-not cu-cute," he muttered under his breath.

"It's cute because it's you."

[Name] looked at him in all seriousness and reached out to the touch his hand that had soon lay on the table. When he felt her soft touch, his body stiffened. She was touching him. Oh God. Compared to his, her hands were soft like a baby's.

"I'm serious, Kagami-kun," she began to speak, her cheeks flushing with the same red that mirrored his face, "I think you're really cute-- not like baby cute, though. But like boyfriend-cute."

He paused.

"[NAME]-SAN, ARE YOU REALLY SERIOUS!?" he asked a bit loudly, gaining attention from a few other customers.

"..."

[Name] blinked a few times. "I...I think so..."

Kagami shot up from his seat and he ran to her side, dragging her out of Burger Maji—not forgetting to take their things. God. He was so happy. So, so happy. This was the happiest time in his life. Well, learning to play basketball was that best time of his life. Other than that, this was one really special day.

When they got outside, he gripped her in a warm embrace, lifting her a foot off the ground. He finally set her back down and pulled away, holding her at arms length and smiled happily. It was the first time she had seen him smile so wide, so brightly. She couldn't help but beam back that same stupid, adorable grin.

"You don't know how happy I am," he mumbled.

[Name] giggled and put a hand on his face, lightly pinching his cheeks and earning a slight scowl.

"But I do," she said.

"I've been meaning to tell you it for a while. But I thought maybe you'd probably think I was just being weird."

She laughed again. "You're an idiot, Kagami-kun."

The red head frowned, crossing his arms across his chest. "W-What!?"

"But you can be my idiot."

She wrapped her arms around his torso and let out a loud laugh, gripping onto the back of his basketball jacket. She pulled him closer, taking in his musky scent as she buried her face in his chest. Did he always smell like this? she thought. He smelled so manly, so she kinda liked it. And, although she couldn't see it, she knew his face was now the color of his hair.

"Kagami-kun, I like you a lot."

"Then, do you want to date?" he suddenly asked, enveloping her in his arms.

She looked up at him with raised eyebrows and smirked. "Of course."

"Promise not to tell Kuroko and the others yet?" he pleaded.

She nodded. "And I promise not to tell them all about your sweaty hands."

"[N-N-Name]!"

For once, Kagami could actually enjoy having sweaty palms.



Extended Ending:

Kagami laid on his bed, thinking about [Name] and a smile surfaced his rough features. The beeping of his phone broke away his thoughts and he picked it up, reading the text messages from his team mates and coach. But, the one from Kuroko caught his attention and he suddenly felt his left eye twitch.

'I guess your hands have done you good, Kagami-kun.'

"GOD DAMMIT, [NAME]!"
