Become a Manager At Kuroko No Basket
Chapter 44's

Upon waking up in the morning, Rei checked his refrigerator. The food ingredients in his house were few.

"I forgot it's the end of the month." Mumbled.

Rei decided to take a shower and made a shopping list. He walked alone to the supermarket near his home.

After arriving at the supermarket, he looked for the goods and ingredients he needed based on the shopping list he had made earlier.

While on the shelf snack section, he saw Murasakibara who was taking several snacks with a large amount. Rei decided to approach her.

"Father, Murasakibara-kun." Greet Rei with a smile.

Murasakibara then looked.

"O...Rei-chin's." Say it with a flat face.

"What are you doing here?" Ask Rei.

"I'm buying some snacks." Murasakibara.

"Where's Himuro-kun? You're not with him?" Ask Rei.

"No, I came alone." Murasakibara said nonchalantly and showed a displeased face.

'Is he angry? But it's a little weird that he's here just to buy a snack, while from Akita here it's pretty far.' Inner Rei thought. 'But seeing her face like that was cute too.' Rei then smiled slightly.

"Murasakibara-kun, are you angry?" Rei asked but Murasakibara ignored him by turning his face away.

"Gomen ne, Murasakibara-kun." Rei said but Murasakibara still ignored him. "I'm gonna make you a cake so don't get mad again, okay?"

Murasakibara immediately turned his head with a glowing face and nodded.

'Malays...' Inner Rei with a smile.

After they finished shopping, they walked over to Rei's house. Murasakibara as usual was busy eating a newly purchased snack, while Rei was just busy thinking about what cake he would make. As he was confused, he turned to Murasakibara to ask.

"Murasakibara-kun, what kind of cake do you want to eat?" Ask Rei.

"I'll eat anything if Rei-chin makes it." Murasakibara.

'I'm just asking him.' Inner Rei.

After reaching Rei's house, he invited Murasakibara to sit in the living room.

"If you need anything, you can call me in the kitchen." Said Rei then went to the kitchen.

'I guess what I'll do?' Inner Rei thought.

Not finding an idea, he searched the internet.

'Lava chocolate cake seems good.' Inner Rei.

Rei then took out the necessary ingredients from the refrigerator and the grocery bag earlier. He then prepared the necessary tools and began making the cake.

Murasakibara just sat in the living room while eating his snack, he also occasionally glanced towards the kitchen where Rei was making the cake that he promised.

1 hour later, the cake Rei made was finished. Murasakibara is still busy eating his snack to make there is a lot of garbage from the packet of snacks that he had eaten. Rei who saw it was only a head bobble.

Rei then approached Murasakibara who was still busy eating his snack.

"Kun-kun." Call Rei who made Murasakibara turn his head.

"Rei-chin, is the cake ready? I want to eat the cake that Rei-chin made." Murasakibara was busy chewing.

"I wouldn't give you the cake if you didn't clean up the mess you made." Said Rei while pointing at one of the plastic trash from the snack that Murasakibara ate.

"Kun-kun." Rei said this time with a threatening tone.

"Ha'i ha'i." Murasakibara said still in a lazy tone and then stood up from his seat and removed all the plastic waste from the snack he ate earlier.

After Murasakibara cleared the trash, Rei brought the cake he had made to the living room where Murasakibara was sitting.

Rei then placed the cake he had made on the table. He took a knife, a plate and a spoon. When Rei returned to the kitchen, Murasakibara had eaten the cake he had made to the bottom of the pot.

'I don't think this is necessary anymore.' Inner Rei while looking at the knife, plate and spoon in his hand.

Rei returned to the kitchen to put the tools he had brought back into place.

After that, Rei returned to the living room and sat down beside Murasakibara who was eating his cake.

When Murasakibara finished eating the cake, Rei took a tissue to wipe Murasakibara's mouth and hands.

"Murasakibara-kun, you shouldn't eat like that. Your face is a mess." Rei nagged Murasakibara.

"The cake that Rei-chin made was so delicious, I couldn't help myself." Murasakibara said with his innocent face.

"Other times there's no need to rush, no one's going to eat your cake." Rei said with a smile.

Murasakibara suddenly kissed Rei's lips, which made Rei startled to glare.

Murasakibara then finished the kiss and saw Rei's face which still showed his surprise.

"Rei-chin's lips are so sweet, I want to try them again." Murasakibara said still with his innocent face.

"Mu, Murasakibara-kun..." Rei who was still not fully conscious was again startled by Murasakibara who kissed him again. This time not only kissing, Murasakibara also licked his lips.

When Murasakibara had stopped, Rei turned his face away and tried to regain his consciousness.

"Rei-chin, are you angry?" Ask Murasakibara.

"E-Eh, I'm not mad. It's just.., it surprised me." Said Rei nervously as a result of Murasakibara's actions earlier.

"Because it tastes so sweet, I can't help myself. Gomennasai, Rei-chin." Murasakibara said with a guilty face.

"Yes, Murasakibara-kun. Daijobu, I'm not mad at you." Rei said with a smile to reassure Murasakibara.

"So Rei-chin likes me?" Ask Murasakibara.

"If so, I'm not sure of my own feelings. Gomen, Murasakibara - kun." Said Rei with a gloomy face and a feeling of guilt.

"I'll wait for Rei-chin until whenever." Murasakibara said this time with a serious face.

Hearing that, Rei then turned his head and looked into Murasakibara's eyes for a while.

'No lies.' Inner Rei.

After that Murasakibara went home not forgetting to bring his bag of groceries that now only half left.

Rei then laid himself down on the sofa after driving Murasakibara to his front. He then covered his face with a pillow.

'Stupid me, there is no way a person like Murasakibara would lie.' Inner Rei then the incident when Murasakibara kissed him earlier was again imagined by him. It made his face red.

'What am I really thinking?!' Inner Rei who was getting frustrated because the shadow about the incident could not be lost from his mind.

He then decided to cool his head with a cold shower while trying to remove the shadow about the incident.
