They’re broken up, but it wasn’t that simple. Taiga knew well enough how it would go: Aomine said all the right words, surprisingly, showing more maturity and dignity than he could ever expect from him -- but it wasn’t enough, not to patch over the raw, open wound where their love used to be. Tatsuya always teased him about not being able to let go, but Taiga had never seen it as a problem before. He was tenacious, yeah, and determined, hell yeah and he spotted Aomine breezing into the club like he didn’t have a worry in the world and Taiga's heart burned.
Taiga had come with someone. He was sure of it, someone distracting hot and accommodating when it came to a guy whose mind was papered over entirely with basketball and his ex -- but that date had gone bust quickly and now he was alone, drinking at the bar. Taiga knew he looked good -- it wasn’t narcissistic to state the obvious, was it? -- but no one approached him, probably because the powerful fuck you vibes he was giving off.
Aomine spotted him and smiled and then walked away. He walked away and something in Taiga snapped. He rose from his seat and tossed some bills to the bartender -- more than enough to pay for his drinks and an apology to plunging this corner of the bar into his dark mood for so long. He headed out to find Aomine.
He found him, of course. Outside, talking to someone else. Well, talking might be a bit much -- although tongues seemed to be involved. Taiga knew it’d be smart to just walk away now. They weren’t together anymore and it was no longer his business who or what Aomine stuck his dick in. But just as he was back tracking, his foot hit a trash can and it came crashing down.
Aomine’s partner startled and saw Taiga. He was gone before Taiga could apologize, leaving him alone with a sulking Aomine. Taiga was pretty sure he wasn’t in love with Aomine anymore, because when he had been, he would’ve found that expression weirdly adorable. But now he was just irritated.
“Hey, Kagami,” Aomine said, pointing urgently towards his crotch. “Since you blew my date, are you gonna blow me?”
“Fuck you,” Taiga said tiredly. “I’ll buy you one drink, but that’s it.”
“Cheapo,” Aomine said, zipping up his fly.
The bartender didn’t even pretend to be surprised when they both turned up at the bar. Instead, he set forth a new shot of whiskey for Taiga and waited for Aomine’s order. He was a nice looking guy, Taiga thought, and was reminded vaguely of Tatsuya, although pretty much any handsome, black haired guy did that.
He had nice hands, Taiga thought. Thin fingers and strong wrists.
“Are you dating anyone?” Aomine asked him. “Since we --”
“Some,” Taiga said, which wasn’t true, but Aomine didn’t need to know that.
“Liar,” Aomine said, grinning. Taiga gave him a sour look.
“What about you? Slutting it across the playoffs?”
“Jealousy doesn’t suit you, Kagami,” Aomine said.
“I’m not jealous,” Taiga said. “Because I’m not in love with you anymore.”
Aomine winced and looked around, but no one was paying attention to them. The bartender drifted by and refilled the bowl of peanuts between them.
“What, you just figured that out? Right now?”
“... Yeah,” Taiga said, and Aomine snorted, sharply.
“You’re a real idiot, Bakagami,” Aomine said, but he was smiling. “I guess then we can go back to being friends?”
“Ew, who’d want to be friends with you?” Taiga said, grinning back.
“Asshole.”
“Fucker.”
“Shut up.”
“Make me.”
Yeah, Taiga thought. They were back.

Taiga asked the bartender out as soon as Aomine left. He was a little bit surprised when he said yes, but maybe he shouldn’t have been.
