When your ex invites you to his wedding, of course you have to go (and of course you can’t go alone.)
***
“So who are you taking to the wedding, Tetsu-kun?” Momoi asks, leaning against the doorway and zipping her jacket up.
Kuroko shrugs and sips at his drink, letting the hot liquid spill past his lips and teeth, filling the space where his tongue rests and sloshing over his tastebuds.
“I’d ask you but you’ll be overseas then,” he says, too aware of her schedule. It’s penciled in pink over his own calendar, Momoi drawing hearts on the day that she’ll be in town and not touching the long, long spaces where she’s away.
Momoi gives him a quick, guilty smile and suggests, “Why not ask Dai-chan?”
Kuroko pictures Aomine - loud, huge, rude - in the middle of a carefully arranged traditional wedding and flinches.
“I think that bringing an elephant might be politer,” he says wryly and Momoi laughs.
“Kise?” is her next suggestion. “He’s better behaved.”
“Puppies are better behaved than Daiki,” Kuroko points out but he considers Kise anyway. Kise always knows how to behave, even if he sometimes chooses not to, and he’s sure to have received an invitation to the wedding as well. Kise is a safe choice and Kise, more than the others apart from Aomine, truly cares about Kuroko.
But that’s what’ll make him so unbearable during the wedding. He’ll be all clingy concern and protectiveness. Kuroko won’t be able to stand it.
“No,” he says without offering any further explanation. “Not Kise-kun.”
Momoi hums and for a second, Kuroko wonders if she’ll suggest Murasakibara. Akashi’s surely laid on a special dessert table if he’s invited him too.
Instead, she blows him a kiss and says comfortingly, “If you don’t have anyone by the date of the wedding, let me know. I’ll find you a friend who can escort you.”
“Thank you,” he says with a little bow and a smile. Somehow, Momoi’s concern is never hard to accept.

It’s 10:48PM by the time Midorima pulls into his driveway and he’s exhausted. The sight of a small figure seated patiently outside his house confuses him at first until he recognizes it as Kuroko. But what’s Kuroko doing there?
Kuroko stands up as Midorima walks up the driveway; Midorima pauses in front of him and Kuroko bows slightly, holding out the same embossed invitation that’s been resting on Midorima’s kitchen table for a month.
“Midorima-kun,” Kuroko says formally, “Would you go to Akashi-kun’s wedding with me?”
Unbidden, the corners of Midorima’s lips lift into a slight smile. Akashi’s two ex-boyfriends going to his wedding together?
“I wasn’t planning to go,” he says and Kuroko nods.
“I know,” Kuroko says simply, “But will you go with me?”
