Kuroko no Basuke: Mitobe's Moment of Truth

=====================================================

The stage was set for another electrifying basketball match at Touou Academy as the buzzer sounded off, signaling a sudden change in lineups. The crowd held its breath as Aomine walked towards Kuroko, his teammate and childhood friend.

'Hey, Tetsu,' Mitobe called out cheerfully from the sidelines. 'It's good to see you again.' He couldn't help but crack a knowing smile at seeing his fellow player's expression change upon hearing his voice. There was something undeniably satisfying about catching someone off guard like this.

'I was wondering what face you'd make,' Mitobe continued, chuckling to himself as he recalled the countless times Kuroko had been caught off balance by unexpected events throughout their high school years together at Teikou Academy's basketball team.

As Aomine approached him with a confident grin plastered across his face, it was clear that today would be no exception. 'I like it,' Mitobe quipped mischievously as he eyed Kuroko up and down. The way the light danced in those piercing blue eyes of his always managed to send shivers down even the calmest of nerves.

'You look ready to go, Tetsu,' Aomine taunted playfully, clapping a hand on Mitobe's shoulder in friendly encouragement before turning back towards Kuroko once again. 'Let's see what you've got out there today.'

Kurogo simply nodded curtly without responding further; after all, as they often said: 'actions speak louder than words.' With that cryptic comment hanging thick in the air like an unspoken challenge waiting to be accepted or rejected by both himself and his opponents alike - it was time for Mitobe-san's moment of truth on this particular evening at Touou Academy.
