"Star-crossed" or "star-crossed lovers" is a phrase describing a pair of lovers whose relationship is often thwarted by outside forces. The term encompasses other meanings, but originally means the pairing is being "thwarted by a malign star" or that the stars are working against the relationship. Such pairings are often but not always said to be doomed from the start.

Excuse me while I go cry my heart out

Seirin: Eh?  Where’s Kuroko?

Seirin 2: Dead on the bench.

Kuroko (exhausted from practice): It’s hot…I need to recover some of my stamina.

My lack of stamina has never once changed.

Kuroko: I used to lie down like this in the past.  So tired…

Kuroko: Please stop it Aomine-kun.

Aomine: Oh?  What, you knew?

Kuroko: Of course I know.  You’re the only one who would do this.

Aomine: True.

Aomine: Anyways, why are you sleeping here when practice is already over?  Aren’t you going home?

Kuroko: …unlike you guys, if I don’t rest for a bit after practice, I won’t be able to move.

Aomine: You really are weak.

Kuroko: Which is why I’ll lie here a little longer.  You can go home first.

Aomine: Hmm…then I guess I’ll stay here too.

Kuroko: Eh?

Aomine: I’ll wake you up after 30 minutes.

Kuroko: …somehow, I’m a little grossed out by your kindness.

Aomine: !?!?

I thought these days would continue forever.

Even if the past you isn’t here anymore.

I always end up wishing that you may come once more to wake me up like that if I were to nap like this.

Kuroko: But that’s not possible…

Kagami: Oi, Kuroko, you alright?

Kuroko: …Ka-ga-mi…kun?

Kagami: I heard from the captain that you got worn out quickly.  Build more stamina.

Kuroko: Sorry.

Kagami: You look all right now.  You were sleeping like a log.

Kuroko: …I’ve recovered most of my strength, so I’ll go back soon.

Kagami: Then I’ll head out first.

Kuroko: Okay.

image

Sometimes…I want to escape from the reality that greets me after I wake up.

Kuroko: Escape, huh?  What am I escaping from?  The fact that you’re no longer here?

In the end, I’m the one most trapped by the past.  Even when I’m looking for a new light, I’m actually looking for your light.  Just once more, I want to feel your big hand…

Hyuuga: Hm?  All restored already, Kuroko?

Kuroko: Completely.

Kagami: Liar.

Looks like I won’t be able to sleep again tonight.
