Soooooo, this was for the 500 follower crossover celebrationâŚyou
are a lovebug for being so patient with me taking my sweet ass time and itâs
not even that great. So, apologies if this is lame but I hope it isnât and that
you like it!
Aomine flashes you a flirtatious grin as he lays up another
flawless shot.
âGood job, Aomine-kun!â He hears your voice above the din of
the crowd, his ears finely tuned to the pitch of your voice. Heâs pretty sure
heâs never fallen this hard for someone before and though he breathes
confidence, the idea of confessing to you makes his chest tighten uncomfortably.
Heâs not used to feeling doubt.
âGet your head in the game Aomine,â Imayoshi comments lowly.
âTch, I could win this with my eyes closed by myself,â he
snaps back, running further down the court.
The game ends in Tooâs favor, not really surprising anyone.
After cooling down and the team meeting, Aomine is out of the locker room, eyes
eagerly seeking for your form. But when he finds you, his face sets into an
even deeper scowl than normal. Who the hell is the giant looming over you and
why do you have that starry look in your eyes?
He quickens his pace, calling out, âHey, _____-chan!â
You look up, smile just as bright as before and he doesnât
know whether to feel thankful or irritated that youâre giving him the same look
you just gave the male standing next to you.
âAomine-kun, you were great!â you say.
âYou know I know that already, right?â he teases earning a
sock to his arm. âGeez, you hit like a girl,â he rumbles ruffling your hair. Heâs
completely ignoring the other presence, clearly showing heâs not interested in
who he is, just waiting for him to leave you and he alone.
But youâre too polite for that kind of behavior.
âAomine-kun, this,â you say stretching your hands towards
the other male, âIs Ushijima Wakatoshi, one of my friends from junior high.â
Aomine finally looks at the brunette, tilting his chin up in
a slight greeting, only doing so because he doesnât want to be rude to you.
âNice to meet you,â Ushijima rumbles sticking out his hand.
Aomine grips it tightly, shaking once then dropping it.
âSo, you ready to go?â Aomine asks looking back at you.
You bite your bottom lip which almost has Aomine groaning
for two reasons. One, you look damn sexy when you do that and two, itâs your
tell that youâre about to say something he isnât going to like.
âIâm sorry, Aomine-kun,â you say softly, âbut Ushijima-kun
is only in town for tonight and we havenât seen each other in such a long time.
Can we do a rain check?â
âWhy donât we all just go out together?â Imayoshiâs voice
draws all of your attention. âIt isnât every day we meet such an astute
representation of our country, at least in terms of volleyball.â
Ushijima bows slightly to the compliment before looking back
at you. âItâs your call, _____-chan,â he says.
âUm, sure! Letâs go,â you reply and the whole basketball team
plus one volleyball player and you head off to a local restaurant. The evening
goes fairly well, despite Aomineâs irritated glares sent to Ushijima whenever
he seems to get a little too close to you. Itâs clear to the ace heâs
interested in you but you seem just as oblivious to his advances as you are to
Aomineâs.
At the end of dinner, while youâre in the restroom and the
rest of the guys are paying their bills, Aomine leans toward Ushijima saying
lowly, âLetâs get one thing clear. Youâre a part of _____-chanâs past, Iâm part
of her present and her future. So
back off.â
Ushijima, unruffled as ever, meets the hard stare of the
basketball prodigy and shrugs. âAt the end of the day, itâs _____-chanâs
choice. But we have history, so donât think youâve got this in the bag,â he
replies.
âWhatâs in the bag?â you ask stepping out of the door.
âNothing,â they both reply then look at you. And in that
moment, a lingering apprehension forms in the back of your mind; just what were
these two talking about anyway?
