The Only One (Hayama Kotaro x OC)

You Think So?

"Do you know what he might like to receive for his birthday?" the shorter one said. "You know, we wanted to give him something since he's turning 18."

"No." Aiko stated. "I don't know what to give him myself."

"Oh, ok. Thank you so much, Akashi-san!" they said in chorus bowing and left.

"Good. Let's finish this!" Aiko thought. "I must not think about his present now. It's June so I have a month left. Wait, why am I thinking about it?" she thought slamming her head on the table. "He said everything that I'll give him will be ok, right? Then I'll punch him right in the face." she raised her head. "It comes from me, doesn't it?"

After she finished her homework, Aiko headed to the gym.

"Why don't you just confess?" a deep voice asked. "This is getting kind of weird."

"But what if she rejects me?" Kotaro whined. "I don't want her to hate me!"

"She's not that kind of girl." another male voice stated. "She's a friend of yours."

"Try to tell her indirectly." the guy with the deep voice said. "Aiko is smart, she'll get it."

"Get what?" Aiko asked from Kotaro's back.

Kotaro jumped into a dark colored skin's arm. That guy was very tall and had an extremely muscular body. He had short black hair, that was styled with two stripes each at the sides of his head.

"Oh, don't ask me!" he said dropping Kotaro on the floor.

"Eikichi, shut up!" Kotaro exlaimed.

A guy, who had long black hair, gentle-looking green eyes, with outstandingly long eyelashes, rather slim and tall stature compared to the other players, patted Aiko's shoulder.

"What's your type of guy, Aiko?" he asked.

"What kind of question is this, Reo?" she asked walking away. "Where is Sei?"

"Here." he was behind her rubbing her hair. "Let's start practice."

~After practice~

"Aiko-chan~!" Kotaro called. "Do you want to come with me to the park? I wanna show you some new tricks with my skateboard!"

"Sure, let me finish here first." she said putting some papers in her bag. "Are those tricks new for real? Last time you said 'Look at my new tricks, Aiko-chan~!' but they were the same as the time before."

"Damn, she realized!" Kotaro thought. "Well, this means she was looking!"

"This is new!" Kotaro smiled.

"'This'?" Aiko raised an eyebrow and placed her hands on her hips. "You said 'some new tricks'."

"Ok, ok. I have none. But, do you want to come anyways?" Kotaro asked scratching his nape.

"Fine." she sighed. "But you have to buy me an ice-cream."

"Sure!" Kotaro exclaimed with sparkling eyes.

As soon as Aiko was ready, they left the gym and headed to the park.

"I forgot to tell Sei that I'm with you!" Aiko said taking her phone.

Aiko: Sei, sorry! I should've told you before! (ｼ_ _) ｼ I'm at the park with Hayama-kun because he wants to show me his new tricks with his skateboard.

"If I tell him I'm just wandering around with him he won't accept it at all!" she thought.

Seijuro: Ok, but you're cooking Tofu soup for dinner.

Aiko: Ok, see you!

"So, what was the answer to Reo-nee's question?" Kotaro asked.

"What question? 'How long are we going to run?'?" Aiko asked confused. "He asks quite a lot."

"No, no! What's your type of guy?" he asked jumping on his skateboard.

"I've never though about it..." Aiko confessed.

"Let's make it easier then." Kotaro proposed. "What's the type of guy that you hate?"

"Uhm... hate? Two-faced ones; perverts, but not Daiki's level, he's a nice pervert. Wait, that sounded quite wrong. Anyways, I hate violent guys and those who don't listen to me while I talk." Aiko explained. "What about you?"

"I have a girl I like, so I don't like any other girl." he said smiling.

"Who is she?"

"Not telling you!" he said sticking his tongue out.

"Tch, fine!" she said looking away.

"But I can tell she's beautiful, and that I've liked her for eight months now."

"Are you that kind of guy who likes a girl because of her appearance?" Aiko asked looking at him.

"No, I'm not!" Kotaro said quickly. "It's not like I've come to like her because of her appearance! I like her because of how she talk, moves, cooks and things like this. She's very smart too." he said looking up. "And we've known each other for a year, more or less."

"Ok, then." Aiko stated. "Do I know her?"

"What kind of question is this? I'm talking about you!" Kotaro thought.

"Uhm, yes?" he answered sweatdropping. "I don't know how to answer this question."

"Describe her." she ordered.

"She's smaller and younger than me, she has beautiful golden eyes and red hair and... and I really like her!" he smiled blushing slightly.

"There are lots of redhead with golden eyes here in Kyoto." Aiko said placing her right index on her mouth. "What do you think she'll give you for your birthday?"

"That's my chance to figure out what to buy, or at least something similar." Aiko thought.

"Her love?" Kotaro said chuckling. "I know she won't because she doesn't like me at all, she thinks I'm annoying." he explained looking at his skateboard. "But I think everything she's going to give me is ok. I told her already."

"Are you saying this to everyone?"

"No." he smiled.

"Anyways, why are you saying she thinks you're annoying?"

"She calls me 'annoying' like... everyday?"

"I don't know what you did to make her call you 'annoying' but I don't think you are." Aiko admitted. "You're just hyperactive."

"Really?" Kotaro asked with sparkling eyes.

"Really." she smiled.

"What about you? Do you like someone?"

"Didn't I just tell you I don't know what kind of guy I like?" Aiko chuckled. "I don't know."

"What does this mean?"

"I'm talking in Japanese, you should've understood! I don't know means I. Don't. Know."

"Ok, ok. I was just curious!" he said running away towards the park. "Come on! I'll show you my tricks!"

Aiko rolled her eyes and followed him.

"So childish." she thought. "But that's one of the things that makes him special. Wait, what?"
