"What?! Oh, you cheater!" Allura called you out, pointing a finger your way. You only chuckled and waited for her to get the puck so you two could start again before time ran out.
"Okay, so you wanna play dirty I see," Allura said a glint in her eyes.
"Hey, we never discussed the rules." You say nonchalantly.
You both continued with the game, each time you scored, Allura would score after you. The game was in a continuous tie and it felt like it was dragging on for hours. Eventually, the others had found you and some had chosen to place a bet and pick sides.
"I bet five bucks, (Y/n) will win!" Lance proclaimed to Keith, to which he had scoffed.
"Heh, as if." Right as he uttered those words, you had scored a goal.
"Ok. . .you're on!" Keith said in a more determined voice and shook Lance's hand, taking the bet.
"C'mon Allura! If you win, I get a whole cheesecake to myself!" Pidge exclaims while putting her fist in the air.
"(Y/n), hurry up and win so I don't have to meet Pidge's demands!" Hunk cried for your glory, clasping his hands together praying you would win soon.
Allura had scored another goal, filling you with more determination to win.
"Can you two hurry so others can play." You hear Shiro say on the sidelines. You don't ever recall Shiro picking a side. Surprising, you figured he would cheer for Allura, instead, he was urging you both to finish up.
You scored another goal, able to slip passed Allura's defense, another point to your name. You now only had a minute left, you knew it would feel like forever, but in reality, it wouldn't last long. So you knew you would have to switch up your style. Now you were more defensive, you didn't try to score any goals since you were one point ahead of Allura. You just needed to pay attention to her, she, could not by any circumstances, let her score.
She hit the puck aggressively towards you, ever since a minute had clocked out on the timer, her gameplay became more aggressive. Which made it all the harder to stand your ground and keep her from scoring another goal. Once the puck made it to your side you hit it as hard as you could, sending it back flying her way. She panicked and hit the puck back shakily, you guessed she wasn't expecting it to come at her so quickly. The puck came back at you with a steady pace and, taking this opportunity with her awkward position and all, you hit the puck with as much force as you could muster and shot it into the goal with two seconds to spare. You threw your arms in the air and smiled. You had won.
"Yeah! Woohoo! I believe you owe me five dollars." Lance turned to Keith and stuck out his palm. The violet-eyed boy rolled his eyes and scoffed in annoyance. He reached into his pocket and aggressively placed five dollars into Lance's hand. The Cuban-boy smirked, after that exchange, he made his way over to you and wrapped his arm around your shoulders.
"Awe! I don't get my cheesecake!" Pidge complained, her head hanging as she sulked.
"I'll get you one if it'll make you feel better." Shiro offers Pidge, her mood had changed drastically when hearing this.
"Good game, (Y/n), but it won't be the last," Allura says as she outstretched her hand for you to shake.
"Oh? Is that a challenge?" You ask with a bit of sarcasm lacing your vocals. You both laugh and soon you took her hand in yours, spiritually promising each other that this wasn't the end.
"(Y/n), I'd almost forgot!" Lance says as he drags you over to the mini basketball game-thing.
"Erm. . .I don't know, I'm not much when it comes to sports." He looked at you confused but had replaced his puzzled expression with a smile quickly.
