THE NEXT DAY:

"You got everything?" ( D/n ) asks you as you walk through the front door of your house, a small bag of food slung over your shoulder. You nod as you approach the car parked next to the sidewalk.

"You do realise we could take a train right? It'll be much quicker." You point out as you open the front door and chuck the bag in and onto the passenger seat.

"Yeah but then we wouldn't be able to eat freely or play our playlist now would we?" He says, shutting the back door on the other side of the car he walks around to you.

"I'm going to say goodbye to the boys, you don't have to if you don't want to but it'll be nice if you do." He tells you as he walks past you, a small smile on his mouth.

You watch him walk into the house before looking back at the car in front of you. You turn back to the door. The car, the door, the car, the door. You sigh before following the same direction as your dad, you were surprised by your actions.

"Make sure 'Tsumu doesn't touch the stove. Also, I'm fine with you having girls- or guys over but no parties and clean up after yourselves." You hear ( D/n ) instruct before he tells them when ( M/n )'s new shifts are.

You lean against the wall, behind the step into the main house. Tapping your foot on the stone floor, you feel your patience running thin as your dad ruffles their hair and places a quick kiss on their foreheads before turning to your direction.

"See you boys later!" He says, waving to them over his shoulder while walking towards you. When he turns to you his eyes widen in surprise to see you standing there.

"See yous." You monotonously say, nodding your head at them as ( D/n ) walks past you. You watch their eyes widen before they return to their normal size.

"Have fun ( Y/n )!" Atsumu says with a smile, Osamu says goodbye to you as well with a small smile. You give them a barely noticeable smile back before turning your back to them, following your dad out the door. You suddenly stop and turn to them.

"Don't bother trying to get into my room. I'll know and kick your ass if you do." You say in a low tone as you look at them over your shoulder. Your eyes were ice cold as you sent them a warning glare before shutting the door behind you, leaving your brothers with goosebumps on their skin.

After a while, both of them feel their phones vibrate in sync, causing them to take their phones out of their pockets.

One new message from:
( Y/n )

> take care of yourselves and each other. See yous in a few days.

Both of your brothers smile at the text, their chests warming up as they reread it.

"We should probably get goin' now too." Osamu says, turning off his phone and shoving it in the pocket of his pants. He turns to the couch and picks up his bag, bringing his hand and arm through the strap.

"Oh shit yer right! We got ten minutes before school starts!" Atsumu exclaims when he sees the time on the clock before scrambling to grab his bag. Thank goodness there's no practice today. Osamu sighs as he follows the running fake blonde out the door.

- ☹︎ -

As soon as the two of you leave town, you pull out your phone and go to Spotify. As you were scrolling through your playlists, you find the one you were looking for and click on it with a smile.

Memories of screaming the lyrics to all of these songs with your friends despite them being shit at speaking English run through your mind. Well, Bokuto and Kuroo screamed them with you and ( D/n ) while Akaashi and Kenma would question their life choices and join in when they felt like it.

(These are only a few :) also are all of these songs on my liked songs? hell yeah)

- ☹︎ -

"I'M WITH TWO BAD BITCHES THEY GOT ASS ON 'EM!" ( D/n ) screams in english with his sunglasses on as he held down the lever on the side of the chair to make him lean back. He pulls it up at down, sending him back and forwards while he yells at the top of his lungs.

"DAMN I LOVE THE WAY SHE CLAP ON 'EM!" You yell back at him, the windows all the way down as you wait for the lights to turn green. You were also wearing sunglasses, earning some confused stares from the people walking past the car on the crossing.

"SHAKE! SHAKE AND I MIGHT THROW THE RACKS ON 'EM!" ( D/n ) yells, his head now turning to you as he shouts the words at you.

"IF A *silence* OUT OF STATE THEN SHE GON TRAP FOR ME! URGH!" You yell back at him.

"IT AIN'T THURSDAY BUT SHE GON' THROW IT BACK ON EM!" ( D/n ) screams, head tilted back.

"DAMN I LOVE THE WAY SHE CLAP ON EM! DAMN I LOVE THE WAY SHE CLAP ON EM! DAMN I LOVE THE WAY SHE CLAP ON EM!" You both yell while clapping your hands and jumping up and down in your seats, shaking the car. The lights turn green, allowing your dad to stomp on the pedal, causing you both to skid down the road.

"TWO MORE HOURS OF THIS SHIT?! WE GONNA RUN OUTTA SONGS!" You scream after you finished hyping your dad up while he rapped Flo Milli's part as you exit the town you were just passing through.

"HUH?!" Your dad asks, cupping his ear closest to you in an attempt to hear you over the new song playing. You huff as you reach for the small car screen in front of you to turn down the volume.

"I said we're gonna run out of songs." You tell him, briefly looking down at the phone in front of you.

"She'll be right." He shrugs with a smile. He rests his elbows on the lowered window.

"Can you pass me a lollipop?" He asks, nodding at the large packet rested near your feet. You nod before reaching down to pick it up. You pull out a strawberry flavoured lollipop and hand it to him.

"Thanks." He says, letting go of the steering wheel. He brings his chair forward so his knees could reach it. He steers the car with his knees as he unwraps the lollipop with ease.

(heh that rhymes)

"How the hell did you do that so easily?" You ask him, pointing at the candy in his hand before it disappears into his mouth. He just smirks at you before turning back to the road, his hair flows in the wind as he twirls the lollipop around in his mouth.

"Well damn okay." You playfully huff and turn to the side causing your dad to laugh.

"When we get to Tokyo we can stop by at my brother's, well, your uncle's house to drop off our shit. I'll have to drop you off at the gymnasium for the game, I've got something to take care of." ( D/n ) says, gripping the steering wheel when he said the last part.

Your eyebrow rises in confusion and your eyes widen. The last time I've seen him grip the steering wheel like that is the day he told us we were leaving for Tokyo. You think to yourself as you stare at his white knuckles.

"Everything okay?" You ask him. You've noticed he's been acting kind of weird recently. He never scolded you for dissing ( M/n ) and had been constantly checking his phone with a frown for the past week. He quickly covers his frown with a smile and tells you everything's fine.

Everything will be fine ( Y/n ). Everything will be better too. For the four of us anyways. He thinks to himself as he leans back, pulling his seat backwards with him.

"I've been wondering, why don't you have the same surname as uncle Kagetora?" You ask him, leaning your elbow on the door and your cheek against your fist.

"Well, I took our mother's name. Both of our parents were pretty famous in the sporting world but I decided to use hers and let her family name be remembered through basketball." He tells you with a small smile as he remembers his mother.

"Besides, me and dad don't get along all that well." He says with a careless shrug. You nod, understanding his situation.

You never liked your grandpa, ( D/n )'s father. He was always such an ass to your dad whenever you went to visit him. He was stuck up and always serious about every little thing. And hell was he dramatic, and not the good kind. Also, you swear he was homophobic but who gives a fuck? He could suck your dick like a little bitch for all you cared.

"You know, that's kinda cute. Taking up grandma's name I mean." You say with a smile. ( D/n ) just rolls his eyes, smiling back at you.

NOW PLAYING:
Don't Stop Me Now
Queen

"OH SHIT I LOVE THIS SONG!" ( D/n ) yells before cranking up the volume till it was so loud that the passing cars could hear it clearly.

"I'M A SHOOTING STAR LEAPING THROUGH THE SKYYYY LIKE A TIGER DEFYING THE LAWS OF GRAVITYYYY!" He screams in english with his head tilted back.

"I'M A RACING CAR PASSING BY LIKE PASSING BY LIKE LADY GODIVA!" You scream with your arms out in front of you as you rock from side to side as if you were driving a car.

"I'M GONNA GO! GO! GO! THERE'S NO STOPPING ME!" You both yell in sync, almost making the car passing you swerve off the road in shock.

- ☹︎ -

AROUND TWO HOURS LATER:

"Finally oh my lord!" You gasp as you dramatically fall out of the car and onto the sidewalk.

"Oh come on it wasn't that bad!" Your dad yells, shutting the door behind him and walking to the back door. You stand up and put your hands on your knees as you bent forward, you place a hand on your chest while you took deep breathes. You look up at him as he walks towards you.

"How about you try getting stuck in a car with a male who farts like he's Shreks' reincarnation?!" You yell up at him, eyes dramatically wide as you point a finger in his direction.

"Not my fault you can't handle the heat!" He laughs down at you, his duffle bag slung over his shoulder. He walks off towards the house you parked in front of.

"Yeah, I could literally feel the car warm up." You mutter in disgust as you stand up straight. Not sure that's how you use that phrase anyways but you do you dad.

I'm totally taking a shower. You think as you open up the door and pull your bag up and off the back seat. You softly shut the door behind you and walk towards the house in front of you.

The house was a simple two-story house of normal size. Average windows, wooden and cream concrete coloured walls and a tiled roof. You softly smile before opening the wooden gate and stepping onto the property.

"Yo uncle Kagetora!" You greet the brown-haired male in front of you when you open the door. He stood in front of your dad and wore a small smile as they conversed. He stops mid sentence to look at you.

"( N/n )!" He greets you with his arms open, oddly enthusiastic. You smile at this and open your arms to your shorter uncle who walks up to you and embraces you.

"Your so damn tall." He grumbles as he pulls away, ruffling your hair, you just smirk down at him.

"Nah you're just old and short." You tell him, causing him to frown at you and a tick mark to form on the side of his head.

"Anyways, you guys are awfully late." He says, arms crossed over his chest and eyebrows furrowing as you hold your head where he bonked you.

"Huh? It's only two isn't it? There's still forty minutes till it starts." You dad points out, changing his shoes into house slippers and following Kagetora through the house. Grumbling, you do the same.

"Huh? Are you dumb? It's nearly three, the game's already started." The brunette says, turning back towards you as you stop in the living room.

"Eh? Seriously?" You and your dad both breath out, tilting your heads to the side in sync.

"Seriously." He confirms with a nod.

Silence envelops the room as you and ( D/n ) blink at Kagetora, sharing a brain cell.

"For real?"

"For real."

*Silence*

"Oh well nothing we can do now." You break the dreadful silence with a shrug as you look of to the side. ( D/n ) karate chops you on the head.

"Ow! What the heck? It's not like they're gonna lose anyway! They've still got semi-finals and finals tomorrow! " You protest, placing two hands over top of each other on your head while ( D/n ) lectures you about how you don't have the right attitude.

"I'm sure Riko will understand. ( N/n ) you'll be staying in her room and ( D/n ) you can stay in the spare room." Kagetora interrupts you both and turns away from you. He turns his head back to you over his shoulder and waves his hand, telling you to follow him, which you do.

"Same layout as always, Riko's got a futon ready for you." Your uncle says as he opens the door with one hand, he nods at the futon on the floor next to your cousin's bed.

Her room had wooden floorboards, a set of shelves, bed, wardrobe and a desk with plain white walls. Her desk was littered with sheets of paper that were messily decorated with scribbles and sketches and was pushed into one corner of her room, her shelves filled with books next to it. Her bed was pressed up in the other corner furthest from and facing the door, the duvet was a simple warm pink.

Her wardrobe had a sliding door with a mirror on one of the sides and was facing the desk's direction on the other side of the room. She also had a small set of drawers next to her bed, it separated your futon from her bed.

"Thanks." You smile at him before walking into the room. You let your bag fall off your shoulder and down next to your futon.

When you hear the two male's voices grow quieter as they move further away from you, you sit down on the futon. You pull out your phone and go to the messenger app.

Sighing, you lie down on the futon, your arms stretched up above you. What can i dooooooo?

"Oi, ( N/n )." You sit up straight and see your dad who leans up against the door frame, arms crossed.

"What's up?" You ask him, crossing your left leg over your right as you lean back on your hands.

"I have that thing I need to deal with and you can't... well- exactly be around while I'm getting it sorted out. Where do you want me to drop you off?" He asks and informs you, still leaning against the doorframe as your eyes widen in surprise.

You lean forward, now crossing your legs and resting you elbows on your thighs. Thinking of all the possible locations, you come up with an idea that makes you smirk.

"I'm going to have a shower first but..." You start, raising your head up to him. He saw the glint of mischief and amusement dancing in your pale eyes and the small smirk on your plump lips which made him regret offering to drop you off anywhere.

"Can you drop me off at Touo Academy?"

- ☹︎ -

"Don't go embarrassing Daiki like last time okay?" He tells you out the rolled down window, lowering his sunglasses and he gives the back of your head a weak glare. You stiffen up before you whip your head towards him.

"How did you hear about that?" You ask him, pointing at him with a shaky index finger. His glare hardens.

"You seriously think I wouldn't hear about you barging into Teiko when you should've been at Fukurodani?" He asks you, his face void of emotions. You nervously smile and scratch your cheek, chuckling quietly at the memory.

"I... urm- ahaaaa" You sigh out before rolling up the sleeve of Murasakibara's hoodie that Kise brought you.

"Oh! Why would you look at the time! *loud gasp* Their practice will end soon. GOTTA GO! SEE YA!" You exclaim before turning away from your dad and sprinting down the road and into the school grounds.

Your dad sighs and shakes his head before turning back to and onto the road. What am I gonna do with that dumbass? He jokes in his head while rolling his eyes.

"Well let's get this over with." He sighs with a frown, running a hand through his hair before turning the corner and merging into the busy streets of Tokyo.

- ☹︎ -

You stroll into the large but quiet school, your hands in your pockets. You felt the warm breeze hit your exposed undercut as you made your way to the gym, a smirk growing on your mouth.

As you walk under the veranda next to the main building towards the gym and field, you could hear the sound of water running.

Turning around the corner, you see a familiar pink-haired girl with her back to you. She brushes her hair behind her ear before returning to the crate of empty bottles beside the running fountain.

Your lips form a smirk as you silently sneak up on her until you stood behind her, your shadow falling over her.

"Excuse me, would you like some help with those?" You whisper in her ear.

She lets out a high pitched squeak and jumps when she feels your hot breath on her ear. She whips her head in your direction, only for her jaw to drop and her eyes to widen.

"( N-N/n )-chan?!" She shrieks, making your smirk grow wider.

"Surprise shawty!" You cheer, arms in the air. Your eyes soften when you see her mouth close and form a wide smile, her deep pink eyes lighting up.

"( N/N )-CHAN!!" She screams again, beaming up at you as she jumps up and wraps her arms around your neck, pulling you down.

You chuckle as you wrap your arms around her waist and pull her closer, bending forward so she still touched the floor and her face wasn't in between your tatas. You bring your head to her neck, your nose in her hair as you inhale her calming scent.

"I've missed you Suki-chan." You whisper with a smile, your breath tickling her neck. She smiles against you shoulder.

"I've missed you too ( N/n )-chan!" She exclaims, unwrapping her arms from your neck.

"How about I help you with those bottles and then you can introduce me to your team yeah?" You suggest with a grin. She nods her head, smiling brightly.

"Mhmm! Sounds good!" She hurriedly nods before quickly turning away to the bottles next to the still running fountain. You quietly laugh at her actions while plucking an empty bottle out of the crate. You unscrew the cap before holding it under the second tap and turning it on.

"You here for the semi-finals and finals tomorrow?" Momoi asks you, watching the bottle in front of her fill up with water. You hum, confirming her words.

"How's school been for you?" You ask her. She smiles before telling you it's been fine and nothing special has happened.

"That's good to hear." You mutter, allowing the two of you to sink into a comfortable silence. You both smile, grateful for each other's presence as the warm sun kisses your skin.

- ☹︎ -

"That's the last one." Momoi says, placing the last bottles in the crates before pulling one up and off the bench with a grunt.

"I'll take them." You say, taking the heavy crate out of her hands. Her eyes widen.

"No, wait! I can take them, I'll just make two trips!" She protests as you stack the one in your hands on top of the other one. You just turn to her, holding both crates and smile at her.

"At least let me take one!" You ignore her.

"Don't worry about it." You say. She sighs, knowing she wasn't going to win this and just turns towards the gym. You follow behind her, your small smile still on your lips.

She slides the metal door open, causing loud screeches to echo through the large gym.

"Ah, Momoi-san. Did you find Aomine?" You hear someone ask as you step in.

"No sorry I got a bit distracted." She sheepishly giggles, scratching her cheek.

"Pardon my intrusion." You monotonously announce, making your presence known. You feel stares come at you from all directions, making you raise the crates so they cover your face.

"Suki-chan, where do you want these?" You ask, turning down to her. She smiles up at you before leading you towards the bench on the sidelines.

"Just here's fine. Thanks ( N/n )-chan!" She says when you place them on the bench and unstack them, placing them beside each other.

"No worries." You say, brushing off the invisible dust off your hoodie. You turn to the group of boys who are staring at you.

"You must be Dai-chan and Suki-chan's team. I'm ( L/n ) ( Y/n ), nice to finally meet you all." You greet with a nod and smile, your hands in your pocket.

"O-oh what a pleasant surprise! It's nice to meet you too ( L/n ). I'm Harasawa Katsunori, the coach." Your eyes flick to a male who was only the tiniest bit taller than you. He had wavy black hair and beautiful purple eyes.

Shhhheeeeeeshhhhh dilf- oh shit he might not have a kid. uhhhhh a cilf! yeah coach I'd like to fuck! oh my lord I'm a genius! You quickly think to yourself as you smile at him and nod. You hum in reply, keeping your cool before the teenage boys introduce themselves.

The only ones you took note of was the captain, Imayoshi Shoichi, a loud, blonde third year, Wakamatsu Kosuke and nervous brunette, Sakurai Ryo.

"Wait a minute." You suddenly say, catching their attention as they were about to go back to practice. You felt anger bubble in your chest and your grey eyes narrow as they dart around the room, your jaw clenches. Momoi gulps at your irritated expression.

"Where's Daiki?" You ask, crossing your arms over your chest as you look into Momoi's eyes before flicking them to Imayoshi who flinches under your glare.

"Er- he skips practice a lot so he's pr-probably on the roof!" Momoi squeaks out, saving the captain from speaking. You turn your gaze down to her and sigh.

You place your hand against your forehead and drag that hand down your face as you sigh again, your glare softer than before but still there.

"Do you lot want Daiki to come to practice today?" You ask them, your hand going into your pockets to retrieve your phone.

"Wait what do you mean if we do?" Wakamatsu asks, taken aback by your question.

"I mean what I ask. Do you want Daiki right here, right now to practice with you all?" You ask them again, firmer this time. Some of the members slowly nod while others stay still, confused by your words.

"Alright then, let's give him a call shall we?" You ask in a playful tone as you press on his contact and the call button. The basketball team watches you put the device up to your ear and the phone ring for a few seconds before you hear some loud noises like clothes shuffling.

"Yo ( N/n ), what's up?" You hear a raspy voice on the other side of the call ask, followed by a yawn.

"Oh, nothing much just wanted to check up on you. I hope I'm not interrupting your practice." You say, putting on a fake worried voice while smirking at the phone. Unknown to you the blue-haired boy gulps and looks at his surroundings, which just so happen to be the rooftop.

"O-oh nah you're all good we're just taking a break anyways." He lies, leaning back on his hand as he closes his eyes and tilts his head upwards, praying you'd believe.

"Wow, you're actually going to practice?"

"Uh, well yeah, got to beat you somehow."

"So you're telling me that if I were to magically teleport to Touo that you wouldn't be up on the rooftop with a magazine over your face?" You question him with a grin.

"Yeah pretty much." He says, keeping his cool. He glances to his side at the magazine that was previously resting on his face.

"Well, I'm glad to hear that! I'll call you later okay?" Your smirk growing wider.

"Yeah, see you." He says, sighing with relief when he sees you've hung up. You chuckle as you stare at the black screen of your phone.

"Gosh, that brat's such a liar. Okay, I'll be back." You say, turning on your heel towards the door.

"Sorry ( L/n )-san! You don't have to! He usually does this. I'm sorry!" The brunette, Sakurai loudly apologises, making you stop in your tracks. You turn to look at him over your shoulder.

"If you lot want Daiki here, he'll be here. History is not repeating itself." You tell them before turning around and muttering the last part, loud enough for Momoi to hear who frowns.

What would we have done without you to humble them ( N/n )? She thinks to herself as she watches you walk further away from the gym and disappear around the corner.

- ☹︎ -

You walk up the flight of stairs that were dimly lit by the small lights on the roof until the stairs stop short in front of a large metal door. Clearing your throat to make your dramatic entrance, you open it.

Surprisingly, despite it being rather heavy, the door was quiet as you pushed it open. When you do, you're met with the bright sunlight and clear blue sky. As well as an empty platform.

"Hm?" You hum to yourself in confusion, stepping away from the door and walk towards the middle of the rooftop. Turning around in circles, you still see no Aomine.

That was until a metal ladder leading up to another level came into view. It leads up to the flat roof of the stairs you just walked up. You shrug before making your way towards and up it.

When you make it to the top and peer over the edge you see a familiar tan male, lying on his back with a magazine over his face, limbs spread out like a starfish. Silently climbing all the way up, you stare at him.

"Damn you're such a shit liar." You sigh, standing up straight as he flinches.

His magazine falls off his face as he shoots up into a seating position. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his elbows and his tie loosely hung around his neck, a few buttons on his shirt were undone. His eyes widen and his jaw drops as he blinks at you.

"Wa-wait wha-WHAT? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" He screams at you, shuffling back as he points his index finger at you. You only laugh at his bewildered expression, confusing him even more.

"Are you not happy to see me Dai-chan?" You ask him, hands in your pockets as you tilt your body to the side, smirking down at him.

"I mean I am, I'm just surprised." Aomine sighs, placing a hand on his head as he stares at the floor with wide eyes, still processing what was happening. You chuckle as you make your way to him.

"Well, I'm happy to see you too. Even though you lied to me." You playfully remind your friend as you place your hand on the floor beside him and lower your body so you sat next to him. He stiffens up at your words.

On one side it may sound like you're joking around, but to him, it sounded like a threat. "You lie to me again and you're a dead man." An old memory of your pale eyes drilling holes into him, your glare on par with Mikasa as your voice echoes in his head when he thinks of the real meaning behind your words.

"Hm? Horiuchi Mako?" You murmur, staring at the abandoned magazine next to Aomine's leg. You lean over him and snatch it off the ground.

"Oi!" Aomine yells, reaching for it. You simply raise your hand, smushing it against his face as you push him back. You smirk at him.

"So you're up here reading this instead of practising and helping your team?" Your eyes narrow as you feel his jaw clench against your hand and his entire body stiffen at your question. He slowly backs away from you and returns to his previous sitting position, leaning back on his hands.

"I guess you could say that." He sighs, looking straight ahead at the clear sky, eager to avoid your stare.

"Why?"

He turns to you and you only stared back. You had one leg stretched forward and the other bent, an arm draped over it while you lean on your hand that's closest to him.

"Because I'm the best." He says, a sudden breeze causes both of your hair to move with it. There was no emotion in his voice as he turns his head forward. You deadpan are him before punching him in the back of the head.

"HEY! WHAT THE HELL?!" Aomine yells, turning to you only to snap his mouth shut when he sees your irritated expression.

"That's embarrassing." You bluntly say, a grin slowly growing on your face while he feels insulted.

"You dare claim you're the best if you can't even beat me? How lame." You tell him, lowering your leg before pulling a lollipop out of your pocket and unwrapping it.

"What's the real reason you won't go?" You ask your friend who was now staring at his lap. You hear him mutter something which leads to you telling him to speak up.

"Because I'm already so far ahead of my team. They can't even catch up as I am now. What's going to happen if I keep getting better? They'll only begin to hate or even envy me." He quietly rants, turning to the side to hide his embarrassed expression. You simply hum before placing the lollipop in your mouth.

"Well, your shitty attitude probably doesn't help either." You say without thinking. Wow, thanks! Aomine sarcastically thinks as a tick mark forms on his head.

"Think of it this way. If you continue to go to practice, you won't only grow stronger, but you'll also motivate your teammates to grow stronger. Isolating yourself from them won't make it any better for either sides." You tell him, swinging the lollipop around while you stare at it. You feel Aomine turn his head to you.

"So, get up. Because you're going right now." You say, placing the lollipop in you mouth before standing up by pushing off your hands. You turn down to the blue head and extend a hand out to him.

He stares at it, hesitating to take it until you're standing there in that position for a solid 30 seconds.

"Oh, for crying out loud, Daiki!" You sigh out of frustration before snatching his hand and pulling him up, making him stumble up to his feet.

"I'm not going." He yawns into his hand before bending down to pick up the magazine. You feel the veins in your forehead throb as you watch him get ready to sit down again.

"Yes the fuck you are!" You yell before wrapping an arm around his waist.

"Oi w- OI WHAT ARE YOU- PUT ME DOWN!" He yells as you hoist him up over your shoulder so he dangled down your back.

"No. I didn't come all the way up here just for you to say no you little shit." You turn your head back to tell him before you slide down the ladder and make your way to the door leading to the stairs.

"OI! THAT WAS DANGEROUS!" He screams, referring to the ladder as he wiggles around in your iron grip.

"Oh? Are you worried about me?" You ask, raising a hand up so your fingertips covers your mouth.

"NO! I'M LITERALLY OVER YOU'RE SHOULDER YOU WALKING SHIT STAIN!" He yells at you while you sigh and roll your eyes.

"Get some new comebacks Dai-chan. Those are getting old." You yawn, completely unaffected, if anything you were amused. A tick mark forms on his head as he continues to wiggle around on your shoulder.

- ☹︎ -

"Knock Knock!" You call, sliding the door open to reveal the two of you. Aomine had stopped yelling like a little kid and had his chin rested in his hand while his elbow was on your back, his other hand still held the magazine.

"Aomine?" The team asks, gaping at your strength while you simply nod.

"Yeah, we're here now so YOU CAN PUT ME DOWN YOU OLD HAG!" Aomine yells in your ear, making you grit your teeth.

"Quit yelling in my ear would you?!" You shout at him before removing your arm and dropping it to the side, making Aomine roll off your shoulder and land on the wooden floor which a loud thud.

"OW! WHAT THE FUCK?!" He yells up at your smirking figure while gripping his rare end.

"Well, you wanted me to let you down didn't yo- OW! PISS OFF!" Your smirk turning into a frown when you feel him harshly karate chop your ankle. You simply kick him in the shin.

"If you don't want to come to practice then I can help with that! You won't be moving for a week!" You declare, rolling up your sleeves before you feel multiple arms wrap around you, pulling you away from Aomine.

Momoi slightly smiles at the sight of you shuffling forward despite being held back by Wakamatsu, Sakurai and another third-year while Aomine was being held back by three other players.

"The Teikō siblings have finally reunited." She sighs happily before making her way over to the two of you, deciding to break up your little fight.

AT THE AIDA RESIDENCE:

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Kagetora asks, leaning back on his chair as they all sat around the circular dining table. ( D/n ) sat opposite to him, leaning on his elbows while his hands were clasped, his mouth pressed up against them.

"It's gone on for this long, there's no doubt it'll happen again." ( D/n ) says, a black-haired male who held an ipad, on video call beside him nods in agreement.

"Are you ready to face it though? Are you ready to have this conversation with her?" The only female at the table asks, crossing her long tan legs. ( D/n ) nods, his lips pressed into a thin line.

"I am. We all need this." He says with a deep frown. His heart aches every time he thought about the situation and the photo in front of him. He saw it coming but it really did hurt.

"Thank you for helping me out with this." He says, sighing as he sits up straight, leaning back in his seat. He tilts his head back and rapidly blinks to prevent the tears in his eyes from spilling.

"No problem dude." A guy on video call on the ipad that the black-haired male was holding said. The guy on the screen has light blonde hair, dark brown eyes and sharp facial features.

"Of course ( D/n ), we're always here for you." The woman says, scooting towards him before rubbing circles on his back. He leans forward and covers his eyes with his large hands, hiding them from those around them.

I'm such an idiot. He thinks to himself, a tear rolling down his cheek. How could I have let this go on for so long?
