This is told in Kise's POV.

I, Kise Ryouta, have been inlove with Aomine Daiki since middle school...

Hard to believe isn't it? How can I? The most famous model in Japan right now, famous high school basketball player and the copycat of the Generation of Miracles, be in love with Aominecchi?

That is the answer I am trying to find out as well as I looked at the school building of Kaijou Academy sitting from a nearby bench in front of it.

I guess it all started during middle school. I was still playing soccer that time for Teiko. A sport I easily picked up after watching a few rounds during the school's team practices. A friend of mine encouraged me to try out. And so I did out of boredom. One sports hobby wouldn't hurt anyways. And besides, even as I was fond of my modeling career, I wanted to meet some people who just didn't fawn over me all the time. It was hard looking for friends who you could trust. Especially when you're a model who has been in the front cover of Japan's top magazines. Sure I had a few friends, but they weren't really close.

I got in the team. But to be honest, before joining the Soccer team, I was in various teams for the school. Volleyball, baseball, badminton, tennis and almost all the sports teams. I just get so bored quickly. I start to lose my interest once I'm used to all the winning. And for the fact that since I'm better than most of my team mates, they start to distance themselves towards me.

Like any other sports team, Soccer was the one I probably quickly grew tired of. After a year of being in the team and making more frenemies, I quit.

Well moving on to how it all started with me and Aominecchi.

I was walking around the school back and forth. Trying to pass time before I went home to my apartment. As I was walking, I listened to my iPod. A song by called "Glamorous Sky" by it's original composer and writer, Hyde. I sang my heart out. Feeling the song within me and I didn't care much for the other students who stared at me weirdly, I was suddenly hit by a round object on my head. I held my head as the pain stung for a few moments. I opened my eyes and saw the round object that hit it slowly bouncing along. It was a basketball.

"What the hell? What a way to ruin my moment!" I muttered.

I was looking around to see if where was the source of the basketball that hit me. Seeing nobody, I slowly walked towards the ball and picked it up. The ball had a bit of weight and was hard. I remembered playing this sport during my childhood years.

As I was bouncing the ball a few times, I felt someone behind me. The shadow crept along mine and he seemed to be taller than me as well. I turned around and saw the most hottest piece of Greek sculpture I have ever seen.

"Uhm. Hey! Sorry about that! Did the ball hit you? Midorima is still a bit rough in his three pointer shots. But it was my fault anyways. I stole his lucky item for the day just to tease him and-... Wait your Kise Ryouta right?"

I stared at his half naked body. Did the school even allow students to play have naked? This question seemed irrelevant right now because the only thing I'm looking at this tall, dark, and handsome blue-haired boy. I seemed to have stared at him for a moment because he waving his hand in front of me.

"Hey are you alright? Did the ball really hit you that hard?" he said.

I came back to my senses again. Shaking my head and squinting my eyes a few times.

"Uh uh... Yeah I'm alright. It's okay. It didn't hurt as much." I said.

The blue haired boy smiled at me. Oh hot damn. "Ah, thank god! I thought you lost your memory or something. By the way, I'm Aomine Daiki. Pleasure to meet you! And I bet your the infamous Kise Ryouta correct?" He held out his hand to me. I immediately held and shook it. I felt flustered and I was surprise I shook his hand with so much force and excitement. He must have sensed it because he chuckled a bit. DAMN. HIS SMILE AND LAUGH. I quickly let go of his hand and started my own introductions.

"Oh yes. I'm Kise Ryouta. Really infamous? Where have you been hearing that?" I chuckled nervously.

"Heh, well I get around. It's nice to finally meet you. Um, sorry but can I have the basketball back?" he asked.

I didn't realize I was still holding the ball on my other hand.

"Oh sorry, here you go." I quickly handed it over him. "Um so, basketball huh? Are you playing right now?"

"Yeah. Well it's actually more like a basketball practice. The school is having try outs this week. But we had an hour break so basically we're playing for fun right now. Hey! Do you wanna join? I heard you quit the soccer team, maybe you could join the basketball team!" he suggested enthusiastically. "If you're not busy at the moment, you can just come in to look. The real try outs starts tomorrow. Today, the coach and the manager are just looking at the boys."

The mere fact that he knew I just quit the soccer team was a surprise. I didn't know how Aomine found out about that but right now is the perfect time to see his basketball in action. And to look at his deliciously shaped body for a few more minutes.

"Okay! I'd like that!"

He beamed at me. "Cool! Well then let's-"

He was interrupted by someone approaching behind him. It was a green haired boy. He was also tall and had an impressive build. But unlike Aomine who was half naked, he wore a plain white shirt.

"Oi, Aomine. What's taking you so long picking up one ball?" he said. Looking a bit annoyed at Aomine.

"What the hell? It was you who made a fail three pointer! You should have been the one who picked it up!" Aomine told him. Looking at him straight in the eye.

This Midorima guy snatched the ball from Aomine's hands. "It was because you stole my lucky item. Without it, my luck turns out bad and," He looked at my direction and stared at me for a few seconds. "Who's this?" he asked Aomine.

"Oh, him? He's the one you hit with your three pointer. Fortunately, he wasn't hit that bad for him to have amnesia." he laughed and winked at me.

Oh dear. Why are you doing this?

"Oo-ohh, I'm Kise Ryouta. Nice to meet you!" I bowed slightly.

Aomine laughed again. "No need to be formal with Midorima, Kise. He may look scary but he is a real Tsundere."

Midorima slapped him in the head causing Aomine to falter a bit. "Baka." He faced me again and bowed. " I'm Midorima Shintarou. If you want to blame anyone, please put it on Aomine. He stole my lucky item causing me to have bad luck and lose my focus."

I chuckled a bit. Midorima seems to be a serious guy at first but I guess there is someone in the world who has to be right?

"It's quite alright. I wasn't hurt or anything." I said.

"Well, every thing's all settled now. I suggest we should go back to the gym. Satsuki will go balls if we don't get back." said the blue haired boy. He started heading towards the nearest gym from where we stood. Midorima and me followed.

Since Aomine's back was facing in front of me, I couldn't help looking at it longingly. I just wanna feel his chiseled abs and muscles. Suddenly Aomine turned around and faced me. I felt myself blushing and hoping that he didn't notice I was looking at his body the whole time. "Oh yeah Midorima, Kise is tagging along with us. He'll look at our practice today."

Midorima nodded and continued forward. His pace was faster as he bounced the ball.

We stared at him as he went on and we slowly followed

" Midorima's kinda like that when he's thinking about something."

"What's he thinking about?"

"I don't know really. He's really into practice so maybe he's focusing really hard right now."

" You guys are pretty devoted to basketball huh? It seems nice to have something you're passionate about."

Aomine grinned. "Yeah. Since I was a kid, I loved basketball. I think my whole life revolved around it. It's a sport that has been a part of my life. I couldn't bear to part with it. All of us in the team are really into basketball. That's why I think most of us get along. Hey, why don't you try out? See if you'll like basketball as well? I know it might not be your interest right now, but I hope after watching us play, you'll think about it."

There is no way I could say no to this. HELL YES I AM GOING TO TRY OUT. The mere fact Aomine is encouraging me to join is amazing. THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER. My excitement was swelling deep inside me but I tried not to show it to my face.

"Sure thing! I'll try it Aominecchi!" I beamed at him.

Aomine raised his eyebrows at me and seemed confused. "Aominecchi?"
