*Edited*

"You're too slow Wakamatsu." Letting out a breathless laugh, Mei effortlessly slid around her friend's body and flipped the basketball into the air, it fell through the hoop with a whoosh and bounced at their ankles.

The male's eyes glanced at the ball that was rolling at her feet, then scared the crap out of her by releasing a battle cry and charging at her.

"Don't you dare Wa-" The air was pushed out of her chest as his arms circled her chest and flung her over his shoulder. The squeals that were leaving her lips could have probably of been compared to that of a dying cat as he paraded her across the court.

"Be quiet blondie, your voice is echoing and it's hurting my head." His trainers squeaked as he ran across the court, spinning her body around. He knew she hated being picked up so like the ass he was, he took it one step further and twirled her around on his shoulders.

After fighting the wave of nausea that came everytime he tried to play spin around the court with her, she scowled up at her senior with narrowed eyes.

Pushing out her arms, she shoved him with all her might but wasn't surprised to see that he didn't move an inch, the guy was over 6ft tall and weighed twice what she did.

"Stop doing that to me, you know I get motion sickness."

Mei was a first year student at Tōō academy, which happened to have an amazing basketball team. She witnessed this firsthand when she stumbling into the gymnasium one rainy day and watched the team playing together.

A couple of the guys had invited her to join them and once realizing that she could actually play quite well, they had invited her back.

She liked basketball and wasn't half bad but after playing with Wakamatsu and the rest of the team for half a year almost everyday, she was getting pretty good. She enjoyed spending time with them all and watching them practice.

Hence why she was all sweaty on her lunch break, playing with an upperclassman instead of eating her food along with the rest of her class. Having a one on one game with Wakamatsu was way more fun.

Ever since she had left her middle school, friends were scarce for her. Everybody's interests were on boys and make up, instead of things that actually mattered so she found that she didn't have a lot in common with anybody anymore.

At least when she was here, she could leave everything on the sidelines and just have fun. Mei let out a small shriek as a huge cotton towel landed on her head and blinded her.

"You're drenched in sweat, all gross looking." She had a great time with Wakamatsu on the court but that was where it ended. Neither of them saw each other as anything other than a friend, that was why they got on so well. No unnecessary feelings ever got involved.

Sometimes though, she couldn't help but be a bit skeptical on playing these little games with him, surely he couldn't afford to waste his time with a girl when he could be practicing with his way more skilled team mates.

He and the rest of their school's basketball team took the game extremely serious, it was a way of life for them.

"We've got a match on Saturday, will you come watch us?"

Mei pulled the towel down so her eyes were exposed, she stared blankly at her friends face. He was scowling at her as he spoke. "Or not, I just thought I'd ask as you're getting way better at playing so maybe if you watch us play a match, you might learn a thing or two. We could take you in the school bus."

'Yeah.' She thought to herself. 'That makes perfect sense.' Holding out her fist, she waited for him to bump it. The scowl on his face soon melted away, replaced with his carefree grin and he met her fist with his.

"Sure, I'd like that. I'll be the idiot in the crowd cheering the loudest."

"Who's the idiot?" A torrent of basketball players flooded the court with armfuls of food, their appetite was monstrous but with the amount of exercise they did, it was no wonder they had to consume so much food.

"Ah Mei." Imayoshi, the team's captain, walked up to the two of them and held out a bag.

"Good to see you again, are you kicking little Wakamatsu's ass again?" Laughing, she poked the blonde in his gut and hopped over to the captain's side to take the bag off him.

He always got them something since they were always playing when they left to get the food. Yet, he always refused the money they offered him for it. The guy was far too sweet for his own good.

All of the basketball team were. Hidden under those tough exteriors were a soft nougat center that she was lucky enough to see. Well, she said all of them, bar one.

There was one member that very rarely showed his face at practice or at any of their meetings. Someone who was supposedly the ace of this school's team. Daiki Aomine.

She was yet to meet this mystery man but she was on good terms with his own personal handler Momoi. She always spoke on Aomine's behalf on why he wasn't there and always defending him when the others spoke bad of him. Mei couldn't help but wonder if he really deserved such kind treatment, he took his team for granted.

He sounded like a self obsessed, egotistical brat.

"Thanks for the food master." Bowing deeply, Mei searched around the room for where Wakamatsu had disappeared to and finally spotted him. She made her way over to his hunched over form where he was stretching out his body.

Seeing it as her prime opportunity to get her own back on him, she slid the bag of food across the floor and launched her body onto his back.

Letting out a low groan, his body bent in half and he ate the floor. Mei couldn't help but burst out laughing at how he had crumpled like a piece of paper underneath her.

"Wow, you really suck, need to work on your core strength." She moved forward to ticked his abdominal muscles but a loud clearing of someone's throat caught her attention instead, standing outside the men's changing rooms was Wakamatsu with a strange expression on his face.

"Uh Mei, take a step away and don't stop until you're way over here."

Her face was that of horror as she looked at the body lying on the floor below her and felt her heart drop to the floor. Now that he wasn't bent over, she could see that this guy didn't have blonde hair and that his skin was far too dark to be Wakamatsu's.

"I'm so sorry about that, I thought you were-"

"Damn." The guy grumbled as he pushed himself off the floor. "You weigh a hell of a lot, maybe you should think about going on a diet."

'I take it back, I'm going to stamp him into the floor, so rude.'

Her foot flew out to mash into his exposed back but she was pulled backwards by a strong pair of arms. She let out a moan of displeasure as she was yanked away from her target.

The man got to his feet and turned around to face her. His blue eyes were dull and uninterested as he examined her appearance. They quickly glanced over her shoulder and a grin stretched his lips.

"Yo Wakamatsu, this your girl? Thought you had taste." Trying to lunge forward, she was yet again restrained.

"You little punk, I just want to talk to him Waka, let me go."

Aomine seemed amused by her display of anger and tried to get another rise out of her.

"You need to put a collar and lead on her, she's vicious."

"Shut up Aomine, she's not my girl." Wakamatsu barked over her shoulder. From all of that, that was all he had to say? So this was the famous player who had been a member of the generation of miracles, he didn't seem that impressive. He was just ticking all of the things that she had assumed he would be.

"Why are you letting a random girl into the gym when we're training and letting her wear your jersey then if she isn't your girl?"

Aomine walked over to the two of them and pulled on the towel that was still hanging off Mei's shoulders. "Run along little girl."

She could feel herself growling at him, she was fitting into his stereotype that she was a dog and she didn't like it.

"Aomine, back off. She's a friend of the team and she's generally here more than you are. Her name's Mei." Imayoshi turned his head towards her and nodded his head at the bluenette.

"This is Aomine. Our star player."

Imayoshi was forever the peacekeeper between any of the teammates when they had a disagreement.

He was very good at defusing any situation, this was an essential skill when you had someone like Wakamatsu on the team. Despite his good traits, Mei had come to realise that he was somewhat of a hot head at times and could act a bit unreasonable.

Now she had no reason to ever complain about the idiots moods because this Aomine guy was a hundred times worse. Granted, she shouldn't of jumped on him but it was an honest mistake and most importantly, she had apologized. What more did he want?

From her perspective, he just seemed to want to get a rise out of anybody and everybody. Now, Wakamatsu was the one who was falling for it.

Ripping off the jersey that she had been given by the tall blonde, leaving herself in a flimsy vest top, she relished the shocked look on the man's face as she jumped in front of Aomine so she could reach high enough to place it over his head and pull it down his body.

"You're wearing his jersey now, does that mean your his boyfriend? What a ridiculous logic."

Her brown eyes were narrowed at him as she waited for his response. The whole gymnasium was silent, also waiting. Aomine stared down at the jersey that was now over his own, looked back at Mei and then burst out laughing. "What the hell, who are you."

With a roll of her eyes, she spun on her feet to and went to leave. "Thanks for the game Wakamatsu, I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow poochie." Aomine's voice rang across the room, followed by his laughter. This guy was extremely annoying but she wouldn't give up her lunch time haven because he was there.

She very much doubted that the brat would be there tomorrow.


"Hey there poochie, did you come back just to see me?" It turned out that she was very wrong, as soon as her foot hit the inside of the gymnasium the following day, Aomine was waiting for her at the doors. Clearly he just loved to tease people.

'If I don't give a reaction, he'll leave me alone. Where's Momoi when you need her.'

"Did you want my jersey today? I got it all warmed up for you." As he spoke, he pulled off his top and held it out for her.

It was damp with sweat and had an extremely ripe smell to it. With a displeased scowl, she pulled out her pen that she used to keep her hair secure and pushed the fabric to the side so she could pass.

"Imayoshi, where's Wakamatsu?" The team captain looked apologetic as he spoke.

"Sorry Mei, he's got stuck in class. He hasn't been studying so he's getting an earful." Rolling her eyes, she walked to the side of the room and resigned herself to simply watching today. She didn't play as well with anybody else like she did with Wakamatsu.

'I'll just observe today, it's always nicer watching than sitting in that classroom listening to whose boyfriend bought them what.'

"Wanna play 1 on 1 with me pooch? I'll be gentle." Shaking her head, she didn't dignify Aomine with a response as she pulled out her lunch, ready to eat. Or so she thought.

Before she could even pop open her food box, she was whisked off the floor and placed over Aomine's shoulder. Her hands instinctively went to her skirt to hold it in place, the last thing she needed was a bunch of guys seeing her underwear.

She was pretty sure that the pair she was wearing today had a certain cartoon character on that people over the age of 5 shouldn't be watching.

"Maybe if you thought I was worthy of a response from your pretty little mouth I wouldn't have to do this." Aomine's hands grasped her hips to keep her in place.

"I won't let you down until I hear an apology."

Her legs were dangling over his muscular shoulder and her eyes were staring at his shoes as he kept her sprawled across his shoulder. What did he think she was, a toy?

She had bad a feeling that this guy was going to ruin any chance of tranquility she found from spending her time at the basketball gym.
