Slower and slower; the boys adrenaline pumped as he drove down the court. The peculiar peach hair flying to the side as sweat trickled down his neck. What could he be doing? He wasn't tall enough to dunk, although he could touch rim – barely. Passing the free throw line he lobbed the ball up making it in the basket, seconds after the buzzer could be heard along with screaming fans in the audience. Teammates crowded the star player and lifted him up, finally the boy's face could be seen, he had rather feminine features if one was to take a closer look than most. Eventually his teammates had been forced to put him down and they walked over to the half court where the other distraught team had been standing. Most of the players had been obscurely eying the young boy who scored the winning goal, some of them had a burning hate in their eyes. In gratitude for the game they had played both teams bowed, one savoring the taste of victory as the other seemed overwrought with grief of their sudden loss.
"Yo! Naoaki can you come here for a second?" Said a perky girl that was moments ago sitting on the bench, who could she of been talking to?
Well the question was answered soon enough as the peach-haired boy slowly jogged up towards her, the brunette forced him to sit down as she checked over his body. He didn't know what was going on! Is what he wished he could say, turns out she was checking his body for any stress. Naoaki's body was oddly fragile, unlike most men who had thick skin, along with callous bones. As the girl gave a few nods she sighed and looked him in the eye, she seemed worried for some odd reason! But after a moment that worried look turned into a toothy grin, "Oh come on don't do that to me! You made me think something was wrong Shizume!" The next moment both Naoaki and Shizume busted out in giggles. Although that had been cut short when someone poked Naoaki on the shoulder, it had been a player on the other team they had just played against.
Naoaki stood up, although he wasn't much taller when he stood up, "Uhm, is there anything I can do to help you sir?" The air seemed kind of awkward, but after a moment this lavender-haired giant put his hand on the top of Naoaki's head. "Hey what are you doin-?!"
"I knew it was you, no one else plays like that..." In the opposite hand he was holding a bag of chips, the realization had hit moments later that he knew this man. Enormous over there had been apart of a certain school, it actually turned out to be his old rival junior high school. This man had indeed been Murasakibara Atsushi, the center from the Generation of Miracles; a group of people who had been too good for their own good. Although right as Naoaki was about to respond to the man he had been pulled away and into a nearby hallway so they could talk privately it seemed.
"What were you thinking?! Atsu, that wasn't funny just randomly pulling me into a hallway? And why are you eating food right after you just played a game, that isn't good for you!" Sighing slowly the man placed his face in his own palm shaking his head left and right.
"Eh? You want to scold me when you are faking!" It didn't sound like he was angry, more like when a child was irritated and he tried to change the subject. "Why are you playing basketball in the inter-high when you are a girl?"
The only respond the giant man got was the gulping sound the surprised person made, "W-Why would you care about something like that? Y-You didn't have a problem when I did it in junior high!" The shaky voice of the supposed female seemed like she was now on the defensive, all that could be seen was her fumbling around with her words, trying to find the right excuse.
"You are a girl, you could get hurt. You aren't as strong as any of us! You should just stick to the side lines and eat sweet snacks and watch us play." Even though he had just gotten beat by this girl, Murasakibara wasn't enraged, he wasn't saddened either. The only reason for that was because this girl had the power that rivaled the generation of miracles, because he respected this person. Although this didn't stop him thinking that she should not of even been on the court, what if she had gotten hurt?! What if he had hurt her? He couldn't face the rest of the Teiko team if he had.
The so-called female bit her lip as she looked away from the gentle giant, she didn't know what made her feel worse: the fact she had to see Atsu, or the fact that she was being told to give up the game she loved. Looking up to the boy she felt like she wanted to slap him – even though she couldn't reach. "W-Well... I b-beat you so I think I am in the-the right place! So don't tell me what to do Baka-Atsu!" Retorted the female as the anger began to well up inside her, she just wanted to scream at the innocent humongousaur! Turning around with the furious attitude of someone who had just been technical'd she began to walk away.
But then she had been enveloped by two large arms from behind, "I just don't want you to get hurt." Those words had been engraved in her mind as her jaw dropped from normal, to the ground. But within seconds she had been able to regain what little of her was not entirely torn from wanting to stay in his arms, or wanting to rip away from them. After a moment the blushing giant turned Naoaki and looked her in the eye, "But listen. I am not the one you should be worried about. Watch out for Aomine-chin, he was pissed after you skipped out on the game and never showed your face to us again." After a moment he sighed and looked the girl back in the eye, smiling he leaned down and blew in her ear as he talked, "I am warning you because, I am the only one you will be able to share your snacks with. Got it?"
Gulping as her face matched the hair color of a certain uptight emperor she knew, she stood there wide-eyed as the giant let her go and began to walk away down the hall, seriously where could he of been going?! After something like that he should of at least stayed and talked more about what she had missed while her disappearance was apparent, but no she guessed everyone would just forget that it ever happened, right? Well, how wrong she had been to think like that.
