Draft day part one
Nakatani POV
I look skeptically at the calm water as the five of us stand on top of a water floaty. A big water floaty. I can't believe I'm doing this.
"Alright let us start the 'Last Man Standing Competition to Decide the Draft Order' Ordeal! Take no mercy!" Alex cheers as she blows her whistle signaling the beginning of my doom.
"You are no match for me-" Katchan(Harasawa) begins as he runs his hand through his hair before Masa(Araki) kicks him in the face, forcing him off the floaty and into the water with a dramatic splash.
We all gulp as Masa gets that cold gleam in her eyes as she looks upon all of us. Shit, what am I even doing here?
"Come here Ma-boy. It's you and me," Tora(Aida) taunts me as he gets in ready position. I quickly side step the idiot as he lunges at me. I watch amused as he dives off the floaty.
I quickly duck as Alex flies overhead from Masa throwing her my way. Shit, I might as well just jump off this floaty before I break my back or something. I flinch slightly as I watch Masa face plant and then slide into the water. What the hell?
I guess I won?
Later I was told that Katchan took revenge and dragged her in. There wasn't a rule about that.
~Day before camp~
Draft day part two
I feel smug as I look at the clean slate of 30 players at my disposal. Who do I want as my first choice? So many choices.
"I want Murasakibara," I declare. Having a good defense is good too and having taken Masa's student feels pretty good.
"I want Kuroko," Masa states as she crosses off his name.
"Yes! I want Kagami! He's mine!" Alex cheers as she puts a squiggly line through his name with a heart next to it. She's so weird.
"I want Midorima," Tora decides looking the list over once more. Good choice, my friend.
"I will of course take Aomine, my little prodigy," Katchan proclaims with a smirk.
Here's where the real battle begins. I can choose either Akashi or Kise as a second generation of miracle but do I really want to deal with them? "I think I'll go with Himuro."
"No you fucking didn't! How could you take my baby?" Alex cries as she watches me cross out his name. I'm sorry?
"Ogiwara." That's an interesting choice. I guess if you have Kuroko, one would then choose his childhood friend.
"Why aren't you taking the captain of the Generation of Miracles? I'll take the other little red head," Alex chooses with a smile on her lips as she puts a heart next to his name.
Lord, please keep an eye on this sweet little girl.
"Yes! Sorry, but I'll choose Takao as my second choice," Tora says with a grin on his lips.
Aw shit. He's got a pretty good pair there, but good luck dealing with their antics. It'll be maddening after a little while. A ver short while.
"Kise is mine! The Aomine and Kise pair will be unstoppable!" Katchan declares as he combs back his hair. I don't know about that... Their personalities clash pretty bad.
By the end of all the rounds, I was pretty satisfied with how my team stacked up. (Same as it is now.)
Tora was not satisfied at all. "Hey Alexandra, you've got way too many Seirin kids on your team. It won't be interesting at all since they all play together. I'll trade you Mitobe for Teppei. A center for a center," Tora offers with a smile. Aren't they both Seirin members?
"Sure! You're so right. Having too many of the same will be bad and uninteresting," she agrees as she shakes his devil hand. "Let's see what team this Mitobe is on... What the hell? He is also on Seirin!"
"Shhhh. It's alright Alex. I'll give you Hara for Koganei. I've only got one Seirin," Katchan offers kindly. It's actually a pretty good trade for her.
"Thanks a lot. I would appreciate that," Alex says as she shakes his hand.
Those three tried, but Masa and I would not budge on our teams. We were stacked and we weren't gonna change that. These teams actually ended up pretty even.
~Now~
Kise POV
"Wow, this dorm is beautiful!" I gape as I walk down the hall to take in the great expanse of glass overlooking the mountains. I want to stay here forever!
"I know you're used to beautiful things, but stating the obvious doesn't make it anymore beautiful," Fukui states as he dumps his bag against the wall.
"Hey, d-don't be so mean. He's just excited. So am I," Koganei stutters as he grips his bags tightly. He squeals when Fukui gives him a pointed glare.
I pout at Fukui, but I try to ignore it. He didn't need to say that. He could have just kept it to himself. "What activity are we doing, coach?"
"First, let's get the room situation down so we don't have bags lying around everywhere. That's not very beautiful," coach answers with a smile and sparkles dancing around him.
"Wake me up when this is all done," Aomine yawns out as he collapses into one of the bean bag chairs.
"Aomine, you have to pick a room number..." Coach trails off as he looks at Aomine helplessly. Aw, Aominecchi is so adorable. He's like a little kitten who sleeps all the time.
We all take a number and go to our rooms to drop our stuff off. I gladly notice that Fukui and Koganei are roomed together and Izuki and Miyaji are together leaving me with Aominecchi. I hum a little tune as I go back to the hall and grab Aomine's things and put them on the other bed.
Walking back to the living room, I couldn't help but take a running start and jump on Aomine. "Aominecchi, we're rooming together! This will be great! We'll be the bestest of friends!" I squeal as I hug the struggling ace.
"Kise, what the fuck? Get the fuck off of me!" Aomine growls as he pushes my face away.
Rolling away, I cry, "you're so mean to me, Aominecchi!" Laying a couple feet away, I pout at the upside down Aominecchi. He needs to loosen up once in a while. I guess that's where basketball comes in place.
"Okay okay, let's calm down. We're going to do a couple get to know you exercises-" coach starts.
"Wait, let's play a game of dare or double dare!" I suggest with a huge grin as I flop back up to face everyone right side up. I glow a little as Izuki and Koganei nod in agreement. I need one more for majority vote...
I slowly turn my head to the ace basketball player with the biggest puppy dog eyes I could muster. Don't fail me now, Aominecchi!
The second he clicks his tongue and looks away, I knew I had him. "Fine, but I'm giving you two dares to begin with so prepare yourself," Aomine sighs while giving a predatory smirk.
"What is he preparing for, your dick?" Fukui adds in dryly earning a laugh from the four other basketball players.
A dark blush consumes my face as I hesitantly side glance Aomine. Fukui is so dirty! I look at Aomine hoping he'll dispel this awkward atmosphere. I fidget as Aomine stares down Fukui with his head tilted and scowl pulled back.
"A-Aominecchi, why don't you go on ahead and start with your dares, alright?" I encourage as I drag the dark skinned teen to the underground circle couch. Sitting next to him, I smile warmly.
Aomine gives me his lazy stare as he complies by sitting next to me. He puts his arms on the backrest and leans back with a yawn. Aominecchi is so adorable!
I try not to mind the presence of his arm resting behind my shoulders. I smile brightly at Miyaji as he sits next to me. I didn't expect him to shove my face away.
"Fucking shine that somewhere else," the Shutoku player growls as he glares at me with a think layer of disgust. So mean!
"Aominecchi, everyone is being mean to me!" I cry into his shoulder as tears roll down my cheeks. He wraps his arm around me and brings me close, my head tilted up by his hand. I hiccup with eyes wide.
"I dare you to stop talking to me," Aomine whispers lightly, but loud enough for everyone to hear. He quickly shoves me off. I pout and curl up my knees.
Why can't anyone want to be my friend as badly as I want to be theirs?
"Secondly, I dare you to take all of my dares."
Is that even legal? Can he even do that?
"Holy shit, did Aomine just beat the system?" Miyaji swears with mouth wide open. They all reel their minds, but just shrug it off with no smart refute to his logic.
Wait, do I really have to do all of his dares? I pout as I watch the ace lean back and close his eyes. I couldn't even protest to Aomine's dare. This isn't fair!
Turning to the rest, I grit my teeth trying to size up my competition. Alright, who shall my pray be? I zero on in Koganei's slight fidget as he grips his sweats. My eyes shine as the bat wings flap devilishly behind me.
"Koganei... I dare you to..." I lean over the table to whisper in his ear the rest of the dare. I smile innocently as his blood drains. "You can do it whenever you want tonight. It has to before breakfast though."
I get a couple glances, but I shake it off. Nothing can beat anticipation.
"Um... I-I dare Izuki to text Hyuuga and confess your passionate love for him, he he," Koga giggles as he watches his teammate puff up ready to kill him.
"No way! Teppei will kill me if he finds out that I tried to steal his man!" Izuki whines as a shiver runs down his spine.
"They're not actually going out, Izuki. If he does by some chance go after you, I'll explain everything, okay?" Koga reassures with a small smile. He pats Izuki's shoulder while he takes out his phone. "Read out everything you type and try to make it as passionate as possible."
Gulping, Izuki types with shaky fingers, "Hyuuga, no, Junpei. I couldn't wait any longer to tell you this. I love you. My heart can't contain it anymore. I wanted you to know before I did something stupid. I couldn't even think of confessing to you in person. It would break my heart to have you tell me how you love Teppei. The way you guys look at each other is just so beautiful. I'm happy for you two. I just wanted to be honest with you. I don't expect anything from you. Goodnight, my love," Izuki reads out loud. By the end, Izuki is stifling laughs along with Koga.
Maybe it's a Seirin inside joke? Does Hyuuga really have a thing with the Iron Heart and vice versa? Wow, I've never been around gays before. They don't act much different, do they? I thought they were supposed to be flamboyant? Wow Kise, way to judge others. I just have to accept Hyuuga and Teppei as who they are and not who they're labeled as.
Feeling at peace with myself, I look at Izuki expectantly when his phone vibrates. My smile drops as he becomes pale and eventually faints. On my god, did Hyuuga confess back?
"Oh shit, he texted Teppei instead. We're so fucking screwed!" Koga squeaks as he too faints. I pray for their safety.
"Alright, let's go to bed. I think we've had way too much excitement tonight alone. I don't even want to think what the rest of this month brings," coach sighs as he brushes back his dark locks. "Miyaji, Fukui, bring those two to your respective rooms and go to bed. Kise, wake up Aomine."
We watch Coach sigh once again as he walks out of our dorm. He doesn't room with us? I guess that would be pretty weird.
I look conflicted as the two Seirin members are dragged roughly to their rooms. Be careful... Looking down at the slumbering beast, I couldn't take it in my hands to wake him up. After a few moments, I walk back to our room to grab both of our blankets and pillows. I smile warmly as I lay him fully on the couch and wrap him snuggly in his blanket.
"Good night, Aomine," I whisper as I pet his short locks. I walk around the table to set up on the other side of the couch. I put my pillow down so mine barely touches his. Laying down, I stare at the top of his head where the moonlight glistened down upon him. I fall asleep with a smile on my lips.
Aomine opens his eyes seconds later to look down upon the angelic blonde.
"Night, Kise."
~Later that Night~
Izuki POV
I wrinkle my face as I slowly open my eyes. My heart jumps a mile high as I stare wide eyed at the center above me. What is Teppei doing here?!
"Hello Izuki. You never answered my text message," the giant whispers with a smile and a tilt of his head. He presses my wrists harder into the mattress as he stares me down.
"I-it was a dare. I d-don't actually like Hyuuga like that. I'm straight, I swear! Please don't kill me. Please, I'm still so young. I've got my whole life ahead of me. I swear I don't have feeling for him. He's all yours," I cry with sobs wracking my body. Tears rush out of my gray eyes.
I don't want to die! Please save me! Anyone?
I relax as Teppei's kind smile returns. "It's okay Izuki. I don't think you like him... I'm just not too sure he likes me. You didn't send that text message to him, did you?"
He flops next to me and puts his arm over his eyes. Is he alright?
"No, I fainted after I realized I texted you. I was scared shitless, ha," I laugh trying to lighten the atmosphere. I didn't actually think he liked Hyuuga that way. It must be really complicated. Hyuuga's kind of a Tsundere.
"Good... I'm not sure how Hyuuga would respond to that texts. Sometimes I get really jealous of how much he respects you. He smiles at you, but he never smiles at me..." The Iron Heart trails off, his throat constricting tightly.
He's got it all wrong. Hyuuga really respects Teppei. He just needs to be broken in a little. Just push a little, Teppei.
"Just keep on trying, Teppei. If you ever need anything, just ask," I offer as I hold his hand.
I smile as he brings his arm away from his eyes. A single tear runs down his cheek.
Takao POV
I grumble as I feel a light touch on my shoulder. I try to swat away the unknown subject, but it just shook my shoulder harder. Succumbing to my fate, I open my crust shut eyes to look up at Midorima.
"What time is it?" I growl as I grab my phone from underneath my pillow to check the time. It's two in the morning!
"I need you to drive me to go get my lucky item. We need to leave now to be able to get back in time for breakfast," Midorima states as he starts to dress into his sweats and a Shutoku T-Shirt.
"Are you fucking joking? I'm not going to drive you there!" I yell as loud as my whisper could let me before putting my covers over my head.
I didn't expect my covers to be pulled off with such force. "Did it sound like a question to you? I'm telling you that you're driving me. Now," Midorima states coldly as he adjusts his glasses.
Shrugging off his forceful declaration, I slowly get up as I stretch like a cat. After cracking every bone in my body, which definitely got on his nerves, I get dressed in similar clothes as Midorima.
"So Shin-chan, what's your lucky item today?" I yawn as I face my teammate. Being tired and all, it took me awhile to notice his pause. "It's not a condom, is it?"
"No... It's pink underwear... women's underwear to be exact."
I jump on my bed only to snuffle out my laugh attack. Oh my god, this is priceless! Stop, this has to be the best day of my life! Suddenly, I didn't feel the the dread of driving Shin-chan for hours. No, now I'm definitely excited.
"Takao, just don't even say anything. Please just be quiet,". Midorima requests as he adjusts his glasses to hide his obvious blush.
After minutes of straight laughing, I contain myself to mere fits of soft giggles. I follow the giant as stealthily as a laughing person could. Once we got outside, which I'm surprised there wasn't any security, I ask the question that is nagging my thirsty soul.
"Where are you getting these panties so late at night?"
"... I've got a lucky item supplier."
"Ha!" I let out a whole hearted laugh at his response. Of course Shin-chan would find a way to get a supplier for this weird hobby. He never fails to surprise me.
Shin-chan is one of a kind.
