"So, your Lit partner is that Rorange girl?"

Ryouta turned to his current girlfriend, Maya, and nodded.

"Ne, Kise-kun, you better don't do something with her! I'm your girlfriend, remember?"

"Hai, hai."

He smiles at her and kiss her lips, but he really is thinking that she should be more worried about if L'orange did something to him. And it wouldn't be because she wanted to get him in any romantic sense. Ryouta deadpanned as he thought that L'orange would be more probable to push him out of a cliff.

"I'm going now. I entered the first string today, better don't get late to it, right?"

"Mou! Kise-kuuun!" She pouts at him with her pink lips. She doesn't wear make-up at all, it was one of the things that called his attention to her. "You just got out of your last club, didn't you? Why did you want to enter basketball so soon after we started going out?"

He blinks at her. They weren't together for much time, were they? No, she asked him out the day after he quit…football? Yeah, the day after he quit his previous club and they started going out from there and then he entered the basketball club. It didn't take too long for him to learn the drill and soon he was rising ranks until he entered the first string. It was quite the accomplishment to others, but to him it was only natural.

He smirks at her as determination fires him up.

"It seems an interesting game and I need to get stronger because…" He looks up to the clear sky with yellow fire in his eyes. "There is someone in there that I really want to play with."

"Why are you looking at the sky and not at me when we're talking, Kise-kun?"

"Eh?! No-nothing! No reason! I'm going now!"

A/N: Yes, muchachos. That thumbnail up there with the super badass orange eyed girl is Amaya. After much time doing Photoscape, I finally accomplished what I imagined her to be like. Feeling proud of myself now.
