Dangerous Love
Day Seven: Laughter
Kasamatsu woke up from a nap, not realizing that he had fallen asleep. He peered around the room sleepily and was quick to notice that Aomine was still not back yet. He glanced at the clock next to the bed and frowned. The teenager looked at the draped window as he chewed on his bottom lip. 'It's been nearly three hours, how is Aomine not back yet?'
The raven haired male's nerves made him pace around the room. He wrapped his arms around himself in comfort and approached the window. Kasamatsu reached forward but hesitated. His hand lingered on the heavy curtains which blocked out any light from the setting sun. The steel-blue eyed teen turned away, thinking that it would be a bad idea since he could possibly reveal himself.
Kasamatsu settled for sitting back down on his bed. He glanced at the television and sighed softly. Kasamatsu figured he would not be able to relax in the slightest, at least not until Aomine returned. The high school student cursed his troubled mind.
After pacing around the room for another ten minutes, Aomine finally showed up. He came in with a box in his arms but Kasamatsu ignored that as he approached Aomine. He glared up at him. "Where were you? What happened?" The young man demanded, his fingers curled into tight fists.
Aomine kicked the door shut and set the large box down on the table. He turned and stared down at Kasamatsu, a smirk making its way onto his face. "What's this? Were you possibly worried about me, Yukio?"
"I-" Kasamatsu sputtered out, "I wasn't worried." He denied in a huff.
The assassin chuckled then proceeded to ruffle the smaller males dark raven hair. "Whatever you say, brat." Just as Kasamatsu was about to object to being called a brat, Aomine spoke up again.
"I was just getting all the supplies I needed, okay?" The assassin pointed to the big box he had set down moments ago. "Now I just need to go through all the trouble of putting it all together." He sighed.
"Putting what together?" Asked Kasamatsu.
Aomine began to pull out cords and various wires, as well as small devices. "All these cameras." He stated. "Since I plan on hiding out here for a while, I figured I may as well beef up the security in this place."
"Oh." Kasamatsu nodded. He remembered Aomine saying something about that earlier. He shook his head and watched as Aomine lay everything out neatly. Kasamatsu stared at a small, circular thing that was the size of a tac. "Are these tiny camera's?" He asked.
Aomine nodded, his royal blue orbs landing on the teen. "I'm going to set these up around the perimeter and then hook 'em up to this laptop. I will have eyes on everything." With his final words, the dark skinned man grinned and got to work.
"So should I question how you managed to get all of this, or does it just have something to do with all your connections?" Kasamatsu asked with crossed arms.
"The latter." Aomine responded. He smirked down at the younger male. "When you grow up with my kind of life, you learrn to make a whole bunch of friends."
"Those are quite the words of wisdom you got there…" Kasamatsu said dryly, heavy on the sarcasm. Aomine simply flashed the high school student another grin. Kasamatsu rolled his eyes in response.
The young man began to piece together all of the equipment while Kasamatsu decided to sit and watch television. The raven head surfed through the different channels and eventually came across an odd re-run of an NBA game. He took an immediate interest.
Halfway through the game, Kasamatsu noticed that Aomine had stopped messing around with all the camera's and cords, his focus now on the match. The steel-blue eyed teen raised his eyebrow as he stared at Aomine. He cleared his throat, catching the taller man's attention. "You like basketball?"
"I was pretty great at it in middle school, for your information." Aomine responded haughtily. He wore a confident smirk on his face as he spoke.
Kasamatsu gave him a look. "You sound as if you've never lost or something."
"Well, the only one who can beat me is me." Aomine shrugged nonchalantly.
Kasamatsu snorted. "Wow." He commented. "I wonder how you're still alive if that's how you are all the time."
"As I've already said - the only one who can beat me is-"
"Is you. Got it." Kasamatsu waved the older man off. "Anyone tell you you're pretty childish?"
"No one would even dare." Aomine replied with a smirk on his face. The blue haired man turned his attention back to his task at hand. He pulled a laptop out from his bag as well as a small USB drive.
As Kasamatsu watched Aomine plug in his USB, he momentarily thought back to the USB he found in his bag. The one his father must have packed in with his other stuff. The teenager was rather curious as to what was on it but did not want to investigate mainly because it could be private.
Kasamatsu shook his head and turned back to the T.V. He watched the rest of the game, all while he thought back to what Aomine said about him being 'pretty great' at basketball.
It made him curious, having been the captain back at his high school. Kasamatsu cringed suddenly. 'I never got to tell anyone that I was leaving… But then again I didn't really have the chance to. Not to mention, even if I did, I don't think I would be allowed to.'
The young man sighed softly, cupping his cheeks. He felt bad for not telling any of his team mates or friends. The raven head knew they must be worried since his disapperance. 'I'm a terrible person.' Kasamatsu thought, staring down at his feet.
Kasamatsu glanced over to Aomine and watched as the older man tested the camera's just to be sure they all functioned normally before he went out to set them up. Kasamatsu turned the television off. He got up and walked to where Aomine was at the table. "We should play sometime." Kasamatsu said as he leaned against the wall.
"Play what?" Aomine asked once he placed his laptop down on the table. "Are you telling me you want to get your butt whipped by me at basketball?"
Kasamatsu rolled his eyes, pushing himself off the wall. "Yes. That is exactly what I want." He answered flatly.
Aomine smiled. He turned around, saying, "Maybe when this is all over…"
"I see." Kasamatsu replied.
Aomine turned back to the teenager and patted his head. "So I'm afraid you'll have to wait on being destroyed by me." He grinned in a predatory manner.
Kasamatsu smacked the taller man's hand away before he gave his response. "Just don't get all rusty on me while I get better." The raven head said with a casual shrug.
"Brat." Aomine sneered.
Kasamatsu gave him a mockingly-sweet smile before flipping him off. Aomine snorted and shook his head. "You're dad said you were a nice kid but now I'm beginning to think he only said that to make this job seem less taxing."
"Think whatever you want about me. It doesn't change the fact that I still think you're an egotistical idiot." Kasamatsu told Aomine as he sat back down on the bed. The raven haired teen pulled his knees up to his chest as he watched Aomine gather up all the tiny camera's in his big hands.
Aomine shot a look at Kasamatsu over his shoulder. "Is that what you think of me?" He asked.
"Yup." Kasamatsu stated without hesitation.
The assassin hummed as he walked to the door. "I'm going to go set these up around the perimeter. You can sit here and make sure that they are all functioning normally once there up." The tanned male nodded to his laptop which held multiple black screens.
Kasamatsu followed his gaze and stared at the screen. "All right." He agreed.
"If there are any problems, just text me. My number is already on the cell I gave you." Aomine was half out the door when he paused, turning back to Kasamatsu. "And when I get back, I'll be sure to punish you for calling me an egotistical idiot."
"Hmph." Kasamatsu huffed, turning away from the dark blue haired man. He gave his attention to the laptop, not wanting to miss anything.
Eventually, one by one, the camera's came online. Aomine had about ten set up all around the outside of the motel. The angles seemed to cover every inch, leaving no blank spaces. The assassin still had a few more to set up, as well.
The steel-blue eyed teen watched Aomine finish up on the outside before he ventured into the lobby. The tanned male set up the camera's before he came back to their room. Kasamatsu stood when Aomine entered. "Is everything all good?" Aomine asked.
Kasamatsu nodded. "Yeah." He confirmed. The teen watched as Aomine peered at the screen, eyes gliding over each section. He double checked all the camera's before he was finally satisfied.
"Done?" Kasamatsu asked. He was beginning to feel hungry.
Aomine turned to the shorter male, his eyebrow raised. "Were you waiting to be punished by me?"
"Wha- No!" Kasamatsu spewed. "Maybe I should change my opinion of you from egotistical idiot to egotistical pervert."
"I'm the pervert?" Aomine chuckled. "I don't recall saying that I'd punish you in that sense." He grinned.
Kasamatsu scoffed, his arms crossed. "No… But your voice sure insinuated it." The raven head huffed.
"Well either way, I can't let you get away with saying such horrible things about me - so…" The blue eyed man's playful grin turned predatory once more. Kasamatsu faltered and took a step backwards but Aomine advanced on him.
The shorted male's legs hit the end of the bed and caused him to flail as he fell backwards. Aomine chuckled at the brief flash of distress that crossed Kasamatsu's face. "Don't worry," He whispered, "It won't hurt."
Aomine crawled on top of the younger man. He took slight satisfaction in the way the raven head squeezed his eyes shut. 'He looks like he's about to be devoured.' Aomine mused, his eyes alight.
The assassin poked Kasamatsu's side, watching as the teen jolted underneath him. He grinned and wiggled his fingers on Kasamatsu's stomach and sides. Aomine tickled the younger male, enticing laughter from him. Aomine himself snorted in amusement as he watched Kasamatsu struggle underneath his weight. "How is that for punishment?"
Kasamatsu shook his head, too busy shaking with laughter to give a proper reply.
"Should I stop?" Aomine asked airily.
The teen nodded hastily, managing to utter out, "Y- Yes! St- stop it or I'll pu- punch you in the fa- ahaha!" Kasamatsu doubled over in his fit of laughter as Aomine continued to tickle him.
"Sorry, I didn't catch that last par- OW!" Aomine pulled back swiftly, reaching up with rub at his cheek. "You really did punch me…" He blinked, somewhat shocked. Aomine pulled his hand from his stinging cheek and stared at it.
Kasamatsu, who was still recovering from being tickled, shrugged. "I told you." He said.
Lesson learned; don't tickle Kasamatsu, especially when he warns you of your impending doom. :P
