Chapter 14: The Sparks Are Flying

"Check it out, we're in Tokyo!" Moto threw her arms in the air as she ran around outside of a small Pizza restaurant. It was a fine weather yet again and people were out and eating inside and outside of the restaurant. Yes, Kise and friends were planning on pizza for lunch. And seemed like the girls and Kise were there first.

While Moto had run off toward the other end of the area of the restaurant, Fukui and Sakai picked out a square table together, which was in the center of the other tables. "I wonder wah I should get Yamauchi-tan as a souvenir," Fukui chuckled to herself, seated first. She placed her orange bag on the ground, making sure it was right next to her feet.

The table consisted fours chairs and Sakai was looking around. "Hmm, maybe we should combine two tables together," Sakai said with her hands on her hips. Being one step ahead of her, Kise had already pulled table up close. Then Sakai quickly moved the chairs in the center. As the two tables connected, Koizumi sat by Fukui. And Koizumi's seat was in between of the two tables.

"You're going to get Yamauchi a souvenir?" Koizumi questioned Fukui. "Why?"

Fukui smirked and waved her hand, "Cause Yamauchi-tan wanted ta come with us, but she was worried for Tomimura-tan and stuff… tis is why I promised I'll get her somethin', see?"

After rearranging the chairs, Kise sat by the corner, which was Fukui's right, and Sakai went to sit next to his right side. Moto returned back to them and sat next to Koizumi. "I can't wait to get this started," Kise could not stop grinning happily.

"What should we do when everyone is here?" Moto beamed with a cheerful face.

Sakai clapped her hands after a quick thought. "We can play a little game!" she suggested rather excitedly.

Moto snickered, "And the price is to have Kise-san!"

"We're not gonna over tis again, are we?" Fukui leaned forward to smile at Moto.

"No, of course not," Moto laughed lightly while Sakai pointed. Still smiling, Moto watched Sakai talking to Kise about what kind of pizza they liked to eat. Her eyes wandered to the left and soon Moto caught sight of a tall green haired guy. He appeared to be walking towards them and his eyes were on them.

Pushing up his glasses, Midorima suddenly felt uneasily. 'Here goes nothing,' he thought to himself.

"Hello!" Moto called out loudly, waving her hand. At the table, everyone was startled by her shout. Midorima remained calm and walked up to their table. "Wow, you look so dead serious!" Moto giggled at him.

"Hey, Midorima-cchi!" Kise smiled. Midorima seemed quiet and kept standing up near Moto's seat. "Go on, sit."

Moto then grabbed Midorima's arm and forced him to sit down the seat closer to her. But then she hit her elbow on the corner of the table, letting him go, and winced quietly as her put her head on the table. Midorima was still standing and did not seemed bothered by her.

Koizumi patted on Moto's back, "…You okay?"

"…I just… hit a nerve," Moto mumbled, trying not to laugh her pain off. Her pinky was hurting due to the nerve shock.

Fukui chuckled and smiled to Midorima, "Hello!"

Not making any eye contact, Midorima just nodded. And then he took his seat. He looked across the two tables in front of him and straight to Kise who was on the other end with Sakai close to him. "Kise, who is the girl who decided to do this idea with you?" he inquired out of curiosity.

Kise smiled, "Oh, Tomimura's sick and wasn't able to make it."

"And I'm her replacement," Sakai smiled, pointing to herself. "Sakai Rin!"

Midorima closed his eyes, "Huh."

"Oiiii, Kise-chin…" a voice started to call.

Everyone all looked. Moto, Koizumi, and Fukui had to turn their heads to their backs while Kise, Sakai, and Midorima simply glanced over their shoulders. A very tall purple haired guy was waving with a yellow lollipop in his hand; around his arm was a bag of other snacks and sweets. Beside him was a black haired guy, who had a mole under his left eye.

Just when Kise was going to greet them happily, Moto squealed. "Oh my gosh!" she stood up quickly. While the others watched her run off, she directly went to Himuro and they both stopped in front of each other. "You're so handsome!" Moto giggled, jumping in for a hug.

"Eh?" Murasakibara looked at them, walking slower. Himuro smiled, feeling a bit awkward at Moto's direct approach and she was still hugging him. Kise slapped his own face, knowing something like this was going to happen. And while Moto hugged Himuro longer, Murasakibara grabbed the back of her shirt and tugged her off, but then she wouldn't easily let go. "Hey, let Muro-chin go, little girl."

Fukui was laughing at them in the background while Koizumi was staring at Himuro for a good few seconds and looked away. "Moto-tan," Fukui started to call for her. "Please respect the bubbles of de others."

When Moto let go on her will, Murasakibara was still holding onto her shirt. He then realized she was a bit tall than the other girls he met before. She grinned and twirled in place until Murasakibara let her go. She fixed her shirt and bowed, "Hello!" She then stood up straight and chuckled at the two of them. "Do excuse my level of excitement." Then she looked at Himuro, "I hope I didn't offend you in any way."

Himuro smiled courteously, "No, of course not."

"Aw, handsome and polite," Moto smiled rather heavenly, crossing her arms behind her and tilting her head. "I like you already."

'Forget him, he already have a lot of girls on his tail already!' Kise wanted to shout, but held it in and only sighed heavily. Maybe he should have asked more friends of Tomimura to come, just so his friends can get a chance with a girl.

During which Moto went back to sit by Koizumi and close to Midorima, Murasakibara and Himuro went around to Kise's side, going around the corner of the table and sat close to Sakai's right. "Oh," Sakai looked at Murasakibara close to her. "We have ten people, right? We need one more chair for the last person then."

"You're right," Kise completely forgotten. While Sakai volunteered herself to get up to get an extra chair, Kise looked around. "I hope Aomine-cchi is not going to be late for a mixer."

Koizumi questioned, "Why are you carrying an orange?"

Her question was, of course, directed to no one other than Midorima himself. And everyone turned to him. "It's my lucky charm," Midorima replied to Koizumi, glancing to her.

Moto was the first to laugh, "Aw, that's so cute!"

"Yeah, I hadn't had a lucky charm since eight," Sakai beamed, remembering the good old days. She took an extra chair to place it by Himuro's right, which was close to Midorima's left.

"Ya weirdo," Fukui hid her smile behind her fingers. Midorima had no comment.

Kise watched the girls looking over to Midorima now. While Murasakibara was munching and thinking to himself, Kise smiled. 'Well, looks like Midorima-cchi is getting some attention now.' Kise thought and was rather pleased. He was actually afraid no girls would even look at him. Thank goodness for Midorima!

Five minutes later…

"Here he comes," Himuro said with his eyes to his right.

Again, everyone all turned to look. Aomine yawned when he was in everyone's view. He blinked and his eyes had tiny tears in them. When he approached them, he took the last seat and leaned his left elbow on the corner of the table. "I wasn't late, was I?" Aomine asked, looking at the girls' chests. He noticed Moto's chest was bigger. Maybe because she was taller.

Fukui covered up her chest when she saw where his eyes were looking. "Geez, ya're supposed ta look at our faces, not down there," she giggled at him.

"Let's just get this over wait," Aomine sighed, lazily looking at Kise.

"Right then," Kise beamed, looking over to Fukui next to him. "Why don't we start with you first and then Koizumi-san can go next? Don't forget to add a bit about yourself too."

Nodding, Fukui stood up and bowed. "Nice ta meet all of you, my name Fukui Kotone," she remained standing up. With a finger to her lips, she added, "I love ta cook everyday. It's become more than a hobby ta me now. Heh heh." Fukui quickly sat back down on her chair.

Breathing a bit, Koizumi stayed seated and introduced herself indifferently. "I am Koizumi Sayuri," she nodded. Her eyes barely met any of their gazes. "I like sewing."

"I'm Moto Shizuka!" the tall girl raised her hand, smiling joyfully. "You can say I'm the big smile of the group and I tend to do a lot of crazy things! I can't help it, so please forgive my rudeness that I always fail to notice!"

"That's why I'm here ta make sure ya behave," Fukui chuckled to herself.

Midorima was next and he said, "I'm Midorima Shintarou. I'm a Cancer."

"Who carries lucky charms," Moto grinned to him and he gave her a blank look in return.

"…Aomine Daiki," the blue haired tanned guy said. He waved a little and his eyes at no one really. "I love basketball."

"Hey," Sakai pouted to him and he gave her a look. "We all know you guys like basketball. Tell us something we don't know."

He could not believe that was not enough, but he decided to go along with it. "Uh…" he thought out loud for a moment. What else did he like? He smirked a little, "I like girls with big boobs." Koizumi looked away with a disgusted face. Aomine frowned, "Hey, I saw that. What's wrong with liking big boobs?"

Moto laughed loudly and Aomine looked at her. "Oh, I don't know," Moto answered for Koizumi. "But I'm sure our other friend, Seki-chan, will have something to comment about it for sure!"

Aomine narrowed his eyes, "What, don't tell me you girls don't like guys with big di—"

"My name is Himuro Tatsuya," the guy with the mole under his eye quickly interrupted with a smile. He had to do it or else Aomine would have said a forbidden word. What if these girls were pure and innocent? "I know I was not supposed to be here, but I thought it would be amusing if I came."

"Then I'm glad you came, Himuro-san," Moto giggled softly, winking at him.

Sakai looked away with a happy thought, 'Hopefully Moto-chan won't make fun of me and bother Kise anymore.' Now Sakai can have Kise all to herself, even if Moto had no intentions of taking a friend's guy away. Moto was not like that at all.

Koizumi was sitting across from Himuro since the two of them were in the center of the two tables. She kept her eyes away and would stare at the table or other things that were going around them. But the only thing that went through her head was, 'Himuro's pretty cute.' Then she would remind herself Moto had already seemed to call dips on him. So Koizumi tried to think of something else.

Murasakibara realized it was his turn when Himuro elbowed him in the arm. "And I'm Murasakibara Atsushi," the purple haired guy said before eating chips. "Things that I like are—"

Moto giggled, "Hello, A-chan!"

He frowned at her, "Don't call me that."

"A-chan," Fukui repeated, but more to herself. Murasakibara gave her a look too and Fukui nodded to herself. "That sounds really cute! A fitting name for such tall guy who looks like a child. Haha!"

All the while Murasakibara tiredly staring at the two hyper girls, Aomine talked over them. "And what about the girl with the blond hair?" Aomine pointed. "She hadn't gone yet."

"Oh, you don't know," Sakai beamed. "I was from the first mixer. I came here to replace Tomi-chan because she was sick."

"Tomi-chan?" Aomine raised an eyebrow. As if he knew what the hell she was talking about.

Kise smiled, "Tomimura was the one who asked these girls to come for this mixer, Aomine-cchi."

"Oh," Aomine blinked. "…But you're not going to introduce yourself anyway?"

"Mind as well," Sakai nodded. Murasakibara stopped talking and everyone was slightly quiet. "I'm Sakai Rin. I like to dance."

"There, are we done now?" Midorima pushed up his glasses, eager to leave before his horoscope was right.

"So soon?" Moto laughed softly at him. "We haven't even started ordering for pizza yet!"

"I'll go in and get some for us," Fukui stood up with a smile. She looked at everyone quickly, "Who likes ta eat what on their pizza? Chicken? Pineapple? Mushrooms?"

"Any is fine," Kise kindly told her.

Murasakibara stood up, "I'll get something for the guys and you can get something for the girls."

Fukui nodded as she walked around the table and to him. "Sounds fair enough," she smiled up to him. And wow, he was seriously tall. She felt like her neck would break if she looked at him for too long. As they walked to the building together, she giggled, "A-chan's so mature ta buy orders for his friends, eh?"

"I told you, don't call me A-chan," he said, narrowing her eyes down to her.

She giggled more, "If that's what ya wish, then I'll only call ya 'A-chan' when I'm getting angry with ya, kay?"

He nodded, "Fine. I don't think you'll ever get mad at me though. We probably won't see each other after this."

"Not unless I get ya's number," she hinted with a smirk. Being the first to open the door herself, she blinked when his arm over her head held the door wide opened for her. She giggled softly and entered into the building.

Murasakibara went in after her. And he sounded like he was whining, "You want my number? Why?" And then the door closed behind them.

Kise made a happy expression when Murasakibara was chatting with Fukui so naturally. 'The sparks are flying for Murasakibara-cchi!' he grinned happily.

"Midorima-san, I want to eat your orange," Moto leaned to the left to him.

"No," he told her.

She giggled, "Aw, you're cute when you refuse!" He pushed up his glasses and said nothing.

"Hey, Kise," Sakai smiled to him. He blinked at her and she said, "I checked out the magazines for the last few days. I saw you in one of them and I think you're totally hot!"

He chuckled, "Thank you."

Aomine looked at everyone at the table. "So," he looked to Himuro to his left. "It's surprising to see you here… Why are you really here?"

"To witness all of you getting a girlfriend," he smiled a bit secretively.

"Oh, so you aren't here for the mixer?" Aomine asked him, giving him a weird look. "You didn't come with the slightest objective of getting a girl yourself?"

Himuro blinked, "…Not really. No."

Daydreaming off, Koizumi begun to realize Moto was talking to Midoroma, Kise with Sakai, and Aomine with Himuro. She glared at her hands on her lap and felt disappointed in herself. 'As usual… I can't even bring myself to start up a conversation,' Koizumi frowned. She wanted to leave and go back home. She wanted to be alone now.

Moto suddenly wrapped her arm around Koizumi's shoulders, laughing cheerfully. "If you want, you can get together with Koizumi-chan, Midorima-san!" Moto encouraged.

"I…" Midorima looked at them seriously.

Expressionlessly, Koizumi said, "Moto, stop it…"

Moto pulled away from Koizumi to stand up. "Here, give that orange to her right now as a token of love," she went next to him to grab for his orange.

"H-Hey," Midorima had a small sweat on his face. Her hand missed his orange when he pulled his left arm away. "I can't give this to anyone. It's my lucky charm of the day." She laughed and her chest pushed against his arm. With a slight blush, he uttered, "Stop this instant!"

Aomine and Himuro stared at them blankly. Kise and Sakai looked over when they heard the ruckus. And Koizumi watched as Moto missed her footing, falling into Midorima's arms. He almost fell out of his seat due to her pushing around and she giggled in his face. He closed his eyes to hide his embarrassment of their closeness, slightly pushing her away.

"Sorry about that," Moto stood up straight, laughing lightly. She was surprised how he did not fall over because she sort of did it on purpose. He must be very stronger than he looked. "I didn't think your lucky charm meant so much for you."

"Uh… well…" he pushed up his glasses as she went back to her seat.

"Geez, sorry, Koizumi-chan," Moto hugged her, hanging from Koizumi's neck. "It seems Midorima-san will never trade anything in his hand for you."

Koizumi flatly stared into space, "I don't care…"

Clearing his throat, Midorima was quiet again. Kise smiled and rubbed his chin as Sakai giggled at Kise's face. 'The progress is going good so far,' Kise thought to himself. Now there was only Aomine. Kise glanced to Koizumi and noticed she seemed no longer interested in the mixer. 'Aw, man,' Kise sighed. He needed something to happen to Aomine. Anything!

Author's note: If you don't know what was I trying to do here on this chapter, I was messing around with possible pairings. When I first wrote this chapter, I wasn't sure who I want which guy to be with which girl. Because I started this fanfic being completely clueless. That was how Akashi x Tomimura happened because I didn't decide on the couples, but that does not mean I will go with Akashi x Tomimura. The future is a blur to me right now. Anything can happen.

You'll see in the next couple of chapters that I will still be trying to see who looks better with who. Or maybe no one at all.

Thanks for reading!
