A little part two to make up for my absence, :) ;)
Aomine's words stopped the tall teen in his tracks. He turned then, just a fraction, to find two gazes now fiercely focused- gazes of fierce animals- and knew he was going to have to get involved now.
Hours.
They had circled the gyms for what Midorima swore had to be the twentieth time as they had searched for their teammates. Even as he sighed in exasperation again at their situation, Kise's words infiltrated his ears, the now silent halls making his voice echo. Hopefully they would be able to shut him up if another coach made the rounds.
"...and then Kasamatsu-senpai said that he was suddenly tired and that he was going to go to bed early- you know. So I didn't even bother him when I tiptoed into the room, but then I couldn't find my toothbrush- you know, my lucky blue and silver one I keep for games?- so I tried to ask him if he knew where it was! And there were only PILLOWS!"
Maybe they would have to just duck-tape the blond's mouth shut to keep him from getting them caught, Midorima thought, though the story did interest him enough.
"I don't really know what happened with Satsuki," Aomine spoke even as he swung his light around the latest gym they had walked into, looking as bored as ever. "She got her own cabin so I wasn't really thinking of anything, but when I was on my way back from a late bath, I could have sworn I saw her rushing through the hallway, as if she was in a hurry. I tried her cabin later after the coach told me she had gone to bed early and found it empty."
Both boys then turned to Midorima who simply pushed his glasses back up the bridge of his nose before speaking, entering the outside courtyard from their latest gym exploration.
"I was walking with Takao from when we had stayed late to practice and when I turned to speak to him, he had dissapeared." He paused in thought then continued. "Considering on how he was doing something on his phone before he dissapeared, I'm guessing someone messaged him or something.
The other two boys immediately looked deep in thought for a moment as they paused in the middle of the darkened and empty courtyard, the space barely lit by a light posted on the upper corner of the gym they had just vacated as it flickered periodically.
"It's true," Kise spoke softly, his eyes hard in concentration. "Kasamatsu was also on his phone more than usual before he claimed he was too tired and left."
"And I think Satsuki had her phone in front her when she was sprinting away from the gym." Aomine added.
"So they're connected," A voice spoke from the darkness, making all three of them freeze. "Is that what you're saying?"
