A/N: This oneshot involves 2nd year! Daiki & Satsuki as well as my Tōōheadcanon of them being able to win the Winter Cup if they actually worked together. They're my fave team tbh, they're just so formidable and having Satsuki as a manager is a huge plus so there's that.
"MOMOI-SENPAIIII!"
"Eh?" The manager of Tōō Academy's basketball team, Momoi Satsuki, now a Second year, stopped at the sound of her name being called by two running lowerclassmen.
"Ohayou, Momoi-senpai!" The two greeted, smiling "I'm Saki and this is kimi-chan! We're members of the journalism club who were assigned to write for the sports section of Tōō Times! We were wondering if you could help us get Aomine-senpai for a photoshoot? Please, senpai!" The blonde one, Saki, looked at her with pleading eyes while the redhead, Kimi, smiled shyly, her eyes cast downward.
"I'd love to help, Saki-chan, Kimi-chan, but Dai-chan? Why? Why not the captain, Wakamatsu-senpai?" The manager asked politely, her head tilted to the side in confusion
Kimi beamed "Well you see Momoi-senpai, with our school winning this year's Winter Cup, we decided that it would be best to feature the ace, Aomine-senpai, at the cover of our school paper! His performance that day was tremendous!"
Satsuki smiled. It was true. Ever since their loss to Seirin last year, Daiki returned to his usual, motivated self. Sure, there were times when he'd slack off and she'd have to drag his lazy ass off the rooftop, but he actually showed more interest and he regained his love for basketball once more. He pushed himself and led the team to win this year's Winter Cup against Seirin.
It was a match no one would forget.
Since the start of the winter cup, everyone was stunned with Tōō's incredible teamwork.
It was a well-deserved win.
Satsuki smiled at the memory, she couldn't have been any prouder for her boys
"Yeah, yeah! I've heard a lot of boys saying they'd like to join Tōō's basketball team, too! Apparently, they were stunned with Tōō's incredible play. They also said that the manager was not only pretty, but smart, too!" Saki nudged the pink-haired manager playfully
At this, she blushed "Really? W-wow. That's amazing." She smiled prettily, Saki and Kimi were starstruck
"Anyway, do you see it now, Momoi-senpai? Aomine-senpai on the cover of our school paper reading 'Aomine Daiki: The Answer, The Ace'" Kimi said in an announcer-like voice
"KYAAAAH" The girls squealed and the older girl laughed "How awesome would that be, Momoi-senpai? We need your help! Please please pleaaaase?"
Momoi smiled once more, fond of the two younger girls who were, without a doubt, fans of her best friend. "Alright, Saki-chan, Kimi-chan. I'll try to get Dai-chan for your cover. No promises, though. You know how he gets sometimes"
"Arigato, Momoi-senpai! You really are the best!" Saki beamed and hugged the girl, Kimi doing the same
Momoi returned the hug and ruffled the two shorter girl's heads "You're welcome. Now if you'll excuse me, I have an ace to convince" She turned around and winked at them before leaving
"Can you believe it, Kimi-chan? We just might be able to make this cover story!"
"I knooow, Saki-chan! This might just help us get a higher position in the club next year!"
The girls squealed and hugged each other, laughing
"I can't wait!"
"No."
"What the hell do you mean 'No'?! Come on, Dai-chan! Stop being such a sourpuss"
After talking with her lowerclassmen and seeing how excited they were to get her bestfriend on the school paper, Satsuki couldn't help but talk to Daiki right away regarding the matter
It just so happens that the latter was being his usual, boring, self.
The blue-haired teen raised a brow at the word "Seriously, Satsuki?" He sat up from his sleeping postion on the roof "Why do they even need me for the article, anyway? I'm not the captain" He shurgged, twirling a basketball on his index finger
The manager facepalmed "That's what I told them! But apparently, you were 'the ace who led the team to victory and inspired lots of young boys to study at Tōō Academy!' " She exclaimed, exasperated. "Please, Dai-chan? If anything, do it for those kids." She sat infront of him, kneeling as he twirled the ball on his finger
He stared at her for a few seconds "Kids? They're first years, Satsuki. Just a year younger than us"
"I know that. Please, Dai-chan? It's just a photoshoot for Touou's paper!"
"No"
"DEMO, DAI-CHAN!"
After class, the next day
"Here you go, Saki-chan, Kimi-chan! The man of the hour!" Satsuki beamed, presenting her bestfriend who looked like he'd rather be hanging out with Kagami rather than be surrounded with all this estrogen.
And that was saying a lot
Satsuki elbowed him in the stomach, urging him to greet the younger, expectant girls.
"Ow, what the hell?!"
"The least you could do is greet the people who have been waiting for you, you jerk!"
Daiki made a face but turned to the blonde and the redhead anyway. He was met with their excited smiles. The ace grew uncomfortable since he was not used to people actually looking forward to meeting him, though he knew he was admired by a few, girls and boys (in basketball- and well, maybe off-court, too) alike.
"Uh, hey, you two."
"Ahhh! Aomine-senpai! How nice of you to help us! Arigato Gozaimasu, Momoi-senpai! You work fast!" Saki squealed as the two of them bowed quickly and ushered their upperclassmen to sit on the chairs as the others prepared the "studio"
"You see, our friends from the photography club are here to help us take Aomine-senpai's pictures! They're also very excited for you since you reportedly rejected every other offer to be photographed for Touou's school paper, Aomine-senpai!" Kimi giggled
Said ace, however, wasn't paying attention since he was busy looking around the studio. He leaned closer to the pink-haired manager and whispered
"Damn, Satsuki. How many clubs does Touou have? I didnt even know we had a photography club or a journalism club"
Said girl twitched in irritation and elbowed him at the side of his stomach, again "It's because basketball's the only thing inside that thick skull of yours, Dai-chan!" She exclaimed while the taller boy rolled his eyes but kept quiet
'Well, not like she's wrong or anythin''
"Anyway!" Satsuki beamed, clasping her hands together "let's get this started, shall we? First, what's he supposed to wear?"
"Do you have your jersey there, Aomine-senpai? Because that would be perfect!"
"Yeah, just a sec" the power forward took his school uniform and undershirt off in front of the girls, without any sense of embarrassment.
Just when he was about to grab his jersey and change,
"DAI-CHAN WHAT THE HELL THERE'S A BATHROOM FOR A REASON!" The smaller manager threw his clothes right back at his naked chest and pushed him in the direction of the bathroom.
"YOU TOLD ME TO CHANGE!"
"I DIDNT MEAN TO CHANGE INFRONT OF OUR KOUHAIS"
"WHO CARES I DO IT INFRONT OF YOU ALL THE TIME"
"DONT SAY IT LIKE THAT THEY MIGHT GET THE WRONG IDEA! CHANGING AROUND THE TEAM WHEN I HAPPEN TO BE THERE IS A DIFFERENT STORY!"
Meanwhile
Saki and Kimi, along with the female members of the photography club were frozen with beet red faces
"H-holy shit, Kimi!" Saki exclaimed as she fanned herself "THAT WAS HOT"
"I know, you can say that again!" Saki squealed, pretending to do a fainting motion
"Did you see his abs? Oh my god I swear I-
"OKAY He's back and decent!"
"Damn" Satsuki turned to the direction of the camera girl who looked disappointed that Daiki was now fully clothed and was wearing his jersey, she laughed while the said ace chuckled
"He's all yours, Saki-chan, Kimi-chan" The manager smiled, sitting at the chair, watching closely
Saki cleared her throat "Okay so, uh, Aomine-senpai please sit while they apply makeup on your face"
" 'The fuck?" A giggle escaped his best friend and he glared at her "Screw this, you're not putting that shit on my face"
"NO, NO, NO! Calm down, Aomine-senpai! It's just powder so your face doesn't look all shiny and stuff in the camera" Kimi explained quickly
"Oh. Well, damn say that earlier" everyone in the room laughed
"Anyway, first of all, thanks for agreeing to do this, Aomine-senpai! We know you're busy so this really means a lot to us" Saki said while a member of the photography club was applying powder to Aomine's face
"Eh, not that I had a choice since I was practically dragged here but, sure, I guess. Lets just get this over with" He shrugged, tilting his head to give the girl better access to put powder on his face
"Details, Dai-chan" Momoi dismissed, waving a hand in her face. She received another glare in return, which caused her to laugh
"So hmm. For the first pose.." Saki held her chin, switching to a thinking position "I was thinking maybe we could go for the authorative aura"
"Oooh, i know! Aomine-senpai, stand there in your jersey, sling your Tōō jacket on your right arm, keep your left hand next to your hip, and place the ball in between."
"I look stupid"
"Nonsense! Now smile Aomine-senp- oh! That's even better!" Kimi smiled when the ace sported his usual, cocky smirk.
'He looks so good' she squealed inwardly
"Okay next, Aomine-senpai!"
"Satsuki, I'm going to fucking kill you"
"eheheh gomen, Dai-chan" The manager laughed nervously
2 hours later...
"Thank you so much for your cooperation, Aomine-senpai!" Saki grinned up at the tall upperclassman who nodded in reply "You can change now!"
"Thank fuck" Daiki stretched lazily as he headed to the bathroom "thought it was never going to end. How does Kise deal with this shit?" he grumbled angrily to himself
"Ahhh these look so good, Saki-chan!" Kimi, who was scrolling through the camera, squealed as she called her friend
Curious, Satsuki went over to peer at the camera as well
Seeing her best friend in the photos, sporting different poses like he did this everyday, made her smile brightly.
He never fails to surprise her even throughout all these years that she's known him.
Who would've known that the Aomine Daiki was so damn photogenic?
"My, Dai-chan looks good! You two did well" The manager winked and her lowerclassmen high fived in return as they thanked her
"Make sure to give me copies, okay?"
"Oh?" A deep, teasing voice said from behind her.
Satsuki froze
She felt a toned arm wrap around her shoulders and she blushed in embarrassment at being caught
"C'mon, Satsuki. If you wanted photos, you could've just asked" the ace chuckled loudly "I would've posed for you, y'know" he shrugged, still smirking at his now-red best friend
Blushing deeper, she removed his arm on her and pushed his tall frame out of the room "Shut up, Dai-chan! Let's just go home"
"Oi, don't forget to give her the copies!"
"OH MY GOD, DAI-CHAN!" She shrieked and his resounding laugh echoed throughout the corridor
Saki and Kimi broke out into a laugh,
"They are so cute"
A/N: Is this it? Am I officially going to update this often? Shit, I hope so. Also, I can't believe I really added my "Tōōtimes" pun into this. Why am I like this.
Plus, the headline "The Answer" came from the legend Allen Iverson's nickname. I've always associated my boy Daiki with him since he plays a lot like him and they actually have a lot in common. I also found out that Al is Daiki's favorite player so, yeah.
Anyway, I hope you liked it! Please review :)
