Monday, 5:00 AM - Seirin High School, Tokyo
It is the day where our basketball prodigies, along with their respective partners and teammates, will conduct the first ever joint summer camp slash charity project initiated by none other than the Chihuahua himself, Furihata Kouki. It has been a week since all the planning and brainstorming but they have managed to come up with a great idea for the said project itself.
The first to arrive at the meeting place is the bus of Tokyo's very own Seirin team. Furihata Kouki is pacing back and forth in the gym entrance while holding his cellphone, dialing Akashi for the umpteenth time since they are there. Kuroko, being the most observant and considerate teammate he is, approaches the brunet and stares at him like someone saw a wagging fish ot the soil.
"Furihata-kun." the shadow player says, earning a jump and shriek from the brunet.
"Ahhhhh! Kurokoooooo!" Furihata screams in all his voice, almost dropping his phone. Kuroko, deadpanned, looks mildly surprised.
"I've been calling out your name for three minutes, to be exact." Kuroko casts a worried look on his friend. "Is there something wrong? Are you nervous?"
Furihata has always been nervous when it comes to things, especially those with high importance. Either he will pace around or tap any nearby surface with his fingers. This is something he started, and he hopes for it to succeed. He doesn't know what to do if this one won't go the way he planned it.
"Sorry, Kuroko. Yes, I'm nervous. Akashi hasn't answered the phone yet. Is he still sleeping, or was he tired from work?"
"Furihata-kun..." Kuroko starts with a straight glance. "You've been texting Akashi-kun last night and he said he's tired from work. But knowing him, he might be on the way here with Rakuzan."
"Y-You t-think so?" Furihata's sweating even though it's quite cold.
"Of course, Furihata-kun. Try to look at your back." Kuroko hints, then Furihata follows the instruction. And he is right, Akashi standing there in the flesh.
"Seeeeeeeei!" Furihata quickly runs to his boyfriend's side, earning a chuckle and ruffling of his head from the redhead.
"Kouki, you are not the only one nervous for this project." Akashi speaks with such comforting tone, and a contrast to his statement - he is not looking nervous at all.
"Kou-chan! Kuro-chan!" and then the conversation is followed by that overly sweet voice.
"Reo-nee! Thank you for coming!" Furihata quickly bowed in front of the Rakuzan shooting guard.
"Mibuchi-san, pleasure to see you here." Kuroko bows and smiles.
"My pleasure, Kou-chan, Kuro-chan! Chi-chan has come as well!" Mibuchi points to his boyfriend who reads a novel.
"Mayuzumi-senpai, thank you for being here!" Furihata bowed again.
"You're welcome, Furihata." Mayuzumi replies, looking at the brunet for a bit then back to reading.
"Geez, Chi-chan loves his books more than me. I think I should fine another boyfriend." Mibuchi protests and a long sigh is heard from the silver-haired teen, instantly closing his book upon hearing the bad news.
"What do you want me to do, Reo?" Mayuzumi speaks up, glaring at his boyfriend.
"Oh Chi-chan! We all know you're an introvert but please be sociable at least! We're going on a charity project not a library event!"
"Ah no, Reo-nee! It's okay if Mayuzumi-senpai doesn't want to speak more." Furihata instantly utters an apology to the silver-haired teen.
"I agree with Kouki. I am still wondering how you two ended up together, not that I am against it. But seeing your complete opposite personalities do the questioning." Akashi adds, putting an arm around Furihata's waist.
"Oh Sei-chan, only you would live to tell the tale." Mibuchi just chuckles.
"Do you see a problem on me being with Reo, Akashi?" Mayuzumi then closes his book again, facing the redhead.
"Like I said, senpai, I am not against it. I am merely wondering."
"And you being with Furihata isn't full of wonders?"
"Oh, Kou-chan... They can go on like that for all day." Mibuchi whispers to Furihata and the brunet just chuckles.
"What's so funny, Chihuahua?" "Kouki, this isn't funny."
"No... I'm just glad you two are rooting for each other."
"Only Furihata-kun can live to tell the truth. And Akashi-kun, Mayuzumi-san, please refrain from being tsundere because I haven't seen Midorima-kun yet." Kuroko inserts, completely poker-faced but inwardly happy.
"Who said I wasn't here yet?" and then another voice joins the crew.
"Aww! Hello guys! What a great way to start the day over there!" and another.
"Midorima-san, Taka! Welcome!" Furihata is the first to snap out of it and greets the Shuutoku duo.
"Ah, Shintarou... Kazunari."
"Midorima-kun, Takao-kun. Good morning."
"Hmm. Our bus has just arrived." Midorima adjusts his glasses. "And one of your teammate, Hayama, is already talking to Miyaji-senpai."
"That's right!" Takao grins. "Don't you think they have something like we do?"
"Don't assume all people are into your favorite stuff, Takao!"
"But I was just making a guess!"
"Silly. To answer your question, Ko-chan is pining for Miyaji-chan's attention." Mibuchi is the one who speaks up. Almost everyone has smiles on their faces.
"I completely forgot you are an expert on this field, Mibuchi-san!" Takao compliments, Mayuzumi mentally face-palms.
"Goes without saying Taka-chan!" and Mibuchi's smiles is brighter than ever, and Mayuzumi blushes a bit.
"Yo!" another voice joins the crew.
"Kurokocchi!" a loud, whiny voice adds.
"Aomine-san, Kise-san!" Furihata waves.
"Are we late, Furi?" Aomine asks.
"Not at all, Aomine-san." Furihata shakes his head. "Has Kise-san slept in your apartment?"
"Yeah. Probably avoiding hassle."
"I see." Furihata answers, Kise hogging Kuroko in the background.
"Touou's bus is outside. Probably your coach is checking the teams with Satsuki."
"Okay! Thank you Aomine-san."
"Nah. C'mon, let's get inside the gym. I'm gonna ruin Bakagami's day-" and a loud yelp is heard after that.
"T-Tetsu, y-you d-demon!" Aomine winces in pain at his side.
"You're not here to do anything of the sort, Aomine-kun. And please keep Kise-kun to your side. I am not comfortable."
"But Kurokocchi, I missed you! And I'm always with Aominecchi so he understands!" Kise whines like a 5 year old... again.
"You also need to understand about personal space, Kise-kun. You and AHOmine-kun are similarly irritating." Kuroko frees himself from Kise's grasp.
"Hey! Why am I included?! You just jabbed me and now you call me an idiot?!" Aomine snaps at the shadow player.
"Because it's what you are, Aomine-kun. Please keep Kise-kun to your side throughout the camp or you'll both get a taste of my Ignite Punch Kai."
"Sheesh. So violent, Kurokocchi!" Kise sighs defeatedly, clinging to Aomine for support.
"Did I hear violence? What is happening?" another person appeared in the scene. Everyone looks and sees the Yosen Mirage player.
"Kuro-chin, is Kise-chin bothering you? I will crush him for you..." another voice of a tall fellow comes in.
"O-Oi! Murasakibaracchi!" Kise protests at the upcoming violence.
"Himuro-san, Murasakibara-san! Welcome!" Furihata manages to greet the new ones during the ordeal.
"It appears we consumed a lot of time dilly-dallying... Shall we go, Kouki?" Akashi holds one hand of Furihata and starts walking inside the gym.
"Hm! Let's go guys!" and they all proceed to set themselves inside the Seirin Gym.

Seirin expects a lot of people so Coach Aida prepares tables for each basketball team involved in this project. The other upperclassman of Seirin guides the other teams to their respective seats. When they are all settled, the coaches go up the stage and sit on their designated chairs. Satsuki is assigned as the MC for this opening ceremony.
"Good morning, everyone! Welcome to Furi-kun's Charity Project! All schools of the GoM are here to give their help in providing success to the Project!" Momoi pauses, then looks at everyone then her paper. "As stated, our combined efforts will be the key to make this summer camp successful." Momoi explains, stating the information regarding the organization, the program for a whole week, and much more. The coaches are given a chance to give their thoughts and support on the project, all praising Furihata for his wonderful idea and commitment to this cause. The brunet blushes deeply and hides his face on Akashi's shoulder, earning a good laugh from the others.
"Thank you so much, coaches! Now, let's do a roll call of the teams present today! Let's us start with my school, Touou Academy!" Momoi shouts at the name of her school and the team members stood up, namely Aomine, Imayoshi, Sakurai, Wakamatsu and Susa.
"Alright! Next we have - as someone requested - Kaijou High School!" Momoi announces and Kise instantly jumps in joy then run towards Aomine's direction. The tanned teen's eyes widen for a fraction of a second before catching his pretty boyfriend, earning some giggles but more retching noises. Kasamatsu, Moriyama, Hayakawa and Kobori just clap for the team.
"Shush, all of you!" Aomine snaps and lets Kise sit on his lap. However, they don't notice the stares given by Kasamatsu and Sakurai to each other.
"Next, we have Midorin's team, Shuutoku High!" Momoi announces and Takao raises a fist in the air, which Midorima just shrugs off and adjusts his glasses. Miyaji, Kimura and Ootsubo clap for the team.
"And then we have the team all the way from Akita... Mukkun's team - Yosen High School!" Momoi announces and Himuro stands up, clapping gorgeously while Murasakibara just eats his snacks. Okamura, Fukui and Wei Liu also stand up and clap for the team.
"Thank you. Now we have the team from Kyoto - Akashi-kun's team - none other than Rakuzan High School!" Momoi announces and Miyaji instantly stands up with clapping hands. Nebuya, Mayuzumi, Mibuchi and Akashi just stand up and bow together.
"And of course, the school that defeated all the GoM in Winter Cup," this earns quite a lot of groans and long sighs. "together with their beloved Light and Shadow tandem..." but this one earns a lot of smiles from other teams. "also, the home team of the Pioneer of this Charity Project - Furi-kun!" and a lot of claps are heard when the brunet's name is announced. "Here they come, Seirin High School!" and everyone from the team stands up and yells cheers. Kagami, Kuroko, Hyuuga, Kiyoshi, Izuki, Koganei, Mitobe, Fukuda, Kawahara, and Tsuchida are present.
"There you have it! Our teams will have their buses ready in a short while. For the meantime, let us enjoy a breakfast buffet prepared by Seirin's very own Kagamin, Mitobe-san and Furi-kun! Again, good morning to everyone!" Momoi finishes her speech and goes down the stage to join her two best friends. The audience claps for a while then proceeds to eat their breakfast. The couples are together, as always - Kagami and Kuroko in Seirin's table, Akashi and Furihata in Rakuzan's table, Aomine and Kise in Touou's table, Midorima and Takao in Shuutoku's table, and Murasakibara and Himuro in Yosen's table.
"A-Ano, Kasamatsu-san..." Sakurai suddenly appeared in front of the Kaijou captain.
"Uhm, Sakurai..." Kasamatsu is nervous as fuck. He only gets this feeling with girls but what happened with Sakurai?
"I brought you breakfast, Yuki-san..." Sakurai lays the bento on Kasamatsu's side of the table. The other Kaijou members are having eyes like saucers. Their captain had better be explaining what's going on.
"R-Ryou, you don't have to do this. We already have breakfast here." Kasamatsu nervousness easily becomes a knowing grin.
"I'm sorry I forgot! Sorry, Yuki-san!" Sakurai keeps bowing in apology and the Kaijou players sigh. The apologetic mushroom is always living to tell the tale.
"It's fine... We can eat this together. Sit on me, Ryou." Kasamatsu signals his boyfriend to sit on his lap. Much to the other's surprise, the Touou shooting guard actually follows the instruction with a blush on his face.
"Y-yes, Yuki-san." and that morning is livelier than it ever has.
