Monday, 8:00 AM - Living Dreams Foundation, Tokyo
After the opening program at the Seirin Gym, all the teams in their school buses have arrived at their destination. The bus ride is not as animated as what is expected. The couples who have their partner in other schools agree to just meet again at this venue. And so, here they are.
The facade of the foundation building is not that grand, but very welcoming. All the people involved in this charity project gather there with some hustle and bustle. That is, until Coach Aida calls their attention.
"MINNA!" a boisterous voice effectively shuts the ongoing fiasco, making them face the owner of that voice. Aida breathes deeply then starts speaking about the matter of which they are here today. Everyone listens, some nodding and some humming are heard all over the lump of people gathered. After Aida's speech, a person who is in his middle age is revealed through the main door of the building.
"Ah! So you are the students who will conduct a charity project here!" the voice of this person is warm, as if welcoming the teams in their own home. Everyone looks at him, probably wondering who he is. "My name is Nagase Akihito. I am the director of this foundation's chapter here in Tokyo. Pleasure to meet you all." and everyone greets him, too. Suddenly, he begins looking for a specific person among the crowd.
"Uhm, are you looking for someone in particular, Nagase-san?" Aida asks the older man, who faces her afterwards.
"Ah, sorry I must have startled you there." Nagase apologizes. "Well, yes, I am looking for Furihata Kouki. Is he here?"
"Here!" and a flash of chestnut hair appears in front of him. Some wonder how Furihata becomes that fast. Oh, Akashi.
"Why hello there, Furihata-san. You must be the one who started this charity project, aren't you?" Nagase asks and the brunet nods.
"Yes, Nagase-san. I thought of it first, but everyone here helped me out with my plan." the ever warm smile Furihata emits is there.
"A team plan, perhaps?" Nagase asks.
"Indeed, Nagase-san." another voice joins the conversation.
"Ah, you must be Akashi-san of the Akashi Zaibatsu. Pleasure to meet you in person." Nagase handshakes with the redhead, who accepts it.
"Certainly, Nagase-san. I am here to support my boyfriend on his project." Akashi boldly says, making the older man stunned for a bit.
"You mean, Furihata-san is your-"
"Yes, Nagase-san! Now, can we proceed to the events area?" Furihata butts in and Nagase can only nod at that.
"Uh, sure. Follow me to the events area." and they all go inside the building.
XOXOXOXOXO
The Living Dreams Foundation building has 37 floors, probably indicating that the President of this organization is way too rich. The teens are led to the events area, where they will set up all the necessary materials. This area is just at the back of the building, with a wide space for other recreational activities. There is a basketball court near the clubhouse, and Furihata instantly brightens up at this. The others are bringing in a lot of stuff from their buses. Some of them are setting up tents since they want to have a summer camp here, which Director Nagase happily approves of.
The coaches of each team join Director Nagase for a short meeting regarding the events. Akashi already handed the folder to Shirogane, which contains all the pertinent information for each event included in the summer camp. Meanwhile, the said redhead and his brunet boyfriend are busy setting up their tent, as well as Kagami and Kuroko (who are actually teasing each other while setting up), Aomine and Kise (who are already inside their tent and making out first thing in the morning), Midorima and Takao (who are just sitting in front of their open tent), and Murasakibara and Himuro (who are done setting up and the former is busy eating snacks again.)
On the other hand, Mayuzumi and Mibuchi are enjoying the view. The Rakuzan shooting guard sits on the grass while the silver-haired one has his head laid on Mibuchi's lap, reading his book again. Kasamatsu and Sakurai are having some issues with the tent, or maybe not really the tent. The Kaijou Captain actually is busy admiring his lover while the said lover is the one setting up the tent. Kiyoshi and Hyuuga are done setting up their tent so they are now setting up the mini kitchen a few meters away from everyone's tents.
"Just look at them all, Kouki. It feels so refreshing." Akashi says after setting up their tent.
"Yeah. I wish they would be together until the end, too." Furihata replies, then beams at Akashi.
"I know they will. I am not a horoscope fan like Shintarou, but I can see that they all belong to their respective partners."
"Right." the brunet sighs happily. "Are you hungry now, Sei? I have a bento for you."
"Thank you, Kouki but I am still full. You and Taiga are wonders of the kitchen."
"Sei! Not again..." Furihata blushes full force upon hearing another embarrassing compliment from his boyfriend.
"Forgive me, Kouki. I am just too excited for this whole week with you and our friends."
"Me too, Sei. I never imagined there are so many who wanted to help."
"And only you managed to convince them fully without my influence. That's very good for you."
"Thanks, I guess." Furihata chuckles.
"Only you would be so humble, Kouki. Only you." Akashi says and places a kiss on the brunet's forehead, as a sign of utmost respect not just as a basketball player, but a true person indeed.

At around 9:00 AM, all the teams are gathered at the clubhouse, where the opening program for the kids will begin. Thanks to some of the crafty players from each team, the venue is designed much like a children's playground. The kids like it though, as there are squeals from girls and yells from boys. Furihata is sooooo happy to see that the kids are enjoying the first day of their summer camp.
And so, the program starts with Kise as the MC, partnered by Takao. These two are very creative at their lines, making the kids laugh at their jokes. Izuki feels like he has been out of the league. Kise announces the events for today while Takao introduces some people to give remarks, one of them being Louise Jae. But Akashi tells her that her lecture will be conducted on Wednesday. The woman, however, is called by Furihata to attend the opening program - which she agreed on.
"And so, we will now proceed with our first event! Takaocchi, isn't this exciting?!" a cutesy Kise speaks, making Aomine blush at the sight.
"I agree, Kise-chan! And this event will be..." and there is Takao's pause.
"PARLOR GAMES!" both shouts in cheery voice.
"Takaocchi, the kids are excited!" Kise comments, noticing most of the kids standing up immediately.
"I can see that, Kise-chan!" Takao nods, then faces the kids. "Are you ready kids?"
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!" chorus yells of approval are heard. Midorima can't help a grin at Takao's composure.
"Alright! So first, we'll play the Bring Me game! You know that game, kids?" Kise poses as one of his modelling styles. Most of the kids nod in understanding.
"Very good! So, here's how we'll do it." Kise pauses dramatically. "Me and Takaocchi will be the ones who are going to say things that you will bring here in front. If you think you have that thing, run ahead and go first! The kids with 1st place in three trials will be declared winners!"
"There ya go! you're all fired up for this! Leeeeeeeeeeet's start!" Takao grins. "Bring me... a pair of glasses!"
Upon hearing this, Midorima quickly hides. Of all the things his boyfriend can ask. "Bakao!"
"Ahm, mister. May I borrow your glasses?" a girl of about 7 years old approaches the megane. She has black hair, much like Takao's.
"W-Who are you first?" Midorima's interaction with kids really suck bigtime.
"Uhm... I am... Shikai..." the girl says. "Midoriya Shikai."
Midorima's eyes widen at the name. Is fate really fooling with him?
"Uh, Shikai... You c-can have my glasses." Midorima removes his glasses and just sits. He cannot move around because of poor eyesight. And he personally believes that a punishment will be under way after this summer camp.
And so in that first try, Shikai wins the game. Who would know that Midorima's lucky item for today is his glasses?
"Congratulations, Shikai-chan! You can return the glasses to that stuck-up guy over there." Takao speaks and more nerves appear on the megane's forehead. Some of the players laugh, especially Shuutoku's captain.
"That's mean, Takaocchi!" Kise whines at the insult but proceeds with the game. "Anyway, are you ready kids?"
Nodding, the kids yell. And so Kise says for the kids to bring him a piece of candy. Darn, if Takao has a punishment due after this camp, Kise sure has a death wish right now.
"Atsushi, be kind to the kids, okay?" good thing Himuro is always there to stop a disaster.
"Uhm, hello." a boy of about 6 years old approaches Murasakibara. He has purple hair, short but neat.
"Hello. What is your name?" Himuro asks.
"Uhm. I am Murata Takeshi. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too. Takeshi-kun. I am Himuro Tatsuya and this guy with the candies is Murasakibara Atsushi."
"Mm! Thank you, Himuro-san and Murasakibara-san!" the child beams, and Atsushi feels a heat pooling in his heart.
"Nee, Take-chin. You want candies?" the giant asks, and Murata looks up.
"Yes, please!" and a sort of candies are handed to him. Gratitude is said and the kid runs about.
"Muro-chin, is he our kid?"
"Silly, Atsushi. It's just a coincidence. He's not our kid."
"Hm. I will adopt him when I'm older."
"Sheesh, Atsushi. What's with the fondness of Takeshi-kun?" and he is met with a smile that makes heart beat fast.
And so, the game continues with one more winner.
To be Continued...
