The weekend went by fast, too fast if you asked Kise. But luckily Kise had been able to forget about the incident on Friday relatively easily. He had a lot of homework to catch up on as well as a few photo shoots, which kept him busy throughout the weekend. But now it was Monday which meant school and more importantly him.

Rolling up to the school the blonde exited the expensive black car and was once again greeted with a group of fan girls. They surrounded him as usual, wishing him good morning and attempting to make small talk as Kise tried to make his way to class. He humored them on his walk to class before bidding them a farewell as he stepped into the room, relieved he could finally get some space. As he stood by the doorway, he let his eyes scan over the room until he spotted a mop of dark blue hair resting on the desk next to his. As Kise approached his desk he glanced over to see the teen peacefully sleeping on his desk, arms supporting his head as he rested. Slipping into his seat, Kise took out his notebook and silently looked over his notes, ignoring just how peaceful Aomine seemed next to him. If the model didn't know better, he would've found the other almost approachable?

Soon the bell rang, and surprisingly Aomine hadn't awoken by the loud noise. Kise wasn't sure if he should be relived or annoyed about it. Eventually the teacher started the lesson and he forgot about his previous thoughts.

Sometime during second period Aomine was awoken by their history teacher. The man had slammed the meter stick he was holding on the teacher's desk and yelled across the class room at him. Slowly but surely Aomine woke up from the noise and rubbed his sleepy eyes. Kise had to admit the scene was somewhat cute, how he looked so innocent waking up, though, it didn't last long when the teacher continued to yell.

"Aomine, I will not tolerate you sleeping in my class." the teacher said as glared at the basketball player. The blonde thought for sure the boy would get a detention, but somehow Aomine talked his way out of one.

Sly bastard. Although Kise probably would've done the same thing if he was in that position. There was no time for him to get detention, not when he had practice, school and modelling to worry about, but then again, the blonde doubted he would be stupid enough to sleep in class in the first place.

Lunch eventually rolled around after several hours of listening to the teacher drown, and Kise was happy to get up before Aomine—

"Kise." he heard a husky voice say as he reached the door way of the class. Turning around slowly the blonde smiled.

"Is there something you need, Aomine-kun." he asked knowing his plan of escaping had failed.

Before the navy haired could say anything though a girl burst through the doorway Kise was standing in, pushing him out of the way as she approached the tanned boy. As she reached his desk, she latched onto one of his arms, and began speaking.

Kise couldn't really hear what the two were saying but he did notice how the girl leaned closer to the tanned boy and how Aomine placed an arm around her waist as she did so. The blonde tried not to stare at the pair, but he couldn't help but be a bit annoyed. The girl was small but cute with wavy hair that fell to her shoulders and quite prominently huge breasts. Just Aomine's type.

As Kise looked away from the scene, feeling as if he was intruding on something personal, he missed as Aomine released the girl and headed over toward him. It was only until the tanned boy was in front of him did he snap out of his thoughts. He watched silently as the teen fished through his uniform pockets before he pulled out a few hundred yen and tossed it to him. Catching them Kise knew what Aomine wanted him to do, go buy him lunch.

"I'll be on the roof." Aomine said as he passed him and exited the room without another word.

Kise resisted the urge to protest, knowing it wouldn't get him anywhere as he headed to the cafeteria a few seconds later to buy the lunch. For the most part, everything seemed fine, Aomine was treating him normally, well, as normal as the other could manage. But Kise wasn't sure how to take it, was that a good or bad thing? Did Aomine want to forget about the kiss, or was he not saying anything because he actually cared? Kise highly doubted the latter option; of course, Aomine didn't care about their relationship. If he had, he wouldn't be such an ass all the time.

As he finished buying Aomine's lunch, he pulled out some more money to buy himself lunch as well, since he hadn't had time to make lunch that morning. When he was finished buying the two lunches he headed towards the roof, feeling an odd sense of nerves wash over him. Once he had reached the top of the stairs, he pushed the door open to be greeted with a sweaty Aomine dunking a basketball into the old basket. The navy haired hung on the rim for a few seconds before he let go and landed on his two feet, panting lightly to catch his breath.

The boy was still wearing his school uniform, which consisted of a button up shirt, a sweater and some black pants, but had taken off the sweater and rolled up the sleeves of the white button up. Wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead Aomine walked towards the blonde.

"Want to play?" The teen asked. The simple question surprised Kise. Play with Aomine? He remembered back to his defeat on Friday. How he had been at awe at Aomine's skill. How he had wanted to play him again after the loss. How he had wanted to experience the thrill of going up against some that, even if he went all out, it still wouldn't guarantee he would win.

That was why when Kise heard the question a small smile graced his face as he stepped forward.

"Sure." He said as he loosened his tie and pulled it off along with his uniform jacket. Placing the two lunches down Kise walked towards the court.

"Bring it."

The two sat against the wall of the roof, slightly out of breath. Their short one-on-one was over, and the game had gone the way both of them expected. Aomine had crushed Kise, but despite losing Kise was smiling. Aomine might be asshole but one thing Kise couldn't say was that the boy wasn't good at basketball. Aomine was probably one of the best players he had ever played.

He turned his head to the navy haired and watched him unwrap the lunch he had bought, before deciding to unwrap his own. The two ate in silence and despite it being quiet it wasn't awkward. Instead, a comfortable air had fallen between them as Kise enjoyed the nice weather the spring day had to offer. But unfortunately, as he began to relax his mind started to wonder again and he couldn't help but continue to wonder why Aomine hadn't brought up anything about Friday night. Did Aomine think that little of it that it wasn't worth mentioning?

No, it's best to drop it. There was no point in dwelling on something that had probably been a whim. Because it had been, a whim, hadn't it?

"Oi." Kise heard and snapped out of the thought as he turned to see Aomine staring at him.

"What the fuck are you thinking about?"

"Ah, it—it's nothing." he said trying not to sound as flustered as he was. The blonde watched Aomine simply smirk and go back to eating his lunch.

"So, when did you start playing basketball?" Kise asked, as he focused his attention onto the lunch in front of him.

"Since I was a kid." Aomine said. "Satsuki and I always used to go to a park near our houses and play street ball with the teenagers there."

Kise looked up to see a faint smile on the boy's lips before it was replaced by a mask of indifference and as he opened his mouth to ask another question the telltale chime of the school bell rang, effectively stopping him.

"I guess we should head back." Kise said almost regretfully, before he stood and the two headed back down to the class.

The next two days went by pretty fast with Kise slowly becoming more comfortable with the navy haired teen, and although they weren't the best of friend, he had to admit Aomine wasn't that bad.

Maybe it was because he had begun to admire the other teen somewhat with how talented he was as they played a quick one-on-one before they ate their lunches. If Kise was being honest he could only hope to be as good as Aomine one day. The way the other moved down the court, so effortlessly, as if it was second nature to him was a sight to be seen.

Their relationship had gotten better and Kise was happy to see the navy haired open up. He had actually found out quite a bit about the boy during their little conversations, despite Aomine not being a social person.

The tanned boy used to attend a middle school called Teikou where he had played on the basketball team there as a power forward. The only thing that bothered him was that Aomine hadn't said anything about the kiss.

"Oi, Kise hurry up." he heard Aomine say as the navy haired waited for him to finish packing his notebooks into his bag. It was already Wednesday and the two were heading to practice.

Grabbing his bag Kise and Aomine made their way to the gym for practice. Quickly changing into their basketball short the two joined the rest of the team.

"Okay, everyone." Satsuki started.

"I would like to make an announcement." She said and then turned her gaze towards Kise.

"I would like to welcome a new addition to our first-string team." She said as she held up a uniform.

"Kise-kun." she gestured to the boy and Kise looked at her, shocked for a few seconds before he made his way to retrieve the black uniform.

"Welcome to the team." she said as his teammates clapped and congratulated him.

"Thank you, everyone." he said smiling widely as the boys crowded around him. Kise looked up to see a small smile grace Aomine face; he quickly looked away before the two could make eye contact.

Despite Aomine not congratulating him personally, he could tell the boy was happy for him. Shortly after, practice started, and the team began their daily training.

"Good practice today." Kise heard Sakurai say as they finally finished changing.

The changing room was already half empty when the blonde had finished changing. He had notice Aomine leave a couple of minutes ago and guess the boy was probably walking home already. Saying good bye to his remaining teammates Kise exited the changing room and started to head to his locker. Turning the corner Kise noticed someone standing next to his locker. Upon getting closer he notices who it was, Aomine. Kise was a bit surprised as to why the navy haired was there.

"Finally, took you long enough." Aomine said as he pushed of the locker he had been leaning on. Kise gave him a look of confusion as he opened his locker and pulled out the things he needed.

Had Aomine been waiting for him?

"Hurry up, it's getting dark outside." Aomine said as Kise finished up at his locker.

"Okay, Aomine-cchi." Kise said with a faint smile on his lips.

"What did you call me?" Aomine asked. Kise wasn't sure if the teen was flustered or angry but he smiled wider none the less.

"You don't like it?" he asked tilting his head to the side.

"I only give nicknames to people I respect." He explained.

"Tch, it sounds stupid." Aomine said, and Kise shrunk back a little as he waited for the other to tell him to not call him by that nickname. "But if it will make you hurry up then I don't really care." Aomine finished.

Aomine didn't see the small smile that graced Kise's face as he ran to catch up to the taller boy. The blonde knew it was Aomine's way of telling him he accepted the nickname.

I could fall in love with someone like this. Kise thought as they made their way home.
