Kise let the warm water fall onto his blonde hair and trickle down his face onto his toned pale muscles. Grabbing the shampoo bottle, he began to squeeze it onto his hands before he lathered it into his hair.

He was actually looking forward to school today. He was finally starting to make some friends with a few members on the team and in class and it allowed him to feel a little more comfortable at school. It was bad enough he was a model, which tended to make it harder to make friends because people thought he was full of himself or unapproachable, but he had also started the school year late, which only made it harder to get to know everyone. Luckily though, as classes continued he was able to interact with more people, especially the other boys in his class and had gotten friendly with a few of them. He had even been invited out to hangout with a group of them, but due to his schedule he declined.

Additionally, aside from getting friendlier with his classmates, he had unexpectedly become closer to a certain power forward. He knew Aomine would never admit it but he could tell the tanned boy was slowly becoming comfortable with their friendship. The two usually spent the whole school day together, in class sitting next to one another or during practice and lunch playing basketball.

Finishing up with his shower Kise turned the water off and stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around his slim waist as he re-entered his room. Drying himself off, he dressed himself in his usual school uniform before grabbing his phone that was charging on the night stand, he headed downstairs. He quickly checked the time, knowing he was running late as is and he wasted no time in rushing around to gather his belongings for the day.

As he picked up his school and gym bag, he heard a honk of a car and Kise quickly pushed on his shoes and exited his house.

"Sorry, I hope you didn't have to wait long." Kise said as stepped into the sleek black car, taking the seat next to his manager.

"Don't worry about it." The man said from the driver's seat as he began to drive. "I know you have a lot on your plate with basketball and modelling. Running late for school, must be the least of your problems."

"Speaking of basketball..." he continued. "How is it?"

"Pretty good." Kise answered as he began to tell the older man about his team. He wasn't even aware he had been rambling until the car eventually came to a stop and he realized they were already at the front gates of the school.

"Oh, we're here already." The model said as he came to realization that he had been talking the whole car ride. Blushing a bit in embarrassment, he quickly opened the door.

"Thanks for the ride." Kise said as he started to exit the car.

"Oh, wait before you go you have another shoot tomorrow." Toma called as he took out a picture from his bag, handing it to Kise. "Here's a picture of the girl you will be doing it with."

"Again? Toma-kun?" Kise sighed as he took the picture.

He knew what the other was trying to do. Toma was trying to set him up again.

He hadn't tried in a while since Kise had just recently moved but the blonde knew it would come up again sooner or later. And in all honestly Kise had no interest in other models. He didn't want someone that was in the same industry he was working in, things would get too messy and he wasn't about to jeopardize his career because he wanted to have a good time. Scowling a bit Kise shot his manager a small glare when the man simply smiled and waved good-bye.

Slamming the limo door Kise started to head to class. As he walked through the school gates, he noticed that only a few girls approached him today. He didn't really mind it now; most of the girls had gotten used to him and realized that they probably didn't have a chance with him. But of course, there were always loyal fans that stuck with him the second he walked through those gates.

"Morning, Kise-kun!" One of the girls said as a few first-year student began to surround him.

"Morning~" he said in his usually happy voice.

"Kise-kun, I was wondering..." Someone began to say, and he turned his head to see a small black-haired girl blushing from ear to ear. He rose an eyebrow at this, but gently smiled anyway. He always thought it was adorable how girls would blush because they were shy.

"Yes?" He urged her to continue.

"Have you ever had a girlfriend?" The timid girl finally blurted out.

"Of course, he has." another girl said, almost like she was coming to his defence. "But what do you look for in a girl? What's your type?" She suddenly asked.

"Ah." Kise said as he thought about it for a bit. In truth he didn't really have a type.

"I guess I— " he started but was soon stopped as he saw a familiar navy haired. Before Kise could call out to the basketball player he stopped noticing there was someone with the boy.

"Thank you, Aomine-kun." she said as she let go of the boy's arm. Kise quickly looked away and back to the girls in front of him.

"I guess I like someone who is loyal and caring." Said smiling down at the girls. "Kind of like you, right?" he said as he watched the girl blush.

"Y-yes." she stuttered as she tried to cover her red face. Laughing a bit Kise smiled and continued to talk with the girls as they headed to class, failing to notice the heated glare coming from Aomine.

Kise watched as Aomine arrived just before class started. The tanned boy took a seat and rested his head on the wooden desk in front of him.

"Morning." The blonde said as he smiled at the tanned boy. Aomine grunted in response as he tried to fall asleep.

"Maybe you should go to bed earlier at night Aomine-cchi." Kise said as he got up and placed a hand onto the others forehead. Taking his hand off he noticed a small mark on Aomine's neck that was barely visible with Aomine's darker skin.

"Is that a—"

"Okay class take your seats." the teacher said, causing Kise to take his seat. The rest of the morning was the same as usual, not that Kise paid much attention to what they were learning. On Aomine's neck was a small mark and it wasn't hard to guess what it was, a hickey.

Kise tried to tell himself it wasn't a big deal, Aomine could do whatever he wanted with whomever he wanted but he couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. It wasn't just because of the small mark on his neck or that he arrived this morning with that girl hanging all over him, no. Kise knew Aomine would hook up with different girls around school, what upset him that Aomine wasn't exactly discrete about it.

He had seen Aomine with a few different girls around school, after school before practice or in the mornings before class. Not that Kise had actually seen anything, but he could only guess what would happen if the two had a bit more privacy.

"Oi, Kise." he heard suddenly. The blonde snapped out of his earlier thoughts and looked up to see Aomine leaning on his own desk looking down at him.

"What are you doing? The bell already rang, you idiot." he said and Kise smiled before he pouted and acted like he was hurt.

"Mou, Aomine-cchi you don't have to be so mean." he said as he got up from his seat. As he did a small piece of paper fell out from his pocket. Bending down Aomine picked it up and looked at it for a few moments before handing back to Kise. Kise looked down at the paper to see what it was and realized it had been the picture of the girl Toma had given to him earlier.

"Thanks." Kise said " She's a girl I'm going to be working with soon, my manager gave me a picture of her." he tried to explain, almost like he was trying to justify himself.

"Tch, whatever." Aomine said as he walked out of the class, Kise following close behind. He wasn't sure if the boy was mad or jealous, but before Kise could ask they were interrupted.

"Ah, Aomine- kun!" someone said and the two turned to see the girl who was with Aomine this morning. "I was looking for you everywhere." she said as she clung onto the tanned boy's arm.

"Kise, go buy lunch and I'll meet you on the roof." he said as the girl leaned up and pulled Aomine down to whisper something in his ear.

"Sure." Kise said as he walked off to buy said lunch.

When Kise arrived on the roof he half expected to see no one there but was pleasantly surprised to see Aomine leaning against the wall.

"Where's the girl?" the blonde asked as he walked over and sat down next to the navy haired. Kise looked over to see a cocky smirk plastered on the other boy's face.

"Why do you want to know? Are you interested in her?" he said teasing the blonde.

"As if, that's not what I meant." Kise said "Just wondering where she went, why doesn't she join us during lunch?"

"Why would she?" he said wondering where the blonde was going with this.

"Well she is your girlfriend, right?" Kise asked, wondering how Aomine would respond. He wondered if the power forward considered the girl as his girlfriend.

"Misa?" Aomine said laughing. "No, definitely not."

"Then who is she to you?" Kise said finally grabbing the bag he had placed down and taking out a sandwich.

"A friend." he said back after a few seconds of thought.

"Just a friend?" Kise inquired, knowing there was something more to their relationship than that. "So, you guys aren't…"

"Aren't what?" Aomine probed, raising a questioning eyebrow as he watched Kise.

"More than that?"

"You mean if we're fucking?" Aomine asked, before he let out a laugh. "Don't be shy about it, pretty boy. I'm sure you've had your fair share of friends like that."

It was silent for a moment as Kise heard the words before Aomine spoke up again.

"Why are you asking anyways?"

"Just wondering. Aomine-cchi." The blonde answered. "We're friends, I should at least know if you have a girlfriend, right? " Kise explained and started to eat his sandwich.

The rest of the afternoon went by pretty fast and soon it was the end of the day. Practice, as well went by pretty fast. Usually they would have a small scrimmage game with the first strings. Most of the time Kise and Aomine would be on different teams and every time Aomine's team would win, but Kise didn't mind much. He was just glad that he was playing against someone so strong.

"Good game." one of the first strings said as they headed to the changing rooms. Pushing the doors opening to the changing room Kise smiled and responded back, "Yeah, you too."

As Kise began to change he looked around to see Aomine was missing. He guessed the boy was already changed and waiting by his locker, so he quickly finished and bided his other teammate good-bye. Walking down the hall Kise noticed a pair of people at the end of the hall. As he got closer, he soon made out who the two were.

Aomine and that Misa girl.

But more importantly was what they were doing. Aomine had the girl pushed up against the wall, one hand on her waist and the other against the wall. The girl's arms were wrapped around his neck and the two were locked in a kiss. As Kise walked past the two he tried to ignore them, but he could hear her moans echo through the empty hallway. The two seemed too engrossed in their make out session to even notice the blonde, and Kise was glad. It hurt but Kise only spared one glance before he headed out of the school.

He remembered back to what he thought the day before.

I could fall in love with someone like this.

Who was he kidding, he had already fallen hard. And for a complete asshole.
