You groan in disgust as you and Aomine walked up to his choice to eat something. He shot you a look. "Hey, I asked you if you wanted to eat somewhere and you couldn't decide, so," he said with a scoff. You roll your eyes and open the door to Maji Burger, a fast food restaurant Aomine suggested that apparently was his favorite place to eat. As the both of you walk up to the counter, you cross your arms in annoyance. "You're supposed to be a star athlete. Are you sure you should be eating this crap?" Aomine rolled his eyes this time. "Doesn't really matter to me; I don't even gain weight," he replied. You shoot him a dirty look, instantly jealous of him. Of course with good looks and raw talent, he just also had to have a fast metabolism too? You blow a strand of hair out of your face. It was your turn to order, but looking at the menu, you suddenly lose your appetite. You promised your mom and Kirumi you'd never touch fast food again, ever since that incident , and you were going to stick to at least this promise. You order a small salad and a cup of water and Aomine ordered a mountain of burgers. As you both grabbed your food, you spotted a table near the back, away from most of the customers and slide in the booth. Aomine sets down his tray right across from yours and takes a seat. He takes a second to look down at your food and shakes his head. You glare at him while taking out your utensils to begin eating.
"What is it?" Aomine looked at you right in the eye while unwrapping one of his burgers. "You eat like a rabbit. Aren't you starving yourself, eating stuff like that?" You stick your tongue out at him as you start to put on your salad dressing. You place the packet of croutons to the side and mix your salad so the dressing gets around evenly. "I'm not good with junk food. It makes me sick and besides, it's really bad for you. The way you eat, you'll get a heart attack before you turn 20!" You explain, pointing at his mountain of cholesterol. Aomine shrugged as he took the last bite of his first burger. "I didn't even know they sold salads here…" He mumbled as he began to unwrap his second burger. You smile as you continued eating your salad.
Some time passed by as the two of ate your food, exchanging a few words of conversation. You suddenly remember something as you were taking a few sips of your water. "Oh, yeah. Aomine?" "Hmm?" He grumbled as he sipped his own drink. "That girl I saw during the game… who is she? The pretty girl with long hair?" You look up at him expectedly. Aomine eyes drawl over to yours in a lazy manner. "Girl with long hair? Ah, you must mean Satsuki."
"S-Satsuki..?" You mumble her name looking away from him to the window. "Yeah, she's the manager of the team," he continued to explain. You look at him again, your eyes widening in shock. "M-Manager? Her? Seriously?" Aomine watches you carefully, his eyebrow raised. "Yeah? What of it?" You zip your mouth shut and continue to sip your drink. To think that such a pretty girl was the manager of your high school basketball team. Since you know how good the team is, you also have to acknowledge that she is really good at her job. This makes you a bit depressed. Satsuki must know a lot about the game and must know Aomine pretty well too…
You purse your lips in annoyance. 'Why the hell should I care if she knows a lot about Aomine? What if they're dating? It's none of my business…' You close your eyes and sigh, finally feeling the days events catching up to you, making you feel exhausted. "We're not dating, you know," Aomine says while staring at you, one hand resting on the table, his head on his hand. You look up at him, your eyes widened, a slight blush staining your cheeks. "H-Huh? Why would I care about that?" Aomine simply smiled at you which made you shiver. It wasn't one of his sly, smart ass smiles, it was… genuine. You didn't know what to make of it. You look away immediately, your blush growing as the seconds pass by. The grip on your cup tightens as you feel more and more embarrassed.
'Why am I getting so embarrassed? What the heck would he tell me something like that?' All these questions started racing through your mind. Nothing but questions that you couldn't possibly process at the same time. Your heart was racing a beat per second. You felt at any moment it would burst through your chest. You could hear Aomine shifting in his seat and suddenly his hand was on top of yours, making your whole body cover in goosebumps. "[Name], look at me," he whispered. You slowly look up and your eyes meet. His eyes were just as intense as the first time you met on the roof top. It was such a beautiful color of blue, you could question if they were the real color of his eyes or not. You felt like you were melting. You were going to melt in your seat and poor old Aomine would have to scoop you up into a cup and take you home. Your body felt hot and you could swear the temperature of the restaurant was at the same level as hell itself. Aomine started to slowly lean in towards and you couldn't help but to lean in as well. It was like a magnetic force was drawing you in. Those eyes and those plump lips that were just tempting and terrorizing you at the same time.
"[Name]?" You wake up from your trance and look up, instantly recognizing that familiar voice. Your draw drops in surprise and you quickly retract your hand and start to babble in embarrassment.
"…T-Taiga-chan!?"
