You got into position as the ball headed in your direction. You wanted to get the right timing; the perfect timing. You jump into the air, raise your hand and spike the ball with all your strength over the net. The audience is in an uproar as the ball whizzed over the net onto your opponent's side. Your opponents scramble to catch the ball before it reaches the ground, but it was too fast for them. The ball goes between two players and hits the ground and the whistle blows. The audience stands to their feet and cheers. You scored the winning point. Your teammates cheer and huddle around you, lifting you up off the ground and singing praises to your name. You laugh and cry of happiness. You were so overwhelmed with emotions that you couldn't help but cry. As your teammates let you down, they hugged you and comforted you. They were like your second family, these girls. As the announcer made the final announcement about who won, your team lined up in front of the other team and bowed in unison. It was a great game.


The audience started to clear out of the gymnasium and the hype started to die down. As your teammates chatted with some of their friends and others went to the locker room, you scanned the audience for someone familiar. You smiled, spotting him immediately as he walked towards you, that smug grin on his face. You shake your head and run towards him, and kiss him. Your teammates cooed and cheered at the two of you. Aomine hugged you tightly as he kissed cheek. You turned towards your teammates and stuck out your tongue at them. Aomine turned your head towards him and kissed you again, yet this one was longer and more passionate. As you parted, a blush dusted your cheeks. "The volleyball team ain't that bad," he commented, rubbing your back. You giggle, taking his hands and laced your fingers with his own. You tip toe and peck him on the lips. "I told you, we kick ass, man," you reply. Your teammates call out to you, letting you know they were going to get changed. You called back to them that you were coming and gave Aomine a quick kiss before running off after them. "Hurry up!" You hear Aomine call after you. You look back at him and smile while going through the doors to the locker room.

Aomine shoved his hands in his pockets and walked towards to the exit of the gymnasium. He was startled when the door opened and of course it was Kagami that walked through. Aomine scowled and stopped in his tracks. Kagami glared at him as he walked through the door, closing it behind him.

"Aomine."

"Kagami."

The two stared at one another. The tension in the atmosphere was so thick; it felt like at any moment a fight could break out again. But considering what happened last time, they really didn't want to make you angry again. Kagami balled his fists as he walked closer to Aomine, closing the distance by a few meters. "Aomine. Do you really like, [Name]?" Aomine blinked at him, his frown deepening. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Kagami sighed, raising his hand to his forehead, pinching his eyebrows. "[Name] is an important person to me. If she's happy being with you, that's one thing. But it doesn't change the fact that I don't like you and I don't trust you," Kagami explained. He let his arm fall back down to his side and put his other hand in his pocket. Aomine scoffed. "And why should what you think of me matter?" Kagami glared at him, his patience really running out. He walked closer and jabbed his finger into Aomine's shoulder, causing the bluenette to move a step back. "Because, if you ever make her cry, I'm going to kill you," Kagami threatened, venom dripping from each word. Aomine slapped Kagami's hand away from him, his glare matching the others. "Our relationship has nothing to do with you Taiga. She's important to me too," Aomine stated. Kagami blinked at him, surprised at his sudden confession. It made him ticked off. He was ticked off by the whole situation. Kagami really expected to you to at least date someone more noble. Maybe even him… But it didn't happen that way and he decided to support you because being your friend was much more important than being selfish.

The two were startled as the doors to the locker room opened and you came out with your duffel bag, feeling refreshed. You stop for a second as you spot Kagami and Aomine together. You mentally sweat dropped and walked over to the two, one hand on your hip. "What's this about~?" You question the two. They didn't look guilty, but they couldn't look you in the eye. Aomine looked embarrassed and Kagami was nervous about something. You pout, hoping to hear an answer, but knowing the two of them, you knew you weren't going to get an answer out of them. Kagami was the first to break the silence. He smiled and pulled you into a hug, which ticked Aomine off instantly. "Congratulations, [Name]. You were really awesome out there today," he congratulated you. You hug him back and thanked him. As the two of you pulled apart, Aomine tugged your arm towards him, pulling you to his side, a hand resting on your waist. Kagami and Aomine exchanged glances, a flicker of hatred in their eyes. You sighed while grabbing both of their hands. "Let's get out of here already, okay you two? I'm hungry," you suggest as you pull them towards the door.
