Shinohara Mayumi

Every time I remembered that I felt my whole face burn out of embarrassment. I was totally avoiding two certain people. My uncle and Aomine. It was just so embarrassing when he caught us in my room, cuddled up to each other.

[Flashback – a few days ago]

When I woke up, I found Aomine staring at me. He looked like a total creep, but he wore a smile. A kind one. Just seeing him smile at me like that, made my body melt into his arms. We didn't say anything to each other, just laid hugging one another.

"Mayu, I-" But someone cut him off. When that certain someone walked in through my door, I felt the whole world around us freeze. It was like only Aomine, my uncle and I were the only ones who weren't frozen.

"Aomine?! Mayumi?!" He said loudly and angrily. He probably got the wrong idea in seeing us cuddled to each other, under my blanket. Though his anger was more directed towards Aomine than me. "When I trusted Mayumi into your hands, I didn't mean that you could do whatever you wanted with her!"

"W-We didn't-… nothing h-happened!" I managed to stutter out and then pushed Aomine off the bed.

In the end, my uncle didn't believe me and kicked Aomine out of the house. He thought that Aomine and I had an intimate moment. I kept telling him that nothing happened, but he wouldn't just believe me. It was just so embarrassing.

[End of Flashback]

Since that day, I have been ignoring both of them. Every time Aomine attended class, I would run out of the room when the lesson was over. He wasn't really greeting me when he saw me, probably he felt awkward around me as well, which made it easier for me to avoid him.

I wouldn't go to the gym either, since there I would see my uncle, and probably Aomine, but that's a minimal chance. I decided to go to the library, my favorite place in the school. It's quiet, just how I like it. I decided to continue on my novel.

"Off!" I almost fell, but got caught by the waist. I opened my eyes and saw Wakamatsu, staring at me surprised. "Ah! Wakamatsu-senpai!" I exclaimed, with a smile. "Gomen!" He let go of my waits and backed away.

"A-Ah, don't w-worry about it!" He said and rubbed the back of his head. He seemed flustered. Suddenly a hand grabbed Wakamatsu by the collar and pulled him into the wall, beside us. "A-Aomine, you bastard!" The blond said and tried to remove Aomine's hands.

"Watch where you're going, baka!" Aomine yelled at him, angrily. Was he trying to protect me? I felt a little happy, but not because he pushed Wakamatsu to the wall violently, but because he was being protective over me. Aomine let him go in the end, without hitting him. "You okay?" He asked, not looking at me.

I nodded, and hoped that he saw it from the corner of his eye. "Y-You didn't have to do that to him." I managed to mumble out and started to walk towards the library. Aomine slowly followed behind.

It was an awkward silence between us. We just kept walking beside each other, not even glancing at one another. Finally we reached the library and I hoped Aomine's escort would stop now, but unfortunately he followed me in. Damn!

We went and sat at our spot. Surprisingly, Aomine didn't sit opposite of me, but instead sat beside me. Talk about more awkward. I took out my notepad and pencil and started to write down everything that came to my mind. I even added some of my complications into my novel.

I hadn't realized that Aomine was reading what I was writing, until he commented. "Wow! You're good." He said, making me blush.

"Well, if my story got even your attention that means that I am the world's number one author." I joked, earning a scowl from him. I giggled a little and continued on my writing. The air around us didn't feel as awkward as before. I didn't even realize that I had a small smile on my face while writing.

"Mayu…" Aomine said. His tone was serious and I already knew what he wanted to talk about. I felt a knot in my stomach and slightly turned my head towards him.

Aomine Daiki

She slowly turned her head towards me and had a fake smile on her face. She was nervous. "Y-Yeah?"

I took a deep breath and got a little closer to her. "You've been avoiding me now for almost a week." I said, with a straight and serious face.

She immediately turned her head to another direction. I could see her flushed face and felt guilty for making her feel so uncomfortable. What should I say? "I'm sorry." I heard her mutter under her breath. My eyes twitched a little and I grabbed her shoulders and made her turn towards me.

"You don't have to apologize. I just want to know now what we are." I said, looking desperate for her answer. "I love you."

Her eyes turned a little wider than before and she slightly bent her head down. "I don't… know what we are." She said. She sounded confused, just like I am. "I love you-"

I cut her off and pulled her in for a hug. "Then let's be together." I suggested and felt her body tense up. I tightened my grip around her, trying to make her feel safe in my arms. I wanted her to trust me. "I will never hurt you, if that's what you're afraid of."

"No! That's not why." She said and pulled me slightly away.

"Then what is it?!" I asked, a little too loudly, making the librarian glare at us. I muttered a sorry and turned back to look at Shinohara.

She just kept staring down, with sad eyes. "I'm just afraid to lose a loved one again." She whispered. I slowly hugged her again and kissed her hair.

"I'll never leave you. And you'll never leave me, right? You're mine and I am yours… Forever!" I said and gave a smile. She slightly pulled away and looked into my eyes. "No. Don't." I said and saw her eyes tear up a little bit. "How many times do I have to te-" She put a finger on my lips.

"Shhh. These are happiness tears." She said and let the tears fall. "Forever." She repeated what I said. I gave a smile and pulled her in for another hug.

We walked towards the gym, hands intertwined. "Wait, wait, wait!" Shinohara said and stopped, making me stop as well.

"What?" I asked, looking at her confused.

She chewed on her lip, looking nervous. "How are we going to tell everyone? I mean, I have been avoiding my uncle for days. And Satsuki-chan! What would she think about this?! I-I mean she is our friend and she has known you a lot longer than me. You have a special bond with her. Think if she has a friend complex?! Our friendship would get ruined then! Oh my God!" She kept panicking, which only made me laugh.

"You're hilarious." I said and kept laughing. "Don't worry. Everyone will accept our relationship and actually be happy for us." Well, everyone except that blond idiot. "Come on." I said and started to drag her with me.

I opened the doors and saw everyone training. They didn't really need it, since they had me in their team. In every match I play, we win. I could even go up against five players on my own.

Everyone's gaze turned towards us and they all stopped doing what they were doing. I felt their gazes on our intertwined hands and it slightly annoyed me. I could feel Wakamatsu's hostile look and the coach's glare, which said 'Hurt her, and you'll pay with your life'.

"Guys, we are together." I simply said, with a lazy expression.

"EH!" Everyone, except the coach, said at the same time, including Shinohara. She was surprised that I had said it out just like that.

There was a silence in the whole gym. Not even the slightest noise came.

"Finally!" I heard a feminine voice say and immediately turned to look at Momoi, who had her hands clapped together. He eyes were sparkling. "I always knew that you two had a thing for each other. Finally you're together." She exclaimed, happily and jumped up and down.

I had decided to attend the practice just for today, since Shinohara had begged me to. Now that it was over, I could finally go and spend the rest of the day with her.

"Aomine!" I heard the coach's voice from behind. I turned around to face the scowling man. "Later than 9 and you'll never see a basketball again, understood?" He said. Man he was scary sometimes. I nodded and walked away.

"Aomine-kun!" Momoi waved. She was standing beside a bench with Shinohara. When I reached them, I saw Momoi getting herself ready to leave. "I'll leave you two lovebirds alone for today. Mayumi-chan, I want everything in detail." She said and pointed towards her.

I rolled my eyes and gave a sigh. "It's not like we are going to sleep together, you kno- Itai!" I rubbed my arm. She had strong punches. "What was that for?!"

"You know what it was for." She said, with a flushed and frowned face, with her hands on her hips.

"Bye, bye!" Momoi said and rushed away, leaving us alone.

I walked towards Shinohara and put my arm around her shoulders. "So… what should we do?" I asked and thought. "You know we could just do the thing I just said." I said and smirked.

I saw her face flush and she elbowed me, hard. "Stop joking! We just got together today. I want things to go slow." She whispered the last part, but I heard it. "Aomine-kun, we could go-" I shushed her, by planting my finger on her lips.

"Don't call me that anymore. We're a couple, right?" I said and gave her a smirk, which she blushed to.

Shinohara Mayumi

Couple? It sounded weird. Aomine and I was now officially a couple.

"Call me by my first name." He said and removed his finger from my lips.

I gulped and tried to hide my blushing face. "D-D-Daiki-kun." I tested saying it. It sounded weird, since I had been calling him 'Aomine-kun' since we first started to talk to each other.

"That sounds better." He said and took ahold of my hand, intertwining his fingers with mine. He started to drag me somewhere, which I wasn't sure of where. Our walk was silent, but not uncomfortable. We heard some old women say how cute we were, which only made me smile and blush a little.

Finally we stopped and Aomine had dragged us to the park. We sat down on a bench and Aomine leaned back, putting his arms on the backrest. After a while, he put his arm around my shoulder, pulling me towards him, making me rest my head on his chest. I turned to stare at him, but he just looked away. I think I saw a little pink hue on his cheeks.

We sat like that for a while, in silence, until I spotted something far ahead. "Oh! Aomi- *caught* Daiki-kun…" I said which made him smile. "Look there! An ice-cream cart! Can we buy some, please?" I said, with puppy eyes.

He gave a smile and stood up. "Okay, but I have no money. Do you have?" He asked, smirking. That's the side I hate about him. He usually never pays for things himself. It's either me or Momoi who treats him.

I gave a sigh and dug into my bag. "Here." I said and handed him some money, enough for ice-creams. "I want a vanilla mixed with chocolate." I told him, with a smile.

He nodded and left to buy the ice-creams. I sat back down on the bench and leaned back comfortably. I still couldn't believe that Aomine and I were together. It didn't feel strange at all, in fact it felt like hanging out with Momoi.

Aomine came back after a minute with our ice-creams. He handed me mine and I thanked him and took a lick. I moaned at the taste of vanilla and chocolate. "Mmm…" I then licked the ice-cream again.

"Stop moaning." Aomine said, looking uncomfortable. I turned to look at him confused and saw his eyes narrowed, but he wore a blush on his face.

"Why, what's up?" I asked, clueless.

He stared at me from the corner of his eyes then smirked. He slightly turned his body towards me and took ahold of my chin. "You got ice-cream on the corner of your mouth. Let me wipe that away." He said and leaned closer. What he did next surprised me. He licked it away.

I gasped and my face had just probably become a red rainbow of different shades. I kept staring into Aomine's eyes, with wide eyes. He just wore a smirk on his face, which made my face warmer.

Suddenly, his eyes traveled down to my lips again, and his smirk disappeared. He slowly leaned forward, still holding my chin. His eyes slightly closed and I did the same. Then our lips touched. I felt a spark run down my spine.

His lips were soft, just like I thought. They were also warm.

I felt his grip on my chin loosen as he brought it down to my thigh and let it rest there. One of my hands was on his shoulder and the other went to rest on top of his.

*FLASH*

Both of us broke the kiss and turned to look at the direction the noise came from. We saw Momoi stand in front of us, with a camera in her hands. "Nice picture, guys!" She said, with a bright smile, and showed us the picture. "Your first kiss!" She exclaimed.

I blushed once again. How many times did I blush today?

I heard Aomine give out a low chuckle as he smirked at the picture. "Heh! I want that picture on my nightstand."

Me & Satsuki: *fangirling* KYAAAAA! THEY FINALLY KISSED!

Daiki & Mayumi: *sweat drops* Uh...?

"..."

Mayumi: Well, leave a review and I hope you liked this chapter. *blushes*

Daiki: *kisses*

Mayumi: What was that for?! *still blushes*

Daiki: Just felt like kissing you. *smirks*

Mayumi: *turns fifty shades of red*

Me & Satsuki: *still fangirling* KYAAA!
