31 Days of AoKasa

Day Seven: Shipwrecked

Aomine and Kasamatsu end up shipwrecked.

Aomine stared up at the clear blue sky. There were no clouds in sight and the sun was at its highest peak. Altogether, it was the perfect day to sail the ocean. Even the wind was blowing them in the right direction. Aomine smirked and turned from the head of the ship and thought that absolutely nothing was going to ruin such a perfect day.

The blue haired male paused when he spotted one of their newer crew members. He believed that his name was Kasamatsu Yukio. The raven haired man had his head tilted up, staring up at the wide blue sky. His hand was hovering over his eyes, shading them from the blinding sunlight. Kasamatsu also had a small frown on his face.

Aomine followed Kasamatsu's stare and was only greeted by endless blue. He furrowed his eyebrows and approached the older male. "It's nice out," Aomine commented.

Kasamatsu finally tore his eyes away from the open sky and settled his steel-blue orbs on Aomine. "For now." Kasamatsu mumbled, his frown still in place.

The dark skinned male shared his frown. "What's that supposed to mean?" He demanded, suddenly annoyed by his crew mate. Here Aomine was, enjoying such a fine day – then the shorter man had to ruin it with his small words and attitude.

Kasamatsu gave him a look that clearly read he did not care why Aomine was suddenly pissed and spoke, "I just think its going to rain, is all." The raven haired male replied. He turned away from Aomine but gave the blue haired male a glance over his shoulder, and said, "It may even storm." He said with a small smile before leaving Aomine alone.

"Tch," Aomine glared in the direction in which Kasamatsu disappeared in. He grumbled to himself and stomped in the opposite direction. The dark skinned man stopped at the head of the ship and stared into the sparkling blue ocean. His nerves were almost instantly calmed but he was still annoyed over the fact that Kasamatsu half-ruined his day with all his storm-talk. Aomine clicked his tongue once more before he decided to head into his quarters for a much needed nap.

Aomine woke with a violent start.

He was thrown from the comfort of his bed and sent crashing into some wooden boxes. He shot up onto his feet but soon fell back down when the ship thrashed to the side. "What the hell is happening?!" He shouted, still slightly out of it from being forcibly woken up and smashed around his room.

The tall man shook his head and stumbled out of his room. He was shocked by the sudden rush of cold water at his feet. The icy chill seemed to snap him from his stupor and make him realize that they had ended up in a harsh storm.

A thought popped up in the back of his head and although he hated to admit it, he thought, 'Kasamatsu was right...' Aomine sneered and as if on cue, Kasamatsu came bolting around the corner. He was soaked from the waist-down and wide eyed.

"Aomine!" Kasamatsu looked surprised to see him, "You need get off the–" The raven head never got the chance to finish his warning because he was suddenly thrust forward by the ship getting bombarded by another huge wave.

Aomine himself went flying backwards, smacking his head on a wooden post. His vision went black and the last thing he head was Kasamatsu shouting his name over the sound of rushing water.

Aomine was cold.

He felt so cold and numb but at the same time he could feel a slight warmth. Aomine was not sure what it was or where it was coming from – but it was there. And it was nice.

Apart from feeling numb, everything was dark and he could feel a slight burn in his lungs. Aomine vaguely wondered if he was dead but quickly opposed the idea when he felt a sudden warmth over his lips. Suddenly, he could breath again.

Aomine's eyes snapped open as he gasped for air. He shot up and coughed harshly, feeling liquid come dribbling out of his mouth. The blue haired male struggled to breath for a moment but he soon began to draw in steady breaths.

As the minutes ticked by, Aomine managed to calm his breathing. He turned to the side, only now noticing Kasamatsu next to him. The royal blue eyed male then realized that Kasamatsu was rubbing his back, a worried expression on his face. Aomine spoke, his voice hoarse, "What happened?" He asked, slightly confused.

Kasamatsu opened his mouth to answer his question but quickly shut it. He turned away from Aomine's gaze, avoiding his eyes. After a few moments passed he finally spoke. "The ship... It was destroyed in the storm."

"What?!" Aomine stared at the shorter male in shock. "What about the captain and everyone else?"

Kasamatsu met his gaze. "I helped some of them get off the ship with some life rafts but I'm not sure what happened to them..." He responded painfully. Aomine could still see the fear and worry in Kasamatsu's steel-blue eyes. "Aomine, you were practically dead... You got knocked unconscious on board and our ship was swallowed whole by a gigantic wave." The raven haired man looked away.

"You saved me..." Aomine muttered, thinking that Kasamatsu must have literally breathed the life back into him. "Tch. You should have just worried for yourself." He said stubbornly, trying to ignore the fact that he was a bit happy on the inside.

Kasamatsu blinked. His expression quickly turned from worry to anger and Aomine was suddenly smacked.

"Ow!" Aomine yelped.

Kasamatsu glared at Aomine. "Are you saying that you would have been fine with drowning and dying?! Well, fine – next time that you decide to be idiotically taken out by a wooden beam, I won't help you at all!" The steel-blue eyed male yelled. He turned away with his arms crossed, a small frown (which looked more like a pout to Aomine) on his face.

"Wh–" Aomine fell silent, not exactly knowing how he should respond to the smaller man. He stared with narrowed eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. "Tch. Whatever." He uttered out as he turned his head to glare at something other than Kasamatsu.

Aomine faltered, noticing that the two of them were on some sort of island. "Did you swim all the way here with me or something?" He asked incredulously.

Kasamatsu did not respond, which caused Aomine to roll his eyes. "Okay, fine," The tanned male started. "I'm sorry I got mad at you for saving my pitiful life." his words got a glare tossed at him but Aomine was just glad that Kasamatsu was not ignoring him anymore.

The shorter male sighed heavily and stood up. He wiped the sand from his pants as best he could. "We're going to need to search for food. Once we're done with that, we'll go search the island for any other survivors. Got it?"

"... Yes." Aomine replied.

"Good." Kasamatsu smirked. "Now let's go, you idiot."

I wish senpai could save me from being taken out idiotically... lol
