Hello again minna-san~ I'm sorry for the late update *bow 90 degrees* Lately I'm getting busy with another story, which originally planned to be released after this story had completed. But I couldn't hold it any longer on my mind, so I ended up published it anyway. Another long chapter this time, please enjoy. Happy reading and feel free to review :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroko no Basuke and all characters inside except for the OC characters. The plot belongs to me.

Pairing : Aomine x OC

Maybe OOC. Maybe AU.

Chapter 15 : Why did in the first place you text me yesterday

"WHY DID YOU PLAY RECKLESSLY EVEN IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T WIN THIS GAME?! WHY DID YOU PLAY UNTIL YOU LOOKED ABOUT TO FAINT LIKE THIS!"

I trembled. Never I seen Aomine-kun so angry like this. I got up slowly, using all of my strength left, and faced him.

"I just wanted to show them, that they couldn't act all high and mighty here if they want to play basketball, and I don't want to lose my pride to those kind of guys."

"But they might crush you! Look at you now! You looked so pathetic! You're so damn stupid Aoki!"

"Do you think because of whom I wait here this afternoon? I want to play with you, but you haven't come yet! It's your fault too!"

"My fault? If I didn't show up, you can go back to your home rather than fight with those bastards!"

I approached him, then punched straight to his face, "Dumbass! I did it because I want to play basketball with you, here in this court. I've waited for this since you texted me! And I don't like those bunch of idiots' plan to steal away my precious time playing basketball with you, Ahomine!" I shouted, yelled in front of his face, pouring all my anger and disappointment. He looked surprised by my sudden action, then by a second he grabbed my collar, "Aoki, damn you…,"

"I don't just want to play Aomine-kun. I'll teach you how to play the real basketball," I stared back to him, didn't want to get intimidated by his dark aura.

"Heh, what a big mouth, don't get so cocky. Teach me? What will you teach if you couldn't beat me on 1 on 1 duel?"

"I will show you, that even if I will be suffered when playing basketball against you, overwhelmed by your talent, I will still fight back with everything I have. I won't stop to fight back till I can't stand up again, or till I collapse," I slapped his hand off of my shirt, grabbed the ball, and started to dribble the ball, "now get ready, Ao-kun. I'll teach you."

Aomine just stood there with a dark expression, and less than a second he moved fast forward, attempting to steal the ball from my hand. I dodged, bounced the ball to the left side. I stretched out my left hand in attempt to grab the ball back, intended to make a fake from left to the right, but suddenly my feet lost it strength, made me bumped to the ground hard. Aomine catched the ball, and he stood beside, "You can't stand up again, I know just by looking to your condition. Now have you give up already huh?"

I bit my lip. I don't want to give up, but my feet had lost it strength completely. Yet to run and fight back, for a mere move I think I can barely make it. I looked up to see Aomine's face.

"Why did you force yourself like this? What has gotten into you Aoki?" Aomine's tone of voice softened.

"Satsuki-chan said that you rarely show up on practice. So it should be me who ask you what happen."

Aomine looked so bothered, "Tsk, that Satsuki! Why did she tell you about that. And what's with you called her Satsuki-chan? Are you dating her?"

My eyes widened, "What? You've got it wrong Ao-kun!"

"Don't try to deceive me Aoki, I know that you just like her type since you resemble Tetsu, but," Aomine pulled my arm, forced me to stand up, "I'll kill you if you dare to play with her feeling!"

I chuckled, "Are you jealous Ao-kun?"

"What?! Aoki, teme! I just don't want if later she barge into my room and sobbing all the day because of you!"

I chuckled lightly, "Okay, I got it. But I'm really not dating Satsuki-chan."

"Is that so? Then since when you call her Satsuki?"

"Well, not long time ago, we are kind of closer than before."

"Just remember what I've warned you, Aoki. And just forget about playing basketball with me today. You don't have strength left," said Aomine as he let go of his hand, causing me to fall again to the ground.

I sighed heavily. Really, I didn't know why I did all of this. My parents gonna be real mad at me in this state. I placed my fore head on my knees, trying to calm down my ragged breaths.

-Aomine's POV-

I did hate what I saw. He just so reckless. He didn't have a strong built, he didn't have a good health either. But he played basketball like his life depend on it, just to beat those bastard guys. He was so stupid, he could have let them took the court and waited me to crush them instead. And then he blabbered about teaching me basketball, because Satsuki told him that I was slacking off of the practice. Really, why did you care so much?

I saw him sat on the ground, head down to his knees. I sat beside him, and my mind started to blank, "Hey, why did you care so much if I don't practice basketball again?"

He looked up to me, and he said, "It's because I like to see you playing basketball. Your form are so beautiful, your moves are so cool. You have the talent, yet I don't have anything even though I like basketball and want to play every day so badly, but I can't. Satsuki-chan also told me, that even if you did play in the match, it seemed that you didn't take it seriously. If I happen to be your enemy, I will not accept if you take me lightly."

"Heh, you sounded like Tetsu. Really, are you sure you aren't related to him, Aoki? You don't know Aoki. I'm suffered because whenever I play seriously, they will not fight back in the end, just let me scored, no effort to stop me. You don't know how it feels Aoki. It's frustrating me! I can't have fun at all! What's the point to play basketball? So I don't wanna practice anymore." I sighed. There I told him what I felt. I didn't know why but I just feel that I want to trust him by telling what I felt.

He silenced. Then he said it with low voice, as if he whispered, "Then why did in the first place you text me yesterday, said that you wanted to play basketball with me?"

It dumbstruck me. Why? Why? I don't know. I… I just wanted to do it. I recalled, tried to find why I wanted to play with Aoki, but I couldn't find it.

"So, it's a proof Ao-kun, that deep inside your heart, you still love to play basketball. You still have fun while playing basketball, even your opponent is just me," he smiled, a warm smile, as warm as the sunset in twilight sky.

"Is… that… so?" I muttered. I weren't sure enough that's the real reason. I felt it wasn't the real reason.

"It is, Ao-kun," once again he smiled. I wondered has he smiled like this to Satsuki before. I don't want Satsuki to see him smiling like this. Just by thinking of him dating Satsuki, I felt a pang on my chest.

I slapped the thoughts. Why am I jealous to Satsuki?

"Now what should we do Ao-kun? It's to dark to play basketball now, the sun has set."

I got up, "Just go home Aoki. We can play another time." He smiled upon hearing that we will play basketball again. I crouch down in front of him, showing my back to him, "Since you can't stand up in that condition, just hold on to my shoulder."

-Aoki's POV-

Whaaaat? He intended to piggyback me? "N-no Ao-kun, just let me walk normally," I stuttered.

"Or you want me to carry you bridal style instead Aoki? No problem, we will do it till your house," said Aomine, grinned mischievously.

"Wha-whaaat? No! Let me walk…"

My line cut off when he suddenly carry me bridal style. I gasped in shock. My face blushed and getting hotter, "Let me down Ao-kun!"

"Geez, what a stubborn brat. Don't struggled otherwise you will fall!"

"Just piggyback me instead of carrying me bridal style like this Ao-kun!"

Aomine then chuckled, "Okay, I got it," he let me down. I leaned my body to his back, placed my hand on his shoulders, then he got up. I blushed, I prayed inside hoping Aomine didn't feel my heart beating so fast and he didn't feel anything weird pressed against his back. You know, though I looked like a boy but I still had my pride as a girl. I didn't want him to find out that I'm a girl because of this.

"Ne, Ao-kun," I whispered, "Thank you for walking me home." Looks like I didn't have any choice but to let him know my house. I couldn't walk and he piggyback me now.

"Hm," as his only answer to me.
