Heyy!! I know how u write the reaction series?? I realllllly love them (just kinda sad how u write so much more for Midorima than the rest ☹️). I just wanted to request a few prompts! One about getting a pet with all of them individually, being in poly relationships with them, studying with them, showering, cooking, maybe playing basketball?
Heyyy my love I'm so happy you loved them!!! I am soso sorry about the fact I write for midorima a lot omg. Midorima is one of the characters I base my ideas onn so it's easier to write for him. But no worries my love I've heard you and I tried writing a lot more for the characters! I used one of your lovely ideas (studying with them) and I really hope you like it! I'll get to the rest eventually when I think of something!!! I'm so sorry for the long wait

Shintaro Midorima:
When you’d asked Midorima for help with one homework problem you hadn’t quite expected to still be sitting at your desk two hours later. It had started calm and innocent.
You’d wandered into the living room, textbook tucked beneath your arm, only to find your boyfriend reviewing a stack of medical texts with his glasses sitting straightly on his nose.
“Shin?”
Without looking up from the page, he hummed in acknowledgment.
“I need help with one question.” He then turned to look at you. Very straightforwardly he asked.
“One?”
You nodded with an eager smile. Happy to finally be finished with this. Your boyfriend was too level smart, so this should take no time. He closed the journal, carefully marking his place before gesturing toward the seat across from him.
“Show me.”
You the textbook across the table and sat besides him. You pointed to the problem that had been tormenting you for the better part of an hour.
“I don’t get this.”
Midorima studied the page in silence.
Then he looked at you.
“Have you reviewed the chapter?”
A nervous smile like you'd been caught doing something you weren't supposed to appeared on your face.
"Uhh maybe.."
“That was not the question.”
You let out an awkward laugh.
“I skimmed it.”
He adjusted his glasses before calmly pushing the textbook back toward you.
“Read page one hundred and forty two.”
“Like..right now?”
“Yes.”
“I thought you were gonna explain it.”
“I intend to.” His expression remained perfectly composed.
“But if I explain the answer before you’ve understood the concept, you will only memorize the solution.”
You frowned.
“Isn’t that the point?”
He shook his head.
“It is not.”
With a defeated sigh, you opened the textbook and began reading.
Five minutes later, Midorima looked up from his notes.
“What is the definition?”
You blinked.
“Definition?”
“The one you have just read.”
You looked back at the page.
“I don’t remember.”
“I thought as much.”
You pouted.
“This is why Takao never asks you for anything study related..."
He chose to ignore that comment.
The next thirty minutes were spent going over the chapter from the very beginning.
Every time you made a mistake, Midorima didn’t correct it immediately.
Instead, he’d simply ask another question.
“Why did you choose that equation?”
“I don’t know.”
“Then try again.”
Or
“Read the question once more.”
“It still doesn’t make sense.”
“Then read it a third time.”
Little by little, the pieces began falling into place. Not because he gave you the answers. Instead it was because he somehow always knew the exact question that would lead you to them.
By the time you solved the original problem on your own, you couldn’t hide the grin spreading across your face.
“I got it!”
Midorima looked over your work, his eyes scanning each step with practiced precision.
“Correct. You've succeeded in finding the answer."
You beamed with excitement.
“I knew I could do it.”
He adjusted his glasses.
"Thank you so much Shin." You said as you kissed him on his cheek, causing the man's face to redden.
"By the way. I have way more problems you could help me with."
For the first time, he smiled.
"Gather them. I have time."

Daiki Aomine:
Satsuki Momoi had officially given up.
For the past hour, she’d done everything she could think of to help Aomine. She’d rewritten the equations, drawn diagrams, made color coded notes.
She’d even bribed Aomine with hamburgers.
Absolutely futile.
“Dai-Chan!.” She yelled.
“Hm?”
“Are you even listening?”
Aomine, who'd managed to balance his chair on their two legs for the past ten minutes, lazily glanced up from the ceiling.
“Kinda.”
Momoi's eye twitched.
“You’ve been staring at the fan.”
“Cause it’s more interesting than your blabbering Satsuki." She pouted in annoyance.
“It’s a fan.”
“And it spins.” Aomine added.
She inhaled slowly then exhaled.
“I’m going to lose my mind.”
With one final glare directed toward the Aomine, she snatched her phone off the table.
“There is one person left.”
Aomine finally looked interested.
“And who's that?”
“The only person I’ve ever seen you willingly listen to.”
He frowned.
“You're seriously not talking about my girl are yo-Satsuki!"
Your apartment was unusually quiet.
Stacks of journals and highlighted lecture notes covered nearly every inch of your dining table, evidence of the exam season that had consumed most of your life over the past several weeks.
You’d barely finished reviewing one chapter when your phone rang.
Momoi.
You answered almost immediately.
“Hey Satsuki. Everything alright?”
The urgency in her voice can be heard with her words.
"Please help me.”
You blinked.
“What's wrong?!"
You said, you heard Aomine protesting in the background, so you figured it had something to do with him.
“I’ve been trying to teach Daiki algebra for an hour.”
"And?” You questioned
“I don’t even think he knows I’m in the room.”
A small laugh escaped you.
“I’m serious!” She exclaimed.
“I know.”
“He just keeps looking everywhere except the paper.”
You smiled to yourself, already able to picture the scene.
“I’ve tried everything.”
There was a brief pause before Momoi sighed dramatically.
“…You’re my last hope.”
You glanced down at the mountain of college assignments waiting for you and at the clock.
You still had plenty left to finish yet you couldn’t bring yourself to refuse.
“Alright."
Relief practically exploded through the speaker.
“Really?!” She asked happily.
“I’ll come by.”
“You are literally saving my life.”
You laughed softly before ending the call.
Gathering your notebooks into your bag, you quietly muttered to yourself,
“I wonder how badly this is going.”
When you arrived at the gymnasium nearly thirty minutes later…
The answer became immediately apparent.
Satsuki sat with her head resting against the desk, looking as though she’d aged several years. Across from her, Aomine was absentmindedly spinning a pencil between his fingers, looking completely unbothered.
The moment he noticed you standing in the doorway. his entire posture changed.
“Hey babe.”
His lazy grin appeared almost instantly.
“I heard someone was struggling.”
He rubbed the back of his neck.
“Don’t start.”
Satsuki slowly lifted her head from the desk.
“I’ve been explaining the same problem for over an hour.”
You glanced down at the notebook and immediately knew what the problem was.
“You’re starting in the wrong place.”
Both of them looked at you.
“You’ve been teaching him how to solve it…”
You turned the notebook around before drawing a small circle around the very first line of the question.
“But he doesn’t understand what the question is asking.”
Aomine looked down at the page.
“Wait…”
You smiled.
“Let’s forget the formula for a second.”
Pulling another sheet of paper toward yourself, you drew a quick sketch instead.
“Imagine you’re playing basketball…”
Almost immediately Aomine leaned forward.
He was actually paying attention.
And within fifteen minutes, he’d solved the problem entirely on his own.
“Woah.”
Aomine looked down at his notebook before glancing back up at you.
“That actually made sense.”
Across the table, Satsuki buried her face in her hands.
“You’ve got to be kidding me.”
Aomine blinked.
“What?" He asked confused as to what she could be groaning about. He was getting the hang of it after all. Wasn't that what she wanted?
“I’ve been trying to explain that for an hour!”
You couldn’t help but laugh.
“It’s not that he can’t learn.”
You looked over at your boyfriend.
“He just doesn’t like being taught.”
Aomine shrugged, flashing that familiar lazy grin."
“Guess I only listen to my girl.”
Satsuki groaned dramatically.
“I’m never tutoring you again.”
༺═──────────────═༻
Ryouta Kise:
Your phone buzzed just as you were highlighting another paragraph in your biology textbook.
Ryo 💛: Movie tonight? I haven’t seen you all week :(
A smile tugged at your lips despite of the tiredness due to the studying.
You quickly typed back.
You: I don’t think I can…
The reply came almost instantly.
Ryo 💛: Huh? Why? ☹️
You sighed, glancing around your room. It was an absolute mess. There was multiple flash cards littered the floor, sticky notes clinging to your bedroom wall and three different textbooks sat open on your desk, each bookmarked at a different chapter.
Finals were a week away and you couldn't afford to fail.
You: there's tm to study ryoo :((
Another message.
Ryo 💛: How much is “too much?”
You couldn’t help but laugh.
You: Enough that if I leave this room, I might fail my final with the worst grade possible.
A few seconds passed.
Then your phone rang.
You answered with a puzzled smile.
"Hello?”
“Y/Ncchi!”
His cheerful voice filled the speaker immediately.
“So…” he began. “Who said we have to cancel?”
You frowned.
“What do you mean?”
He then smiled at you.
“A date’s a date, right?”
You nodded your head
“Right?”
“So let’s make it a study date!”
You blinked.
“A…study date?”
“Mhm!” he replied enthusiastically. “We’ll go to that café you like, order something to eat, study together, and then when we’re done…” He paused dramatically. “we can still call it a date.”
You couldn’t help but smile.
“Ryouta…”
“What?”
“That doesn’t really sound romantic.” He pouted.
“It does to me.”
His answer came so quickly that it caught you off guard.
“I don’t really care what we’re doing.”
There was a brief pause before he laughed softly.
“I just wanna spend time with you babe I miss youuuu.”
Your shoulders relaxed almost instantly.
The stress that had been weighing on you all day seemed just a little lighter.
“Alrightyy thenn.”
His excitement was audible.
“Really?”
“But,” you warned, “we’re actually studying.”
“I know!”
“I’m serious.”
“So am I!”
“No slacking.”
“I would never.”
“Ryo.”
“Okay,” he admitted with a sheepish laugh. “Maybe a little.”
An hour later, the two of you occupied a quiet corner table in your favorite café.
Textbooks, notebooks, flashcards, and two steaming drinks covered nearly every inch of the table. To anyone passing by, you looked less like a couple on a date and more like two students preparing for battle.
Kise rested his chin in his hand as he skimmed over a page of notes.
“You know..."he murmured after a while.
“Hm?”
“I think this is my favorite date we’ve had.”
You looked up from your notebook.
“This?”
He nodded with his pretty smile. It was so warm and effortless. And it always brightened up the room.
“You look really cute when you’re concentrating.”
Heat crept into your cheeks.
“I’m trying to study!"
“I know.”
“And you’re distracting me.”
“I know.”
“You're so stupid.”
He laughed quietly before returning to his notes without another word.
For nearly twenty minutes, neither of you spoke. The only sounds between you were the turning of pages, the scratching of pencils, and the clink of coffee cups against the table.
Every now and then, one of you would ask a question.
“What did you get for number six?”
“Did I explain this theorem right?”
“Quiz me on these terms.”
Without either of you realizing it, studying stopped feeling like a chore. It simply became another way to spend time together. Some couples went to amusement parks and some went to fancy restaurants.
But you two.
You spent the afternoon quizzing each other over coffee, stealing cookies from the same plate, and arguing over whose handwriting was worse.
And somehow it ended up being one of the best dates you’d ever had.
༺═──────────────═༻
Taiga Kagami
The original plan had been simple.
Kagami would ask you for help with one chapter of algebra, the two of you would spend an hour at the library, and he’d leave with at least a decent amount of understanding before his exam.
But of course the plan went wrong.
“Why are all of you here..?”
Your eyes slowly looked across the private study room, only to find nearly the entire Seirin basketball team occupying every available chair. Hyuga sat with a coffee in one hand and a textbook in the other, Kiyosh was causally sitting there with a bunch of snacks, ready to fuel anyone's brain, Izuki was quietly reviewing notes as though he’d actually come to study, Koganei, Kawahara, Fukuda and Furihata were whispering over a practice quiz, Mitobe sat quietly reading a book and Kuroko remained tucked into the corner with a novel resting comfortably in his hands. The only person who looked remotely uncomfortable was Kagami, who scratched awkwardly at the back of his neck as though he’d somehow forgotten to mention one very important detail.
“I only asked if you’d help me study,” he muttered.
“I can see that.” You slowly turned back toward him, one eyebrow raised. “What I don’t understand is why your entire team apparently decided this was a group activity.”
Hyuga didn’t even bother looking up from his coffee. “Extra support .”
“Extra support?” You looked at him as you folded your arms with a raised eyebrow.
“If this idiot fails his exams,” he said as he pointed his cup toward Kagami, “he doesn’t play.."
A quiet snort escaped Izuki. “Think of us as emotional support.”
“You mean academic support,” Koganei corrected
“No.” Hyuga sighed. “There’s no supporting him academically.”
Kagami clicked his tongue. “Man, screw you guys.”
Despite yourself, a small laugh escaped your lips as you slid into the chair across from him. Setting your backpack on the table, you held your hand out expectantly.
“Alright then.” You smiled. “Let me see the damage.” Kagami confidently slid his worksheet across the table as though there wasn’t a single thing wrong with it.
For one brief, hopeful moment, you genuinely believed everyone had exaggerated. Then you looked at the first page and your smile slowly disappeared.
“Taiga..."
“Hm?”
You looked back down at the paper. Then back at him. Then, without another word, you reached across the table, grabbed both of his ears, and gave them a firm twist.
“OW! HEY!”
Kagami nearly shot out of his chair, instinctively grabbing your wrists while the rest of Seirin stared in complete disbelief.
“Do you seriously have basketballs for brains?!” you exclaimed, refusing to let go. “The question very clearly said subtract, you big headed buffoon!”
“I DIDN’T SEE IT!”
Kagami yelled.
“YOU DIDN’T SEE THE BIG FAT MINUS SIGN?!”
“I don't know!? It was hiding!!"
“It was in the middle of the page!”
“It blended in!”
“The MINUS SIGN blended in?”
“It was bein sneaky!”
Around the table, complete silence settled for exactly three seconds.
Then
“She got him by the ears.”
Koganei blinked several times, sounding almost impressed.
“She really got him by the ears.”
Furihata slowly lowered his pencil.
"She hangs out a bit too much with Riko don't you think..."
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone do that and live.” Izuki rested his chin on his hand, watching the scene unfold with mild amusement.
“I’d say he’s all ears now!"
A pause.
“Or at least he was before she started stretching them.”
Hyuga let out a weary sigh.
“Shut up Izuki."
Kuroko quietly looked up from the novel resting in his hands, his expression as unreadable as ever.
“Kagami appears to be receiving the correction he neglected to give himself.”
Kiyoshi, meanwhile, simply laughed, leaning comfortably against the back of his chair.
“I was wondering how long it’d take before she did that."
“You were expecting this?!” Hyuga asked.
Kiyoshi smiled.
“Y/N and Riko do hang out a lot. What would you expect."
Across the table, Kagami finally managed to pry your hands away from his ears, rubbing them dramatically.
“You’re such a pain in my ass.”
“Oh, I’m the pain?” You pointed accusingly at his worksheet. “Taiga, you looked at a subtraction problem and thought, ‘You know what? Addition sounds better.’”
He frowned.
“When you say it like that, I sound dumb.”
“You are dumb.”
“I ain’t dumb!”
“Then explain your answer.”
Kagami opened his mouth.
Nothing came out.
“…Exactly.”
A triumphant grin spread across your face as you folded your arms.
“I rest my case.”
Kagami muttered something under his breath before slumping farther into his chair, cheeks faintly pink from equal parts embarrassment and annoyance.
“You’re lucky you’re good at explaining this stuff.” The words slipped out before he could stop them. You blinked.
A mischievous smile slowly tugged at the corners of your lips.
“Aw.”
“Don’t.” He muttered.
“You just complimented me.”
“I did not.”
“You literally did.”
“I was statin a fact.”
“Which just so happens to be a compliment.”
“Man.”
Kagami buried his face in his hands.
“I should’ve just failed.”
༺═──────────────═༻
Tetsuya Kuroko
Spring had quietly fall over Seirin.
Warm sunlight shone through the leaves of the cherry blossom trees, painting the pathways patches of light and shadow. Every so often, a gentle breeze would sweep through the branches above, carrying with it a shower of pale pink petals that flew to the ground. It was peaceful.
Perhaps that was why you always found yourself returning to the same sakura tree whenever examinations began to overwhelm you. With your back resting against its sturdy trunk, notebook on your lap and a pencil that stayed in your hand as you traced out the question you've been looking at for the past 20 minutes.
You frowned at the page.
“How does any of this make sense?”
A quiet sigh escaped your lips as you rubbed your temples. Maybe one more chapter and it will finally piece together.
You had barely convinced yourself to continue when the grass shifted softly nearby. You smiled before even looking up.
“Hey, Tetsu.”
The footsteps came to a stop.
For a brief moment, there was only silence.
Then, a small smile tugged at Kuroko’s lips.
“Good afternoon.”
He lowered himself onto the grass beside you? placing a his current novel across his lap before glancing toward the textbook on your lap.
“You seem to be having trouble.”
You let out a quiet laugh.
“What gave it away?”
“The amount of erase marks on the paper."
“Ah..."
“And the expression on your face.”
“Was it that obvious?” You asked with an awkward smile.
“It was.”
You groaned softly before letting your head fall back against the tree.
“I’ve been reading the same page for almost twenty minutes.”
Kuroko’s gaze drifted toward the highlighted paragraph.
“Geometry
“Unfortunately.”
“It is difficult.
“It's evil as well.”
A faint chuckle escaped him.
“I don’t believe textbooks are capable of malice.”
“This one is.”
“It would be an interesting exception.”
Another breeze swept through the branches overhead, causing the cherry blossoms to cascade between the two of you.
For several quiet moments, neither of you spoke.
Kuroko opened his novel and you returned to your notes.
The silence wasn’t awkward..
It was silence that only existed between two people who had spent enough time together to understand that conversation wasn’t always necessary.
Eventually, you let out another defeated sigh.
“Tetsu?”
He looked up from his book almost immediately.
“Yes?”
You hesitated for only a moment before turning your notebook toward him.
"Do you think you could explain this?”
Your voice grew a little quieter.
“I’ve been trying to understand it all morning.”
Without a word, Kuroko shifted closer. His shoulder slightly touched yours as he looked down at the page.
He studied it for a moment before gently pointing to a single sentence.
“I think.."
His voice remained as soft as ever.
“You’re making it more complicated than it needs to be.”
You blinked.
“I am?”
He nodded once.
“You skipped one step.”
“I did?”
“I believe so.”
His finger traced back to a diagram on the previous page.
“If you understand this first…”
He glanced at you.
“The rest becomes much easier.”
You found yourself watching him instead of the textbook.
The way he spoke so patiently.
The way he never made you feel embarrassed for asking questions.
The way he always seemed to explain things as though the answer had been within your reach all along.
“Y/N?”
"Yes?"
“I believe you’re looking at me.”
Your eyes widened.
“Oh!”
Heat immediately rushed to your cheeks as you quickly looked back down at your notebook.
“I-I’m sorry…”
A small smile appeared on Kuroko’s face, so subtle most people would’ve missed it.
“It’s alright.”
The tips of his own ears had turned the faintest shade of pink.
Neither of you mentioned it.
Instead, beneath the gentle shower of falling cherry blossoms, the two of you quietly returned to studying both pretending to focus on the pages in front of you, while secretly wondering if the other had noticed how fast your heart had begun to beat.
༺═──────────────═༻
Atsushi Murasakibara:
If someone wanted to find you during finals week, they never really had to search very hard. You were always hidden away in some quiet corner of the library, tucked beneath a tree with a mountain of textbooks surrounding you. The only way you'd ever leave was when the staff politely reminded you the building was about to close. Studying had long since become less of a hobby and more of a routine you couldn’t seem to break.Unfortunately you had been having a lot of problems when it came to eating.
It was never intentional. You’d tell yourself you were only going to finish one more chapter before grabbing lunch. Then that chapter would remind you of another topic you still needed to review, which led to another set of flashcards, another practice quiz, another page of notes. And before you realized it, the sun had already begun to set. By then your stomach would be growling loud enough for nearby students to hear, your neck would ache from hunching over a desk all day, and the moment you finally made it home, exhaustion would win before dinner ever had a chance.
Murasakibara had noticed that habit long before you had.
It wasn’t something you’d ever mentioned aloud, nor had he questioned you about it. He simply just noticed. Every afternoon he’d wander through campus with another bag of snacks tucked beneath his arm, only to find you sitting in the exact same position he’d seen you in hours earlier, completely absorbed in your textbooks while the untouched lunch you’d bought that morning sat forgotten beside you.
The first few times, he’d simply sighed before setting one of his snacks in front of you. Eventually, that wasn’t enough.
One afternoon he found you exactly where he’d expected in the library, surrounded by enough notebooks to occupy half the table. Your pencil moved quickly across the page, barely slowing as you highlighted another sentence. You didn’t even notice him until something cold bumped gently against your elbow. Blinking, you looked up. A strawberry milk rested beside your notebook.
Standing over you was Murasakibara, lazily chewing on a stick of Pocky and simply stated
“You forgot lunch again.”
You glanced around the library before looking back at the clock hanging on the far wall.
“Oh god I didn't even realize.."
It was already nearly four in the afternoon.
You laughed sheepishly, rubbing the back of your neck.
“I was gonna eat after I finished this chapter.."
“You always say that.”
“I mean it this time.”
“Mhm.”
He nodded as if humoring a child who’d just made a promise clearly crossing their fingers behind their backs.
“You’re still not gonna eat.”
“I will.”
“Mhm.”
“Atsushi..."
Without another word, he placed a neatly wrapped sandwich directly on top of the page you’d been reading.
You stared at it then at him.
“You blocked my notes.”
“Mhm.”
“I can’t study now.”
“Mhm.”
“Was that your plan?”
Another lazy nod.
“You need food.”
“I need to pass my finals.”
“You need both.”
The simplicity of his answer made you smile despite yourself. There wasn’t a single lecture about taking care of yourself. No dramatic speech about work life balance. It was just a reminder that eating isn't optional. You sighed as you finally reached for the sandwich.
“There. Happy?”
“Mhm.”
He looked oddly satisfied watching you take the first bite before plopping himself into the chair across from you. Pulling out an enormous bag of chips from seemingly nowhere, he opened it with a quiet crunch and began snacking while you returned to your notes.
Neither of you spoke for several minutes.
You studied while he ate. Every now and then he’d glance up, making sure you hadn’t secretly gone back to ignoring your food. When you finally closed your textbook. You stared at him as he took a nap on the desk. With a small smile. You gently got up from your seat and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek and whispered
"Thank you for caring about me."
༺═──────────────═༻
Seijuro Akashi:
The tutoring sessions gradually became a part of both of your schedules. Every Tuesday and Thursday without fail, the two of you were always seated in the same corner of the library, near the large windows where the afternoon sunlight poured over stacks of textbooks and unfinished worksheets. At first, your conversations rarely ventured beyond mathematics and chemistry. Akashi would explain a concept, you’d ask a question, and he’d ask another in return until you arrived at the answer yourself. It was efficient, exactly the way he’d intended it to be. Yet as the weeks passed, those conversations slowly drifted away from the pages in front of you. Somewhere between solving equations and reviewing practice exams, little habits began to reveal themselves. He learned the way you absentmindedly doodled little flowers in the margins of your notebook whenever you became frustrated. You learned he preferred tea over coffee because he disliked how bitter coffee tasted without sugar. He realized you apologized far too often, even for things that weren’t your fault, and you realized the intimidating student council president everyone admired possessed an incredible amount of patience whenever someone genuinely wanted to learn. No wonder so many people liked and respected him. Before either of you realized it, the tutoring sessions slowly stopped feeling like tutoring. They simply became the favorite part of your week.
“Good afternoon, Akashi!” you greeted him with a bright smile as you hurried toward the table, slightly out of breath from practically rushing there. Before you even had the chance to pull your chair out, he calmly observed, “You’ve arrived eight minutes earlier than usual.”
You froze halfway through setting your backpack down.
“Oh wow… You noticed?”
A faint smile appeared on his face.
“Of course.”
“I didn’t think you would.”
“I notice a lot of things.”
You lowered your head, pretending to organize your notebooks so he wouldn’t notice the little smile tugging at your lips.
Unfortunately for you Akashi noticed almost immediately.
It wasn’t particularly difficult to notice.
You smiled differently around him.
You laughed more easily.
Even the way your shoulders relaxed after sitting down had become something he unconsciously expected every time the two of you met. He had begun recognizing these little habits weeks ago, though he never mentioned them aloud. There was something oddly pleasant about simply observing them. You were expressive in ways he found refreshing. Every emotion found its way onto your face long before you ever voiced it, making you remarkably easy to read despite how desperately you seemed to hide your feelings.
Your crush, on the other hand, was anything but difficult to identify.
Whenever your fingers accidentally brushed against his while reaching for the same pencil, you’d immediately pull your hand back and apologize three separate times. Whenever he complimented your work, you’d become so flustered you could barely hold your pencil correctly for the next several minutes. Even now, after nearly a month of tutoring together, you still struggled to maintain eye contact for more than a few seconds before your gaze wandered somewhere toward the table.
Akashi wasn’t oblivious.
He knew.
He had known for quite some time.
There was an innocence to the way you wore your emotions. You never intended to reveal them, yet they always found a way to surface regardless. Every compliment left you flustered. Every accidental brush of your hands had you apologizing before he’d even registered the contact himself. More than once, he’d watched you completely lose your train of thought simply because he’d looked at you a moment longer than usual.
That realization amused him far more than it probably should have.
There was something charming about the way you’d convince yourself he hadn’t noticed, only to become hopelessly embarrassed whenever he acknowledged the smallest detail about you. Watching your carefully maintained composure quietly unravel had become one of his favorite parts of those afternoons.
He never intended to embarrass you.
Quite the opposite.
He simply found himself unable to resist offering the occasional remark, fully aware of the reaction it would earn. Not because he wished to make you uncomfortable, but because, in those moments when your carefully maintained composure disappeared, you became unmistakably yourself. And Akashi found that version of you very attractive.
Somewhere between the afternoons spent across a library table, unfinished worksheets, and cups of tea that had long since grown cold, the purpose of those tutoring sessions had quietly changed. He had agreed to improve your grades.
He simply hadn’t anticipated that, in the process...you would capture his heart as well.

Shintaro Midorima:
Your daughter’s cries echoed throughout the room causing your eyes fluttered open almost immediately. With a quiet sigh, you pushed the blanket aside, already accustomed to the routine. You’d barely managed to swing your legs over the side of the bed before a familiar voice stopped you.
“Where are you going?”
You looked over your shoulder to see Midorima had already opened his eyes.
His glasses rested on the nightstand beside him, so you were able to properly see the tiredness in his eyes yet he somehow looked just as composed as he did every morning before leaving for the hospital.
"The baby’s crying Shintaro. Go back to sleep.” You whispered to him. He reached for his glasses before placing them on.
“I am aware.” He responded.
“You have work in the morning.”
“So I do.” He said as he sat up.
“And you’ve barely slept.”
“I am also aware of that.”
You smiled faintly.
“Shintaro."
Before you could continue, he was already standing. He straightened the wrinkles from his sleep shirt before making his way toward the nursery.
“Remain here.”
You watched him disappear through the doorway. With a smile, you rolled your eyes. You didn't listen to his previous words and quietly following after him anyway. You chose to lean against the frame and look at how he attempted to console his daughter.
She was crying so loudly you swore she could've woken up the entire city.
Midorima carefully lifted her from the crib, supporting her head with careful hands.
“There now.”
His voice remained soft as ever.
“You were fed forty three minutes ago.”
He glanced toward the changing table.
“Your diaper was changed immediately afterward.”
A brief pause.
“There is no discernible reason for your distress.”
The crying only intensified.
Hus brows furrowed in confusion as he tried to figure out what the problem was.
He adjusted the blanket yet that didn't do anything. He checked that she wasn’t too warm and she seemed to be of the normal temperature. He gently bounced her in his arms, pacing the length of the nursery
Yet nothing seemed to have been wrong.
“Your heart rate appears normal.”
He said through the crying of his daughter
“No signs of discomfort...No fever.”
For the first time in weeks Dr. Midorima Shintaro found himself facing a problem he could not diagnose.
He looked down at the tiny infant bundled in his arms.
“You are quite the difficult patient.”
A small laugh escaped your lips.
His head turned toward the doorway.
“I thought I instructed you to remain in bed.”
“I wanted to see how my favorite doctor was doing.”
“I have encountered…a complication.”
You raised an eyebrow.
“Really now?"
He looked back down at your daughter, who seemed intent on proving every one of his observations incorrect.
“You should try.”
You stepped forward, unable to hide your smile.
“So we’re requesting a consultation?”
“I believe that would be…prudent.”
The moment you gathered your daughter into your arms, the crying began to soften.
Within seconds, the frantic sobs dissolved into quiet hiccups. Then finally the one thing necessary for a peaceful sleep was received. Silence. She nestled comfortably against your chest, letting out one tiny yawn before closing her eyes as though nothing had happened.
The room fell completely still.
You looked over at your husband.
“Looks like she just wanted her mother.”
Midorima remained silent.
His gaze shifted from your daughter to you
then back to your daughter once more.
"Remarkable.”
You couldn’t help but laugh.
“That’s all you’ve got?” You said as you nudged him, gently placing her back in her crib.
“I accounted for every physiological variable.” He adjusted his glasses.
“Yet I failed to consider the simplest possibility.”
“And what’s that?” He looked at you with a soft smile.
“That her preferred remedy was you.”
Midorima reached out, gently brushing a finger against your daughter’s tiny hand.
She instinctively wrapped her fingers around his.
His expression softened.
“Very well.”
He gave a small nod, as though accepting the outcome of an experiment.
“I shall revise my findings.”
The next evening, when the cries began once again, Midorima didn’t bother checking the thermometer first.
Instead, he calmly looked toward you.
“Our patient appears to be requesting her mother.”

Daiki Aomine:
The cries of your son echoed through the apartment, effectively destroying the peaceful silence of two o'clock in the morning. You let out a groan, burying your face deeper into the pillow.
Besides you, Aomine didn’t even move. The guy was asleep like a log .
“Daiki.."
Nothing.
You nudged him with your foot.
“Daiki!" You exclaimed which earned
a sleepy grunt from him as a response.
You narrowed your eyes before giving him a considerably harder kick.
“Ow! The hell was that for?!” He said leaning up using his hands to support him.
“The baby’s crying.”
Aomine glanced toward the nursery before immediately flopping back onto the mattress.
“He’ll be aight.”
You stared at him in disbelief.
“Daiki get your ass to our baby."
He groaned as he cracked one eye open.
“You carried him for nine months. I think you got this one.”
A dangerous smile spread across your face.
“Oh really?"
You sat up, stretching your leg just enough for him to notice.
“I will literally kick you hard enough to let you experience a fraction of the pain I went through bringing him into this world.”
Aomine blinked.
Then a laugh escaped him.
"Alright alright you win."
He rubbed the back of his neck, grinning.
“Feisty girl.”
Another cry echoed from the nursery.
“Aight, aight. I’m comin’.”
Still half asleep, he shuffled down the hallway, lazily scratching at the back of his head.
The moment he pushed open the nursery door, his son was still crying, tiny fists in the air as tears streamed down his cheeks.
“Yo.”
Aomine carefully scooped him into his arms.
“Cmon little man.”
Almost immediately the crying stopped.
Your son’s watery eyes blinked up at his father before a tiny hand reached up and latched onto the front of Aomine’s shirt.
“Well damn.”
A tiny yawn escaped the baby.
Then came a quiet giggle.
“You serious?” Aomine chuckled under his breath. “Your mom’s been threatenin my life for the past five minutes and all you wanted was me?”
His son answered by grabbing a fistful of his shirt and refusing to let go.
“Guess we’re cool like that, huh?”
Aomine couldn’t help but smile.
“You got good taste."
He gently bounced him against his shoulder, lazily swaying from side to side.
“Lemme tell you somethin little man.”
His voice dropped into an easy murmur.
“Your mom? She’s scary.”
A tiny giggle.
“But she’s also the toughest person you’ll ever meet.”
He smiled to himself.
“So make sure you listen to her.”
Another giggle escaped your son.
“Cause I definitely should.”
After a bit, your son finally couldn't resist sleep anymore and his tiny breaths eventually evened out against Aomine's shoulder.
"Knew you'd wear yourself out with all that yellin."
He stood there for another minute, gently patting the little boy’s back until he was certain he was asleep. Carefully, he laid him back into the crib, tucking the blanket around his tiny body.
“Sleep tight little man.”
The apartment had fallen silent once more.
When he pushed open the bedroom door, he found you curled beneath the blankets, though the way your eyes immediately met his told him you hadn’t waken up again.
“He’s out?”
“Yeah.” He said as he climbed back into bed, the mattress dipping beneath him.
A lazy smile spread across your face as you scooted a little closer, instinctively curling into his side. Without a second thought, Aomine wrapped an arm around your waist, pulling you against his chest.
The room settled into a comfortable silence.
“Thanks,” you murmured.
“Hm?”
“For getting him.”
He shrugged.
“Ain’t nothin"
After a moment, Aomine let out a quiet chuckle.
“Yknow.”
“What?”
“He reminds me of you.”
You tilted your head just enough to look at him.
“How?”
A smug grin slowly tugged at the corner of his lips.
“’Cause neither of you can resist me.”
You stared at him for exactly three seconds before bursting into laughter.
“You’re literally so stupid.”
“What?” he laughed. “I’m serious.”
“You are so full of yourself.”
“Nah.” He tightened his arm around you just a little. “Think about it.”
“Our son stops cryin the second I pick him up.”
He looked down at you with that familiar teasing smirk.
“And you? You keep crawling back into my arms.”
You rolled your eyes, though the smile on your face betrayed you.
“Maybe I should’ve let him keep crying.”
“There she is.” He chuckled, pressing a lazy kiss against your forehead. “There’s my feisty girl.”
You huffed, lightly smacking his chest.
“Go to sleep, Daiki.”
༺═──────────────═༻
Ryouta Kise:
For the first time in nearly two weeks…the apartment was quiet. Just the peaceful sound of rain tapping softly against the bedroom window. Kise let out a sigh of content as he tightened his arms around you as you slept peacefully against his chest.
“This is nice,” he mumbled sleepily.
You hummed in agreement, still half asleep.
“I think she’s finally sleeping through the ni-"
As though she hated her fathers optimism
A loud wail erupted from the nursery.
The two of you froze.
Kise slowly closed his eyes.
“I shouldn’t have finished that sentence.”
You couldn’t help but laugh as you began sitting up, only for Kise to gently guide you back down onto the pillow.
“Mm mm.”
“Ryouta…”
“I got it.”
“You sure?”
He smiled, brushing a few strands of hair behind your ear.
“Of course I am.”
You frowned.
“You’ve barely slept either.”
“I know.” He leaned down, pressing a soft kiss against your forehead. “But you’ve been taking care of her all day.”
His smile softened.
“You deserve to rest.”
You looked at him for a moment before finally relaxing back beneath the blankets.
“You’re too good to me.”
“I know.” He said as he gave you a smug smile causing you to roll your eyes.
He laughed quietly before climbing out of bed, stretching his arms above his head.
“Don’t worry.” He flashed you one of those pretty smiles that had made half the world fall in love with him. “Your amazing husband has everything under control.”
You smiled to yourself as he disappeared into the hallway.
“Good luck.”
The nursery door creaked open.
“Heyyy, princess,” Kise whispered, carefully lifting his daughter into his arms. “Daddy’s here.”
Almost instantly, her cries began to settle.
“There we go…” he cooed, gently rocking her. “See? You just wanted your favori-"
He stopped.
His smile faltered.
“Huh.”
His nose twitched. He sniffed once. Then again.
“No way..."
He slowly looked down at his daughter, who blinked up at him with the most innocent expression imaginable.
“Princess…” Another sniff.
"Come on..."
His daughter answered him with nothing more than a gummy smile, the kind that had become Kise’s greatest weakness over the past few months.
He smiled back instinctively.
“Ugh don't look at me like that. Especially after you pooped yourself."
He sighed and smiled at his baby.
“So this is what fatherhood feels like…”
Only minutes ago he’d proudly insisted that you stay in bed, assuring you that he had everything under control.
Now, he was beginning to question every life decision that had led him to this exact moment.
His first instinct was to wake you.
Surely you had handled situations like this far better than he ever could.
The thought barely lasted a second.
He shook his head to himself.
No.
You’d spent the entire day tending to your daughter, barely finding a moment to sit down, let alone rest. The least he could do was keep the promise he’d made only moments earlier.
Besides how difficult could changing one diaper really be?
That confidence vanished the moment he laid her on the changing table.
Kise had watched you do this dozens of times before. It had always looked effortless and easy in your hands but it felt entirely different when he was the one responsible.
He found himself double checking everything, terrified he’d somehow make the diaper worse instead of better. Kise was good at almost everything, yet this challenged him. Because it wasn't as if it were some ball in his hands. Rather it was his precious daughter.
His daughter, meanwhile, seemed thoroughly entertained.
She watched him with wide, curious eyes, occasionally rewarding his concentration with tiny giggles that somehow made the entire ordeal both easier and infinitely more humiliating.
By the time he’d finally managed to clean her up and fasten a fresh diaper around her waist, a triumphant smile spread across his face.
He’d actually done it.
Maybe fatherhood wasn’t as intimidating as he’d imagined.
Carefully lifting her back into his arms, he let out a relieved breath. Thankful it was all over
A familiar warmth of her diaper was felt on his forearm making his smile slowly disappear. He looked down. Then at his daughter then back at back at her diaper which was heavier.
For several long seconds, neither of them moved.
His daughter merely blinked up at him before breaking into another delighted little giggle.
Kise closed his eyes.
“You’re lucky. You are so lucky you have your mommy's pretty face."

Taiga Kagami:
The soft cries coming from the baby monitor made Kagami awake from his sleep.
He blinked at the ceiling before instinctively turning toward your side of the bed.
Right at the other end you were sound asleep. One arm tucked beneath your pillow, and your breathing was slow and peaceful for what was probably the first time all week. A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
"Finally gettin some shut eye."
Carefully, he slipped out from beneath the blankets, making sure not to wake you before quietly padding down the hallway toward the nursery.
The moment he stepped inside, his daughter’s watery eyes landed on him.
She immediately stretched her tiny arms toward the side of the crib, still sniffling between cries.
“Hey kiddo…”
Kagami rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he knelt beside the crib.
“What happened?”
She didn’t answer, of course.
Instead, she continued staring over the edge of the crib, her little lip quivering.
Following her gaze, Kagami looked down.
Her well loved pink bunny laid on the floor just beyond her reach.
“You cryin over your bunny?"
He let out a quiet chuckle.
“Alright alright."
Reaching down, he picked up the stuffed bunny. One of its ears had long since begun to flop from how often it’d been carried around the apartment.
The second it appeared in front of her, your daughter’s face lit up.
She eagerly grabbed it with both hands, hugging it tightly against her tiny chest.
The crying stopped.
“Scarin your old man over a bunny."
Kagami smiled to himself, expecting she’d settle back into bed now that she’d been reunited with her favorite toy.
Instead she looked up at him. Her hero.
Then reached both little arms toward him.
“Huh?”
A tiny, impatient whine answered him.
He laughed under his breath.
"Alright I gotcha."
Scooping her into his arms, he rested her comfortably against his shoulder as she happily cuddled both him and the pink bunny. Kagami looked over toward the bookshelf in the corner of the nursery.
“One story okay?”
His daughter blinked up at him.
“Just one. And you better not judge my reading."
Settling himself into the oversized beanbag beside the bookshelf, he grabbed the nearest picture book and opened it across his lap. “I ain’t too good at all the funny voices.”
Even so he tried.
The wolf ended up sounding exactly like the grandma. The princess somehow had the same voice as the dragon.
And halfway through the story, Kagami couldn’t even remember which character was speaking anymore.
“Man…”
He laughed quietly to himself.
“I’m really terrible at this.”
No one complained.
Your daughter had long since fallen asleep, curled comfortably against his chest with Bunny squeezed tightly between the two of them.
Kagami looked down at her sleeping face.
“Guess you didn’t mind.”
He leaned back into the beanbag, intending to close the book before putting her back into bed.
Instead…
His own eyes slowly drifted shut.
You then sometime later to an unfamiliar silence. Reaching across the bed, you frowned when you found Kagami’s side empty. Quietly making your way toward the nursery, you pushed the door open just enough to peek inside. The sight before you made your heart melt. The book rested open across Kagami’s lap.
His head had fallen back against the beanbag, mouth slightly open, completely asleep. Your daughter was tucked securely against his chest, one tiny hand gripping the front of his T-shirt while the other refused to let go of her beloved pink bunny.
Even asleep One of Kagami’s arms remained wrapped securely around her, holding her close without a second thought.
You smiled to yourself.
“Awee my two babies.”
Neither of them heard you.
They were both far too comfortable to wake.
༺═──────────────═༻
Tetsuya Kuroko:
The nursery had finally fallen silent.
Kuroko stood beside the crib for another minute, watching his son’s tiny chest rise and fall beneath the blanket. Satisfied he was asleep, he carefully tucked the blanket a little higher before quietly making his way toward the door.
“Goodnight.”
He reached the hallway.
A soft whimper broke the silence.
Gradually it began getting louder and louder.
Kuroko paused confused as to what could be the problem. He turned around and stepped back into the nursery.
Almost immediately, the crying stopped.
His son blinked up at him, eyes still glossy with tears, before letting out a tiny sigh as though nothing had happened.
Kuroko tilted his head slightly.
“I see.”
He walked back over to the crib, gently brushing a hand over the little boy’s hair.
“You were awake.”
His son smiled.
After another few minutes, Kuroko tried again. He waited until the little boy’s eyes had drifted shut before quietly walking toward the doorway. Not even two steps toward you and Kurokos shared bedroom and the crying returned.
He stopped in his tracks. But this time, instead of walking back immediately, he remained where he was.
Carefully, he leaned just enough to peek around the doorframe.
His son had pushed himself onto his back, tiny eyes fixed entirely on the entrance to the nursery.
Watching and waiting.
The moment Kuroko stepped back into view
the crying ceased.
His son’s tiny shoulders relaxed almost instantly.
“I see the problem now.”
A faint smile appeared on Kuroko’s face.
He walked back over, resting his hands lightly against the crib rail.
“You wanted to make sure I hadn’t left.”
A tiny hand reached toward him.
Without thinking, Kuroko offered a finger.
His son wrapped both hands around it immediately.
The grip was surprisingly firm for someone so small.
“You have quite a strong hold.”
Kuroko smiled. For someone who was always invisible to everyone else. And in a world where people would never notice if he arrived or if he left. His son did. And a part of that made Kurokos heart flutter with happiness. Some time later, you quietly pushed the nursery door open.
“Tetsuya?”
He looked over his shoulder.
“I’m sorry,” he said softly. “Did we wake you?”
You shook your head before walking over beside him.
“I heard him crying.”
You looked into the crib and saw that the little boy was no longer crying.
Instead, he was happily clutching one of Kuroko’s fingers as though letting go simply wasn’t an option.
“How'd you get him to go back to sleep so quick?"
Kuroko glanced back at his son.
"I believe..."
He paused for a brief moment.
“he dislikes it when I leave the room.”
You smiled.
“Really?”
As if determined to prove his father’s theory, the little boy immediately began fussing the moment Kuroko gently slipped his finger away.
Before the first tear could even fall, Kuroko placed his hand back inside the crib.
Instant silence.
The room grew still once again.
You laughed quietly into your sleeve.
“I think someone has a favorite.”
Kuroko looked down at the tiny hand wrapped around his finger.
His expression softened ever so slightly.
“I think we should consider placing the crib into our bedroom."
༺═──────────────═༻
Atsushi Murasakibara:
Sometime in the middle of the night, Murasakibara stirred. Not because of the crying. He was a very heavy sleeper so he couldn't really hear anything 9 times out of 10 when he's asleep. He stirred something small had begun persistently poking his cheek. As if it were trying to wake him.
His eyes slowly open to find his son standing beside the bed, tiny tears streaming down his face.
Murasakibara blinked once
“Hm?”
The little boy answered by rubbing his eyes before patting his own stomach with both hands.
Murasakibara stared at him for a few quiet seconds.
“Hungry?”
A tiny nod.
Another tear rolled down his son’s cheek.
“Mm.”
Without another word, Murasakibara pushed himself out of bed, scooping the little boy into one arm.
Your side of the bed remained undisturbed.
He glanced over for only a moment.
You had spent most of the day chasing after your energetic toddler, and the exhaustion was still written across your sleeping face.
“Let Mommy sleep.”
The words came little more than a sleepy murmur.
His son simply rested his head against Murasakibara's shoulder, still clutching the front of his father’s shirt.
The apartment remained quiet as they wandered into the kitchen together.
Moonlight spilled through the windows, illuminating just enough of the room for Murasakibara to move around without turning on the lights.
He knew exactly where everything was.
Opening the refrigerator, he stood there for a moment, thoughtfully examining its contents.
His son watched with equal concentration.
One small finger eventually reached past Murasakibara's shoulder, pointing insistently toward the fruit drawer.
“Good choice.”
Murasakbiara smiled faintly.
It wasn’t long before the two of them were seated on the kitchen floor, sharing a bowl of sliced strawberries and bananas.
Neither spoke much.
There wasn’t any need to.
The only sounds filling the room were tiny content hums from the little boy and the quiet clink of a spoon against the bowl every now and then.
Watching his son happily eat, Murasakbara couldn’t help but notice the resemblance.
The same sleepy expression.
The same oversized appetite.
Even the way his cheeks puffed out with every bite reminded him painfully of himself.
"You’re definitely my kid.”
His son looked up, grinning through a mouthful of strawberries before offering his father the last slice of banana.
Murasakibara accepted it without hesitation.
“You're definitely your mother's kid too..Cuz I'd never share."
༺═──────────────═༻
Seijuro Akashi:
The faint sound of the quiet sobbing made you and Akashi wake up simultaneously.
You blinked against the darkness, immediately turning toward the baby monitor on the nightstand.
“Did you hear that?”
Before you could even throw the blankets aside, Akashi was already sitting up turning on the nightlights.
“I did.”
You reached for your robe, but he gently rested a hand over yours.
“I’ll tend to her.”
“Are you sure?”
He nodded once.
“Rest for a moment my love.”
You tried to rest knowing Akashi had everything other control. But your body wouldn't allow you to. You simply just had to know why your baby was sad. By the time you entered the nursery a few minutes later, you found your daughter buried against Akashi’s shoulder, her tiny fingers clutching the fabric of his pajama shirt.
He looked up when you entered.
“I believe she had a nightmare.”
Your heart immediately softened.
“Oh, sweetheart…”
The little girl looked over at you with tear filled eyes before reaching out with her free hand. Without hesitation, you took it.
The moment both of you were beside her, the tension in her shoulders began to ease.
Akashi noticed it immediately.
“I see.” You looked at him.
“What?”
He remained silent for a brief moment before speaking.
“I don’t believe she wishes to sleep alone tonight.”
You smiled.
“I don’t think so either.”
Carefully, he carried her back to your bedroom and you followed behind him with her favorite stuffed bear.
The room remained quiet, the nightlights were dimmed and the atmosphere gave off a safe feeling. Akashi then gently pulled back the blankets and settled her in the very center of the bed.
“There.”
Your daughter looked from him to you. You smiled gently as you stepped forward with her bear. You placed it down right next to her. She immediately grabbed it and embraced it into a cuddle. She looked once more at the both of you and she made certain both of you were beside her and then she finally lie back against the pillow.
You climbed in first, gently stroking her hair.
Akashi slipped beneath the blankets on the opposite side, pulling them carefully over all three of you.
He placed his head on his hand as he watched his daughter with a smile.
“This was quite an efficient solution.”
You laughed quietly.
“That’s one way to put it.”
He met your gaze across the pillow.
“If she can see both of us when she wakes, there will be no reason for her to fear.”
Your daughter yawned, eyelids already growing heavy.
Within minutes, her breathing evened into the peaceful rhythm of sleep.
You looked over the top of her tiny head at your husband.
“I think she’s got us exactly where she wants us.”
Akashi’s eyes lingered on the sleeping little girl nestled safely between the two of you.
“Perhaps my heart.”
He gently brushed his thumb across the back of her tiny hand.
“Though I cannot say I mind.”
For the remainder of the night, neither of you moved.
Every so often your daughter would stir just enough to reassure herself.
Mama was still on one side and Papa was still on the other.
Only then would she smile in her sleep and drift peacefully back into her dreams.

Shintaro Midorima
In Midorima’s life, there was a schedule that he followed almost robotically. He woke at exactly 4:00AM, do his basic morning routine, go for his morning run, and reviewed his notes one last time. And when headed to school, he was always 30 minutes early. His evenings followed the same pattern with effortless precision. Basketball practice, club activities, volunteer work, purchasing the lucky item for the following day, and hours of studying. Every hour to him had a purpose, every action another step toward polishing his abilities. Despite the relentless pace, he considered his life tranquil. Predictable and that's how he liked it. But tranquility has a way of attracting chaos and chaos arrived with that single sheet of paper plastered across the front of the classroom. The latest exam rankings.
Midorima’s eyes narrowed behind his glasses as they instinctively searched for the name that had occupied first place for as long as he could remember. Instead, another stood above it.
Y/N.
For a brief moment, he wondered if there had been some kind of mistake. How was that even possible?
“Oh wow,” you laughed as you glanced at the rankings with one of your friends. “I wasn’t expecting that. I didn’t even try.”
Your friend's eyes widened as she also stared at the test.
“Seriously? For someone like you, that’s actually insane.” You simply shrugged with a grin before making your way into the classroom, completely unfazed by the result.
An unsettling feeling arose in him. It wasn't because you had scored well.
But that you had surpassed him.
How did that align with today’s horoscope? With probability? With logic?
It didn’t. He had devoted every waking hour to earning his place at the top. Yet someone who carried themselves with such a relaxed, undisciplined manner. Someone who appeared to approach both school and life with little urgency and someone who takes time as a joke somehow had effortlessly claimed the very position he had worked tirelessly to attain.
Until that moment, you had been little more than a classmate he occasionally acknowledged because of your hard to ignore loudness.
But now you piqued his interest.
From then on, Midorima found himself observing you more closely. To see how you've done it. You slept through lectures, left the classroom the instant the bell rang, spoke far louder than anyone else, and carried yourself with a carelessness that contradicted everything he believed a top student should be. Nothing about your habits reflected discipline.
Yet every examination after that ended the same way.
Your name remained above his.
Midorima responded the only way he knew how. He adjusted his schedule.
He studied longer, refined his routine, and devoted even more time to reclaiming the position he believed he had earned. Yet despite every adjustment, your name remained above his. Eventually, he could no longer suppress his curiosity.
Approaching your desk after class, he adjusted his glasses. "Someone with your level of discipline should not be achieving these results. What is your method?” You looked up at him confused.
"What are you talking about?"
“I fail to understand it. Your desk is in complete disarray, you sleep through lectures, and your habits lack discipline. By every observable measure, you should not be outperforming me.”
The classroom fell silent.
Whispers quickly followed.
“…Maybe she’s cheating.”
“He does have a point.”
You looked at Midorima with nothing but resentment.
Only then did he notice the eyes fixed on the two of you.
“It was never my intention to-"
You then got up out of your seat. “You spend so much time chasing first place that your mind’s become too narrow to understand people don’t all reach the same destination by walking the same path.” You said before storming out of the classroom His words caught in his throat.
For weeks afterward, an unfamiliar feeling lingered in Midorima’s mind.
Guilt. His intention had never been to humiliate you. He spent the following weeks feeling bad about the ordeal.
For weeks afterward, Midorima searched for an opportunity to apologize, yet every time he saw you, you were surrounded by classmates. The moment never seemed appropriate. That was until one evening, when he stopped by a quiet cafe intending to study and unexpectedly found you working behind the register. He remained where he was for a moment, watching as you busied yourself with customers, completely unaware of his presence. With a quiet sigh, he adjusted his glasses and made his way over.
“I wished to apologize for the other day,” he said. “The conclusion I reached was…a rather foolish interpretation.”
You glanced up from the register before letting out a small laugh. “You want to know something funny?”
He gave a slight nod.
Without a word, you reached into your work bag and pulled out several textbooks along with a stack of unfinished assignments. His gaze lingered on them longer than expected. “…You bring all of that to work?”
“I kind of have to.” You shrugged. “My shift doesn’t end until midnight, and it’s about an hour before I get home.”
“…An hour?” he repeated, his brows knitting together.
“Mhm.” You nodded. “Then I’ve got homework, and if there are chores that sadly doesn't do themselves.."
His expression hardened ever so slightly. “When do you sleep?”
“Around three in the morning.”
“…Three?”
You gave him a tired smile. “Which explains why I’m always asleep in class.”
The words settled heavily in his mind. “…So your exhaustion was never the result of negligence.... even with all of that you still manage to be someone who's always so consistently loud and unusually cheerful.
You smiled. "I'm not gonna sit there and shit on everyone's days.”
For a moment, Midorima said nothing. The image he’d constructed of you over the past several weeks quietly began to crumble.
“We’re actually pretty similar,” you continued. “We both work hard. We were just given different opportunities.”
His eyes lowered to the books still resting in your bag before returning to you. “…I understand now,” he admitted. “I judged you solely by what I observed, and in doing so overlooked everything I could not see. For that…I am sincerely sorry.”
You smiled, the tension between you easing for the first time. “So, how exactly are you planning to make it up to me?”
He answered almost immediately, as though he’d already decided. “I will accompany you home after every shift.”
You blinked in surprise. “Every day?”
“It is already midnight by the time you leave,” he replied. “Allowing you to travel alone would be unreasonable."
With a huge smile you said,
"I'd like that a lot."

Daiki Aomine
Rumors were inevitable in every high school. Some lasted only a day before disappearing, while others spread through the halls so quickly they became accepted as a fact. At Touou, where exceptional athletes seemed to emerge every year, basketball was the center of nearly every conversation. It wasn’t uncommon for students to exaggerate a player’s abilities or compare them to someone else. Most of the time, those stories were nothing more than harmless gossip. Lately, however, one particular rumor refused to die.
“Did you hear? Ever since that new girl joined, the girls basketball team has been unstoppable.” That, Aomine could believe. A single talented player could change the rhythm of an entire team.
But then came the second half.
“They could probably beat the boys basketball team.”
Now that. That was ridiculous.
The rumor spread from classroom to classroom until it eventually reached the members of the boys team themselves. Most laughed it off. Others dismissed it without another thought.
Aomine did neither.
He simply couldn’t understand where such confidence was coming from.
No matter how talented one player was, defeating him, the ace of the generation of miracles was just not possible. Nobody could defeat him. The only one who can beat him is him. And he didn't create that phrase for himself just because he was cocky and won a few games. Aomine has never tasted defeat in his whole entire life.
But still.
Rather than argue over baseless gossip, Aomine preferred a much simpler solution.
He’d see for himself.
“Yo, Y/N.”
The moment his voice reached your ears, an annoyed sigh escaped you. You didn't even have to see his face to know exactly who had decided to bother you this time. Sure enough, Aomine stood leaning lazily against the lockers with that same infuriating grin plastered across his face.
“…What do you want?” you asked flatly.
He tilted his head, looking almost amused by your tone. “Damn. You always this friendly?”
“I save this energy for you”
Instead of taking offense, he laughed. "Awe I feel honored." He said as he looked at your unamused face which screamed "get to the point."
“I’ve been hearing a lotta people talk,” he said. “They keep sayin’ your team could beat ours.”
“And somehow that's become my problem?"
“It didn’t.” His grin only widened. “But you can help me shut em up.”
You narrowed your eyes. “How?”
“My team against yours.”
For a brief moment, you simply stared at him.
“So that’s why you’re here.”
“Course.” He said with that ever so obnoxiously wide grin.
You folded your arms across your chest, studying the confidence written all over his face.
“…And what exactly do I get if we win?”
“If?” Aomine let out another laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. “You’ve got guts.”
“I asked you a question.”
He took a step closer before flashing that same cocky grin you’d grown to despise.
“You ain’t gonna need a prize.”
“And why’s that?”
“‘Cause you’re not gonna win.”
Before you had the chance to throw another remark his way, he had already started walking down the hallway, lazily raising a hand in farewell.
“See ya on the court.”
You watched him disappear around the corner before clicking your tongue in annoyance.
That was exactly why you couldn’t stand him. It wasn’t his talent. Nor was it Aomine himself. It was the certainty with which he carried himself, as though defeat simply didn’t exist. As though every opponent standing across from him was already beneath him.
Ever since hearing him declare, “The only one who can beat me is me" you had made yourself a promise.
One day you'd be the one to prove him wrong and beat him.
The anticipated day arrived sooner than either of you expected. By the time the final bell rang, a crowd had already gathered around the gymnasium. Word had spread quickly throughout Touou. No one wanted to miss the game that had started with nothing more than a hallway conversation.
The whistle echoed through the court, and the game began.
Your team secured possession first. Without hesitation, your teammate fired the ball in your direction. You caught it just beyond the three point line, barely giving yourself a second to think before releasing the shot and making a beautiful three pointer.
The gym fell silent.
“…Lucky.”
That was all anyone called it.
Until it happened again.
And again.
By the time your third three pointer dropped cleanly through the net, the whispers had changed.
"Oh damn she ain't half bad."
“No wonder everyone’s been talking.”
Your team had 12 points all from you.
All from you.
Aomine clicked his tongue before jogging over, planting himself directly in front of you the next possession. The lazy expression he’d worn at the start of the game had disappeared, replaced by one you hadn’t seen before.
Excitement.
“So…” he muttered, lowering his stance. “Guess I gotta guard you myself.”
From that moment on, every possession became a battle. His speed was unlike anything you’d ever experienced. The smallest hesitation was enough for him to strip the ball away, and every drive toward the basket was met with another impossible block. You had to admit it…
Playing against Aomine wasn’t just difficult.
It was exhilarating.
Even so, your team maintained a narrow lead.
As you dribbled toward the perimeter once more, Aomine slid in front of you, cutting off every possible lane.
You smirked.
“Aww…all you can do is block me?”
He grinned right back.
"You’re the only one makin shots.”
The moment he shifted his weight toward you, you bounced the ball between his legs toward your waiting teammate who scored.
You glanced over your shoulder with a satisfied smile.
“I’m not a girl who plays by herself.”
For just a second his grin faltered.
The words lingered in his mind longer than he cared to admit.
The remainder of the game was nothing like the beginning. The lazy confidence Aomine had stepped onto the court with vanished almost entirely, replaced by an intensity that forced everyone in the gym to hold their breath. Every drive became faster, every block more aggressive, every shot more precise. He was finally playing seriously.
Unfortunately for you, that was enough.
The girls team fell short by only a few points, and the final buzzer echoed through the gym as the boys celebrated their victory. Yet strangely enough, as everyone crowded around his teammates to congratulate them, Aomine couldn’t bring himself to celebrate. Winning usually filled him with satisfaction. This time, it simply…didn’t.
One by one, the spectators left the gym and left it with a strange silence. You remained beneath the basket, absentmindedly bouncing the ball as your eyes lingered on the rim. Footsteps approached from behind.
“You good?”
You chose to ignore that idiotic question. What would he know. After all maybe it's true that he really doesn't lose.
"Quit the sad face. You shouldn't be too mad at yourself.”
You turned to look at him. “What?”
“I gave my all in that game you know” His eyes shifted toward you, a grin slowly forming across his face. “You played really damn good.”
The compliment caught you completely off guard. You definitely didn't expect that. Instead you expected him to rub it all over your face. So you questioned it. “You’re dead serious?”
“Course I am.” He shrugged as though it were the most obvious thing in the world. “There were a couple times I thought you were actually gonna beat me.”
You stared at him, searching for the usual arrogance hidden somewhere in his expression. It wasn’t there. Instead, he smiled. Not the cocky grin that had irritated you for weeks. Not the smug smile he wore whenever he won. This one was different, it was soft and genuine. A smile you didn't think existed when it came to him.
Looking at that smile made your heart skip a beat.
“No offense,” he continued, crouching slightly so the two of you were nearly eye level, “but for a little girl…”
A teasing smile appeared on his face
"You really know ball.”
You rolled your eyes, unable to suppress a smile of your own. “And there it is. I was wondering how long it’d take before your ego came back out of your ass.”
Aomine laughed. “What can I say?”
You then placed a hand on his shoulder, tapping it slightly.
“…You’re not so bad yourself.”
The words earned another grin from him. He then paused before he stated the obvious.
"I know you can’t stand me.”
You scoffed. “Wow. At least you’re self aware.”
He laughed, unfazed by the remark. “Exactly.” Tilting his head slightly, he continued, “So practice with me. You wanna beat me, don’t you?” he asked as though it were the most up front thing in the world. “Then keep playin against me. You’ll learn how I move, I’ll have somebody who actually pushes me, and we’ll both get better.”
He shrugged.
“Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.”
You smiled. "Wow. You don't seem all that bad now." He then held out his hand. "We makin a deal?"
You held his hand with a smile.
"Deal."

Ryouta Kise
There was a time when you couldn’t remember a day without Ryouta Kise in it.
Throughout your childhood, the two of you were inseparable. Whether it was walking home from school, playing until the sun went down, or talking about anything and everything, Kise was always there. At one point, you would’ve sworn nothing could ever come between you.
Then high school happened. There wasn’t a fight. There wasn’t a dramatic falling out.
It happened quietly, basketball, modeling, new friends.
A growing reputation.
Little by little, Kise’s world expanded, and somehow…you no longer fit inside it.
Conversations became greetings and greetings became passing glances.
Passing glances became nothing at all.
You texted first, then you invited him out and
Eventually…
You stopped trying because Every time you did, it always ended up with him having other plans or just leaving you on read.
It wasn’t that Kise hated you.
That would’ve been easier to accept.
Instead, he simply stopped making time for you.
And somehow, that hurt even more. You hated admitting it, but something about being left on read and watching him laugh with people who barely knew him, admiration had quietly turned into resentment. From a distance, you watched him celebrate every victory. His teammates crowded around him, students cheered his name, and girls eagerly waited for a chance to ask for an autograph or steal a conversation. Kise greeted every one of them with a smile. He had so much time to sign autographs and not once had he had the time to even simply say hi to you. It was gut wrenching. He never noticed the way your eyes lingered on him. Or maybe you're giving him a benefit of the doubt. Maybe
he simply stopped looking.
At first, you convinced yourself it didn’t matter. People drifted apart. That’s just what happens in life. Then you found yourself hesitating before speaking to anyone new. Your heart would accelerate so much the moment you'd attempt to speak that your words would get stuck in your throat. And no matter how much you'd try to rehearse conversations in your head. It only led to abandoning them before they ever began. Every unanswered text felt like it was done on purpose. Every delayed reply convinced you that you’d said something wrong. The closer you grew to someone, the louder the thought became.
They’re going to leave too.
So you stopped giving people the chance.
It was easier to eat lunch alone than wonder if someone would stop sitting beside you. Easier to keep conversations short than grow attached to someone who might disappear. A few classmates called you shy. Others found it amusing enough to make you the target of jokes.
You endured it. Loneliness hurt. But somehow compared to it the worser option was to be left behind. Despite everything, life refused to stop moving. Days became weeks, weeks became months, and eventually the silence between the two of you became routine. It was strange how quickly people could grow accustomed to someone’s absence. You stopped looking for him in the hallways. Stopped checking your phone after school.
But of course there was one thing you couldn't stop, and it was stalking his social media. All the photos with him posted up with a huge group of friends, all the photos of his life seeming absolutely perfect. While you were suffering, Kise remained exactly where everyone expected him to be. The center of attention. The loudest laughter in the hallway. The first person surrounded after every game. From the outside, it looked as though nothing had changed. To him, nothing had.
"For your next assignment,” your teacher announced, shuffling through a stack of papers, “you’ll be working in pairs.” A collective groan swept through the classroom. You barely looked up from your notebook. “Y/N, you'll be working with.." Your stomach tightened waiting for the teacher to randomly pair you up. "Kise.” The classroom erupted into whispers. "They’re childhood friends, aren’t they?”“This should be easy for them.”
"How lucky she is! Id die for that position!" If only they knew. Kise was the first to stand. "Seriously? Y/Nchii?” A grin spread across his face before he made his way toward your desk. “Guess we got lucky!” Lucky...Lucky??!? You couldn’t think of a word that fit less.
The feeling of your heart painfully beating as your hands shook. Sweat beaded down your face and before he could reach you
you’d already gathered your books and walked past him without a single glance.
“…Y/Nchii?” The classroom door slid shut behind you. Kise remained standing there, confused. He then turned to look at his friend who sat behind you "Did I do something?” All the friend did was simply shrug. And Kise was left standing there, worried. For the first time at least.
The following evening, Kise found himself standing outside your front door, his folder beneath his arm. He hesitated for only a moment before knocking. The door swung open almost immediately.
“Ryo?” Your mother’s face lit up the instant she recognized him. “Oh my goodness…” she laughed, stepping aside to let him in. “Look at you! It’s been forever. You've grown so handsome and tall!!" Your mother said excitedly as she looked up a Kise in adoration. Kise smiled scratching his head. "Awee aunty you never fail to make me blush."
As he walked inside, he was reminded him of how much time had passed.
Your mother, however, didn’t seem to notice.
She spoke to him with the same warmth she always had, asking about basketball, modeling, school and everything she’d missed. To her, he was still the little blonde boy who used to run through the house with you until she had to yell at the both of you to settle down.
“Y/N’s upstairs,” she said with a smile before leading him to your bedroom door. She knocked twice.
“Y/N? Ryo’s here.”
The words barely reached your ears before your body stiffened.
Your fingers froze around the page you’d been reading.
Ryo..
Your chest tightened almost instantly.
For a split second, you considered pretending you weren’t home.
Your gaze remained fixed on the same paragraph, yet you hadn’t read a single word. The letters blurred together as your heartbeat steadily grew louder than the silence filling your room. You stared at your hand as it shook trying your best to control it. Another knock.
“Sweetie?”
“Come in..." you managed, your voice barely above a whisper.
The door creaked open.
“Y/Nchii?”
The nickname alone made your stomach twist.
You didn’t answer. Instead, you quietly closed your book and reached for the notebooks sitting on your desk, placing them neatly on the edge of your bed without ever lifting your eyes to meet his.
You couldn’t.
Not because you hated him.
Because if you did everything you’d spent years trying to bury would threaten to come rushing back. And it would be heartbreak all over again
Kise lingered by the doorway for a moment before quietly stepping inside and closing the door behind him. He glanced between you and the notebooks before taking a cautious seat on the edge of your bed.
“Thanks." he murmured, picking up the notes. Silence followed after that.
The room felt unbearably small.
Once, the two of you had talked so much that your mother complained she couldn’t hear the television downstairs.
Now the only sound was the turning of notebook pages and clicks of pens.
Kise’s brows slowly furrowed.
He’d expected you to be upset.
He hadn’t expected you to be afraid of looking at him. Kise continued flipping through your notes, occasionally glancing toward you as if waiting for you to say something. Anything.
You never did.
“You still color code your annotations,” he said with a small laugh, holding up one of the pages. “I remember you used to make mine too.”
You nodded. Still not looking at him.
“I almost forgot how tiny your handwriting is.”
Still nothing.
The smile slowly faded from his face.
“Y/Nchii..."
Your fingers tightened around the notebook you held.
“…Why won’t you look at me?”
Your lips pressed into a thin line as you felt the familiar sting behind your eyes. Not now.
Anything but now.
Instinctively, you lifted the notebook from your lap, pretending to read as you used it to shield your face from him. If a tear slipped…maybe he wouldn’t notice.
“I…”
The word barely escaped before it caught in your throat.
“I-I don’t know…”
A small frown found its way onto Kise’s face.
“Really..?"
You gave the faintest nod.
The room fell silent once again.
Then, without warning, your hands began to tremble.
At first, it was barely noticeable, a slight shake against the edges of the notebook. But no matter how tightly you gripped it, you couldn’t stop them. Your breathing grew uneven, and your breaths became heavier.
“…Y/N.”
His voice was quieter this time.
“…You’re shaking.”
He hesitated.
For a brief moment, he simply looked at you, as though trying to understand what he was seeing. Then, acting purely on instinct, he quickly closed the distance between you and gently wrapped his arms around you.
…What’s wrong?” Kise asked softly, his brows furrowing with concern. “If things were getting that difficult…you could’ve reached out to me.”
You immediately pulled away from him, shaking your head so violently it almost hurt.
“No!” Your voice cracked as the words escaped. “No, I couldn’t have!”
The room fell silent.
“You got so busy with your new life, Ryo..Basketball…modeling…your new friends…” You laughed bitterly through your tears. “I kept telling myself you were just busy. That you’d text me tomorrow…or the day after that. But tomorrow never came.”
His expression slowly fell.
“I didn’t want to believe you’d forgotten about me. But then you stopped answering. You stopped asking me to hang out. You stopped looking for me.”
Your hands tightened into trembling fists.
“I loved you. I loved spending time with you. I cherished every moment with us…” your voice barely rose above a whisper. "But I saw where your priority was."
Kise’s heart sank.
“And it hurt so much I was never able to talk to anyone after that” A tear rolled down your cheek. “I got picked on. I ate lunch alone. I wanted to tell you so many times…” You looked at him for the first time since he’d arrived. “But how was I supposed to reach out to someone who’d already let me go?”
The words struck him harder than any loss ever had.
“I don’t know why…” you continued, your voice breaking. “I don’t know why I was so easy to replace.”
For the first time in a long while, Kise didn’t know what to say.
He thought back to every unread message.
Every invitation he’d planned to answer later.
Every time he’d thought, I’ll text her tomorrow.
Tomorrow had never come.
Without another word, he stepped forward and pulled you into his arms.
“I’m sorry.”
His voice trembled.
“I never meant to leave you behind.”
He held you a little tighter.
“I kept thinking there’d always be another chance to spend time with you…another chance to reply…another chance to catch up. "He closed his eyes.
“I didn’t realize those chances were running out.”
The tears you’d fought so hard to hold back finally fell. You buried your face against his shoulder, crying into the person you’d needed most all along.
When your breathing finally steadied, Kise gently brushed the remaining tears from your cheeks before holding out his pinky with a small smile.
“Can I make you one promise?”
You looked at him.
“I can’t change the years I wasn’t there.”
His smile softened.
“But…I don’t want to make that mistake again.”
You slowly curled your pinky around his.
“Pinky promise.”
Neither of you let go for a long while.
By the time the project was finished, the conversations between you no longer felt forced. Somewhere between shared notes, late night planning, and walks home, Kise found himself remembering why spending time with you had once been the easiest part of his day.
As he reached the front door to leave, you instinctively wrapped your arms around him.
The words came out quietly.
“Please don’t leave me behind again.”
Kise stood frozen for a heartbeat before returning the embrace, resting his chin gently against your head.
“I wont. I love you too much to watch you suffer like that again.”
There was no hesitation in his voice this time.
“I’m here now.”
༺═──────────────═༻
Taiga Kagami
A lot of things confused Taiga Kagami, but nothing confused him more than your hostility toward him. He’d known you since middle school. The two of you had never been particularly close, but you got along well enough. You’d greet him with a smile in the hallways and occasionally exchange a few words. Although you both titled each other as a friend, with the amount of times you guys interacted it was more like acquaintances.
Then high school started.
The first time he caught sight of you in the hallway, he almost didn’t recognize you.
You’d changed. A lot.
As someone who had spent his life around sports, the difference was impossible for him to miss. Your body had become noticeably more athletic, the result of countless hours of training could definitely be seen. Even the way you carried yourself as a person had changed. Gone were the skirts and dresses you used to wear so often in middle school. In their place were sweatpants, oversized tees, and a pair of running shoes that looked incredibly worn.
Then came the biggest surprise.
Track team tryouts.
When he saw your name posted among those who’d made the girls team, he couldn’t help but stop and stare for a moment.
Back in middle school, you were the last person he’d expected to pursue a sport. Gym class alone had been enough to make you groan.
So what had changed?
What could’ve possibly driven someone like you to throw yourself so completely into athletics?
Not once did it cross Kagami’s mind that he’d been the reason.
Unfortunately for him, that wasn’t the only thing he’d failed to notice.
The girl who once greeted him with a smile now looked at him as though he’d committed some unforgivable crime. Every wave was ignored. Every “morning” was met with a glare sharp enough to stop him in his tracks. Sometimes, you’d even walk the long way around the hallway just to avoid passing him.
Poor Kagami couldn’t make sense of it.
“Did I do something?”
That question lingered in his mind for months. The answer had been waiting since middle school. He just didn’t remember it the way you did.
It was one of those spring afternoons where the sun shone with determination to make gym class everyone’s least favorite period.
“Five laps!” the teacher called, clapping his hands together. “No walking!”
Groans can be heard coming from all across the field.
You were no exception.
Sports had never been your thing. While the rest of the class stretched and joked around, you stood quietly near the back, already dreading what was about to happen.
The whistle blew and everyone took off. You didn't understand how everyone was so quick. You tried your best to keep up, but before long the distance between you and the others only grew. Every breath started burning and every step became heavier than the last, and by the time you finally reached the end of your first lap, your vision had begun to blur.
Just a little farther…
Don’t stop now. You can do it Y/N
You pushed yourself forward.
One step.
Then another.
And all that effort was proven futile when your legs suddenly buckled beneath you, sending you crashing onto the track.
Your palms scraped against the rough pavement as you struggled to catch your breath.
Footsteps approached.
“Damn. What are you doing Y/N?"
You slowly lifted your head.
Standing over you was Kagami, barely sweating despite already beginning another lap.
“We’re only one lap in. You can't be that terrible at running."
His expression wasn’t mocking.
If anything he looked genuinely surprised.
To him, the words were meant to push you back onto your feet.
To you, it felt like a knife twisting deeper into your pride. It was humiliating to say the least. Especially the laughs that followed his words.
"Oh nahhh she fell down on the first lap"
"No way she's that weak"
"Maybe if she cut off all that junk she digests everyday she'd be able to run a lap."
A lump formed in your throat.
You forced yourself back onto shaky legs, refusing to let him see you cry.
Whether they were laughing because of Kagami’s words or because you’d fallen no longer mattered.
All you knew was that they’d laughed and he’d been the first one to speak.
You swallowed the sting in your chest and took another step.
Then another. The world tilted.
The laughter faded. Your vision darkened.
And everything went black....
The sharp blast of a whistle echoed across Seirin High’s track field, pulling your attention back to the present. You settled into your stance as your coach called everyone to the starting line.
“One more sprint!”
The sound of shoes striding across the track filled the air as you pushed yourself forward. Every step felt effortless now, the countless mornings and late evenings of training finally paying off. By the time you crossed the finish line, the gap between you and the rest of the team wasn’t even close. And it was quite the opposite gap in comparison to middle school. You were actually the one in the lead.
“Nice work!” your coach called. “That’s why you’re our ace.”
You accepted the praise with a small nod and smile reaching for your water bottle as your teammates continued talking amongst themselves.
“You’ve gotten even faster.”
The familiar voice made your grip tighten around the bottle. Slowly, you turned your head. Standing near the fence was Kagami Taiga, having just finished basketball practice. A towel rested over his shoulders, and despite the sweat running down his face, he still managed to smile.
“I watched the last couple of sprints,” he admitted, scratching the back of his neck. “You were really impressive.”
You stared at him for a long moment.
Then stated.
“Who asked?”
The smile disappeared from Kagami’s face.
“Huh?”
“You always have something to say, don’t you?”
Without waiting for an answer, you walked past him. Kagami remained rooted where he stood, blinking as he stared at you walking away.
“What's her deal..?”
He looked down at the towel in his hands before glancing toward the track again.
“I was just giving her a compliment…”
A nearby teammate chuckled.
“Dude…she seriously doesn’t like you.”
“…Yeah." Kagami sighed, rubbing the back of his head. “I ain't that dumb to not pick up on that.”
He then paused.
“I just don’t get why.”
The interaction lingered in Kagami’s mind for a while.
For the rest of practice, every missed shot found its way back to the same question.
What did I do?
He couldn’t remember ever arguing with you. He couldn’t remember saying anything that would warrant the look you gave him every single time your paths crossed.
After practice, he caught sight of you leaving the track with your bag slung over one shoulder.
“Y/N!”
You pretended not to hear him.
The sound of your fast footsteps echoed against the pavement, growing louder with every passing second due to the quickening pace. You hoped he’d take the hint because you really did not want to talk to him. But unfortunately for you he was not going to give up.
“Y/N!”
A frustrated sigh escaped your lips as
you came to an abrupt stop, tightening your grip around the strap of your bag before slowly turning around. Kagami was only a few steps away now. A towel hanged around his neck, and beads of sweat still clung to the strands of his hair dripping to his forehead. Even after basketball practice, he somehow still had enough energy to chase after people.
“What?”
He scratched the back of his neck, avoiding your eyes for a brief moment before finally speaking.
“I…need you to explain something.”
Your brows furrowed .
“Explain what?”
“The way you look at me.”
His voice remained unusually calm.
“I know you hate me.”
The words hung in the air between you.
“I just…” He let out an awkward laugh, one devoid of his usual confidence. “…I don’t know why.”
You stared at him.
For months, you’d imagined this conversation.
You’d pictured him brushing your feelings aside calling you dramatic or humiliating you and make you the laughing stock of the school.
Anything but confusion.
“You’re serious.”
“I am.”
His answer came so quickly that it almost irritated you.
“Then explain something to me.”
You took a slow step toward him.
“Do you remember middle school?”
His expression shifted, searching through memories he hadn’t touched in years.
“Yeah.”
“Gym.”
A flicker of recognition crossed his face.
"Yeah."
“You told me…” Your gaze drifted toward the school’s track, where a handful of your teammates were still cooling down. “…wuote on quote 'We’re only one lap in. You can’t be that terrible at running.'"
Your fingers curled tightly around the strap of your bag.
“I still remember exactly how you said it.”
Kagami’s expression slowly fell.
“I remember all those laughs because of your words. You really caused a whole scene by what you said. I remember how much the voices of all the laughing made me go dizzy. And next thing you know I was sitting by the nurse."
Silence settled between the two of you.
Kagami stood perfectly still.
He realized the memory you had carried for years wasn’t the same one he’d carried at all.
Kagami’s eyes drifted away from yours, his brows furrowing as he searched through a memory he’d long since buried beneath months of practices, games, and ordinary days. He remembered the heat. He remembered the laps. He remembered you collapsing.
Then it finally started to come back.
“We’re only one lap in.”
His shoulders sank.
“…I did say that.”
You let out a hollow laugh, shaking your head as though the admittance alone proved your point.
“So you finally remember.”
“I do remember saying it.” His voice was quieter now, lacking its usual certainty. “I just…I never knew you heard it that way.”
Your eyes narrowed.
“What other way was there supposed to be?” He looked away from you, his face slightly redeening
“I grew up around sports,” he began slowly. “The people who taught me…that’s just how they talked.”
He paused, trying to piece together thoughts that had never needed explaining before.
“If I fell behind…”
“Somethin like Keep up. If I messed something up…Do it again. If I wanted to quit…You’re better than that.’”
A small, awkward smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
“…i don't really got a nice way of sayin things because that's how I grew up hearing it." You blinked.
“They’d point out what I still had to fix.” He shrugged. “That was their way of saying they thought I could improve.”
His gaze met yours once more.
“So…that’s what I did.”
Your expression remained unreadable.
“When I saw you on that track…” he continued, “…I wasn’t thinking, ‘oh wow she's ass at running.’”
His voice softened.
“I was thinking…” He let out a quiet breath. “‘Come on. You can do this.’”
He laughed once, embarrassed.
“…Guess it came out a whole lot worse than it sounded in my head.”
Neither of you spoke.
A cool breeze drifted across the track, carrying with it the distant sounds of your teammates packing away equipment. Somewhere behind the gym, a basketball struck the pavement in a steady rhythm before fading into silence.
“I never laughed at you. I'd never do that. I actually thought you were pretty cool. We weren’t close or anything, but I liked talking to you. Why would I make fun of someone I got along with?”Kagami said after a while.
“I remember everybody else laughing.”
His jaw tightened.
“I know hated that.”
Your eyes widened almost imperceptibly.
“I’ve always hated when people make fun of someone who’s trying. I tried to stop it. But I don't think you saw those times.."
he then looked at you.
“That’s why I never understood why you looked at me like…” He chuckled bitterly. “Like I was one of them.”
You stared at him.
For years, that memory had replayed in your mind exactly the same way.
Kagami standing over you.
The laughter and the humiliation.
You had never stopped to wonder what he remembered.
“I watched you after that,” he admitted quietly.
Your head lifted.
“What?”
“You started staying after school and you'd ran laps by yourself....You kept getting faster.”
Another small smile crossed his face.
“I figured you got hooked on running.”
He shook his head, almost laughing at himself.
“I had no idea…”
Your eyes made contact as he spoke,
“that you were trying to prove me wrong.”
The words settled heavily between you.
For years, you’d believed the boy standing before you had looked down on your weakest moments but now You were beginning to wonder if he’d been admiring your strength all along.
"How come you even paid attention to me so much? Even after all the attitude I gave you...I feel so bad I'm sorry about that."
You then sighed. "If I was in your position I'd just treat me the same way I treated you."
He rubbed the back of his neck, still avoiding your eyes.
“I dunno..."
You frowned.
“What do you mean, you don’t know?”
“I mean…” He searched for the words. “I never really thought about it.”
His brows furrowed.
“You were just…”
He paused.
The silence stretched a tad bit more between the two of you.
“You were just…”
He paused, almost frustrated with himself for not being able to find the right words.
“Amazing.”
Your breath caught. Kagami didn’t seem to notice.
“I mean…” He quickly tried to explain himself. “Back then you couldn’t even finish one lap.” He glanced toward the track again before looking back at you. “Then I come to high school and all of a sudden you’re outrunning everybody.”
He let out a small laugh, shaking his head.
“I kept thinkin how'd she do that?’”
There wasn’t an ounce of mockery in his voice.
Only admiration.
“You worked harder than anybody else.”
His shoulders rose in a casual shrug.
“I guess…I just thought that was really cool.”
For a moment, neither of you spoke.
"You really thought that?”
Kagami looked at you as though the answer should’ve been obvious.
“Course.”
He laughed sheepishly.
“I mean…you proved me wrong.”
You raised an eyebrow.
“What?”
“I didn’t think anybody could change that much.”
He rubbed the back of his neck again.
“Guess I underestimated you.”
A faint smile tugged at the corner of your lips.
Kagami’s eyes widened just a little.
“There it is.”
You blinked.
“What?”
“You smiled.”
Your face immediately fell back into its usual expression.
“I did not.”
“You actually did.”
“I absolutely didn’t.”
A grin spread across his face.
“…You’re smilin again.”
You rolled your eyes, turning away so he wouldn’t notice the warmth creeping into your cheeks.
“Your still annoyingg oh my god."
“Yeah…”
He smiled to himself.
"I’ll take this over you lookin at me like I ruined your life.”

I try my hardest every day Give my soul to the same old fight But no matter how much of me I give I still feel less every night I wake up already exhausted Like sleep forgot how to heal Trapped in a loop of breathing and breaking Wondering if this is real I run in circles chasing better But better never stays It slips through my shaking hands And leaves me stuck in these days I panic in the silent moments When I am expected to stand Pretending I am stronger than I feel While life leaks out of my hands I am not lazy I am not careless I am just tired deep insideTrying to be good enough While losing myself every time I try

In all your twenty one years of life you’ve experienced a lot. It was safe to say everything from your bucket list was crossed out besides one thing. And it was one of the most conventional things many girls have experienced, especially at your grown age. Most girls by now would’ve either been engaged to their high school sweetheart or establishing a good progressive relationship. But you were quite different. How many people can say they’ve been locked away in jail before they’ve fallen in love? At least in this universe not a lot of people. But you sure can because here you were, sat in a cold empty room with one singular clock and a glass window. It was not a pleasant experience to be put in an interrogation room especially after being arrested the night before while you’ve had at least 10 vodka shots. Since you were hung over the one sound in the room that could be heard was the faint yet loud tick of the clock, which irritated your aching head a tad bit more. At this very moment all you wished for was a little peace and quiet, just a little..was that really too much to ask for? Apparently so because the door finally opened revealing the dectective that was assigned to you to recollect the events from the prior night. “Hi Miss L/N my name is Satsuki Momoi! I wouldn’t have you in here too long! Im just here to find out a bit of what happened yesterday, so we’ll make this quick ok?” Your gaze followed her as she walked towards the chair in front of you. “Hi....” You mumbled under your breath. "Since you were under the influence the night prior you're aware of why you're here and the situation that led you to unfortunate circumstances, correct?" You nodded.
“Uh… yeah. I mean..sort of?”
You hesitated, then nodded anyway.
“I went to a college party. Things got loud. Someone said there was a gun. Then the cops came and found drugs.”
You paused. “And now I’m here.”
She hummed softly as she scribbled something down before looking back up at you. “Alright,” she said lightly, crossing one leg over the other. “Let’s slow it down then. Who invited you to this party?” You tilted your head slightly.
“A friend of a friend,” you said quickly. “I didn’t really know anyone there..other than the friend of the friend!"
“What's the name of the host and your friend?” she asked, pen pausing mid air.
You hesitated for half a second before saying. “The name of my friend is Kazunari Takao...but I really didn't know the hosts name." Her eyes flickered up to yours again, pink lashes batting once before she continued. “And the gun..did you see who pulled it?”
“No,” you answered honestly. “Everything happened fast. Music was loud. People were drunk. Next thing I know, everyone’s screaming.” Momoi nodded again, jotting something down. “Were you aware there were drugs present before the police arrived?” You let out a small breath, shoulders sinking back against the chair. “I mean… it was a college party,” you said slowly. “So I kinda figured there were drugs?” You frowned, clearly thinking it through as you spoke.
“But I don’t really get how that makes them mine. I was just standing there.” She smiled faintly at that, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes.
Momoi didn’t respond right away. She leaned back in her chair, pen resting against the clipboard as her eyes lingered on you. The ticking clock filled the space between you, loud in the silence, while she examined your face, the dark circles beneath your eyes, the exhaustion etched into your features. And for a brief moment, something like pity flickered across her expression.
Momoi sighed. “Fair point,” Momoi said softly believing your innocence. “Do you have any details you’d like to share that might make this easier to-"
The door creaked open.
And a low and rough voice echoed through the room laced with an authority that made it impossible to ignore.
“Yo, Satsuki. Chief wants to speak to you real quick-"
The words trailed off.
His gaze lingered on you for a second longer than necessary, dark eyes dragging over the sight of you slouched in the chair, wrists resting on the table, your expression unreadable beneath exhaustion. He took in the smudged makeup, the messy ponytail, even the messed up manicure.
Although it may have seemed like he paused to examine how fucked out you looked at the moment, that wasn't the reason at all.
It was a feeling.
A strange, nagging sense of familiarity clawed its way to the surface of his brain, forcing him into a long pause as his mind worked overtime. Then it hit him.
“No way,” he muttered, disbelief lacing his voice as his eyes snapped back to your face. “I know you.”
Your brow twitched as your eyes squinted.
“What the hell are you doing here?” he demanded, eyes narrowing. “Don’t tell me you turned yourself in over a bad outfit or something cause trust me, I’ve seen worse crimes.” You raised an eyebrow.
Momoi’s eyes widened. “Daiki, what are you saying?! Are you crazy-"
“I um… I’m sorry,” you said, squinting at him. “Am I supposed to know you?”
You cut in. He ignored Momoi's words and proceeded to answer your question.
“Believe so..if I’m right,” he said, “Back in Highschool, your socks always matched every single one of your outfits. Perfectly.”
Your eyes widened before you could stop yourself.
It was true.
Back in high school, you never wore mismatched socks. Purple hoodie equals purple socks. Yellow sweater equals yellow socks. Even the red polka dotted sweatshirt had red polka dotted socks to match. It had always felt obsessive to you… but apparently impressive enough for someone else to notice. He walked towards the table as Momoi stood abruptly.
“I think you should go,” he said casually, already taking her seat. “I’ll keep an eye on our little prisoner while you’re gone.”
Momoi sighed, hesitant. “I didn't do anything bad right? Chief is so scary sometimes.."
He shook his head. “Nah. I’d warn you he had to talk to you cause of something bad.”
After a moment, she nodded. “Okay, Daiki. I’ll be back.”
The door closed behind her with a soft click.
Leaving just you and the officer, seated across from each other.
Up close, it was impossible not to notice how striking he looked. His skin was a warm, sun kissed tan, the kind that could make you assume he spent more time outside than indoors. It contrasted sharply with the dark blue of his hair. Messy and thick with strands falling wherever they pleased. It suited him quite well.
And the uniform only amplified it.
The dark fabric hugged his frame perfectly. The short sleeves of the uniform was perfect for him since it exposed strong forearms, veins standing out subtly beneath the skin. His hands resting lazily on the table were large and veiny, fingers long. And pinned neatly to the left side of his chest, sat a silver name tag that caught the overhead light every time he shifted slightly. Daiki Aomine.
Other than his name, something else caught your eye, and that was the three chevrons stitched into sleeve.
Sergeant.
The realization settled in slowly.
That meant he wasn’t just some rookie cop fresh out of the academy. He’d been around. Long enough to earn rank.nYou blinked once. Then again.
“Your a sergeant.." You said, quietly, “that means you’re… older than me.”
“Didn’t think you were the type to know about ranks.”
He leaned back in his chair and his shoulders relaxed. His grin never leaving.
“But yeah I was a third year,” he went on casually. “You were a first year. We had afterschool together.”
You nodded. “You’re a pretty young sergeant. That’s impressive.”
He shifted suddenly, pushing up from his chair and leaning forward until his weight rested against the table. The distance between you closed far too quickly, his face now only inches from yours. A smug smile tugged at his lips.
“Guess I wasn’t impressive enough to stick,” he said lazily. “I'm really not memorable, huh?”
Your breath hitched despite yourself, heat creeping up your neck as your eyes widened. Too close. Way too close.
The way he looked at you with an amused smirk sent an unfamiliar feeling rumbling low in your chest. There was something so dangerously attractive about him that it made it hard to look away.
“I was captain of the basketball team,” he added in hopes it jogged your memory. Luckily for him it was the one detail necessary.
Your eyes widened. “You were the ace, right?”
He nodded once, lips twitching.
“Knew I couldn’t be that forgettable,” he muttered. “Yeah. Been a minute though.”
You let out a soft chuckle.
“Never took you as the type to remember someone like me,” you said lightly. “I was kind of a loser.”
His expression shifted not much, just enough.
“Don’t say that,” he replied. “If you were loser, I wouldn’t remember you. Plus I found it a little cute how you matched your socks."
A faint blush crept on your face due to is words. He studied you for a moment longer, eyes narrowing slightly. Not in suspicion, but curiosity.
“Still tho,” he added, leaning back just enough to put space between you again, “Never thought I’d see you in a room like this.”
You blinked. “Me?”
“Yeah,” he said. “You had your shit together back then. Looked perfect. Quiet. Put together.” His gaze flicked to you again. “It don't really add up.”
You let out a small, humorless laugh.
“I wasn’t perfect.”
He scoffed softly. “Sure didn’t look that way.”
You shrugged. “Looks lie.”
He tilted his head, clearly unconvinced. “Alright then,” he said lazily. “Tell me, matching socks girl how exactly weren’t you?”
Heat crept up your face.
“I was terrible at taking tests,” you admitted. “Like… really bad.”
He blinked once.
“…That’s it?” he deadpanned. “That’s your big flaw?”
“Wait really?” you asked. “That’s not bad?”
“That’s normal,” he said in a flat tone. “Still can't really change my mind about you."
Your cheeks reddened, and you looked away quickly, clearing your throat.
“Anyway uh about last night,” you said, forcing the subject elsewhere.
“I got arrested because,” you hesitated, then blurted, “they think I was dealing drugs.”
He froze. Then he let out a sharp laugh.
“No way,” he said. “That’s actually crazy.”
He looked back at you with disbelief.
“You? Drugs?”
You scoffed. “What, I don’t look like I’d do them?”
“Not even close.”
“Well,” you huffed, “you’re not wrong..but I did have like ten shots last night. That has to be at least a little bad!"
That got a low chuckle out of him.
"Not really... is this some kinda ‘bad girl’ phase or what?” He tilted his head slightly, eyes flicking over you again. “Cause I gotta say,” he added, unimpressed, “you’re really bad at it.”
“If I wanted to prove something, I’d do way better than this!"
He hummed, his amusement evident.
“Yeah?” His eyes dragged over you again. “Could’ve fooled me.”
You leaned back in your chair, crossing your arms. “Yeah but last night really sucked. I went to a party, drank too much, and ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
“Sounds like a mess,”
“Thanks,” you shot back. “Now I see why you're a cop and not a therapist or something."
“Sergeant,” he corrected, then smirked when you rolled your eyes. “Relax..just like a therapist I’m not here to judge around.” You sighed and replied with a low, “If you say so...”
He clicked his tongue, leaning forward slightly. “If I was judging you, you’d know. This?” He gestured between the two of you. “I’m just surprised.”
“About?”
“You,” he said simply. “High school you wouldn’t even talk.. Now you’re sittin here talkin about some ten shots and drug trafficking.”
You winced. “When you put it like that…”
“Yeah,” he muttered. “Kinda weird right?.”
There was a brief pause before he spoke again.
“…So,” he added, quieter this time, “any details you can recall about last night?”
You exhaled slowly, eyes dropping to the table for a moment before you spoke.
“It wasn’t supposed to be anything crazy,” you said. “Just a college party. Loud music, packed house, people I barely knew.” You shrugged. “I was drinking. A lot."
Aomine snorted quietly. “Sounds about right.”
“I went to the kitchen to the kitchen for water,” you continued, ignoring him. “And that's when things got… weird. People started arguing. Someone knocked over a table. Glass shattered.” Your fingers curled slightly against the tabletop. “Then I heard someone yell that there was a gun.”
His expression changed just a little, more focused this time.
“Did you see it?” he asked.
You shook your head. “No. I just remember everyone panicking. Running. But I froze, then the sirens started.”
“Police were already on the way,” he muttered.
“Yeah,” you said. “They rushed in, told everyone to get on the ground. I was still in the kitchen when they started searching the place.”
Aomine leaned back, eyes never leaving you. “And that’s where they found it I assume?"
You nodded. “Bag of drugs. Not mine. I didn’t even know it was there.” Your voice tightened. “But it was close enough to me that they didn’t care.”
Silence settled between you again.
“Anyone else near you?” he asked.
“A couple people,” you said. “But they took off when things got loud. I was too drunk and too stupid to run.”
He clicked his tongue. “Figures.”
You looked up at him sharply. “Hey.”
“That wasn’t an insult,” he said. “Just hella wack timing.”
He watched you for a moment longer, then leaned forward slightly, elbows resting on the table.
“So you didn’t touch it. Didn’t sell it. Didn’t even know it was there.”
“No,” you said firmly. “I wouldn’t mess with that stuff. Ever.”
His gaze searched your face like he was weighing something.
“…Alright,” he said finally.
“Alright?”. You repeated his words.
“I believe you,” he added, casual yet certain.
“So,” he said again, watching you carefully, “you really didn’t know what was sitting next to you.”
You shook your head immediately. “No. I swear. If I did, I would’ve moved. Or left. Or” you frowned, thinking. "Or maybe spill my drink on the person on accident.."
He stared at you.
“…You’re serious.”
You nodded earnestly. “I’m really clumsy when I drink while being scared."
“That’s your defense?” he said with a deadpan tone.
You shrugged. “You yourself said I'm not really good at being bad..."
For a moment, he didn’t respond. He leaned back in his chair, arms crossing loosely as he studied you like you.
“You are the most interesting person I've ever met." You looked at him confused.
"How just because I match my socks?!"
“Yeah and the fact you're sittin here talkin about drug trafficking like it’s a parking ticket,” he said. “Most people would be panicking.”
“Oh,” you said softly. “I did panic. Earlier. I cried in the car.”
He blinked amused. “…You cried.”
"Yeah,” you admitted, nodding. “The officer told me to stop hyperventilating."
He stared at you for a long second muttered to himself. "Just as I assumed. You really don't belong here."
Aomine then straightened himself as he stood up.
“Alright,” he said, already moving.
Your heart dropped.
“Wait what?” you asked, panic creeping into your voice as he stepped closer. “What are you going to do..."
The sound of metal shifting made your stomach twist.
“No-no, wait,” you blurted, breath quickening as his hand reached for the cuffs. “I thought you said you believed me. I didn’t do anything, I swear, I-"
Click.
Cold steel closed around your wrists.
Your breath caught sharply, eyes burning as shock hit harder than fear.
“Yo-you’re arresting me?” you whispered, voice trembling despite yourself.
“Hey,” he said immediately, firm but low, his hand steady at your back when you swayed. “Look at me.”
You did, wide eyed and terrified.
“I need you to trust me,” he murmured. “Just for a minute.”
Before you could even process that, he was guiding you out of the room. The door opened. The hallway was way too bright considering you just exited a dimly lit room. As you walked, every step felt heavy, your thoughts racing, heart pounding so loud you were sure everyone could hear it. You were about to go to back to that prison again. And god knows for how long.
People looked but no one questioned him.
That scared you even more. But suddenly you realized, you weren't going the direction of the prison. It was...the direction of outside.
The cool air of outside hit your face. Your eyes was wide as you blinked. Aomine only stopped once you were out of sight.
"Can't believe you thought I was gonna put you back there." He said as he un cuffed you. You stared at your wrists, stunned, like your brain hadn’t caught up yet. You turned around
“I-” your voice broke. “I don’t understand..why didn't you arrest me?.”
"Are you dealing drugs?” he asked, and you shook your head no. "Did you point a gun at someone?" Once again you shook your head. “Then what the hell am I gonna arrest you for?” He stretched his hand as he looked at you.
“Besides Jail don't even suit you. Too pretty. You'd ruin the whole aesthetic we got going on there."
His words made your heart feel like it was struck by something unseen all so suddenly. Your breath caught and your heart raced for a reason you didn’t fully understand yet. Is this what they described the arrow of Eros to feel like?
You swallowed hard. “I..Are you sure..Wouldn't you get in trouble?"
“Nah. I got it. Don’t stress yourself over it.”
He said with a huge grin.
“Why? You scared or somethin"
Indeed, at this moment, you felt fear, but not just because of the consequences he might have to pay for his actions. The fear that lingered within you was also due to something unfamiliar.
What was crazier than someone who consistently matched her socks to her sweaters or shirts every morning, suddenly being caught off guard by something like this? You’d always been careless in the small ways, impulsive, a little dumb when it came to details. But somehow, in all your years of recklessness, you’d never fallen for anyone. Not once. And now here you were, heart racing over a grin, a compliment and a promise that wasn’t even meant to be romantic. Fear curled in your chest and it was not because of where you were, but because for the first time, you could feel yourself losing control of something you didn’t know how to stop.
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
The door to the chief’s office shut with a solid thud. Aomine stood, hands behind his back, posture relaxed but his jaw was tight. The air in the room felt heavier than usual.
“You wanna explain why you released a detainee without clearing it through me?” the chief asked, unimpressed.
Aomine didn’t flinch. “She wasn’t charged. Evidence was circumstantial at best.”
“Circumstantial still counts,” the chief replied. “You overstepped.”
Before Aomine could respond, the door opened again.
“S-Sorry,” Momoi said quickly, stepping inside with her clipboard hugged to her chest. Aomine's eyes widened.
"Satsuki what are you-"
“I need to say something.”
The chief sighed. “Go ahead, Detective.”
“She wasn’t involved,” Momoi said firmly now, her nerves fading away. She would've been terrified of the chief in any other circumstance but when it came to proving her best friend's actions justifiable, unknown bravery always comes about. “There was no fingerprints, no witness statements and no prior history. She was just… there.” She swallowed. “Honestly, Sergeant Aomine was right to remove her before it escalated.”
The chief’s gaze shifted back to Aomine.
“And you’re telling me you’d stake your badge on that?”
Momoi nodded. “Yes, sir.”
A brief silence followed.
The chief leaned back in his chair, studying Aomine for a long moment. “You’re lucky,” he said finally. “If this had gone sideways, I’d be ripping those chevrons right off your sleeve.”
Aomine met his gaze without hesitation. “Understood.”
“But"
the chief continued, exhaling, “you’re not wrong. And you’re not reckless.” A pause. “You’re damn good at your job. That’s why this ends here.”
Momoi let out a quiet breath of relief.
“Next time,” the chief added, pointing a finger at Aomine, “you clear it with me first.”
Aomine nodded once. “Yes, sir.”
As they stepped back into the hallway, Momoi glanced up at him, eyes wide.
“You almost got demoted,” she whispered.
“Worth it.”
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
Anyone would think about the person who pulled them out of a nightmare. Anyone would replay the sound of his voice when be complimented you. Anyone would think about a promise of reassurance.
But days passed.
Then weeks.
Yet Daiki Aomine stayed lodged in your head. You started replaying the night of the incident over and over, picking apart every detail you could remember. The kitchen. The counter. The faces that blurred past you when everyone ran. You even tried to remember what song had been playing. With all this effort to remember, there was one thing you could've done that made sense. You started investigating.
It wasn’t anything official. Nothing cool or impressive. Just you asking questions you probably shouldn’t have been asking, getting information from Takao, texting people who’d been at the party, scrolling through photos, zooming in on backgrounds. And every time you thought you found something.
You went to him.
“I think this guy was in the kitchen,” you said breathlessly, shoving the screen toward him. “He keeps posting about ‘easy money’ and wait, is that suspicious or am I reaching?”
Aomine stared at you.
“…You came all the way here for this?”
You nodded. “Yeah.”
He glanced at the screen once, then handed your phone back.
“We’re gonna need more than that, pretty.”
The word hit you harder than it should have.
“…What?” you asked, a second too late.
“Nothing,” he muttered, already turning away. “Go home.”
You didn’t think about the evidence on the way home.
You thought about the word.
Pretty.
He hadn’t smiled.
Hadn’t teased.
Hadn’t even looked at you when he said it.
But the way he said it, he said it like it held some truth. When you went home after that meeting, you looked at your reflection,. Messy hair, tired eyes, hoodie slipping off one shoulder and your heart skipped for no reason at all.
Did he really mean that?
How could he even say that when I look like this.
You sighed as you looked at your hoodie, then down to your socks. A lavender hoodie with lavender socks. "I might need to put slightly more effort than matching my socks next time..."
Ever since that day, anytime you went to the station, you'd try your ultimately best to look pretty
You felt like you had to live up to that nickname, after all you loved hearing it.
So you put more effort to look pretty just so he'd call you it. Hair done. Outfit hot as hell. Not too overdressed but pretty enough to turn heads. You switched out your sweaters for tops that actually fit you instead of drowning you. Jeans that accentuated your figure. And of course, your socks always matched your top.
You kept showing up with screenshots. Trails of your memory.
Half-formed theories that still ended with, “I don’t know, it just feels off.”
Sometimes he sighed.
Sometimes he scolded you.
But he never told you to stop.
And he never stopped calling you pretty.
The first time, he immediately noticed the difference in attire. And didn’t even bother hiding it.
“You always dress like that when you’re playin detective?” he asked, eyes dragging over you before he caught himself.
You blinked. “Like what?”
He shrugged, already looking away. “Never mind pretty.”
But the corner of his mouth twitched.
After that, it became obvious.
Too obvious.
You didn’t even realize how far it had gone until one afternoon after you’d shown up for the third time that week. He leaned back in his chair and said,
“You know you don’t gotta keep comin here, right?”
You blinked. “Yeah. I know."
The silence stretched.
“…I just want to,” you added quietly.
Aomine exhaled slowly, rubbing a hand over his face. "Look you can't always be showin up here like this. It's not a good look."
Your heart sank. “Oh. I’m sorry-I didn’t mean to-"
“Let me finish what I’m sayin pretty" he cut in quickly.
“Sometimes I'm on patrol when you come and it kinda makes me look like an ass, havin you waitin around.”
You nodded, embarrassed despite yourself.
He paused for a moment before saying,
“…Come by my place instead.”
You froze.
“My-your place?”
“Yeah,” he said, like it was obvious. “If you find somethin’. Or think you did. Safer. Quieter."
Your brain short circuited. “Are… are you allowed to do that?”
“Relax,” he muttered. “You’re not gettin case files or nothin. You’re just talkin’.”
"Oh,” you said. Then, softer, “…Okay.”
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
The first time you went to his apartment , you made sure you looked especially good.
You checked your reflection three times before getting out of the car. Adjusted your top. Smoothed your hair. Took a breath like you were walking into something dangerous.
He wasn’t even there when you arrived.
But you still waited anyway.
When he finally pulled up, keys jangling, he stopped short the second he saw you.
“…Shit-pretty,” he muttered, already moving. “You shoulda told me when you got here. I wouldn’t’ve had you waitin out here.”
He rushed to unlock the door, holding it open like it was instinct.
You shrugged. “I didn’t want to be late.”
His eyes flicked over you slow this time. No pretending. No rushing past it.
Something unreadable crossed his face.
"You’re really serious about this, huh.” He muttered quietly
You looked up at him, honest as ever.
“About the case?” you asked.
He didn’t answer right away. Just unlocked the door and stepped aside, letting you in.
“…Yeah,” he said finally.
The sound of the door closing behind you louder than it should’ve been. The apartment was quiet, warm, and very him. If that makes sense.
You glanced around. “Nice place.”
“It’s just a place,” he replied, kicking his shoes off and dropping his keys onto the counter. “You want water or somethin’?”
“I’m okay,” you said. You shifted your weight, suddenly hyper-aware of yourself standing there. In his apartment
He noticed.
“Relax,” he muttered. “You’re actin’ like you’re back in interrogation.”
You let out a small breath. “I'm sorry. Can't help that when I'm near you..”
He nodded toward the couch. “Go sit pretty.”
You did and Aomine stayed standing for a moment, watching you before grabbing his phone and moved to sit beside you. Not too close but close enough.
“So,” he said. “What’d you find.”
Your spine straightened instantly. “Okay..so I texted two people who were at the party. One of them left early, but the other stayed until the cops showed up.”
You pulled your phone out, scrolling quickly. “He said he saw someone in the kitchen right before everything went down. Same guy from the picture I showed you before.”
Aomine leaned back slightly. “Did he say anything else?”
“Yeah,” you nodded, swiping to the messages. “He said the guy kept going in and out of the kitchen. Like… a lot.”
“Definitley not normal,” Aomine muttered.
“That’s what I thought,” you said. “And I remembered something too...when I went in for water, I think I saw him shove something behind the trash can. I didn’t think anything of it at the time.”
Aomine turned toward you fully now. “You didn’t say that before.”
“I didn’t remember before,” you admitted. “Everything was kind of a blur. But it’s been replaying in my head.”
He studied your face for a second, like he was deciding whether to push or not. Then he nodded.
“Okay,” he said. “That’s actually useful.”
Your shoulders relaxed a little at that.
You scrolled again. “There’s more. The guy stopped posting right after that night. No stories. No captions. Nothing.”
“That’s suspicious,” Aomine said immediately.
“I know,” you replied, a little too eager. “And when I tried searching his name, it didn’t come up in the college directory. At all.”
Aomine leaned closer to see your screen.
Like closer closer.
You didn’t realize how close until you felt the warmth of his shoulder brushing yours. His arm hovered just behind you, not touching, but close enough that your breath caught.
He frowned suddenly.
“Hold up.”
Your stomach dropped. “What?”
He then took control using his thumb to scroll. His brow knit the second he saw it.
“…Why did you skip past this part?"
You froze.
On the screen was the message you’d seen. The one you’d definitely read. The one you’d pretended didn’t exist.
“I-I forgot,” you said weakly.
He glanced at you. Unconvinced.
“You forgot a message sayin Rudy dipped cause things were about to get messy? And he didn't want to do a drug test because he'd fail?"
“…Okay,” you muttered. “Maybe I didn’t forget.”
He then at you. "Then why skim past that..."
You stared at the couch cushion like it held the answer. Your fingers twisted together.
“Because if this ends,” you said quietly, “I'll never be able to have a reason to keep coming here.”
The room was filled with silence when you admitted that.
Aomine didn’t react right away. Just stared at you like he was processing something he hadn’t planned to think about.
“…You’re serious,” he said.
You nodded, face burning. “I know it’s dumb. I wasn’t trying to mess anything up. I just-this was the only excuse I had to talk to you.”
He clicked his tongue, rubbing the back of his neck.
“You’re a pain.”
Your heart sank. “I know-"
“In a bad way,” he added quickly. Then paused. “…And not.”
He moved closer with a smirk.
“You coulda just said you wanted to see me,” he muttered.
“I didn’t think you’d let me,” you said honestly.
He scoffed. “You be showin up anyway.”
“…Yeah.”
Another pause. Then, quieter.
“Guess that’s on me for wanting you to."
Before you could say anything else, he leaned in.
The first kiss was brief. Like he was testing the waters.
Then the second kiss was softer yet slower. His hand coming up to steady your jaw like he’d decided already.
When he pulled back he tilted your jaw so you'd look at him.
“Listen,” he said low. “You don’t need an excuse.”
You swallowed. "I don't?"
“No.” His thumb brushed your cheek, quick, almost absent. “You wanna see me, you come see me. Whenever the fuck you feel like it.”
Your breath caught. “Really?”
“Yes pretty any fucking time you need me.”
He continued to kiss you, laying you down on the couch.
You then pulled away and looked up at him, heart racing.
“…Is this even allowed?” you asked softly. “I mean-you’re a cop. I was detained and-"
He cut you off.
“You’re not a suspect anymore,” he said. “Thats all that matters.”
He kissed you again, deeper this time and by the way he was kissing you, you can tell how needy he was. And your soaked underwear perfectly showcased how equally needy you were as well.
You couldn't even control the moan coming out of your mouth as your hand gripped the collar of his uniform. “You're sure this isn’t gonna get you in trouble?”
He pulled back just an inch, breath heavy. “If it does…” His thumb brushed your cheek again, slow. “I’ll handle it."
That made your chest tighten. Then he was kissing down your neck, dragging your shirt up with both hands like he’d been dying to see what was under it for weeks.
“Been thinkin about this since the second I saw you,” he said, voice low against your skin. “Your so god damn beautiful my pretty girl. I knew I was so fucked when I saw you. I love everything about you. Your stupid socks, your innocence, the clueless nature you have, shit bro."
His hands were warm and big, so so big as they moved under your shirt, his thumbs brushing slowly over your breasts. Your breath hitched, lips parting as his palms cupped both tits fully, giving them a squeeze that made you whimper.
“So fuckin soft,” he muttered. “So fuckin perfect.”
He dipped his head, kissing the center of your chest before lifting your shirt higher, impatient now. When your bra came off, he let out a sharp breath at the gorgeous sight.
“Fuck.” His mouth was on you in seconds, licking a stripe up one breast before taking your nipple into his mouth. He sucked slow, deep, fingers pinching the other gently, rolling it between his fingers.
“Daiki fuck,” you gasped, arching under him.
He growled low in his throat. “Been thinking about these every night. In the damn shower. In my patrol car. Driving myself insane wondering how you taste.”
He bit gently, just enough to make you moan, then kissed it better.
Your head was spinning, thighs clenching around nothing, your whole body hypersensitive as he moved to your other nipple, laving it with that same worshipful, greedy attention.
He was rutting against your thigh now, hard in his uniform pants, as he kissed and sucked and palmed your tits like he couldn’t get enough.
“You don’t know what you do to me,” he rasped, lips wet with spit and want. “But I’m gonna show you.”
His lips were still slick from your chest, his hands roaming every inch of your body like he couldn’t decide where to touch next. You were flushed, legs spread, panties soaked through and you couldn’t stop squirming beneath him.
Then he moved lower.
His breath lingered over your hips as he tugged your underwear down slowly.
“Fuck…” he breathed, staring down at your glistening pussy. “Look at you… you’re so wet, baby.”
He leaned in to kiss the inside of your thigh, then your mound, then finally dragged his tongue along your slit.
You cried out at the first real contact.
“You’re so sweet. I could eat you for hours.”
And he did, slow at first, then deeper,tongue curling into your tight little hole, one hand still on your tits, the other pinning your hip down as your thighs trembled.
You didn’t know pleasure like this existed. You were panting, overwhelmed, your legs trying to close and your hands clawing at the couch cushion.
When you came, your body shook.
He kissed your twitching clit once more before sitting up, face shining with slick. “You good?”
You nodded weakly, lips parted.
Then he undid his belt, and your eyes went wide.
His cock slapped against his abs, thick, veiny, flushed and huge. You swallowed hard.
“You sure about this?” he asked, voice suddenly quieter, rough with restraint.
You nodded. “I want you.”
He kissed you softly. “I’ll go slow.”
He guided the head to your entrance, dragging it through your slick folds a few times before slowly, pushing in.
You winced.
You froze instantly, eyes locked on your face.
“Baby…” His brows drew together. “That hurt?”
You nodded, biting your lip. “I-It’s my first time.”
Everything in him shifted. The grip on your thigh, the tension in his shoulders the way his breath caught in his chest like you’d just confessed something dangerous and precious at the same time.
“Oh shit..." he said quietly, voice hoarse. “fuck. I’m gonna be so gentle, okay? You just… tell me if anything feels wrong.”
You nodded, and he kissed you slow and deep as he sank in the rest of the way, stopping every inch to let you adjust.
When he bottomed out, both of you moaned.
“I’ll make it good for you,” he whispered, holding you so close, you could barely breathe. “I swear, pretty. I’ll make you feel so good.”
He stayed buried inside you, unmoving, trying to calm his own breathing as your walls pulsed around him. The fact that you were this tight, this warm, this new his head spun with the thought.
“…Fuck,” he whispered, kissing your cheek gently. “You’re really mine now, huh?”
You whimpered, and he shushed you, brushing your hair from your face, kissing the corner of your eye. “You okay, pretty?”
You nodded, dazed. “Feels… big.”
He chuckled. “I know, baby. I know. But you’re takin’ it so good. You’re doin’ perfect.”
His hips rolled just a little, testing. You gasped, thighs trembling, body still adjusting but you didn’t push him away.
So he did it again.
Slow. Deep. Careful.
The way your pussy clung to him, fluttering around his cock, it was damn near sinful. He cursed under his breath, dragging out, then pressing back in with a shaky groan.
“Fuck, you’re squeezin hella tight.”
You moaned, fingers clawing at his biceps as he found a rhythm that made your body melt. Gentle but deep. Patient, but deliberate. His pelvis ground into your clit with every slow thrust.
“You’re doin’ so good for me,” he breathed. “Makin’ me feel so fuckin’ good shit-I’ve never…”
He didn’t finish. Couldn’t. The feeling of your tight virgin cunt wrapped around him, still twitching, still drooling from your first orgasm. it was overwhelming.
“Pretty girl,” he rasped, thrusting deeper now, voice getting shakier, “if you keep squeezin’ me like this I’m not gonna last…”
You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him closer.
“Then don’t,” you whispered, eyes glassy. “Cum inside me. I'm on the pill it's okay."
He froze.
“what?”
You nodded, voice small. “I promise it's okay."
His groan was broken. His next thrust was rougher, deeper, possessive.
“You sure?” he panted. “Fuck, don’t say that unless you mean it. Cause I’ll fuckin’ do it. I’ll fill you up, pretty. I’ll make this pussy remember me.”
“Yes,” you moaned. “Daiki please do it.”
He slammed into you harder now, sweat dripping down his temple, fucking your virgin cunt open like it was made for him.
And then with a deep, breathless growl he came.
He spilled inside you, hips jerking, holding you so close his body trembled. His cock throbbed deep inside your soaked, overstretched cunt, pumping rope after rope of cum into your womb.
“…Shit,” he finally whispered. “That felt like heaven.”
You were still gasping, twitching around him, the sight of you made him reach down to cup your face.
“I’m not lettin you walk home,” he murmured. “You’re gonna stay here tonight. On me. In me. Whatever you want.”
He pulled out slow, hissing at the sight of his cum leaking out of your pussy.
You whimpered at the overstimulation, and he kissed your thigh, your stomach, your chest. “Ima gonna run you a bath, your probably sore as shit,” he said, voice gentle now. You nodded breathing heavily.
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
After your bath, you kiss against his chest, both of you tucked under the thin blanket on his bed.
He hadn’t said much since, his fingers tracing lazy circles on your bare spine.
It was comfortable and intimate.
Then you felt his hand pause.
“Can I ask something?” he asked, voice low.
You lifted your head a little to look at him. “Of course.”
He exhaled like he’d been holding it in all night. “You believe in fate?”
“…I don’t know. Why?”
He looked down at you, something softer than usual in his eyes. “Because it’s fuckin’ crazy. The way you got detained. The way I just happened to be the one walking into that room while you were getting interrogated.”
His hand brushed your hair back gently, thumb grazing your cheek.
“I ain't think that shit was random,” he murmured. “It’s like… I was meant to see you again.”
He looked away for a second, then back at you.
“Shit-I don’t want you to think I’m saying this just ‘cause we fucked,” he added quickly, voice rougher now. “But I mean it. Genuinely.”
You watched him, waiting.
“I want to be your boyfriend,” he said.
You stared at him. Then whispered
“I think, I’ve been waiting for you to say that since before we even knew each other like this.”
“Then I guess fate really did its job, huh?”
