Kei's POV:

Occasionally, I am forced out of the comfort of my very solitary regimented life. Maybe every other month, a small group of student council presidents in Tokyo will get together and sit at a table with some food; discussing the seemingly never ending woes and responsibilities of a president. I'm normally okay with these little parties; I never fit in because I actually enjoy helping people without reward, but I get by nonetheless.

Then there comes a time usually once a year, when a very rich student council president of a very fancy school decides on a whim that he or she will throw an elaborate dinner party for all the student presidents of the top schools in Japan. I'm the student council president of a Touou; a high ranking school academically, athletically, and socially. Therefore, I am invited and socially obligated to go to this event that almost certainly requires me to wear a suit; at least this year the location was only an hour outside of Tokyo so I didn't have to spend a lot of time traveling.

After almost two hours of smiling and conversing with people who were way too rich for their own good, I had resigned myself to a dark corner in hopes of getting some peace and quiet. Those hopes were dashed however, when I spotted a president I'd been chatting with earlier walking around with someone I didn't recognize. He was scanning the room nervously, looking for someone to pawn his company off on and I silently prayed he wouldn't see me because a bad part of being nice to people all the time is that I'm basically a drop off site for people who no one wants to talk to. "Kei!" I cringed as he called my name.

"We meet again," I said forcing a smile on my face.

"We do," he said happily and then turned to the boy he was with, "You two haven't met each other yet have you?"

"I don't think so," I said extending my hand, "I'm Sakamoto Kei, it's nice to meet your acquaintance."

"Akashi Seijuro," the redheaded boy said without bothering to lift his hand.

I awkwardly put my hand down, "You know, you two have a lot in common. Akashi's a first year student president," he said to me and then turning to Akashi explained, "Kei was in that same position last year."
"Yep," I said cheerfully.

"I think I'm going to get something to drink," the guy said and I watched him go, knowing full well that he was never coming back.

"So," I said with a smile, "Which school do you go to?"

"Rakuzan," he answered.

"Wow, that's a great school. You must be very accomplished to be student council president there," I praised.

"Accomplished?" he said raising an eyebrow and then smirking, "No, I am simply the best choice."

"I see," I said nervously, "Well whatever the case, being a student president when you're a first year can be hard, but just keeping working hard and you'll get the respect you deserve."

"Oh, I don't have an issue with respect. I am absolute, I don't leave any room for anyone to not respect me," he said darkly.

I shivered involuntarily and understood why this kid had been ditched, he's possibly a future serial killer. It's okay Kei, just carry on like normal. "That's great," I said happily, "I'm the student council president at Touou."

"I've heard of you," Akashi said in a tone that scared me.

"All good things I hope," I said apprehensively.

"You're popular with your students," Akashi stated.

"Not really, I just try and take care of them the best I can," I said smiling.

"Hm," he said giving me a disapproving look, "Well, it's obvious we have two different ways of running our schools."
"Uh, yeah," I said in agreeance.

"Lunch is being served. Come," he ordered.

"Yes," I said walking behind him subserviently.

"Akashi, what do you like to do in your free time? You seem like a serious minded individual," I said sitting down.

Akashi sat next to me saying, "Winning is my hobby."

I blinked at him a few times, "Okay," I said looking away.

"I do enjoy shogi and horseback riding," he added after I'd looked away.

I turned to him smiling, "That sounds really interesting. I've never ridden a horse before, but I imagine it's a pretty majestic experience."

Akashi gave me a small smile, "You remind me of a horse. Gentle and timid."

"Thank you," I said deciding to take it as the redhead's way of giving me a compliment.

I started as I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. Taking a peek at who had texted me, I was shocked to see it was Aomine. He'd never texted me before except when we were confirming dates and times for studying, but there was no need for that now. Looking around and realizing that no one was paying attention to me, I opened the text:

12:52 PM: Are you busy?

I really couldn't believe my luck, why, out of all days, did Aomine have to text me when I was at this event?

12:53 PM: kinda

I waited anxiously for a response. I hope he doesn't think I'm avoiding him, or ignoring him.

12:53 PM: Oh, ok

Oh no, he definitely sounded disappointed.

12:54 PM: Why? I'm stuck at this stuffy event and any excuse to leave would be nice :)

Was the smiley face too much? Do I look too desperate? Crap, he probably thinks I want to jump in his pants now. I mean I do, but I don't want him to know that.

12:55 PM: There's a basketball game. Shutoku vs. Seirin. Thought you might wanna watch with me

Shutoku and Seirin? That means Kazu and Taiga are going to be playing. I can't pass that up, let alone getting to spend time with Aomine outside of school. "Texting at a time like this is rude," I heard Akashi's voice reprimanded me.

"Sorry," I muttered, "It's just something kind of important."

"Important?" Akashi asked me.

I tugged at my hair saying, "Oh, just something with the ace of our basketball team, you know how that can be."

"Something to do with Daiki?" he asked.

My eyes widened, Daiki? So he knew Aomine? And he called him by his first name? "Yeah," I answered and then asked, "You know him?"

Akashi frowned, "Unfortunately. I was his captain on the Teiko basketball team and while he's a good player, his rowdiness was hard to deal with."

Oh, so that explains it. My phone vibrated in my hand again and I looked down.

1:02 PM: Oi, if you can't come say so. Don't just stop texting

I looked up at Akashi's amused face before quickly texting back:

1:02 PM: Sorry, I was being scolded. I'll try to come.

1:03 PM: Who the hell is scolding you?

1:03 PM: Akashi Seijuro

1:03 PM: You're with Akashi?

1:04 PM: Yes

1:04 PM: Get out of there. Now.

"You know Kei, if you need to go tend to an emergency, just go," Akashi said smirking at me.

An hour later and several texts sent reassuring Aomine that I was completely fine, I arrived at the building I was supposed to...at least I hope it is. It's got so many tunnels and I don't know where the hell I am; the angry texts from Aomine are not helping either. As I tried my best to traverse through the complicated building, all of a sudden there was a beacon of light, also known as the tall frame of a basketball player. "Excuse me!" I shouted as I ran up to him, "I'm lost do you think you could help me?" I said laughing.

Green eyes framed by glasses like my own looked at me before turning away. I saw him push his glasses up with his finger before muttering, "It would seem...we're in the same predicament nanodayo."

"Really…" I said in a dejected voice.

I would've been happier to share my poor navigation skills if the guy didn't seem so grumpy. He wasn't grumpy like Aomine, who was adorable when he was crabby, but this guy was grumpy in a standoffish way. He had green hair, his fingers were wrapped which was weird, and his orange uniform made him look like a carrot...orange uniform, "Shin-chan!" I said pointing at him with a sudden burst of memory.

He cringed noticeably, "Don't call me that."

I laughed, "Sorry, I don't know what else to call you."

"I'm Midorima Shintarou," he introduced himself.

"I'm Sakamoto Kei," I replied and said, "Um, should we try to find the way out of here together? You have a game starting soon right?"

"Do you mind if I join you? I'm lost too," a shaky voice said behind us.

Midorima and I turned around to see a brown haired male with wide eyes wearing a uniform I immediately recognized as Seirin's, "I've met you before haven't I?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I'm Furihata Kouki," he said timidly.

"Come on then," I said to both of them, feeling the need to lead because I was the oldest, "There's no shame in getting lost."

Aomine's POV:

Where the hell was he? He said he got to the building, but then that he got lost. How do you get lost, there are signs everywhere. I finally just texted him to make his way outside and I would wait for him. So here I am, waiting for him. Maybe this whole thing was a bad idea, I mean Kei doesn't even play any sports. I'm sure he finds this boring as shit, but I don't know what else to do. Too much time was passing, it'd been weeks since we saw each other. I kept hoping maybe he'd climb up on the roof one day and have lunch with me, but on the other hand what would we talk about? I thought about inviting him to a movie, but I don't know which kind he likes, or what type of food he likes. The only thing I know he likes is anime but I know next to nothing about that. Even though he probably won't like this I couldn't help myself, I missed him and I wanted to see him. "Hey, you're Aomine Daiki right?" I heard someone next to me say.

He was a player from Shutoku, "Yeah, what's it to you?" I replied.

He smiled slyly and looked at me out of the corner of his eye, "Oh nothing, just wondering what you're doing out here."

"Waiting for someone," I answered gruffly.

"Oh what a coincidence, I'm waiting for someone too," he laughed and went silent, eyeing me again.

When I heard the doors open, I thought that it might be one of this guy's teammates and hopefully he'd leave me the hell alone, but it was Kagami. And he just had to come up to us. "Hey Kagami," the black haired Shutoku player said, "What are you doing?"

"We lost one of my teammates," Kagami answered, taking the time to glare at me.

I glared back as the guy laughed, "We did too, we lost Shin-chan."

Kagami looked startled, "Midorima?"

"Yeah, he wandered off never to be heard from again," the guy laughed and then turned to me again, "So Aomine, you have a girlfriend?"

I was caught off guard by his comment, "No," I grumbled.

"Do you consider yourself to be a good boyfriend?" he asked.

What the fuck is this guy's deal? Who the hell asks shit like that? "Takao, what's with the weird questions?" Kagami asked him.

Takao turned to Kagami, "Weird? They're pretty normal to me, oh, is that? SHIN-CHAN!" he started waving at an approaching figure who I recognized as Midorima.

I could care less about Midorima, I was more focused on the figure next to him. Mesmerized would be a better word than focused. Kei had told me he was at a stuffy event, but I hadn't completely prepared myself to see him in a suit. True to form, Kei was wearing our school colors, a simple black suit with a blood red collared shirt underneath. The suit seemed to hug every fucking curve on his body and he looked sexy as hell. I wish I could tell him that and watch his face turn as red as his shirt. "Kei-chan!" I heard that guy named Takao yell as he went up to him and gave him a hug.

"Kazu," my brow furrowed as Kei responded with a pet name.

I glared at the annoying Takao as he released Kei from the hug. I was not okay with him touching Kei, and I certainly was not okay with him referring to him so affectionately. "I believe this belongs to you," Kei said to Kagami as a smallish guy emerged from behind him and skittered over to Kagami.

"Thanks," Kagami said and left with the guy in tow.

I turned my head back to Takao, "Shin-chan, I hope you weren't mean to Kei-chan. He's my best friend you know," I heard him say.

A small sigh of relief escaped from my lips, so they were just friends. Midorima's face crinkled in distaste, "I should've known it was your doing when he called me by that disgusting name."

"Shin-chan's such a tsundere, he really loves my nickname," I heard him whisper to Kei.

"Let's go Takao," Midorima said sternly, "I left my lucky item with Kimura and I don't feel secure without it."

"I'm coming, I'm coming, but let me lead the way. You already got lost once," Takao said running to Midorima.

Kei looked at me, "Sorry about getting here so late."

"I-t's fine," I coughed, trying to figure out how to talk to him in that suit.

"Thanks for inviting me," he said smiling.

I looked him over, there were no visible marks from his meeting with Akashi but I wonder how he's doing emotionally, "Should we go in?" he asked me.

I smiled softly, "Yeah. You'll like this game, Midorima only shoots three pointers," I said walking beside him.

"So if he was the only one to score on his team it'd be divisible by three?" he asked.

I chuckled, "Yeah."

"Do you think they'd do that if I went and asked?" he asked me with big eyes and I almost didn't have the heart to tell him no.

Aomine's POV:

I never thought this day would come. As Satsuki opened the door in front of us I felt a unique sense of the tables being turned. "How did you get his key again?" I asked walking into the apartment.

Satsuki turned to me, "From his stalker."

"How do you know he has a stalker?" I asked her.

"How do I know the vital statistics of almost a third of all male high school students in Japan?" she asked me like it was obvious.

I rolled my eyes, "It's so neat," Satsuki commented as she walked over to the door.

"No," I said quickly jumping in front of her, "I'll do it."

"Jeez," she said taking a step back as I opened the door only enough so I could slip through.

My eyes were assaulted by anime as soon as I walked in the room, and I felt like I made the right call in not letting Satsuki come in. The only reason I'd ever seen Kei's room was because I forced my way in. I walked over to his bed, his blanket was at his waist and he was shirtless. The body pillow he was hugging in his sleep distracted me from his half naked form for about thirty seconds, but I soon found myself blushing at Kei's body. I touched his shoulder in an attempt to wake him up, but ended up running my hand down his back in awe of how soft his skin was. He shivered and buried his face further into the pillow, "You better not be doing anything weird in there," I heard Satsuki say from the other side of the door I and jerked my hand back.

I recovered quickly and shook his shoulder saying, "Kei."

His face scrunched up cutely before he blinked his eyes slowly, "Aomine?" he asked confused.

I didn't reply because I was too busy admiring Kei's eyes, this is one of the few times I've seen him without his glasses on and I was able to see just how pretty they were. He rubbed his eyes and grabbed his glasses, "What are you doing here?" he asked while yawning.

I smirked evilly, "Getting revenge."

"What?" he asked cocking his head.

"Since you seem to like tracking me down and forcing me to do things, I thought I could do the same to you for a change. Grab an extra pair of clothes and come outside," I said.

"Wait, what are we doing?" he asked.

"Satsuki's family and mine are going camping in the mountains. You're coming," I answered.

"Are you sure you want me to come along? I've never been camping before," he said in an unsure tone.

"Be ready in five minutes," I ordered as I walked out of the room.

Three hours later, and I wished Kei was a little more athletic than he was. It's not like he was holding anyone up, he was just hanging back with Satsuki, her mom, and my mom while I was stuck up ahead with Satsuki's father and mine. I invited him because I wanted to spend time with him, but I hadn't been able to talk to him since we started our hike to the campsite. I couldn't hang back with him because then my dad would ask why I was lagging and it's not like I could say I wanted to be near the guy I love. Satsuki's mother wasn't helping, she of course loved Kei like everyone does, but she was practically trying to marry him and Satsuki off right there and it was pissing me off.

I was grateful when we finally reached the campsite, "Daiki, why don't you and Kei go down to the river and try to catch something for dinner while the rest of us set up," my dad suggested.

I nodded, "I doubt your dad knows he's being the ultimate wingman right now," Satsuki whispered to me.

"Shut up," I hissed at her as Kei came up to me.

"What are we catching?" Kei asked as he followed me down to the river.

"Maybe some fish, probably mostly crayfish," I answered.

"Crayfish? Are they going to be alive?" he asked.

I chuckled, "Yeah, why?"

He frowned, "They scare me."

I couldn't help but laugh at that point, "They're not even the size of your hand, why are you scared of them?"

He flushed red, "It's their claws, I feel like they're plotting something."

I smiled, "I'm good at catching them, so just look out for the occasional fish."

He nodded as we arrived at the body of water, "It's so pretty, I understand why you spent a lot of time here when you were a kid."

"Yeah," I said admiring the rushing river and sunny, cloudless sky with him, "Enjoy it now, it's gonna get too cold to camp in a couple weeks."

"Yeah, I guess we're lucky the warm spell has lasted this long," he said laughing.

"Yeah," I responded quietly.

Kei's POV:

I was enjoying the scenery of the river while Aomine set things up when I heard him curse and jump behind me. I looked at him curiously, "What's the matter?" I asked him.

He looked at me, "There's a bee."

I laughed, "So? Don't tell me you're scared of-"

"I hate bees," he said.

"There's no need to be scared, they're more frightened of you than you are of them," I reassured him.

"Bullshit," he growled.

Just as he finished saying that, the bee he was talking about buzzed over and landed smoothly on his neck. "Aomine, be still," I told him as his eyes went wide.

"Don't tell me that," he growled.

"They're not even the size of your hand, why are you scared of them?" I said sarcastically.

One glare from Aomine told me my joke was not appreciated, "Okay, just hold on," I said leaning into him and softly blowing on his neck.

"W-what are you doing?" Aomine asked.

"It's a trick I learned, they don't sting you if you blow on them to get them off," I explained as the bee flew away peacefully.

"Where'd you learn that?," he asked rubbing his neck.

"The internet, this was my first time trying it out. I guess it works," I said smiling.

Aomine frowned at me and went back to grabbing different things that I had no idea what they were. I watched on curiously as he cursed again, preparing myself for another bee attack. He turned to me, "I forgot the net at the site."

I stood up from the rock I was sitting on, "I'll go back and get it."

He gave me a concerned look, "Are you sure?"

I nodded at him and headed into the slightly wooded area we'd come from. As I walked I couldn't help but feel how hot my cheeks were beginning to get. Even though it was a completely platonic gesture, being that close to Aomine still flustered the heck out of me. Although that was partially his fault, he'd been so affectionate lately. Or at least affectionate for him, he'd hugged me like twice now...maybe-

I was so caught up in my thoughts I ran face first into a tree. I rubbed my throbbing forehead and decided to take it as a sign; don't let yourself fall for straight guys. It was at that exact moment that I realized that I'd wandered off the trail and had no idea where I was. Even though all of the nature survival shows said staying in one place was the best way to get found, I decided to try and find the trail myself.

I was not successful, I just ended up walking in what seemed like a never ending circle. After some time passed, I heard shouting and a ray of hope flashed before my eyes. That ray of hope came in the form of teenage boys that ran right by me, "Wait, isn't that…" I began to ask out loud before I turned to what they were running from.

"Why the hell aren't you running!?" I rugged looking brown haired man yelled at me.

It wasn't the fact that he was yelling at me that had me fearing for my life, it was the gun he was waving around. "Well?!" he shouted, pointing the gun at me.

I put my hands up, "I don't know what's going on," I said.

"Mr. Aida! Kei's not on our team!" a familiar face said running up to us.

"Thank you Furihata," I said in relief.

"Why'd you stop running?" Mr. Aida yelled at Furihata.

"Sorry Kei," he said to me as he ran past quickly.

Mr. Aida scratched the back of his head with his gun, "Sorry kid, you were tall so I just assumed…"

"It's fine," I said smiling, "But do you think you could point me to the trail?" I asked him.

"Right's the main trail and left is the river," he said walking by me.

I decided to go left so I could get back to Aomine, I hope I hadn't worried him or anything. I reached the river easily enough and just walked North from there until I saw him in the distance. Running up to him I realized it wasn't Aomine, but his dad, "There you are, I knew you'd find your way back," he said once he noticed me.

"I got a little lost," I said.

He nodded and said gruffly, "I kept telling Daiki someone as big as you would be fine in the woods, but he insisted on running after you and left me to catch dinner, last time I saw him he was further up the trail."

I nodded, "I'm gonna go find him."

"Just don't get lost again," he said laughing as I left him.

Five minutes later I was making my way up the mountain when I heard my name being called by a voice that was unmistakably Aomine's. I yelled back and he appeared soon after, running up to me and pulling me into a hug so tight it actually lifted me off the ground, "Don't do that again," he said breathlessly.

Aomine's POV:

"Don't do that again," I breathed into Kei's ear.

Kei grabbed my shirt, "I'm sorry."

I let him go, "You have dirt on your forehead," I observed.

"Is it gone?" he asked, rubbing it with his arm.

"No," I answered, licking my thumb and cleaning the dirt off, "There."

He blushed, "Thanks."

I smirked at him, "Come on, I think dinner's ready."

After a warm meal and after Satsuki's and my parents went to go sleep in their tents Kei turned to me and Satsuki, "There's not another tent?" he asked.

We smiled at him, "There's a reason why I like camping in the mountains more than anywhere else," I said, pulling him onto a small hill where Satsuki had made all of our sleeping bags into one mattress.

"Wow," Kei said looking up at the sky.

"It's better when you lay down," I said motioning for him to lay down in between Satsuki and I.

I grinned as he looked up wide eyed, I know exactly what he's feeling. It's one of the reasons I love it here so much. A completely unobstructed view of a black starry night is what he was seeing, and looking up makes you feel like there's nothing but empty space around you. "I think he liked it," Satsuki said.

"Yeah," I said looking at Kei's now sleeping face.

"I still think you should tell him," she said.

"I thought we already talked about this," I scowled.

"I've seen the way he looks at you and I can't keep my mouth shut anymore. Aomine-kun, he wouldn't blush every time you touch him if he only saw you as a friend," she said.

"Just drop it," I said.

Kei made a small noise in his sleep and rolled over into my chest, "God has spoken," Satsuki said.

"Shut up," I grumbled.

"Well he didn't roll over to cuddle with me," she said as I wrapped an arm around Kei.

Aomine's POV:

It was hard for me to get through the next month and a half because coach was having us practice every spare moment, and Kei had encouraged me to go. I felt he was right when he told me Seirin had been practicing hard and I should try to prepare too. I almost can't believe I was allowing myself to get excited about the upcoming game we had with them.

I did get through it though, and that was because I suggested that Kei teach Satsuki how to cook and that meant he started hanging around the gym during practice. It was a positive for me on all points; Satsuki's food was still horrible, but I got to see Kei, eat his food, and make Wakamatsu uncomfortable.

After all that, it was finally the day of the game and I just wanted to hurry up and win this one and the one after that. After I'm done with all this shit, I can have time to spend with Kei. Akashi had called a meeting for all of the generation of miracles, so I had to deal with that before I could even play. I was surprised to see Kagami trailing behind Tetsu, he obviously has never met Akashi. I grew amused as Kagami and Akashi got into it and watched passively as Akashi borrowed Midorima's scissors and used them to cut his bangs and then assaulted Kagami. "Kei," I heard Akashi say.

The blonde had been walking up the stairs, completely oblivious to our presence. "Akashi," he said in greeting as he walked up to us.

"Taiga, what happened to your cheek?" he asked the redhead and then his eyes traveled to Akashi and the scissors he was holding.

My lax posture was gone as I walked over to Kei and stood by him protectively, "Hey Kei," Kagami said.

"Sakamoto-kun," Tetsu said.

"Kei-kun," Satsuki said happily.

"Keicchi," Kise said excitedly.

"Kei," Midorima acknowledged as he pushed up his glasses.

"Moto-chin," Murasakibara said lazily.

"Hello," he greeted all of them back and then turned to me, "I'm going to go find a seat up front. Good luck!" he said smiling and then scampered up the stairs.

"Was that Kei?" another Seirin teammate asked behind Kagami.

I was tempted to ask how the hell everyone seemed to know Kei, but I decided to let it drop. Kei was nice, he knew a lot of people; right now I needed to focus on the game ahead.

Kei's POV:

Aomine and Taiga's match was electric from the very beginning, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I was so enthralled by those two, I didn't even pay attention to the scoreboard until I heard the buzzer indicate that it was the end of the game. Aomine's shocked expression told me that Seirin had won, and when I looked at the score they'd defeated us by one point. Looking back at Aomine, I didn't know what to feel; on one hand I felt bad for him but I also felt like he need to lose.

Seeing him and Kuroko bump fists reassured me that it was a good thing, but I couldn't stop worrying about Aomine as I watched him walk off the court in a very catatonic way. I rushed from the stands and found him in the hall outside the Touou locker room. "Aomine?" I asked softly.

He looked at me, "Are you okay?" I asked him.

"I don't know," he replied in a whisper.

"I don't know," he repeated, "I don't know, I don't know what I'm supposed to be if I'm not the ace."

I smiled and stood next to him, leaning on the wall, "You're Aomine. And just because we lost doesn't mean you're not the ace anymore. And I said we for a reason, you're not alone even if you feel like it. You're part of a team, you're part of a school. Stop taking everything on all by yourself."

He grabbed my hand and squeezed it as a few tears ran down his face, "So you're not disappointed?" he asked me.

"Of course not, you're the most talented person I've ever met Aomine. Nothing will change that," I said smiling at him.

After I finished that sentence Aomine was suddenly in front of me. And then his arms were suddenly around my waist. And suddenly his lips were on mine. My eyes widened in shock before I slowly closed them and wrapped my arms around his neck. The question of why he was doing this ran through my mind, but my own pounding heartbeat drowned it out. My face grew hot and I felt like my stomach had left my body and there was a huge void in my abdomen as Aomine broke the kiss and buried his face in my neck. "I'm sorry Kei, couldn't help it," I shivered as he whispered in my ear.

He removed himself from my body and looked me in the eye," I love you."

I almost went completely deaf with shock, how did he feel this way and I didn't notice? He started saying something about how he understands I don't feel the same way, so I grabbed him by his jersey and gently pulled him into another kiss. "Don't assume things," I said letting him go.

He gave me a surprised look before smirking smugly, "I'm taking you on a date on Sunday."

I blushed and smiled softly, "I'm looking forward to it."

Hi there, I just want to thank all the people who read/favorite/follow this story, especially the people who review. To imacchi11229, yeah, Aomine's pretty lucky he was able to provide some fluff last chapter or his ass would've been in the doghouse for a long time and I'm glad you liked Kei's reaction to his nickname. To Keelan1210, yes, the mystery scent has finally been revealed lol, and as you can probably see from this chapter, Aomine's patience lasted for about a minute. To Bob, thank you and I'm happy you liked Aomine's sweetness last chapter, and the more jealousy is coming, so much more jealousy. To Morning-Star57, I'm glad you liked it, and that was a precious moment with Momoi at the end I'm happy you found it funny. To Soysuke, thank you so much, that was so nice and I'm super happy that you like it this much. To Guest, thank you so much, I felt like Aomine had to be the first one to realize because Kei pretty much viewed Aomine as the quintessential straight guy so I'm glad that turned out okay. And oh my gosh, the coach being his ex would've been so dramatic, that would've been so beautiful, but I'm glad you're okay with Wakamatsu.
