The Silent Joker

24(completed)

"M/n!" Riko and Koganei hugged you tightly while you pat their heads softly, unbothered by their actions. "Who's our first opponent?" Everyone looked at each other then back at you. You took notice of their face expression, it was so tense it was slightly making you feel the same way. "Touou." You slowly nodded and then Kagami and Kuroko arrived, "I'm here!" Kagami then got slapped by Riko, "You idiot! Answer my calls!!" "Ouch..." Kagami and you now looked at each other. The team raised an eyebrow at how tensely the two of you stared at each other, "D-Did something happen between the two of them...?" Koganei whispered to Mitobe, who shrugged his shoulders.

"I only want to play him." Kagami's words made Riko widened her eyes, "Woah, calm down Kagami-kun! M/n has to have his time to shine as well-" "No, let him play. I don't want to be on the same court as Aomine." Your team quiet down at your request. "Did you train as I told you?" Kagami rolled his eyes, "Yeah, my trainer was super happy when she saw your paper...fucking asshole...making me do extra work." You hmd at the last mumbles coming from Kagami, who sat down and tied his shoes. Kuroko looked at you with a smile, "It's nice to see you again, M/n-kun." "Yeah, same here."

'Has he gone ahead...?'

Walking to the stadium, both teams were greeted by the crowd that cheered from excitement and enthusiasm. Seirin were awkwardly looking around at the tense arena while Touou walked in as if they were use to and unbothered by the actions.

"Aomine's the man!"

"There's no one who can beat him 1-on-1!"

"Are you kidding!? You see that number 12 on Seirin?! He basically won last match the two team went head to head!"

"You think they're going to put him in for the whole game?"

"They have too! If not, it's already a lost game for Seirin!"

"Both teams, make your way to the court!!!"

"Damn it, I lost my beautiful girls..." Your father cursed under his breath, but then widened his eyes at the sight of two familiar figures near the empty seat he was about to sit down. "Oujiyama!?" They both said, but your father shushed them, looking around if anyone hear his name. But grandly the crowd was loud, so he sighed in relief and pulled his mask down to greet the two familiar older males, "Jeez, don't be shouting my name like that! I could've been attacked by my fans!" Nakatani and Kagetora glared at Oujiyama, who laughed and sat down. "Oh, is that your team, ma-boy?" Nakatani sighed, "Yeah..." "Yo." Your father greeted as the Shutoku team was left in shock that the fact a famous person was right there near them. An idol of many young basketball players. "Look, Kati-Chan is there!" Your father widened your eyes, "What, where?" He looked towards were Kagetora pointed and began to laugh along with him, making Nakatani annoyed. "No wonder they're strong." "Anyways, why are you even here, Oujiyama." He hmd and smirked, "I came here to see my son, but seems like he's not going to play." The crowd of boys widened their eyes. Ootori cleared his throat, "S-Sir, if you don't mind me asking, who exactly is your son?" "Well the boy that looks like me! M/n!" Midorima snapped his head towards you. "YOU'RE KIDDING!?"

"You know what...it makes sense. He's a monster, just like you..." Nakatani groan as your father laughed. "Just so you know, I almost killed your son for being near my Princess!" Your father laughed at Kagetora's comment.

"Oh look! It's finally-huh?"

The crowd widened their eyes at the sight of you sitting, without your court uniform, on the bench with an expression of unbothered. Then they looked at Riko who was sweating from nerves.

"Seirin isn't putting him?!!"

"They're crazy!!"

Aomine had his mini conversations with both Kuroko and Kagami, which ended surprisingly very oddly to his liking. He then turn his head towards you and glared, and you knew why. He was clearly mad about last times conversation, and the fact that it was true. Aomine made his way in front of you, "Are you really not going to play?" "Aomine, go back to the court!" His coach shouted nervously as the crowd began to murmur.

"Are you seeing this?"

"Aomine basically rejected number 10!"

"Ouch!"

"Come on, put number 12 in!!!"

"Yeah!"

Riko tense at everyone's shout then she looked at you, "Yeah, is there a problem?" Aomine tighten his fist from anger, "No..." He then made his was back in line, signaling the referee to continue.

Your father laughed, "That's my son for ya!" Kagetora raised an eyebrow, "Why isn't your son playing, is his knee still injured, I don't see him with a supporter or crutches." "Nah, he just doesn't want to play." "HAGH!?" Shutoku and Kagetora widened their eyes at your fathers comment. "He wants to see the monster he has created in action."

"And now, the match between Seirin High School and Touou Academy...will commence!"

"Let's have a clean match!!"

The game started with the tip off being won by Kiyoshi and Izuki gets the ball. Izuki dribbles the ball further very fast, but Touou takes the chance and stops Seirin with a pressure defense. Izuki tried to pass, but the ball got stolen by Sakurai, who then shoots the ball towards the hoop, giving Aomine the alley-oop and the first score. Riko clenched her teeth tightly and signals everyone for the second order, to use Kuroko's new pass to get a second assault. Looking at Riko, you nod your head and watched the game, "That's a brave move, but don't you think it's a little too early to use it?" Riko glared at you, "Then what do you suggest to do?" You looked back at Riko and sighed, "Give Hyuuga the ball for him to keep making three pointers. It's a smart move for just the first half of the game." Riko widened her eyes then the sound of a ball being dunk made her turn back to look at the game. Kagami had dunked on Wakamatsu.

Imayoshi dribbled the ball up court and gives a pass to Yoshinori, who scored a lay up. "That's a smart move. Due to that guys height difference between Kuroko, it made him unstoppable to steal the ball." Riko groan, "Are you cheering for them, or us!?" "The team who wins, Seirin." Riko relaxed from your words and sighed. "I believe in you and our team. So no matter what your prediction was going to be, I believed on our team more!" "Yeah...I know." Riko smirked, "No shut up and become an assistant coach while you're at it!" You rolled your eyes and nodded, but your gaze landed on your father, who smirked wide at you, 'Why isn't he with my mom?'
