The Silent Joker

27(completed)

You were starting to get bored. Riko and the team agreed to not let you participate in the upcoming games, in order for Seirin to grow stronger without you. It sounded horrible, but you're an understanding person and also accepted their request.

Winter Cup Third Day

The game against Nakamiya started horribly against your team. The second years of Seirin were slowly beginning to crumble as they all missed their shots and passes, but that quickly made its turn of faith once Riko had slapped every single one them to their sense. Literally...

The game ended with Seirin winning 88-77

The fourth day, Seirin started with an advantage the whole game, but fell off in the third quarter. Riko added Kagami and Kuroko which they made a comeback and won the game. 87-82

Walking out of the stadium, you took out your phone and looked at the time. Right as you were about to walk down the stairs and leave, you spotted Alex by herself not too far from where you're standing at the moment. You planned to not make your way towards her, but you saw how sad she looked. Taking a deep sigh you walked towards a near by vending machine and got a couple of drinks.

"I'm not to ask, but are you alright?" Alex widened her eyes as she looked up at you. There you were holding a drink towards her as she accepted it and sighed. You were not good at confronting or making others comfortable, but you sat down next to her on the steps that lead towards the inside of the gymnasium. She opened the drink and drank it until it was half way. You didn't say much as you just left your drink unopened incase she wanted more. "Am I a bad teacher?" Alex turn to look at you, but you only looked at the sky with a bored expression. "No, you're amazing at your skills." Alex smiled comfortably and leaned her head to your arm, "Seems like both my pupils are not getting quite along..." "I'm sure it's because of their own reasons. That's something you shouldn't get involved and for them to solve on their own." Alex didn't say anything, making you slightly tense. Have you already said something wrong? You weren't so confidence in these types of things, but you also don't care much about what the other person think. But why is it that you worry about her opinion? Alex hmd and closed her eyes with a smile. "Just be there for both of them. I'm sure that's enough  for them to know that you love them equally."

"Yeah, I'm sure."

Alex sat up straight and wrapped her arm around your neck, bringing your head to her height, "You flirt! I knew you liked me!!" You blushed from embarrassment, "No I do not! You pedo!!" Alex laughed as she then calmed down, staring at you seriously now. You raised an eyebrow at the sudden change of emotion and silently waited for her to speak. "Thank you." Your eyes slightly widened, but they soon relaxed at her warm expression. "You're-" Alex kissed you as you quickly pushed her away, "WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THAT?!" Alex laughed as she hugged you tighter making you groan, "MARRY ME, M/N!!" "NO!!"

Silently standing on your own at the end of the stairs, Alex had walked away long ago as you were by yourself, hands inside your joggers pockets, while wind only blew the strands of your hair. The silence was not too long as it was shortened by the sound of steps from behind you. "Oh?" Taking a short glance up the stairs, your e/c eyes sharpened at the sight of Yosen looking down at you. One that you assume is the captain stood in front of them all as the the tallest were behind him. Indeed, one looked familiar to you. 'Murasakibara...or is that his name?' "It is not a surprise that you're not longing behind your team, M/n." "L/n." Okamura raised an eyebrow, "What?" Turning completely around, your glaring eyes had send the males a chill, "You have no right to be calling me by my given name. L/n is fine." Fukui pulled Okamura back, from saying any harsh words, and sighed, "You-"  "You could've said it nicely, no?" Murisakibara stood in front of you now. Of course, he was taller than you, so he only bowed down as to make fun of your height difference. "You got the wrong person to be saying that to. I'm not the one who disrespectfully call me by my name with no relation, was I?" Your forehead bumped into his as now Murasakibara glared daggers at you. "Murisakibara!" The tall male pulled away as he frowned at the scene of him getting scolded. You on the other hand turned around and started your walk. Himuro silently stared at your form as Fukui stood next to him.

"I'm indeed excited to see those two go head to head..." Fukui raised an eyebrow, "Murasakibara and L/n, or Kagami?" Himuro smiled warmly, "Whichever one."

Sitting in your living room, you silently glared at the TV of Yosen's game. Your father sat near you as he only crossed his arms and had the same expression. "They're strong." He broke the silence. You gave him a nod as a respond. The game only continue to get worst, making both you and your father even more tense. "Are you almost donnnnnnnnne~!" Your mother whined as she only stood ready to go out. Your father huffed and stood up, "M/n, this is something you have to do. I predict that your team will not be able to make a single point for the first quarter." You leaned back at your couch and didn't say anything, your father took notice of your expression and only shivered at how terrifying it look. Your mother also took notice as she frown, "I'll wait for you on the car." She walked away. Your father made his way to turn off the TV and looked at you, "Don't over think this." Your father bend down to pull out a cushion from the couch and pulled out a box full with CD's. "Here. Go upstairs and watch them on your computer." You raised an eyebrow, "Whats this?" Your father rubbed his chin with a smirk, "My prized processions!" You squinted your eyes as your father blushed, "Don't look at me like that! They're not porn!" "Yeah, right!" You father began to slap you, "They're not! Now go upstairs and watch them!" Your father ran out like an anime girl crying and locked the front door. You rolled your eyes and did as told.

Let's just say, you were shocked to see how amazing your father was. "We will start at full speed!" Riko said as she bend down in front of your team. You blinked twice and shook your head violently to come back to your sense. You wore the court uniform, but you weren't starting. Your team were relaxed as they began to give each other small praises. "Go Seirin!" Murasakibara stared at your way as now the stand off between each stare down has gotten worst between the two of you. Both teams, and anyone who's notice the tension of you two were beginning to get scared.

"Did something happen between those two?" Hyuuga asked as Teppei could only shrug, "I'm more confuse than you are..." Riko bit the inside of her cheek, 'I should've added him first....'

During the Tip Off, Murasakibara obviously out jumps Kiyoshi which Yosen had the advantage, although, it was a overrule due to jumping at maximum height. So luck inverted to Seirin as they started with the ball. 'This is going to start awfully odd...' Murasakibara scuffed.
