The Second Ace || Aomine x OC (Kuroko no basket)

Chapter 14 : Sick

Third Person's POV

After the win against Serin, the second ace didn't turn up for any games or training. She missed the game against the model Kise as well. Momoi thought it was strange of her to just miss a game with Kise. She was also very worried about Aomine as he got injured during the match against Kise.

"Come on, why aren't you picking up?" Momoi mumbled to herself trying to call Aira but it was sent straight to voicemail.

"Hi, this is Aira, leave a message after the beep,"

~beep~

"Hi! Satsuki here! I haven't heard from you after Serin's game and have never seen you around the school so I am getting worried. Do call me back after you receive the message!" Momoi send the voicemail after saying what she wanted to say.

Meanwhile, on an empty basketball court, the model was practicing. Shooting his shots. He was thinking to himself why didn't Aira show up for the match against him?

After a lot of consideration, he decided to try to call Aira again.

Ring Ring Ring

"What do you want Kise-kun?" The second ace coarse voice could be heard on the other line.

"Ryucchi! You finally picked up!" The model was so happy to be able to hear her voice after so long but he realised something is wrong.

"What happened to your voice?" Kise asks with concern.

"Nothing and don't change the subject, what do you want?" She asks with some coldness in her voice. Instantly Kise could tell she wasn't in a good mood.

"Is it okay if we meet? I'm at the basketball court we always go to last time,"

There was some silence before Aira replied, "Fine. Give me 10 minutes then I'll be there," Just like that, the second ace hangs up.

Kise has to see for himself whether she was really okay but it gave him a bit of relief when she agreed to meet.

10 minutes went by pretty fast and Kise instantly spotted Aira walking towards him.

"What do you want to meet for?" She instantly asks once she stops in front of the model.

"Well nothing, I just wanted to make sure you are okay," Kise replied with a big smile on his face. Instantly, Aira's face went black.

"Seriously, I painfully got out of bed to meet you here and in the end, you said it was nothing? I-" Aira started to cough really badly.

"Ah! Ryucchi are you okay?" Kise ran to her side immediately but Aira moved away.

"I don't want you to get a cold too," Aira stated.

"Cold?" That's when it makes sense. Why didn't she pick up her phone. Why her voice sounds coarse and why she was coughing really badly.

"Have you seen the doctor?" He asks.

Aira shook her head, "Didn't manage to,"

"Eh?! How about your parents? Wouldn't they bring you?"  

"Well, they are out of town for some business trip,"

Immediately, Kise grabbed Aira on the wrist, dragging her along for her to go see a doctor.

"Wh-what are you doing Kise-kun?" She was flustered by his actions.

"Well, I'm bringing you to the hospital," Kise walked towards the streets to try to get a cab.

"You don't have to. What if you get a cold too?" Aira tried to reason with him.

"Too bad then," Aira's eyes went wide.

This was the same situation as 2 years ago.

"Daiki let go of me! What if you get a cold too?!"

"Too bad then!"

All of a sudden, Kise bends down to meet the second ace eye level which made her snap out of her thoughts.

"I have a strong immune system so don't you worry about me," A cheeky smile was plastered on his face.

All Aira did was turned her face away and said, "Whatever,"

The trip to the hospital was okay but as Kise walks more, Aira notices something was wrong. So when Aira was registering herself to see a doctor, she registered Kise too.

"Kise Ryota," The model's name was called out and he was shocked.

"Wait I think there's a mistake, I didn't register myself, and plus I'm not sick," He said to the nurse who called out his name.

Aira walked up to him and simply said, "There's no mistake. I registered you so go and see the doctor baka. I know you got an injury," The second ace crossed her arms to show that she isn't backing down so the model got no other choice but to go and see the doctor. 

Both the model and second ace got through their appointment in no time but Aira got nagged by the doctor a lot. He was saying that she was irresponsible about her health and that if she waited longer, she would have gotten worse.

"You should have seen the doctor earlier," Kise spoke up as they exit the hospital.

"Says the one with a leg injury walking around. Since when did it happen?" Immediately Kise stopped in his tracks.

There was silence before Kise said, "The match against Aominecchi," Aira's eyes went wide with shock.

"Wh-"

"Before you say anything about why I went all out until I got injured, I just want to say that I really want to beat Aominecchi that's why. Ever since middle school, I've always lost to him on a 1vs1 match so just maybe there was a slight hope in me able to defeat him you know," Kise scratches his neck.

"Plus if I was able to beat him maybe he could go back to his old self like you and Kurokocchi wants," He mumbled to himself thinking that Aira would not be able to hear him but she did.

"I'm heading home," Aira Immediately said.

"Nani? Wh-"

"You take care of your leg and don't be reckless with it! You should go home and rest too," She cuts him off, and just like that, she disappeared from Kise's sight.

Kise was left standing there chuckling to himself, "At least there's one part she's still the same. Always worrying about others first before herself."
