Imperfect match // Daiki Aomine (Kuroko no Basuke)

4. Being a girl

Once in the gym, they split and Jordan takes them through each exercise switching between them efficiently.

At the end of the short session, she still feels worn out for the intensive new routine.

"Are there showers here?"

"Yes, end of the corridor. They are mixed but they have individual cubicles." Jordan says.

"Cool. Thanks for today." She picks up her things and walks past Aomine who is wiping his face with the bottom of his tshirt, lifting the fabric to display his tight abs. Feeling distracted by the view, she forgets what she wanted to say. "See... See... I mean. See you tomorrow."

"Sure." He answers puzzled by her stutter which he hadn't noticed before.

It's not the first time she sees a man's chest or abs. What is wrong with her? She was just not expecting this.

After finding the washroom, she chooses a cubicle, drops her things in the recess which should keep them dry and gets undressed after turning the water on. The pressure is good and the water hot. Better than the small shower in her tiny apartment.

The main door of the changing room closing loudly surprises her and she's a little nervous that someone else is there. She's not from that department. Is it okay for her to be there?

Someone else is definitely there too?

Her cubicle door is locked so she should be fine.

Maybe she should have waited to get home but she was desperate to get clean after sweating so much.

Steps get closer until the door next to hers opens. She sees shadow travelling under the dividing wall, hears the rustling of clothes and the shower being turned on.

Is it Aomine? Must be... It could be anyone! Although it's a bit late now and students will have gone home. She just needs to focus on her shower and relax. She's done for the day. It was a busy day and if they all end up like that, she'll get tired out soon. Early night tonight! But if it means she gets to jump higher then it will all be worth it. Need to focus. Need to focus.

A really loud deep sigh, limit a moan, coming from next door startles her and she stops breathing, unexpectedly feeling goosebumps all over her body which she was washing.

The depth of that voice is definitely Aomine's.

The sound of water spitting, makes her visualise him washing his face under the dropping water.

Rinsing herself, she is so focused on hearing more of the exciting sounds from next door, that she doesn't realise she's moved closer to the partition.

She hears another sigh and what sounds like him gasping for air after submerging his face under the pressurised water.

Hearing the water dropping, she imagines it sliding down on his face, his neck, his shoulders and chest, remembering the earlier glimpse of his abs and when she finally sees her hand reaching for the wall, she startles herself.

Is she a pervert or something? What is wrong with her? Feeling hotter than ever from embarrassment, yet glad not to have been caught, she hurries to finish her shower, dries herself and prays to be finished before he comes out.

As she gets dressed very clumsily still a little wet for having rushed, she hears his shower stop and opens her door abruptly, swinging her bag over her shoulder as she stuffs her towel in it, before disappearing out of the changing rooms.

With her hair still dripping wet, the top of her t-shirt humid, she leaves the building. Why does she feel hotter now than she did earlier when she was exercising? Was it worth it to have a shower? Well yes it was, she smirks. Damn! She's a pervert. Her smirk drops.
