The Emperor and his Dragon (Akashi Seijurou x SMR)

Chapter 10

After winning Interhigh with ease under Y/n's lead, Rakuzan was immediately signed up for Winter Cup. No need for worries for eliminations. Not that they would have to worry anyway. They were so scary to other teams, that no one wanted to have a sparring match with them. Everyone knew they would get destroyed, so there was no point for that. It would be like throwing a piece of meat to the bunch of lions.

Y/n was feeling like a child in the toys tore, he will have the official match to play soon. That vibe was felt by the whole team, but Y/n just couldn't contain himself. He craved a battle. Maybe he should call Aomine, he got better recently after all...

-You know that we will win easily. - said Seijurou, amused with Y/n's behavior. - No need to practice that much.

-I don't care! - he grinned and jumped up to shoot a three-pointer. - We will go to the semi-finals, where I will have my fun. I need to get tired.

-He's like an excited puppy.- chuckled Kotarou.

-Rakuzan against Y/n, we have to calm him down. - said Nebuya.

-No, he would destroy yourself-esteem. - answered Akashi, making Y/n laugh.

-He doesn't mean it guys. -he said chuckling. - You are great. - Eikichi and Kotarou smiled at him.

-Does that mean that Sei-chan just joked? - asked Reo.

-No. - said Akashi.

-Yes. - Y/n corrected him.

After that, the coach arrived and divided them in two teams. Seijurou had Chihiro and Reo, while Kotarou and Eikichi were with Y/n. Y/n and Seijurou smirked at each other. Then the match got started. Seijurou and Y/n used the teamwork, but soon the two were on their own pace, no one could keep up with them. Their coach saw that, so stopped the match and switched the teams to involve everyone in the game.

-Akashi and L/n against the Kings and Mayuzumi. - he said.

The three kings glanced at Y/n, who had a sadistic smirk on his face. Y/n stretched up a bit, as he walked up to Reo, who was standing in the middle of the court. Mibuchi was taller than Y/n, but that wasn't a problem for him.

-Don't worry, I'll be gentle. - he said lowly.

-I think I'm gay. - muttered Kotarou, amusing everyone but the coach, Chihiro and a certain captain. For some reason Akashi glared at Kotarou, making him shut up.

Then the game started. Y/n jumped to the ball, stealing it away from Reo. He immediately got to the attack. Y/n grinned as he saw Reo and Eikichi trying to stop him. He expected the ball may be stolen from him by Kotarou or Chihiro, so he looked for Akashi. He passed him the ball quickly. Seijurou caught it and threw the ball in the direction of the basket. He knew it wouldn't reach it from that spot on the court. It didn't have to. The Dragon jumped up and slammed the ball in the basket.

-Do you have some springs in your legs? - asked Kotarou.

-Last time I checked, it was only muscles. - Y/n answered.

-Ei-chan has bigger muscles than you. - said Reo.

-I make full use out of them. - Y/n was still smirking.

Y/n and Seijurou were unbeatable. They were tired, after all they were outnumbered by Rakuzan team. But they were the strongest players of that team, so they were still standing. The rest of the team was on the floor, sitting or laying down flat on their back, completely exhausted.

-Did you calm down a bit? - asked Akashi. - Look at what you did.

-I calmed down a tiny little bit. - Y/n said, then took a sip of water.- It was a good practice, but I need more. And I didn't do it by myself.

-You're a monster. - said Eikichi.

-It's called stamina. - chuckled Y/n – Plus, do you think my nickname was given to me just because it sounded good? - he added.

-It suits you. - added Reo.

-Thank you. - Y/n responded with a smile. - Now let's play some more. - he joked.

-NO! - the Uncrowned Kings protested all together.
