KNB Seven Minutes in Heaven

A Soda Tab

A soda tab? You look closer at the item in your hand, puzzled by who would've put this in the hat. You look around as Riko asks,

"Whose item is the soda tab?"

Aomine stands up, "that's mine." A smirk playing on his lips.

You feel your face flush as you could tell everyone was staring at you to see your reaction. Riko pulls you from your seat.

"Off you go!" she softly nudges you towards the broom closet.

This is so embarrassing, 

the thought crosses your mind as Aomine strolls into the closet without a care in the world. You follow behind him and the door's shut behind you.

The room was so dark you could barely see your hand in front of your face. You reach out your hands, trying to find the wall so you can sit down, but your hands come into contact with the soft fabric of a t-shirt.

"Well, hello there." Aomine's voice is close to your ear.

You feel your chest tighten, "I'm looking for the wall!"

"No need to make excuses just so you can touch me."

"Sush! I just want to sit against the wall, I can't see anything."

"Yeah, that's because it's dark."

"AOMINE!"

"Fine, fine."

You feel Aomine take your arm and lead you to the wall, once there you press your back against it and slide to the floor.

That's much better.

You sense Aomine sit next to you. It was quiet for a few moments before you hear him shift positions. It feels as though he's looking at you, but your eyes hadn't adjusted yet, so you couldn't really tell.

"How's Seirin?" His tone seems nonchalant.

"I like it so far. Everyone on the team is great. A few weeks ago we went to a haunted house, it was really fun! Well..." you scratched your cheek, "a lot of the boys were really scared, except Kuroko of course, but it was a lot of fun. We had watermelon afterwards, Kagami ate a WHOLE one by himself! I just shared some with Kuroko, though, since we both eat like birds."

"Sounds like you're really enjoying yourself." you could swear you heard a hint of sadness in his voice.

"What have you been up to?"

"Not much really, feels like everyday's kinda the same. I haven't really been thinkin' 'bout practice and I'm not really joinin' their group activities, Satsuki literally dragged me to come here. I was plannin' on just stayin' home and takin' a nap..."

He stops momentarily before continuing.

"Y'know, I've been thinkin' 'bout Teiko a lot. I kinda miss how it was back then."

You lean back against the wall, "Yeah, I love Seirin, but sometimes I miss it too. Like when we'd go to that training camp near the lake."

"Yeah. We used to ditch everyone and catch all kinds of animals."

You giggle, "like that time you made a fishing pole from a stick and caught a snake."

"Ah, I thought I was gonna have a heart attack. You were screamin' so loud Midorima came runnin', everyone thought you were dyin'."

Your giggles turn into full laughter, "I was scared, okay! I didn't want it to bite me."

Aomine rests his arm on his leg, "Then there was the time we caught that baby turtle. You thought he was so cute."

"And I made Midorima put him in his lucky box until we got home." You smile, "Y'know I still have him."

"Huh, seriously?"

"Yeah, he got bigger so he's in this huge aquarium in my living room."

Aomine runs a hand through his hair, "I just didn't expect you to keep him."

"Why wouldn't I? When I look at him it reminds me of y-" you stop "reminds me of all the fun at Teiko."

"Y'know. I've really missed you."

"Huh?" His words catch you off guard.

"We were almost always together at Teiko, You me and Satsuki. Now you're at Seirin, I dunno, things don't feel the same. I wanna shoot baskets with you for fun again, get ice pops and..." he trails off.

"Aomine."

"Guess I was ramblin'." Your eyes were adjusting to the darkness more and you could make out his face, he was holding a relaxed hand up to his mouth, as if hiding behind it.

"I miss doing that stuff too."  you said.

He has a look of shock on his face before it changes back to his usual calm demeanor. He leans in close to you, slowly wrapping his arms around your waist. This feeling was so familiar, in this moment you realize just how much you missed it. You rest your hands on his upper arms as you feel his lips press against yours, your heart flutters in your chest.

He pulls away, "I think I missed kissin' you the most."

"Aomine!"

"Call me Dai-chi like you used to."

"So embarrassing." You mumble as he goes in to kiss you once more. He lingers abit longer this time, squeezing you tightly against him.

You hear the latch to the broom closet door click and you quickly push Aomine away from you, a hand covering your mouth, the blush more than likely still prominent on your face.

"Times up!" Riko calls in a cheery voice.

Aomine stands up beside you, "guess it's over. Ah well."

Riko scans the two of you intently before turning around, to allow you access to the room's exit.

Aomine places a hand on your shoulder and leans down to whisper, "Meet me after the party, I wanna continue this later."

You look up at him before nodding and leaving the room to take your seat. This party was fun but you could hardly wait for what was to come after.
