#12 The Broken Ace

Author's Note :

Hey guys! Sooo I just wanna say that starting from this chapter I want to make every character has their own part of this story. This one starts from Aomine. I hope you like it :3~

Aomine's POV

It's been a week since that basketball ring incident. But I couldn't keep my mind off of that mess I've made. Since that day, my teammates started to keep their distance from me. It's like they were avoiding me. What's wrong with them? What's wrong with me? Are they afraid of me or something? What did I do wrong?

Every time I think about that problem my heart ached, my head felt heavy and I couldn't think straight. I really don't know what's getting into me. So I decided to just kept practicing and practicing in basketball for who knows how long. Maybe until everyone can forget that incident. It always makes me calmer somehow.

But I couldn't forget the look on their faces that day. They treated me like I'm... Different. I don't know how to describe it, but the way that they look at me was like... Like... Like they're looking at a monster.

I jumped towards the ring and made a basket for the umpteenth time. I'm still panting hard after going through a tough practice as usual. And I must say, I kinda feel a little better now. Although not completely better. At least there were still some of my teammates who still treated me as usual. As their teammate. Not someone else. To be honest it makes me feel quite relieved.

I think.

"Aomine-cchi! Let's play a 3 on 3 game, shall we-ssu?!" Kise ran towards me with a basketball in his hand.

"Hm? Heh, that's new. Usually you always ask me for a 1 on 1 game instead of 3 on 3. What's getting into you all the sudden?" I said.

"Datte~ Aomine-cchi's been acting weird these days. I don't exactly know what was bothering you so I decided to ask you to play basketball with us. Maybe this'll make you better somehow."

".... Hmph, since when that you actually care about me?" I chuckled, "Alright then let's play."

"Yeaah! Finally! Kuroko-cchi, c'mon-ssu! Aomine-cchi just agreed to play with us!" Kise turned around and his eyes were exploring the gym to find that light blue haired boy, "Kuroko-cchi?? Kuroko-cchi??"

"Kise-kun, I'm over here."

"Gah! Kuroko-cchi don't scared me like that! I almost have a heart attack!" The blonde said.

"But I've been standing here all along." Tetsu explained with his usual expressionless face.

I chuckled and picked up the basketball from Kise's hand then started to dribble it. Maybe Kise was idiot sometimes, but I think he's right. Basketball always makes me better.

"Soo... who's gonna be the opponent?" I asked while spinning the ball on my finger.

"Actually we wanted to ask Midorima-kun and Akashi-kun. But it seems like they were called by the coach to his office. I think it's a business between the captain and the vice captain." Tetsu said.

"How about Murasakibara?"

"Ettou~ Murasakibara-cchi said that he was having his private snack time so he didn't want anybody to interrupt-ssu. And it's very difficult to ask him play if he's already having his snack time." Kise said.

I sighed, "How can we play a 3 on 3 game if we even don't have an opponent?"

"Aomine-kun, how about we ask some of the members of Team 2? It's better than nothing." Tetsu added.
