52. Basketball

this one's mostly a flashback

-

You walked a bit faster once you rounded the corner from your classroom and then opened your arms when you made it into the staircase.

"I texted my parents and they said I can stay out for a bit today!" You said happily as you went over to where Daiki was sitting in the windowsill. You wrapped your arms around him and stood between his legs. "We can hang out after your practice!"

Daiki didn't say anything but you could feel his hand make it's way onto your back so he could hug you.

You pulled back a bit to see his face but still stayed close enough so he could hold you. "What's wrong?"

"Got kicked off the basketball team" He mumbled, shaking his head. "So stupid"

"Why?" You asked worriedly. You knew how much Daiki loved basketball and being on the team, he had been playing ever since he was little.

He was fidgeting, playing with the edge of your skirt with his fingers. "They added quirk guidelines and anyone who's quirk didn't meet them got kicked off. Stupid quirk..."

"Oh, Daiki" You said, cupping his face. "I'm sorry. But it's out of your control, it's not your fault"

"I know it's not my fault!" He said as he pushed your hands away from his face. "It's this fucking quirk! I can't stand it!"

He kicked the heel of his shoe against the wall under the windowsill out of frustration, it made such a loud noise that you had to look and make sure he didn't break the wall.

"Sorry" He said as he put his hand on your waist and moved you over a step so he could lean forward and see the wall. "I shouldn't have kicked that"

"It's okay, it didn't break" You said. "But Daiki, other kids got kicked off too, right? You're not the only one with a quirk that doesn't meet the guidelines right?"

He nodded his head. "Yeah... A few of us"

"How about you ask them if they wanna just go to the park and play?" You suggested. "I know it's different from being on the team and that sucks, but it'll still be fun and at least you'll be playing basketball. You could ask them today to try it out since you all should have your stuff, right?"

Daiki nodded again. "I guess so... But what are you gonna do?"

"I'm gonna come watch!" You answered happily. "I was gonna come to your practice anyway"

Daiki glanced up at you and saw that you were smiling at him. He gave you a small smile back. "I love you"

Your smile grew as you shuffled forward and cupped his face again. "I love you too"

He brought both his hands to your waist so he could pull you closer while you kissed him.

After the kiss you gave him another soft one on the cheek before stepping back.

"Don't leave me" Daiki said jokingly as he grabbed your hands, interlocking your fingers with his. "You just got here"

You gave him a pout. "I have to get back to class, I don't wanna miss anything"
