"And I Hate You Too" - Aomine Daiki

Enough About Us

Hikari Aina POV 

"Okay so everyone find a place to hide anywhere in the villa and the beach area, the first five to be caught will have to do a dare from the last five to be caught " Momoi screamed so everyone can hear. Yeah, we're playing hide and seek, what are we ten? 

Momoi chose Wakamatsu to seek, which isn't to bad since he's a loud guy and I would be able to hear him if he's near. I ran inside the villa seeing some people already found where to hide. I tried to go for the rooms but it's where Wakamastsu would surely look first so, I went to look for another place

"Psst, come with me" Aomine pulled me with him. He should know where to hide since he's too big. I wonder where Muchan is hiding, he's probably not hiding 

"Where are we going Aomine?" I whispered 

"I know a place" He said pulling me to the back of the villa where there's a ladder that leads to an attic, "How did you even find this? No wait don't answer that" I don't want to know where he brings girls he hooks up with 

"I know what's going in that pretty little head of yours and the answer's no" I rolled my eyes at him, he offered a hand to help me get up the stairs after him. The attic was a bit cramped especially with the giant dummy beside me and to top it off, me being 5'4 doesn't help

"Wakamatsu or anyone won't find us here" He said settling on his side 

"Why did she choose a game of hide and seek when most of the guys here are basketball players. Only Kuroko, Akashi and a few other guys would be able to hide long enough" 

"Beats me, every year she comes up with an annoying game to play. Last time we even got scolded by the neighbors cause she wanted everyone to race by the beach. I wonder where that purple giant hid, he's probably caught and enjoying a snack right now" I smiled, I can see Muchan being caught first 

"I was thinking the same thing, also Midorima and Kagami" I said 

"What do you think about Kagami?" He asked, I looked at him and he's looking the other way 

"He's an interesting guy, I guess. I actually want to thank him and Kuroko for putting you guys down that mighty horse you all sat on before I left" I said 

"It was all Tetsu" 

"Yeah but Kagami was a part of it too, without him being Kuroko's light and actually having a bigger head thinking that he can beat you guys one by one, Kuroko might not have gotten through all you thick skulls. Well at least that's how I see it from Momoi's stories" I said as a matter a fact

He was looking at me as if he wants to say something "What? quit staring and just spit it out" I said 

"After loosing to Tetsu the first time, I wanted to call and tell you about it. I couldn't sleep even if I tried then I remembered that it's probably day time in America and I wanted to call so bad but I didn't" I waited for a few seconds for him to continue but he didn't 

"Why didn't you? I would've still pick up your call, I would probably be surprised but still pick up the call" I said

"I don't think I have the right to call you after everything" 

"Aomine, whatever happened before it's in the past and besides we were friends first before we started dating. It doesn't mean that we stop being friends just because we broke up" I said, this feels like a talk that we needed to have. We haven't spoken about us ever since I left even after I came back but I feel that it's something we both need, closure

"Did you ever think about how things would've been if things went differently?" 

"I did at one point but I didn't want to think too much about it. It's for the best this all happened, you all needed to grow separately. Fighting against each other made you all stronger but I know you all work best by playing together"

"I didn't mean about me and the guys, I meant us. If I didn't change and you didn't give up on me, would things be different?"

"I don't know really" When I found out that I was moving to America, I told my parents that I would be staying with my grandparents but it was mostly because I didn't want to leave Aomine to deal with everything by himself, especially since he was feeling down about basketball. I've never seen him so unmotivated to play the only sport he loves but a lot of things went down between us and the guys changed as well which added more to Aomine's changing attitude 

"I thought about you and us a lot since you left and I tried to use basketball as a distraction but still, it's no use. I remember our last conversation and how we didn't see each other for a week after only to find out, you left for America. I know Satsuki visited you and she asked me to come but I didn't think you would want to see me but then I don't blame you. I was an asshole to you" 

"I'm glad to know you realized that" I smiled at him "But I think it all had to happen, I stopped looking at it in a negative way but more of something that was meant to happen. To be honest with you, I though about you too but maybe not as much as you thought about me" I smirked playfully at him 

"Enough about us and tell me stories during your high school years" I said 

"Didn't Satsuki tell you stories already"

"Just do it Aomine" I glared 

"Bossy as always" he said but still proceeds to tell me stories about his high school years. At some point I leaned towards him to get comfortable and eventually fell asleep forgetting about the game
