Snaggletooth (&Team)

7. You're mine

Yuma's hands couldn't stop trembling from nerves. The higher ups from the Night Ball trials had announced that they were going to hand pick players who stood out the most to them despite the teams, they were focusing on individuals.

He shook his head in an attempt to shake off his nerves and looked at Yixiang who sat beside him sipping water "Hey, I need a ride home". Yixiang gulped his water and furrowed his brow in thought "Hmm, I don't think I'm free tonight..".

Yuma couldn't help but roll his eyes "of course, how could i forget you're a VIP person who's schedules are always full...besides when it comes to Mika". Yixiang chuckled "I'm not going to Mika's house, today I'm meeting this girl I met at a party".

"Oh, so you're finally moving on to a different prey... I feel bad for the girls" scoffed Yuma, crossing his arms. Yixiang lifted a brow "Who said I was moving on from Mika? as if I was ever really interested in her? do you still not know me?", Yixiang ended his statement with a small chortle but Yuma couldn't reciprocate. Yixiang was a difficult character to understand sometimes...and he was also quite dangerous.

Yuma stood up from his seat and scanned the area before his eyes landed on a familiar face "hey! Riki! Can you give me a ride home?"

Riki was sitting on the grass conversing with Koga and Heeseung. He swivelled his head to the side and timidly responded "Um, sorry..i'm already taking Koga senpai with me". Koga slightly smirked teasingly at him.

Yuma looked down in contemplation, how was he gonna get home? Should he ask Asakura? No definitely not, he couldn't stand riding the small bike together again and he also didn't want to bother him either..

"I'll take you" a smooth voice muttered sharply. Yuma lifted his head to trace the voice, his eyes landed on a smirking Heeseung gazing down at him with blazing eyes.

Yuma's eyebrows furrowed as he stared at Heeseung confused "I don't even know you?"

Heeseung's lips slightly gaped as he let out soft chortles before returning to his infamous snarky smirk "Well...you can get to know me". Yuma lifted a sleek brow "And how would I do that?"

Heesung's eyes narrowed and his smirk widened "How about...we go over to my house and do a little getting to know each other?"

"Yeah no, sorry I don't go to strangers houses" Yuma crossed his arms with a small grin. Heeseung walked forward towards Yuma "Then I can come over to your house perhaps?"

Yuma looked up into Heeseungs blazing eyes confused "Why do you even want to get to know me?", Heeseung chuckled before leaning down to match Yuma's eye level "Well..that is why i came here today.."

"Yuma! You're coming with me!" a booming voice grumbled. Yixiang stood up from where he was previously seated and glared at Heeseung before walking up to Yuma and grabbing him by the arm "Leave him alone, Heeseung".

"Oh, don't worry Yixiang! I'm interested in him purely because of his talents" chuckled Heeseung. Yixiang frowned "Why are you even here? Aren't you apart of Declis Academy's Nightball team?"

Heeseung grinned "Maybe that is why i'm here", he turned on his heels and began walking away with his hands tucked into his pockets. Yuma's brows forrowed as he stared after Heeseung, what did he mean?

Yuma looked to his side only to see Yixiang walking away. He quickly scurried to catch up with him. Yixiang rarely ever looked mad near him. "Do you know him?" Yuma mumbled as he reached Yixiang. "Yeah, we used to always attend Parties together and I know his motives very well.." Yixiang kept his gaze ahead.

Yuma felt reluctant to ask any more questions, so he chose to stay silent. As they left the area, they said their goodbyes and cheers to their friends and coaches.
