KISE X READER:
The Ace
_________________________

"Stop fooling around, Kise!" Kasamatsu fly-kicks Kise in the back, resulting in the poor blonde boy slamming face first into the court floor. Many gasps are heard around you.

"That's gotta hurt." you comment from the viewing stands. Your mother nods her head in agreement and lets out a dramatic sigh. "Your big brother's always been like that, though."

"Hm, you're right. Yuki has always been mean." you joke with a grin.

Your mom rolls her eyes with a smile. "You know that's not what I meant." she insists before looking at her son with pride. "Yukio has always been a smart captain."

You glance back down, giving the court your attention again. Kaijo is in a bad position right now. Their opponent is eight points ahead and there's five minutes left of the match.

A few minutes ago, one of the players on the rival team started riling Kiss up and making him angry. The rude player kept insulting Kise's teammates in an attempt to make him lose his cool. It worked.

Kise stands up straight but his head is still hanging low. It's like he's ashamed that he threw the game by losing his cool. Kaijo has just called for a timeout and your brother decided to use this as his opportunity to get Kise's head back in the game.

"Kise's lost it." your mom comments. "Y/N, maybe cheer hi-"

"OI! ACE!" the words from your mouth echo throughout the huge court. Your hands are cupped around your lips to make your voice much louder.

Kise's golden eyes flicker up to the stands and he spots you in the crowd in an instant.

"Pull yourself together! Take three deep breaths and calm yourself. You are winning this game!" you shout out.

Kise feels a pang in his heart.

Holy shit. I love her so much.

he thinks in disbelief.

"Why are you looking at my sister like that?" Kasamatsu menacingly asks from behind Kise. The blonde boy screeches in fright.

"I-I-"

"I already know. It's fine." your brother waves his hand dismissively.

"What do you mean, Kasamatsu-senpai?" Kise asks nervously.

"I know you like her."

Kise's cheeks tint red. "I do not." he claims.

"Shut up, Kise. Ever since we first met you've been obsessed with my sister. But, I guess... if she has to grow up one day and date someone..." he pauses and stares intently at Kise. "you're an okay candidate."

The shocked blonde boy's eyes widen. "R-REALLY!? YOU MEAN THAT, KASAMATSU-SENPAI!?" he exclaims, mountains of energy suddenly flowing through his body once again.

You and your mother glance at each other. "Wonder what those two are talking about now." she shrugs. You nod in agreement.

"Yeah. You're the ace of Kaijo, after all." Kasamatsu turns around and walks towards the bench for some water.

Kise remains standing on the court.

"I'm the ace." he says to himself with pride.

He takes a deep breath in.

Then slowly exhales.

A deep breath.

A slow exhale.
