Summary:

Aomine is bored. In Touou training he is only yelled at in annoyance by Wakamatsu, Sakurai is in bed with the flu, Momoi is in Tamura for her aunt's birthday and the other firstfruits are all uninteresting to him. So there is only one place where he can go - Seirin, to his "brother", his "ore-nerve rival" and his wonderful, cool, girlfriend Riko ...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aomine Daiki, Touou Gakuen's ace in his day, actually liked Saturdays. But that changed from today ... because screaming captain Wakamatsu Kosuke had simply decided to train on Saturday - and that only because the volleyball club had trained in the gym yesterday and therefore they could not do any afternoon training. For a cup or something - Kami-sama, how much he hated volleyball - and Wakamatsu - he even wished for the sneaky, two-faced four-eyes Imayoshi again. But worst of all? He just felt like he was alone. Satsuki was in Tamura for her aunt's birthday and the only one he liked, Sakurai, had been in bed with the flu since the beginning of the week. What a mess! His only sources of entertainment were not there. What should he do now? First of all, he didn't want to be yelled at by the blonde every second, secondly, he didn't have anyone with whom the training would be more interesting ... uh, thinking is really exhausting.

As he turned the basketball on his index finger, he was going through all possible ways to stay away from training - and suddenly the idea of the day came up. Huh ... why not extend the weekend a little - they would definitely not mind that he visits them ... (evel laugh)

And in milliseconds he was out of the gym. In the background he only heard Wakamatsu screaming where he wanted to go and that he should move his ass back into the gym. Can he forget.

And with that, the blue-haired man set off in a very specific direction ...

In Seirin, on the other hand, they trained hard. Since the team had to draw the short straw in the final against Rakuzan in the summer, shortly before Kuroko and Kagami had played with the other GOMs as Vorpal Swords against Jabberwock, they naturally wanted to defend the Winter Cup. Kiyoshi was back two weeks ago and was now in rehabilitation time and her first year center was getting in better tune as a regular member of the team. As expected for a Teiko graduate. Hehe.

Riko stood on the edge during the exercises and scanned the numbers of their players. Nodded and then wrote it down - oh, winter would be exciting again.

On the other side of the field, Kagami had just jumped into the air and shortly afterwards received a perfect pass from Kuroko - but suddenly the gym door was pushed open - and instead of dunking the ball into the basket, he bounced, again, his Forehead against the basket. Ouch!

"Look who I met on the way here," boomed the joyful voice of Goody Two Shoes, Kiyoshi Teppei, through the gym.

In a clutch-time mood, Hyuga turned to the brown-haired man, only to get grumpier - because next to the center was none other than Touou's power ace, Aomine Daiki. And to his chagrin, for a few months now, also coach's boyfriend.

Hyuga was still wondering how Riko had this idiot ... it's like if she were with Kagami ... He shivered briefly at this comparison.

To his own inability, he hadn't even noticed - apparently, or rather to the knowledge of Kuroko, something had unfolded between them since the time in Vorpal Swords - and Hyuga himself hadn't even noticed it, although it was before his eyes . He still felt like a fool.

"Yo, Tetsu," the power forward called out, since his former shadow was closest.

"Aomine-kun? Don't you actually have a training session to do today? ", it came back knowing from the teal-haired boy.

"Yes, I would like to know that too! Hm? ", Riko came up to the two of them with an insistent expression.

Kagami, who rubbed his nose and joined Izuki, looked contrite.

"This is the fifth time in four weeks that Ahomine shows up here," announced the redhead.

"And for the fifth time in two weeks you hit the basket with your nose," replied Izuki mischievously.

Riko and Kuroko were still waiting for an answer from the Touou ace.

He just scratched his neck with a shrug.

"Whatever. The training was boring, so I came here and on the way I met "Iron Heart" and Nigou. "

"Don't call me Iron Heart", Kiyoshi grumbled because of his nickname, but was skilfully ignored.

The spectacle in front of them was much more exciting for the others.

"What ever. Did you hear that, Kuroko-kun? "She asked the phantom player. Kuroko only looked passively at his former light, but said nothing.

"Where is Satsuki-san anyway?" Riko asked further.

"At her aunt's birthday in Tamura," Aomine replied with a sigh.

"And Sakurai-san?", Kuroko asked, knowing that Aomine got along best with Sakurai from the Touou team.

"He's in bed with the flu," Aomine grumbled on.

Riko crossed her arms, but before she could say anything, Hyuga interrupted her.

"And you couldn't think of anything better than to come here?"

Now Aomine looked at the Seirin captain and sighed.

"First. Are you still jealous? And secondly, it's not boring here, "Aomine replied grinning at the black-haired man. This turned red and could compete with Kagami's hair when he heard what Aomine had said.

The others only grimaced in contrition and pity.

Suddenly Riko hammered her clipboard into Aomine's stomach.

"This is the fifth time this month, you idiot!" Riko raged at her boyfriend. "You Baka! What did I tell you! Don't let training slip, Kami-sama! "

Koganei and Furihata covered their ears and the others saw the threatening aura that formed around their coach and trembled away. The only ones who were not affected by it were of course Kuroko, who, as always, did not grimace, Kiyoshi, who grinned to himself and stroked Nigou and Aomine himself, who sulked as if his toys had been taken away from him.

"Riko, it's just so boring in Touou," he grumbled.

And everyone wondered whether that was really the dreaded ace of the generation of miracles before them or a little boy who was just in kindergarten.

"How about you play a one-on-one with Kagami-kun?", Kuroko asked him from the side - and that flashed something, but as quickly as it came it was gone.

"Bakagami can't even make a dunk like I just saw," he grinned at the redhead.

"You Gangeru," the other grumbled to himself.

"I would much rather spend time with you," the blue-haired pouted and looked at Riko with a puppy look.

That shocked Seirin, well, except for Kuroko and Goody Two Shoes.

But Riko - not at all impressed by it - narrowed her eyes, drew in a breath and pulled her boyfriend by his tie with his ear so that her mouth lingered next to it and he could very well hear what she said softly to him.

"I want that too, only we have both tasks to fulfill. You do your training in Touou and I mine here in Seirin, "she whispered softly. Then she chewed her lower lip briefly. "If you like, wait until we're finished. Our training only lasts a maximum of twenty minutes. "

"Hm. Yeah Yeah Okay, then I'll wait, "he replied after thinking for a moment. The brown-haired woman was glad that he didn't make a riot or something inappropriate in the presence of her team - and especially Hyuga. She still felt sorry for him. But she had waited three damn years for him to finally take his courage and ask her out on a date - but nothing like that happened. After last year's Winter Cup she thought he would dare. But again nothing. Well, and then suddenly there was Daiki. This perverted idiot who only thought of basketball and big-breasted photo models and who was lazy as a sloth. That you had to pull up to training a few months ago. But when she saw how he had changed and slowly for the better - and when she got to know him better, what lay behind his "The only one who can beat me is me" facade ... A young man who took care of his friends, a big brother to Satsuki and Kuroko and even Kise. Who loved to have a strong opponent who pushed him to the limit and brought a smile to his face when he played basketball. Shockingly, he was very good at cooking, was funny and, besides bees, loved animals - especially dogs.

And - and that was the surprising thing about it all - he could be romantic in his very own way. He had even challenged her father in a duel so that he could get the blessing to go out with her. He had won - just barely - but he had won, and in a short time he and her father had become almost a dynamic duo.

"Does that mean we have a long weekend in bed?" He asked with a dirty grin on his face.

Had she just praised him and talked about his good side? Just forget! He didn't have any.

And with full force she pulled him over her shoulder and kicked him in the face like karate kid. At the sight of it, Kagami felt a familiar feeling. Memories of grades, intermediate tests and the question of whether she's about that good came back to his mind. Uuuaaa, no, he definitely didn't want to experience that again.

And Seirin looked shocked too - except for the well-known two.

Hyuga hyperventilated at the phrase Aomine had said and fell over, Koganei, the three sophomore musketeers, and all of the first years were red as tomatoes and could now compete with Kagami's hair. Izuki, Mitobe and Tsuchida stood by with their mines pinched and tried to wake Hyuga back up somehow. Kagami just grimaced - he didn't really want to know what his rival and his coach are doing in their free time.

"You can kind of bend that. You Aho-Ahomine!", shouted the brown-haired woman, embarrassed.

"Ouch. Riko. Ouch ", Aomine tried to get hold of Riko, but she kept evading.

"You won't touch me all weekend, but help dad in the gym."

This kind of threat made the blue-haired man suddenly stop fidgeting and grasping and look at her with wide, shocked eyes.

In the background he could see Kuroko grinning - that bastard.

Riko stood in front of him with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His gaze flickered to it for a moment and she grumbled dangerously.

He raised his hands in resignation.

"Okay, okay. I surrender. I'll just lie down there on the stage and wait until you're done. "

With a sigh he went up to it and then let himself fall back - and already he was slumbering away.

Riko looked at Kuroko with a winning grin, who gave her a thumbs up, and then slowly walked over to the rest of her team with a dangerous grin.

They knew that the last minutes of training would be hell again and even the woke up Hyuga could only utter a sigh of devotion.

Well then, off to hell ...

A few hours later. After training was over, she and Daiki had lunch with her dad and they had both distracted themselves briefly for a few hours with basketball on the indoor court and then had a hot bath, the two were now in Riko's large bed.

Riko lay with her head on Daiki's bare chest and drew small circles and stars on his torso. He stroked her slim back again and again, which gave her goose bumps.

"Well, are you still bored?", the brown-haired woman asked her boyfriend teasingly.

"Heh? What are you talking about? ", he asked back, as if he didn't know why he had shown up at the Seirin Gym hours ago.

She shook her head, her hair a little tousled because Daiki had tossed around in them. Then she changed the subject.

"I still can't believe you ignored my threat so insidiously," pouted Riko.

"Your threat not to touch you was the funniest thing I ever heard from your sweet, little mouth," grinned the Touou player.

"Ha, ha, ha. Actually I should have known - but maybe I just wanted to know if you would do it. Stick to it or not stick to it and help dad in the gym ... ", she replied and then looked at him in his dark blue irises.

"There is the Fujoshi in you again," he teased his girlfriend. Which in turn hit him in the face with the pillow, what was next to her. That caused the basketball player to turn them over. Now he was above her and she below him. They both grinned expectantly.

"What are you waiting for?", Riko asked confused.

"Last time your dad, Tetsu and Satsuki suddenly stormed in here ..." he muttered while looking dangerously at the door.

Riko rolled his eyes and pulled his face back in her direction.

"That can't happen today. Firstly, Satsuki-san is with her aunt, Kuroko-kun is guaranteed to be somewhere with Kagami-kun on a basketball court and thirdly - I locked the door ... and both keys, master and spare, are here in the room. Nobody can disturb us ", she smiled broadly at him. And now a thieving grin crept on Aomine's face.

"That's why I love you so much - you just think of everything, my little Fujoshi."

And in milliseconds his lips were on hers and they both drifted off into the heat of the room and the togetherness.

Carefully at first, then teasing, and then passion overcame them both. The weekend couldn't have started better for either of them ... and for Aomine it was a guarantee that it wouldn't get boring at all.

He definitely knew that ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now you are probably wondering - Why Aomine and Riko. It's easy to explain. This pairing is so unimaginable that it is somehow imaginable. And in any case, Riko could definitely raise the blue-haired man somehow. The idea with the two characters came to me while reading some One Shots with Riko x GOM on Tumblr - and besides, Riko just deserves just as much attention. Second, I got the idea with Riko x GOM when I read through all the characters on Wiki again and there was the info that Kise and Aomine talked about Riko in some depths of the manga and that Seirin is happy to have such a cool and amazing coach. You can find the section on the English wiki page of Kuroko no Basket at Riko Aida/Skill. I will definitely do more OS with the other GOMS. But that will take a while.

Stay safe!

prompt: AoRiko humor/fluff? Aomine reacts to Horikita Mai getting married (she really is) Riko comforts him

The world seemed to fall apart for the poor bluenette as he finished reading thw newest issue of the Horikita Mai magazine. On the front cover, she announced that she is now engaged to the "luckiest man in the world", and her wedding is to be held in a few months. Aomine threw the magazine onto the floor and fell to his knees, covering his face with his hands.

"I can't believe it! Mai is engaged? That means, she's gonna have kids soon, and kids means she's not gonna have her beautiful thin body anymore!" he whined on the floor, completely forgetting that he is in the middle of a bookstore.

"Excuse me, you're being a bit loud." one of the employees said, bending down and tapping his shoulder to get his attention.

"You don't understand, Mai has been taken from me by some-some stranger!" Aomine did a choking hand motion to an invisible figure in front of him, then proceeded to whine into his hands.

"Could you please quiet down, if not I'll ask you to leave." she said again, and walked away from him.

Aomine slide his fingers so his eyes were visible through his hands. He groaned, but not too loudly. His eyes darted from the magazine to the empty slot on the shelf where the magazine belonged. Upon looking at the magazine again, he complained loudly once more which resulted in Aomine getting kicked out of the bookstore. He sat on the sidewalk in front of the store in total despair.

"Aomine-kun? What happened to you?"

Aomine looked up and saw the brunette staring down at him.

"Tetsu's coach? What're you doing here?" Aomine asked, turning around so his back faced her.

"I should be asking you that, why are you on the floor?"

"I'm going through a period of emotional distress!"

"Why?"

"Mai-chan is getting married to a total loser!" Aomine cried, rocking back and forth on the floor.

Riko sighed, never has she seen Aomine act this way before. She knew he was a pervert, but she would've never guessed that he was actually emotionally attached to her as well.

"Look, why don't you solve this problem first by getting up and moving, you're in people's ways."

Aomine shifted and looked up, seeing a few pedestrians walk past him, one stepping over him. He brought himself to his feet but he slouched.

"She's just a model, I'm sure there are other models you look at."

"But Mai-chan, she's so big, she's my favorite, she's. . ." Aomine began to grab at his face again and his knees were about to give out. Riko quickly grabbed him by the back of his collar and dragged him away from the store entrance towards a bench where she sat him down.

"Aomine-kun calm down! Just because she's married doesn't mean she's gonna stop producing magazines-"

"Except every magazine will consist of her and her fiancé." Aomine cupped his cheek in his hand, propping his elbows on his knees.

Riko sighed again. "If anything, you should feel happy for her," Aomine flinched," she's gonna stay single forever. She would've eventually found someone, today, tomorrow, or anytime. You still have all her old issues, you can always read those."

"But then she'll become fat once she's pregnant."

"Well, that's what happens when you become pregnant." Riko bluntly said, raising her eyebrow. "You'll either have to deal with it or move on."

Aomine looked over at her and his eyes went straight to her chest, which Riko noticed immediately.

"What're you looking at?!"

"I wonder how empty that must feel."

"What?!"

"Looks like I'll have to move on then."

"Don't just change the subject that dramatically!"

Aomine stood up and stretched, his shirt lifting slightly to reveal his very well built body. Riko took a glance and was able to snatch a few numbers off his body.

"What're you looking at?" Aomine asked, noticing that.

"It's called analyzing eyes, I can see how well you're built. That's how I figure out how much I need to train my basketball players."

"You aren't very built up here," Aomine put his arms around his chest,"you should try wearing tighter shirts so it'll at least look bigger."

"Excuse you, you pervert!"

"Looks like I'm excused then, when you see Kagami, tell him I want another one on one game with him, bastard still owes me a rematch." he put his hands behind his head and was about to walk off, until he brought one hand down and patted Riko's head, which took her by great surprise.

"Thanks for dragging me out of there though." he half smirked.

Riko grunted, but responded with a "you're welcome", and watched him walked off.

The sun had just risen and the light poured into the room. If the sun were able to aim, then it aimed well, because the sleeping basketball ace got the sun directly in his eye. He stirred as he moved his head, away from the sun’s damaging rays. After flickering his eyes open, he sits up slowly, yawning and scratching his head. As he got up, something fell off his bed which sounded like paper falling. The bluenette grumbled, reaching down to the floor to pick up what has fallen, which happens to be one of his many magazines. He noticed that one of the pages were folded and flipped to it and was surprised to see that tucked between the pages was a torn out page of Basketball Monthly, a magazine that he’d look at every once in a while. Taking a look at the torn page he saw the smiling face of Kuroko Tetsuya, along with the rest of his team. The victors of the Winter Cup. He smirked, glancing across all their smiling faces until he came across the only feminine face on the picture. Tetsu’s coach, he thought. Yeah, she’s kinda cute but she’s clearly lacking in the chest area. He let out a sigh and put the page aside, looking through his magazine. Thin, busty models in bikinis filled all the pages. But, he grew tired and set the magazine aside, finally getting up and getting dressed.

After he ate breakfast, he opened door and a wave of cold slapped him in the face. He slammed the door shut and peered out the window; the sunny sun that was out just moments ago was now blocked away by dark gray clouds with a whistling wind that rocked the trees gently back and forth. He actually looked surprised, it wasn’t like the weather to change like this so suddenly. He returned to his room and fetched a sweater and scarf and headed outside, his legs leading him to a certain place in downtown Tokyo: the contest fair that was set up by all Tokyo high schools.

The teen somehow found a way to wriggle out of having the responsibility to help run the booth. Although he told himself he wouldn’t go, he felt somewhat drawn do the place. It was already crowded with people and he could see familiar high schools everywhere. It wasn’t long before he came across his own school, Tōō Academy. At the booth he was able to see the four eyed basketball captain, Imayoshi, and the pink haired manager, Momoi. He quickly concluded that he didn’t want to be seen by them, so he turned around to walk in the opposite way until something crashed into him.

“S-sorry! I couldn’t see past these- Aomine-kin?” said an unfamiliar voice.

The teen looked down to see a brunette girl almost half his height holding two large boxes in her arms. This girl seemed rather familiar…

“Nice to see you too.” she frowned, adjusting the boxes in her arm.

“Tetsu’s coach?” Aomine said, upon closer inspection.

“Yes, that’s me. And I have a name which happens to be Riko Aida, not like you’ll remember. I have to go.” and with that, she marched off into the direction she was walking in. Aomine watched her go, arriving at her destination which was Seirin High School booth. Perhaps, Kuroko was there too.

Aomine felt drawn to the Seirin booth in a similar like way when he came to the fair. He came closer and kept an open eye out, for both the red headed basketball ace or Kuroko. When arriving at the booth, he was surprised to see there were many little games scattered across the table that were occupied with dozens of little children. As he walked down the line of games, he heard the voice again.

“If you’re searching for Kuroko-Kun, he’s not here.”

Aomine looked up to see Riko watching him, her arms crossed over her chest.

“Then what are you doing here?” Aomine asked.

“I’m the Vice President of the student council, I’m supposed to be here.” she tightened her arms. Aomine couldn’t help but notice how small her chest looked, maybe if she was fuller he would consider her quite attractive.

“What’re you staring at!?” she exclaimed, turning to a side which broke Aomine’s gaze. He didn’t realize he was staring.

“You don’t have any boobs.”

Some of the children’s heads turned around, trying to comprehend what the blue haired teen had just said. Riko’s cheeks became the darkest of crimson and she gritted her teeth. Her ambience snapped and the air felt heavier. Aomine decided to take just a tiny step back.

“Riko, go somewhere else unless you wanna scare the kids away.” said the student council president who happened to hear Aomine’s comment. Riko walked towards Aomine but then past him, marching angrily in that direction.

Aomine watched her go again. This time, he didn’t follow. The image of her angry little face was in his mind for some reason, he shook his head in puzzlement. There wasn’t a reason for her to be in his mind, she lacked feminine appeal anyway.

After walking past and observing most of the booths, he thought it was high time he went home, that was of course, until he spotted an unusually large crowd surrounding a certain arena. With the advantage of his height, he was able to peer over the crowd to see what it was that they were cheering for, and he was surprised to see that it was Riko inside the ring, pinning a man double her height onto the ground. The crowd roared with excitement as they cheered “three in a row! three in a row!” The announcer stood up and declared her the winner, and asked for any other volunteers. A skinny, but tall teenager entered the arena and, oh poor thing, he had nothing on Riko. Within seconds, she had him on the ground with his arm behind his back. Aomine found himself quite entertained with this. He thought to himself, with her being so light, how could she pin down those guys so easily? Her movements were so swift, maybe if she did have the extra weight on her chest it would be more difficult for her to move-

“Damn it!” he snarled to himself, shaking his head once more. Why did his thoughts always go back to that certain spot on her? Yeah, she looked kinda cute when she was angry but that all, and these thoughts slowly wavered down to her chest…

“You look like you’re constipated.” a voice interrupted his perverted thoughts. Aomine snapped his neck down to see Riko staring back up at him.

“Weren’t you just in there fighting someone?”

“They only allowed me to pin down 5. That’s major bull if you asked me.”

Aomine scratched his head. The frown on her face hasn’t disappeared since he commented her chest. Maybe it was a good idea to apologize.

“I… wanted to apologize for earlier.” he said looking away.

“Aomine Daiki is actually apologizing? First the weather change and now this? What’s next?”

“Oi! Just be glad that I actually take back what I said!” he snapped, looking at her hard in hopes to intimidate her, but she only returned his glare.

“Whatever.” she said, opening her mouth to say something else but was suddenly interrupted by a student who has come up to them.

“You two! Try our brand new contest, the winner gets a free meal at the brand new ramen house down the street!” he didn’t even give the two a chance to respond because by the time he finished his sentence, he was already dragging them over to their race. The two complained obviously, but the student heard nothing but loud mumbles as he pushed them onto the track and handcuffed their wrists together.

“Hey what’s this!?”

“We didn’t ask for this!”

The two struggled as their wrists were cuffed together, standing alongside other pairs that were in the same situation as them.

“Just run and go across the obstacle, the first to the finish line wins! And, go!”

The pairs took off except for one. The blue and brown haired duo jerked their wrists back and forth trying to shake free of the cuffs, although it was obviously hopeless.

“Let’s just run! The sooner we run the faster we get out of this!

The duo took off, Aomine having no say in what he wanted to do instead. The first few obstacles were easy for the both of them, they just had to jump over a few objects. Eventually they grew harder, such as jumping over fences and crawling through tires.

"I can’t fit!” cried one girl, whose partner was ahead of her through the tire. She was rather… fuller on the chest area, and these hindered her ability to crawl through the tire. Aomine rose an eyebrow, suddenly switching his eyes to Riko who fluidly crawled through the tire. Maybe, not being bigger had its advantages?

“Aomine! Focus!” Riko yelled at him. She was halfway across am obstacle but was forced to stop because Aomine was holding her back. He shook his head and muttered an apology, easily walking over the fence and following her. Next was a wall climb and the two had to climb alongside each other. Aomine got up faster while Riko struggled to keep her grip on the handholds. It got to the point where Aomine reached the top and accidentally pulled Riko too harshly upwards, knocking her off balance and landing on him.

“Be careful next time!” she snarled in his face.

“Jeez calm down.” he responded. She wasn’t aware of their current position, and Aomine made no effort to move. However, another pair was heard climbing up, so Riko picked herself (and partially Aomine) up and the two raced towards the last obstacle, which were dozens of large dummies that had to be tackled through.

Riko smirked and cracked her knuckles, tackling her way through with poor Aomine being dragged behind, sometimes getting hit by the dummies that bounced back too quickly.

She’s really strong, maybe what she lacks in her chest she makes up with her strength and determination. Maybe big boobs aren’t the biggest factor that makes a girl, Aomine thought in his head as the duo crossed the finish line, somehow placing first.

“Congratulations!! The two of you won first place!” the announcer said, hastily shoving “free meal” coupons in their hands. As he uncuffed their wrists, Aomine grabbed the cuffs from him and stuffed them in his pocket, giving him a hard look so he wouldn’t say anything; in which, he didn’t.

“All that exercise drained me out.” Riko said.

“Well why don’t we just go here.” Aomine said, holding his ticket out.

The two agreed, and they left the fair and got their free meals at the restaurant. As they were eating-

“Hey Riko, what type of guys do you like?”

“What?!” Riko choked on her ramen.

“What’s your type?”

“I don’t have to answer that!”

“So you don’t have a type?”

“I didn’t say that!”

Riko angrily chewed on her ramen as Aomine eyed her in a way that made her almost uncomfortable.

“Are you planning anything after leaving here?” he asked.

“No, why do you ask?”

“Because I want to try these, in a different way this time.” Aomine said with a smirk, pulling the handcuffs out of his pocket.

Riko swallowed her ramen so hard that she gasped when it finally reached her stomach. Her face slowly morphed from a pale pink to a bright rose red, then she opened her mouth and yelled-

It was another lazy day for Aomine Daiki. After sleeping on the roof for the whole duration of basketball practice, he wakes up and is surprised to see that Momoi wasn't there to wake him. He stood up, stretched out his muscular back that happened to pop three times, then began to climb down the ladder. Once he reached the bottom, he jumped out and landed on the floor. With hands tucked into his pockets, he walked forward, every step feeling like his last. He was always so tired, not wanting to do anything but sleep and look at his magazines.

It was a nice spring day, and there was no wind in the air. With the sun out high, it created a perfect temperature to be outside in short sleeves or a thin long sleeve. Aomine didn't feel warm, for he was wearing his long sleeve school uniform and pants. The low sunlight hit him and warmed his skin, but it didn't feel hot enough for him to take off his long sleeves.

A scent of flowers began to float through the air. Aomine caught a whiff of it and sneezed. He wiped his nose with his sleeved and breathed in hard through his nose. Spring was also the sign of allergies, something Aomine wasn't very fond of. The sweet floral scent began to overpower Aomine's nose and his sneezing became uncontrollable.

"Damn, I hate these flowers." Aomine mumbled as his sneezing settled down. He glanced over to his right where he could see the many patches of multicolored flowers. He looked over from flower patch to flower patch, making sure he didn't see any of those things buzzing around. A few steps later. another round of sneezes came by. The blue haired teen walked faster, trying to get as far away from the flowers as he can. He came across another path that intersected the one that he was on, but he couldn't see the person who was walking past him because another sneeze crept up his nose.

"Ah-choo!"

"Agh, oh ew! What where you're sneezing you little-" the angered, but high pitched voice, stopped.

"Sorry I couldn't see where I was-," the blue haired teen stopped and looked down, "oye, aren't you Tetsu's coach?"

"Yes I am! Now do me a favor, and watch where you sneeze next time!" the brunette said, wiping her sleeve against her hair, trying so desperately to get the microscopic germs of her.

"I said I'm sorry. I didn't see you, probably because you're so short." Aomine said, looking up and away.

"Short!? Excuse you-"

"Even Tetsu is taller than you and he was the shortest on our team back at Teiko. Isn't it weird for the coach to be shorter than the players?" Aomine yawned.

"Well sor-ry," the coach emphasized,"for not reaching your height expectations! And by the way,  I have a name, and it happens to be Riko Aida." with her hands crossed, she glared up at him, veins popping.

"Tch." Aomine smirked.

"Don't you 'tch' me, I expect an apology from you!"

"For what? Calling you a. . .bee!"

Riko raised a brow in confusion. The tall, truculent basketball player was now holding his head in his arms, quaking with fear. The buzzing sound of a bee was now nearing Riko. The buzzing surrounded her head and she finally caught sight of the the flying, black and yellow blur. It flew around Aomine, making him squat lower and hold his head tighter.

"Make it go away!" Aomine shrieked as he suddenly fell to the ground.

Riko sighed. Did such a small creature like this scare the living daylights of such a tough guy like him? It was almost unbelievable. The bee came around and happened to land on the shivering boy's shoulder.

"Aomine-kun, don't move!" Riko said, walking closer to him.

"Why?" she heard him say.

Riko didn't answer but walked closer, reaching her hand out, palm facing up, and rested it against the bee. The bee crawled a little bit towards her hand and then finally crawled onto it. She put her other palm around it.

"I have the bee. It was on your shoulder." Riko said.

"It-it was? You got it off?" Aomine said, raising his head of out his man-made shell. He slowly got up but kept a distance from her.

"I have it. It's in my hands." Riko assured.

"Then-then stay away from me. That bee can sting your hand and it'll come after me!" Aomine pointed at himself.

Once again, Riko sighed. She felt the little fuzzy feet crawl around her palm which tickled a bit. The small wings lightly touched the hand covering it. The bee walked in circles.

"I can't believe that the oh-so tough Aomine Daiki is afraid of this!" Riko said teasingly, stretching her hands out towards the scared looking teen.

"Shut up! It's something I keep to myself alright! They're just so small, yet so mean!"

"Well, most people stray away from bees for two reasons. One, they're allergic. Two, they were stung at an earlier age and they have developed a fear of it. Which one's your reason?"

Aomine sighed. He gave her a hopeless look. "Fine. When I was younger I was stung by a bee. I was terrified. That's why I now hate-," Riko coughed, " I mean, am afraid, of bees." Aomine crossed his hands. "Now you know, would you please get rid of it! Just knowing it's in there crawling around your hand is giving me the creeps!"

Riko chuckled. "Of course." She opened her hands and the small, black and yellow striped creature flew out of her hands and away.

"Thank you. And please, wash your hands. Knowing that you were holding that thing in there." Aomine said, stealing a glance at her.

"You mean these?" Riko shoved her hands on Aomine's face.

"Gah! Get away from me!"

Riko couldn't help but laugh. She promised she would wash her hands as soon as she had the chance. She walked alongside Aomine as the two walked far away from the flower patches, hoping not to bump into anymore bees. They reached the end of the path which divided. They said their farewells.

"And, by the way, Riko, let's just pretend this never happened, alright?' Aomine said, looking at her.

"I will, if you watch where you sneeze next time." Riko said, returning his look.

"Thanks. I guess your somewhat friendly personality makes up for your height." Aomine said bluntly.

"What did you say?!" Riko choked.

After what just happened, he dared call her short? Again?
