“ taiga is fine, ” tatsuya says in response to the question. he leans back , stares at the setting sun. he’s thinking of that day. “ shuu called me you know. he was blocked and worried he had done something to piss off taiga - the idea of it. ” his eyes roll. daiki knows just how rare it is for shuuzou to be the one to reach out to tatsuya too, so tatsuya understands -- believes , that daiki will pick up on that.  “ so i popped up. found out that shuu was blocked. forced xavier to admit to it and that was a whole thing. taiga’s probably a little pissed at me because of me choking him with his own tie but , ” a shoulder lifts, drops. then he realises that aomine can’t actually see him.  “ he deserved it. he really said that ‘see, taiga isn’t mad so he can have his phone back.’”

nijimura shifts as his attention moves from the court to aomine. “ i did. ” he replies softly , as they go back to watching the game -- kagami is playing someone and even if kagami is his best friend, aomine will not lose his place in nijimura’s life. aomine changes the channel and nijimura huffs out a puff of air. so dramatic , just as bad as when they were kids.  “ you did a lot , became a lot , overcame a lot. ” nijimura is never going to fault aomine for his growth spurt into the game ; but still part of him is bitter how quick he was tossed to the side once aomine started doing nothing but winning. that’s something he’s had years to work on and think through. it was never aomine’s fault to begin with.  he shifts , brings beer up to his lips as fingers tap against the glass. “ i can’t say that you’re brave, when you’re being a coward though. you’re actively avoiding him --- ” nijimura, really, has no room to talk considering that he and tatsuya are actively both avoiding each other. “ you’re going so far to not show up to press conferences that you know he’ll be at and you need to get over it. ” a hand comes up to flick fingers against forehead much like he did back when they were in middle school.  “ stop being stupid and start being brave again. ”

diss that motherfucker   (   and then kiss his cheek when he’s too annoyed at her to notice   )

   “this is all your fault.”

                “  really cool, man. i LOVE basketball, actually. i used to play in middle school til everyone started growing and i just, like, totally stopped. i played with my younger cousins and my sister for a while but then they grew too until they were literally out of my league and they pushed the hoop up a few notches just to fuck with me.  i live vicariously through live sports events now.  ”   for reference: this is alex saying GOOD GAME!

@daichansux.

now see, shuu is a big brother - he might not be the best big brother or even a wanted big brother ( suzume, somewhere screams in frustration ) but he is still a big brother. so automatically, his first response mentally is ‘what the hell who am i killing’ while his brain catchs onto the fact that taiga is also doing it. now, that sounds like aomine kinda did something huh ! “ what’d you do for them to gang up on you ? ”
