[A/N]
Hanamiya goes down..!
........................................................................................................................................................................

The entire Keio team runs to their ace, their coach the first to reach him.
"Daiki...", she says in a soft voice cradling his head, his arm still covering the injured eye.
She carefully moves his hand away, only to see a dark bruise forming.
"Aomine...", Kagami kneels next him, Kuroko following suit.
"Dai-chan", Momoi pushes through the boys, hurrying to her best friend. She reaches out to him, petting his hair and he grunts in response, lifting himself slightly, hand covering his eye again.
"You okay man..?"
"Yeah", he grunts again.
Kagami and Kiyoshi gently lift him up, Kiyoshi slinging his arm onto his shoulder, supporting him.
"You're over doing it ace-san...", he says with a soft smile, showing how proud he was of the blunette who has carried them this far.
Aomine looks at him with one eye, the other slowly coming into view as his hand slacks at the look on the centre's face.
All this while, he's been known to be proud and cocky and downright insensitive, so there hasn't been many people who've shown him such care, understanding and respect. Save for Momoi and Kuroko of course and now their coach Mira too. His Teiko team respected him yes, but it was more for his ability to destroy than anything else.
But now, the way his team looked at him, the way Kiyoshi looked at him, with a mix of gratitude and concern, their smiles comforting as ever, Aomine couldn't help but smile back.
They hadn't known each other for the longest time, but in the short time that they had, they had all become pretty close. The blunette found himself looking forward to practice again. They'd play together, laugh together, get busted together... He'd almost started liking team play again. It was a lot like his Teiko days yet so different at the same time.
And then there was Kiyoshi who had become the elder brother he never had, the elder brother he'd always wanted. Cuz let's face it. Once in a while even a hothead like him, could use could use a calming and experienced hand on his shoulder, encouraging him, helping him up when he's fallen.
"Daiki...", Mira suddenly appears by his side, sitting him down in the bench, while Riko pulls the centre away blabbering something about him not knowing how to take care of himself.
"Lemme see the eye", she ordered.
He reluctantly moves his arm away.
"You look like you got punched", she mused.
"Don't rub it in", he whines, grabbing the ice pack from her hand and gently placing it on his eye.
"What happened out there..?"
"You saw it already right..?"
"I did but I wanna know it from you. How'd he get you..?"
"I dunno... I just went after him for the ball and next thing I know, his elbow's smashes into my face", he continues shaking his head. "I should have seen it coming...", he says growling, angry at himself for missing something as stupidly expectant as that.
"Hey", she turns his face to her. "You were great out there..."
"But apparently not great enough"
"Nonsense"
He turns away from her and pouts, ice pack back on his eye.
If he's gonna wallow in self deprecating misery right now, then she's just gonna leave him to it. Mira smiles at him and then turns to her team. Her eyes soften immediately at the sight.
Kiyoshi and Hyuuga having some stupid argument while Riko tends to them (Hyuuga doing all the yelling of course while Kiyoshi chuckles at practically everything he says), Kagami with a towel on his head, pouting at something Kuroko says who then turns to the pinkette who just won't shut up about God knows what while stealing glances at her injured friend. Hayama and Eikichi on the other hand are glaring murderously at Hanamiya from the sidelines.
And then there's her blunette sitting right next to her groaning away to glory.
Yup. These guys are normal. Thankfully unfazed by the terror they're facing.
"Guys listen up", she calls and all heads snap to her.
"You need to rest up as much as possible, time's running out pretty quickly", she points to the time. Only a minute more left.
She huddles them all together and starts giving out instructions for the next quarter. They're all nodding heads and Aomine leans a little to try and listen in.
"You are sitting out", she says turning to the blunette who shoots back, surprised.
"No way..!", he stands in protest.
"Yes way..!", she glares him back down. "You're staying right here atleast a few minutes into the game"
"But..."
"I agree", Momoi steps forward. "Dai-chan will be required toward the end. And without that eye, he can't do much"
"Satsuki..."
"Aomine kun", Kuroko shuts him off. "You've been working too hard, tiring yourself too much... Let us handle things for a bit ne..?"
"Tetsu..."
"Arguing is pointless", Kagami steps forward interrupting him again, shaking his red head.
Mira smiles down at him. "Yup. Pointless"
The blunette sighs and nods. "Fine... But not for too long okay"
"We'll see", says their coach smirking playfully, her eyes already on the rest of the team.
.......................................................
Referee TIME OUT", the announcer's voice beams through the stadium.
"Kagami-kun, is your leg okay..?", Kuroko asks concerned.
"Yup... No need to worry", groans Kagami. "I'll last till the end"
"It's not a matter of lasting Kagami", Kiyoshi pats him on the back. "We'll need both of our aces at full power to win this thing", he steals a glance at the raging blunette sitting at the benches.
4 minutes into the game and Aomine hasn't been put back on. He's tried to protest, yes, but unfortunately for him, his coach seems more than adamant to make him REST. So much for dating your coach...
"Don't you worry", she said. "You'll be in there in no time"
Yeah right..! We're almost halfway through..!
His eye hasn't healed completely, but just enough for his vision to clear completely. He sits at the bench with that ice pack on his eye, his coincience agreeing with the young coach's words.
"Member change", said coach interrupts his thoughts. He jumps up, ready to go at the words but she seems to be addressing someone else. "Hayama get in there"
"Hold on..! What about me..?!"
"Not yet", is all she says before escorting Mr Lightning Dribble onto court.
"Mira...", he runs after her. "The quarter's almost half over..!"
"I know"
"My eye has healed enough"
"I know"
"Then why the hell are you still keeping me here..?!"
She whips her head to him and glares him down.
"Do you have any idea as to the amount of stress they're facing..?", she says sternly, pointing to the court.
"...........", he looks at them. They look tired, exhausted even and seem to be pushing themselves even further to stay in the game.
Hanamiya has a seems to have a wicked smile on his face as he runs across the court. After Aomine went out, the score difference decreased. Kagami, Kiyoshi and the rest seemed to try their hardest, but Haizaki and Seto seem to make it incredibly hard and taxing to move on court.
Suddenly a loud thump is heard behind them.
"Bakagami..?"
"Huh..?", he blinks up at them.
"Why'd you come back..? They need you out there"
"Well HE needs some rest, just like you", Mira pushes past him, kneels down and starts stretching Kagami's leg. He groans slightly. His jumping seems to be getting the best Of him again. "Careful.."
That's a lot of care he's getting... Jealous much..? The blunette's coincience teases.
"The difference might be lessening", she starts. "But that doesn't mean we're not putting up a fight...", she pulls his leg, knee straightening out.
"You knew this would happen...", mutters Aomine.
She lets out a slight chuckle.
"Why..?", he demands.
"Isn't it obvious..?", she turns to him. "Both of you need to rest. You're the aces and if you're not at full power by the end, we're screwed"
"She's right..", Kagami cuts in. "Our recovery is the key"
"But at what cost..?"
Kagami and Mira glance at each other. "It's not a sacrifice Daiki. They're just stalling them till you guys arrive"
"Have you seen the score..?"
"The score is the least of our problems right now. Our goal is to tire them out", he looks to the court again and this time actually sees the difference.
Haizaki and Seto, Hanamiya's henchmen, seem to be swaying tiredly on court. Their moves aren't as efficient anymore.
"You planned this..."
"Hanamiya's not the only one with a brain ya know"
The match continues and Keio seems to be holding their ground just fine. They're all injured yes, but that'll never stop them from going all out in a match like this. Hanamiya and his minions seem to be tiring, yet refuse to give up too.
"He's gonna call for a timeout soon", mumbles Mira.
"What makes you say that..?"
"Look at em, they're strength is dwindling", she smirks. "He'd be an idiot not to. They need to rest too"
"Hmm...", mumbles Aomine and sits back down and they continue to watch the game. Things seem to be going okay as another minute passes.
Hanamiya seems to get restless on the court as he sees his players flailing. He calls them forth and plans another attack, going for Hayama this time.
The trio watch in silence, as Hanamiya and his minions pull their strength together and attack but with little precision. First Hayama, then Eikichi, Kiyoshi afterward. They're all close calls, some hitting targets and others not.
"This needs to stop...", mutters the young coach as she glares at the commotion on the court.
"Oi", she calls and her aces turn to her.
"You better make this worth it", she says, stern again, her aura daunting.
They only nod, not wanting to say anything that might make her lash out on them cuz by the looks of it, she'd butcher Hanamiya if given the chance.
The next minute passes and as she thought, bushy brows calls for a timeout.
Haizaki and Seto practically jump onto the bench, exhausted.
"Your plan seems to be working", Hyuuga walks upto the young coach and pats her on the back, a tired smile on his face.
"I'm glad...",she smiles back as the Keio team plonks themselves down, genuinely spent.
Mira swarms all of them immediately; handing ice packs, bandaging wounds and taping injuries. The only sounds heard from their side are grunts and groans as she sets them to a state that's playable.
Some of them, out of curiosity looks to Kyoritsu's side of the court, where they see Hanamiya shouting about, uncaring of his team's condition. He seems to give more priority to destroying the other team over the welfare of his own.
"What now..?", asks Kiyoshi groaning. Silence suddenly fills their side.
"We crush them", Aomine and Kagami stand up together, fists clenched.
..........................................................
They all roared, like a battle cry, and stirred the audience into equally roaring cheers. The team broke the huddle and turned, five players marching towards the court as their teammates sent them off with firm fists pushing their backs forward.
Now cutting to the final tip-off, where Keio took possession of the ball in a flash, Kiyoshi slamming the ball to their point guard as the whole team drove forward without pause. The ball went from the him to Hyuuga who feinted against his mark, passing to the red head who made a cut towards the basket.
Haizaki was fast, having recovered after the timeout and managed to steal the ball from the double-teamed forward, immediately shifting into a drive towards the opposite goal. They almost matched Keio's performance in offense, switching gears in an instant and moving into a full court drive, quickly crossing into the opposite half of the court.
And it was a sudden moment, almost too fast to follow, when the ball was stolen from them in a rapid and abrupt flash, and Aomine had torn right through two players as he completely shattered the team's momentum.
He passes to the free Kagami then, who jumps from the three-point line and smashes the ball into that hoop.
The sudden change of pace doesn't seem to sit right with Kyoritsu, whose power forwar, Haizaki seems to take charge snatching the ball from Aomine's hands. He races to the other side of the court, the blunette following closely, and pushing past Keio's defense, slams the ball in with ease.
The sound of the dunk was loud and powerful, emphasized by the silence of the crowd. Haizaki landed on the ground, and the basketball bounced once before the audience erupted into a crashing wave of applause and cheer, the shock and awe reverberating through the air.
On his way down he had tried to duplicate his earlier move but Aomine was quick to dodge, much to his dismay.
The ball's back to bouncing from hand to hand, finally landing in Kagami's hands who, with his wild instincts and so close to Zone, pushes through Seto, only to hit a double team. He quickly passes to Kiyoshi who moves to the basket, thankfully not a second late in passing back to Hyuuga next who outsmarts Reo and three-points the ball in.
Seto, now under the hoop, pushes Kiyoshi forward, stealing the ball and throws it over to Hanamiya. Bushy-brows evades Aomine and passes to Haizaki, who's waiting across court.
Unfortunately for him, Aomine, with his intentional activation of the zone, snatches the ball literally from under his nose.
The crowd is a mix of gasps and hoots, and Aomine was so fast, plowing through the defenders with fakes and dribbles and crossovers so agile, it almost made the rest look like turtles. When he neared the goal, two players managed to get back to defend, and everyone's eyes were on Aomine, completely missing his spirit second's pass.
The ball seemed to miraculously appear in Kagami's hand as he stepped into their defense's opening and jumped.
The ball was in the air just above Kagami's head when he had soared right above the opponent's, and he brought his hand down over it and slammed the ball straight through the hoop.
Kyoritsu seemed to be at a loss, not knowing what the hell just happened.
Keio takes advantage of the situation and Kiyoshi flew into the air and vice-claws the ball, evading the opposition's late centre and passed to Aomine.
The ball was stopped mid way by Hanamiya himself, whose raging form disappears with ball almost as soon as he appeared. Eyes trail across the court to find him as the ball suddenly hits Seto, who dodges and catches it alley-ooping with Haizaki.
Their centre grabs the ball and throws it back to Haizaki, who jumps a moment too late as a certain red-head's shadow envelops him, jumping higher than he ever could and steals the ball right from the air above him.
He then cuts passed Kyoritsu's double team on him and throws the ball straight at the blunette with full force.
Aomine catches the ball with ease and evades the opposition, moving like the panther he is. Reaching the hoop he launches into the air, shooting the basketball into the hoop like it was a shooting star, and the audio was a crescendo of screaming and cheering, Aomine and his teammates roaring to the skies as the buzzer sounded, signaling their win.
The whole team pounced on Aomine, surprisingly Kagami the first on that list as they pile up and fall, laughing with pure joy.
Sticking his blue head out of the mounting pile, Aomine looks up, searching for familiar brown eyes, catching them in not more than a second. His smile stretches from ear to ear but before he could say anything the pile on top of him crashes down.
They're all quick to scram as the next second a certain blue-haired ace, his mouth wide open in a huge, joyous smile is hoisted onto the shoulders of his team and showered in the light of the arena and the cheers of the crowd. A quick round and he jumps down, letting Kagami take his place as he walks to his waiting coach.
He doesn't say anything, just making the few steps that were still separating them and lifted her off the ground, swirling her around. She rose with a slight and surprised yelp which quickly morphed into laughing. He laughed with her, extremely happy that this terror of a match had finally ended.
He gets her down slightly, not onto the ground, holding her by the waist and kisses her - slowly and softly, passionately, with just love and immense joy emanating from this simple act of closeness.
"Thank you...", she whispers through the kiss and leans in further.
After the kiss ended, the blunette doesn't immediately pull away, instead choosing to stand there for a minute just hugging the brunette. Finally he kissed the top of her head, something that was turning to be a habit already and moved away slowly.
"No... Thank you..."
The corners of Aomine's mouth moved up in one of the most gentile and genuine smiles he'd probably ever given. Mira's eyes widened for a moment at the expression. Aomine wasn't one to often give off affable gestures. To her , he always looked a bit like a wild animal. Yet this expression gave her a different opinion. He seemed calm, happy and at peace and she couldn't help but smile back.
"I'm so proud of you Aho...", she says softly and threw herself into the blunette's embrace again, a silent tear slipping out. She wasn't the only one though as Aomine's arms, almost crushing her again, were also trembling, tired and exhausted yet circling her like there was no tomorrow...
