[third person's pov]
[the next day - 2days before the Inter-U Prelims]
3pm and all the team members of the Keio University team were rushing through the corridors hoping to make it before their monstrous coach got there.
Too bad though. They stormed in only to see Mira standing right in the middle of the court, files in hand, shoe tapping in annoyance.
"How is it that all of you manage to be late at the same time..?", her angry voice echoes through the silent court.
Stopping in our tracks, the entire team, Aomine and Kagami included, bowed down in apology. None of them would admit it out loud, but they were all terrified of their young coach's temper in just these 3 months of knowing her. If pissed off enough, she could bring the entire building down..! Godzilla 2.0 is what she is..!
But her temper coupled with her love for the game and determination to win fueled the team and boost their performance. So somewhere deep down, way past the fear of having a basketball shoved down their throats, they all secretly thanked whatever God was up there for this monstrosity of a coach.
You see, before this year and maybe the last, Keio was a university where nothing but academics flourished. No extra-curriculars had that honor.
But since the arrival of prodigies like Kiyoshi, Eikichi, Hayama and Hyuuga, the last year was a blast. And this year was even better seeing as 3 more joined the hall of fame..! Keio was never prouder of these recruitments and supported the club tremendously.
Coming back to the situation at hand, all players started lining up, preparing for the oncoming blast....
But none came.
"Ugh..!", she said shaking her head. "Get changed and get your sorry asses on court in 2...", with a slight pause and seeing no movement, "SCRAM", she yelled and everyone obeyed without so much as a whisper.
In 5 minutes, boys clad in their new Keio uniforms were powering through the court, yelling passes with the ball in hand. Today was all about getting used to the feel of the jersey fabric. All except one.
Kiyoshi Teppei was no where to be seen.
"Oi Hyuuga", called Mira. "Where the hell is he..?"
Hyuuga took a second to understand her question and quickly replied dodging the ball as it passed right past his face.
"No clue. The last I saw of him was while running here..!", he exclaimed.
Just then, all heads turned to the door as a loud feminine laugh was heard.
"...ts just mean..!", said a male voice.
"I'm just being straightforward..." With all eyes to the door Kiyoshi walks in, with an all too familiar blond clinging to him.
As if finally noticing all eyes in them, they turn and the smiles vanish from their faces, replaced by a slight blush. Kiyoshi's being more prominent.
"Ohh hey..!", the blond chirps, meeting our gaze.
Alex. Ex ace of the WNBA and mentor to Kagami and Tatsuya Himuro.
In all honesty, unlike the rest of the team, Mira and to a small extent, Kagami, weren't all that surprised about their appearance together. After all she was the one who helped Kiyoshi through surgery and therapy after that. In short, she was the prime reason for his speedy recovery.
After surgery, Kiyoshi had come to visit her back in the States with the blond casually tagging along with the stupid pretext of making sure he wouldn't simply hurt himself.
Mira was still in high school. And she practically idolized Alex, who was super popular at the big leagues. Imagine the surprise that hit her when her brother randomly shows up at the stadium with her right beside him.
Needless to say, she was fangirling no end, but her serious ways kept her from exploding right then and there. After the pleasant little chat they had, she challenged Alex to a one on one, just to try out her luck. To the surprise of them both, the match was a tie.
Alex was mightily impressed by this kid Kiyoshi was so fond of. And so, from then on, whenever they played, she'd slip some new techniques to the budding player and when displayed on court, Alex's heart would swell at the sight. You see, to Alex, Mira wasn't a mere apprentice, she was a rival of sorts who had captured the interest of the ex WNBA ace. It's why they were so casual with each other.
"Don't you trust your beloved apprentices to play properly without some last minute guidance..?", Mira teases.
Alex just chuckles at that. "Haha..! Ohh how I wish that were true...", she walks to the young coach and crushes her into a hug totally invading said coach's personal space.
"Ohh stop..!", Mira tries, not too hard, to push her away. "You of all people should know how I hate hugs..!"
"Honey, if you had your way, you'd not have ANY physical contact with ANYONE..!", Alex teases back.
"Hey..! I do so with good reason..!", the coach retorts.
"Sheesh..! If you girls are done with your no so pleasant pleasantries, can we please get back to practice..?", Kagami calls across court.
Alex turns in his direction, smiles and turns back to Mira.
"Ohh yeah..! Sorry for the interruption. I was just visiting. I'll be at the stands if anyone needs me..!", she says as she walk over to Kiyoshi and whispers something in his ear.
His blush reappears at that. Alex pulls back and with a slight peck in the cheek, storms off to the stands while Kiyoshi is left staring at her fading form until a few seconds later his attention snaps back to the court.
Awkward...
Hyuuga, Kagami and Mira stand there, heads tilted, with a weird expression on their faces trying to figure out what the hell was happening.
"Jeez stop the staring. You'll embarrass him further", the trio jump as Aomine's voice snaps them back to reality and they turn to take their positions to resume practice.
.................................................
That day practice went smoothly.
Except of course for the creepy smiles and smirks Hayama was giving coach. And Aomine didn't know why but he couldn't help but get mightily irritated at that. The only thing that kept him from blasting was the fact that Mira wasn't responding to Hayama in the slightest. Either she was too thick-headed or just didn't give a damn, he didn't know. But Aomine was sure happy with it.
The best part was that the players were pretty comfy with their new official jerseys. No itching or rash. So mission accomplished.
Ales stayed through practice. Kagami got a nice shouting followed by a big lecture about how he had barely improved from when in high school and how he was putting too much pressure on his leg.
Kiyoshi got the opposite treatment. He was being showered with compliments and smiles with Alex babbling about how proud she was of him for getting back in the game, with full force, so quickly. Mira and Hyuuga practically fell to the floor watching Kiyoshi at a loss for words, embarrassed and blushing furiously.
All this while Hayama was trying to coax Mira to go out with him while she was too busy packing for the tournament and was paying him no attention. Aomine, Kagami and Eikichi was snickering watching this pitiful sight. Kuroko just stood there shaking his head and inwardly shaking his head as to how troublesome his team was.
Riko was on the rest giving them some last minute instructions and warnings as she wasn't gonna be representing Keio as head coach this year, Mira was. So she too got a full hour's torturous lecture on how to handle this stupid bunch of thick-heads and not go absolutely ballistic. Momoi was to accompany her as the team's manager and also, if called for, to stop Mira from shoving basketballs down their throats.
At the end to today's ohh so tiring practice...
"Oi you staying back today..?", Aomine asks walking to the young coach.
"Uhh yeah...", she says turning to him. "Hey are you mad at me..?"
"Huh..? Now why would you think that..?", Aomine says with a chuckle.
"Uhh never mind...", says Mira. "I'll see you in a few minutes..?"
"Yup", he says with a look of slight excitement and starts walking to the lockers
[later in the evening]
"So you nervous..?", asks Mira as she walks into the empty locker room.
"Not at all...", Aomine looks up at her only to see her looking at the floor with a slight worried expression.
"Hey... You okay..?", he asks concerned and walks to her.
"Yeah...", she says as if a little unsure and Aomine is quick to catch that.
"Ya know... It's okay to be a bit nervous...", he gives her a reassuring smile.
"This your first time as coach..?"
"Yeah...", Mira says with a chuckle. "I really don't wanna screw up..."
"You won't..! If anything you'll make the opposition pee their pants..!"
She gives a slight chuckle and lifts her head to look right into those cerulean orbs boring into her.
For the first time since they met (like 2-3 months ago) was Aomine able to take in all of her features. Starting from those shimmering brown eyes to those soft cheeks to those ohh so luscious lips... Everything about this girl was so interesting... So charmingly beautiful...
Mira on the other hand had similar thoughts running through her mind as well. In the 3 months that she'd known him, she'd come to admire and respect him greatly. The guy might not have been the most intelligent of the lot but he was far better than any guy she'd met (excluding her brother of course). She'd seen a lot of the "player types" in the States but Aomine was very different.
He was one of those pure hearted souls who had eyes for one thing and one thing only, Basketball. But recently, she could feel that changing. The way he'd secretly steal glances at her during practice, the way he'd be all smiles with her in the evenings not to mention the way he'd try and act all smart in front of her. What really confirmed it for her was when he interrupted that date. It was a sorry attempt of an interruption but a welcome one. She's felt so stupid and guilty later... Usually she'd just brush it off, but when it came to him she just couldn't... Her mind would scream for her to treat him like one those random flirts but her heart would muffle every single one of those screams and replace them reminders of him instead.
"I'm sorry...", she said with a soft voice, not daring to break eye contact.
Aomine gave her a puzzled look.
"If it makes you feel any better... Yesterday was kinda boring...", she said with a playful smile.
"Your date..?", ohh so that's what she meant.
"Why do you say that..?", he asks slightly curious. Aomine was under the impression that Hayama showed her a great time because of which she forgot about their little meeting.
She walks over to the bench and sits down.
"Well for starters my mind was completely occupied with the on coming tournament... I barely paid any attention to him..!", she said with a guilty face.
"And after you showed up... Let's just say I was totally guilt ridden. I didn't mean to forget... I just dunno what happened..."
"Hey it's cool..! I totally understand...", he walks to sit beside her, secretly relieved she didn't enjoy that bastard's company.
"I'm being incredibly mean aren't I..?", she asks with a slight chuckle.
"I see it as you just being honest"
"Funny how my brother said the exact same thing..."
They sat there for a few moments not knowing what to say...
"We..."
"You don't..."
They say at the same time and then laugh it off.
"You go first...", says Mira.
"You sure..?", asks Aomine. She just nods.
"Don't worry about the inter-U okay..? You'll do great..!", he puts an arm on her shoulder and says with a soft smile. She smiles back.
"No...", she says. "WE'll do great..!", she exclaims smiling back.
"You're not as bad a guy as everyone else makes you to be"
"You're not as scary as everyone makes you to be", he retorts.
She laughs at that and he joins her. They share this moment of sorts. A moment of understanding and comfort and they spent the rest of the evening talking and teasing and just having fun.
