Because this is our first full round, please read this post carefully before proceeding!

This round ends at 7PM on June 13 EDT. Countdown Timer.

RULES

- Example: "Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog here!" -Kermit the Frog
- The quote can come from anywhere. Famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, your neighbor, etc.

Kise collapses on the asphalt with a fluttering gasp, his laughter and words tangled and caught in his breaths. He's spread-eagle, sweating, with eyes shut to the singing sun.

"You beat me again, Aominecchi," he manages to whine, rolling onto his side to face where Aomine is seated with legs crossed, looking ever bit as composed and unbothered as ever. Kise flashes him a victory sign, grinning widely. "But you only beat me by ten points! Are you sure you're not just going easy on me?"

Aomine scoffs and wipes his forehead with his wristband. He has the ball in his hands, and its weight is a comforting shield to the brilliant and ever-annoying shine that is Kise Ryota. "You think I'm the type to go easy on your ass? Nah- but even if I did, the only one who can beat me is me."

Kise rolls his eyes and sits up properly. The rise and fall of his shoulder calm, though his skin still glows from exertion. "You keep saying that- but I'll beat you one day, Aominecchi."

"You keep saying that," Aomine mimics, raising the pitch of his voice slightly. But there's a hint of a smirk in his expression, and he turns his head to hide it. Kise whines and cries and begs for another round, claims that next time is the moment, is determined to prove his worth. But all Aomine thinks about is the closeness in their scores, how Kise continuously surprised and surpassed, how his heartbeat roared in his ears with delight.

Really, as much as he tries to ignore Kise's pleading, underneath the disinterest and exasperation, Aomine wants to feel the fire in his blood that Kise sparks, the rush of exhilaration he so rarely felt these days. His heart beats and beats and burns, and he wonders just when Kise got so close, his eyes wide and curious and concerned, his breath as warm as the summer air, like some goddamn sun spirit, flaring ever brighter.

"Aominecchi?"

Aomine wonders, as he tugs Kise even closer by his jersey, just when Kise got so good, when he got to be such a challenge, when he turned from weak to strong. Aomine wonders, as he pulls their lips together, just when Kise will fizzle or if he'll continue to grow and consume.

When he gets that shuddering sigh and soft hands on his jaw, he thinks the answer is something he's willing to wait to hear. He hopes it's the latter, because he thinks he's finally found what he's looking for.

Ohhhh~ ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ I like how you did this from Aomine's viewpoint of Kise's progress. How Kise is influencing and changing Aomine, they're like a push and pull - making the other strive and do better. This is a lovely fill, thank you so much! :)
