Akashi's P.O.V

"Butler, start my car", I ordered the butler standing to my right while changing to casual clothes.

Akashi stepped inside his limousine ordering his driver to go to the given directions. At the said location Akashi met Midorima waiting for him.

"Where are they?". Midorima asked but Akashi only nodded beckoning him to follow. They saw Murasakibara and Sakuragi sitting at the bench in front of a sweets store, a shop from the owner of Amenity Condominium. They were eating sweets and talking about something that made their eyes shine. As Akashi approaches Murasakiba noticed him.

"Hmmm? Aka-chin!~". Murasakibara shouted waving his big arm. Sakuragi looked at the person Murasakibara is talking to and saw two colored hairs, one is green and the other is........ RED!. He couldn't believe his eyes someone has a red hair color whose height is........whose height is......... SHORT after all every person he know with red hair are known for their height, even women.

Sakuragi stood up and met the other red-haired halfway, "Your hair, is it naturally red?", Sakuragi asked without any shame.

Akashi only looked at him,"Isn't it common courtesy to introduce yourself before asking question". I stated rather than a question.

"No need, I have a feeling you knew me already so I guess it's you who need introducing". Sakuragi said innocently, Akashi quirked his eyebrows and smirked.

"I see, nice to meet you Sakuragi Hanamichi. My name is Akashi Seijuro and yes my hair is naturally red. Why do you want to know?".

"Are you sure you want to know?". Sakuragi asked nervously thinking he might be like Miyagi, who blows off when his height is mentioned.

"Yes, yes I do". I answered, genuinely curious

"Well, As said by the scientists in National Human Genome Research Institute and based on my observation because of their genes all red haired people are gifted with height. Why are you sho-". Sakuragi couldn't finished what he was saying when a colorful thing almost stabbed his face.

Akashi is holding a silver scissor with carrot designs on its handle courtesy of Midorima, his lucky item for the day. Akashi (almost) stabbed Sakuragi on his left right cheek if it wasn't for his fast reflex courtesy of Akagi (Gori punch).

"Woah! What the- are you trying to kill me?! You said YOU wanted to know!". Sakuragi shouted, surprised at Akashi's sudden intent to kill .

"Yes, I wanted to know but I didn't say I would like what you'll say". I said giving back the scissor to Midorima's held up hand, palm facing the sky. Hmmm~ he has good reflexes, not a single strand of hair was snipped. He also wasn't downright scared for his life, just surprised. "Come, follow me". Akashi said making his way to a familiar path.

Sakuragi's P.O.V

Sigh, I knew it, I knew this this is the place we'll go. I sigh one more time before entering the open basketball court.

"Please not this again, I can't play basketball". I said solemnly sitting on the bench.

"Why would that be? I remember you beating Aomine in basketball". Midorima said pushing his glasses up. Murasakibara glanced at Sakuragi curiously, shrugged his shoulders and continued eating.

"No, its not that it's just.........just.......it's just", the three waited patiently for my answer, "It's just I'm hungry". Midorima got annoyed to his answer and the two remained neutral.

"Didn't you just ate with Murasakibara?". Midorima asked exasperated.

Sakuragi only looked confused,"Sweets go to a different stomach".

"I strongly agree", Murasakibara said nodding his head in approval.

"I will pay for your food IF you play with Midorima". Akashi said trying to bribe Sakuragi.

"Really? Any food at any number?". Sakuragi asked not believing his luck.

"It is, as long as you eat it at one sitting, no takeouts". Akashi grinned internally, since no professional food lover would ever decline the offer.

"Deal!". I agreed with stars in my eyes. Just you wait burgers and milkshake, just you wait.

Sakuragi is known for his slam dunk, so what if- "To make this game interesting you can use any kind of shot except dunks, do you understand and no Sakuragi it won't affect the deal whether you win or not", Akashi said before Sakuragi could ask.

Game Start

(A.N:I'm not good with game scenes so please bear with me)

Midorima makes a large distance between them as he attempts to shoot and to his surprise instead of closing the distance, Sakuragi went to the hoop and jumped high. His fingers managed to tip the ball off its course. Sakuragi got the ball and shoots, a mid range. Midorima followed the ball to counter it but failed. Midorima has that ball and Sakuragi stole it swaying sideways much like Aomine's animalistic free form but refined. Midorima tried to steal it back but Sakuragi swerved around him and making a shot. The ball contuined to pass between two opponents.

0-9

In favor of Sakuragi. Midorima has the ball, he's a bit outside the half court attempting to shoot the ball. Sakuragi thought to show off a little he used his ultimate defense move, A Thousand Flowers from his name Hanamichi, Hana meaning flower. He just thought the name one time in a dream. Midorima hesitated but he still shoots, the ball has lost its speed and strength but not its accuracy. Sakuragi blocked it off easily and winning and that's not all, he's going home on a full stomach.

0-10

Midorima remained standing on the court, his eyes glazed. Disbelieving what took place at the very court he was standing. Akashi and Murasakibara are shocked, Akashi's eyes were dilated and Murasakibara's mouth is hanging open, pieces of slimy treats falling, wasted on the floor.

"Oi!, Midorima are you just going to stand in there and mope around?. Revenge game? are you not planning of having a revenge game?". Sakuragi remembered the scissor Akashi used, "Your a Cancer right?, I'm an Aries, a fire element though we're the opposite. Cancer and Aries are the good friends. Today's not your lucky day and to give you an advice combining lucky items and lucky colors makes it stronger, your lucky color for today isn't orange but pink", Sakuragi said trying to comfort Midorima in a subtle way. Midorima perked up at the mention of zodiac signs and slowly rose his head.

"......Oha...asa....". Midorima whispered

"What?". Sakuragi asked leaning further to hear Midorima's whisper.

"I said how to you know Oha Asa Horoscopes?, not that I want to know". Midorima asked plainly (curiously) but his eyes shining.

"Hmmm, Oha Asa? Ah! my uncle works as an editor there so he sometimes gives me free magazines and he even used my phone to suscribe on the daily horoscope". Sakuragi said nonchalantly.

Midorima's eyes shined more brightly if it was possible and his body shaking in contolled excitement,"Here's my number, my email and the address where I live". Midorima said as he snatched Sakuragi's phone on his back pocket.

"Ah! Akashi you owe me food, let's go I'm starving!". Sakuragi said already leading the way to the nearest fastfood store.

Midorima have Sakuragi to himself while walking to the store chatting about zodiac signs, lucky items shop, compatability and more to Murasakibara's dismay, he wanted to chat more about sweets. Akashi at the back walking slowly, thinking about the game that happened and Sakuragi's strength which the two forgot.
