Part 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tsukiko’s POV

So the rest of the day, me and Aomine had been strolling around the park hand in hand, just enjoying our surroundings and is now at ease since Aya and Satsuki are not tailing behind us anymore. I can’t help but blush whenever I looked at our intertwined fingers so I just choose to look up ahead.

“Hey is it okay if we rest for a while?” Aomine asked glancing at me.

“Uh sure” I agreed and he pulled me to a bench nearby as we both sat on the bench.

There was an awkward silence between before he spoke. His question caught me by surprise because I’m now staring at him looking like a dumbfounded idiot who has no idea what to answer to the guy who just asked me: “What are your plans after this whole competition?”

“What?” I leaned closer. He looked at me with a serious looking face.

“You know, what are your plans?”

“Oh, back to school I guess…” I trailed off and remembered something. “Probably go back to my province after the school year”

“What?” he perked up his widened eyes staring at me.

“Relax, Aomine it’s just for the summer, I’ll be returning to Tokyo for high school” I laughed calming him down.

“Oh right…” he blushed, that I always seem to enjoy because he can be so cute!

“Aomine doesn’t want me to leave huh?” I cooed pinching his cheeks as he flinched.

“That hurt” he complained.

“So anyway, what do you want to do for our date besides sitting here?” I crossed my arms, asking for a suggestion from him.

“How about the arcade?” he suggested as I tilted my head to the side.

“What?” I raised an eyebrow. He returned the gesture and asked me. “An arcade, don’t you know what that is?”

“Province girl?” I pointed at myself a matter-of-factly with a raised eyebrow.

“Oh god, what have they been taking you to over there?” he stood up and pulled me with him. “C’mon!!!” pulling me with him, we ended up going out in the city as we entered a noisy store full of people who are playing at shining boxes and receive coins from underneath it. I wonder how it works.

“A-Aomine, where are we?” I hold on to his shirt as several guys passed by holding tons of prizes in their arms. I blinked my eyes curiously at them and turned to Aomine.

“Man you are clueless in the urban world” his comment made me pout as I smacked him at the arm. “C’mon” he pulled me with him to a game box; I think that has steering wheels detached on them.

“H-How do you play these things…” I pointed at them and turned to him. He let out a chuckle. “Man, if basketball was in video games you’d be called the wiener player” with that I punched his arm again.

“Shut up!” I sighed with a blush on my cheeks. He grinned down at me; “C’mon I’ll teach ya” he let me sit down on one of the chairs in front of the monitor and stood beside me. Surprisingly, he put his arm around my shoulder and supported my left hand with his and his right to mine as I hold on to the steering wheel.

I didn’t even hear all the instructions he gave because I was too captivated in my situation. I mean Aomine has his arms around me for god’s sake—gah I can’t stop blushing…

“Oi Tsukiko, Tsukiko!” he called, waving his hand in front of my face.

I shook my head going back to reality and looked at him. “Were listening?” there was a hint of hurt on his face because I wasn’t paying attention.

“What? No, no, no! I was—I get it, don’t worry” I assured giving him a smile.

He smiled back and went to the seat beside me. “Then I guess you’re ready to take me on” he disappeared for a few minutes and went back with some coins in his hand. He inserted one into the game box thingy in front of both of us, as the game started.

“Hey, hey, hey!” I chanted as the countdown started. 

I don’t know what I’m doing.

…

A few minutes passed and I’m starting to get the hang of it. At the first game, I lost to Aomine because I wasn’t really paying attention on his lecture. But after a few games, I managed to get it and happen to beat Aomine in 2—3 games so far.

“What?! That’s so unfair!!!” he whined like a 5 year old.

“Just accept the fact that I can beat you in every game there is” I boasted patting his back. “No!” he lifted his head and pulled me towards another game and another and another, and a few hours passed…

…

He still lost…

…

“I give up” he mourned on the floor, purple lines surrounding him as if he doesn’t want to live anymore. I sweat dropped and just patted his back and noticed a game we still haven’t tried.

“Hey Aomine” I tugged his shirt. He lifted his lifeless head as I pointed at the game I was talking about and smile at him. “Why don’t we try that one?” I suggested as I help him stand up and walk over to the game I was pointing at.

“What? But this isn’t a game…” he trailed off.

“What? So why is it in an arcade then?” I crossed my arms.

“Well, not exactly a game, but you just have to get a stuff toy by using this crane and that’s it” he explained. “I think that’s the game itself”

“Oh, so the stuff toy’s your price?” I finished and receive a nod from him. “I see! It’s kinda like a gold fish scooping game!”

“You really are a province product” he sighed. I gave him a pout and stared at the stuff toys inside. Aww, those look really cute! Especially that Black Panther in a cop suit! I think I want to try and get it.

“Can I try?” I asked giving him a puppy dog look—well in some shows, this cute thing works so—“Yeah sure, here” he gave me one of the tokens he bought as I excitedly put in the arcade and tried it for a few times but still—NO LUCK.

“This game sucks!” I screamed in frustration and started to kick it.

“Hey stop it!” Aomine restrained me, pulling me away from the game. It felt really awkward because he has his arms around me; not even making me move and his face was only a few inches from mine. “Um…” I stared at him while blushing. He noticed the distance between us and immediately lets go of me and looked away. “Sorry…”

“It’s okay” I smiled at him.

“Do you want me to get that panther for you?” he asked, as I lifted my head meeting his gaze. His taller than me for a few centimeters…

“Wha--” my eyes widened for a bit and softened. “—Sure” I said.  So he did get it for me and guess what, he was SUCCESFUL! How on earth?! “Here” he handed me my desired stuff toy planting a smile on my face as I hugged like a little girl just got a new doll during Christmas. But no—I don’t like dolls.

“Arigatou!!!” I let Aomine join in the hug and kissed him on the cheek.

“N-No problem” he gushed while touching his cheek and also returned a smile. His phone suddenly rang so he excused himself while answering the call. It was noisy at the arcade so he had to take the call outside. I waited for him inside while looking at the stuff toy I received happily.

“Hm, you’re from Aomine… I think I’ll name you after him” I talked to the stuff toy. Gah, I look stupid. “But what to call you…?” I thought rubbing my chin.

“I know!” I pointed my finger upwards and accidentally hit someone with the back of my hand. God, what the heck?! I looked over to my shoulder and saw a blonde guy lying on the ground with his eyes swirling. What the heck!!!

“H-Hey, are you alright?!” I knelt down beside him as he sat up rubbing his head. Did I really hit him that hard?

“Y-Yeah” crap, he’s American. He looked confused and stared at me with his blue eyes and titled his head to the side. “Who’re you?”

Crap!!! How do I speak with this being?!

“I-I, T-Tsukiko” I tried to answer hoping that he’d understand me.

“Oh you’re Japanese” what the--?! He can speak Japanese!!!

“Sorry, I’m just used to talking to Japanese people who speaks English” IS HE INSULTING ME? “No offense though”

“Eh? Whatever” I sighed getting up. “Here” I lend him a hand in standing as he gave me a “Thank You” and smiled sweetly.

“Tsukiko right?” he said and offered a handshake. “Yeah” I accepted it. “What brings you here in Japan?”

Well we sorta went back to Japan after that victory in Britain. What? They say the finals are going to be held here. The Americans have to go HERE. HA.

“Just a little bit of sightseeing and--” he got cut off by his phone ringing. So he answered his phone for a bit and immediately hung up then let out a frustrated sigh. “I’m sorry but I have to go now, my manager’s calling for me”

Manager? So is he a celebrity or something?

“I’ll see you around, Tsukiko” haha, he pronounced my name with an accent. And with that he ran off and at the same time, Aomine entering the arcade.

“Hey everyone’s looking for us, we should go” he said, stretching out a hand.

I gladly took it and walk with him, our hands laced together and my other hand holding… “Hm, hey Aomine, give me a cute name to name him” I said referring to the Black Panther I was holding.

“Huh, why?” he asked.

“Cause I want to name it you aho!” I replied. “Give me a cute name after you”

“Don’t ask me, I don’t know how to give nicknames to people and stuff” he shrugged. “try asking Aya”

Oh little did he know when we met up with the others, I asked Aya for a nickname and she ended up giving “Daicchibi”. Well she calls Aomine “Daicchi” so she thought by putting chibi on it can be the name of the stuff toy. Much to Aomine’s dismay.

I just giggled.

“Hm, so how’d the date go?” Aya smirked at me, nudging me by the shoulders.

“The date you guys planned?” Aomine raised an eyebrow at her.

“I wasn’t talking to Daicchi!”

“Stop calling me that already!”

“Whatever! I’m talking to Tsuneko, don’t disturb me!” Aya and Aomine’s arguments are making me laugh.

“Relax, Aya, I’ll tell you all about it later” I winked at Aomine who instantly blushed. His face turning crimson red and joined the guys leaving us girl behind.

“I call for a girl’s slumber party!” Aya declared and ran off going to Akashi’s side.

“Hey Tsukiko…” Aomine took my side again while blushing. I was surprised by a kiss on the cheek and him smiling sheepishly. “Thought I returned the favor” he scratches the back of his head.

I smiled at him and took his hand in mine again. “Thanks, I was waiting for that” with that he instantly blushed again. “You’re doing it again…” he trailed off.

“AOMINE STOP THINKING LIKE THAT!”

“I’M SORRY!”
