"So, this world might actually be a little more exciting than we initially thought" Said Akira, "I came across a small basketball court near the central park, a few block from here" He continued to narrate
~Flashback~
"Oh man, I still can't really believe this is happening!" A tall blonde young man said to himself as he scanned his surroundings trying to decide where to exactly head down, 'Now… where exactly should I be going?' He asked himself and after a few seconds of deliberation he continued to walk down the same path, noting any landmarks he could in an attempt to familiarize himself with the new city he found himself in
After walking down, the same path for a few minutes he came across a park that many people walking through it, some jogging down the path and others holding hands with their significant others, but what caught Akira's attention almost immediately was the sound of a basketball being drippled a little further away, with a delighted expression he quickly made his way towards the all too familiar sound
'Oh man! Lady luck you bless me once again!' Thought Akira as he spotted a blue haired tanned young man, running circles around some poor kid in a one-on-one basketball game
'My luck has always been unmatched, that's why so many people were salty I'd always get those 5-star characters so quickly, f2p for the win baby!' Continued Akira before quickly running closer to the field, noting that the poor kid could no longer keep up with the tanned boy
"Hey man! You were running circles around that kid, weren't ya?" Asked Akira, an excited grin on his face, finally coming across the one anime character he had wished so long to be able to face off against
"What can I say…. It's not always a good thing…. Basketball has become so boring as of late, no one can keep up" Replied the tanned boy, "The names Aomine, and you?"
"Akira at your service" said Akira with a mock salute to his new friend
"Right, Well Akira" Continued Aomine, "You're pretty tall, how tall are you?" He asked as he had to look up a tad to meet the blonde's gaze
"6'5 (195.98cm) "Replied Akira sporting a smug grin, feeling a sense of victory over his new friend, "You wouldn't have the energy for one more match, would ya?" Asked Akira, hopeful
"Well considering that match didn't last very long, and the fact that I didn't even have to try hard, I'd say I do." Said Aomine as a feral grin graced his face, 'It's rare to find people that can compare to me in height, barring those two idiots… This might be worthwhile' thought Aomine, "Just try not to lose too badly, yeah?" He continued, "Let's say first to 50?"
"Sure! Loser has to buy the other a drink" Said Akira with an innocent smile on his face, 'Man I can finally do this, oh goddess of reincarnation, I love you!' He thought to himself as he readied himself in front of Aomine, ready to finally play against his all time (one sided) rival
After the two were face to face, Aomine tossed the ball in to the air which prompted the two to face off immediately, jumping with full force Aomine had planned to completely decimate the poor blonde, 'This'll teach you, height doesn't mean anything if you can't use it to it's fullest' Thought Aomine, the thought was quickly cut short as the blonde was able to push off the ground faster than Aomine, taking full control of the ball before the other could touch it
Taking the ball into his possession the blonde quickly made his way to the opposite net, leaving the bewildered Aomine behind. The shock didn't affect him to long before he swiftly bolted towards Akira, doing his best to guard the blonde. Not letting up for even a second, still not taking the match too seriously, 'So the tall bastard can move huh?' Thought Aomine as he didn't allow even the slightest opening for the blonde to score
'Well… He isn't a part of the generation of miracles for nothing, this one's gonna be tough' Thought Akira as he too smiled wildly, 'better kick it up a notch' Akira then started moving faster which shocked Aomine, this then led to Akira being able to be the first to score
"And that's the first point of this match" Said Akira as he smiled towards Aomine, "Though I do have to recommend, don't go easy on me, okay?" He continued as he rolled his uniforms sleeves up donning a feral grin of his own, the pressure this boy was exuding was enough to send a shiver down Aomine's spine
'Oh…. This is gonna be amazing' Aomine couldn't help but think as he took a deep breath, and for the first time in a long time, Aomine who was a part of the generation of miracles, had to take this game seriously
Seeing his blue haired partner finally taking him seriously, Akira was beyond delighted, 'come on baby, show me this world's best'
The game then continued, with neither side letting the other score too easily, to Aomine delight, Akira was able to keep up, no Akira was able to challenge him. For so long did he dream of this moment, of someone being able to push him to his limit, to rekindle his fiery love for basketball
The game then ended with Akira finally being able to score the fiftieth match point, the two were huffing after a long fought battle, drench in sweat Akira couldn't help but regret not having worn lighter clothing
"So" Huffed Akira after taking a few seconds to catch his breath, "I guess this means you oh me a drink, huh?" He said with a chuckle as he looked towards Aomine
"I guess so, but that can wait" Replied Aomine, "You aren't going to get me all hot and bothered and then think we are ending here" He continued as he straightened back up with a grin, "we keep going until we can't move anymore"
'Big pause there buddy' Thought Akira wryly
"The drinks can wait till later, let's keep going" said Aomine as he grabbed the ball and readied himself to face off against Akira again, much to his delight the blonde boy didn't back down and much to the shock of the crowd that had formed around the court, marveling at such high gameplay being shown
Murmurs could be heard from the crowd, "Hey isn't that Aomine from the generation of miracles?" Someone asked for clarification, "Yeah didn't he and his team dominate the basketball scene all through out their middle school years?" Someone else asked, "Wait who's that tall blonde, and how can he beat him?!" Asked another
"More importantly is he a foreigner? Look at that blonde hair… and how is he so handsome?" Asked one of the females in the crowd, fanning her reddish face, caused by the now somewhat translucent uniform Akira was wearing, the sweat having made it stick to him showcasing his muscular and fit body
"No one cares about that woman!" Replied someone else, "Look! It seems they are going to keep going… man those two are monsters!"
The two then went on to play four games in total, Akira winning another one, and Aomine winning two, they were completely tied skill wise, but the sun had set during their last two games, to which they had to call it a draw
The crowd having dispersed after the second game the two found themselves alone
"Well, let's call it here." Said Akira as he had finally checked his phone just in time to catch Tatsuya's message to the group chat, "You can buy me a drink next time! Gotta go" He swiftly said, while he enjoyed playing against Aomine, his friends take top priority
"Wait before you go" Exclaimed Aomine before the blonde could get too far, "Add me on socials, I'm not letting this end on a draw" he said as he quickly pulled his phone out of his small gym bag, to which Akira happily nodded as he traded contact information with him before bidding goodbye and walking away
