You're in a place called Holly Heights. No one ever told me why we were brought here, but apparently the landlord is a dick, so. [he shrugs casually.] Also no, you don't own a house, you're not old enough to yet. You should have new "parents" though.

[he gives kise a flat look] Do I look like I would have an evil twin? What the actual fuck Kise?

And what do you mean by what do I mean? You know as well as I do that that's the last match of the Winter Cup.

Well, I-

[Kise stops abruptly when he hears that last statement. A cold feeling settles in his chest, the statement not matching up with anything he remembers. Does he have like amnesia or something?? Wtf??]

Aha...that's not a very funny joke, Aominecchi! [He forces a laugh, a grin.] You almost had me, though- we're just. It's not past the semifinals yet.

[he quirks a brow.] What are you talking about? Yes it is. [tho aomine definitely feels it too. he's able to at least recognize the unsettling feeling in his stomach to where this conversation is heading.] That's the last thing you remember, right? Playing against Tetsu's team?

No. [His smile drop. He's not sure what's going on or how this is actually possible, but he doubts Aomine cares enough to bother lying to him about this.]

We just finished our win against Fukuda Sogo. You're saying I- Kaijo loses.

So you mean you don't-- Shit-- [he runs a hand down his face and sighs. he's not entirely sure if he should tell kise the outcome, but... he's also never really been the type to lie or sugar coat things either. so with that he looks to the side and nods.] Yeah.

[Well. Maybe if he spent his time training here, he can go back and change that. Somehow. He's not sure how that works, but it's a hope.]

Ah-- did we put up a good fight at least? Were you able to make it to watch the game?

[i don't think that's how that works here kise.... anyway he nods.] Caught the tail end of it, and that was pretty good. Would have been better if you weren't injured.

[He DID injure his foot with Haizaki, but surely it wasn't bad enough to show... or enough to cost them the game.] Haha...what do you mean? I'm fine. Don't tell me you're worrying about me, Aominecchi!!

[dude it was bad. bad enough for him to give kise dat look even.] Okay then, if you're fine play one on one with me. Right now.

[There's a split second of hesitation, but Kise has never turned down a one on one with Aominecchi and he's not about to start now.] You're on.

And we're going to use the court thats in the sports center. [because walking there will definitely make it worse, amirite?]

Don't underestimate my perfect copy. [A grin, just like the old days.] Lead the way Aominecchi!!!

[and of course he has to take the longest way possible.] I never said I doubted it.

Maybe not, but let's call it a warning. [He walks carefully, not wanting to agitate it. It doesn't hurt yet but he's sure if he twists it wrong, it'll -- he doesn't want to think about it ]

Right, warning. [oh hey looks like he was heading the wrong way. so to fix that he takes a sharp left to ensure that they get back on track.]

[Kise stops, turns- carefully!!! You won't get him yet Aomine.] Do you even know where you're going Aominecchi??

[damn and here he thought that that was a pretty good trick. he doesn't actually want to play against kise with his injury, because it could potentially fuck up his career. (not that this is any better??? but that's beside the point)] I've only been to the center once.

Only once? But you've been here a month? [Kise frowns, upset that Aomine seems to be losing a little interest in basketball. Or maybe there's a street court somewhere?]

[there's totally a street court nearby. but he's not going to bring that up lol!!!] I just found out about the center, so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone.

Well, I'm not gonna disappoint you. [He follows after happily, humming.]

You better not, or I'm going to be pissed. You'll be my first actual challenge. [because no one really approached him while he had been here by himself. also oops he might be taking you all over town.]

That's what I'm here for!! [Kise grins like sunshine, proud to hear that Aomine counts him as a close equal. He almost forgets that he can't move on with Kaijo to the finals. Almost.] It'll be like Teiko all over again!

[at least he made it further than touou did though...] It'll be the better parts of Teikou. [before things went to hell in a hand basket.]

[Kaijo was here, Touou is a loser.]

Ah-- yes, that's true. [A wistful smile, and his hands fold behind his head as he thinks back to those days, not thinking too much about his posture or walking stance.]

I never thought I'd be able to relive those memories again!

[oh what was that? you didn't want to play one on one anymore???]

Yeah I didn't think I would either... [he's glad tho. because he's actually able to enjoy the sport again rather than being stuck in that rut.]
