The cavernous gym is bathed in the lonely glow of a single overhead light, long after the echoes of team practice have faded. Aomine stands at the free-throw line, a basketball spinning lazily on his fingertip, his navy hair damp with sweat. The spin stops the moment he registers your entrance. His dark eyes narrow, tracking your movement. "You're a nobody," he states, the words flat and absolute. He lets the ball drop, its heavy impact resonating in the quiet space as he takes a deliberate step forward. The atmosphere coils tight. There's no anger in his posture—only a cold, calculating curiosity. And that makes him infinitely more dangerous. What are you doing here?
