OPEN: The 17 Year-Old Virgin

bluezone[ It all begins because Aomine is bad at English.
He's bad at a lot of things in school, to be fair. With his seniors currently busy with their own hefty study schedules due to college entrance exams, he's down to just Wakamatsu, Ryo, and Satsuki tocarry support him through his classes. This means his grades have been getting worse, which have ironically begun to hurt his chances of making it to games despite all the practice - or "trying out his new shoes" or "working some kinks out of his back" or "I can do what I want, shut up" - he's been putting in lately. As thirsty as the Touou athletics division is for a serious title instead of what tournament circles have started to call a habitual second place slot, there's only so many ways to cheat Aomine into a passing grade.
So there's no more just napping and taking baths at home. There's no more napping and reading magazines at school. There's no more skipping out of his last class to just shoot hoops in the park where no one can bother him. Satsuki already took all his skin mags, Wakamatsu locked up all his basketball shoes in the team's practice facility, and Ryo now eats lunch with him every day, just so he can do one thing: study.
And study.
And study.
And study some more.
They only reason his dad hasn't put the wireless behind a password is that so he can study at home, but if his dad thinks Aomine isn't going to look at porn when he and mom happen to be out, he's got another thing com-- ] ...what?!
[ Aomine, sitting at his desk in sweats, a t-shirt, and with a box of tissues on his lap, is also staring at his laptop screen.

That's BULLSHIT!
[ A half hour and a lot of swearing later - one foul word for every new HAS BEEN BLOCKED discovery - Aomine is morosely browsing US basketball forums, because his dad hadn't thought to block non-Japanese sites. However, it all comes back around to studying once again, because instead of tissues, Aomine has his English textbook and dictionary on the desk and in his lap and he is stubbornly, bitterly attempting to fuck around, even if he has to learn English to do it.
Eventually, a forum topic that translates, roughly, to "HOW BALL BETTER YOU?" catches his eye. A look through the posts shows many of them to be too long to attempt, but a few are a couple sentences; one or two is just one short statement. He picks several of them and goes to work, muttering under his breath as he puts together semi-legible sentences:
"SOCKS HIGH ME."
"THROW TWO HOUR BROTHER."
"PLEDGE TAKE."
And so on like that, most of them without replies. One, however, earns a long, intense comment chain, prompting Aomine to put a little more effort into getting it to make sense:
"LOTS OF ----- I GET."
Lots of...something. A word he hasn't seen written down. It makes him feel too much like an elementary school kid, but Aomine has to take each letter and sound it out. ]
Ph...uhs...cee.
[ The heck is that even supposed to-- ] ...oh.
[ Aomine's eyes widen with revelation. ]
Ooooohhhh.
[ He spends another half hour deciphering the rest of the comment chain, making out agreement after agreement and, in a few cases, stories from guys about how one night made all the difference in their game, even dropping a few juicy details here and there.
That's all Aomine really needs to be convinced, or at least, convinced enough to give it a shot.
That's why, sometime after 9:30 PM on a Friday night, one unfortunate (or fortunate?) number on his contact list is going to be getting a call, which consists of: ]
Hey.
[ He says as a greeting, before immediately leaping into his next statement: ]
I need to have sex.

He has his own midterms to get through himself, after all, and the roughly gajillion other responsibilities of a teenage overachiever. But some time after his midterm results come out with the perfect sweep of top scores across the board, he is driven by a masochistic form of pride to actually make good on his word.
Ring ring you better pick up Aomine his blood pressure is already going crazy. ]
So, let's hear it. How are your grades?
[ He could say hello or something, but whatever. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-03-03 04:23 am (UTC)He is a changed man.
It's been a terrible six weeks. Things got worse before they got better; the Touou academic administration made good on their threat and he missed one game. They lost that night. They lost, and Aomine went home, and locked himself into his bedroom with his failed pre-test papers for a whole weekend. When Akashi calls after the whole affair is behind him, he's facedown on his bed, a basketball under one arm and a mug of black coffee on his nightstand.
He almost doesn't pick up. When he does, he doesn't look at the number, and says, first, gruffly: ]
Shut up. Don't bother me.
[ But then he recognizes that voice, and he remembers a month and a half ago, when the world was still beautiful and he was still innocent.
Aomine sits up. ]
I passed.
no subject
Date: 2016-03-04 02:08 am (UTC)Good. If you're willing to listen to suggestions — [ Yeah whatever he's going to make his anyway... ] — perhaps you wouldn't struggle so much academically if you were more consistent with actually studying.
[ ... Anyway, now onto the part Akashi has nobly been trying to not think about too hard all this while. ]
I take it you're still trying to fix your sex problem.
no subject
Date: 2016-03-10 06:02 am (UTC)[ About studying, he means. He hasn't told a soul about his agreement with Akashi, mainly for two reasons: first, it's nobody's business, and second, no one would believe him. Probably. ]
Yeah, I am.
You gonna hook me up?
[ And while there's nothing on this green earth that, he, Daiki Aomine, can do or threaten Akashi with, there is nevertheless that ominous tone back in his voice again.
He didn't suffer through all of this to not have sex. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-03-14 12:40 am (UTC)I don't break promises, even if I might regret giving my word in the first place.
[ He's not even going to deny that he regrets this, no. ]
Just wondering, but... the absolute bottom line here is that you have sex, right? Everything else is just detail.
no subject
Date: 2016-03-29 07:15 pm (UTC)[ Said in the tone of a man who's had that on his mind this whole time, repeating it like a prayer or an oath. ]
And with a real person, not a doll or something.
[ In case there's any loop-hole searching going on, because he knows Akashi: he's a (fatally) smart guy who'd think through all the possible options. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-03-31 03:34 am (UTC)Very well. I don't see a lot of options left, then. I think it would make the most sense for me to come visit you personally, at this point, and talk about what the plan will be face-to-face. Does that sounds alright to you?
[ He's trying to think of it as a business trip.
... He's failing, for once in his life. But he's trying. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-03-31 08:06 pm (UTC)[ Aomine's assumption: Akashi is going to bring a girl. From where and how, he has no idea, but technically that's not his problem; it's Akashi's. ]
When?
[ Because, you know, he's ready any time. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-04-03 02:10 am (UTC)I think it'd be prescient to rip the band-aid, so to speak. I'll come over next Saturday. Should we meet at the train station, or shall I come to you?
no subject
Date: 2016-04-03 11:36 pm (UTC)I'll meet you at the station.
[ And click goes the phone.
Sometime between hanging up and meeting with Akashi, he'll call back to actually work out a time, considering he failed to do that previously. But contrary to his usual behavior, he'll be at the station right on time.
In fact, he'll even be a little early, phone in hand, as he flips through a map search. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-04-05 01:40 am (UTC)Or something is looking to be the more likely option.
Either way, he can only move forward and he's going to get kicked off the train if he lingers, so he doesn't dawdle about and walks straight over to Aomine. ]
... It's really not like you to be so punctual. I didn't keep you waiting long, did I?
[ Not that he expects this to buy him much time. ]
Let's get lunch and... discuss things. I don't think we should do this in the middle of the train station.
no subject
Date: 2016-04-08 06:09 am (UTC)[ Although Aomine is...not surprised, but maybe a little confused. Akashi is alone, which sucks, but maybe they'll go somewhere that there's a girl?
...or they'll go to lunch. Okay. ] ...sure. There's a Maji Burger down the street from here.
[ Because of course there is. ]
Shouldn't be too packed right now.
no subject
Date: 2016-04-17 02:55 am (UTC)[ He'll let Aomine lead the way, then; in a shocking twist, he's not particularly enthused about this venture. ]
So perhaps I should ask... what exactly are your expectations right now?
[ Akashi wants to know how badly the reality is going to break these expectations before he has to start talking about The Plan. ]
