A Proper Lady Should Greet Others First

This is Olivia's Father, Ivan Floris. A quiet Russian man that has an aura of a Bear but actually he is a gentle giant and have Social Anxiety, just like his daughter.


Seirin High School was able to make it through the first preliminary game. The next team to play against Seirin would be Jitsuzen High, when Olivia sat on the bench next to Kuroko she noticed that he was shaking his leg constantly. He was twitching. Olivia looked up thinking that he maybe nervous. Olivia, being the nervous queen, could maybe help him ease his nerves. Kuroko noticed her stares and knew the reason why she was staring.


"I'm just feeling restless."


Olivia shyly nodded her head in embarrassment, maybe she's not good at reading people as well as Kuroko. Kuroko was benched through out the whole second game, the score was 118 to 51. Olivia cheered internally. Kuroko stayed on the bench most of the time and all Olivia could do was pity him. She knows how badly he wanted to play but Riko being the demon coach she is didn't allow him. The poor girl didn't have the confidence to ask Riko to let Kuroko play in at least one game.


It was the forth game now, Right when the other team came in Olivia could hear them talking down on Seirin and the team. Olivia frowned at the insults that was directed towards her precious team. Then another thing she notice about the other team and that they were the same group of guys that Kise, Kuroko and Kagami had beaten in that park a few days ago. When the mentioned group saw both Kagami and Kuroko Olivia couldn't help but giggle at the blood being drained from their faces.


And just like the other games Seirin won with a massive amount of points compared to the other team.


"At this rate, we'll easily make it through the preliminaries and the championship league."


Furihata said with a small innocent smile.


"How naive"


Izuki said while shaking his head.


"It must be nice being so young ad carefree."


Koganei stated while Mitobe nodded in agreement. Olivia didn't know what they meant but she didn't want to press on the issue to much.


"For the last ten years, the tree same school have moved on to the championship league from Tokyo. King of the South, Shutoku, King of the West, Senshinkan and King of the South, Seiho. All three of them are evenly match so the top team changes every year, but they never let anyone get better than fourth place."


Olivia was amazed at how strong these other teams are, as Hyuga kept explaining the more nervous she gotten for the victory for Seirin.


"After our fifth match and after our semi finals we're mostly going up against Shutoku.......and right now they have one of the Generation of Miracles, Midorima Shintaro."


Olivia ear perked when she heard "Generation of Miracles".......she's going to met other one of Kuroko's middle school friends. She hopes that he would be as kind as Kise.


"But You guys made it to the championship league last year....didn't you?"


"Yeah, but we didn't stand a chance"


Olivia felt the air dropped, she wanted to say something before she was interrupted by someone saying "Look, they're here."


Olivia may not be well versed in basketball and it terms yet but by the way that Shutoku stood and walk and the way the crowd was cheering for them that they're a strong team. Once again Olivia saw the saw green haired guy at was looking at her before. Right not he was looking straight with a scowl look on his face and next to him is rather a cheerful guy with his hands behind his head and giving a goofy smile. The black hair male noticed her staring he gave her a large toothy smile and a wave. Olivia didn't know how to respond to the friendly gesture so she just waved back. Unknown to her Takao gave a smug smile at Midorima in hopes to make him jealous. It was working.


"I'm going to say hi."


Yea......WAIT WHAT!!?"


But before Hyuga could register what Kagami was doing Kagami was already making his way towards Midorima. Olivia saw both the green haired high schooler and Kagami tali king before Kagami came back with a smug smile on his face. Olivia knew that Kagami wanted to provide him...like how Kuroko would provide him.


Now the match is starting, Olivia watch in awe at how amazing their play was, especially Midorima's shots. Every time he would take the show it would always make it inside the net. Such accuracy, Olivia was so emerged in the match that she didn't noticed Riko trying to get her attention.


"Floris-san!"


Olivia flinched at Riko sudden yell of her name.


" I was meaning to ask you if you could get the team something to drink, they seem pretty thirsty."


"O-Okay."


Olivia got up, but before she left to get drinks she noticed that they're already at their last quarter......how long was she out?


One by one, Olivia bought and paid for every can drink and placing them in her hands. But it seems that she's having some trouble trying to hold all the drinks in one arm, right when she was reaching for the last can all the cans in her arms fell to the floor and rolled into different directions. PANIC MOOD ACTIVATED!!!! Olivia was trying to collect all the cans before someone trip over them. When she was chasing one she didn't notice a tall figure infront of her. She noticed when she ran into them, Olivia looked up to see a pair of green eyes.


"I'm s-sorry."


Midorima couldn't get any words out of his mouth, what does he say? What does he do? When panicking on what he should do the Seirin manager started picking up cans from the floor. Maybe he could help her.


"Do you need any help?"


The voice of Takao automatically ticked off Midorima.


"Please."


Olivia's soft voice that Midorima could listen all day. As Midorima stood in his place in a daze Takao started helping Olivia with the fallen can all over the floor. Takao took the chance to try to get to know Midorima crush.


"I'm Takao Kazunari, you must be Seirin's manager, right?"


Olivia quietly nodded her head as she kept picking up the fallen cans.


"Well, my buddy over here been eyeing you for a while and he really wants your phone number."


"TAKAO!!"


Midorima's sudden outburst gave Olivia a scare that she dropped the can again. Her eyes were widen and slightly cowered away from the angry basketball player. Takao saw her change of demeanor and had to comment on it.


"Sorry about that lady manager, he tends to get mad when things do go his way."


Many red flags were popping up right now, Takao was making him into some kind of awful guy to the person he been showing interest in. Midorima has to put a stop to this.


"Please don't listen to him miss.I can assure you I'm not that kind a person."


Olivia was still kinda unsure at how to approach this situation right now, Midorima bent down and handed her a can.


"T-Thank you."


Olivia gentle took the can from Midorima's large hand and she unintentionally brushed the tips of her finger at the palm of his hand. Midorima could have sworn he felt a jolt when he felt her touch. As his face gotten redder and Takao's smug smile gotten wider, he decided to pop the question.


"I........I was meaning to......ask....umm...."


Then Olivia's phone rang. She pulled it out to see a text notification from Riko.


"Where are you? Me and the Team are getting ready for the next Game."


"I have to..go."


Olivia bid both Takao and Midorima a farewell and went on her with with the now picked up cans. Midorima was about to call out to her but it suddenly dawned on him..........he doesn't even know her name!!!! He couldn't help but to pinch the bridge between his eyebrows in stress. She was right in front of him all he had to do was ask for her name and number but it seems that that simple set of words got stuck at the back of his throat........Takao was having the best time of his life, he was just enjoying Midorima trip over his words infront of his crush.


"Don't worry Shin-chan, we'll meet her again. If anything I'll ask for her number and give it to you.......since I'm such a great friend."


"TAKAOOOO!!!!!"


The whole basketball team suffered from stiff muscle and soreness, Olivia offered to rub some ointment in some of them but they were to embarrassed to be rubbed by their precious manager. But Kagami, he was the one that suffered the most but he took this chance to get closer to Olivia. As he took off his shirt Olivia couldn't help but advert her eye, her cheeks now flushed. Kagami saw her state and could help but tease the poor girl.


"You like what you see?"


"Wha!?"


Olivia's voice became high and now her face flashed pasted three different to shades of red. Her face now looking like a fish and both her face and the tips of her ears of a deep crimson color.


"HAHAHA, you should look at your face right now Floris! I never seen someone become so red!"


He was teasing her, Olivia face stayed the same but now she was pouting.


"You're mean, Kagami-san."


Olivia looked on the ground while still pouting, she clenched the ointment close to her chest like its her lifeline. Kagami wanted to feel bad since he made her mad but the face she's making was worth it. He kept her laughter on the inside so he would make the bunny even more mad then she is right now.


"Sorry about that Floris, I just wanted to tease you. That's all. Don't take it personally."


"I...I knew that."


She really didn't.


"Sure you did."


Kagami turned around so Olivia could rub the cream on his sore muscles. Right when she touched his back she felt him flinch.


"S-Sorry."


"It's fine, I just didn't expect it to be so cold."


Olivia kept rubbing the cream on Kagami. Both of them stayed silence, a comfortable silence. Reaching the back on his neck she saw the chain she always sees Kagami wearing. It seems to have great importance to him.


"K-Kagami-san, can I ask you something?"


"Shoot"


"W.......what does your.....your necklace mean?"


"Oh.....um..well in a way, its a promise I made a while back. I intend to keep it."


Olivia peered over his broad shoulders to see him clenching the ring hanging off the chain. Olivia's eyes soften.


Now today was the day, the match against Seiho. Olivia was helping the other teammates gather their bags and Riko with some of the paper work. Olivia made her way too Kuroko to give him a bottle so he can become hydrated before the game.


"Thank you Floris-san "


"You're welcome."


Kuroko drank from the bottle, but he was looking at Olivia while he does so. Olivia was able to talk more louder then he first met her and he see her smiles more often. But he wasn't the only one that noticed the change of Olivia, Kagami noticed it to. Kuroko pushed that soar taste back down. Olivia wanted to change, he should be proud of her not jealous.


"Kuroko-san?"


Olivia's gentle voice dragged Kuroko back to reality. Olivia looked up in concern, Kuroko pale blue eyes fell into her blue eyes. He brought his hand up and gently cupped her cheek. Olivia flinched at the sudden affectionate touch but she didn't pull away.


"Floris-san, after the championship I was meaning to ask yo."


"Captain, this is the guy right? Seirin is really weak, but they have one strong guy."


A loud, and obnoxious voice interrupted both Kuroko's and Olivia's moment. It was a average looking Japanese high schooler with a shaved head. Olivia looked on with curiosity at what's going on, before the said loud bald male noticed her staring.


"WHOA!!! Captain look, they have such a pretty manager!!!!!"


Kuroko now moved infront, he kept his face stoic but everyone in Seirin knew how protective Kuroko is of Olivia.


"Hey pretty manager, what's your name? Can I have your...OWW"


"Quit messing around you idiot! Sorry about that, this guy can't read situation well, so he tend to say what he's thinking."


"Let's go Floris-san, you'll catch their stupidity."


Kuroko pushed Olivia to he locker rooms in hopes that she wouldn't get hit on but the other team again. In the locker room everyone stood in silence. Olivia felt like she should do something but what? Then a loud clap came from Riko


"You guys are too upright, I though of a reward to cheer you up."


'reward?' Olivia wanted to know what kind of reward Riko would give to the team. Riko then struck a cute pose.


"If you win the next game, me and Floris-chan would give you each a kiss on the cheek."


All the boys stood still, a kiss? a kiss? A KISS FROM OLIVIA!!?? No way in hell would they miss this one in a million chance. Riko was quite surprised at how pumped the team got when she mentioned 'Olivia' and 'Kiss' in the same sentence. Then again if she were in their shoes she would react the same way.


Poor Olivia didn't know what's going on but she was just happy that the team got the necessary motivation they needed.


Sorry to the late update, online school has taken a toll on me and it really difficult to try to update this story as often that I want. But with the amount of support I've gotten I've received the necessary motivation I need to keep writing.


Thank You and See You In the Next Chapter.
