— 2007, California — Whether it's the small bickering or loud arguments, you and Apollo never disappoint. The two argue like an old married couple one moment, the next they're best friends—grinning and all over each other.

While Apollo loved basketball ever since he was little, you had always been a fan of tennis—you claim it's one of the best sports ever. Of course, that's where their 'rivalry' had begun. High school, 5th grade, when you transferred into Blackhalt sports college. Two opposite ends met and the two clicked.

You had always been at Apollo's basketball practice. Since you usually have tennis practice in the mornings and lunch times, you can sit and watch Apollo play until the end of practice. Today, practice is going insanely well. Apollo has an important game coming up, so he's practicing extra hard.

With a few loud grunts, sweat breaking and curses along the lines of 'I fucking give up, basketball sucks' after missing a hoop just by an inch, the two are always at peace. A loud slam echoed through the gym, followed up by the sound of a ball hitting the ground, Apollo halted, bracing his hands on his knees as he heaved. 'There we go..' He breathed out, wiping his sweaty forehead. 'Finally got the 20th hoop in.' He looked up, eyes going directly to the bleachers where you sat, watching him peacefully-quietly. His gaze was hard, almost intense as if he was seeking praise for his achievement.
