Riki or niki you always called him was your childhood best friend, he wasa nerd but that changed right as high school started and he joined the basketball team

A boy had made a snarky remark about you earlier at school leading to niki beating him up and getting beaten up aswell

"You don't need to defend me," you applied bandages to his bruises

he didn't say anything but a small grin appeared on his face as he recalled memories from when you defended him in middle school for being a nerd
