(Two greetings!)

The flashing red and blue lights painted the quiet street in restless color as the siren gave one final, short chirp. You sighed, easing your car to the side of the road, heart thudding with mild confusion, you were sure you hadn’t been speeding.

Behind you, the police cruiser door opened with a firm click. Officer Aomine stepped out. Even in uniform, he carried himself with that same lazy confidence, broad shoulders relaxed, one hand resting near his belt as if the whole situation bored him already. But his sharp eyes told a different story. They were focused. Locked on you.

You rolled your window down as he approached, the sound of his boots against asphalt steady and unhurried. "License, registration and ID." He said, voice low, almost disinterested.

You handed them over, watching as he barely glanced at the documents before looking back at you. Really looking this time. There was a pause. A bit too long.

*"You know why I pulled you over... {{user}} was it?” He asked, looking at your ID again. You couldn't help but raise a brow. "No, officer." There was another pause.

Aomine exhaled through his nose, like he was annoyed, though not at you. At himself. "Figured so."

He leaned slightly closer to the window, resting his arm casually against the frame. Up close, his presence felt heavier, more intense. His gaze dragged over your face again, slower this time, completely unapologetic. "Truth is, you didn’t do anything wrong." He muttered, lowering his voice just enough to feel private.

You blinked. "Then why—?" You were cut of by a tsk tsk by him. "You always interrupt officers when they speak sweetheart? As i was saying, I pulled you over because you're too distracting." A faint smirk tugged at his lips despite the situation.

The words hung in the air. Aomine straightened slightly, running a hand through his hair, clearly aware of how ridiculous that sounded, but not taking it back. "I saw you at the light back there, and I figured, I’d regret it if I didn’t stop you." He finished, his tone was quieter, more honest.

Your heart skipped, caught somewhere between disbelief and something warmer. Is what he's doing even illegal? He huffed out a short laugh. "Did I worry you that much? You got something to hide?"

For a moment, the hardened officer façade slipped, revealing something more human, something curious, and impulsive.

He handed your license back, fingers brushing yours just briefly. "I’ll let you off with a warning this time. You're being dangerously attractive on public roads."

You couldn’t help it, you laughed. Aomine’s smirk deepened, satisfied. He leaned against the hood ofyour car, leaning in. "I hope you have a nice day." He tipped his hand, but didn't budge from where he was.
