Hello!
This is a Midorima x Kuroko fanfiction me and my friend Tetsu Tsubaki Kuroko made and we based it in our on going roleplay on facebook.
We are still going to edit our work since we only copied and pasted our roleplay through here so please be patient with some or most of our errors and we will be happy to receive a constructive criticism about it.
Thank you and enjoy!
The entertainment news on the television flashes on his eyes as his name Midorima Shintaro appeared below the screen. It was about him coming home from France after a big concert in there.
Midorima Shintaro, 23 years old; a prodigal son of two doctors; A handsome genius when it comes to classical instruments and music and now a big hit in music & entertainment industries in the entire Asia and some parts of the Europe was swarmed by the media as he stepped out of the airport. He missed being home in Japan and he felt happy /although not showing it/ once the plane passed the border. Right now, after passing the reporters and cameramen, he's currently sitting inside the limousine with one hand under his cheek while his elbow was supporting it. His eyes were bored as he watches the news on the screen.
Although he may appear as a cold and stern one, he loves making music with passion. With the support of his family and some friends behind him, he can easily shrug off some growing problems and scandals when it comes to his 'love life' when there is not. Some actresses just quickly jumps on his skin whenever they feel like it or they are just doing it for their statuses and popularity. Despite being so popular, Midorima also feels lonely. Like he wanted someone beside him. Who thinks and feels the same way like him. The one who also enjoys music like him. He lets out a sigh and just turned the small tv off and just stared out of the window.
After a fifteen minute drive from the airport to a five star hotel, Midorima quickly passes the entrance then to the elevator up to where his suite was since the media wasn't stopping until they got some news. It irks him off. Why can't they just leave him alone for one minute? He thought. His manager gave him an update that he will have a two days off so he can enjoy his freedom now which was a relief. He wanted to be out and act like a normal being with no cameras following him around. With no one to tell him what to do with his life. He stayed in his suite for an hour while lazing on his bed until he got an idea. He wore a rather simple clothing like a shirt plus a black hoodie accompanied by jeans and black and white sneakers. He also took a grey beanie to cover his green locks before he made his way out of the hotel stealthily so he can roam around the streets of Tokyo in the early evening. Midorima smiled once he was able to get out by himself and no one was able to recognize who he was.
Sitting in the park close to the hotel that had just been ransacked by paparazzi and fans, Kuroko rolled his eyes feeling sorry for the poor person being surrounded. He didn't like the idea of being surrounded by people who only knew him because of the big name and not much else.
Average was the best way to describe the blue haired male, everything he did or had done in his life was average. He was an average musician who didn't get any notice thanks to his lack of s presence but it never stopped him from continuing what he loved so much, he loved to make up songs that were partially about his life but mostly made up on the spot.
Every day Kuroko had a routine of sitting in the park with his guitar and a music book with a pencil attached. Would spend a few hours coming up with some lyrics and notes even though he knew nobody would care.
Deciding he might as well play what he got he put the sheet music in a suitable place and then placed his guitar in his lap and started to play what he had, a few people walked past but nobody seemed to stop and watch but that made it much easier for Kuroko to get into his music more.
Not long after starting Kuroko had finished what he had written he put the guitar down and sighed not knowing how to progress with his little song.
Midorima never had such moments like this ever since he become popular. To be free even for just a while. He was also happy at the same time because no matter how much he gazes to other people, they couldn't tell it's him. To be not followed by annoying paparazzis and even stalkers.
He places both of his hands inside his jean's pocket as he strolled around just near the hotel since there were boutiques, shops, food stalls around. There was even a park just a few blocks away from where he was. As he stopped by in a music shop with his eyes darted over the displays in the window, he heard a tune that was playing somewhere around him. Despite being surrounded by loud honking cars and people chatting around, he was able to hear this faint sound yet he can still pick up the tune. A beautiful tune to be exact. His ears followed the sound on where could be the main source until he stopped in the park. Midorima spotted a teal haired person just a few meters away from him. The certain person was playing a guitar yet it was producing such beautiful tune. Midorima was captivated. He thought it was a female at first because he looked like one from afar but as he approached the person, he was wrong.
After spending a few moments just getting lost in his head Kuroko picked up his book and started to write again and every so often would rub out notes and replace them and hum it out loud to see if it sounded alright then would repeat the process until it actually sounded right and fit with the rest of the song and then would move onto the next part.
It was a slow process, but Kuroko had a lot of time on his hands so he really didn't mind it, it killed his time and he enjoyed just getting lost in the music even if nobody would ever listen to his song. Still getting lost in his own world Kuroko didn't notice the looming figure of the tall male until he looked on the ground and noticed a shadow that wasn't moving.
Slowly the small male turned his head to look at the much taller male and blinked a few times, the face seemed familiar but he couldn't quiet put his finger on it. "Um... Hello?" He said and closed his book and naturally went to put his hand on his guitar, it was a natural case for him to go and keep his guitar safe as it was his treasure and didn't want it to be taken.
His mouth went agape from being caught. Honestly, he didn't intend to 'stalk' the person who was making the sound but finding the person up close and learning he's a guy, he still felt flustered for no reason at all. His gaze, there was something in it. Those blue orbs looking at him as if it's full of mystery. This must be mysterious person he just had encountered. But surprisingly, he wasn't found out who he was. Or maybe he wasn't that really popular at all. "O-Oh... I am sorry for disrupting your peace but- I just heard a nice sound and I found out it was your playing." Midorima said in a honest manner. Despite having a tall and lean stature, the guy in front of him was rather small. A petite guy who's filled with mysteries as what he thought. But his mysterious aura captivated him. He wasn't sure but he suddenly felt like he was a huge fan of his playing
This guy was a bit weird... That's all Kuroko could think after watching the person for a few moments, he was even getting flustered? Kuroko had definitely caught him without realising it. "Oh, thank you. It's nothing special just something i started a week ago" Kuroko said and opened his book and went to the right page and showed it to the man. "Have we met before?" He asked then stood up and noticed there was quiet a distance in height between them, it sure did suck being so small. "Your face seems familiar to me..." Kuroko trailed off from speaking and kept looking at the others face trying to figure out where he knew him from, was it from school? No... busker? no, tv? actually it might have been.
Midorima gulped, feeling nervous from the sudden question. Ah. He was popular indeed and for one second he doubted it when he was wrong. What should he say? Should he just tell him the truth or not? If he does, would this guy scream out his name and let the people hear that the great Midorima Shintaro is at the park at the moment? If he learned it's him, would he keep his silence? He wasn't sure. Just by looking at the teal haired male, he wasn't sure of what he was thinking. Nor he could read his expression. Though he got to admit that up close, this guy seems good looking. Not just good looking but an adorable one. To think that he's thinking something like that was so out of him. But that wasn't the issue because right now, the smaller male is asking him if why he is familiar. "...Err..."
Seen as he wasn't getting much of a reply he might as well just leave it, the taller of the pair didn't have to answer his question if he didn't want too. "You don't have to answer if it makes you uncomfortable" kuroko said and then went and sat back down and patted next to him. "Shall i play for you? You said you heard the song but i can play it for you where you can properly hear it" kuroko said then picked up his guitar and placed it on his lap. It was nice for someone to stop and appreciate his music. Kuroko looked again at the male and looked closely then let his lips drop apart, the pin had dropped. "You're Midorima Shintarou, aren't you?"
Midorima thought that the smaller male would just drop the topic off as he sat and played the guitar once again. As much as he wanted to secure his situation right now, he couldn't help but get enchanted at the composed song of the teal haired male. He should be popular as he is. Not just as an entertainer like him but he can make it as a composer. But the moment only went in a few minutes until the smaller of the two spoke causing his body to stiff from the words he said. "H-H-How did you know? I was able to get out without being noticed." He madly stuttered and now he is looking like a fool.
"Midorima-San has a very unique face shape" Kuroko said then went back and played his guitar not completely bothered that he was meeting the famous Musician. "It's nice to meet you Midorima-San" he said politely as he played then stopped and held his hand out for the other "I'm Kuroko Tetsuya, an average guitar player and composer" he muttered the last bit, he felt a bit awkward now playing, his music wasn't great and he had heard how good the other was at playing, well if Midorima had gotten good of course he would be famous. It was nice seeing how Midorima wasn't always so composed and could actually get flustered.
It was so surprising for Midorima. This lad Kuroko Tetsuya didn't even scandalize his presence for everyone to hear and he even introduced himself. He must be a rare being with the same likes as he has that made him feel attracted to him. Wait-attracted? He thought before shaking his head. "N-Nice to meet you too, Kuroko Tetsuya... Average you say?" He asked before sitting beside the smaller male and then continued, "I don't think that is an average composer's work of art." He said in a matter of fact. He was starting to get so curious about this guy when he just met him out of the blue. Like he wanted to know everything about him. He's full of mystery indeed. It was also a bit bolder of him to sit beside Kuroko with no permission at all.
Kuroko watched as Midorima sat down next to him without feeling awkward which was nice. "Would Midorima-San play it?" He decided to ask, it was always nice to hear compliments but it meant a lot to him that Midorima liked his song. "Does Midorima-San enjoy bring s famous musician?" Kuroko had mixed opinions on whether he would like the fame or not, he doubted Midorima got his own space and time to just walk around. He actually felt sorry for the musician. Actually getting to look at Midorima he found the he was actually quiet handsome and had a nice face shape and eyes.
He raises his one brow in curiosity as Kuroko asked him if he can play the guitar. Of course he can. He wasn't called a musical genius for being able to play five instruments such as guitar, bass, violin, drums and piano which is his forte. He even produced lots of songs without using autotunes and just pure instruments. "Sure... Here.." Midorima said as he took the guitar from Kuroko as he played one of his compositions that is Maigo no Kokoro(Uta No Prince OST guitar version) as he hummed the lyrics. Most of his compositions were rather made by his brain and not by his heart. He made them with no feelings at all yet the people loves it. He wanted to create something that will struck the hearts of the listeners. Maybe Kuroko might be able to help due to the fact that he was enchanted by his music.
Kuroko blinked and kept his mouth closed, it seemed he had been mistaken but he wasn't going to complain he got to hear the great Midorima play, but it felt like he was missing the most important part of playing an instrument. "Midorima-San isn't feeling the song" he said once Midorima had finished the song and while he enjoyed it he wasn't as emotionally connected as he hoped he would."if Midorima-San learnt to feel his songs not just play them he will enjoy playing a lot more" Kuroko always felt with his heart when he played, he couldn't play a song without feeling even when he played small parts when he started to make the song.
Midorima was struck by Kuroko's words. He was right. And that what he was thinking ever since. To find someone who has passion in music than those who just make it with no feelings at all. "You know, you caught my interest.. All my life I just play and play. Write new songs but I can't hardly feel anything on it yet it came out good for most listeners. It upsets me because there's no spark in it and people only cared for my popularity than my songs. Like there was no meaning in it. But you- you are thinking the same as me.. And I am glad..." Midorima honestly said but on his last sentence, he was about to say he was glad that he met Kuroko.
Wasn't it just common sense to have feelings in the music? It makes it much more enjoyable when playing the songs, and it can be quiet mesmerizing watching a musician so into their song and being in their own world. "We are artists after all, i'm glad we're the same Midorima-san." Kuroko was thinking how he could help Midorima and then his song came to his head. "Why don't you try and play my song? And instead of trying to be a crowd pleaser, think of if Midorima-san is enjoying playing it" Kuroko said then got his book and put it on his new songs page and handed the book over. "I would really appreciate it if Midorima-san played my song"
"Would that be alright if I play it? It's your song after all." He said and feeling a little flustered due to the fact that the other male was making him play his song that is so great in ears. What would happened if he messed up? That would be humiliating indeed. But wait-is he doing this just to have an opportunity to listen to Kuroko's music? Or he's only doing this to impress him? His head is a bit bubbly inside as if he is talking to his long time crush.
"Midorima-san." Kuroko put his hand on Midorima's and looked at him with his usual blank facade which turned to a small smile. "I would really appreciate it if Midorima-san played it" it wasn't complete so maybe Midorima could join him as he worked on it and it would be good if the song was what helped Midoima become more in touch with his feelings as he played. "Would Midorima-san like to play some now or wait till its finished?" Kuroko would like it if Midorima did play some while it was developing as he could figure out where to take the song next.
Kuroko's touch was hot for him. Too hot. Or was it him who is feeling warm all of a sudden? And that smile. My god. Midorima must have been going insane right now and the rapid beating of his heart wasn't helping either. Why was he feeling something like this? He knows to himself that he is happy that he met Kuroko but with this heart-thumping sensation like this? He wasn't even sure but it feels good somehow. He bit the inside of his cheeks to wake himself up and just focus on what he was doing. "Y-Y-Yes... I would like to play your song.. D-Do you have the n-notes?" He stutteringly asked while his face was burning up.
Slowly Kuroko nodded and then went and got the notes and handed them out to Midorima. "Is Midorima-San feeling alright? You look a bit... red" Kuroko pointed out and found it quiet nice seeing Midorima getting all flustered, he didn't understand why he was looking like that but he enjoyed it it was a nice sight to witness. He doubted he had caused it as what could he actually do to someone he only just met? He didn't know.
He quickly took the notes from Kuroko as he focused himself on what was written on the notebook because if he continued looking at Kuroko, he was sure that he will be able to feel it again. He took the guitar and followed what was written on it but since the sound came out so perfect and heart warming, he was able to get carried away and immediately forgot all his worries and just with him and Kuroko. The tune was calming and his mood had gotten better just by listening to the tune until he was able to finish it. "... That was-amazing..."
Kuroko watched Midorima and found it to be hypnotic, watching Midorima forget about everything around him and just enjoy himself made for a much better performance and it actually made the musician look quiet attractive. Knowing that his music has helped Midorima feel it made his heart swell with pride and it made him want to finish it off as soon as he could. "I'm glad Midorima-San enjoyed it"
He was overjoyed as he suddenly took the smaller male's hands. "That was good!" Midorima said with a happy expression on his face. He rarely shows this side of him but he was truly happy. He was unconsciously holding Kuroko's hands until he realized what he was doing so he immediately retracted his own hands. "S-S-Sorry.. I-I didn't mean too." He madly stuttered as his face heated up in embarrassment.
Kuroko felt his cheeks up as his hand was held then felt his hands getting hotter as they where held. Just as he was about to squeeze Midorima hands, he felt Midorima let go and was at a bit of a loss and instantly missed the warmth. "It's okay" He said and then got the book and wrote down a few notes that had popped into his head after hearing the song being played.
There was a few moments of silence grew in between them as he watches Kuroko took the note and wrote something on it. He can see his passion for music as he took his time studying the smaller male's expression until he was already unconsciously drawn towards Kuroko. He can be describe as a cute one though. His silky smooth unblemished skin along with his dashing teal hair makes him really adorable looking.
After finishing writing his notes Kuroko closed his book and put his pencil in his pocket. Slipping his phone out of his pocket he looked at the time then put his phone in his pocket. "Is Midorima-San doing anything tomorrow? I'll be here tomorrow if he wants to meet up again" Kuroko said then started to pack his guitar away, he had to go and get something to eat before it got too late.
He was snapped out of his thoughts when Kuroko had started to prepare to leave. Midorima almost felt sad but he just met Kuroko and who know what he will do after this. "O-Oh... You're leaving already? And yes, my manager said I've got a two day offs and I should spend it rather wisely." He said, raising his hand to fix his glasses. He can't believe that they are going to part already. Part of him wants to spend more time with him but part of him not due to the fact that he might be spotted by sneaky paparazzis and stalkers.
"I have to get home before it gets late, i have been told of numerous times for walking around when its dark" kuroko slung his guitar over his shoulder and held his book in his hand. "Unless Midorima-san wants to get something to eat with me?" He didn't mind if the other joined him for food, it would be a nice change from eating along with his dog.
"Would that be alright if I join you? I mean- you know I have to take precaution since you already know about my situation.. But I'll be happy to join you to eat." He said as he fixes his beanie and eyeglasses along with his clothing so that no one would notice him. He was excited. He had never felt so normal like he just met someone with a burning passion in music just like him. And now he's inviting him out. Plus, the guy is cute- wait- did he just thought of that again?
Kuroko moved the guitar case to the front and put his music book inside the front part then put it properly on his back again. "I don't mind, i did offer" kuroko thought about where they should eat and decided he might as well let his guest decide "where would Midorima-san like to eat?"
"I think you're the one who should be the one to decide since I am perfectly fine wherever you want to eat." He said in a matter of fact. "But hey, I can carry that guitar of yours if you want. It seems like heavy for you." He said, being a gentleman to another man. He couldn't help it. Kuroko seems so fragile and needs to be protected. He was the one who said that he needed to be careful when going out every night, right?
Nodding his head Kuroko thought about where they should eat then decided it would be easier to go to Maji seen as it was quick food to get. "Let's go to Maji then, they have good milkshakes. Thank you for the offer, but it's not actually that heavy" did he look that weak? Well the guitar was a bit heavy but not massively, it was nice that Midorima had offered. "I'm used to carrying it every day but thank you for asking" Kuroko said then started to walk out of the park, it really was nice to have company and someone to talk to, there is only so much talking you can do with your dog before it starts to get a bit worrying. "So has Midorima-San only just got back to Japan from travelling?"
Since Kuroko refuses his offer to carry the guitar, he just let him carry it but he couldn't help but feel a little bad seeing Kuroko carrying a heavy stuff. "So you were updated with the news.. And yes. I just got back from France and had a concert in there.. What about you? Do you have an agency where you submit your works?" He asked the smaller male as they made their way to this 'Maji' as what Kuroko said. Walking around like this in public made him miss his childhood days when no one restrict him to not go here and there. As they were about to cross the road, a young man riding a bicycle was going fast. They were about to cross the pedestrian lane but it seems that the guy wasn't planning to slow down and Kuroko was unaware of it. Panic rushes in his blood and just a meter away from them, he grabbed Kuroko's arm and pulled him towards him.
Seen as Kuroko was talking to Midorima he didn't pay any attention at all to his surroundings finding it more enjoyable hearing about the life of Midorima. "I heard you went and seen as you're here... Did Midorima-San enjoy France? And no I'm not, I haven't tried going to companies either" Kuroko didn't want to loose his love for music by getting forced to have to make songs in a certain time period. He enjoyed what he had going now. Getting to the path Kuroko presumed it was empty and safe to walk and went to step then stamped when he was pulled back. Falling into Midorima Kuroko held onto his top feeling his own heart racing. "Thank you..Midorima-San..." the smaller male said just loud enough to be heard then pressed his head on the males chest. Kuroko could feel his heart pounding from the shock and definitely glad he had met Midorima.
"Are you alright, Kuroko?" He asked the smaller male and was panicking a little. He was about to call the guy in the bicycle but he needs to prioritize Kuroko first whether he's been hurt or not. Midorima was literally hugging Kuroko though once again, he couldn't help it due to the fact that he almost got hit by a bicycle. Kuroko is so small. He even have to look down just to face him and as he did, those dashing blue eyes looked up to him almost as if nothing has happened. Kuroko wasn't even trembling nor panicking and his flat expression says so.
"I'm fine Midorima-San..." Kuroko said and kept holding onto Midorima then looked up at him. "It did shock me a bit... my heart is still racing" Kuroko breathed out a few times to calm down. Kuroko felt like he should move, but he really didn't want to,he felt safe in Midorima's arms and also comfortable. Slowly Kuroko wrapped his arms around Midorima and hugged him letting his face be pressed against Midorima's chest. Everything was slowly starting to calm down for Kuroko and his heart was no longer running incredibly fast. "Thank you for helping me Midorima-San"
After a few seconds, he was slowly absorbing on what was going on between them. His body went stiff but as he gazes on Kuroko who was gently clinging around him, he felt that kind of spark similar to those clichéd type of movies where the heroin fell in love at first sight. He never even let go of his arms and just kept around Kuroko's petite frame. They just met yet he felt like he already knew Kuroko for so long. "Y-You're most welcome, Kuroko.." He whispered.
After slowly starting to feel better, and while he didn't want to do it, he eventually had to pull away from Midorima as people were giving them looks and it made Kuroko feel a bit awkward. Pulling away Kuroko turned his head to face away from Midorima as his face started to heat up, he didn't know why he enjoyed their closeness it was strange how he felt like this and they had only known one another for a few hours.
It seems like they were drowned into their own world with their hug and as Midorima going to tighten his hug around him, Kuroko pulls away, quickly missing the heat and his small body pressed against him. But as he looked at the smaller male's face who was looking away and at first he thought Kuroko was feeling weird about their sudden act but he was wrong. Kuroko has a flustered face at the moment which made him look more cuter. He wanted to pinch those cheeks and hug him so close and tight but he can't because he might get freaked out.
It was so strange that he was getting this worked up over someone he barely knew... None of it made sense, was this what people called love at first sight? While he had been facing away he had missed the others arms around his body, it felt warm being cuddled up to Midorima's chest. Deciding it was best to move on before he started to feel more awkward Kuroko slowly got the edge of Midorima's top then started to walk seem as they could now walk without being hit.
Midorima was surprised when Kuroko suddenly walked away through the lane and he immediately followed. He wanted to slap himself for being impulsive with his actions. Maybe Kuroko was feeling awkward with it and now he refuses to look at him. "Umm.. Kuroko?" He called out his name as he was able to cross the street. "I apologize for doing that without permission." He said, thinking it was best for him to apologize in advance.
Hearing his name being called Kuroko looked at Midorima and then back where he was walking not wanting to bump into anyone. "It's okay Midorima-san, i quiet enjoyed it actually" he said and properly turned to face Midorima when they were safely over the road. "I'm thankful that Midorima-san helped me when i was almost hurt"
"I-It was nothing.. I suppose.. I just did it for the best of you not to get hurt." He said, gently scratching the side of his face, feeling a bit awkward. "Err... Let's head to the Maji's, shall we? I think I can almost feel my stomach grumbling." He said in a slight playfully manner so that he can lighten up the mood somehow. But before that, he took the guitar from Kuroko so he can carry it all the way.
"Thank you Midorima-san" agreeing with going to get food Kuroko was about to go when he felt his guitar being taken and looked at Midorima as he was carrying it. "Midorima-san i am more than capable than carrying my guitar..." He said with a bit of a frown on his lips. He doubted he woud be able to get it back so might as well let Midorima carry it for him.
Midorima insisted to carry it in the end. It's not like he will steal it away from Kuroko in fact that he's got like ten acoustic guitars at home.
They finally arrived at their destination with a huge sign 'Maji Burger' above the entrance. The place seems so good and delightful to the fact that there a also families and couples eating inside. He don't usually eat in places like this since his manager insists to eat in some fancy restaurants. Ever since as a kid, he forgot how to act like a normal kid. Fortunately, in this day, he was going to try how to eat in a fast food chain.
Not being able to convince Midorima he gave up trying to convince him and just concentrated on getting to Maji. Walking into Maji Kuroko got in the cue and wondered what he was going to get, of course a vanilla millshake was one of the items. Looking at Midorima he asked him what he was going to get.
Midorima's green eyes were darted on the glowing menu in front of them. Different kinds of burgers and fries, sodas, ice creams, drink and etc. "It would be interesting to buy all of them, doesn't it?" Midorima said, planning to buy all of them for the two of them. "Can we order all of them?" He asked Kuroko out of curiosity. Midorima looks like a noob who just had his first time entering a fast food chain.
Kuroko watched Midorima and wondered if he had been to a fast food joint before."it would be interesting... you probably could but you must ending up wasting all the food" Kuroko didn't like the idea of wasting food, well he wouldn't be able to eat more than he was getting for or he would feel sick. "Midorima-San shouldn't get everything or he will be here for a while as they make everything.
"O-Oh..." He said and was ashamed about it. Even the cashier was giggling at him yet she wasn't able to recognize who he was. "Err... I'll just get whatever you are going to order. And let me pay for it." Midorima stated and gave Kuroko a smile. A smile that shows he was grateful that he was invited for a meal.
Kuroko lightly smiled and patted Midorima's shoulder."it's alright Midorima-San. I will have a vanilla milkshake and fries please" Midorima would definitely want to get more than he was getting for sure. "Thank you for paying Midorima-San" Kuroko smiled and looked at the counter as it was their turn to order
"That would be all to fill your stomach? You should order more, you know." He said as he stated his order towards the cashier. He ordered just random ones for him since he just wanted to taste them. Apparently, the other food chain staffs were looking at him. Not that he can tell that they already recognize him but there was more to it. As if they were being flirty.
"It's enough Midorima-San" Kuroko watched the staff and noticed now they where looking at Midorima, had they recognized him? Deciding since he wasn't needed he might as well get a seat for them both."I'll get s seat" Kuroko got the guitar from Midorima then went and sat down at a seat next to the windows and looked out the window.
"Hmmm, alright.." He said. Midorima was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable by the stares of the staff so he just quickly paid for their foods and waited for them to serve it on their table. Good thing he brought a cash since they might recognize him if he uses his credit card. The green haired male followed to where Kuroko was so he sat across of him. "I thought I was recognized... Phew.."
Hearing Midorima sit down Kuroko moved his gaze to face him. "It must have been uncomfortable with them all looking at you" he wished he had chosen a quieter place now to make it easier on Midorima so he didn't have to get caught. It must be hard work going out and trying not to be recognized
"It is... Well, as long as we are not obvious with people, they will not know." He said with a smile. Their orders came and the lady just-winked at him. Or was there something in his eyes that makes him see things unnecessary. "Thank you.." He said to the girl before focusing on the food in front of them. He ordered like three different kinds of burgers while he ordered vanilla shake, fries and also he insisted in buying him a cheeseburger. Kuroko looks so thin so he needs to eat more .
Kuroko looked and saw the waitress wink at Midorima then got his milkshake and sipped it. "She likes you Midorima-San" Kuroko felt a bit weird that the waitress had done that, he felt a bit jealous for no reason but he just kept it to himself. "Midorima-San got a lot of burgers..." he said as he put the drink down and started to nibble on the chips one at a time. "My friend Kagami-kun gets twenty burgers when we come and eats them all as if it's nothing" the smaller male would enjoy being able to eat more but not as much we Kagami did that was just weird how he could manage it.
His head snapped towards Kuroko after mentioning that the girl likes him. "W-Well it can't be helped I guess? And I don't swing that way like she does." He said as if he was offended by Kuroko's words but he only meant it as a joke. "And I pity your friend. He must be-err-fat?" He asked Kuroko, getting a bit curious of this certain friend of his. Not that he's jealous or anything. Or maybe he is. He took on burger and inspected the cover first before unwrapping it. He took a bite and was delighted by the taste. "It's good!"
Kuroko laughed at Midorima's reaction, it would be fun to keep teasing the male. "So is Midorima-kun into males then?" Well that made Kuroko feel a bit better about how he had been reacting. Least he wasn't getting embarrassed by a straight male. "Kagami-kun isn't fat, surprisingly he is quiet fit" it must be the working out that Kagami did to stay fit. Watching Midorima's reaction he thought it was adorable to witness. "I'm glad Midorima-kun is enjoying it" Kuroko said as he ate more chips.
He was bout to sip on his own vanilla shake but he was caught off guard with Kuroko's words and almost spill out the food he ate, "W-W-W-W-W-Wha-? H-H-How did you-" He said, stuttering madly as he if he just fell on a trap and couldn't move out. He was also bad at lying so it would be shameless of him if he tried lying. Midorima never thought of his own sexual orientation. He likes women but at the same time men? He wasn't sure. It only developed when he met Kuroko. His perception has changed. And only for Kuroko though so technically he's still straight but at the same time opposite for Kuroko?
"You said you didn't swing that way like she does. I only asked, I didn't mean to cause any harm" Kuroko said and felt bad if he had caused Midorima to feel bad or something. He was only curious after all. "Well if it makes you comfortable I'm only interested in men" he didn't know if it would help but at least Midorima now knew what he was interested in.
He was only joking but as Kuroko spoke that he prefers men, his mood constantly felt better. As if his chest lightened up. As if his expression changed from flustered one to a joyful one. "O-Oh is that so?... I mean, I w-was just joking earlier and you didn't have to take my words seriously before.. And I think, I am not sure about it but- There is this certain someone, a guy to be specific, have started to take my liking. I prefer women but ever since I met him, something changed like, I like him already... Is that bad?" he asked the smaller male in front of him.
Listening to Midorima talk Kuroko felt a bit sad hearing that Midorima had someone he liked, it actually hurt him a bit. "isn't that what they call love at first sight?" he asked and decided it was best to not say that he was in the same predicament. Kuroko didn't want to get his hopes up for them to come crashing down. "There is nothing wrong with being interested in someone quickly" so Midorima preferred women but the person was an exception, wouldn't that make him a bisexual?
As he spoke about the 'guy' he was starting to like, he noticed the sudden change in Kuroko's expression. One thing he had noticed, ever since he met Kuroko, he usually wear this flat expression. Unreadable. But this time, he was able to read him so he decided to ask, "Umm... Are you alright, Kuroko?" He asked the smaller male in front of him. If only Kuroko has an idea on who he was talking about. But he can't just admit it to him. They just met right? But it feels like he already know him for so long.
Kuroko started to drift into his own thoughts then pulled himself back when he heard Midorima talk. "Sorry, I'm fine" he said then quickly got his drink and sipped a bit. "When did you meet this person?" Seen as he probably didn't have much chance with Midorima he might as well help him out with his interest, he had been kind enough to play his song for him.
Heck no. It would be obvious if he tells him that he just met the guy today so that would be Kuroko. "I... Err... Well... I..I... Developed feelings for him today." Whew. That was a safe answer. He didn't need to emphasize when so he just decided to tell him the time he had grown feelings for him. Maybe one day he will be able to tell Kuroko the truth. Because he thinks Kuroko deserves to know about it. But he have to divert the topic quickly so he can run away. "What about you, Kuroko? Do you-err- are you in a relationship already? I might be taking your time instead of hanging out with him or her." He asked the smaller male.
He had met him today? How many people did Midorima meet in a day? Kuroko was about to ask more about the person but was asked a question by Midorima and didn't want to be rude and not answer. "I'm not in a relationship with anyone. And it wouldn't be a her when I'm only interested in him's" Kuroko finished off his fries then shook his head. "Midorima-San isn't taking my time I've enjoyed hanging out today" he was close to saying and having the others arms around him but he managed to stop himself by biting the side of his cheek.
"Oh... Hmmm.. I thought you were with someone.. Like the Kagami you just mentioned earlier.." He said with a little bite on Kagami's name. "And to clarify what you are thinking, I-I just developed my feelings for that guy today... Who knows when I met him but I think he's adorable.. And talented which made me like him." He with a smile on his face, unconsciously looking at the burger he was eating.
"No, Kagami-kun is already with someone" kuroko watched Midorima talk about the person he was interested in and couldn't help but think how handsome he looked with a smile on his face. "They're a lucky person then, i hope one day Midorima-san gets to be with them" after finishing his chips Kuroko drank his milkshake and looked out the window.
"I hope so- well, I hope that person could literally see what I feel right now." He said, looking at Kuroko but sadly, Kuroko was looking on the window. There was really something bothering the smaller male and he can tell. He feels the same whenever he is alone. Loneliness. To lighten up the mood, Midorima decided to ask questions related to his life. "Hmm.. Err... I am curious.. Do you live somewhere near here? With your family? They might be looking for you now." He said to the smaller male.
Kuroko felt sad as he spoke to midorima, he shouldn't feel this way but it was hard not to. "Midorima-san should just tell them" as the conversation changed Kuroko turned to look back at Midorima "i live about 15 minutes away, not tonight they wont be. Its date night for my mum and step-dad so they will be home late" you would think after living with his step-dad for quiet some time he would call him dad but it just didn't sit well calling him it.
"Hmm.. Step dad? Where is your real father though? If you do not mind me asking... But I just want you to know that I am all ears and will listen to you no matter what." Midorima said as he reached towards the smaller male's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, reassuring him that it's going to be fine. He didn't expect that Kuroko would feel down after he mentioned about his family. Midorima was now blaming himself for opening it up.
"I never met my real dad, mum didn't say much else other than that" feeling his hand being squeezed Kuroko did the same back enjoying the comfort."I don't feel right calling my step-dad my dad even though he always been there. Mum told me to not try and find anything about my dad so I never looked". Kuroko never felt uncomfortable if people asked him about his family but it always made him more curious about his father, he wanted to know who he was but had to agree to his mother's wish.
"I see..." Midorima could only respond to what Kuroko said but he didn't let go of his hand as if it was normal for them to do that in public already. He never thought Kuroko would be deeply affected by his unknown father. The only thing he could do right now is to be there and listen to him. Even as a friend. It was until the television showed about a certain man and said to be one of the richest businessmen in Japan introduced that his company's tallest building in Japan will be the main building of a popular television channel, an idol agency and a publishing company. And there will be a grand ball in a said date. Midorima gazes to his side to watch it.
Feeling a bit better about having spoken about his father Kuroko didn't say anything else about the matter as he didn't want to make Midorima uncomfortable. Seeing the others gaze drift Kuroko looked down at theirs hands and was happy about it, it was nice holding the much larger hands but what about the person he liked? Not letting go of the hand Kuroko looked out the window not listening to what was being said on the TV. Looking out the window Kuroko watched the people walking past, it was always interesting watching how people acted differently.
Midorima felt his phone vibrated. He had to excuse himself so that he can look on his iPhone 6 as he regrettably let go of the the smaller male's hand, immediately missing its warmth and softness. For a guy like Kuroko, he sure does have a feminine hands. The light of the screen glowed and the message was from his mother. Since both of his parents were doctors, they were also known well because of their small businesses like boutiques of his mom and restaurants of his dad. His mother told him that they were invited by the said businessman that was on tv of the grand ball. He cringed a bit and wanted to refuse so that he can hang out with Kuroko more. But it's his mother so he can't just say no quickly
As Midorima answered his call Kuroko decided he should see if he had any messages. Pulling out his phone he flipped it open to see he had a message from his mum checking if he was okay, Kuroko replied by saying he was fine and asked if she was having a good date with his step-dad. Having sent the message Kuroko slipped his phone back in his pocket and looked at Midorima, he probably should head off home soon wouldn't want to worry his mum by staying out so late. Looking at the TV Kuroko watched as it was onto a show about animals doing funny things and it did have Kuroko smiling every so often.
Midorima texted 'alright' before placing his phone on the table. Although he was more surprised when Kuroko flipped back his phone and placed it back in his pocket too. The kind of phone he was using was rather 'old' or maybe eight years ago? He will give Kuroko new one after this. Although the phone wasn't the main issue at this point as he captures Kuroko's happy face that was darted on the television. Before he was able to place his phone back to his pocket, he was able to witness Kuroko's happy face. He secretly captured it with his one. He must like animals and couldn't help but smile too. Ah. His smile was so addicting. It's like whenever he smiles, his face becomes so radiant.
Kuroko happily watched the program not noticing the looks he was getting from Midorima. He had always loved animals, he had a cat growing up and now had a dog called Nigou. Looking at Midorima he asked if he had any pets he was curious to know more about the others life. "I had a cat when I was a babu and have a dog called Nigou" pulling out his phone he went to his pictures and found one of Nigou and handed it over to Midorima. "He's only one years old"
Midorima wasn't actually 'fond' of dogs but he doesn't literally hate them. There was one time a dog just peed on his feet while he was shooting a music video and that made him change his thoughts over the dogs. "Ohh.. Nigou is nice looking.. A husky one if I am correct?" He said as he gave the phone back to Kuroko. "Although, truthfully, I don't particularly 'like' dogs for the reason that one time it peed on my feet." He said, still humiliated just by remembering it.
"Oh, sorry that happened to you" after taking his phone back he put it in his pocket. "He's actually a malamute, and is properly trained so he wouldn't pee on your shoe so if you ever meet him you wouldn't have to worry" Kuroko said and then figured he should probably go and actually let Nigou out seen as he was home alone. "I'm going to head off now Midorima-San, got to let Nigou out" Kuroko got up and grabbed his guitar. "If Midorima-San is free we can meet tomorrow in the park again?"
Midorima felt sad as Kuroko stood up said he was already going but stopped when the smaller male asked if they were going to meet each other tomorrow again. "S-Sure! I would love to.. And if you don't mind, can I have your number and email?" He asked even though that was rather a bold move, Midorima was feeling a little desperate just in case they wouldn't be able to see each other again. He'll make sure he will have his contacts so that he can email him everyday. The thought was making him giggly but he couldn't show it to Kuroko of course. He took out his iPhone and let Kuroko press his digits on the screen. He just hoped that Kuroko wouldn't think weird of him. He just like him so much he couldn't let go of him just like that.
"I dont mind" taking the phone Kuroko put his number and email in then looked back at Midorima. "Well goodnight Midorima-san, see you tomorrow" kuroko smiled at Midorima and then walked out of Majo. After walking out Kuroko walked to his home, he was thankful he didn't live that far away from their current location as it meant he could just easily walk home without having to worry about getting a coach or train.
Midorima waved goodbye and said 'take care' as Kuroko went home leaving him outside the Maji fast food chain. He was about to ask him if he will agree to take him home but that would make him a creep, right? He just can't help it. But for now, he is going to buy a suit for tomorrow's ball. It was a pain. Although he's used in attending parties such as that, he still feel a bit uncomfortable dealing with people with fake expressions on their faces. But he's with his parents and of course his presence was needed because he is one of the best musicians in Japan. He walked back to the hotel and as usual, he stealthily got inside and made his way back to his suite to contact his manager about the suit he'll wear.
Kuroko made his way home enjoying the quiet walk, walking on a night was much nicer than in the day as you didn't have to barge past people to get anywhere. Getting to his home he unlocked the door and walked inside hearing Nigou fumble over to get some attention. Putting his guitar on the floor he picked the pup up and let himself be covered in kissed by Nigou. "I know I know, come on let's let you out" he closed the front door and went through to the back door and let Nigou out to do his business. Sitting on the floor he put his hand on his heart and sighed. It had been a pretty eventful day.
He took a shower, brushed his teeth and even had a small meal before going to sleep. As he laid himself on his silken master's bed, he fumbled on the phone that was places on the bedside table, remembering he took a photo of Kuroko. He smiled at the image and he was glad that he was able to take one photo of him. Along with his contact number of course. Before he went to sleep, he texted Kuroko, "Thank you for this day. I appreciate it a lot and it was nice meeting by the way although It was very late for me to say it. Tomorrow evening is the ball so let's meet by the morning if you want?" he said before pressing send button.
Once Nigou decided he had enough and came back in Kuroko locked up and moved upstairs with Nigou. Opening his bedroom door he let Nigou go to his bed which was on the floor next to his desk and got undressed for a quick shower. After showering Kuroko put on some boxers then got into bed and looked at his phone at the message then replied back. "You're welcome Midorima-San I enjoyed myself as well. That's fine I will be at the park by ten in the morning if that's okay"
Midorima felt his phone vibrate before he quickly and excitedly checked it since it's from Kuroko. "That would be perfect. See you tomorrow, Kuroko. ️" Midorima said as he sent it. Of course he was excited without a doubt. He might as well take Kuroko as his partner since he's the only one who does not have a partner. He hopes that Kuroko would agree though. He took his iPad and searched for a nee phone for Kuroko. He choose the silver colored iPhone 6 since he has the gold one.
Kuroko sent a simple reply back saying see you tomorrow then plugged his phone into charge and looked at Nigou "i met the famous Midorima Shintaro today Nigou, he was a lot nicer in person than he seems on tv" kuroko said and then turned off his lamp and cuddled up under the covers and slowly drifted off to sleep. He was incredibly glad to have met Midorima, the way he held his body and his hands made him feel really happy and made his heart race. Sleeping couldnt come quick enough as he was definitely excited to see Midorima again and hoped there would be some more holding.
Morning came and Midorima woke up earlier as usual. He went to sleep at around 9:30 so he woke up at 5. He was usually a light sleeper but this time he was able to have a good and long sleep. Must be the effect of having a good mood especially that he is going to meet Kuroko again today. Ah, maybe he should always ask him out everyday. He wondered, he didn't know what is Kuroko's job. Maybe he will ask later so he stood up and took another round of warm shower. He brushes his teeth, dressed up casually and of course, not recognizable in people before drinking up a glass of warm milk. There was a grand piano inside his suite so he decided to play his composed songs until he had an idea. He texted Kuroko a 'good morning'.
Unlike Midorima Kuroko didn't wake up as early he woke up at half 8 when he felt his phone vibrate on the table. Prying his eyes open he reached for his phone and opened the message. Upon seeing the message Kuroko smiled and send a 'good morning' back then closed his phone and sat up. It was time to get himself and ready to meet Midorima he didn't want to be late for their meeting. Forcing himself out of bed he went into the bathroom brushed his teeth then got into the shower and washed his body and hair then got out once he was finished. Wrapping a towel around his waist he got a towel to dry his hair and walked into his room. Grabbing some clothes he slipped them on and then quickly dried his hair until it was his normal look and not his horrendous bed hair. Dragging a brush through his hair he looked at the time and figured he should let Nigou out and grab some food before he left to meet Midorima.
He spent his free time playing the grand piano in his suite. Midorima can still remember the tune and notes that Kuroko made and behind the beautiful sound is a heart warming effect. Maybe it's just him due to the fact that he had started liking Kuroko. Maybe he'll introduce him to a friend of his who is also a musical producer and help him. After a few hours, he fixes his casual clothing along with the beanie until the door rang, indicating that the package just arrived. It's the new phone he bought for Kuroko. Well, at least it was nicely wrapped because he intended to give this as a gift once they meet at the park. His chest and abdomen are feeling bubbly due to excitement. He still got thirty minutes to be there so he took the package and again, stealthily made out of the hotel before proceeding to the park. He was a little early but he's fine with it.
Kuroko made some toast for himself and put some dog biscuits in the food bowl for Nigou and looked at the time, he should set off. With the toast in his mouth Kuroko picked up his guitar and headed out the door locking it behind him. It was weird that he was actually going out to meet someone, someone who made his heart flutter and his cheeks redden. It was a nice feeling. 15 minutes later Kuroko got to the park and saw midorima was already there. Walking over Kuroko put his guitar down on a nearby bench and looked at Midorima. "Good morning Midorima-kun"
Midorima waited for like fifteen minutes and was feeling a bit antsy. What if Kuroko does not come? What if he refuses to meet him again? Unnecessary thoughts were plaguing his mind until he heard someone called his name. He quickly stood up in surprise to face the person beside him, "G-Good morning, Kuroko! I-I didn't notice you were already there... Err... Here! My present for you. Please accept this as a thank you gift for yesterday. I really had fun." Midorima excitedly handed the smaller male his gift that was placed in a light blue paper bag.
Blinking a few times Kuroko watched Midorima and found the others reaction far too amusing. "Midorima-San doesn't pay enough attention then" he said and then sat down on the bench and looked at the bag "you didn't need to get me anything..." he said and then opened up the bag and then the wrapping curious as to what the other had gotten him. Upon seeing what Midorima had gotten he put it back in the bag and held it back to Midorima "I can't accept this Midorima-San, you really didn't need to get me anything especially an iPhone..."
"Please, Kuroko.. I insist.. Besides, I-err- become one of those who endorses Apple products here in Japan. When I had it, it was free so- I am giving it to you." He said with a pleading expression on his face. It was true though. He had become one of the endorsers in the country and whenever he will get one, it will be free. "Here, let me open it for you.." He said as he took the gift and unwrapped the package of the phone and took the silver phone and opened it. He suddenly had an idea. He places his one arm over the smaller male's shoulder and took a photo of the two of them before setting it as the wallpaper. Technology today are already fast as he handed the phone on Kuroko's palm.
"Midorima-San shouldn't have got me anything... even if he is one of the endorses for Apple" Kuroko watched him open it up and still didn't think he should have gotten it. "Is there something wrong with my phone?" His phone did what he wanted, he could phone and email people so what more did he need? Seeing Midorima take a photo Kuroko moved in closer to the males body and lightly smiled at the camera. Seen as it seemed like he wasn't getting away he might as well accept the gift. "Thank you for the phone Midorima-San" he said then put the phone away not wanting to have the chance of dropping it.
"It would be a waste if I just keep it in my closet. Most of the people I know do have those already so allow me to give it to you, alright? And no, it's not about the phone you are currently using.." He said with a smile. For some reason, he wanted to spoil Kuroko but Kuroko would always be the opposite. He's just an ordinary guy with a talent in making songs. He's humble and kind and- cute. Thinking of it made Midorima attracted to smaller male even more. People would immediately grabbed the opportunity to be with him but Kuroko, he is different. Like he is one of a kind in his life.
"I'm not most people though, I appreciate it" Kuroko looked at Midorima and smiled softly as he thanked for the present then got his guitar and note book. "I had a melody in my head during the night but it might not work..." on a separate page Kuroko wrote down the notes and then handed it to Midorima "what do you think of it?" Having another musician to talk to made Kuroko incredibly happy as none of his friends were really interested in the process of his songs but they did like the end production when he was done.
"Sure! I would love to hear it. Most especially if it is your work, Kuroko, I am glad to hear anything from you." He said, smiling genuinely to the smaller male who brought his guitar and notes with him. He waited until he was ready and as Kuroko strum the strings of his guitar accompanied by some lyrics in it, the melody already got into the green haired male's heart. His eyes were looking at Kuroko's adorable face as he sang to him. Midorima's heart was already beating fast as if he had fallen into the depths of the rhythm that Kuroko made. And of course, that's the time that Midorima accepted the fact that he had fallen in love with Kuroko.
That would be the first page. We started roleplaying this one from August 17 up to this day. We already planned the flow of the story so more ideas would be appreciated through comments. Thank you!
