Kuroko no basket - Midorima x Takao

by Ashly Arizona

When Takao comes knocking on Midorima's door like any other day he is walking into an unexpected turn of events as Midorima doesn't feel the same as he does on any normal day. Midorima finds it's been harder to compose himself around Takao, what could a Bible as his lucky item signify?

Midorima x Takao

Chapter 1

"Shin-chan!" Takao wailed, waking the whole of Tokyo with his unnecessary and persistent bangs on my front door.

I sighed and continued reading.

Conclusion: Survive today with Takao, avoid Kagami, turn to Christianity for good fortune and keep on guard at 15:00.

"Shin-chan!"

What a silly lucky item. A book that humans birthed into existence to give reason to their mundane lives.

But… what could a Bible, as my lucky item today, mean? Could it mean I should be more open-minded? I'm going to be visited by a spiritual being? I'm going to sin? Clearly not.

"Shin-chan! We're going to be late for-"

I swung the door open abruptly. Takao, being obviously caught off guard, tripped over the threshold and into me, landing us both on the hard floor.

"What?"

"I didn't know you wear such cute slippers Shin-chan."

My face reddened as I recalled, I was still wearing my fluffy rabbit slippers that I got as a welcoming gift as a joke from Takao after we first met. They were surprisingly comfortable so I kept them after carefully questioning if I really needed them.

How could I forget to leave them in my bedroom?

I hurried to my room with a composed expression and closed the door behind me, giving Takao the cold shoulder.

"Were those the ones I got you Shin-chan?" Takao asked with a serious tone of voice before going silent.

I kicked a set of draws in frustration at my mistake.

How could I let him see them? I never make errors like this. A Leo must be close by.

'Sort yourself out.'

I risk a glance at the fallen photo frame of the first photo of Shutoku's new basketball team. Takao was on my right winking at the camera as if he were mocking the version of me looking at the photo right now.

In the photo I was looking at Takao in the corners of my eyes, as in thinking: "This boy…"
