Note: This ficlet is for CrimsonSnowScarletFate, who is a slave driver no matter how you think about it. But anyways.

Summary: She is icy and lonely and unbeatable. She's his untouchable empress.

Pairing: FemAkashi/Midorima.

English is just my second language, so, you'll surely see mistakes. Can you just tolerate it?

Out of all things Midorima Shintarou hates in life, losing to Akashi Seika comes out on top. It frustrates him, because he never catches up with her, nor does she let him do it. She's always ahead, turns her head back and motions him to go faster, waiting for him and taunting him at the same time. And then, she'll walk away again.

Sometimes, she dances, twirls, red hair blowing and he's forced to pick up his pace in case she drifts too far away to catch. Sometimes, she drags her heels, trudging along as slow as she can without stopping, and fast enough to leave him behind.

She's ice and a slice of hot burning fire. She's whitehot and whitecold, ever changing. She's like crimson rose with the sharpest thorns, hurting you if you ever dare come close. He doesn't know who she's inside, all he knows is this icy mask that she always puts on. He doesn't think that she knows who she is anymore.

She blazes through his life like a shooting star, so bright that he's forced to close his eyes. She is a whirlwind, a tornado, dancing destruction through his life and leaving disaster in her wake. She is a whirlwind that no one can stop and it makes him think he's just a grey cloud in the sky.

"Come on, Shintarou." She laughs, voice sweetly cold, beautiful and taunting. "You're too slow."

Sometimes, Midorima wonders if she is emotionless.

She makes him not know what to think anymore. She attracts and intrigues him like no one else. She's ice and a slice of insanity to go along with that and he's never fallen further than that.

Truthfully, he doesn't know if he loves her. (he doesn't know anything.) But then, he doubts if she even knows what love is.

She is Akashi Seika the untouchable empress, the perfect little princess and she doesn't love him.

And Midorima can never stay away no matter what.
