Message:
Shin-chan! Shin-chan! Let's meet up at this church at XXXXXXX! 7am tomorrow! I'll be waiting! Xoxo. I love you, Shin-chan! I can't wait to see you then! I'm so excited! *smiley faces and hearts x10*

Takao :hearts: :kissy faces:'

Seven in the morning, inside an old very well-maintained church with beautiful strain glasses, stood two high school students from Shutoku High. One with black hair and the other with green hair and glasses and taped fingers to boot.

"Shin-chan! I'm glad you able to make it!" Takao calls out to Midorima happily.

"Takao. What the hell are we meeting in a church early in the morning? I can't believe you sent me that ridiculous email last night," Midorima glares at

Takao suspiciously while holding his lucky item, Kerosuke-kun.

Takao laughs cheerfully. "Isn't that obvious? We're getting married!"

"I refuse. This is absurd!" Midorima pushes his glasses and turns around violently, a blush showing up.

"Ah! Don't say that Shin-chan!" Tears run down Takao's face comically. "It's already been years since we're started dating!"

"Aho. We haven't graduated from high school yet," Midorima corrects Takao. "We're not going to get married."

Takao pouts cutely. "Don't say that, Shin-chan. We can totally get married now."

Midorima sighs heavily. "You're really an idiot, Takao. I'm leaving."

Takao tackle glomps Midorima from behind, knocking Kerosuke-kun from Midorima's hand in the process. "Shin-chan! Don't say that!"

"Gah! Get off of me, Takao!" Midorima said angrily. "We're not discussing this!"

"But I love you, Shin-chan!" Takao said as he nuzzles Midorima's back.

Midorima blushes violently. "No matter how many times you said that to me, I'm not going to marry you, Takao."

"So mean. You're such a tsun-tsun!" Takao coos as he continues to hold onto Midorima from escaping.

"Stop calling me a tsun-tsun!" Midorima raises his voice a bit, struggling to get Takao off him.

Takao strengthen his grip on Midorima, his face planted squarely on Midorima's back. "Can we... just pretend like we're going to get married."

Midorima stops struggling as he notices a hint of sadness in Takao's voice. Midorima stares down on the floor and thinks for a moment. He hates it whenever he hears any bit of sadness in Takao's voice. It always sends Midorima into a guilt trip immediately. It tore at Midorima's heart and he hates that feeling. Unacceptable.

"Fine... It irks me more when you're like this," Midorima said calmly, sighing in defeat.

"Like what?" Takao asks, his voice almost a whisper.

"Like everything around you is going to end soon. I've been noticing this a lot lately since that night you confessed to me," Midorima replies, poking Takao on the forehead.

"Heh. You noticed that, huh?" Takao's voice cracked a little as if all his feelings he's been holding back in a closed lid is about to burst open any second.

"Of course. We're together almost everyday. You don't think I wouldn't notice the smallest of things from you," Midorima sighs heavily. "I won't leave you, even when it matters the most."

Takao smiles, crying for real, glad Midorima can't see his tears right now. "Thanks... Shin-chan. I'm glad I got to meet and fell in love with you..."

"Aho..." Midorima struggles to turn around so he can embrace Takao tightly. "I'm always here to catch you when you fall. My feelings for you won't change"

Takao laughs weakly. "Yeah. I know..."

Midorima wipes Takao's tears away and plants a kiss on top of Takao's head, then on the lips. Takao's a little startled by this as he is always the one who initiates the kiss first. Takao clutches on the back of Midorima's school jacket and smiles, left cheek lays on Midorima's chest.

So warm... I want to stay like this forever...Takao thought to himself as he closes his eyes, listening to Midorima's heartbeat. It smooths him. Midorima caresses Takao's head lovingly. Takao giggles softly.

"What is it now? Are you laughing at me, Takao?" Midorima grunts, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Ah. Gomen, Shin-chan. You're always so uncharacteristically you whenever we're alone together," Takao said, smiling at the idea.

"Shut up, Takao," Midorima said angrily. "I can just break up with you right now and forget about that fake marriage idea of yours."

"N-No! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Really! Please don't break up with me!" Takao apologizes hurriedly.

Midorima tsks. Listening to Midorima's heartbeat calms Takao, newly-formed tears edges the corners of his closed eyes. Takao loves Midorima so much, it hurts. If only he could tell Midorima. It will destroy Midorima, even through Takao knew he wouldn't show it, if he ever found out. Takao doesn't even want to imagine Midorima's face as soon as he finds out, if he ever finds out. It's so painful to think about it. He wants to keep his drity little secret away from Midorima as far as possible.

"Takao. How long are you planning to stay on top of me?" Midorima growls.

"Awe, Shin-chin. Can we just stay like this forever?" Takao whines like a spoiled little child.

"No and this church is a public place. I rather not get caught by anyone when we're laying down together like this," Midorima said in his usual serious tone.

"Shin-chan is no fun," Takao pouts before getting off of his beloved.

Midorima gets back onto his feet and pull Takao up to him. Takao nearly topple over Midorima during the progress.

"Takao, you damn klutz and you call yourself a basketball player," Midorima scolds at Takao.

"But Shin-chin. You pulled me to you so suddenly," Takao pouts again.

"Enough of your lame excuses. I'm leaving," Midorima fixes his glasses and reclaims Kerosuke-kun from the floor.

"W-Wait, Shin-chan! We haven't gotten through our lovely marriage yet!" Takao calls out to Midorima.

Midorima stops dead at his tracks. Damn. Midorima nearly forgotten about that. Urgh. Midorima really don't want to do it, but Takao have been acting weird.

"Fine. Just this once. Just keep in mind, this is fake," Midorima groans reluctantly.

Takao laughs happily, his goofy smiling face back in place. "Hehe, of course, Shin-chan. Shall we get started?"

Takao holds out his hand for Midorima to take. Midorima stares at the hand, nervousness rooted him in the spot, unable make a single moment. Takao stares at Midorima happily, patiently waiting for his beloved megane to move, hand still out for the taking. Slowly, very slowly as if time itself went into slow motion, Midorima heavily lifts his hand up towards Takao's while taking that first step towards him. Midorima can feel his heart beating so hard in his chest.

This is fake, this is fake. Remember this is a fake wedding. We're just reaffirming our affection, I mean relationship together.

"I'm right here. Just focus on me. It's okay to be nervous." Takao reassure Midorima, still holding on that bright goofy smile of his.

Midorima gulps and subconsciously nods, his nervousness slowly melting away until he finally takes Tako's reached-out hand. Their hands interwine with each other as the couple recite their love for each other under the stain glass of the church. Midorima's face slightly turning redder and redder with each passing second while Takao's grin grew wider as if it's going to fall off from his face any second now. Takao drew Midorima into a passionate kiss so deep, their bodies just literally melt into one. The kiss blew Midorima away, his mind gone blank as he deepens the kiss. His love for Takao, an one of a kind.

'I love you.'

'Don't ever leave me.'

'I can't live without you anymore.'

'Stay with me.' 'I'll never let you go.'

Those are the words of affectionate feelings whispers in each other's ears, over and over again between each passionate kiss. As soon as they broke apart for air, Takao glaze into Midorima's eyes lovingly as Midorima places his forehead on Takao's.

"We have to get going or we'll be late for school," Midorima whispers.

Takao's eyes wavers sadly. "Do we must? I want to stay longer like this."

Midorima flinches slightly as those words, guiltiness pings in his heart again. "I know, Aho. But we can't just skip school suddenly."

"You just don't want a pineapple thrown at you by the senpais, Shin-chan." Takao smiles softly, but sadly.

Midorima shivers at that thought. Yeah, there's that too. Midorima likes being the honor student and old habits do die hard.

"Shin-chan, can you promise me one thing?" Takao asks, breeaking Midorima from his thoughts.

"Hm? What is it?" Midorima stares at Takao suspiciously.

"Awe, Shin-chan. You don't have to be so suspicious. I swear it's nothing bad." Takao stares at Midorima with a sad hurt face.

Gah! Not again! Why does he like giving me that face!The corners of Midorima's lips twitch. "W-What is it?"

"When we graduate from high school, can you... Can you propose to me for real this time?" Takao stares down at the floor as he closes the gap between him and Midorima.

"...!" Midorima stares at Takao in shock. "What's gotten into you suddenly?"

"I-It's nothing." Takao said, still unable to look Midorima in the face. "I-I-It just life is too short, you know."

"..." Midorima lifts Takao's face up and kisses him on the lips. "I know, but let's not rush things. You know I won't ever leave you."

Takao nods weakly, tearing up again. Shit. How unmanly. Crying so much in one day. Takao lets out a soft chuckle of frustration.

"However..." Midorima continues, Takao stares Midorima in the eyes, "I will keep that promise. T-To propose to you after we graduate from high school."

Takao buries his face in Midorima's chest, muffling his sniffles. "A-Arigato Shin-chan. I love you. I love you. I love you."

"Hn." Midorima pats Takao to calm the poor boy down. "Now stop crying already and wipe those tears. I rather not be a laughingstock again."

"Hai." Takao smiles as he wipes tears away.

"Let's go." Midorima leads Takao out of the church. "The rickshaw better be here or else we won't make to school in time."

"Heh. It's here, Shin-chan. Don't worry." Takao chuckles. "Always the serious worrywart."

"Of course. Someone needs to be." Midorima adjusts his glasses.

Midorima plops himself onto the rickshaw as soon as he saw it. Takao arches an eyebrow. Some old lucky-item freak, but he does have his charms and Takao will be the one to discover them all as long as he lives. Takao gets onto the bike and pedals to school.

Thanks, Shin-chan. Maybe... Maybe I will tell you about it. That secret of mine one day. I'm happy to hear all that from you. It really warms my heart to the core. I love you more than ever, Shin-chan. I will never let you go.

A/N: What's this dirty little secret Takao is hiding from everyone? You have to wait until chapter 3 for it to be revealed. MAWAHAHAHA Sorry, I must be evil that way. Please be patient until then~
