Purrfect Moment

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN KUROKO NO BASUKE OR THE COVER IMAGE!

When Midorima woke up that particular morning, something felt very different. He put on his glasses that were on his bedside table and made his way to the bathroom. Once he entered, the first thing he saw was the full length mirror that was against the wall. The teen took a closer look at the mirror and found that he didn't look the way he did when he went to bed yesterday. Firstly, he had two black ears poking out of his green hair. When he looked lower, he noticed a long, black tail flicking back and forth lightly. Why do I have the ears and tail of a cat!?

The basketball player quickly went downstairs to listen to Oha Asa; they must have some sort of explanation for this. He waited impatiently for the result of Cancer for today, nervous about the outcome. Cancers will wake up to a surprise, but it will get better! Your special someone will look after you! Midorima blinked in surprise; a special someone? He didn't have a special someone, so who was supposed to look after him?

Midorima quickly made himself ready for school and placed his lucky item (a flower) into the hat he was wearing to cover the black ears. The tail was tucked into his pants, which was very uncomfortable, but the only way to hide the unusual body part. When he opened the door to his house, Takao was already waiting, leaning against the rickshaw. The teen was smiling and ready to greet the taller male, when he noticed the hat.

"What's up with the hat, Shin-chan?" The shorter teen tried to reach for the hat, while Midorima tried to avoid the curious hands whilst getting into the rickshaw. When his back was turned to step into the rickshaw, he suddenly felt something shift on his head, only to look back and see Takao with his hat. Takao's eyes widened in surprise when he spotted the two ears on top of the green locks and slowly approached the older teen.

Midorima wanted to move away, but it would only result in him falling into the rickshaw, which would do nothing to lessen his embarrassment of his current situation. The raven head raised his hand slowly, waiting to see the other teen's reaction. When Midorima stayed rooted and did nothing to stop the shorter male, Takao deemed it safe to proceed. His fingers lightly touched the right ear on Midorima's head and was surprised when the other teen let out a small purr. Thinking he did something wrong, the younger one quickly retracted his hand, only to hear a whine of protest from the teen with the ears. Looking at the green head's face, Takao noticed that Midorima didn't seem to be in control of what he was doing; his face was flushed and his hands were covering his mouth, afraid that some other unusual noise would come forth.

"Are you okay, Shin-chan?" The man with the glasses didn't know whether to say yes or no. He was okay when Takao was softly scratching his ear, but he wasn't okay with the fact that he woke up with these additional body parts. Midorima grasped the other teen's hand and placed it back to the ear on top of his head. Takao quickly understood the message and started to lightly scratch the ear, earning a sound of pleasure from the taller male. Although the action was so unlike Midorima, the teen couldn't deny that the younger one's hand gave him shivers of pleasure rushing through his body.

Whilst Takao continued his treatment, he wondered about how they would get through school. Hats weren't allowed to be worn in the classrooms and the ears were quite obvious without anything to cover them. He was taken out of his thoughts when another purr escaped Midorima's lips. The shorter teen smiled at the reactions he was receiving from the other basketball player.

"Don't worry, Shin-chan! I'll look after you." Green eyes snapped open at Takao's statement, as Oha Asa's message replayed in the green head's mind. He gave a small smile of appreciation to the younger male, before he climbed into the rickshaw and let Takao place the hat back on his head. It would be a challenge in school, but Midorima was ready to face it with Takao by his side.
