Part I
.
.
Love at first sight. Midorima Shintarou never expected in his twenty years of living that he'll ever fall in love, especially with a man. Those clear aqua eyes and locks invited his desires to a paradise with no option of going back. He is well aware of all the consequences he might face if he pursue those feelings.
Midorima is a college student taking a degree in medicine. His parents are both graduates in a prestigious college school in Europe then became successful doctors of their own fields, and being successful means they are wealthy and rich as hell. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he never had to do anything aside from studying and dreaming to be doctor just like his parents.
But not like any other rich families, Midorima's parents are humble and kind so he grow up in a loving household. And when he confess that he is gay, his mother tearfully hugged him and said "be the seme" and his father just pinched the bridge of his nose as he can't comprehend her wife's addiction with BL comics. Midorima Shintarou's life is what anyone would dream for. Prosperous living with ever kind and loving parents. But a hollow part in his heart—deep inside him is still missing, and he had the feeling that the man sitting near the window while reading Pride and Prejudice is the 'one'.
Midorima gather all his courage to walk and talk to the teal haired man "Excuse me—"
The man stared at him without any expression.
"Uhh—" being stared at makes the green head blush "according to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces.. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts—" .
He paused for a brief moment to breathe. Until the teal haired man opened his mouth and said "—condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves."
Surprised on what he heard from those luscious lips "you like Plato?"
The man smiled at him "yeah..."
"Can I sit here?" Midorima forgot his shyness. He don't want to miss this chance to talk who he believe his 'other half'. He placed his books on the table and laptop on the empty chair.
"Ah! S-sorry for being rude… My name is Midorima Shintarou" initiating a handshake when meeting someone is a habit of his that is impossible to get rid of.
Surprisingly, the man reaches his hands and smiled at him "I'm Kuroko Tetsuya"
