Summer: Of Loving and Reminiscing

Ten years had gone by since that fateful day; The day that Midorima inadvertently confessed his feelings for Takao. Those years, when basketball was the only thought running through their minds, seemed so long ago that a certain pink haired manager thought it was high time for a small reunion. Despite claiming to not care about keeping in contact with his middle school teammates, Midorima made sure that he had all their phone and address details up to date. Through the courtesy of Takao of course.

"...and don't forget we'll need to pick up some groceries after the-... Shin-chan, are you even listening to me?" The green haired former shooter, now doctor, glanced up at his partner who was standing in the doorway with a slight pout on his face.

"Yes Takao. We're meeting at six o'clock, at the restaurant opposite the public park and after that we need to buy some groceries." Midorima replied. The raven haired man grinned before making his way over to where his lover was seated. Midorima grunted as Takao not so gently plonked himself down onto his lap, before turning to gaze intently into his deep green eyes.

Not much had changed in their relationship over the ten years that they'd been together. Midorima had opened up a bit more and Takao had calmed down a little with his teasing, but this was more due to maturity developing now that they had become adults. It was strange to think that at a time not so long ago, Midorima would have done anything to get away from the man sat in his lap, and said man didn't want anything more than to rile a reaction from the green haired tsundere.

There was a comfortable silence for a while, until a smile suddenly broke out over the raven male's face. "You know what I've just been thinking Shin-chan?"

Midorima cocked an eyebrow. "How great it would be if you stopped sitting on me?" he replied sarcastically. His lover laughed, wriggling more in his human seat to purposefully annoy the other man.

"I was thinking... We haven't done it in this chair ye- OW! Why did you hit me?!" Takao rubbed his side where Midorima had hit him, and non too gently either.

"And I actually thought something intellectual would come out of your mouth..." The doctor retorted, a slight blush making its way across his face. If it was one thing Takao loved about his Shin-chan, was that no matter how long they'd been together and even how long they'd been sexually active, his adorable tsundere would still blush at the slightest hint of something sex related.

"What time is it?" The question came randomly, and Takao actually had to take a minute to gather himself before he looked to the clock.

"It's nearly five. Why?"

The smirk that then planted itself on the past shooter's face was one that Takao had only seen in the past when basketball was a prominent part of their lives. It was the sort of smirk that meant Midorima was ready to take on a challenge, however recently the meaning of the smirk had turned into something different entirely.

"So we really haven't done it on this chair yet?"

"So you never said why you guys were so late. Did you get caught in traffic?" Momoi tilted her head to the side in question as Takao grinned and Midorima blushed slightly in embarrassment.

It was nearly seven when the two had arrived at the restaurant, both of their clothes rustled and they were both covered in a sheen of sweat as if they had been running. In hindsight, Midorima thought that sex right before a dinner date wasn't one of his more brilliant ideas.

"Yeah, we decided to do a little... 'Christening' before we came out," Takao replied, making his green haired lover splutter, as the rest of the generation of miracles either chuckled, or shared knowing glances.

"What Takao meant to say was that we were busy cleaning. Right Takao?" Midorima glared, silently threatening the raven haired point guard with his eyes.

"Chill out Midorima, we know you two go at it like rabbits sometimes. I've had the unfortunate incident where I've received a call from you and all I can hear is moaning, and groaning..." The table laughed as Aomine recalled his tale. Even Takao had the decency to blush a little at the comment. "Besides, isn't a healthy sex life good for your health?"

The green haired doctor, who by this time was as red as a tomato, could only glare and pointedly ignore the question that was being directed at him. Momoi chuckled. Some things would never change no matter how old they all got.

The group chatted and ate during their dinner together. They found out that Aomine had become a policeman recently, having just received his badge a few weeks ago. They also found out that the tanned male and a certain blonde pilot had been going steady for the past year, but they'd kept it a secret because they both weren't sure how long the relationship would last.

Kuroko and Kagami had also hit it off pretty well, having got together just after graduating from high school, and Murasakibara, Akashi and Momoi each had their own other halves that hadn't been able to make it to the dinner that night.

The evening had been fun, and it had been really nice to see everyone again even though Midorima would never admit it. As he and Takao waved goodbye to Kise and Aomine, they started to make their way towards the public park. The route through the park would take them on a slightly longer route home, however there was a small supermarket on the way. It was a warm and quiet summer's night anyway, so it wasn't like it was an inconvenience for them.

"It was nice seeing everyone again," Takao commented, linking his hand with his taller counterpart's. Midorima nodded as he pulled the shorter man slightly closer to his body. The night had brought back many memories of everything that had happened ten years prior. Leaving middle school, joining Shutoku, meeting Takao...

"Hey..." The two stopped walking suddenly, and Takao tilted his head up to look at his Shin-chan in question. "There's a basketball court just up ahead, and there's usually a couple of spare balls rolling around. You wanna...?"

The question didn't even need an answer as the two suddenly raced down the path towards the public courts. Because it was later in the evening there was no one around so Midorima and Takao played some one on one against each other.

That night, the two young men rediscovered their love of basketball. They played and played until they were panting with exhaustion. But as they stared intently into each others eyes, as the ball was dribbled across the court, they realized that no longer how much time will pass, love will always remain the same.
