Midorima Shintarou's : Lucky Tiger
"Aominecchi!"
"Shut up, Kise! You're too loud!"
"Hidoi-ssu!"
Midorima snorted and glare at both Aomine and Kise. The tanned boy was covering his ears, protecting them from Kise's high-pitch whining. The Shuutoku player didn't know what's Kise up, it's not like he cared ither. His emerald marbles roll to glanced Takao who was playing with Nigou, while Kuroko and Momoi were watching them from the bench. In the middle of the basketball court, Akashi and Murasakibara were still doing one-on-one. They still had energy after their matches minutes ago. And he didn't see Kagami and Himuro anywhere.
He snorted again.
He started to recollect why they—he was here, in bad temper. Playing basketball together, which was suggested by Kuroko and supported by Akashi, then with Kise's enthusiasme in gathering people, became a gathering that he expected only for ex-Teikou before yet Takao, Kagami and Himuro joined too.
But it's not what he's annoyed at.
He's annoyed because Kuroko suggested the idea just last night, when he was asleep, and he just read his email when he woke up this morning.
He's annoyed because Akashi, too, sent him an email last night—and he, too, just read it this morning—and told that they would play basketball together this morning, at 9 a.m. He just read their emails at 7 a.m, well, at the first, he woke up early in the winter holiday only for listening Oha-asa and did't plan to go outside in winter morning for any reason other than finding his lucky item, if it's needed. But, Akashi said he had to go back to Kyoto this afternoon, his teammates had already been in Kyoto since two weeks ago.
"I don't have much time left, Midorima. We have to use every chance we have."
That's what Akashi said when he called his ex-captain, protesting. It sounded somehow excessive and ambigous.
And the last statement sounded familiar, well, he didn't care.
"And you must come or else."
Yeah, even though his personality had been back to the original one, Akashi was still authoritarian.
And, it's not all.
30 minutes after his conversation with Akashi, Kise and Takao came, got into his room like it's their own room and disturbed him doing his morning ritual, listening Oha-asa. Takao dragged him to his wardrobe, forced him to take some clothes, then dragged him again, while Kise were babbling about 'we'll be late' and 'Akashi will get mad', and then he found himself in his bathroom. He sighed, annoyed, but he dressed for his life's sake.
They didn't stop there. When he ate his breakfast—he's so grateful to his kind little sister, willingly cooked breakfast for him, as his parents went to somewhere he didn't know—Takao and Kise couldn't shut their mouth, annoyed him more.
"Finish it quickly, Shin-chan~! You can do it!"
"C'mon, Midorimacchi! Akashi will be mad if we're late! Quick! Quick!"
"Go! Go! Shin-chan!"
"Ganbatte, Midorimacchi!"
"Go Shin-chan! Go—"
"SHUT UP!" cough cough
Midorima successfully choke.
The duo annoying didn't stop bothering him. After breakfast, Kise dragged him to a cart, and Takao pulled it.
"Wait—nanodayo! I don't bring my lucky item!"
Kise stared Midorima blankly.
"Believe me, Midorimachhi, you won't die just because you don't bring a lucky item for one day-ssu."
While Takao was still pedalling, pretended he didn't hear what Midorima said.
And that's how they dragged Generation of Miracles' number one shooter to this place. He definitely will make those idiots pay.
Mdorima wiped the sweats on his chin, then walked to his bag. He searched for his bottle and he found none. Geez, because of those idiots, he even didn't have time to prepare what he wanted to bring. He searched for his wallet, and he couldn't find it, too. Uh, he recalled it's still on his desk this morning, he didn't have time to take it because Kise dragged him out from his room even before he thought he should bring his wallet. A bit restless, he search some money in his pocket. He didn't find even a cent.
Now he was panic, and very badly annoyed—inside, outside he kept stay cool. Tsundere.
He's sure this event closed by having lunch together since it's already past he didn't have a cent to buy his lunch. It's impossible for him to tell honestly he didn't bring his wallet, his tsundere-ness—and his pride—didn't let it. At a moment, he hoped Akashi would treat all of them, but just thinking about this made him feel hopeless. He wanted to find any reason to go home early, right now, but he knew it'd be futile to escape from Akashi.
In addition, he didn't have a cent to buy lucky item for today. Only God knows what other unluckiness he had to face.
He sent deathglare to Kise and Takao. His briliant brain started planning how he'd kill those idiots. Hm, he probably had to consider to kill Akashi and Kuroko, too, as the masterminds of this event.
"Minna, I bring lunch!"
Midorima snapped his head around to find Himuro walking toward them. He brought a carpet and a large picnic basket. He followed the others approaching the Yosen player.
"Where is Kagami-kun, Himuro-san?" asked Kuroko who since Only-God-knows-when he had been beside Midorima.
Himuro pointed his thumb over his shoulder, seemed Kagami, carrying another picnic basket and three large plastic bag. So they planned to do picnic in the winter? Midorima wanted to laugh at them, but he hold it, because this picnic would save him. They stretched the carpet near the bench. Midorima sat on the space that was left, between Akashi and Kagami. Then, Himuro and Kagami set the food.
"You cooked these, Kagamicchi? Yay! I can eat Kagamicchi's cook again-ssu!" Kise started to take some food.
So, the weird eyebrows boy can cook? Wait, what's the meaning of 'eat Kagamicchi's cook again'? Since when they became closer?
"I don't expect you'll be so enthusiastic in participating this gathering, went as far as cooking for us." Akashi let a small mischievous smile. Midorima's frown deepened.
Why Akashi called Kagami as 'Taiga'? His personality already reverted to the original one, right?
"Don't get it wrong. It's Kuroko's idea. He helped me buying the stuffs and cooking this morning." Kagami's respond came out with a slight cute pout. Wait, cute? Ah, never mind, his brain's overwhelmed by hunger, he thought.
And, why Kuroko? Ah, in few days, it's Kuroko's birthday, if he's not wrong. So this was a birthday treat?
"But, Taiga, you buy us drinks too."
"Urusai, Tatsuya!" Kagami's cheek reddened.
He didn't know why, Midorima felt his stomach tickled when seeing that.
"Really? ArigatouKagamin! You're so nice~ unlike Dai-chan." Momoi elbowed Aomine who sat beside her.
"What the hell, Satsuki?!"
Then, both of them started bickering. Kuroko tried to intervene.
"Kagachin, did you buy Maiubou?"
Kagachin? Midorima stared the big baby , confused. Since when he called the Seirin ace with that nickname?
"No snack before eating lunch, Atsushi." Himuro put away a plastic bag which Murasakibara intended to take. The Yosen center was pouting.
So, Kagami bought them snacks, too, and Maiubou for Murasakibara?
After finishing set the food, they started to take the drinks from the plastic bag. When he wanted to take a can, a hand stretched out to his side, handed him a can of red bean soup. Midorima stared at the hand for a second, before took it and stared at the person who handed the drink.
"What? You drank it in summer camp, right?"
Speechless. He never expect Kagami to remember it. He felt a tickle again, and his lips were threatening to pull a smile. He snorted, prevent himself to smile. Tsundere. He adjusted his glasses.
"I don't expect your small brain could memorize that."
"What did you say?!"
Midorima intended to ignore Kagami, but his emerald marbles found a mini stuffed tiger stick out from Kagami's jacket pocket. He froze.
Stuffed animal is cancer's today lucky item.
Kagami was aware where Midorima's gaze laid on, and he abruptly covered the doll with his hand.
"What?! It's a bonus from konbini."
Midorima didn't say anything, still stared at the stuffed tiger. He clicked his tongue.
And, something the Shuutoku player didn't expect happened. Kagami handed the stuffed tiger to his lap.
"Here! Consider this as a payback for the summer camp. It's not like I need it either."
The ticklish suddenly burst. His heart raced and he could feel his cheek heated. His lips corner twitched. He was glad he got his lucky item, but there's a stronger feeling that made his heart warm. So, he let his lips pull a –he thought—small smile.
"I consider this as a 'thank you'."
"Whatever."
Kagami shifted his gaze to Himuro who was talking with Kise and Takao. Midorima stared at the stuffed tiger. His lips itched, didn't want to let the smile disappear. And the heat on his cheeks didn't want to be faded, though the cold winter breeze attacked his skin. He glanced around, hoped no one paid attention to what Kagami and him done before. Hoped no one saw him now. Yet, when his emerald marbles met Akashi's sideaway gaze and Kuroko's knowing small smile, he knew his hope wasn't granted.
Nevertheless, Midorima didn't realize it, yet, that there's something he need to worry more. It's the fact that he will find himself sleep with the stuffed tiger on his side this night.
And the next nights, for the rest of his life.
