A/N It seems I keep forgetting to do it so...

Enjoy~

One more week… Megumi couldn't believe the changes that were going on in her life…

Last week, after the match, she spent the night at Akashi's house. They slept in the same room. THE. SAME. ROOM! HUGGING!

No… she couldn't believe it. She couldn't fathom the fact that this happened. And now? She's spent most of her time daydreaming. She couldn't concentrate on anything anymore. What's more? Midterms were starting the week after that. What was she going to do? She was officially Akashi's assistant, so she had less time to study. But she wished it was only that. She could deal with it; just a few more hours of studying… but she couldn't even do that anymore.

What am I going to do..? What if I lose my scholarship?

"Hey, guys… Don't you think Mei-chan is acting strange lately?" The pink haired beauty whispered to the boys.

It was lunch time and, as usual, they were gathered on the rooftop. Akashi was playing shogi with Midorima and the others were eating their lunches around them. Megumi was sitting a little ways from them in self isolation.

"She looks normal to me. Silent as usual" Aomine voiced his opinion

"What are you talking about, Dai-chan? Mei-chan is not like that. Look at her!" Momoi said and everyone except Akashi and Midorima turned their attention to her. Megumi let out another sigh as she kept chewing the same bite she had been chewing for five minutes now, chopsticks still in mouth.

They all looked at each other "See? She has been sighing and staring into space like that all week!" Momoi added "She's not even sitting next to Akashi-kun"

Then, they all looked towards the redhead "For one thing, stop calling her Mei-chan. I'm the only one who's allowed to call her that" He glanced towards Megumi. She looked more pale than usual. She's not eating properly, is she...? "Do not disturb us" He ordered and got up

"Oi, Akashi… You're not leaving me for her again, are you? We have a game to finish!" Midorima shouted. Akashi glared at him, but he wouldn't have it this time "I don't care if you like her! If you consider me your friend, you'll spend some of your time with me instead of her, right?" Midorima got up and shouted

There was a glaring contest, which soon ended when a 'thanks for the food' was heard. By the time Akashi turned around to see what happened, Megumi had already disappeared. He tsk-ed.

"You said that on purpose" He accused

"It was the truth, nanodayo" The green haired boy replied

The others were gapping or gulping, watching them fight. Murasakibara, though, just kept eating his snacks.

"There was no reason to say it like that. She must have misunderstood"

"She'll get over it, nanodayo. She doesn't need you to rescue her from every little thing, didn't you say that, nanodayo?" Midorima argued

"Aka-chin is wasting time~ Mido-chin should stop being a bitch~" Murasakibara said.

Akashi rushed towards the doors. Midorima held his arm "Oi! We're not done, nanodayo!"

Akashi freed his arm "No, we're not. But, right now, she comes first" He said and went to search for her

Midorima kept looking at the doors. He stared and stared and stared. Akashi wasn't coming back. He felt bad. Should he chase after him? Should he help him look for Megumi? Why? Why did he have to do it?

"Oi, Mido-chin~ I wanna speak with you~" The purple haired giant declared and dragged him to the other side of the rooftop

"What's the meaning of this, nanodayo?!" He shouted

"You're too loud~" The giant commended while covering his ears "If I were you, I'd keep my voice down~" He smirked

"W-what do you mean?"

"I know Mido-chin's secret~" He whispered "Now, I don't have anything against people like you or anything~ I might be one of you for all I care~"

"What are you trying to say, nanodayo?" Midorima glared

"That if you get between those two, I will break you~" He answered and went back to their companions "But if you don't, we can still hang out~"

Days kept passing by. First, the weekend, then Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday… Megumi was avoiding him. She wouldn't have lunch with him or the others and every time he tried to talk to her, she would always flee from him. She only spoke with Murasakibara and that was because he'd only talk about snacks.

Now, it was PE. Megumi didn't have to do anything because of her physical condition, so she decided to help with the equipment. She walked towards the sinks to drink some water, throwing some of it to her face.

Today was hard. Both the classrooms merged for PE, competing in sports. Thanks to her special leave, it was easy to avoid a certain boy, but she knew, as soon as the bell rang, it would be a matter of time until he went after her.

She splashed some more water on her face. She knew… She knew she got all of that wrong. It must have been wrong… But she needed to be alone. She needed to keep her distance until she could concentrate. She couldn't keep this dramatic situation going. She needed to think about her scholarship, her future!

She splashed more water

"You look pathetic, nanodayo" A familiar voice was heard

Besides, I don't want to separate those two anymore. They've been friends since forever… It's not fair to take Sei-chan from him

She smiled "Good afternoon, Midorima-san" She wiped her face with a towel "May I help you with something?"

There, she was doing it again. Keeping that innocent act, as if she hasn't done anything wrong. But Midorima knew better than that. Why do I have to be the one to run into her? "You look disgusting"

She flinched at his tone. She expected him to be mad, but she wasn't prepared after all "I…" She took steps back

"Don't you dare run away!" He shouted and she flinched even more, especially since he didn't end his sentence the way he usually did. She stood there frozen, scared of what would come next

"You suddenly appear out of nowhere, taking him by the hand, taking him away from us! From me! And even though you did all that…"

She looked him in the eyes and even though he was trying his best to appear angry, she could definitely see that he was hurt

"You're such a disgrace! Akashi has been worried about you and you keep running away from him! He's been spacing out like an idiot! He's been making a fool of himself! Do you know whose fault that is?!"

Megumi took steps back until she leaned on the sinks. Her knees were giving up. "I… I'm so-"

"No, you're not! Stop causing trouble for Akashi! Look at you! You're looking worse each day that goes by!"

"Well I can't help it!" The brunette raised her voice for the first time; she was at the verge of crying "I was born like that, but what would you know about it?! I can feel it too, you know?! I'm about to get sick again! But my body is like that! I can't prevent this from happening!" She felt a teardrop slide down her cheek and tried to wipe it with the back of her hand "Sei-chan said that he likes me and that means that he'll be hurt if something bad happens to me…"

Midorima let out a sigh and searched his pocket for a handkerchief "Is this the reason you were late to enrol?" When he found one, he whipped her face clean. She nodded "Does he know about this?" She nodded again "You're stupid… you and Akashi both… Don't you know who I am?" She looked at him in question and he let out another sigh "My family is full of doctors. Come by and I'll tell them to run tests for you"

"I've had more than enough tests in my life, Midorima-san… but, thank you, for the kind offer" she gave a sad smile

Midorima made an offended sound "Don't you dare compare us with the hospitals financed by the government! There's a huge difference between us!"

She frowned, looking at him with wide eyes, speechless "But my family doesn't have the money to-"

"Keep your money, nobody needs it… You have a job to do and you're not allowed to run from it anymore!"

She felt like she had been slammed hard in the face "I… I'm sorry for all the trouble I have caused!" She bowed deeply

"Hmp! You should be! You better not make Akashi worry again!"

After PE was over, she found herself waiting outside the changing rooms. The boy in question came out in a rush, green haired boy on his tail. When he noticed that she was just standing there waiting, he froze. He thought she's try to run away from him again, but, instead, she walked towards his frozen stature and then bowed

"I'm so sorry!" She said with all her might. Ruby eyes could still not fathom what was going on. Wasn't he the one who had to apologise?

"Well then, I'll let you two have a talk" Midorima announced and left

"Mei-chan, what are you-"

"I was being stupid! At first I ran away because of what you said and then I kept avoiding you because I was trying to concentrate, but every day it was becoming worse and then-"

She never got a chance to finish the sentence; the boy had suddenly hugged her, making her forget how to use her voice for enough seconds to forget whatever she had to say

"It doesn't matter. I don't care why. I just… Don't do that again" He tightened his hold on her and she hugged him back and nodded

A few awkward moments became minutes… silence…

"Sei-chan..?"

"What is it?"

"Will you help me study?"

After all this time, she finally went back to club practice. But it never happened. Everyone was gathered in front of the bleachers and so, she went to see what was happening

"And so, the coach gave everyone time off until the exams are over, so that we can study. If someone wants to practice on their own, they are free to do it, but they have to ask for the keys from the coach. Is everything understood?" Momoi asked

"Yes ma'am!" Everyone exclaimed

"Well then, I'm going home first! Dai-chan, follow me!" She grabbed her blue haired childhood friend and left the gym.

"If that is all, I'm going home~ Do you wanna go together, Megu-chin~?" Murasakibara asked his partner in class

"Sounds like a good idea, Atsu-kun" She smiled at his offer "I can finally buy you some pocky since you always share yours with me"

"Heee~ Let's go, then~"

"Only if you help her study chemistry, Atsushi" A familiar voice was heard behind her "You asked me to help you study, didn't you?" Akashi asked

"Eh? But today, all of a sudden…"

"We should go to my house, nanodayo. My parents can have a look at you" Midorima joined in

"Sounds like a plan. Let's go, everyone" Akashi decided by himself and was the first one to walk out, holding his Megumi by the hand and dragging her with him

"They say the ghost appeared again last night…" Megumi heard one girl say but could not hear the rest, as she was dragged away.

What she noticed before leaving the school grounds, was that same teal coloured hair as last time, but by the time she turned around to see who it is, the boy had already disappeared

A/N So.. I know.. this was short, without too much details and a lot of drama... But as you can guess the appearance of a certain someone is hinted, which means that in 2-3 chapters this is going to stop and the angst will finally begin...

If someone could leave some feedback, it would help...

Ah! Before I forget, I think you all got what Midorin's secret is... Let me make this clear, I have nothing against gay people, I have a few friends like that. Midorin will get his own happy ending, I think you guys know with whom ;) I just wanted this drama to happen, in order to add one more reason why Midorin will break later :D Sorry I tend to use EVERYTHING I write for later chapters, no drama is irrelevant :D

Enough rumbling, See you as soon as I write the next chappie~
