CHAPTER XI

"AHHHH I love you so much, it's scaring me Shin-chan!" Takao suddenly blurted out as he grabbed Midorima and hugged him so tight that the taller man had difficulty breathing.

The sudden confession and hug caught him off guard too much that he tried to step back but the sudden movement caused them to tumble down with Takao on top of him.

They stayed staring at each other's eyes for what seemed an eternity. Neither of them blinking until Midorima broke the silence.

"So…you love me huh?" Midorima looked away.

"I do. I've been doing my best not to let it show much and it's a good thing that you're also dense but, I guess jealousy is a really scary enemy hehe. How about you Shin-chan, how do you feel about me?" He ended with his signature grin.

He said it so smoothly which made the Midorima kind of irritated. If he could say it like this why did he even have to secretly send that letter.

"C- can we talk about this at another time?"

He wasn't ready to give his answer. There were so many things to consider. A guy like him needs to analyze things first although right now he couldn't really explain why his heart seemed to burst out from his chest. Could love between men really prosper? What would his parents say? What about their friends? All these questions terrified him.

Midorima was caged in between Takao's hands so when he tried to escape, Takao grabbed his left hand and pulled him up.

"I would really love to know your answer but knowing you, you would need time. What happened now wasn't planned so it confused you. I'm sorry for putting you on the spot Shin-chan."

Takao's face was a mixture of apology and love. He cupped Midorima's face with his hands again and tip toed.

He instinctively closed his eyes and was ready to cover his lips with his hand but expecting it to be another kiss but the shorter guy planted a soft kiss on his forehead instead. He opened his eyes and found Takao snickering.

"Oh Shin-chan were you expecting another kiss on your lips? Hahaha, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Would you like me to fulfill your wish now?"

He gave him a death glare but he was flushing profusely.

"I'm hungry, let's go home." Before he was able to turn his back, Takao grabbed his left hand and planted a soft kiss on it.

"Your wish is my command, my ace sama."

Takao was humming a song while pedaling. Once in a while he was looking back at him while grinning from ear to ear.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Stupid One." He said it as loud as he can, wanting to shatter the idiot's confidence.

The rickshaw stopped moving. Takao hopped towards Shin-chan and shook him while holding his shoulders.

"WAAAAHHHHHH…H-HOW DID YOU KNOW!? Are you a psychic!?"

"Maybe I am. The chocolate cat was delicious by the way." He smirked.

"Now hurry up I am really famished."

"No way, Shin-chan you're too cunning. Here I thought my confession tonight was cool." His shoulders were now slumped as he continued their travel back.

Midorima smiled secretly and reminded himself not to fall too fast.

"Hey Shin-chan, could it be that the letter sender you were curious about was me all along? You even asked for my help hahaha. That means I have a god chance of capturing my ace sama's heart then? He turned around and gave him a wink and blew a kiss.

Midorima's eyes widened and blushed for the nth time tonight. Now the table have turned. He really couldn't win against the idiot.

He looked up and there were countless stars tonight as he remembered Scorpio was number one today in Oha Asa.
