Absolute Fail: Midorima Shintarō's Dumbest Moments
After discovering the power he held at his wrapped fingertips, Midorima found great enjoyment throwing the ball high up into the air while everyone stared and watched. It gave him a sense of satisfaction knowing that Murasakibara couldn't block it and Aomine found it extrememly annoying.
"I can't believe Midorima found a way to be more annoying than he already was!", Aomine had yelled when Midorima had first demonstrated his new shot. The green-haired shooter had graced the ace with only a smirk before stealing the ball and shooting another three-pointer.
Little did he realize that the extremely high arc would cause what he considered the stupidest thing he had ever done in a basketball match.
Used to luxurious, large gyms with high ceilings at Teiko Middle School, Midorima did not even think for a moment about the fact that this poorer school's gym did not have as high of a ceiling.
Without thinking, about half way through the first quarter Midorima shot one of his infamous shots from the half-court line. Only to be shocked when the high arc of the ball hit one of the lights and wires on the ceiling causing a blackout in the gym.
The game therefore had to be suspended due to the fact that the gym lost all electricity and light. Though somehow miraculously, Midorima's shot had apparently still made it in.
Though the green-haired shooter was teased mercilessly for the next week with comments like, "Be sure not to cause another blackout, Midorima!" or "Midorima-cchi! The arc is getting too close the lights!"
After that incident, Midorima always made sure to inspect the height of the ceiling in the gym he is playing at.
"Shin-chan! Why are you staring so intently at the ceiling?"
"Shut up Takao."
-o-
"Where is my pink and purple flowered purse?!"
Takao laughed, "Did you realize how weird that sounded, Shin-chan?"
Midorima was too busy looking around the shoe store to care about Takao's comment.
"Takao, where is my lucky item!"
"Just because I have the Hawk Eye doesn't mean that I can see everywhere to see that ugly thing you brought."
"This is not a time for jokes!"
"Maybe you left it at one of the stores we went to."
With that Midorima strode off with a determined look in his eyes.
It was the worst afternoon that Midorima ever had ever experienced and the best for Takao. Midorima constantly tripped over nothing, got pooped on by random birds flying by, and walked into walls.
The fact that Takao was constantly laughing at him just made him even angrier than he already was.
"Have you seen a pink and purple flowered purse?"
"No, I haven't. Though isn't that a strange item for a teenage boy to lose?"
Midorima had angrily stalked out of every shop so far with no further lead on the location of his lucky item.
"Oh!"
Midorima ignored Takao's yelp of surprise and continued walking without looking back.
"Oh!"
Again Midorima ignored him."
"OH!"
"What do you want, Takao!"
"I found your lucky item!"
"What!"
Midorima immediately turned around to see Takao holding up the pink and purple-flowered purse from his backpack.
"Shin-chan! I must have put it in there when you went looking for basketball shoes! Oops."
The people walking by looked amusedly as a certain green-haired boy holding a vibrant pink and purple flowered purse chase another boy around who was laughing on the top of his lungs.
It was definitely one bad afternoon for Midorima Shintarō.
Takao swears that the punch in the face he got was totally worth it.
-o-
"This is stupid, Takao."
"Well Shin-chan, do you have any other idea for beating your captain's Emperor Eye?"
"Former captain, Takao."
"That's not the point!"
"How do you feel like an idiot jumping without a ball in your hands when you carry around all those embarrassing items around all day?" Miyaji interjected.
"They help me with my shooting! I need them to shoot properly!"
"We then stop depending on those stupid things and trust in Takao instead! He may be an idiot most of the time, but I have to admit he's good at passing."
"That's so mean, Miyaji-senpai!"
"You two idiots stop yelling and get to practicing!"
Kimura sighed, "Miyaji, you are kind of being a hypocrite there."
"Well," Takao turned away from Miyaji breathing fire on Kimura to face Midorima, "Are we doing it or what?"
"Fine."
Midorima went into position and jump up with his hands out in front of him, but without the ball he accidentally jumped forward and a little higher than he would usually jump for a shot.
"Watch out Shin-chan!"
The ball Takao passed to him would have been perfectly on mark if Midorima hadn't jump so high. Instead, it hit Midorima right in the face.
"Takao!"
"Don't kill me Shin-chan!"
Thank you for all the patience. I know I took forever to update. The next chapter will be a Christmas special will be posted in about two weeks if I can make it. There is a poll on my profile about my update schedule. I suggest you go and vote on it if you want me to have a semi-consistent updating schedule by next year. Thank you for reading!
