Connection

So, another crazy idea when I have not finished my other ideas. Sue me. I literally thought of this in the toilet, and so this prompt escalated from there.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kuroko no Basuke, no matter how much I try, and it belongs to the author.

"Shin-chan, what're you holding? Your lucky item?"

"Yes it is. Today's lucky item is a carrot, with cancers in 2nd place."

"A carrot? Seriously Shin-chan, a carrot?"

"Yes Takao, a carrot."

"I swear, Oho Asa's lucky items are getting weirder by the day."

"Shut your mouth Takao."

-

It was when Midorima put his carrot down to change out of his school uniform for practise did Takao make the connection.

"Pffftttt! Shin-chan!"

"What do you want Takao."

"Did you not realise that you've been holding yourself this entire time?"

"Explain Takao."

"Your hair is green, your jersey is orange and your slim like a carrot!"

All the while, Takao was trying desperately not to fall while laughing at the pure irony that was Midorima's life.

"Takao! This is not funny! I'm not a carrot! I'm a perfectly normal basketball player!"

"But- your jersey- hair- pfffttttt!"

And Takao had finally lost it, rolling on the floor and laughing his heart out.

Midorima, on the other hand, was red-faced and trying-but-failing to get Takao to "Shut your mouth!"

"Takao!"

"You- can't-deny it- Shin-chan!"

"Shut up or I'll curse you with Oho Asa!"

Takao immediately stopped rolling, but continued to cackle while picking himself up off the floor.

The 'Curse of Oho Asa' was no joke. Takao had the worst day of his life when that happened once. He still had shivers to this day.

"Don't worry Shin-chan, no one will know about your secret, I promise."

-

And the next day, he proceeded to spill that secret wherever he went, screaming "Midorima Shintaro is a carrot!" while running down the hallways.

When lunch finally arrived, Midorima had been asked the same "Are you really part carrot Midorima-san?" question, so many times that he had cursed Takao with the 'Curse of Oho Asa' that his life would probably be really miserable for the next 5 years.

Not that that mattered much to Takao anyway.

"Damn you Takao!"

Takao's cackling could be heard throughout the hallways.

So, there it is. I had to really think about how to execute it for a long time, and I finally decided to work on it 'cause the internet was down.

Do suggest some ideas please. And I am considering a Miracles find outwit Takao always cackles in the face of a carrot. I will include the Shuutoku team too, don't worry.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Peace out!
