You walked into his house. It was cold and empty. You saw a piece of paper lying on the table saying, "Honey, your father and I decided to take the night shift. Your sister is having a sleepover with her friends, so you don't have to wait for her to come home for dinner. I didn't prepare dinner for you tonight, please try and cook something without setting the house on fire. Diarrhoea medicine is in the cabinet. Love you, Shintaro. -Mother."

"Your mom really cares for you." you smiled.

He blushed, "Give me that!" he snatched the piece of paper you were holding.

"There's nothing you be ashamed of, Midorima-kun." you cheered.

He gave you his cold glare and walked to his kitchen.

"Will you be cooking? Remember what your mom said~" you teased.

"Shut up. We're drinking Red Bean Soup." he tossed a can at you.

"Uh.. Thanks.." you caught it the can.

"Red Bean Soup warms you up, especially during winter." he pushed his glasses upwards.

"Mr. Voodoo Moodoo, I'm the President of the Science Club. You don't have to explain."

"Less talking, more drinking." he snapped.

As it got darker, it got colder.

"You don't have a heater here?" you shivered.

"I told you to drink the Red Bean Soup, nanodayo."

"I DID!" you whined.

He grunted and took out his basketball jacket and put it on you.

"I feel like a carrot.." you teased.

"Shut up. Don't make me curse you to die. These words work..."

"Okay, Dumbledore." you laughed.

He sighed, "Go take a shower. After that, we're going to bed."

"What...?" you took a step back.

"Well, duh. Oha-Asa."

"It's not true!"

"Please respect my beliefs, like how I respect your love for Science."

"B-B-But... Where am I sleeping?"

"In my room, of course."

"IN A MAN'S ROOM? NO WAY!" you ran for the door, but he blocked your exit.

"Look, it's not a big deal."

"What about my parents?"

"I've already informed them."

"H-H-How?"

"When you were because chattering with Takao."

"Even if you DID talk to them, they won't allow!"

"It turns out, that your parents were old friends with my father. Nanodayo."

You raised your eyebrow, "You mean... Your dad was THAT Uncle Midorima?"

"We're the only Midorimas in town, idiot."

"So, you were that grumpy kid I spilled milk over?"

He grunted, "That's me."

You laughed, "Long time no see! Did you remember when..."

"You don't have to bring up any embarrassing things about my childhood."

You elbowed him, "Why didn't you tell me who were the Midorima I used to bully?"

"Who would tell their ex-bully that?"

"Good point.." you scratched your chin.

"Idiot."

"You should have told me! I would have seriously followed you all day. No price!"

"You sure like to bully me don't you?" he smirked a bit.

"Ah, good old days.."

"Wait, you didn't even remember my first name?" he growled.

"Ah..." you scratched your nape, "I only remember you as Green Grumpy Kid.."

He palmed his own face, "You spent majority of your childhood bullying me and you can't even remember my full name."

"Ehehe.. Sorry.."

"By the way, do you want to use the bathroom first?" he calmed down.

"Yeah, sure. Thanks."

You went in to the shower. And, it felt great. Taking hot showers during winter was really a reward.

You finished your shower and wrapped a towel around your body, only to realise you didn't have any proper attire.

"Shoot.." you muttered.

You suddenly heard a knock. You opened the door slightly and saw Midorima leaning against the wall, holding a giant green shirt and a pair or loose trousers.

"Thanks..." as you were about to close the door, you realised something, "DID YOU SPY ON ME?"

"What? N-No!" Midorima was flushed.

"PERVERT!" you slammed the door shut.

You put on the shirt he gave you, which was humongous for your fun-sized body. You felt like you were inside of him, which was disgusting. As you were about to put on the trousers, you realised..

...that you didn't have an underwear.

You opened the door slightly, and saw Midorima still leaning against the wall.

"What? Why are you still here?"

"I'm waiting to use the bathroom, idiot!"

'This time he had the perfect excuse. Smarty.'

"I'll be done soon, but could you uh.." you felt really embarrassed to ask this question.

"What?"

You cleared your throat, "Could you spare an underwear?"

He gulped at the question. "S-Sure.."

He went to his closet and gave you one of his underwears. It was your last resort as you could not possibly wear the same underwear for two days in a row. You felt weird putting it on, but you were walled. You had to.

When the both of you were done using the bathroom, he said, "It's time for bed."

"Oh crap."

"What?" he pushed up his glasses.

"It's Saturday tomorrow, right?" you shivered.

"It's Thursday tomorrow."

"NO!"

"What?"

"I forgot my homework!"

"You're truly an idiot, (Last name)."

"Shut up and help me do my homework!" you ordered.

"No way." he crossed his arms.

"MEANIE!"

"Do it yourself. But I'll sit in front of you in case you need help."

"Ugh, at least better than nothing." you mumbled.

So he sat down opposite you, reading his book about fortune telling; while you were finishing your homework.

"Ah... Midorima-kun?"

"What?"

"How do you do this?"

"Which question?"

"Er.. the whole page?"

"WHAT?"

"I'm not good at History.."

"I thought you were supposed to be smart!"

"I'm only good at Science!"

He palmed his face, "Ugh..."

He stood up and sat down behind you, with his jaw right above your head, and his long arms caging you.

"Here, in the year 1670, the dictator..."

Out of the blue, the lights went off.

"Gah!" you were shocked.

No response from Midorima.

You were terrified. You were honestly afraid of the dark. Until now you slept with a night light.

"Midorima-kun?" it was cold, and dark.

"What?"

You turned around and gave him a huge hug.

"O-Oi! What are you doing?"

"I-I-I'm scared of the dark, and I'm cold."

"You're already so old, and you're scared of the dark?"

"Don't judge me.." you whimpered.

You heard a low chuckle from him. And as you rested the left side of your face onto his chest, you heard his heartbeat accelerating rapidly.

"Midorima-kun..."

"What?"

"Why is your heartbeat so fast? It's way quicker than a normal one, and you are supposed to have a slower one than average, since you're an athlete.."

"What are you t-talking about, nanodayo?"

"Midorima-kun, you're actually..."

"N-No, I don't!"

His heartbeat got faster.

"You're actually... afraid of the dark too?"

"...What?"

"Or else why is your heart pumping so quickly?"

"You're such an idiot. Luckily I had a spare torch light."

"YOU HAD THAT ALL ALONG?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me?" you whined as you rubbed your left cheek against his chest. And, his heartbeat pumped even faster.

He flashed that torch light onto your homework, "Continue."

"Mou, just let me copy your homework~~~"

"NO."

"Pleaseee?"

"Negative. In the year..."

He continued talking, and slowly fell asleep on his right arm.

He sighed and placed you on his bed. He placed his blanket onto you, and finished your homework.

The next morning, you woke up in Midorima's bed. wearing Midorim's clothes, and Midorima sleeping on top of your homework.

"Midorima-kun.." you rubbed his back gently.

"Mm.. Good morning..." his morning woof kicked in.

"Morning~" you said with a bright smile.

"Your homework." he pushed the assignments into your face.

"It's done. IT'S DONE?" you gasped.

"Yes."

"Oh, THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!" you hugged him.

Again, your left cheek was pressed onto his chest.

"Midorima-kun, your heart is pumping real quick again. You should probably go see a doctor."

He grunted, "Go take a shower. After breakfast, we're going to school."

"Yes, sir!" you smiled.
