Beyond Expectations

"Can't you just tell me what you feel, your actions are confusing me"

Midori Nagamasa is a very confusing person.

At least that's what Hotaru thinks so. After that very..ummnn... inappropriate...meeting with Midori, the said man had made it his daily routine to visit her father's hospital room every day, since he found out that her father was admitted on that hospital. Surprisingly, the two got along so well, and to the girl's surprise, her mother approved of her suitor.

With a blushing red face, Hotaru shook her head in denial as her mother eyed her with interest. "N-No! You are misunderstanding everything Mother! Midori-san is not Tachibana's suitor"

Her mother merely raised an eyebrow, amusement twinkling in her eyes. "That's not what he said to me" She said, pointing to the said young man who was chuckling as he watched the mother and daughter's interaction with interest, especially Hotaru's blushing face. He loves her embarrassed face, it made her so innocent and vulnerable completely opposite to what she becomes when she's talking about her so called 'justice'.

"Midori-san! Please help me explain" Hotaru pleaded but Midori merely smirked. "Why should I explain? I already told your parents my real intentions Hotaru" Her face turned red at he spoke her first name. What is this feeling? Tachibana has never felt so confused and overwhelmed before.

With such futile attempts of dissuading her mother, Hotaru tiredly walked to the park near the hospital with Midori following her. Plopping down on the bench tiredly, she sighed. The handsome doctor took this chance to sit beside the blonde teen.

"What is worrying you Hotaru?" He asked, the serene smile etched on his face as always.

Hotaru, blunt as always, looked at him. "You"

"Me?"

"Yes. Midori-san is confusing Tachibana very much. Why are you doing this to Tachibana?" She asked confusion clear as the sky in her eyes.

"What's there to be confused?"

"You act so sweet to Tachibana. You treat Tachibana well…You're acting as if you really care…" Hotaru frowned. She didn't why she was saying this. Truth be told, she is very pleased with how the handsome doctor was treating her but she was afraid that it might be just all because they are friends… "Tachibana doesn't want this to be just all her wishful thinking. Can't you just tell Tachibana the truth?"

Her eyes watered slightly, her heart beat loudly, she tried to ready herself for the incoming painful truth.

Midori looked at the younger teen beside him. His eyes widened a fraction. Is this really the over optimistic Tachibana Hotaru in front of him? Her eyes watering, making her beautiful lime green eyes shine brighter, the blush adorning her face made her even more adorable.

She had her defenses down. She let down all the walls so that he could come in. Once again, Tachibana Hotaru had went beyond expectations.

He, Nagamasa Midori fell in love with her, all over again.

He couldn't help it. He laughed, earning a surprise gasp from the girl.

"Hahahaha!"

"Why are you laughing? Are you making fun of Tachibana?" Hotaru couldn't believe it. Here she was opening up to him and he was laughing. How dare he make fun of her! She stood up from her seat and was about to leave when a hand grabbed her arm and next thing she knew, he was already in his arms. Her face pressed against his chest. Why is his heart beating so fast?

"I'm sorry. Don't get mad" Midori breathed out as he held her tightly. She was so perfect in her arms. She was like a fragile doll with her looks but no one knew how tough she was and he loved that. "It's just that I couldn't help but laugh on how you made me fall for you again with the simplest reasons"

Hotaru's eyes widened in surprise. "Y-You…really…?

Midori smiled. "Of course"

"Why? I am not a lady-like girl. I act brashly. I love survival games. I am tougher than most guys. I-"

"That's what I love about you" The doctor cut her off. "So what if you're not a lady-like girl? I don't care besides girls who are so girlish are not my type. You act brashly? That's what makes you adorable, well…in my books that is… and you love survival games? I love it too! We can play together! Isn't that what couples like to do? Enjoying things together, you are tougher that most guys? That's great! It makes me proud that a girl can protect herself. Hotaru, you don't have to be afraid of yourself or what others think. What I think is that you are an amazing girl"

Tears began to fall from her eyes as Hotaru stared up at Midori. Did he really mean the things he said?

"You are weird. Saying stuffs like that" she joked.

"Well, love is an irrational thing" Midori smiled. "So give me a chance"

Hotaru nodded. "Fine"

2 year after…

"Midori-san! It's been awhile!" Takatora Fujimoto's face almost filled up the whole screen as he tried to video call with his long time idol.

"Haha. Yes, it's been awhile Fujimon" Midori chuckled. Yes, it's truly been awhile. Two years had passed, a lot of things changed. He and Hotaru have been in a relationship for a year. Despite their dynamic chemistry, they were just a normal couple. They had their ups and downs, they were not perfect but they were as happy as any couple could be.

"Midori-sensei, how have you been?" Ichi asked as she tried to push off Fujimon from the screen. "I'm doing well here, Ichi" He replied. "How about you two?"

"Fine as always Midori-sensei" Ichi replied, a hint of happiness could be seen in her eyes.

"You look really happy these days Midori-san" Fujimon commented, earning a chuckle from the green haired doctor.

"Yes, I am. What's not to be happy about?"

"When are you gonna visit Midori-sensei?" Ichi asked.

"Next month maybe"

"We'll be looking forward"

Midori smirked inwardly; He was a bit curious as to how the others would react to his relationship with the blonde girl. He was sure that Masamune and Yukimura would be part of the group that would overreact. After a few minutes, he ended the call. He lazily stretched as he thought some plans on how to surprise everyone.

"What are you planning?" A familiar voice asked suddenly. The voice of the girl that he had grown to love over the years.

"Oh, Hotaru" He smiled at his lover. "What brings you here?" He asked curiously, it was a surprise for him to have her visiting him in the hospital with her busy schedule with the Tachibana family dojo.

He took in the sight before him. She had grown to be a lovely lady over the years. Her hair had grown past her shoulders, her face had become more defined. She had matured but she will always be a child at heart.

"Why? Can't Tachibana visit you?" She asked, her eyes squinting in suspicion. One thing that Midori had learned over the time dating Hotaru that the girl was a very possessive one.

"Nah, you can"

She grinned. "Good, Tachibana thought she might break a few bones here"

Midori sweatdropped at his lover's words. "Hotaru, you should really watch your words. We're in a hospital"

"Sorry" Hotaru grinned. "Tachibana brought you lunch!"

"Thanks!"

As Midori happily ate the food she brought, Hotaru decided to look around his office. Her eyes warming up at the sight of their picture hang on the wall. It never failed to make her happy on how proud Midori is of her.

As the couple made their way home to their house, Hotaru thought about her friends in Japan. She really missed them, she missed playing with them.

"Neh, Midori…"

"Hm?"

"Can we visit Japan?"

Midori turned to look at her. "What brought this on?"

"Nothing. I just miss everyone"

The green haired doctor sighed. "I was planning to surprise for our anniversary next month but I'll just give it to you in advance" He handed her two plane tickets; Hotaru laughed and happily threw her arms around him.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!"

When they reached their house, Hotaru happily bounded up the stairs. "Since Tachibana is very happy, Tachibana will cook a feast tonight!"

Midori smiled. "That's great. Shall we invite your parents?" When Hotaru nodded, he immediately made the call and was told that they would be over there in 30 minutes. Midori went to their room and changed out of his clothes before walking back downstairs. He decided to read some books in the living room when he saw their photo album in the sofa.

He decided to browse their pictures. One was a photo of their first date. He and Hotaru's faice caked with mud, pressed together as they smiled at the camera. It was kind of funny when they tried to have a normal date in a restaurant but as usual the energetic teen found it uncomfortable so they end up in the nearest survival game site where they played against each other and as usual, he won.

Another one was a picture of their first Christmas together. In the photo was Hotaru and him sitting on the floor with their newly bought christmas tree behind them. Gift wrappers, candies and ribbons were strewn all over the floor.

"What are you looking at?" Hotaru peeked at the album and a warm smile made way to her face. "Reminiscing?"

"Kind of"

"Dinner's almost done. When is my parent's arriving?" She asked as she walked back to the kitchen to check the food she was preparing. "Thirty minutes" Midori replied. As he continued browsing through their photos together, Midori could not believe how much the young blonde changed his life.

At first, he thought that he was in complete control of his life but when this girl came crashing into his life, he could no longer expect anything. He did not expect to be living in a house with his girlfriend nor be here in america. But here he was, living happily.

Well, Tachibana Hotaru, really made his life beyond expectations.
