It was another day of practice for the Basketball club of Teiko Middle School. Strenuous exercise, rigorous training and to top it all, a very hot day, sweat literally trickled down on everyone's foreheads. And to the team's helpers' dismay, it was a day for them to do the laundry twice.

Momoi Satsuki, who is one of the team's helpers, is sitting pretty at the bleachers, why is that? Well, she is also the team manager, and her job for today is to direct the training program of the team which saves her from picking up sweaty and dirty towels, jerseys and even socks from the locker rooms.

She tapped her pen cheerily on her board as she watched the players train, she almost didn't took notice of the scorching heat, she just sat there observing and handing out bottled water to any player who was almost dehydrated.

Midorima raised his hand to signal that he was going for a short break; he walked towards the bleachers and sat a little not too far away from Momoi. The peach head offered a cold bottle of mineral water and a warm smile to the frowning Midorima who was cursing the heat under his breath.

"Thank you." He mumbled softly, and then he took of his glasses to dry off his face with a towel.

Momoi can't help but stare at the guy; it was actually her first time seeing his face without his spectacles.

"What are you looking at?" He scowled with an irritated face.

Her eyes widened more, and they actually gleamed, Midorima scooted slowly away from the girl. Weirdo.

Momoi scooted swiftly towards him, so close that their faces are less than five inches away from each other, Midorima's face frowned more, but this time with a very light shade of red noticeable in his cheeks.

"Momoi, what is your problem?" He asked still trying to get his face away from the close proximity with the girl's.

"Midorima-kun! I never have noticed how long your eyelashes are! Your eyes are really pretty!" She said excitedly as she cupped the confused Midorima's face with her two hands as if she was to give him a…kiss.

Too close! Midorima wasn't prepared for Momoi's sudden physical response, well; no one will ever be if they are in his situation. His face was suddenly bright red, quickly; he removed Momoi's hands from his face (more like cheeks) and turned away from her sight.

"Midorima-kun, are you alright? You were suddenly hot." She asked with a hint of concern.

"I-I'm fine." He stuttered putting back his eyes' shield. Midorima is a well-bred man; he was raised very appropriately and well…too conservative. He is not used to any impulsive physical response and such especially from a girl. Yes, he has a mother, and a little sister actually, but neither of those two will suddenly hold his face so close to theirs and compliment how beautiful his eyes are. It was a dilemma for Midorima, well, that's how he saw it.

"Midorin?" Momoi called out once again to the green head.

"What Midorin?" He turned back to the girl.

"Well, your name is kinda long, so…if you don't mind I'll call you Midorin from now on…" She said a bit embarrassed, it's not normal to suddenly come up with nicknames after all.

Midorima cursed under his breath again. "Do whatever you want…" He frowned as he stood up to return to the court.

"Thanks, Midorin!" Momoi waved. "Your eyes are really pretty I tell you!" She brought the topic again.

Midorima didn't respond, but he flinched at her words, and within a nanosecond, his thoughts dazed off, and so as the basketball that came flying towards his face, hitting him hard and leaving his glasses broken.

"Midorima-san!"

"Midorin!"

"Shintaro!"

A variety of how he was called echoed in the gym.

The players hurried to his side and did Momoi, and for the third time within a short range of minutes, he cursed the world under his breath. Now I have to wear contacts for the rest of the day. He looked up to Momoi, though with a blurry image, he could still perceive that weird twinkle in her eyes upon seeing his.
