the queen and her demon (midorima shintaro x reader)

47: Mystery Girl

Tadao: Hey Masaomi.

Masaomi: Hi Tadao, how was maths?

Tadao: I couldn't concentrate at all, all I could think about was that girl-

Masaomi: The girl you don't even know the name of...

Tadao: Yeah yeah, speaking about her, did you find her?

Masaomi: Sorry, I didn't even get the chance to, my new partner is so weird and creepy, it was unpleasant.

Tadao: Ughhh it's fine, hopefully i'll see her on the bus again.

Masaomi: Okay enough about that girl, we have basketball practice.

Tadao: Mhmm.

They both enter the gym not realising a small girl slipped inside behind them, as Tadao was too busy day dreaming and Masaomi was still trying to snap him out of it. They continue to the changing rooms to get ready for practice. Soon enough, the rest of the team was also out and ready to start practise.

Masaomi: I can feel an unwanted presence here, where in the world is it coming from?

Tadao: I bet it's nothing, come on we have a comp coming up soon.

Masaomi: When will you ever start using full words, Tadao, I swear.

Tadao: Hey I'm doing just fine with my words, so shut up.

Masaomi: Okay, I need everyone doing drills, everyone warming up by doing layups.

(A/N: not gonna lie, I don't know a lot about basketball so if u play basketball and anything I say is far from the truth, I'm so sorry, just pretend like i said the right thing)

The team warms up and Masaomi manages to catch slight movement from the bleachers. He doesn't make it obvious but he pulls Tadao to the side and whispers:

Masaomi: Throw your basketball over there by the bleachers.

Tadao: Why?

Masaomi: Just do it, don't make it obvious yet.

Tadao slowly nods and runs up to the basket as though he was going to lay up but at the last minute, throws his basketball to the side, hitting the bleachers. A small squeal was heard temporarily. The whole team stops and Masaomi walks towards the bleachers, Tadao following suit.

Masaomi: Reveal yourself, you can't hide anymore.

A girl slowly stands up from behind one of the seats, her head hanging low and her long black hair covering her face.

Tadao: Show us your face!

???: I'm sorry for invading, please excuse me.

She says, ignoring Tadao's request.

Masaomi: You could have easily excused yourself before we found out but you didn't, so, I will not excuse you yet. Lift. Your. Head.

She slowly lifts her head, her shiny grey eyes now visible. Two audible gasps were heard and spontaneously:

Masaomi: Sunako-san.

Tadao: OMG.

Tadao: WAIT HOW DO YOU KNOW HER?

Masaomi: She's my chemistry partner. He says in a very dull tone.

Tadao: Masaomi, can I just speak to you for a sec?

Tadao pulls Masaomi to the side.

Tadao: THAT'S HER!

Masaomi: No you can't be serious? She's so strange, she acts like a stalker.

Tadao: I can't believe she's your partner.

Masaomi: Woah, don't get the wrong idea, if i could switch partners I would have already done so.

Tadao: No, no, this is perfect. You can easily get her to like me back now.

Masaomi: come on! You can't be serious? She has so many things that seem fishy about her.

Tadao: That's not true at all-

Sunako: I'm sorry, please spare me.

Masaomi and Tadao turn to face her and rejoin the group.

Masaomi: why were you here after i specifically told you not to come?

Sunako: I-I just wanted to s-see someone.

Masaomi: Who?

Sunako quickly scans the group and notices Tadao's eyes: him.

Tadao widened his eyes in shock and stumbled over his words.

Tadao: M-me?

Masaomi: Why Tadao?

Tadao: Why not Tadao?

Masaomi: That wasn't an insult Tadao, I want to know why she came now, and why here.

Sunako: I j-just...love him.

The whole team gasps and screams, turning to Tadao to congratulate him while Masaomi stays sceptical.

Team mate #1: YOU LIKE TADAO?

Team mate #2: WOAHHHHH. TADAO DO YOU LIKE HER BACK?

Tadao: ... well I don't k-know if it's l-love yet-

Team mates: OMGGGG THEY LOVE EACH OTHERRRRR!!!!

Team mate #4: You guys should date.

Sunako looks at him from under her eyelashes, waiting. Masaomi rolls his eyes in disbelief.

Masaomi's POV:

She clearly just made that up. It's obvious.

She seems to be quite skilled in reading the room and people's emotions, that she saw right through Tadao. As predicted, Tadao has fallen for her even more and everyone's distracted from the question I asked her.

What a sly girl. I don't like her one bit. Something is definitely off but Tadao won't listen to me now, not after that major confession.

"-how about tomorrow at 7?" Sunako's voice snaps me back to reality.

Great, they've already scheduled a date.

"S-sure!" Tadao beams back. Sunako giggles before saying goodbye and leaving the gym.

What a nuisance.

I will get to the bottom of this, and expose her true nature.

A/N: Hey guys, long time no see. So sorry about how long I'm taking, I keep getting swamped by my work at school but I'm so thankful to see people interested in my story and thank you to those that still read this. I promise you I have a plot in mind, It's just dependant on when I can get my hands on my computer to write it alongside school work. I was planning on writing more in this chapter but I was conscious that I hadn't posted in a while and I keep delaying when I publish it so here you go. See you guys in the next chapter and have a good day!!

Kise: a/n-cchi when can I come back into the story?🥹

a/n: ahhh i don't know yet, sorry ryota :( 🥲🥲
