Surprise?

Midorima's Secret

"Good evening sirs! We were already informed to send you each to your respective rooms."

Upon entering the love hotel, a friendly looking attendee immediately scooted forward towards them with a small smile on her face.

Midorima let out a choke while Kagami let out a small whimper, both confused and uncomfortable with the current situation.

"Wait, there must be a mistake-" Kagami started, but was cut off.

"Our management will never make a mistake upon an order." The attendee smiled at them with an unreadable expression. "Please, Midorima-san, Kagami-san."

Midorima gave up. She already knew their names. Oha Asa was right. Something unexpected did happen. The whole deal was downright weird, he had to admit. If he was his usual self, he would have instantly turned away the moment he entered the love hotel district. Hell, he would never even had stepped foot into any hotel district to begin with. If it wasn't for his curiosity getting the better of him...

Well, it was all for the sake of knowing what Takao was doing... Right..?

His stomach clenched a little as unpleasant thoughts suddenly burst through his mind. Thoughts he had been trying to press down since so long ago suddenly surfaced, each thought agitating the green-haired shooter even further.

Takao might be in love with Kuroko...

He would never come to love, or even like someone like you...

Why are you still denying the fact that you love Takao..?

Midorima grit his teeth harshly. He wasn't oblivious about himself as many assumed. The truth... was actually the opposite. He knew, he had craved, wanted the stupid hawk-eyed boy the moment that idiot had stupidly decided to stay back with him for extra practice – something no one had ever done before.

And before he knew it, he started staring at Takao all the time, his mind snapping to attention whenever Takao's name was mentioned by anyone, the jealousy when he sees a girl confessing to Takao, the triumph when he sees Takao rejecting them...

He didn't cope being in love with his best friend well. The guilt was like a heavyweight in his heart, making his heart ache every time... Even so, he couldn't stop the ever so delicious thoughts of Takao spread out across his bed, panting and flushed with-

Right. Those thoughts could as well give him a boner in the middle of the entrance of a love hotel. Back to the point.

He hated it when Takao starting leaving early since last Tuesday. He hated it so much. He hated the fact that he had to push back the thoughts of being in love or ravishing Takao during the day; but he always let his imagination roaming through the nights...

Midorima shook the thoughts off. It just wasn't the right time to be thinking of such things. He took in a deep breath as his mind cleared and jabbed the frozen Kagami in the ribs, earning a painful 'Ow!' from the said boy. The split-eyebrows bastard had been oddly silent the entire trip to the hotel. He scowled as he headed towards the corridors, where the attendee stood smiling politely as she waited for them.

He just wanted to know what Takao had been hiding from him, and if Takao was... In love with Kuroko, it might be a lot easier for him to end it with an unrequited love...
