-αѕѕιᴅυιту- [Midorima x Reader] {Kuroko no Basket}

♧Confession Seven♧

Three days.

Exactly three days and he's been visited by everyone and their mothers. Midorima was sure that the fault laid with Takao. That boy probably broke the news to anyone who made eye contact with him that Midorima Shintarou had finally acquired a girlfriend (marriage candidate). 

Everyone knew. His basketball team, his parents, the Generation of Miracles--

Speaking of which...

"What is it that you want?" Midorima fixes his glasses and sends the blonde a guarded look. After a long and strenuous day, he just wanted to relax and do some homework. To see Kise and Aomine waiting by the gates has the last of his patience deteriorating.

Kise notices his friend's grumpy mood and flashes a smile, "I want to see Midochii's wife!"

"She isn't my wife."

"Well..." Ignoring the lackluster comment, Kise glances side to side, scanning the swarm of students leaving the school grounds. "Where is she?"

"I bet she isn't as hot as Tetsu's girlfriend," Aomine drawls out as he picks at his ear.

"S-She's attractive, nanodayo!" Midorima spits out with a blush on his cheeks.

"Oh? You sound really protective of her... That's a first," Aomine retorts.

A scowl mars the bespectacled boy's features.

"Awww, come on. Don't make that face," Kise pouts.

"I'm not making a face!"

"Woah, what's wrong, Midorima-senpai?" Your voice sends terror down his spine as they all spin around to face you. There's an innocence to your smile, but it shines nonetheless and causes his heart to pound harder.

Kise's eyes widen with wonder. "Woah, is this her?"

Midorima coughs, finally giving in to the two. "Yes, there she is. Was it worth the trip?"

"It wasn't exactly a trip... I had a photo shoot near the area, and then I invited Aominecchi when I saw him!" Kise explains as if it all wasn't a big deal.

You glance between the three of them, your eyebrows knotting together with confusion. "Umm... Midorima-senpai? Who are they?"

He's surprised that you haven't heard of his teammates from middle school but is quick to answer you. "They are my former teammates from middle school."

"Ah, I see! You must be very important to senpai then." You bow your head slightly. "I'm [Name], it's so nice to meet you."

"Senpai? How cute," Kise coos though it's clear that he's teasing the shooter. "Ne, ne, why don't you call him by his first name?"

"N-N-No way!" your cheeks sizzle at the thought. "I'm merely a marriage candidate--"

Midorima sighs loudly to silence you, but it was far too late. He's now become the butt of their jokes. "Bwahaha, of course they'd be a serious couple!!"

Aomine cracks a smirk, "Isn't it too soon for you to be thinking of marriage?"

"Next you'll be talking about children!" Kise chuckles.

Midorima growls, "Enough. We're heading home." He doesn't even bother with manners and grabs your hand to pull you away from the two.

Once you two are far enough down the road and out of sight, he lets go of your hand and fixes his glasses. "I apologize for their rude behavior."

You don't respond, and it unnerves him to the point where he feels the need to continue talking.

"They clearly don't understand the essence of relationships and the significance behind them."

Still no response.

"[Name]? Are... you doing well?"

You finally awaken from your stupor at the sound of your name. "Y-You held my hand!"

It takes him a moment to comprehend. "...I-- Yes." His face's color resembles that of a lobster. "Did you not enjoy it?"

You blush, "I did."

"G-Good."

A wolf-whistle follows suit and it's then that you both realize that you had been followed by his unique friends.

"They're progressing so quickly," Takao comments, adding himself onto the list of annoyances following the couple.

"TAKAO!"

"Oh hi, Takao," you wave, ignoring Midorima's fuming expression.

"They're so cuuuute!" Kise joins in as he too takes commemorative photos.

"GO AWAY! ALL OF YOU!"

Ahhh, the innocence of love...
