Kuroko No Basket [Miracles And Love]

Midorima ~Graduation Day~

38. Midorima Shintarou
              ~Graduation Day~

You smiled at the green haired student standing before you. It was the third year students' graduation day and it was somehow weird not to see this certain student anymore in Shutoku High.

"Thank you for everything, [Lastname]-sensei.." Midorima bowed ninety degrees as a sign of respect and gratitude towards you. Coincidently, you have been his homeroom teacher and mentor for the last three years. Well, mentor to him, Takao and a few other students actually. But, this shard shooter stood brighter than the rest.

"Congratulations, Midorima-kun." Your smile grew wider at the blush forming on his cheeks. You are very aware that he is known as a tsundere. His hawk eyed friend has teased him many times enough to make you understand his behaviour. In addition, he has been your best and closest student.

A chuckle escaped your lips at the sight. "You haven't changed one bit since the day you started school here, Midorima-kun."

"I-It's not like those things matter, na-nanodayo!" He back away and hid his brighter shade of blush by pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

"Actually, I think it does. I hope to see you succeed at Tokyo university. Best of luck," you said, offering a hand for him to shake. You have always been formal with him. You are his teacher after all.

"Sensei.."

"Yes?"

"Wi-" He stopped. His eyes shifted from you to the space behind and even all around you as if he was rethinking what he was about to say.

"What is it?"

"It's nothing."

"I see."

"I'll be going now."

Midorima bowed one last time before turning his back towards you. As his steps grew further from you, the already empty staffroom became even heavier with silence. You could feel it in your heart. The loneliness was already heaving its parade in your life.

"Midorima-kun.."

His body froze. He took the longest moment ever to make sure that it was real. You were truly  wrapping your arms around his torso. Your face was buried in the back of his uniform.

It was sureal. It was unimaginable. He could feel your smaller frame against his back. His hands instinctively held your hands to see whether it was real or not. You could almost feel the pounding heartbeat in his chest.

He never thought that the day will come where his long time crush of forbidden feeling would embrace him like that. He restrained himself for so long. Those feelings that were not meant to arise just grew everyday.

"I guess the rumor about you liking older women is true, huh.."

You felt him flinch as soon as those words left your full pink lips.

"I-It's not like that, nanodayo."

"Then, turn around and tell me what it's really about." You released him from your embrace.

He hesitantly turned towards you. His emerald green eyes met your [eye colour] hues. You tilted your head to the side and smiled up at him.

"I-I.." he stuttered.

"Midorima-kun, I fell in love with one of my students," you confessed, looking down at the floor. Your own cheeks flushed red. "But, I knew it wouldn't be possible."

"I waited for years to-"

You didn't wait for him to finish. His body leaned forward abruptly when you pulled on the collar of his uniform. You went on your tippy toes and pressed your lips against his. He was so tall even when you were in your high heels.

His eyes widened in surprise. He felt his breath taken away from his lungs. The blush on his face grew even brighter.

But, feeling how sincere you were.. He smiled against the kiss. Kissing back, he wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you closer to him. The kiss was slow and soft yet neither of you wanted to back away. It was heated with passion, a feeling both of you hid all those years. Both of you could feel it.

He was reluctant to pull away even when his chest was burning, begging for air. His lips lingered against yours when you backed away as if his lips haven't had enough of you.

"I'm such a bad teacher for being like this towards my student," you said between pants. "But, I still love you, Midorima-kun."

"You may be so," he replied. "But, I'm no longer your student."

A smile graced your lips at that.

He leaned his face closer to yours once again.

"I love you, sensei.."

"Sensei!" A whole group of students invaded the staffroom.

"[Lastname]-sensei sure is popular with the students!" A fellow teacher commented.

"Hah? Shin-chan isn't here?" Takao exclaimed when he managed to squeeze his way through the crowd. "I thought he would be the first to be here!"

You just giggled at that and closed the drawer that contained the gift that Midorima gave earlier before the... Rather heated session happened.

"Hmm, Midorima-kun didn't come to say good-bye?" another students commented.

"It's okay. I'm sure we'll meet again. We all will!" You stood up from your seat and smiled at your students. All the female students teared up and gave you a group hug, making some teachers complain about how crowded it was in there.

Midorima was already on his way home. His pristine uniform was now wrinkled and his hair tousled all over the place. The memory of what happened in the staffroom made his head go all fuzzy. His facepalmed at the thought. The blush on his face was still intact.

How could he easily forget about it anyway?

He just made out with his favorite teacher slash crush for goodness sakes!

Maybe that memo in his pocket with your number on it will determine his relationship status with him.

Let us meet again..
And thank you for everything, Midorima-kun.

[Phone Number]

Plus, that lipstick mark on the memo will leave him blushing for the rest of his life.

Oh my gawdddd! My one shots writing skills are getting all rusty. I guess it's hard to shift from on POV to another so fast. I write most of my chapter for my Kise x OC book in third POV so, shifting to second POV all of the sudden is hard!!

It's Teacher's Day in Malaysia today so, I suddenly thought of this scenario. Sorry if Midorima is OOC though (╥﹏╥)

Anyway, have a nice day!
