Soft and Silent: Chapter 2: Midorima x OC

She dumped her bag onto the floor, the moss green colour directly contrasting with the marble white floor, and slumped into her seat, her feet nimbly twiddling in her cotton sandals freely. She was totally exhausted, the dark panda-like shadowy circles that encircled her eye like some kind of a new eye shadow was enough proof.

Sighing, she reached into her bag for her water bottle, twisting open the bottle cap without any hesitation. Just when she was about to raise the luminous green water bottle to her lips, the homeroom door slammed open with five figures standing at the door.

Almost immediately, she dropped her water bottle in astonishment, the water gushing out of the mouth and spilling all over the floor but she didn't care about it. All she could see was them in front of her. Him, actually, in particular. She wasn't afraid to admit it. She still missed him even after her breakup with him, but she knew that she had to move on somehow.

The mere thought of that scene she had seen was haunting her, nagging her about how she was a failure, and how pathetic and naïve she was to have thought this would have been her pure and innocent love stories like those that she used to read about in fairy tales.

"She wouldn't know about this would she?" The girl looked up at him worriedly, but he shook his head, replying with a kiss on the girl's lips to assure her that all her worries were unfounded. After his lips left hers, his lips turned upwards, a thing she had thought he would never do towards anyone else.

Hiding behind the bushes, she felt like she was the one who was invading on their relationship, like she was the one who was the third wheel, even though she knew exactly that that girl was the one who was intruding on their relationship but when she saw his smile, she knew something. Perhaps, their relationship had already gone stale after he had lost that basketball match.

She knew that deep down in his heart, he had blamed her for the loss of the match. The Daily Ohasa had said that people of her horoscope would bring bad luck to people of his horoscope that day, and yet, she had managed to persuade him after much pestering to allow her to go for the competition to watch him play. After all, she had went to watch all his previous matches and didn't want to miss one at all. And then, he had lost that fateful day.

Managing to clamp her hand onto her mouth, she controlled herself from making any sound at all that would interrupt the couple. Maybe... just maybe... this would all be a great big joke and that he would surprise her. But she knew that it was all real. At the end of it all, it was she who was just lying to herself about this entire relationship.

"We have brought Midorima back." Akashi stated emotionlessly, as he beckoned Aomine to carry out his command. Aomine stepped forward, pushing Midorima towards her. Kise turned away, tears in his eyes as Kuroko patted his back in an attempt of silent comfort.

Midorima stumbled before catching his balance and steadying himself in front of her, reverting back to his stone cold face that lacked emotion. His eyes glanced over her before his hand reached up, pushing his spectacles upwards and breaking that small little emotional thread he had left towards her. How could he love someone he hated so much for ruining his match? He had tried so many times that day to tell her that it was not possible but she had pestered him for so long that he had actually gave in to her request. Which kind of eventually led to his downfall.

She looked up at his face, mixed emotions in her, and then rose up from her chair, her chair rebelliously screeching against the smooth surface of the floor. Calmly, she walked slowly towards him before stopping beside him.

" I knew." she said, her voice almost coming out as a whisper, almost as if it was about to be carried off by the winds. Even she was shocked at how she sounded. How could she sound so vulnerable? So weak? So unlike her usual self which was bubbly and energetic.

His eyes widened, but he did not speak. The rest of the four figures stood there in silence, watching the entire scene. Their sheer presence had scared the rest of the class, almost mysteriously forcing everyone into silence, with everyone minding their business.

As the words left her lips, she felt an instantaneous course of relief rush through her, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart. Almost as quickly, she brushed past him, her steps picking up speed as she lightly tapped her feet onto the floor one by one before stopping to bend down to pick up her water bottle.

"Thanks though." she smiled towards the rest of the four figures, before exiting the homeroom in a light spirited way. She had gotten it off her chest, and now she felt almost nothing. Sure, there was still an ache, a feeling of emptiness and desolation, but she could feel herself heal, and she was going to need that.

-

Midorima stood still like a wooden block, still startled by her words. She had known all along. She had... and yet, she had endured it. The pain and suffering that you get when someone you love so much betrays you. She had tolerated it. She had known all along.

All along.

Turning around, he ran out of the class, flustered and in a frenzy, totally unlike his usual cold and calm demeanour. He wanted to apologise. To apologise for what he had did to her, and what he had put her through.

Actually, he knew that he couldn't bear to hurt her, because he loved her. And yet, he had used the most despicable method to hurt her and torture her.

So even if he had to spend his entire life searching for her, he was still going to find her, just to tell her one simple line.

" I'm sorry."
