The Wondrous Adventures of Misfortune

Great Fortune

Midorima Shintarou has always known success in life. Throughout his basketball career in middle and high school, all the way through medical school, he's never failed even once. As a surgeon, he's well-known as one of the best and has never lost a patient. His fortune has always been great, ranking in the top 3 each day in the Oha Asa forecast (with few exceptions). Even so, his lucky item would never be far, raising his already impeccable fortune and luck even higher.

He mostly worked on scheduled surgeries in the hospital, but every few months he'd spend a week in the E.R. It was a favor for another E.R doctor, Kasamatsu Yukio. The two weren't friends, but they'd played against each other in high school basketball and the shorter male had earned the respect of the taller one. He was one of the very few people Midorima willingly spoke to outside of work.

Unfortunately for Midorima, this also meant he would get roped into going places with Kasamatsu and other colleagues from the E.R department.

"Midorima," The green-haired male turned and looked down to meet the eyes of the shorter male.

"What is it, Kasamatsu?" He was finishing up paperwork when the black-haired male approached him. He wasn't thrilled that he was being interrupted.

"Me and two of my friends are getting together tonight. We're going to go to a shrine before the E.R starts to get bad this season." He paused in his explanation to allow Midorima to process his words. A frown deepened on his face as he realized that he was about to be asked a question he didn't want to deal with. "Come with us, you will right? You said you would during your last E.R shift."

"I have no memory of agreeing to such a thing."

"It was during Wednesday night."

"You mean in the middle of my 27-hour shift? Was that before or after my only ½ hour break where I could only get 20 minutes of sleep?" Kasamatsu looked a little sheepish, but he still wasn't planning on backing down.

"Still, you agreed." Midorima sighed, but nodded his head and adjusted his glasses. He was caught since he would most definitely do something he'd said he would do. He might not have liked doing anything with people, but he wouldn't go back on his word.

"Very well, if I must go. However, do not attempt to get me to go out with you all again anytime soon."

"Great, come and find me after you get off your shift. You won't regret this!" Midorima wasn't excited about how his night was turning out and definitely didn't believe that last statement. However, he did find Kasamatsu once all his paperwork was completed. Kasamatsu and the other 2 doctors were already off work and waiting for Midorima to join them.

One doctor was a Pediatric doctor named Lila. The other was a neurological doctor named Leon. The two were married and loved to flaunt it. Much to Midorima's dismay, he was already were acquainted with them from back when the green-haired male first began to work at the E.R. He didn't particularly care for either of them and usually only was around them when he was talking with Kasamatsu.

Still, he was reminded once again that he had already agreed, so Midorima just climbed into his car as the others got into their own cars, with the married couple riding together. The couple was guiding the other two to the shrine. It was something that a patient had talked about. It wasn't too far from the hospital and wasn't too far from the actual roads they'd all take to go home. It was shocking that none of them had ever heard of the shrine before.
