Midorima was walking through the hallways of the school grounds, passing through students as he walks along. He pushes up his glasses to the bridge of his nose with his taped fingers as the noise of the crowd entered his ears.

Promenade was around the corner, it was everybody's topic. He wasn't actually interested and he didn't want to attend the event, but he cannot afford to ditch. Midorima was an uptight guy after all.

His nature green eyes glanced through the hallways as it stopped on one person who was walking in the same path that he is. It was none other than the school's queen bee, [Last name] [First name].

Indeed, he was captivated by your charms, though he wouldn't admit it personally. He would just keep this one-sided love that he has for you.

It's her hair and her eyes today

That just simply take me away

And the feeling that I'm falling further in love

Makes me shiver but in a good way

"Shin-chan!" A familiar, boisterous voice boomed throughout the place as this person run towards him. "What are you doing? Classes are about to start!"

"Takao..." He snapped out from his thoughts as he turned around to see you walking away with your groups of friends.

"I know, nanodayo." He replied as his black haired friend, Takao, walked along with him and they headed to their classroom.

All the times that I have sat and stared

As she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair

And she purses her lips

Bats her eyes as she plays with me

Sitting their slackened jaw with nothing to say

Midorima was sitting on the chair next to you in the class, he would often notice you plucking a strand of your hair and pushing it behind your ear as you would purse your lips and would time to time bats your eyes with him and play a little harmless prank. There were also times that you would say nothing and slack your jaw.

You didn't noticed but he was head-over-heels for you, who wouldn't be? You're beautiful, smart, rich and popular. You were every guy's ideal and dream girl.

Whilst, he was looking at you in the corner of his eyes in complete silence, he can't help but admire your beauty. His admiration for you was interrupted when the school bell rings as it was already lunch time.

"It's already lunch, Shin-chan! Let's eat." Takao stated as he was sitting behind Midorima's chair. "Let's go straight to the cafeteria."

Though it seems like the green head can't hear his friend's words as his eyes were focused on you, noticing his passionate gaze, you turned around and flashed him a smile.

Coz I love her with all that I am

And my voice shakes along with my hands

Coz she's all that I see and she's all that I need

And I'm out of my league once again

Warmth spread across the young boy's cheeks upon seeing you smile at him, then you walked out of the classroom with your group of friends, leaving him in a blushing mess.

"Oh, so you have a crush on [Last name]-san, huh. . . ?"

"I don't have a crush on her, nanodayo!"

"Shin-chan, you are so obvious. You are staring at her so intensely and you blushed when she smiled at you~!"

Midorima just shrugged off Takao's bickering as he exited the classroom and walked towards the canteen, leaving his friend behind.

"Admit it, Shin-chan, you liiiike her." Takao rolled his tongue as he kept teasing the tsundere carrot.

"I do not, nanodayo." The green haired lad pushed up his glasses as they were lining up to buy lunch.

After buying lunch, they took a seat nearby the window as they began to eat their ordered food.

Takao took a sip on his drink. "Say, Shin-chan. . . do you have a date for the promenade?"

"I don't have," Midorima replied as he took a bite on his apple. "It's not required to have a date anyway."

"It's just unlike you to go there, I would've thought you will ditch it." The black haired male stated, nibbling with the straw.

"I can't, it's still a school event. Whether I like it or not, I can't ditch." The green haired male said as he heaved out a sigh.

Once they were done eating, they began walking through the school hallways as Takao would shoot up some random topic and Midorima would reply time to time.

Promenade, huh? The green head thought as his mind wandered off. He's going to rent a suit and tie later for the upcoming school event.

It's a masterful melody

When she calls out my name to me

As the world spins around her

She laughs, rolls her eyes and I feel like I'm falling

But it's no surprise

"Shintaro!" A familiar voice called which made Midorima turned his head around and he swears that his heart stopped beating for a moment.

You were calling out for his name. Running towards him with a smile on your face. He raised his hand and was about to wave at you with his cheeks burning red, when you run passed him towards another guy.

He turned around and saw you talking to a guy that he doesn't know, you interacted with him happily as the other guy also smiled back at you. The two of you had a different aura, it seems to him like...the two of you were dating.

And Midorima hadn't been right.

Coz I love her with all that I am

And my voice shakes along with my hands

Cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea

But I'd rather be here than on land

Yes, she's all that I see and she's all that I need

And I'm out of my league once again

"That's [random last name] Shintaro. [Last name]'s boyfriend." Takao informed his green head friend as he pats his arm with a lonesome feeling.

"They've been dating for [number] months now. But it could be indeed confusing since the two of you had the same first name." He added.

[Random last name] Shintaro. Midorima thought as he stared at the two of you.

He saw you smiling so happily and laughing at the jokes that your boyfriend would make, you were happy with him. His lips curved into a sad smile as he walked away with Takao tagging behind him.

"Shin-chan! Wait for me!" The black haired boy whined as his voice reached your earshot, making you turned around to see Midorima and Takao walking away.

"Babe? What's wrong?" Your boyfriend snapped you out from your thoughts as you turned around and flashed him a smile.

"No, it's nothing." You replied before turning all of your attention at him.

❍❍❍

Days has passed by as it was already the promenade night, Midorima was in his room, fixing his suit and tie properly. He looked at his reflection in the mirror and he was indeed dashing. He was wearing a black suit, underneath was a white polo and a red flashy tie, a branded shoes and his green hair was prepped and slicked back, he decided to remove his glasses and wear contacts just for the night.

Anyone who knows him could tell that he was gung-ho despite having a lack of interest in the event, but he would see you there, he wanted to look a bit good for you.

His lucky item for today was a red rose, he bought one at a flower shop nearby and headed to Shutoku High in where the event will proceed, holding a single flower in hand.

It's her hair and her eyes today

That just simply take me away

And the feeling that I'm falling further in love

Makes me shiver but in a good way

He saw lots of familiar faces in the party hall as all of his classmates and batch mates were wearing fancy suit and dresses, they'd outdid themselves for the promenade night.

The chilly air-conditioned slapped against his skin as laughters and chatter could be heard throughout the place, indeed it was lively. There was a fancy music playing and a catering table filled with delicious delicates.

There were tons of lights illuminating in the room as he was looking for a certain someone in this crowd, a rose in a daisies garden. After turning left to right and vice-versa, checking girl after girl, he finally found the one.

He finally found you.

Across the room, you stood there confidentially with a group of friends circling around you. A smile gracing on your lips as you wore a fancy [color] dress, a pair of stilettos supporting your feet, you were also wearing make up. A ounce of foundation, mascara on your eyelids, wearing a branded colored lip balm to avoid occurring chapped lips, a little blush on your cheeks and your hair was prepped into a [hairstyle].

You look so beautiful in that dress of yours, Midorima can't take his eyes away from you no matter how much he tries to look away. You caught his entire attention in dressing up.

All the times I have sat and stare

As she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair

And she purses her lips

Bats her eyes as she plays with me

Sitting their slackened jaw with nothing to say

The dashing young green haired man walked towards you across the hall, he gave you his lucky item, the rose as a present. Your heart skipped a beat upon seeing him as you took the single flower from his hands.

"Thank you," You answered honestly with gratitude and gazed on the rose.

A rose's rarest essence lives in the thorn. A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom. Do not watch the petals fall from the rose with sadness, know that, like life, things sometimes must fade, before they can bloom again.

The rose is a flower of love.

"How pretty," You said and smiled at the simple thing as a rose.

"B-But you're more prettier." Looking up, you saw the green head blushing furiously, too engrossed by this.

"Oh, is that so? Thanks." You smiled at him yet again. You were used in getting showered by compliments, but this was different.

Silence bestowed the both of you, it wasn't awkward, it was just silent. Not until Midorima started to break the ice by extending his hand towards you.

"Can I have a dance, my lady?"

Your heart began raising as you nodded and held his hand, he held it lovingly and flashed you a smile. He led you in the middle of the hall and you positioned your free hand on his shoulder blade as he did the same to your waist, one of your hands held his free hand and the music began playing as you danced with him.

Coz I love her with all that I am

And my voice shakes along with my hands

Cause it's frightening to be swimming in a strange sea

But I'd rather be here than on land

Yes, she's all that I see and she's all that I need

And I'm out of my league once again

Midorima took the lead as you were dancing along with him, the two of you locked eyes and had a slow dance, he was lost while staring in the depths of your eyes.

While dancing with you, he realized that his friend was right, he had a crush on you. But it was more deeper than that. He was in love with you. And he fell hard.

The music was about to end and so is the dance, but before that could happen, he slowly leaned towards you as your heart began to race, you blushed furiously in how close his face is towards yours.

He's going to kiss you.

That's what you thought. Before your lips could make an contact, he smirks at you and leaned back after the last tune of the music ended. Then he left you alone in the middle of the hall and he suddenly disappeared.

"Wait—" He was already gone when you spoke, your group friends circled around you once again as your eyes began searching for green.

Though, much to your dismay, you didn't found him the rest of the night.

❍❍❍

The night passed as it was already morning and you were at school early, holding a rose on your hand, Midorima easily spotted you.

You noticed him staring at you as you turned around and he blushed when you looked in his way, you recognized his face and he realized this so he turned around and walked away before you could even approach him.

He's the guy last night. You thought as you walked towards him while holding the rose.

He was walking fast as you had to sprint across the hallway, you extended your hand towards him. When you were about to tap his shoulder, someone grabbed your other arm and pulled you towards him.

It was Shintaro, your boyfriend. Not Midorima, but your actual boyfriend.

From the force that he did, you accidentally dropped the rose from your hand and it was soon forgotten.

He wrapped around his arm on your shoulder and took you somewhere else in the campus, forcing you to just look at him. Before the two of you could go, you glanced at Midorima one last time and left with your boyfriend.

Midorima turned around to see you not chasing him anymore, you were with someone else. Who does he think he is? Why did he thought that you would chase after him? He doesn't know, he must've been getting all delusional and crazy.

Words have left unspoken as the rose was forgotten, the chance between you two instantly crashed.

"There is no way that she'll love me back like I did..."
