You were quite an academic student at your highschool, Shutoku. You worked hard and always saw pleasing results. Everything in class was normal, except there was one thing that stood out to you

Midorima was also very academic, he was an intelligent guy and a talented basketball player too. You never really spoke to him and that wasn't unusual. For one, he was pretty reserved but you noticed he could be quite cold and unfriendly. Even though you shared all of his classes, you were careful to stay out of his way

Something you hadn't noticed about him was the way he looked at you. How his usual frown would disappear and his expression would relax whenever he saw you. His heart would beat fast just sitting in the desk beside yours. And he always recalls an instance where your hands had brushed, the fluttering of butterflies filling his stomach. This boy had such a massive crush on you but he didn't know how to express how he felt

Yesterday you had stayed after class to finish some extra work. Everyone else was gone, the school was silent as you worked peacefully. Suddenly, the classroom door opened and Midorima entered, now wearing his training clothes. He approached your desk, placing a can of your favourite drink in front of you before leaving. It left you confused but you thought the gesture was sweet

When you saw him today, you were happy to approach him

You: Thank you for the drink yesterday

Midorima: It wasn't anything special

He answered coldly
