"Shin-chan~!"Takao and (Name) exclaimed with a teasing tone. Midorima grunted in annoyance as he turned to the two.
(Name) and Takao were close friends despite only knowing each other for a few weeks. They knew each other since (Name) was the basketball team's manager in their school.
Midorima and (Name) weren't that close. However, Midorima noticed some things that on one else had. It was the look in her eyes that had a hint of....sadness.
Your eyes hold too many tears.
The passengers are hopelessness and heartbreak.
I can see you holding back the pain.
Those eyes that love to smile are not suited to looking sad.
"What?"Midorima grunted as Takao grinned. "Look at this!"Takao exclaimed as (Name) smiled at the sight.
(Name) looked at Midorima who's face remained expressionless but his eyes had a hint of annoyance. Despite Midorima's obsession for Oha Asa, which threw girls off, (Name) had developed a crush on him in the past few weeks.
He was attractive to her. Its not like she had never seen any other guy as attractive as him but what attracted her to him was his eyes. Even when he was annoyed at her and Takao there was always a certain warmth that comforted her in his grassy green eyes.
Your eyes have a unique warmth.
It's the tomorrow that can't be blown out.
I can feel the comfort that you're not putting to words.
It's more precious than what I've lost.
Midorima noticed (Name) silence and looked at her, immediately making eye contact. For a while they just stared, completely ignoring Takao's ranting. (Name) finally snapped out of it and looked away, blushing.
That was usually what people only noticed, a blush, However, Midorima noticed something else. Sadness in her lovely coloured orbs. He couldn't understand it. She was always smiling and her cheerfulness was annoying.
He could never guessed why there was sadness hiddened there...
Usually he would ignore something like that in a blind eye but he didn't. He felt like he needed to know her. Maybe it was because she understood him.
She was always there for him, She be with him when he would stay back to practice basketball at school. He could never understand her patience....
The rose in the palm. Unconsciously prickling the hand.
You deserve to be loved. You understand my hope.
Withering after the bloom. How many cycles it's been.
I'm (You're) here.
The past few days, Midorima noticed something. (Name) was more distant than usual and avoided the two first year duos. It was strange to look at Takao without (Name) next to him.
(Name) was scared. That strong anxiety in her scared her. She was scared that one day Takao and Midorima would leave her just like all her other friends.
They would all leave her like she was just trash. They would leave her once they saw the real her, a cheerful girl who annoyed the heck out of everyone.
She noticed how annoyed Midorima would get when she was around. She knew that Midorima would get over it like he usually did but she was still scared.
However, instead of her annoying Midorima, it was now him annoying her. She always faked a smile around him as if she was glad that he was there.
Why couldn't he see all the hints? She wanted to be alone. She didn't want him near him and yet she could feel that happiness inside her whenever he took the chance to be with her.
Her imperfections scared her and yet she never realised how Midorima felt about her imperfections, he found them so beautiful.
Your hidden rose. Your lovely fragrance.
It's the best you (you), accompanying me, hoping for me, accepting the world.
The other side of imperfection, how beautiful.
