ta-dah~

guess who's back from the dead

---

The first thing that Midorima noticed was that his head was pounding and that there were a lot of voices that was making the pounding hurt even more than it did. He blinked the sleepiness out of his eyes before blindly searching for his glasses. He found them 2 minutes later and put them on. He became even more confused when he saw that he was in a white room. He looked around the room some more and realized that he was in the hospital.

'How did I get here?' he thought.

The door to the room creaked open a little and the piercing made his head pound even more. He brought his right hand to his head hoping to ease the pain. He looked up and saw the faces of his parents and his younger sister. His parents sighed in relief while his sister had turned on the water works.

"Shina, what's wrong?"

The little girl jumped down from her mother's arms and ran straight for her brother. Midorima confusedly wrapped his arms around his sister and rubbing at her back to calm her down, while looking at his parents for some help. His parents walked towards him and sat next to him on the bed. His mother leaned forward and placed her hand on his cheek.

"Shintaro, do you remember what happened?"

Midorima shook his head and just stared at his parents. They both hitched their breaths and glanced at each other before his father spoke to him.

"Son, can you speak at all right now?"

Midorima opened his mouth, but no words were coming out. He closed his mouth and cleared his throat before he tried again.

"Of course, nanodayo!!!" His voice sounded horrid

His dad breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, that's good. Anyway, you really don't remember what happened to you?"

Midorima raised his eyebrows before pouting a bit and thinking. Then his eyes widened in realization. "What happened to the team? Are they alright? What about Takao? Did anyone else get hurt? What happened? Why am I here and not at the game?"

The machines that were connected to the green-haired male started going haywire and the adults tried to calm their son down so that they could explain what happened after he was taken to the hospital.

"Shintaro, you must listen to what we have to say. You must also stay calm, if not then the nurses will be here to sedate you cause you're losing it right after you wake up. I know that this is really confusing to you, but you have to stay calm so that we can explain it to you."

The boy nodded and took deep breaths to calm himself before looking at his parents again. His mom looked at him again, but this time with tears in her eyes.

"It was just a really scary experience because one second I see my baby trying to grab the basketball and in the next second he's on the ground with injuries and blood around him. It was terrible and Shina...she managed to escape from my arms and run down to the court to you. She was so upset and confused. She had never seen you go down so easily during a match. She was begging you to get up and keep playing. Takao managed to stop her before she reached you but she was terribly upset with him for stopping her. Your father eventually got to you and the other kids got to the court. They said that you had to be taken to the hospital for an extensive evaluation. However, no parent would want to see their child lying vulnerably on a hospital bed with bandages on him. With the thought of when he would wake up going through your head. That's something that should never happen"

Both parents leaned in to hug their only son, happy that he was alright.

"Speaking of Takao....he's outside do you wanna see him?"

Midorima lit up like a tree but quickly went back to his usual face and nodded his head. His father shook his head while his mother giggled into her hand and took her daughter from her son and walked to the door.

"We'll go out and get him"

"Make sure that he puts a ring on it son!!!"

Midorima's face flushed the same color as blood or maybe even darker before he huffed and turned away from the door. By the time that the door opened a second time, Midorima had managed to calm himself and his face was back to its original color.

"Shin-chan"

Midorima looked toward the voice that was calling to him and saw his boyfriend standing by the door hesitantly. He smiled and gestured the raven to go and sit next to him on the bed. The raven obliged and went to sit next to him on the bed.

Takao sighed and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend and kissing him on the head.

“How do you feel?”

“I’ve seen better days”

“That’s good”

The conversation died out and the two sat in silence. One in a calming way, the other in a nervous way. Takao fiddled with his hands and then his boyfriend’s hands. He got annoyed at it and then fiddled with the box in his pocket. He decided to fuck it and wing it already.

“Shin-chan...”

“Hmm??”

“Can I ask you something?”

“What is it??”

Takao took a deep breath and stood up from the bed and got down on one knee as he pulled the box from his pocket. He opened it to reveal a diamond studded ring with an emerald diamond in the middle. Midorima stared at his boyfriend before his mind finally caught up and he stared at his boyfriend some more before the tears were spilling out of his eyes. Takao smiled and took his boyfriend’s left hand.

"Shin-chan, I love you so much. So much that I would be willing to do anything and everything for you. In that game, seeing you get hurt. It tore me up. I wanted to go to you and make sure that you were alright, but I needed to be strong for Shina-chan. I realized then and even before then, that I didn’t want to lose you ever. So, will you do me the extreme honor of becoming my wife?"

"You fool!!! Of course my answer is obviously going to be yes"

Takao blinked and smiled as he slipped the ring onto his boyfriend's finger and stood up to place a happy kiss on his lips. When they broke for air, they leaned their foreheads against each other and smiled while wishing that time would stop and that they would be there forever in the moment...It won't happen though cause they're basketball players and Takao had just proposed to the most innocent and oblivious one of all, especially when the said person has 6 overprotective people watching over him like he was a princess.

“You stupid bird!!!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!!”

The newly engaged couple turned to look at the multitude of people standing by the door, especially 6 rainbow-haired people. The couple looked at them in shock before Takao broke out of his stupor and looked at them.

“Was I supposed to ask you guys for permission?”

"Yes. Midorima-kun is considered the princess of the Miragen after all"

"KUROKO!!!!! I AM NOT A PRINCESS NANODAYO!!!!!!!"

"YES YOU ARE!!!!!"

The multitude of basketball players and parents congratulated the couple on their engagement. The rainbow haired players forever teased the green-haired megane princess about the engagement before the conversations started flying all over the place about other people getting engaged. That night, however, the people present in the room had learned one very important thing: HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE AKASHI'S FATHER WHEN HE LEARNED THAT HIS ONLY CHILD WAS BETROTHED TO THE EX-DELINQUENT AND EX-CAPTAIN OF THE TEIKO MIDDLE SCHOOL BASKETBALL CLUB.
