Chapter Text
You have been a ballet dancer since you were a little 4 year old. Dancing was what you breath, live and eat. Not literally but mataphorically. Dance was your escape and hobby although you do take it seriously. You've won 2 national championships and 3 regionals. Many auditions and low key concert performances. You were talented at the least. Bare in mind many others have achieved just about what you have- however nationals is a hard one to grasp.
Some people know about your dancing. It's not really something you brag or talk much about. If someone asks, you answer. Simple. Being the manager of the schools basketball team doesn't bring up those sort of questions. More questions revolve around your crush on the ultimate tsundere miracle, mister Midoroma Shintaro. AKA carrot.
"Okay practice over boys. Good work!" Coach tells through the gym and leaving shortly after. All he boys head for the changing room and you try to quickly put everything away so you can rush to dance practice.
Grabbing your bags, you take you leave. Leaving the guys behind.
"Doesn't she always seems in a rush?" Takao pointed out.
"Hm. Yeah I never really took much notice." Midorima stated.
"Shut up and stop acting like you're not curious!"
"I'm not! She probably just has to be somewhere.."
"Now now, that's not how you dismiss your love Shin-chan" teases Takao whilst dragging him and the team to follow you.
You rush into the huge dance studio building and get changed in the changing rooms. Since its not a special occasion you wore a baggy t-shirt and dance shorts which are always used for ballet specifically, and then your dance shoes.
Midorima and the team walk into the building confused and dumbfounded on where to go.
"Hello? Is there something you need?" The receptionist asked.
"Hello. Um, is it possible to watch dance practices?" Takao bluntly States making Midorima roll his eyes at.
"Yes, any specific studio?"
"(Y/N)'s class..?" Takao drags out unknowingly.
"Um-hm studio 14. Take the stairs going up for the viewing area."
"Sweet! Thanks!" Takao beams and leads the way for the whole team.
When they were all settled int he room, you walked out to meet your dance team and greeted everyone as usual. When you came out Midorima became stupidly fidgety and uncomfortable.
You start your group dance/practice not knowing of who is in the viewing area. You lead the group with your pirouettes and turn-outs. You soar across the room with flying splits and ending with a grande jeté. And the music stops.
The team was silent and shocked with the unknown talent you had.
"Beautiful..." Midorima mumbles and Takao being the only one who heard it. Midorima immediately notices his words and coughs. Takao laughs and doesn't push it much.
After seeing your performance over and over again, getting increasingly fluent and smooth. Midorima knew today was the day to do it.
Practice was over and the receptionist asked for the team to leave the room- and they obliged. As they waited in the waiting area they conversed you and your dancing. Midorima being quiet and slightly blushing while listening.
Thinking it was a normal day you walked out of the studios feeling refreshed and ready to go home. Only to be greeted with chanting and shouting. The team was here the whole time. Flushed you stood still as the team surrounded you complimenting your dancing. Midorima being the odd-one-out.
"Woah (Y/N) you're amazing!"
"Show us more one day!!"
"You looked so peaceful!"
"So pretty!"
Midorima getting slightly jealous of the showing of compliments being thrown at you slowly walks out of the building. You notice this and leave after him with Takao telling the rest of the team to leave you two be.
"Mido-chan!!" You yell.
"What? Nanodayo can't I go home?!" Midorima stated.
"No. You can't. Where my praise?" You pouted jokingly.
"For what? I-it was nothing special nanodayo!"
"Cmon Mido-chan don't be a tsun tsun." You say teasingly hugging his waist.
Midorima hides his flushed cheeks silently as you softly retreat thinking you crossed a line.
Midorima seeing you slightly disturbed made him soften up slightly and he pulled you in for a hug. He needed your touch.
His hold was firm and tight but not rough. You relax and make your self comfortable in his arms while your heart beats faster. Midorima's heart quickens at the contact but doesn't pull away.
"Mido-chan?" You say.
"Y-yes (Y/N)-chan?"
"I-i like y-you. A lot." You say. Silence.
Feeling like you'll be rejected you pull away and look down.
"Fuck!" You heard Midorima curse.
"W-wha-"
"I was supposed to confess first." Midorima states, shocking you. He sighs, "I liked you since you began being our manager. N-nanodayo.."
Bewildered and suddenly yet small confident to get up on your toes to kiss his cheek. Midorimas already red cheeks flush harder and then, hesitantly, he places a kiss on your forehead.
Taking a deep breath Midorima asks that question.
"(Y/N), please be my girlfriend!" He says as he bows down at a 90 degree angle.
"P-please take care of me mido-ch-"
"Shintaro." He says standing straight with a soft smile on his face.
"Please take care of me Shin-chan."
