Congratulations on your graduation,

Congratulations on your graduation, Midorima."

He startled to hear that voice. Low and deep, but have its unique high pinch. He turned his back, and faced Akashi Seijuurou who was standing behind him.

"Congratulations for you too Akashi, what are you doing here?"

Akashi chuckled. No one expect Midorima ever heard this cute chuckle of Akashi Seijuurou. Class 3-3's classroom have been empty since fifteen minutes ago, left Midorima behind all alone―and now with the unexpected guest from Kyoto.

"To have a rendezvous reunion with you, I guess?"

He rolled his eyes, as if he's not amused, but Midorima's lips was curving, a little. He knows, Akashi is bad at joking, but now, his ex-captain still trying to make silly joke although it won't suit his serious and assertive image.

"Oh, I feel honored, but it's not really necessary, because both of us will meet again in Tokyo University, right? Or, are you still trying to make joke to unfreeze situation, nanodayo?"

Akashi stared at him as if he was analyzing, who is this person (Midorima never babble stuffs this much, something must be wrong)

"I-It's not like I remember your blind spot of humor! It's just―I found it not funny at all. Can't laugh upon it, nanodayo." Flustered in red, Midorima put up his glasses with his usual gesture.

Oh, he's shy.

Midorima cleared his throat, "Anyway, seriously, what kind of urgent necessity that make you showed up here, in Shuutoku after a long trip from Kyoto? I though you're too tired and feel like going home to take a rest? After all, it has been three years you were away from home."

Finally, after Akashi spent his precious three minutes to watch Midorima put up his un-saggy galsses, the green haired boy spoke.
