Eat Me, Drink Me 26: Epic

 

“I-I can do this…” panted Midorima, using one of his hands to support his battered body in a standing position at the main gate of Shuutoku High. Absolutely no students were around him due to the late hour in the morning. He had barely made it in time to start 2 nd period in its beginning, after having gone through Hell throughout his once peaceful morning walks to school. “Yesterday… Haa… It was still an unknown… since I didn’t know… what to expect of bad luck applied to a school scenario… Haa… But today… I have all sorts of measures and fixes prepared for any type of eventualities!!”

Decisively, Midorima released the wall and crossed the main gate, his five senses hypersensitive to his surroundings as he carefully walked towards the building where the 2 nd year classrooms were placed. Out of nowhere, a football started going towards him at an impressive speed but the ever-ready Midorima simply skilfully crouched down his body, his arms wrapping around over his head in protection.

“Sorry, dude!” apologized a male student, dressed in his PE uniform. “I kicked the ball too har—“

“Heh… Hehehehehe!” started laughing Midorima, his shoulders shaking around just the slightest until he pushed his head out of its hiding location. “Today is the day! I may not have Oha Asa on my side but I will surely confess today! Hehehehehe!”

“Ah… A-Are you okay…?” hesitantly asked the other student, slowly taking a few steps back to put some distance between himself and the student laughing like a psychopath.

“Hmph!” Midorima readily got back up once again and adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, resuming with his walking towards his classroom.

The path was a strenuous one. Students almost crashing against him as they marathoned around the school grounds during their PE classes, the most varied objects that fell from the windows and threatened to impale or poison him (from pens and pencils to actual flasks filled with chemistries used in the labs), almost being thrown down a full lance of stairs when a passing-by teacher tripped and the tower of books being carried on his arms toppled down on top of him – walking from the main gate to the classroom had been turned into a mission classified as “S rank” in RPGs.

“But I prevailed…” softly mumbled Midorima as he stopped right in front of his classroom’s door. He took a deep breath and motioned his hand forward, strongly slamming the door open the quickest possible so he wouldn’t be too surprised by whatever was going to greet him from the other side. “I managed to reach the classroom alive!”

“Alive but late!!!” roared back the teacher currently teaching his subject on the front side of the classroom. “Take a seat quickly, Midorima, and do it silently, to not disrupt the class even further!”

“My apologies…” said Midorima, quickly adjusting his glasses as he shyly entered the classroom. He threw a quick sideways glance at Takao and saw him almost falling off of his desk as he clutched his mouth shut, his body trembling all over the place as he tried to contain his laughing attack well sealed inside of his mouth. There were even tears in the corner of his eyes. “He’s just too adorable, damn it…”

Out of the blue, a strong wind blew most of the windows of the classroom open, spreading the papers on top of the students’ desks all over the division and creating utter chaos between both students and teacher.

Then… it happened…

With the speed of a cannonball, a white shadow flew inside of the classroom through the means of the open windows, its trajectory straight to Midorima’s head, the tallest ‘thing’ inside of the classroom at that moment.

“UGH!!” groaned Midorima when a humongous white pigeon came crashing against his face, sending him to a painful fall with the back of his head against the hard tiles of the hallway’s floor.

“S-Shin-chan…!” yelped Takao, completely forgetting about his scattered studying materials and immediately running over to the fallen green Midorima. When he reached him, he quickly went to check the back of his head, fearing that the loud impact had actually managed to crack his skull open. “Shin-chan, are you okay!? S-Say something!”

“Ev…”

“What? Say it again, Shin-chan!” request Takao in a panicky state, shaking Midorima’s shoulders just the slightest to force him to continue conscious. “Don’t die on me, you hear me!? So repeat what you just said again!”

“Even birds… don’t want… me to confess to y…………………………………………” weakly mumbled Midorima as he sluggishly lifted one of his hands from the floor and motioned it towards Takao. He, however, lost consciousness before he could complete his sentence and his arm fell on the ground with a muffled thud before it could grasp its objective.

“Eh…?” softly interjected Takao, his body frozen stiff due to not understanding so many things that were happening all at the same time. “Ah! Wait, Shin-chan! Don’t pass out! Wake up! Dammit, you have to go to the infirmary ASAP and you’re too damn big and heavy for me to carry you bridal style! This is no time for you to go ‘Sleeping Beauty’ on me!! Wake! Up!”

Wake up and finish whatever you were about to say, for the love of god!!!!!

Life Update (or something along those lines)

  Hello, everyone. Mafy here!   As some of you might know, I've been having some health problems that have been affecting my usual writing schedule. I know it's an unavoidable situation, something that's totally out of my control but I still end up feeling like I'm just giving excuses for not doing something. Even if none of you feels or thinks that way, I still can't help but experience that guilty sensation.   That's why I feel I need to be a little bit more transparent and provide further explanations other than just saying "I'm sick so I can't update my stories as much as I want".   For around 4 years now, my health has been slowly but surely declining. What started as some occasional joint pain in my knees has become constant pain all over my body, mainly in my legs, back and arms.   On a good day, I'm in constant, although kind of bearable, pain.   On a bad day, which there has been a lot in these last 2-3 months or so, I'm in so ...

Give me one, I'll give you two. Give me two, I'll give you my everything.

“The biggest snowstorm of this decade hit Kyoto 1 hour ago and its damages are already clear. Both the Shinkansen and other railways have been cut, and it’s impossible to walk in the street due to the strength of the winds. We advise you to stay at home and only come out due to an emergency, such as going to the hospital.” Those were the pieces of advice that every single TV and radio station were announcing in the whole region of Kyoto. Akashi Seijuurou listened closely to all of them while he waited for an opportunity to try to connect his calls once again. Apparently, because of all the snow, the connections between cell phones were slower than usual and had a bigger probability of simply disconnecting all of a sudden. That was what happened 1 hour ago when the storm started and he was talking on the phone with Kuroko Tetsuya to know which the exact hour he would arrive at Kyoto was. He had tried several times to call him again, but the bad weather always ruined the connection o...
