Konnichiwa, new follower here! I followed after reading your Akashi's ideal girlfriend reply, so, can I ask the same for Midorima? Interview said that Midorima likes older elegant girls and I have my hc that a girl kinda just kinda resembles Bakao would be great for him. Like you know, Midorima does put up with bakao after all
Hi dear new follower! Obviously I can, ask everything you want! Even because, honestly, MidoTaka is my favorite ship concerning Midorima and so, I agree with your reasoning. I’ve read in the interview that he likes older girls and…well, this eccentric OC popped up! I hope you enjoy her, this is what I picture when I think of his ideal girlfriend.
-she has a curvy, but toned body; straight black hair, she usually wears a ponytail. Narrow, catlike eyes and a smirk always present on his full lips. She moves like a dancer, has a suave and loud voice and enjoys feeling pretty. She wears what gives her a mature, but bold appeal and has a soft spot for lip-glosses.
-She’s an enthusiastic girl, with a bubbling personality; she loves teasing others, especially the emotionless or stiff ones. Energetic, hardworking and stubborn. Always in search of fun, new experiences and things to discover. However, she’s human like everyone else and so she’s her own weaknesses and insecurities: she looks for stability and certainty in other people, since she’s frequent mood swings; she is always afraid of being…excessive or annoying, but never says it directly. The fact that she jokes continuously, makes it difficult to understand when she’s serious, nervous and worried or when she’s simply being melodramatic and ironic. It’s as if she speaks by allusions, waiting for the other person to interpret and then reassure her. Due to her role, she’s also very diligent about her responsibilities and has all the qualities that make her a good leader.
-She’s the third-year leader of the Shuutako Cheerleading Team. Her passion is inspiring and supporting the athletes so they can do their best and achieve winning, feeling someone pushing their backs. She’s very popular at school, especially between the first-years, but has few close friends since she can be hard to deal with.
-She encountered Midorima during his first year. At first, she was feeling…dejected about the new, formidable player who seemed to attract all the spotlight on himself. She didn’t feel like cheering on him: he was a genius, he didn’t need it and just ruined the best part of basketball. However, seeing him playing, she started to change her mind, being attracted by his coolness, his calmness during the perfect shots…there was something magnetizing in his perseverance, in his self-confidence. Everything changed the day she had to stay at school longer than usual, to work on a particular difficult cheer, and ended up passing by the basketball’s gym; there, she found Midorima practicing without break, alone; he had fire burning in his eyes, focusing only on the ball and trying to perfect a movement that for her was already flawless. She remained awe-struck, she thought guy like him didn’t need to work hard, to sweat and fail, but she was wrong. Something inside her awoke and from that day she started to pay even more attention to him, noticing how serious and collected he seemed to be, but also all the different expressions sometimes his teammate could make him show…She wanted to see more, to discover more of what that guy hid inside of himself. So, she started ambushing him after practice. At first, Midorima was damn startled by that boisterous third-year, jumped out of nowhere, chirping about cheerleading and basketball and teasing him continuously, and he hoped for her to disappear and leave him alone. Unfortunately, she made acquaintance with Takao and the two, bonding immediately, formed the “How To Exasperate Shin-chan Club”. Her presence became a constant in his life: during lunch, she would kidnap the two of them, after practice she would stay back with them cheering loudly to put his patience to the test, during matches her voice would became the only one he could recognize. She was like a tornado, swirling into his life without escape. And, at some point, Midorima started to find stupidly cute the way her eyes enlightened when he showed an exaggerated reaction to her teasing, worth of praise the way she guided her cheering team like soldiers on the battlefield, sweet her smile when excitedly commenting his match afterwards. Midorima learnt to distinguish her genuine smile and the insecure, nervous ones; he searched relief from stress and pressure in her carefree enthusiasm. Before he could realize, he longed to hear her calling “Shin-chan!” while throwing her arms around his waist to see him blush.
-It takes them a bit to get together: she can never muster the courage to be direct, he just thinks that’s impossible. Thanks God, Takao is there to be the Cupid they need.
-Even after she graduates, she still comes to all the matches and cheers louder than everyone, much to his embarrassment.
-She loves to be cheesy and flirty just to see him stiffening and blushing. With time, though, Midorima builds up a good resistance to her and learns to tease her in his own way.
-Midorima rarely takes the initiative, since she does it for three people’s worth, but he’s very sensitive to her mood’s changes. When he realizes that she’s unsure or is trying to understand if she had exaggerated, he takes the first step and make sure she doesn’t doubt it anymore. He has enough patience for both.
-She likes to play the role of the older, mature woman that has to be respected and treats Midorima like he was a child. He always scolds, reminding her that first, he’s taller; second, with her personality she’s even more childish than him: she had lost the right to be respected when she burst crying because he didn't want to buy a cat.
-After they start dating, Midorima begins bringing her everyday her lucky item. Even if she had mercilessly mocked him for that from the start, she collects and keeps all of them. If someone touches her precious gifts, she become a beast.
-She’s the big, funny sister of Shuutako who spoils the first-years and mocks the older ones. Everyone love when she comes because Midorima softens and lets them breathe. (I have this head canon that Midorima is going to grow enough to be Captain in his third-year. A terrifyingly strict captain, balanced by his vice Takao)
-She gets along very well with Akashi and Midorima still doesn’t understand how the heck it’s possible
-Midorima had dunked only once in his life and only because she threw a tantrum about it. After he did it, she whistled saying “That was really sexy Shin-chan!” but then jumped in his arms laughing and added “But I prefer your cool three-point shots more!”
-One day, they were at the park for a walk but Midorima found a ball and an empty basketball court. He couldn’t resist and started trying few shots. She, pouting, decided to test his reactions and let some guys, wandering near, approach her. In less than a minute, the ball hit perfectly the head of one of the boys, followed by the too tall green-haired boyfriend. “I’m sorry.” Midorima threatened fixing his glasses and trying to murder them with a glare. She immediately burst into laughter, exclaiming, “You’re so jealous Shin-chan!” and kissing him on the spot. He growled, understanding she had played him again, but grabbed her either way by the wrist and dragged her far away from the bunch of astonished, terrified guys.
-Sometimes, they go to a basketball court and Midorima teaches her how to shot. It’s one of the few moments she blushes deeply and can’t calm down, being caught in his arms from behind and his low, cold voice whispering what to do in her ear.
-She has a soft spot for Midorima without his glasses and with hair combed back, she finds it really hot, so she frequently steals them. Little she knows that Midorima finds her wearing his glasses even sexier.
-Midorima secretly loves the quiet, serious and focused look that she unconsciously shows from time to time; for example, when she’s studying or when she’s reading a book in silence. It’s a rare sight, but he always catches and enjoys it.
-The number of sighs and defeated groans Midorima emits in her smirking presence can only balance with the number of faint, quick smiles he shows.
-She never stops moving, is hyperactive, so Midorima has to literally cage her against his chest to read his book peacefully. And being hold by him, it’s the only thing that calms her down probably.
-For pure luck, they’re going to study at the same university, even if with different majors. Thanks to that, she manages convincing him to live together in a shared apartment, much to his precocious ageing. Or, at least this is what he says, the truth is that the two years’ difference has always been something difficult to deal with for them.
-When they argue, she likes to take Midorima’s lucky item of the day and break it in front of his eyes, with a big, menacing smile plastered on her lips. Or, she stuffs his pillow with Natto. Midorima instead, just chooses the most impenetrable silence and avoids any kind of physical contact. That’s why she’s usually the first to apologize.
-She gets drunk easily and, in those cases, she can become really annoying or very whining; either way, Midorima just picks her up, throwing her on his shoulder, and bring her home scolding her during all the way back.
-Midorima starts to play the piano again only to listen to her singing.
-She cooks, he does the chores. It’s an established rule for survival.
-Midorima’s younger sister loves her. They build a strong bond and, when together, mess so much with Midorima that he usually tries to escape to Takao’s house. Everything fails when his best friends just joins the two devils and collaborate to his destruction.
-They call each other by their given names only in the most intimate moments, otherwise she calls him “Shin-chan” and he still uses her surname.
