His Point of View
~~~~~~
Practice has just ended and the sun had already set. I took a shower before proceeding out the court.

"Taro-Taro." ...She's here.

She's really annoying whenever she calls me by that nickname.

"Don't call me that, nanodayo." I told her.

_______ ________. She is a schoolmate back in middle school. 16 years old. 160 cm. 49 kg. She has black rounded eyes and long black hair. She has a pale complexion. Lastly, she always annoys me.

"Let's go home?" she asked, pointing at the direction of the school gate.

......She's annoying. She always wear an unreadable expression on her face, just like Kuroko Tetsuya.

She started walking and I matched my phase with hers.

She is much more annoying today... This very day. How can she be so... forgetful?.. I stucked my hands on my pocket, checking if it was still there.... Good thing it is.

.. She's incredibly slow. That annoys me too.

"Taro-Taro..." she called out.

"What?"

".........I want to fly just like the birdie over there." she answered, pointing at the crow resting on a tree.

.....She also annoys me whenever she talk about useless things.

"That's impossible, nanodayo."

.."Oh.."....She then stared at the ground as if she was fighting tears from falling from her eyes...

It really annoys me whenever she gets upset easily. I don't know what to do!

"... I wish I'm a bird then." she finally said, smiling a little bit.

...She's annoying whenever she cheers up as fast as she gets upset.

We came to a stop when the stoplight went green.

...."Taro-Taro... The green spotlight color looks like you." she smiled.

.....She's annoying whenever she makes pointless comments.

"Green is cute... Don't you think?"

.....It's also annoying when she tries complimenting me.

I shifted my eyes on the road ahead of us. Talking to her annoys me.

The spotlight turned red and we continued walking.

The walk was a silent one.... It's annoying too.

"Hey, ______."

....No response. It's really annoying when she doesn't respond!

I glanced at my side----

She's not here.... I looked around, hoping to see the familiar black hair of hers...But to no avail, she's not somewhere nearby.

...This happens all the time. It really annoys me.

I walked towards a place nearby where I am sure she will end up to: The crane game in the arcade.

As expected, she was there. Her forehead's creased into a frown as she move the controls.

I walked towards her, looking at the machine she is using.

"What are you doing, nanodayo?" I asked.

"....Getting .... this.... carrot phone strap.. for Taro-Taro."

...I frowned.

It's annoying when she does things about me without consulting me.

"...Taro-Taro.. I got it." she said, grinning and handing over a phone strap with a small carrot wearing sunglasses as the design.

....I stared at it.

Her face fell... "You don't want it?"

....Tch. I grabbed the phone strap and turned around.. I can feel myself heating up... It's annoying.

I started to walk away from her but she easily caught up.

"I got myself a seaweed phone strap, Taro-Taro! We have a match!" she told me.

....Tch. That's annoying. I chose to ignore her.

"....Taro-Taro... Let's go to the park where we met..."

"...No. We're already late. Your parents will get worried, nanodayo."

"....It will just take five minutes."

I sighed. She's annoying.

"Please?" she pleaded.

"...Okay."

We walked in silence towards the park where I met the most annoying girl in the world.

~Flashback

Our court was closed. I have no choice but to use the court in the park.

I dribbled the ball before deciding to shoot it. I took my stance before shooting it...

And....

"Please watch out!" someone shouted on my back.

I turned my head around...

*BLagh.*

...I fell down on the ground with a loud thud.

I opened my eyes to see... a girl on top of me.

".....I'm sorry. I was using my long board when I hit a vase and lost balance."

VASE!? I stood up, hoisting her up im the process.

That vase is my lucky item!

.....It's... It's broken.. My luck...

"....I'm sorry... Here." she handed me a miniature vase that can be holded by a single hand.. It's more portable than my vase, I confess... "It's not as big as your vase... But it's my lucky item for today... Maybe it's your lucky item today too that's why you're also bringing a vase.... Well then. I'm sorry. Catch you later."

She simply bowed, leaving me shocked and confused at the same time.

~End

....."Here we are..." she said. "It's been two years.. Taro-Taro... You have changed a lot since you joined Shutoku... You are not a selfish asshole anymore."

.....It's also annoying when she suddenly says unexpected words.

"Watch your mouth, nanodayo." I scolded.

"No." she answered. "It's true.. You were an asshole."

"Who thought you that word!?" I asked, annoyed.

"....Kiki-kun." she answered.

....Kiki-kun...? That's Aomine... I forgot that they are in the same school.

"...Anyway... Taro-Taro.. Happy 2nd Anniversary...." she greeted, smiling.

....She did remember...

I adjusted my eyeglasses because I can feel my face heating up.. I must hide it.

"....I made cake for you... Suki-san helped me." she said, handing out a box.

....I am a little bit scared to eat it when she mentioned Momoi helping.

"....Thank you."I muttered. I took the box from her hands. It is the thought that counts after all.

....It's really annoying when she does this.

"....I also bought a pack of bandages for your hand." she held out a small paperbag.

...I sweat dropped, taking the paperbag from her hand.

"...Just kidding. It's a bracelet. Kiki-kun helped me pick."

....That's annoying.

"Stop hanging out with Aomine."

"....Why?"

....She's right.. Why...?... Am.. I envious of Aomine...?... Impossible!

"..N-n-nothing, nanodayo!" I exclaimed, adjusting my eyeglasses. "Anyway, Happy 2nd year."

I reached out for the box in my pocket and handed it to her.

....Her eyes gleamed as she reached for it.

"I am so happy, Taro-Taro." she said, smiling.

She opened the box to find a locket...

"Takao w-was t-he one who p-picked t-that!." I stammered.

....I lied. Not like I will tell her that.

Tsk. She's not saying anything! I shifted my glance away from her.... That grass seems interesting.

This is annoying.

She opened the locket to find the picture we had on our 1st anniversary.

..This gift is too.... sweet. It's annoying!

"....Taro..Taro... Thank you!" and with that she grinned, closimg her eyes. Tears are on the verge of falling from the side of her eyes.

....She's just too beautiful... It's annoying.

...Not like I would tell her that.

"...Let's go home?" she asked.

...How she can be anticlimactic is annoying.

I pulled her closer to me and gave her a long kiss.

....I let go of her and started to walk away from her.

"I....I LOVE YOU SHINTARO MIDORIMA!" ..she shouted.

"S-STUPID!" I shouted back, turning red.
