Summary: “So what are your all plans for the big night, huh?” Kise eyed the three of them, and waggled his well-shaped brows. “With your lovers, I mean.”

It’s Christmas Eve, the most popular date night of the year in Japan. Kuroko is going to Disneyland with Kagami. Akashi has a special plan in mind for his date with Furihata, but he won’t tell anyone what it is. Kise has no plans at all, but ends up at a certain former captain’s apartment anyway. Aomine and Momoi spend a friendly night in, as usual, and Murasakibara is bribed with cake.

Meanwhile Midorima is telling anyone who will listen (and also those who won’t) that he does not have romantic plans of any kind, whatsoever, even though Takao did ask to see him but it does not mean that, no, absolutely not.

…

A/N: IT’S THE MIDOTAKA CHAPTER. <3 I’m so happy I can finally share the last part of this story! This chapter is the longest of the six, and it’s filled with a ton of my favorite things about MidoTaka (and KnB in general, in a lot of ways). I’ve had some of these ideas in my head for a long time, so I’m glad I was finally able to write them down. And it feels like a fitting story to start the new year, too.

Fair warning, this chapter is also the steamiest… I couldn’t keep these two away from each other, apparently? //laughs It still fits squarely in the T/PG-13 rating, though. Enjoy, and happy New Year, everyone! <3

…

Midorima Shintarou wasn’t nervous. Because he wasn’t going on a date.

He wasn’t excited, either, or any other related frame of mind… True, he kept checking the clock on his desk, often enough that it seemed like the minutes were ticking by in slow motion. And true, he had reloaded the weather report on his phone too many times to count. Which was why he kept changing clothes. First a long coat, which he later switched to a sweater, and then he tried to add a jacket but the result was too bulky so he had to start the entire process all over again.

It was purely because of the weather, though. Not for any other possible reason. Absolutely not.

Keep reading on Ao3!
