[tsunverde]

You were probably worried about something pointless.

[redoubles]

[ There's a long pause before Kise's next message comes. ]

You're right, it was something stupid. Never mind.

[tsunverde]

[Kise's agreement is unsettling.]

You'll only show your further stupidity if you allow it to continue to bother you.

["Don't worry too much" in Midorima-speak?]

[redoubles]

Who said it was still bothering me? I'm totally fine now!

[tsunverde]

Then I should be concerned about how often you want to throw me in the ocean and make me suffer when that's how you act when you feel "totally fine" towards someone?

[redoubles]

Not you, just Akashicchi! I'm used to you being mean to me, if you weren't, I'd think you were sick or something.

[tsunverde]

That sounds like it's still bothering you.

[redoubles]

That's because Akashicchi's still being a jerk!
...more of a jerk than usual.

[tsunverde]

Have you told him he's upset you or is this the one time you've managed to keep a thought from spilling out the minute you had it?

[redoubles]

I yelled at him a lot, he knows.

[tsunverde]

[Should he...

No.

Yes, he has to ask.]

How did he take the shouting?

[Any strange threats?]

[redoubles]

He did his I AM ABSOLUTE AND ALWAYS RIGHT thing
but he didn't try to stab me or anything
he was just his stupid, idiot self
I don't know what I was expecting

[ Of course he knows what he was expecting. For Akashi to treat him like a friend. It was just stupid to expect that. ]

[tsunverde]

Then adjust your expectations.

[redoubles]

I know, I know. He's just been acting kind of different since we got here.
I guess we all have.

[tsunverde]

It's a logical outcome. We have to find new things to focus our attention on without basketball. This setting places new stresses on us. And so on.

[redoubles]

I know all of that!
That's just... why I thought maybe I could expect more from Akashicchi.

[tsunverde]

Do you expect more from me?

[tsunverde]

[Frantically typed out as soon as he hits send and realizes he may have just invited discussion of his sex life.]

In terms of personality. Nothing more.

[redoubles]

You're already nice to me when it matters.

[ He's just not gonna specify if he's talking about personality or sex here, Midorima deserves that. ]

[tsunverde]

I'll have to work on that.

[redoubles]

Then I'll definitely expect you to be nicer to me more often!

[tsunverde]

That wasn't the direction I meant.

[redoubles]

Too late, now I'm expecting it!
You should make me breakfast tomorrow! Breakfast in bed!

[tsunverde]

[He really trusts his cooking?]

If you would like that breakfast dumped on your head.

[This is what he gets for showing any sympathy.]

[redoubles]

[ Hey, breakfast in bed is breakfast in bed. If the food's bad, he can just whine about it. ]

Don't worry, when you say things like that, I know you mean "yes, Kise, I'd love to spend the day with you." ;)
