[tsunverde]

It doesn't matter because I will make sure I don't commit the error of letting my guard down in the future.

[perspicacitas]

Have our past dalliances repulsed you so, Midorima-kun, that you so adamantly refuse to worship with me in the future?

[tsunverde]

I'm repulsed by the word dalliances.

[And knowing that he's had them.]

[perspicacitas]

Devout sessions of worship seemed rather a mouthful, but I'm amenable to the term if you are. Or would you prefer some other?

[tsunverde]

I would prefer not talking about it at all after it happens.

[perspicacitas]

[why though?]

Do you have something against sex, Midorima-kun?

[tsunverde]

[It's more that he has something against talking to people.]

Of course not. It's what The Twelve expect of us.

[perspicacitas]

Then whatever is the matter with a little conversation on the subject?

[tsunverde]

It's unnecessary.

[perspicacitas]

Ah. Less talk, more action?

[tsunverde]

Don't put words in my mouth!

[perspicacitas]

I don't believe I've put anything in your mouth recently, Midorima-kun.

[tsunverde]

Shouldn't you get back to whomever is missing his or her cuffs instead of wasting time taunting me?

[perspicacitas]

It's a shame you believe it's taunting, Midorima-kun. [he'd have called it flirting, himself]

[tsunverde]

I call it taunting because you're trying to get a reaction from me.

[perspicacitas]

Most people do interact with the intent of getting a response or reaction from others. I reckon that's the entire point of interactions.

But I assure you it's not meant to taunt. Perhaps the finer nuances of flirting are yet be too foreign to you, though.

[tsunverde]

I never had a need for flirting.

[perspicacitas]

Always had people throwing themselves at you, hmm?

[tsunverde]

Of course not.

[perspicacitas]

Given your...enthusiasm for the subject once you make up your mind to indulge, it's a bit hard to imagine you not wanting any sort of companionship.

[tsunverde]

It was unnecessary at the time.

[perspicacitas]

And must it be necessary to be enjoyable?

[tsunverde]

You're saying I should have taken time away from practice or studying to look for a relationship?

[perspicacitas]

Needs must be balanced if they exist.

And I reckon if anyone could have made it work, it would have been you, Midorima-kun.

[tsunverde]

When we were at home, it was something I would worry about later.
