Drapes himself across Midorima's lap while he's studying. "Shin-chan," he whines, staring up at him with wide puppy eyes. When Midorima doesn't respond, he makes a pouty face, puffing out his cheeks.

@shuutakao

midorima raises his book with a sigh, and continues to read despite attempts to derail him. science, science, long words-- now he has to reread a sentence because he’d made the mistake of glancing down at his boyfriend. stop that! or don’t. do? what does midorima even want right now? he chews on the insides of his cheeks ( to prevent a smile ) and returns to his book. it would be all too easy of a win to give into takao right away. science, science... oh, so he’s pouting now? takao thinks that will do it? midorima realises that he’s looking down again and quickly directs his eyes back up to his book.

“kazunari,” he replies blankly, in a tone he could use when greeting a slight acquaintance. despite the pretended emotional distance, he shifts so that he’s holding his book in one hand, and the other smooths takao’s hair BACK. hair back. hair. backwards. ( note: he would have simply run his fingers through but as they’re taped, they have a habit of snagging on hair. this is actually a consideration he took into account. )

Catnip contains a chemical called nepetalactone. When cats sniff or chew on catnip, it gets drawn up into a special organ in the back of the roof of their mouth, the vomeronasal gland. From there, the nepetalactone effects the brain, resulting in stimulation.

his first response is to stare, blinking slowly with a characteristic frown pulling at his brows. well, we say characteristic, but wouldn’t anyone think this is all a bit much out of nowhere? his eyes lower to the plushie cat keychain hanging from his wrapped fingers. his ranking is low today. it would’ve been nice to have been warned about weirdos approaching him with information he doesn’t care about, but then, if he had, midorima would only have discredited it because takao fills that role out. slowly, he puts the cat into his pocket. does this warrant a verbal response? hmmm... nope... he’ll just be walking away now, thanks.

takao: why are you looking at me?

KUROKO NO BASKET ✰ Episode 75.5 The Greatest Present

[luckymido]

shuutakao​:

Cool. Yeah. Could they back up a few minutes? A few years, maybe? “Well.” Takao obviously has no answer to that question. Why did he say it like that? “Why did you say it like that?” Very good, very clever. Turning the question around back on Midorima. Mature, too!

huh? now that’s not fair, because midorima has never once, in his whole fucking life said kazu-chan. the thought which flickers across his mind as he stares back in some ill-founded offence makes him kind of want to die? kazu-chan. just smite him where he stands, please. “what are you talking about? i simply said your name. you never call me shintarou.” so... why is he complaining? actually take him back a few years ( alright, one ), and midorima would have given that day’s lucky item for takao not to call him shin-chan. shintarou would have been annoying, but nothing like shin-chan. but now it’s normalised and his only accepted nickname.

[luckymido]

shuutakao​:

Since when has Midorima ever been good at ideal small talk, or even cared about it? Naturally. No, it’s not natural. None of this is natural! This just reminds Takao about their relationship, and how truly unnatural it is that any of this is happening! “What? Nothing,” he says innocently. “Shin…tarou.” He stutters over the word, immediately feeling as though he’s made a mistake.

naturally is maintained less in whether or not midorima and jokes should go hand in hand, but in that everything he does, he does to the best of his ability. if he’s going to know any jokes ( and he does know another about a carrot, but that’s against his will ), they may as well be topical. naturally he had done research. because of course he had. also, takao, that was a mistake. midorima is practically grimacing. “why did you say it like that?” where’s the shin-chan bullshit that has come to make so much sense for them?

[luckymido]

shuutakao​:

“Oh, so you did your research.” That makes it much funnier. He can picture Midorima at the computer, googling funny astrology jokes, and it brings another tear to his eye. “Well, I’m not laughing at the joke! It was just so damn funny coming outta your mouth.” Wow, so rude. “Hey, that’s…” Ah, his first name again. It stalls his thoughts for a moment. “Yeah, sure… perfect. Whatever.”

“naturally.” why wouldn’t he do his research? the best part about that joke had been that it appeals to two brands of people. doctors, even those who don’t have the sense to believe in astrology, and those who believe in astrology ( whether or not they believe in doctors ). ideal small talk to have in case of emergencies! and he will keep it in his mind despite the reception from someone who is neither a doctor or training to be, or interested in astrology. but the ever perception midorima notices something off about takao’s reply and his eyes narrow, assuming that there’s something to be suspicious of. “whaaat?” it’s important to note that he draws the word out in the depths of his suspicions. is takao up to something?

[luckymido]

shuutakao​:

Oh, yeah. Midorima doesn’t have the right to reply with “worse” when this is what he comes up with after. Takao is so baffled by how bad the joke is, and so surprised that it even came out of Midorima’s mouth in the first place, that he bursts into laughter. “Oh, that was terrible,” he says through his tears. “The fact that you were so serious about it too – hahaha!” The absurdity of it all did actually managed to distract Takao from his discomfort for a moment. Thanks, Midorima.

“yes,” midorima replies, all sunshine and pride, “it is one of my better--- what!” nevermind. false alarm. “if it’s so terrible, then why are you laughing at it! i delivered the joke using the comedic device deadpan humour,” said in english for some reason, “and i did it perfectly well.” stop being so indignant, you didn’t even write the joke! “tch. go die, kazunari.”

[luckymido]

shuutakao​:

Yeah, that’s the thing. It wasn’t supposed to be a real joke. Nor was the first one, really. Maybe Takao “designated funny guy” Kazunari actually has a pretty shitty sense of humor. Who knows! “Wow, thanks for the permission, Shin-chan. How benevolent of you.” He hadn’t thought ahead that far, though. When does he ever? “Um, why did the chicken cross the road? Because he was, uh, intimidated by your good looks and basketball skills.”

that aligns pretty well with how midorima feels about his boyfriend’s sense of humour, yeah. he deadpans at the sarcasm, and utters a small huh grunt under his breath. his expression, with the exception of this distinct red tone to it, returns to its former, disappointed glory. “worse.” he doesn’t have many jokes in his mind either, but he can think of one right now. “i said to my doctor ‘i think i’m obsessed with astrology,’ and he replied: ‘what are the signs?’”

midorima is part of my holy trinity best 3 knb boys for a REASON fellas

shuutakao​:

If Takao hadn’t been roiling with awkwardness, he would have thought Midorima’s response was kind of cute. Yes? What a hopeless man. What a bumbling fool. Takao really loves him, which sucks for him! “It’s me,” Takao says sweetly, leaning up on his tiptoes to kiss Midorima on the cheek. See? He can be cute sometimes, even while he’s being annoying. Praise him.

midorima can close up and be as embarrassed as he wants to be afterwards, but the second he clocked that takao was going in for a kiss, midorima did lower just a little and turn his face instinctively towards him. regardless of letting it happen or not, his cheeks heat up and lips tighten into a line. as can be expected, midorima pretends to adjust his glasses to hide his face, and grumbles: “i like that one... better...” as far as jokes go, though, it’s not that great. and didn’t he mess up the formula? “you may tell me another one.”

[knb-incorrect]

midorima: is something burning?

takao: yeah my desire for u

midorima: the toaster is literally on fire

[knb-still-rocks-in-2k21]

Which one hurts most

① Telling your junior how close your best friend is to another person

② Admitting that your once best friend and shadow is fated to be with someone else and that someone else is the true light

③ Seeing your partner doing you two’s signature shot with the same person whom the shot was created to counter and cheering when it goes in

④ Still that situation but you go on and admit that said person is more compatible to your partner than you

[luckymido]

shuutakao​:

“Maybe I will.” Hmph. Takao thought his own attempt at breaking the ice was perfectly adequate, too. They literally hadn’t talked since… man. This is why Kagami’s advice of just talking to him normally would never work! “Okay, I’ve got another one. Knock knock.”

steady, this is hardly kagami’s fault! so far, it’s only takao in awkward hell right now. midorima could admit ( to himself ) that he’s been a little worried about things being weird, but again, isn’t this just... normal relationship stuff? let’s not get into it now. midorima tenses his jaw for a moment, looking over at takao again with a look that correctly summarises his excitement for this joke. “yes?” it’s who’s there, stupid! he remembers it belatedly and adds: “who’s there?”
