MIDORIMA...he's so good.

[earphoned]

A correction pen?

[ Minato is trying to be the cryptic and cool guy here, but Midorima outmatches him with this inconspicuous piece of advice. It makes little sense, that's why he needs to ask again in the first place.

Then it finally dawns on Minato that this might be Midorima's way of encouraging him. Which makes him laugh for quite a while. ]

This might be a difficult test, you're right. Is there anything else I should take?

[accurately]

I'm not making a metaphor. Take a correction pen, you brat.

[ At least his irritation isn't hard to get back up, even after a brief dere moment. He's fine with being seen as a crabby jerk but minato should definitely go get one for his luck/protection. Midorima isn't quite at a stage of getting one for him himself, but he certainly doesn't wish actual ill on Minato. ]

[earphoned]

Okay, okay, I will. What's your lucky item for today?

[ Being called a brat is amusing more than anything, honestly. If his chest wasn't burning, he might have let out a laugh, even. ]

[accurately]

Shiba Inu.

[ At which point Minato will get an image of an oversized plush toy. Midorima's feet can be seen on the couch behind it, though just barely. What Minato concludes about whether or not Midorima is miserably lying on the couch with a fat shiba inu toy on top of him is up to Minato.

He might not have shared, but he can only imagine what Minato would've assumed about live animals if he hadn't. ]

[earphoned]

It's adorable. I guess it suits you.

[ Because messing with Midorima surely will make the tall guy feel better. ]

Take it easy for today and pat the Shiba on the head from me.

[ It doesn't even matter that it's just a toy. ]

[accurately]

[ He refuses to dignify whether or not he does that for him with a response, but he does. Midorima is completely fine giving pats to stuffed animals, or playing with puppets, or playing silly songs on a tiny piano.. honestly, once he gets to know someone, he can open up a bit with his lucky items. But he hasn't quite opened up that much with Minato, so Minato doesn't get to know he actually patted the Shiba for him.

Instead, he decides to finally correct his initial statement when Minato texted him, if only because it's an actual apparent risk at this point and he needs an excuse to say goodbye on a note that doesn't involve furiously petting a stuffed animal because his chest is searing hot and so is the person's he's talking to.. ]

It'll be irritating if you die, so I'm forbidding it. Bye.
