[ Right or wrong aside, what she's saying is that she tried to prevent a government from acting as their elected leaders decided to by force. She fought to protect people who were being abandoned by their government. Right or wrong is way beyond his head on this right now. It's a lot, and Midorima has been very forgiving of a lot in this world in order to move forward with his life. This wasn't something he foresaw having to deal with. He just.. he needs time to think. ]
Am I going to put other people I care for in danger if I continue to associate with you?
[ He continues his motions to go on his run. He needs to clear his head and properly think this through once he has the answer to that. Because ultimately, that is the most important factor here. ]
I don't think you're in the wrong to protect people, but I need to know.
[ And she won't ever let that happen. Though that but is left unsaid. What's also unsaid is that Weiss will do everything she can to make sure he's not put in danger too. That's something she intends to make known—not just felt and seen—if he lets her stay with him.
[ They look each other in the eye for a second or two. Weiss feels like a heavy weight in her chest is gone now, but... ]
I'm sorry, but I thought you should know all this now. It wouldn't be right to enjoy ourselves and ignore what's actually happening.
You can go on your run now.
[ She'll... clean up, maybe pack up in case Midorima tell her to leave when he's back. Merlin seems to notice Weiss' mood and he hops on her lap for nuzzles. ]
[Eichi moans louder at the shift, sucking in his breath as a gasp just as he presses his lips into Midorima's once more. This is better, but he wants more, more as always, hoping that his quiet murmurs of such into each of their sloppy kisses is enough to tell Midorima of this. He can't focus on anything more than this feeling, the taste of Midorima on his tongue, the feeling of him inside of him...
Just from this, he's so close, but he wants it to last, to wait for Midorima to be just as close, to try and line up their release.]
[ He's going on his run regardless, but he's getting Weiss some fresh pancakes. He can't change who he is and he has no intention of doing it, but at least that much he can plan on.
He won't tell her that, so she can just be surprised when he brings a bunch back and claims they screwed up the first order and double made them. ]
Not as far as I am aware. However, this keychain has a large number of characteristics that could be utilized for a number of lucky items: keychain, a variety of colors, particular hairstyles, something small and cute, something soft, a plush toy, a canine, and more.
[ In other words, the more aspects it covers, the more likely it is he can use it as his lucky item. ]
[ The day has come: White Day. The horoscope was surprisingly as good as Midorima could ask for it. Cancer is in first place. "Reach for your goals today. Don't be shy. Victory in love is highest ranked today. The more effort you put in, the higher you will achieve."
His lucky item was a hairdresser, so before the arranged time, he saw one and had his hair cut. He thinks he looks rather stunning, okay? Very handsome. He's also dressed pretty nicely when he shows up to Eichi's door to pick him up.
As originally intended, he finally is showing up to whisk Eichi away on a date in a sleigh ride without Keito. He somehow managed to hunt down the guy who rented it to him the first time and terrorize convince him to loan it to him again. In the middle of March. If at first you don't succeed, try try again. He also has a paper fan in hand that he's holding out to Eichi the second he opens the door, handle-end toward the blonde. ]
You'll need this.
[ ...In case that text he sent earlier about temperature sensitivity comes to pass. ]
[ You aren't his maid Weiss omg?? That's embarrassing. But Midoriam is a little more focused on other things.
When he takes his run, he takes a little more time than normal with it. He goes a little farther, both to go to the pancake place that he likes better and because he needs time to clear his head and figure a few emotions out.
In the end, the conclusion he comes to is that Weiss is Weiss. She hasn't hurt anyone-- she was in trouble because she was protecting someone, and she continues to protect and serve others here as a moon knight. She wasn't arrested for corruption or being harmful, she was made a fugitive because of it.
Even if there was danger, he finds that he doesn't think that he could hold that against her. And so when he orders her pancakes, he orders an extra heaping side of fruit topping so she can put as much as she wants on.
When he returns, it's with two takeout bags filled with too many pancakes, so he uses his voice to announce his return so Weiss can get the door. ]
[ You don't have to be a maid to want to clean up?!?! Besides, what's wrong with cleaning...
Merlin is first at the door, barking at Midorima from the other side, until Weiss opens it. Once Midorima can come in, she takes a few steps to the side so she's not blocking his way. ]
Do you want me to help you? [ She'll carry a bag if he wants her to, but she won't outright get it from him this time. ]
[ It's someone else's house! Now Midorima is worried she thinks his home isn't clean enough... not that he'd ever say it anyway.
He carefully steps around Merlin as Merlin runs around his feet and holds out one of the bags to Weiss. The smaller one. Some of these are for his lucky item, after all, so his has a meal plus just.. some pancakes to carry around. ]
Take these and eat them. They made a mistake on the order the first time and gave me both.
[ No, Midorima, you just bought Weiss pancakes.. Which is probably obvious by the way hers has all the toppings in the bag and his don't. ]
Buttermilk. There should be a bowl with toppings in it in that bag.
[ It's mostly just fruits and there's a bowl with whipped cream too, and little butter cups so she can do whatever she wants. They're all on the side so she can do whatever. ]
[ Once she's settled down, she opens up the bag he gave her. This is still a lot even for her, but she'll serve herself two pancakes for now. And the butter and cream, too... oh, and fruits. That's a lot of fruits.
She looks over at Midorima's side. How come he doesn't have as much? And if the pancake place really made a mistake, then why do they have the same order?
Ah. There's a curious look on her face when she looks at the pancakes on her plate now, then she looks back at him. Should she say something about it? Maybe not... he might get mad. ]
[ Because he's soft on her, moreso than he is with anyone else really. She gets spoiled, as long as she doesn't say anything about it. In fact, the less she points it out hte more often he'll be willing to do it.
He does put a big of fruit on his own, though nowhere near as much as he's provided her, and a bit of syrup. He likes things that are mildly sweet, not sugary nutso. ]
It would be a waste if you weren't eating at least some of this.
I've actually learned how to make non-goopy pancakes now. [ Her mood still isn't up there, but she does feel a little better. Enough that she's smiling a little and feeling more confident. ] Let me make you some some time.
[ Remember that time she posted on Prismagram? Those pancakes with berries that looked so good? Yeah. They only looked good on the outside. ]
[ She's only perfected spaghetti, ok... She's still learning.
For now, she'll enjoy breakfast that neither of them made. That means it's better! And the fruits are also sweet, and she puts syrup on both the pancakes and fruits before putting the fruits on the pancakes. ]
One side was cooked, I guess. I thought the bubbles were enough so I flipped it.
[ Midorima can do rice, and tea, and hard-boiled eggs at this point.
He has in fact attempted to make hard-boiled eggs in tea, which went okay, and tried to make rice in tea, which was not good. But that's the extent of his cooking skills. He understands that cooking isn't for everyone, so he makes no effort to argue. ]
Bubbles?
[ HE's never successfully made pancakes. Certainly nothing as good as what they're consumin gnow. ]
