We attend the same classes, the same clubs, we eat together, and we walk home together at night. I don't have a problem walking or taking public transportation as necessary, but he's typically already where I am.
[ Joined at the hip may be a good descriptor..
Their taxi is pulling up now and the driver pops the trunk so he can put their luggage away. ]

No. I had a Prismagram once, but I had someone delete it.
[ Midorima doesn't say that it was Weiss. He doesn't want to bring her up today unless Eichi does first. This is Eichi's date, so he's not going to speak of others unless the other asks first. ]
My coach wants me to start one up, but I didn't want to.
[ Midorima is really bad at technology, so he just refuses to deal with it. Their wins this season have gone up significantly because of Midorima's presence, and he knows it, so it's hard for people to argue with him and have any grounds to unless it's affecting the court. Prismagram definitely isn't.
But the method of transportation comes into focus now that they're outside, and so does Eichi's focus, so Midorima nods affirmatively, pushing up his glasses as if to act like it was nothing. ]
You weren't able to enjoy it properly on Christmas; I convinced the owner to take it out of storage for today.
[ Even in the middle of March, it looks absolutely ridiculous. Midorima doesn't seem bothered by it at all, despite how easily embarrassed he is by other things. In fact, he almost looks proud of himself. ]
There are Santa hats in the dashboard if you want to wear one.
[ Midorima isn't intending on wearing one. ] It's unfortunately it's not Cordis right now, so I can't make it snow.
[ He can't make it snow normally, but he can freeze the water coming out of a spray bottle as it falls for a personal snowcloud that probably wouldn't ruin Eichi's health too much. The timing isn't right, though, and Midorima hasn't purchased anything to change that. ]

Why?
[ He's not answering until he knows why. ]

It was his idea. He should win more if he wants to ride.
[ Midorima makes sure everything is properly in before he gets in the car too and the driver goes to the front, reminding them to buckle up as he starts the car again.
Midorima gives Merlin two pats on the head and Weiss one pat, then turns forward in the car. ]

[ She just... shakes her head at that. She really wants to know what Midorima is like when he's with Takao, though. It makes her want to ask so many questions.
Weiss is quiet in the cab, preferring to check her device and give Merlin pats on the head every so often. She doubts Kise lives very far, anyway, so a little bit of quiet time shouldn't hurt. Besides, she knows Midorima likes it, too. ]

I'm at the convenience store with Merlin.
I'll return in 15 minutes.
I'll return in 15 minutes.
[ Yeah, it's not too far, and once they're there, he gathers Merlin up. ]
I'll be just a minute. Say your goodbyes.
[ He holds Merlin up in front of Weiss so she can like, he doesn't know, give him a cheek kiss or whatever cutesy thing she wants to do.. ]

OK.
Have you eaten?
[ He'll get him instant onion soup and put cheese in it so it's gratin if he says he hasn't. Proceed with caution. ]

[ Kise is saved today from poorly made instant onion soup, then. Midorima is stocking up on healthy snacks himself, like edamame and rice cakes and mixed nuts and dried fruits and some eggs too, in case he wants to make tamagokakegohan since he already has rice in the rice cooker while he's gone. It's a stupid amount of snacks but it'll last him for a while. He does also get chocolate-dipped strawberries (and enough for Kise to have one or two too) on the way home.
He doesn't respond, and instead just goes to head home. When Kise gets there, he may notice Merlin walking around with a raspberry donut squeeze toy. Merlin has to stick around because that is his lucky item and Midorima can't get it back from him... ]

[A chance will probably appear in the future- maybe he'll get it as a lucky item. Who knows.
True to Kise's word, he arrives just as planned, dressed as tastefully as ever, hair perhaps standing out since it's poofy (he had to take a bath after cooking, he had flour everywhere). He has a bag in his hand, containing something he was making the entire morning. But he's proud with how they turned out. They are packed in a big, neat, see-through box, filled all the way in, and he had to wait for them to cool down so that the dough isn't mushy.
He rings the bell and is positively beaming from how proud he is with what he made. Maybe a bit... too excited. Just as he rings the bell, Merlin comes running out, almost startling Kise.]
Hey there buddy! What'cha got there? [He crouches, hoping Merlin will come over for some pats. He has no idea that's Midorima's lucky item.]

[ Merlin comes over and sits down on Kise's foot, as is protocol for visitor greetings. If at least one foot doesn't smell like his bum, they are not cleared to enter the premises. Kise is now cleared.
Midorima is not far behind him, opening the door with an irritated look down toward the dog. Stop taking his lucky item every time he turns his back, Merlin!! ]
My lucky item.

My lucky item.
[Kise looks up when Midorima comes out and explains the 'situation' his mouth going into silent 'oh', and he looks back at the pupper.]
Wanna trade me, buddy? [Kise fishes out a chewing stick-snack he bought for Nova (wolf has been gnawing on everything, Kise thought he needed something to sharpen the teeth), opens it and offers it to Merlin. He can buy new one on his way back.]
I am 200% sure that this tastes better than that! [He's probably messing with Midorima's "feed timings" but he wants his lucky item back, doesn't he?]

[ Merlin is easily bribeable with treats. Well, sort of. He drops the toy at his own feet and reaches for the chew stick. But if Kise tries to pick up the donut toy, he'll growl. He won't actually attack him, but he's definitely growling possessively. ]
I don't mind if he has it, as long as he keeps close.
[ Midorima just picks Merlin up off of Kise's foot. Kise doesn't get personal space anymore when Midorima doesn't want to respect it, but he'll usually only do it to do things like retrieving Merlin off of his foot unless he intends to do something otherwise. Right now, he just wants to fetch his dog. Because he picks up Merlin, he can now pick up the toy with his other hand. Thanks for distracting him, Kise. ]
Come in.

Well, he didn't run off on the street so that's good!
[Kise stands up and picks up the bag he was carrying- you're welcome, Midorima. He's not sure if he'll be able to do much if the dog takes the toy again later.
After stepping inside and closing the door, he takes his shoes off at the entrance and then follows Midorima to the living room. He'll let him have the bag once the puppy is back down on the floor- he doesn't want all these treats he made for Midorima ruined.]
Thank you for having me~ [He chirps in a happy tone~]

[ It's fine, he can just carry the dog while the dog carries his lucky item. His luck is in 3rd today, he'll be okay.
Once they're inside, he reaches down to latch the doggy door so he can't run out with it again and sets Merlin down, then heads inside. His convenience store haul is still on the kitchen table. Little does he know he's about to abandon it for whatever Kise has. ]
He's allowed outside. He's well-trained. Soon he'll be able to go to the convenience store on his own.

Really?! Do you think I can train my wolf to do that too!?
[Although Kise prefers going shopping himself. He likes browsing items for some reason, don't judge him. He shrugs off his jacket and puts it on the back of the kitchen chair, eyeing the pile of food (yeah, he's stocking up alright, like a squirrel), and then grabs the bag he brought.]
Here! These are for you!
[He rubs back of his neck when Midorima, eventually, accepts the bag and looks away with a slight flush on his face,] Took me a while to get it down, and they are still not perfect, but they are really tasty! I tried them.

Doesn't your wolf already do everything you want?
[ He seemed pretty obedient, after all. Midorima's had to put a lot of work into Merlin. He looks surprised when the bag is held out to him and he peers in. Not because Kise has a gift for him- he mentioned that already. But it... smells really good, now that he's poking his head above the bag and taking a sniff. It smells good... ]
Are these red bean?

Well, yeah, but I never thought they could do grocery shopping. I mean, how do you teach them to buy different types of cheese? Or meat? Won't they eat it on the way back?
[It's not that he's judging Midorima's idea, it's brilliant actually, but he does have some questions.
Anyway, that debate can wait for a moment because Midorima's opening the bag and it's making Kise all fidgety.]
Yeah! I, uh.... made... those... [Yeah, his face is fire now. His ears too. Why is giving Midorima homemade pastries getting him like this? They shared bed multiple times before, how is THIS making him blush!?] I took a class in... baking...

We won't be back soon, we'll be gone all weekend. Annoy Kise about it.
[ He says it just in earshot of Weiss to Merlin before closing the door. He knows it's going to annoy her. He'll be gone and back in a couple minutes. There is yelling before he leaves, as per tradition when it comes to Kise. But he makes it quick and looks a little ruffled when he comes back to the car. He gets in and sighs. ]
Let's go.
[ He says that to the driver to let him know he's ready, buckling up as he does. ]
