[The turn feels so sudden, and Eichi jolts back, hands retreating as Midorima does a too-intimidating take of a kabedon. He's glad that Midorima is so blind, because he's sure his own expression flashes into something too real for a moment. Past experiences aren't as long ago as they feel.
But even when that fades away, there's a strange mixture of feelings left in his chest. He's still aroused, still dealing with heat, and the intense way Midorima can turn on him like that is incredibly attractive, somehow. But now he's worried, on top of that. Afraid? He's afraid he's stepped over some line... Maybe he did that long ago.
It's not fair to ask him to push that line. No one ever wants to, and he shouldn't expect them to, right? More than that, he's not sure why he wants to push it so far to begin with. More thinking on that has him wondering if he's more troubled by everything going on right now than he wants to admit. (Yes.)
Midorima just cares. That's what this is, he's sure... But even knowing that isn't calming the sick feeling in his heart. It's not Midorima's fault at all. Eichi just has had too much on his plate for too long, and something was bound to knock at it.]
...Right.
[So, he's quiet aside from that, and he doesn't move his hands back to touch Midorima even for support. He's not steady on his feet, but he can probably make it for the rest of this shower.]
