Is that it? It felt as though you were rubbing it...
[He lifts his hand to his ear himself, one eye closed as he touches at it. Hmm. It was twitching? He's skeptical, a little, but at the same time... He can't imagine Midorima touching him for any other reason.]
It was likely due to the dream I was having. I apologize. [It was distressing! He remembers that much... Blinking a few times, he pushes himself up onto an elbow, peering at the book Midorima is reading. His hair is a little fluffy from how disheveled it is, and he still looks sleepy, but... He can't sleep all day. And he's getting hungry.]
How late is it? I hope you were able to entertain yourself.
You're spoiled, aren't you, Midorima-kun? If I don't eat, I could become faint and pass out, but even I'll risk that much to see if I can't push you a little past that.
[ He doesn't answer that. If Eichi doesn't see it for the good deed it is that he owes him for then there's no point in further lingering on it?? Eichi is so rude. (It's.. definitely Eichi not Midorima...)
He gives him a rather grumpy look, then shares: ]
Cordis moon makes me hungrier than normal, yes, but that energy need can be satisfied with something other than food that we don't need to move for.
[ He's saying he could just bang Eichi again and be ok. Yes, he's that spoiled. He doesn't even argue against the accusation. ]
But either the kindness of your heart will have you moving before me to the phone, or you'll give in and show me some more love, right? It seems like a win-win situation, you know? Even if I end up exhausted.
[He's really pushing this. Honestly, he's not as cold as he makes himself out to be, so he'll definitely give in after a point, but... He also wants to see how this goes.
Mostly because he wants to feel loved in some way, so maybe it's a mistake to push buttons like this.]
[ Midorima's heart is kind, but his face and attitude is not. Which is why he moves to push Eichi over to the other side of the bed so he's right next to the phone. ]
I'll move you and the problem is solved.
[ He's not pushing hard or being rough or anything so there's a good chance Eichi can fight him on this if he isn't caught completely off guard. ]
[He is completely caught off guard, so he's pushed right on over, left colder than moments before even if he is closer to the phone. It's startling, and Eichi is most certainly pouting over it... which is exactly why he grabs the phone and turns completely away from Midorima, plotting.]
I wonder... You can satisfy your hunger in any way, right? So I'll order food just for myself.
[He won't, really, but he's absolutely trying to get a rise out of him by being like this.]
Those are food, not ingredients. You don't need to have a complex creation for every meal.
[ He takes his phone and starts going through it to find a number for a burger place. ]
I am. You should know I get my way often enough that my coach and team captain had to make a deal with me to get three free-passes on anything I want each day that they can't argue with. It saved me a lot of grief in needing to fight to get my way, and it keeps me from going overboard with them because I'll narrow it down to the things I want most.
[ See. Eichi. The only way to bargain with him is to give him what he wants, because that's just how hard-headed he is. ]
[He kind of wants to step on Midorima's foot for comments like that. But at the same time—]
Fufu... you're so cute. Saying arrogant things like that is irritating, but it also makes me want to kiss you, right now.
[Hmm. Blunt. It's the moons encouraging that, probably... or is he using that as an excuse? Either way, he won't bother Midorima with an actual attempt, and just loosely curls one arm around him, instead, burying his face nearby while he lets him call. He's still affectionate. That, for sure, is the moon's doing.]
[ Then he'll kiss him for good behavior. He rolls onto his side just enough to be able to properly kiss Eichi slowly, using his hand to tuck his bangs behind his ear. If Eichi moves to try to hold onto him or keep it going, he'll pull back. ]
Your reward for giving in.
[ Spoil your Midorima and he will spoil back. But only if he is first spoiled. ]
A kiss. A nice kiss, with an affectionate gesture like that. He was just about to settle in and expect to be ignored and maybe even shoved away, but he gets this? Thankfully, he doesn't try to press it further or cling. He's too shocked, and he's left blinking when Midorima pulls back. The moons... can he blame the moons for this burning in his cheeks...
That line, though. It's. It's still a sweet gesture, but it's playing dirty? Or is it just nice, to do things for each other? No, it's definitely playing dirty...!
Eichi doesn't know if he likes it or hates it. And so, he simply hums in his acknowledgement, left speechless for once so that Midorima can order these burgers or whatever. Eichi's just going to puzzle over this quietly.]

[ ...An accurate one. Hush. ]
Late enough for lunch time.
[ If Eichi is hungry, Midorima certainly is. Cordis moon is a bitch.
He also kind of wants to keep rubbing Eichi, but he'll leave that at an odd, lingering stare at his ears. ]
Order food.
no subject
Ehh... You're the one who had an idea for food, didn't you? I don't mind paying, but you should order it.
no subject
[ Midorima doesn't quite know how it got over there but it's on Eichi's side?? And he could just walk around but he also.
Is quite comfortable and quite spoiled right now. ]
no subject
Can't you just reach over me?
no subject
[ He's going to have an Iris Problem. This is clearly reason enough for Midorima to do it. For Eichi's sake, obviously. ]
no subject
[ He says it with a playful laugh, squeezing his arm. ]
Thatβs all I can smell already, you know? I can control myself.
[ With difficulty. Midorima could definitely be irresistible with them both in these states, but heβs not going to admit to that. ]
no subject
That may be so, but I don't want to get up.
[ And that is reason enough for him.. not to.. ]
no subject
no subject
No one's ever had that response before!!! ]
I let you sleep against me.
[ He obviously even changed positions so they would both be comfortable!! ]
no subject
[Well, at least he stops pinching.]

[Midorima. Please rethink this.]

I'm saying that I have a source of energy, you'll only get more exhausted, so you should be the one to move.

no subject
[Joke's on you, Midorima!! Until Keito arrives, Eichi's fridge and cabinets are e m p t y other than tea.
It's kind of pathetic, actually.]
no subject
[ Even if Eichi, like Midorima, can't cook for shit those can at least be eaten raw.
He'll drink all of his tea and just pee all day then!!]no subject
[He sighs, and rolls back over after a moment, handing out the phone to Midorima.]
Your stubbornness has won out, at least a little. Though I'm sure you're used to that.
