[ 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... ]
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...
You call the grocery store and tell them you're making a pick-up order.
[ ...Merlin isn't picking the groceries. He's smart, not that smart. He's also very small, so he can't exactly pick up big orders. Nova would probably have better luck, Merlin would just be a snack-fetcher.
Well, maybe. Kise can bring snacks too sometimes, he thinks. His nostrils move slightly as he sniffs them. They do smell pretty good... He pushes up his glasses then, straightening before realizing how embarrassed Kise looks and gets a little blush himself. ]
[Listen, he's never done this for anyone else before, alright? It's one thing to buy a gift for a birthday or holiday, but this is entirely different. There's nothing to celebrate to be used as an excuse, there's homemade food involved- sweets of all things- and he's giving them to someone with whom he's in a relationship (maybe?) with.
And there's a lot of reason for Kise to blush- but why is Midorima blushing too!? Kise won't point it out tho, because pot-kettle.]
Really? I-I mean! I wanna know if they turned out good!
[ He's embarrassed because he shouldn't be this flattered about homecooking from Kise!! But he is. Midorima really is lucky to have people who are willing to cook for him without him even asking. (Or when he asks, but more importantly when he doesn't..) It just means Kise was thinking about him for no reason, not even a moon since it's Cordis so Midorima's the only one affected right now. Thank god tanuki tails don't wag or this would be even more embarrassing.
He goes to get a plate to properly plate what Kise brought and puts the fruits and veggies he bought away for later. ]
[He could try and name a bunch of excuses as to why he made these for Midorima, ranging from 'I'm just practicing' to 'I was worried' but honest truth would be "He wanted to". He wanted to make something for Midorima, because when he's not thinking about work or work out and basketball, he thinks about him. Embarrassingly much too.
If Kise had his wolf ears and tail, they would be wagging too. But instead, he's just shining brightly like a sun, despite the 'threat'.]
Mhm! I won't mind! I'll know what to fix next time!
[ He doesn't need a reason. Midorima isn't going to complain regardless of the reason. His favorite food is oshiruko, and his favorite category of foods is anything with red beans. So Kise has done well. ]
Do you want anything?
[ Once they're plated he pops one in his mouth even.. before Kise even answers. He's not waiting for you, blondie, he wants to try one. ]
[ He's not saying it, he just eats another one.. yum.
No really, he's not giving Kise feedback, he's just going on with his life and cleaning up. He also gets a treat for Merlin, who is following him around about a foot behind him wherever he treads. ]
[ He sounds a little huffy when he says it, but it's more.. like.. he doesn't really know how to react when people do things for him. Going quiet and being awkward tends to be his go-to when people are nice to him.
But after a moment or so of consideration, he says: ]
He didn't expect thanks! Jeez- Midorima goes from 0 to 180 so fast. Then again, Kise kind of pushed it didn't he...? He scratches back of his neck, mumbling-]
Don't thank me, I wanted to make them for you.
[...
Suddenly Merlin playing with Midorima's pantleg looks more interesting than looking at Midorima himself.]
[And there's the nickname. He knows it's a nickname because there's no serious bite behind it.
So he just smiles and kicks idly his foot back and forth.]
Hm? Oh, nothing. I thought I'd need more time to make these- I've been trying to make them last two days and it was a disaster. So I figured I'd be done by evening today? But, apparently, I didn't mess up this time.
[ Midorima goes back into the fridge and takes out two waters, putting one in front of Kise. They're bottled, despite being at home. Because they're going out. ]
I'm going to a swap meet, then the gym. You're coming.
He takes one more ball out to snack on before putting the rest away. Then he goes to fetch reusable bags for shopping. Merlin can't fetch antiques and rare items. Plus, Midorima has fun with this sort of thing. ]
[Because he's bossy and Kise is the one carrying all the bags. Obviously.
Kise's kind of excited to see this gathering and exchange. Is Midorima a good bargainer? He says cordis makes him indulge more than usual so maybe he should keep an eye on him and not let him get everything his eye falls on.]
Nope! I only know about it since you mentioned it a while back, when I asked you how you get all the lucky items.
[ Meanwhile, Midorima is thinking if he doesn't have enough money for what he wants, he can pull Kise into a bathroom and kiss him for a few minutes. u_u He's a brat, sorry Kise. ]
You'll learn today, then. It's a useful tool.
[ MIdorima hands the bags to Kise to carry, then makes sure that Merlin is ready to stay home alone for now. He can't come with, he is too much of a menace for the swap meet. ]

I'll try these instead of the snacks I bought.

Nah, I'm fine!

no subject
Kise peers at Midorima, then at the plate with treats. He can't gauge whether they are good or no, Midorima's expression is the same as always!
...he plucks one from the plate to give it a look. Then a bite. He didn't burn them, right? ...tastes fine to him...]
no subject
Do you normally eat gifts you give? [ They're his... ]
no subject
You didn't say anything! So I wondered if I burned them or something!
[This is why you give feedback...]
no subject
[ That he's eating them is the compliment!! ]
no subject
[He's still not a pro at reading Midorima completely. This is first time he's giving him a baked gift!]

What are you doing after this?
no subject

Hm? Oh, nothing. I thought I'd need more time to make these- I've been trying to make them last two days and it was a disaster. So I figured I'd be done by evening today? But, apparently, I didn't mess up this time.
[Yeah, he just blurted out all of that.]
You have time to hang out?
no subject
I'm going to a swap meet, then the gym. You're coming.
[ isn't he so good at inviting people on dates ]
no subject
[That's fine- Kise keeps bottled waters in his fridge too, it's not weird. He didn't think they would go to the gym though- he doesn't have clothes.
Also-]
...swap meet?
[???]
no subject
[ Kise will be his pack mule. So romantic. ]
no subject
Still didn't explain what swap meet is. No, wait- it's that thing about exchanging items, isn't it?]
Alright. I'm kind of curious to see this, not gonna lie.
[Maybe he should also keep an eye on Midorima's "shopping spree" since it's cordis. He might end up wanting to get everything from the meeting.]
no subject
