Yeah you mentioned that. I meant the fortune tellers' booths that tend to pop up during festivals. They are bad.

[Kise shrugs casually,]

I didn't follow it as religiously as you did, but I listened to it from time to time, especially before the matches.

[It basically tells you in what kind of mood Midorima will be.]

If you see a weasel, it's trained to pickpocket. Avoid it.

[ That was a big fortune teller's schtick last year.. ]

You're surprisingly attentive.

[ He does actually appreciate that. Even back home before matches, Kise's probably one of the only people who did that outside of Takao. ]

A weasel...? Got it.

[If that's this place's doing then he is not going to question it as there probably isn't an answer.

He's not sure if that's compliment or not, but his ears still feel warm. ]

Hey, you said so many times it's amazingly accurate so it would've been crazy not to check it out.

Most people seem to ignore it regardless.

[ Though every once in a while he finds someone else who carries lucky items. Kise doesn't though, despite paying attention to it.. ]

You don't believe in it, though.

[ He's just checking. ]

[Does he believe on Oha Asa? Hmm, he can't really tell as he never really thought about it properly.]

I've seen it work for you, so it would be stupid to say it doesn't work. I just think it doesn't work for me.

So, I believe it, when it's not about me. I suppose I don't have the right temper for it.

[To put it simple.]

[ He's a little disappointed, but it's acceptable. It's better than when people condescend to him about it by far, or even act like they think he's just gullible. Kise is good, even if he doesn't believe it works for anyone but Midorima. ]

Even so, I would recommend keeping a picture of your lucky item on your phone if you're in the bottom three.

[ But if he doesn't want to, he won't do what he does with Weiss and text her pictures of lucky items he finds for her. He was considering doing it for Kise, but if it's not of any use, he'll just make him carry them around if he's spending time with him that day or he's in absolutely last place. ]

[He just thinks he's not diligent enough to follow the instructions to the T as Midorima does so he has doubts it would work for him. And maybe back in Teiko he thought it was odd, now it's just part of who Midorima is and he's accepted that.]

I will keep an eye out for it!

[He'll try to! He honestly follows mostly Midorima's because last time the guy had last place he refused to leave the house.]

Who knows maybe you're my lucky item all the time!

[Just blurts it out like that.]

[ Kise is getting smacked with the pillow Midorima's carrying around for saying something so embarrassing. ]

Geh-!

[He stumbles a bit but it still makes him chuckle. He's lucky Midorima's not carrying anything heavier than the pillow.]

It's true! I didn't get to check horoscope today, I was buying yukata!

Gemini's lucky item is "cold goods" today.

[ It's vague, the kind of item that would be driving Midorima up a wall. But thankfully it's Kise's and not his. ]

[Kise perks up at that and pauses, giving the shaved ice in his hands a curious look. What are the odds! Then he grins up at Midorima cheekily.]

Well it seems that I took care of that! And I'm using it too.

For the time being.

[ His luck-related item will run out soon. ]

Once it's gone it won't be cold anymore.

But that's because I used it. Didn't you say that counts?

[Way back when Kise made you spaghetti that was "straight yellow item".]

In the end, I can just buy more.

That makes it more effective, but you still need to keep something with you. Hold still.

[ Midorima backs up a little and takes his device out, then takes a picture without warning. He sends the photo to Kise. ]

An image can suffice as a supplement.

[This one is not as flattering as Kise would want, since looked up in confusion and with half of the plastic spoon in his mouth from eating the treat that's in his hands.

But it's still oddly cute.

He chuckles.]

You really do have it all figured out.

[ That's actually why Midorima is saving the picture for himself. It's not Kise's sparkling model face, it's candid Kise. He likes candid Kise. ]

If I hadn't learned anything from years of practice, I'd be ashamed.

[ That is to say, he's an expert at this. ]

[He should take more pictures of candid Kise then. He won't tell Midorima to delete them, just complain how fussy or out of order he looks.]

That's completely true. [He finishes off his shaved ice while it's still ice, it's no fun when it melts, and tosses the cup in the nearest bin.]

What do you wanna do? When you're done with food, of course!

[ It's rare he has a good excuse to take them, unfortunately. He's not going to admit he likes them willingly, after all.

Midorima finishes his at about the same time, then sticks his tongue out at Kise. Not because he's being a little shit, though. ]

Is it stained?

[ He wants to brush his teeth if it is.. ]

[Where are you going to brush teeth in the middle of the city!?

Kise doesn't know that though, but is surprised a bit at the question. He shakes his head,] Nah, not really.

You asked for strawberry. [So his tongue is just red like it normally is. He's going to hide urge to kiss him behind a smile.]

[ That was the plan. He likes strawberry, but it's also.. less likely to stain his tongue. It'd be embarrassing if it was blue or something. ]

I'll brush them later then.

[ No other explanation. But that means that isn't their next activity. ]

I want to play the fish scooping game.

[ Midorima is ridiculously good at that. It's his turn to show off. ]

Right! You said you were good at that!

[Kise clapped his hands and then started looking around. There's a frown on his face when he doesn't see it in this street.]

Hmmm, I wonder where the stall is. I actually didn't see one. Let's go look around.

[ Midorima hadn't seen it either, so he nods in agreement, holding his pillow out to Kise for him to carry. ]

Take this. Let's go.

[ Literally he just wants Kise to carry it for him. ]

Huh?

[Kise blinks at looks down at the pillow that was given to him, shrugs and hugs it with both of his hands as he follows after Midorima. If it were any other lucky item, he'd probably complain. But he likes pillows.]

We should check the second street.

[ Yes, but now Kise has proved he is willing. Which means Midorima can use him to carry things in the future as far as he's concerned. ]

You haven't looked there yet?

[ He's heading that way. ]

[No, he won't. Well probably sometimes, but not all the time. He won't carry anything weird. And if it becomes a habit, Kise's bringing bag with him to put it in.]

I just passed through, I didn't really look.

[He beelined for the shooting stalls.]
