KiMido, ish

why bother talking to someone who doesn't talk back? doesn't he always just respond "die"?

but that's the thing

Midorima always responds

Kise loved texting. Every so often, someone would criticize the method of communication as being too drab; it was impossible to show your feelings, thinkpiece bits on the news said.

Bullshit, in his opinion.

With emojis, capitalization, and punctuation, it was so much easier to show people what you were feeling. It was right there, a log of your interactions and emotions that couldn't be forgotten or explained away.

Take now, for instance. Like he did every morning, Kise thumbed through his phone to the contact that was a single green heart. He had all his former teammates listed that way--it meant they were the top of his contacts.

To Midorima, he sent his customary text: good morning midorimacchi!! [confetti]

The rest of the old team said he was dumb for reaching out to Midorima so often. After all, Aomine said once, why bother talking to someone who so clearly didn’t want to talk back? Doesn't he always just respond with “die”?

That's what the other Miracles didn't get about talking to Midorima.

Midorima always responded.
