[ She can't help but laugh a little at it. It's... surprising, in a very pleasant way. Midorima always gave off the vibe that he'd never touch kitchenware because he'd just burn stuff. Seeing him make an effort makes her feel pretty good, even if it's just hard-boiled eggs.
So, she sits down in the dining. The smile on her face disappears as she looks unsure again. Hurry up and talk to her already... she wants to get this over with because no one says "we need to talk" and has anything good to say. ]
[ You should see his trash can. There are about a dozen and a half failed attempts in there. That's why there are only 3 and a half eggs on that plate, cut in half... (At least the half is just that he tasted it to make sure this batch wasn't garbage and not some weird reason..) ]
I said I did. They're easier to cook in the water because you just bring it to a boil, turn it off, and set a timer for 15 minutes.
[ He did try other means of making eggs, but they did not come out as well. ]
[ This isn't like... "Weiss you did something wrong, here's what you should do to fix it" or "Weiss you did something wrong, you're a mess". This is honestly much better.
I'm a private person. I've agreed to us being boyfriend and girlfriend, I don't want the details of that being shared on Prismagram.
[ Yeah he found out about that!! And he's not mad, but he just wants to make sure it's clear like... Don't share anything besides that they are dating pls.. ]
In efforts to maintain privacy, I'll text any time before I come over and expect you to do the same so we don't run into other partners. I don't mind you being with others and will do the same, but I can't guarantee I'll be kind to them if I see them with you.
[ If Midorima is bothered by the privacy aspect when his photos are online, Weiss understands. She... likes posting stuff on Prismagram! It's something she didn't know she'd enjoy, but she's honestly enjoying life a lot more in this place. It's impossible for her to hide her disappointment, but she'll agree to it.
Though, she doesn't really understand why he says he won't be kind to anyone else Weiss is with?? Why is he so grumpy... he's the one who said seeing other people and not being in a sole committed relationship isn't feasible.
She'd question it, but she doesn't really want to argue, either. Weiss finds herself less argumentative with Midorima. ]
It was recently pointed out to me that I'm being unfair and demanding more but keeping certain people at arm's length.
[ He gets very tense at this, but he's. He's trying. He's trying so hard. Even if he's embarrassed... but he's been called on his shit and is trying to make improvements. ]
I'm going to attempt to call you and T- Eichi by your first names, at least in front of you... Weiss.
[ But like if he slips up once in a while it's habit ok.. ]
[ If he slips up, it's fine. He already called her by her name after the ball, even if it was through text. And even if he did follow up with "Schnee". It was an effort, and... honestly, more than Weiss could ever ask for. But she also hasn't been asking much from him, preferring to take things slow and have him be more comfortable with her so he'll open up naturally. He'd snap at her otherwise, and then she's snap right back at him because the last thing she needs is someone getting mad at her for making what she wants known. That's why she's fine with taking the backseat.
She's a little stunned at what he says, but it's a good kind of stunned. The smile she wore when she saw the eggs earlier comes back, and the butterflies in her stomach remain, but because of something different, now. He said someone else pointed it out, but it's Midorima making the statement now. He may look embarrassed right now, but... Weiss hopes that there will be a day when he'll be comfortable enough being close to her without him feeling awkward about it. ]
Thank you.
[ Her smile turns more genuine when she finally looks him in the eye. She almost wants to ask if she can call him by his given name, but opts to just go with it without permission.
[ If there's one thing Midorima's good at, it's putting in effort even if he isn't perfect. He nods to what she says, not really sure what else to say. So he just finishes what he decided on before inviting her over. ]
Try not to be too apparent in front of Eichi, if you can. He's more possessive than I expected. Otherwise, you can bring up anything you'd like out of this now.
Are you going to stop talking to me for weeks because Eichi posts that we're in an undefined relationship on Prismagram and not tell me why until I pick a fight with you for ignoring me?
[ Because then yes, he'll talk to Eichi about it. ]
No. I would tell you if I had a big problem with you.
[ Small ones, she can at least keep to herself until she explodes... but that'd be scary. ]
I'm asking because you're telling me don't do this and don't do that. That's fine, but I'd be upset to find out that I'm the only person you're telling these things to. It's a little rude.
[ What happened to her feeling anxious earlier... ]
I've already talked to him. His rules are similar. He was upset because he thought that I had violated one of ours.
[ he sighs, looking a little exhausted. ]
I'm trying to talk to you so we don't have issues, not because I'm trying to pick a fight. I said you can tell me if there's anything you want to establish, I'm not laying down rules and refusing to listen.
[ Weiss shakes her head in response. She's just prickly by nature; she isn't trying to start a fight, either.
But she should probably say that out loud. ]
I'm not looking for a fight. [ ... She looks away, lips pursed, brows slightly furrowed. She's not really angry, just worried. ] I can't think of anything right now, but... I don't want to be pushed aside in favour of someone else.
[ He nods in agreement. He can't guarantee he won't have to run off if Eichi has a health crisis, but barring emergency, he has no intention of treating either of them unfairly. He also has something to make up to her though, and has already intended on doing so. It's just been too far from the actual date to say anything. ]
[ It's just been one bad year after another. She doesn't want to make it about her anymore, because it'll just end in disappointment. 😔 Midorima's free to convince her to do it this year, though. ]
Then pack three days worth of warm clothing and give me your sizes so I can prepare equipment.
[ He's gonna keep it a surprise!!!!! So he needs her shoe size so he can get ice skates for her. He's gonna take her to a cabin with a jacuzzi and make her hot cocoa (with instant packets, sorry) and take her ice skating and moonlace on a rug in front of a fireplace. This is his plans. He will also buy ingredients and ask her to teach him to cook things so they can do it together and she can't complain he's not making an effort, but she can also make sure they don't starve. ]
[ Midorima, you can't just ask a girl that??? She is small everywhere, that should be easy to estimate, but the actual numbers feel like a little too much. It's embarrassing, and how she feels shows with how bright her cheeks turn. ]

no subject
[ Yeah he's determined so he's just going to tell her that this is happening. ]
It's also Valentine's Day, so if you want to be stubborn about it, do it as your Valentine's gift to me instead of accepting it as a birthday offer.
no subject
[ ... She wants to celebrate her birthday, Midorima!!! Don't be a dick, she's playing hard to get! ]
I've never celebrated that before, but I'd much prefer to celebrate my birthday than that.
