He and Mei-san are pretty similar like that. [ Because he's not oblivious in the least bit.
But at least Suga doesn't tickle him more... Itsuki's not sure how well that would end with them all cozied up to one another. After mulling it over, he carefully reaches with his free hand to seek out one of Suga's, much like he'd done the first day they met. ] Well, I can say that I'm not as worried about how things will be, now, so I definitely think we'll be able to handle anything that happens.
You've noticed that, too? [ ducking his chin with a little laugh. ] I think they'd both be better off if they learned how to say how they really feel.
But I'm glad you're feeling a little better. [ with an affectionate little bump of his head against itsuki's shoulder, much as if he were a friendly housecat. ] That means I'm doing my job already!
[ He nods, smiling as Suga laughs. It's a good sound, better than his voice when he was talking about his captain. ] That probably won't happen for a long, long time...
[ Said with a little grimace, even if he huffs a laugh afterwards. He does, he loves Mei, but... he also knows that Mei would never, ever have said the things that he did if he wasn't affected the way he was. So he just rubs his cheek on top of Suga's head, nose scrunching. ] I do appreciate it, Suga-san. You've helped a lot since we first met.
[ If he knew, Itsuki would likely tell him he didn't have to. So it's probably for the best that he remains in the dark until after the fact, if it's ever revealed to him at all. ]
Mm. A team should always be there to support one another. [ There's a sting in the back of his ribs with that, but he just cuddles up with Suga more to drown it out. ]
[ Ducking down a little in the blanket, so that his mouth is hidden and his nose just barely peeks out, Itsuki stares down at the tea that he's left on the table. Because he needs to take a moment, to just... let the words sink in.

That's what a good team does, right?
[ nosing up into him. ] And I'd really hate to let my teammate down.

I'll do my best, Suga-san.

[ softly, warmly. his gut tells him that it's something itsuki needs to hear. ] You seem like someone I can count on to have my back.
no subject
He really doesn't hear that very often. ]
You, too. I'm glad that we got to meet.
