I know.
[So's Hifumi, but he's not quite to the yelling stage. He's just at that "frowning and huffing and crossing his arms" stage. Give him a minute.]
But you're tired. Because you won't let me take care of you!

Because I obviously don't need it!
[Hifumi rolls his eyes.]
And now you're totally running! Again! You never wanna hear it, but you need someone to take care of you, Doppo! You'd die if I didn't!

[He does. All Hifumi needed was a hug and reassurance and he got yelled at.
So he's just going to watch Doppo run and hide before going to his room, slamming the door, and curling up on the floor by his bed to cry. Not loudly, he doesn't want to upset Doppo any more, but he needs a good cry.]

[Doppo has never been good at it.
But he can TRY. Try being the keyword. He feels bad. Bad for yelling, bad for causing a scene. He gets up and goes across to Hifumi's room. He figured this would be the way he found him. He's going to walk in and shut the door behind himself.]

[And Hifumi doesn't respond. He's just going to ignore Doppo like Doppo so clearly wants him to do, what with his refusal of Hifumi's care and affection and worry.
Still crying, though.]
Still crying, though.]
[...he'll allow it. He won't lean against Doppo, but he'll let him wrap an arm around him.]
[...okay, he'll lean in to the touch.]
Then say sorry, Doppochin.
Then say sorry, Doppochin.
[And going in for a full hug.]
Why do you do that?
Why do you do that?
[....yeah okay.]
And worry. You're really good at that.
And worry. You're really good at that.
It's so not your only good quality, god.
[He pokes Doppo's cheek a little.]
You're good at calming me down. You're probably, like, way smarter than me? Way better at time management. You don't like upsetting people which is why your boss totally walks all over you and is totally going to end up killing you by overwork. You're way better at grocery shopping, you remember the train schedule, and I know if you let me get a cat you'd love it and be the best at caring for it.

The time thing is questionable, I oversleep all the time....
[He shuffles a little. Hifumi is so goddamn much. He doesn't know how to deal with him sometimes. But dammit? He loves Hifumi. He loves him a lot.]
You accept me even when I'm being a difficult asshole.

Duh. You're Doppochin. Unless you, like, murdered someone I'll always love you. Someone has to, since apparently you don't.
Yeah? Should I not or something?
[Look, he loves Doppo. That's all that matters.]
I love you. I have for years and, like, I'm not gonna stop. Not even if Sensei, y'know, told me I had to because reasons.

I know. You wouldn't still be working at that godawful place if you didn't think you needed to in order to look after me.
[He drops his head on Doppo's shoulder.]
Even though I keep telling you I'd be happier if you stopped because then you'd be less miserable and not about to keel over from work. Sensei can't cure karoshi, you know. [A beat.] Prob'ly, anyway. I mean, it's, y'know, death but maybe Sensei knows people who can fix that. I dunno.
[Hifumi knows damn well not even Jakurai could fix it if Doppo died from overwork, but he'll play up the airhead a little right now]
