[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.
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.
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]

[Tugging him closer.]

Why do you do that?
no subject
All I know how to do is lash out.

And worry. You're really good at that.

[...his chest is a little heavy.]
I feel a little worthless sometimes when my only good quality is that I can protect you.

[He pokes Doppo's cheek a little.]

[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.

[He is definitely red now?! Good job Hifumi. He doesn't know how to deal with this right now.]
no subject
[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.
no subject
[Say it so plainly, and get Doppo red faced. Doppo loves Hifumi too! So much?!]
You know I love you too, right?

[Reflexively he puts a hand on top of Hifumi's head and strokes his hair.]
I'd be happier if I quit, but, I just....can't quite. Threat of karoshi or not.
[Sensei....could not fix him if he died, but, yeah.]

Sighing, kissing his forehead.]
You'd want an asshole taking care of you?

[Duh.]
You're still Doppochin, and the only person who's better at taking care of me is, y'know, Sensei. And he's a doctor.
