He says it without thinking. It's not something he can usually say.. to their faces. Kise still isn't even aware that he's Midorima's boyfriend. And then a moment later he seems to realize something. It's still too fresh for him to have learned to correct it properly et and Midorima gets oddly quiet for a moment.
"One boyfriend. This world sends people home indiscriminately."
Which he was warned about. It was one of the first things Eichi tried to warn him about in getting close to people who were from other worlds, but Midorima isn't capable of not taking a relationship seriously. While there are some moonlacing acts he can get away with without it being too big of a deal now, he hasn't gone all the way with someone who isn't important to him. He doesn't intend on that. It took him a while to even get to accepting the idea that it was irresponsible to accept monogamy in a place like this because of it, but he did because that was what Eichi and Weiss both thought was best.
All in all, it had meant that he had lost one of the most important people to him on this world and had only found out yesterday. He'd been in the progress of shutting down when he'd found Takao, enough of a distraction to not dwell on it at least for then, but now that it's come up he falls quiet for a few moments as he gets in behind Takao, tucking his knees behind the smaller boy's and wrapping an arm around his waist. The inner turmoil is almost enough to distract him from how incredibly awkward this feels.
He tries to focus on insulting Takao instead. He wants to feel like things are normal before he closes himself off to everyone again, because he very much wants to right now.
"You're not physically capable of being the big spoon."
And yes, he did go right for the spooning, since Takao said to just go for the spooning and he's more than a little distracted now.
