Midorima doesn't bother to point out that if Takao were to be the big spoon, he would be breathing in his pheromones face-first. The kotatsu slowly heating up the two of them is probably making the scent stronger, too, even if the blanket briefly delays it escaping to Takao's face. He suddenly doesn't feel the energy to try to really argue about that much, even if his energy levels had been a far cry better than they had been the rest of the day since he'd run into Takao.
A puff of air passes out of his nose, tickling the hairs on Takao's neck at the cheering up comment. It's hard to tell if it's haughty or appreciative, and his words don't clarify any more than the harumph did.
"There's nothing to be done about it. This is why we agreed to be with more than one person."
Or else Midorima would probably just let himself crystallize if he'd only had one person he'd let himself be with. Ideally, Midorima would want to dedicate himself to just one person and have that person be with him but if he'd done that, then he wouldn't want to be with anyone else if they were gone. He decides to explain a little about what they're doing right now to Takao, to try to distract from the fact that it feels very good. Comforting, in some ways, and the positive flow of chroma and contact make it moreso. But it's also Takao, and that's weird, so it's best to just focus on facts.
"If you don't moonlace for too long, you won't have enough chroma. While it has monetary value, if your levels get too low your body will begin to shut down and crystallize. Chroma can be created through simple contact, but the more intimate it is, the greater amounts it creates. If you're injured or sick, you can moonlace to decrease recovery time. Some ailments here are only resolved by creating chroma, like whatever you've managed to get yourself into."
