"Of course there wasn't, don't think that means I'm driving you everywhere." It means that yes, he is, but Takao is never owning the part of himself that is glad even here, this part of their routine isn't going to change.

Of course, Takao must do as God intended. Lucky for Midorima the point guard is inclined to go along here, or he would be grumbling. Not that he won't be as he pedals the two of them around because he can't have Midorima knowing he doesn't mind.

Midorima has been good to him, sure they bicker or banter, whatever one wants to call it. But overall, he has been the best thing for Takao today. He met nothing but kindness here, and it is a little overwhelming. He appreciates it, more comfortable to accept it from someone he is already close to. It's just a lot today.

"Shin-chan..." Crap, he is not going to cry; he is not going to cry. He is going to cry, quickly he spins on his heel, busying himself with setting his shoes down, so his face is hidden when the first tear hits his cheek. God, he is stupid, crying like some little kid at a kindness he would have given himself if the roles were reversed. "Thank you..." He does his best not to sound like he is crying. Just ignore him, he is having a moment, among many today.
