[He knew what he was doing, he may be loud, annoying, like to pick on people for their habits. But he is also caring, loyal, observant, and he knows Midorima. So when the shooter leans back, all he'll find is an immobile Takao, a steady, strong back to lean against and quiet.
It's not often the point guard stays this way, but he does through his friend's grief. Eyes closing when he feels Midorima's hair brush against his own, he knows it means the other is crying. He also knows as his heart breaks for his friend that Takao is doing the best thing he can for him; it's small, maybe seems odd to other people. Then again, most of their interactions probably seem that way; they have their ways, and it works for them, so who cares.
He also knows he is one of the few people that Midorima could have done this with, so in some strange way, he's glad he's here now. if they were home he'd assume he was the only, but he knows his friend has made bonds here so he doesn't assume.
When he hears that breath he knows it's coming to an end, but he holds the line until Midorima speaks and is moving.]
Got it.
[He sees his friend from the corner of his eye but says nothing, letting him leave to fix himself for bed, Takao does not even consider changing just finishes what Midorima started then grabs his toothbrush, so he can do the same when Midorima is done.]
