[Yamaguchi's mouth drops open for a second... but he's quick to snap it shut again, trying to hide his amazement.
Tsukki, taking pride in being recognised for his achievements? Tsukki, caring enough to get this worked up about it? Yamaguchi has to swallow back a wave of emotion. This is what he's always wanted for his best friend in the world. Just for him to have pride in himself, and in something they've become a part of together.]
...You're amazing, Tsukki. Seriously. And that's not just me... everyone sees it.
[Tsukki misses the jaw drop. Too busy demolishing the bread.
Probably for the best.]
Hmph.
[He can't argue with Yamaguchi. Doesn't try. If today proved anything? Tsukki's accomplishments were being recognized, and all right - It hurt to have that growing pride stepped on.]
[Ah... Tsukki doesn't even protest! Yamaguchi can't help but smile a bit to himself
And then, after checking that no one is really around, he leans against Tsukki's shoulder. Just a little.]
I'm sorry it's not going like it was supposed to. Ennoshita-san was talking about it to... like, that he's not sure how he'd keep it together in your position. And that's Ennoshita-san, you know? Keeping it together is like his whole thing.
[People keep calling Tsukki prickly. They're not wrong. He's surrounded by guys who think headlocks and tackles are affectionate. The spikes are self-defense.
Yamaguchi's never been like that. He goes gently. Looks for openings, what's needed.

So Tsukki leans back. A fraction.]
Really?
I guess that helps to know.
