[It's such an optimistic reply, and it leaves Makishima with a brief feeling of contentment. He didn't think Tadokoro would be this accepting of him going out with someone. However, the feeling doesn't last for long, because that's just not the sort of person Makishima is.]
Think more realistically than that. It can't always be that easy. [Even though for once, Makishima wishes it were. He prides himself in being a realist, but if only this one time he could take caution to the wind and go straight to Toudou right this second and tell him that he'll give him a chance, that they can stumble through this relationship together and learn from their mistakes.
That's not how that works. You don't just date your rival because it turns out they have feelings for you. Not when you've never liked another guy your entire life. Not when you're going to leave for another country in a few months.
Thinking about it just leaves Makishima feeling more frustrated, and he lets out a heavy sigh as he runs a hand through his hair.]

You're hopeless for advice.
