[Tadokoro has to laugh. Even though he can still pick up Makishima's unease, it feels like they're both falling into their usual, goofy routine when he feels the bony punch to the shoulder. It doesn't really hurt, but it at least makes normalcy feel like it's not too far away.]
I still feel bad for it though. It worked out, but... I won't do it again if I can help it.
[So long as Makishima doesn't get all wonky again. Tadokoro hopes, for all of their sakes, that it doesn't happen again. But he figures he'll keep playing on this to lighten the mood, and just leans in and grins a bit.]
Nah, let's leave that fun part of the imagination for your boyfriend.
[Already, things are going a along a lot better than he'd been expecting, and Makishima starts to feel relieved. So it was that simple. They just needed to apologize and talk, they were right back to their old selves. He still had his teammate and friend, and nothing had changed. Aside from a few awkward memories that he'd have to forget, but of course that wouldn't be a problem.
But then Tadokoro's teasing continues, and just like that, his thoughts escape him and he starts imagining what it would have been like to pin Toudou against the edge of that work counter and wrap his arms around him, or what if Toudou kissed him just like that, or what if Toudou looked at him like he was going to eat him alive. What if he never said no to him after their date and they went home and did a bunch of things and god he really likes the idea wait WHY IS HE GETTING TURNED ON WHY IS HE THINKING ABOUT THIS]
I said stop!! Y-you--! I'm gonna lock you away just to see how you like it if you keep this up!!
[Makishima's face is burning red as he starts to pummel Tadokoro with skinny, weak fists even though he's not actually angry at all, but goddammit don't make him think about things like that in public!]
[As those bony hands keep pummeling at his arm, Tadokoro just finds himself laughing. Getting his friend worked up by teasing him over something silly is a good thing, and it amuses him to know that he can still crack a good jab.]
Okay, okay! Don't lock me up anywhere!
[He'd get restless and break down the door! And he doesn't want to save up door-fixing money.]
[Damn you and your giant indestructible bear body. At least Makishima stops eventually, mostly out of fatigue, and because he knows he's not doing anything other than amusing Tadokoro at the moment. As he rubs his aching hands, he continues to give his friend a displeased frown, but after a while he finds it too hard to stay angry and he actually manages a normal-looking smile for once.]
You probably deserve it anyway. I remember how harsh you were to Onoda. When are you going to get on your knees and beg forgiveness? I want to see it.
[Thank goodness, Makishima. that smile has him grinning a little, although he does rub his arm a little. Even though it didn't hurt, it almost feels like it bruised from sheer constant contact. But when Makishima brings up Onoda, that's when Tadokoro huffs, chest puffed out like a proud young gent.]
I don't even have ta! I apologized to him already; ya missed the whole thing. Kid said he wasn't mad at all!
Of course he wouldn't be. I don't think Onoda understands how to hold grudges. [With any person that'd probably be a bit odd, but for Onoda, it suits him just fine. Makishima would prefer he stay just the way he is.
Though now that he's thinking about Onoda, he's remember all the embarrassing sappy things he did with him. Maki averts his eyes as he scratches his nose.]
He hasn't... told you anything about things I did, has he?
[Onoda is too pure sometimes. It's a little ridiculous, but Tadokoro can accept it with ease, especially reminiscing over how nice and calming their chat had been. But at Makishima's question, Tarokodo rraises an eye, leaning forard a little.]
It's not anything big, it's just... embarrassing. [Like the hundred other events that happened to him recently. But he hast to admit, it isn't as bad as what happened with Tadokoro or even with Toudou so keeping it a secret seems a bit pointless.]
I only want enough for myself, not something you'd eat! [Makishima follows after him to make sure he doesn't end up going home with an entire cake. Toudou would kill him for bringing back something so indulgent.]
[He gets no choice. Tadokoro only gives him one slice of... three different types of cake, along with a few rolls, and a small pack of soft cookies. Watch as he adds to it all carefully.]

If it's not bad, why are you bein' so shady all of a sudden?

But now I know there's a secret you're keepin' from me. Spill the beans, Makishima.

I hugged him.

Something sweet... I'm not picky about what.
