So, this is a hitmen AU with a Kise who likes blood and killing stuff, though there is nothing explicit in this drabble!
***
Midorima jots down the last remark of the autopsy, and sighs. It's only April and there are already more than twenty deaths on their side; Akashi really needs to do something to make their rival company stay away from their missions. He doesn't particularly like taking care of patients on the verge of dying every day. Granted, this is his job and he knew what was coming when he accepted the contract, but seeing them actually die is never a funny experience, especially after hours of trying to keep them alive. He's drained and only wants to collapse on his bed.
“Why the long face, Midorimacchi?”
Midorima sighs even louder and turns around, squinting at Kise's bright smile and his shining eyes.
“You are not allowed to enter this room without permission.”
“Ehh, don't be like that, I'm your friend!” Kise chuckles.
Kise has no concept of personal space and stands too close to Midorima to peer at the body. He isn't fazed by anything, and looks at everything with a happy face, lives what is thrown at him without blinking and barges into people's lives like a bull. He is honestly the worst kind of person in Midorima's opinion, but somehow they're always stuck together—Kise always comes back to him, ever since they met four years ago.
“I knew that guy,” Kise says. “He was way too optimistic. He thought he could save everyone, but why would you want to save people when you're a hitman? That's stupid.”
Kise looks at him, an amused glint dancing in his eyes, and Midorima can't avert his own eyes from this hypnotic yellow.
“People have their own reasons for joining Akashi's company,” Midorima replies with a shrug. “They're not necessarily blood lovers like you.”
“Huh. This is kind of naive, don't you think?”
What is naive, in this? People thinking they can survive without spilling blood? Survive long enough to regret nothing in life? Taking what they need from the company and going on with their life? Midorima hasn't thought that far ahead. He is just working under Akashi's orders, patching people up and hoping for minimal death count.
“Just because they are soft-hearted does not mean they are naive,” he says instead.
“I've never seen someone kind who isn't naive,” Kise counters, a faint line drawn between his brows. “They're always saying stuff about staying human, and being courageous for jumping into the action to save lives. You don't have to think to do that.”
For a moment Midorima wonders if Kise is truly scolding these people for having a split second hesitation to put themselves in danger for others' sake, but then his smile turns into a smirk, the same kind he displays when he's hunting his prey and dead set on catching it.
“I mean, if you die in the process, what good would that do? If you keep saying you want to save people but then die, you won't even see the result of your dedication. That's why I say it's stupid. You're a killer—you can't be a killer and a savior.”
Kise shrugs, as if his reasoning was the only one. He lost interest in the body lying before him as soon as he began talking about something else, and he's just leaning against Midorima, who has given up on telling him off a long time ago. Call him insane, but this is something constant in his life now—the weight of Kise invading his personal space, the chattering that stops only when duty requires either one of them, the childish smile that doesn't match his actions. Midorima has become used to all these particular details, and maybe it's the closest to being alive since the day he lost Takao.
Even though Kise is a constant, it doesn't mean Midorima completely lost his mind.
(He hopes so.)
“Are you saying that I should never go on missions, and stay holed up in my office?” he asks quietly, not moving an inch.
“You probably don't know how to properly fight,” Kise snickers. “Yeah, keep patching us up, you're better at this. Don't try too hard though, like with this guy, because sometimes when something is lost, it's lost.”
It's been years, and Midorima already learned that.
Maybe he's the naive one to think that he can live happily with only what he has.
