"Takao".

"What?!"

"Relax".

"It's easy for you to say! You've been flying for what, years now? And this is my first time on a plane, and I still don't know why the hell I agreed to your suggestion, but you said it was for my birthday and I kinda couldn't help-"

"Takao, just shut up".

"I can't! I'm nervous, and I have to- Damn it, what was that?!"

"It's perfectly normal for the plane to shake during take off, now close your eyes and try to relax. Deep breaths".

The shorter man muttered a curse under his breath before he complied to Midorima's gentle order. He could do this. It wasn't so hard now, was it? Thousands of people flew everyday, almost every hour.

"Fine. B-but it's shaking a lot". He couldn't manage to hide his stutter and the anxiety in his voice as the plane continued rocking. But Midorima said it was normal, right? He would trust him no matter what. Even though the man could be rather unpredictable at times, Takao has learned to put his trust fully into him over the years.

"Trust me, this is normal during take off. It'll be alright after a while". Midorima turned to his left to see Takao had his eyes shut while his hands were gripping his seat tightly. He sighed before lifting his head up to check if there was anyone in the business class that might be able to see them, but since they were taking off, and were practically the only ones in the section, nobody could see them. He slowly stretched his left hand out to his left, and placed it on top of Takao's knuckle showing grip before entwining their fingers.

"Eh?" Takao's eyes snapped open as he felt Midorima's hand around his. He wasn't used to see Midorima showing affection around people or outside, however, the man wasindeed unpredictable.

"You know..I would totally laugh and tease you about this if I wasn't scared to my core. So I'm going to save that up for later". He added a nervous smile as their eyes met.

"Shut up. And don't forget that I'm the one taking you on a holiday".

"Now now, no need to rub your so called romantic gestures on my fa- Shit! Is this supposed to happen?!" Takao squeezed the hand in his tighter as the plane rocked slightly.

"Yes, like I said, it's perfectly normal".

"Shin-chan?"

"Hmm?"

"Don't let go until it stops shaking, okay?"

Midorima sighed with affection. The flight attendants wouldn't start the service until the take off was over, so he might as well agree to Takao's suggestion; not that he would let go of him in this state anyway.

"Fine" He replied in a low voice as he leaned over to Takao's seat to peck him on the lips, a rather uncharacteristic move on his part when they were in public; but nevertheless managed to put a smile on Takao's nervous face. He was definitely going to be teased about this later by the shorter man, but he wouldn't have it any other way.
