[Hifumi is ready to pounce on Jakurai for The Deets but considering he said he hadn't eaten, he can hold back and wait for a while. At the moment, Jakurai having something to eat was far more important.]
Only the best for you, Sensei!
[He pulls a seat out for Jakurai.]
Please only worry about eating for now, and you can talk about anything bothering you when you're ready!
[ only the best for him, indeed! doppo's concern for jakurai edges out his love for hifumi's food, just barely, and he's coming over to sit with him, gesturing for hifumi to come, too, so they can eat together. ]
Yeah. Hifumi's really gone all out to whip this up for us in such a short time.
[ they did spend some time dawdling... but anyway, doppo's looking the doctor over discreetly, wondering if he can suss out the reason why he's here, and if he needs comfort. all the same -- they'll be here to give him everything he needs. ]
[He just looks a little more worn than usual. He's not trying to let it show too much. He doesn't really prefer to worry the two of them in such an unnecessary manner. Especially when Hifumi keeps going all out for his meals like this. So he appreciates the ear, but perhaps dinner first?]
Thank you both. I know my intrusion is sudden, please forgive me.
[He knows he already apologized once...
But there was no harm in making sure the two of them knew he really hadn't intended to disrupt their evening.]
I am happy to have you there, Doppo-kun. Your knowledge serves you well in our little clinic.
[Of course he’s happy about it. He then says his thanks for the food and starts eating. Hifumi never disappoints with his meals and now is no exception. He finds himself smiling about it. ]
I do not intend for either of you to worry about me.
[He says this between bites, knowing that he’s probably got them worried right now. ]
[ yes they will be there to cheer him up! doppo brightens when jakurai so warmly praises him, and there it is, that smile. it lessens the tension that doppo doesn't quite know he's carrying, and he barely tastes the food when he has it himself.
he keeps them both at the top of his mind -- jakurai and hifumi are precious to him, and once they finish eating, he's starting to clean up. ]
Sensei, we can clean up here. Would you like to take a seat in the living room?

[Hifumi sits to eat with them, while glancing at everything on the table one last time to make sure he provided everything he intended to.]
This is the perfect opportunity to properly thank you, Sensei, for helping Doppo get a job! I'm really happy I get to have him home more often!
no subject
Also, there's nothing to forgive. You're a part of us. And yes -- thank you for helping me get a job.
[ and god, hifumi, that's really embarrassing! he lightly swats at hifumi before gesturing at the food. ]
Go on, eat. It'll get cold otherwise.

[Because they're friends. Because they're a team. Because... Hifumi and Doppo are plagued by anxiety. Many fantastic reasons that's for sure.]
If you want to take the time to sit and relax after eating, you should do that! We'll be here to cheer you up!

...and he's not letting them clean up alone. He will take the dishes from the table and starting bringing them over to the sink.]
It would be wrong of me to intrude and not help you clean up, wouldn't it?
[Time to wash dishes!!]
