[ He feels that emphasis on the you part. ] Did you want to talk about something?
[ But Makoto doesn't need to answer immediately, at least not with anything too serious when they step in. Sousuke's dad is sitting at the couch and greets the other boy with the a little more enthusiasm than his son.
Sousuke is making a b-line for their small dining table, gesturing at the chair across him. ]
[if sousuke had let makoto have a chance, he would have engaged in small talk with mister yamazaki. as things are, he's left wanting in making a good perpetual impression on sousuke's father, as he instead follows sousuke towards the table. he sits across from the other, hands on the surface of the table and leaving his hands on his lap after placing the bag with the bento and pushing it towards the other.]
Here you are. Onigiri and pork cutlets.
[another smile]
You look good.
[...not a come on, but a general statement of his well-being.]
My favorite. [ He muses, allowing his lips to curl into a brief smile to show his appreciation. He's all too aware that by the tone of his voice that it may come off that he's not, so the subtle change to his expression is essential.
He knows it's not a come on... Makoto please. ]
I feel good, a lot better than a few months ago. Your mom and Rin are making sure I don't slack off any. [ Not that he wants to... even if there are some days where he'd rather not experience the pain that comes with therapy. ] How are things going at your place?
Mm, makes sense. Now that I'm at the restaurant for most days it feels like I'm always there... so I get what you're saying. [ And while he is going to start eating, starting with the pork cutlets, he's not against Makoto taking some food for himself. Sharing is caring. ]
Yup, you can ask the old man.
[ Though that won't be necessary, Sousuke's no liar. ]

[that's already one point for sousuke opening up to him about his weekly therapy treatment]
Kinda slow, but the monthly profits are the same from before. I guess it's because I'm stuck inside there for longer now that it seems even slower.
[he shrugs, a friendly gesture. if sousuke doesn't start eating... makoto steals an onigiri, and bites into it. excuse me.]
Are you doing your exercises at home? Mum always worries patients don't do those...

—Has Rin asked you about it?
