Shut up Takao, you know nothing. Your monolgue is delusional and you undervalue your own importance. Midorima will go back to practising all by himself? Sorry, but every time we see him practice you’re right there with him and in his future flashback it’s even implied that you always stay behind alongside him. And he’s irritating? You’re the one who keeps waiting for him and going to find him whenever you’re separated, and insists he spends more time with you. Though to be fair, that’s completely mutual.
You’re the one who’s always by his side and you’re the one who shows most understanding of who he is. You’re the one who’s always smiling around him and proving that you know what he’s really thinking when he’s being dishonest. You’re the one who respects his boundaries and you’re the one who knows when you can push more, and you’re the one who became his partner, and showed him what teamplay is all about. You’re the one whose passes always reaches him.
So stop with this nonsenses that Kuroko was the one to change Midorima. Without you it wouldn’t have happened even if he lost to teamwork. It was thanks to you that he could rely on his team mates and it was you who taught him trust.
You’re only fooling yourself with monologues like these.
