( it's always... like this, he finds, every time he does something with hinata he tends to end up crying. komaeda finds himself used to it, that's why he's able to walk away when it happens, hold his head up high with no regrets. this time, though, it's not the same, he's not crying from sadness or frustration, it's because he's happy that this actually happened? he gives him a moment to compose himself, but he doubts that he'll do so, he's such an emotional child, and he's making up for what he won't have in the future. )

Hinata-kun! You're such a crybaby, come now...

( he'll step in front of the other, using his organic hand to cup hinata's chin, keeping him in place as he uses the blindfold to dab his tears, trying to wipe them away. )

You shouldn't cry into the new year! Isn't about smiling, and laughing, along with spreading hope with others?

( it's not going into the january 1st just yet, but he feels like he's right in his assessment. ) So enough tears.
