Kuroko will happily go along with it, replying with a prompt:
I take offense to the idea that I wouldn't be at 100%, no matter what. Please be ready to eat your words.
There, some banter to help lighten the mood. And take his mind off all this awkwardness, trying not to think about how he can't doubt his friend's attraction to him any longer. There's a small part of him that is still in denial, imagining it to be a massive fluke, just a misunderstanding of one's feelings - even after being told point-blank. The cognitive dissonance had not been easy to shake, and perhaps, it made it easier to go about things as if nothing had changed.
But it's hard to say Kuroko is not more conscious of Kise now. That their relationship is going through a fundamental shift.
