Kuroko makes a small, confused noise at the sudden hug. Weirdly, it feels more like he's the one comforting the blond, but he takes it in stride, wrapping his arms around Kise and patting him on the back.

"Thank you. I'm sure with a little bit of time, it won't even be relevant anymore." He can totally ignore his feelings and let them fade! Kise managed to do it, after all! (He winces a bit internally at this thought.)
